Irina laughed delightedly at the fact that she had successfully surprised Dan; wading as fast as she could, she glanced over her shoulder in time to see him scoop up as much water as he could to get her wet. Deciding to take matters into her own hands, she took a deep breath and dove under the water, completely submerging herself so he couldn't get her any more wet than she already was. Opening her eyes underwater, Irina was grateful to see how close the sandy bottom was to her. While she had mostly conquered her fear of deeper water, this was an unfamiliar body of water and she didn't want to get too far out. She swam swiftly over to Dan, gently grabbing his ankle before reemerging with a great splash. "Got you!" she sang, laughiing as she pushed her sopping wet mane of hair back from her face. "Come on in the water is delightful, and it's a nice reprieve from the heat," she added, fallinng back so she was floating on her back, her gaze turning towards the clear blue sky. @daniel

Once she went under the water, Daniel grimaced. He really didn't want to go all the way under. He had no idea how deep the water was, or where the drop-off was rather. But, he waded forward slightly before suddenly she grabbed his ankle. He let out a surprised yell, before she re-emerged. The big smile on her face and the fun she was having was enough to calm him not to be as freaked out. She said the water was great, and that it gave some relief from the heat. "Okay, okay." He pushed off the bottom, so that he could start floating on his back as well beside her. "You're right, it is nice."

Irina said nothing but merely nodded in response. They floated in a pleasant silence for a few minutes, before she piped up again. "So, it's an important day tomorrow if I do remember correctly," she said, settting her feet back on the botomm and looking over at him. He looked so peaceful which was a nice thing to see; a small smile crept up her lips. "Got any big plans, Sir Almost Nineteen?" she asked him, quirking an eyebrow in playful curiosity. Truth be told, Irina did have a little plan up her sleeve. She had needed the help of her roommate Tia, who was much better versed in things like the internet. She was trying to play it as cool as possible though; she didn't need her excitement making Daniel suspicious. @daniel

Daniel kept paddling back when she stopped, moving away from her. "Just doing whatever Spanish stuff you wanna do," he answered. He wasn't sure that he loved the idea of turning 19. He felt like 18 was such a big milestone, but 19 was even bigger considering you were out of school by then no matter what. He questioned every day what he did with his life, and every day he decided he was happy enough for the time being. He loved playing quidditch, but often felt there was more to do for him. Not that he wanted to help fight bad guys or anything, but at least Irina was out there helping people out.

Irina frowned a little at Dan's response. It was pretty typical of him to be apathetic about things, but here they were in a gorgeous foreign country with a variety of food, culture and history. Irina knew her fascination with history could border on obsessive, but Dan had always been appreciatiive of it. "Hey," she said softly, wading over to where he was floating. "Is everything okay? I know you don't love your birthday but I do recall you having a rather decent one last year," she asked, smirking a little to hide the concern in her eyes. @daniel

She followed after him and he looked over at her, stopping his paddle finally to lower his feet. He shrugged, glad his feet could still reach the bottom. He ran his right hand along the top of the water a little, watching it. He smiled at her second comment, but tried to stay casual. "Yea, I guess it wasn't that bad. But I just don't think it's a big deal is all. Just getting old," he suggested.

Irina had a feeling there was more to Daniel's story, but she would remain patient. If he wanted to talk about it, he would when he was good and ready, not a moment before. "Well then," she said, then splashed him playfully. "Come on, it's time to see this beautiiful city I've read so much about," she told him with a smile. She waded out of the water and dried herself off with her wand. Once the tent was set up a bit further back in the woods, she took Daniels' hand in hers and they Apparated to a safe spot near Las Ramblas in Barcelona. There were enough sounds coming from the diifferent stalls that nobody paid them any extra mind as they walked down the cobblestone street. The smells were overwhelmingly wonderful, and Irina's mouth watered at it. Alas, they had a booking to make, and the personnel at La Sagrada Familia were very stringent on timing. When they reacheed their destination, Irina stopped dead in her tracks, her mouth forming a perfect 'o' at the architectural wonder that stood before them. @daniel

She splashed him to knock him out of his stupor, and it worked. He sputtered, chuckling a little as he gave her a very small splash in return. "Yes, let's focus on the city," he agreed as they left the water and prepared camp. When it was time to go, she took his hand and he side along apparated with her. He actually preferred to not be the one leading in an apparation, just because he kind of liked the feeling of not being the one in control in that regard. He could sense a strong feeling of excitement from her when their hands touched and maybe a hint of... Mischeviousness? Scheming? Either way, he was about to ask about it before they landed with a crack and all the sounds and smells erupted around them. He curled in on himself a little, his shoulders hunching as he pressed himself closer to Irina. He linked his arm through hers, so he could grab her arm with both hands. If was a beautiful place though, irregardless. They arrived at the building and, like her, his on jaw dropped and eyes widened. "Woah, what is it? A cathedral?" he questioned. Irina Rose Krum

Irina nodded, eyes still wide with wonder. “It is indeed. It’s been being built for over a hundred years, and they’re not set to complete construction for another two,” she told him, remembering what she had read about the cathedral in a pamphlet from the Magical Travel Agency office. They stepped in line and waited for their turn to go through security, Irina’s hand never leaving Daniels’. Every once in awhile she’d look over and squeeze his hand reassuringly; the cathedral was definitely going to be crowded, but with this much beauty on the outside, she could only imagine the feelings of awe and quiet reflection that would vibrate off the other tourists on the inside. Sure enough, walking in Irina noted a revered silence as the tourists pointed up at the rainbow colored windows, the swirling patterns making their way up the columns into the rooftop. “Wow,” she breathed again, then laughed slightly. “Imagine coming up with something like this in your head,” she said, a wistful smile playing at her lips. “He died so young that he had no chance of seeing its completion. I think I’d stay a ghost if I were home to be perfectly honest. I wouldn’t be able to rest knowing that I haven’t seen my piece de resistance completed.” Irina looked over at Daniel and her smile relaxed. “I wonder what Gaudi was like,” she wondered out loud. @daniel

Dan definitely didn't like waiting in the line, but her looks of reassurance were... well, reassuring. He wasn't entirely thrilled about all the people in there either, but at least their emotions were move reverent than anything else. That was an emotion he could get behind. Only occasionally was there something that nagged at him, but then they'd move on. She talked about the designer being a ghost in order to see the place he had designed and he nodded, pursing his lips a little. "Oh, I have no doubt about that. He's probably still around," he suggested, chuckling. He looked over to her when she looked at him, "well, he was definitely creative, that's obvious," Dan answered. Clearly there was a lot to be said inside the mans mind that just came out in architecture. Dan wished he could do something that cool. Irina Rose Krum

Irina glanced around, then leaned in to whisper. “Perhaps he’s watching us marvel at his designs right at this very moment.” She kept her voice low and tried to make it spooky, the way her father did when he told the Krum children scary stories around Halloween. She could add to the spook by making something move with her wand, but that would have been overkill. So instead she tugged at his arm and led him over to the elevators that would take them to the top of the church. “People say you can get the best view of Barcelona from up here,” she said excitedly as they got on the elevator. When they got to the top, Irina walked briskly towards the windows, eager to see what lay before them. “Wow,” she said, leaning on the windowsill to marvel at the perfectly aligned streets below. A massive hill in the distance caught her eye, and she turned to Daniel. “We should hike that bad boy out there; we can see Barcelona AND Sagrada Familia,” she suggested. @daniel

She whispered and he shuddered in a faux reaction, turning to her and furrowing his brows. "Very spooky," he complimented. He smirked, then let her lead him inside. As she talked about the view he felt her excitement rushing through him and mixing with his own. It was causing him to rapidly tap his foot on the floor. He followed her, holding onto the sleeve of her shirt lightly to stay connected to her as she led them to the window. Once there, his jaw dropped as he looked down. "Woah," he muttered softly. When he pointed at the hill he turned to her as well, "ooh, okay! Do they allow camping there too? That could be our next stay, maybe," he considered. Irina Rose Krum

Irina looked over at Dan, happy that he seemed delighted with the view. “I don’t know! Possibly, though we could always...sneak in, even if it wasn’t technically allowed,” she commented, a devilish grin on her face. She wasn’t someone who went looking for ways to break the rules, but as a true Gryffindor, she didn’t mind finding a loophole, especially in the Muggle world. “Depends on if you’re daring enough,” she added slyly, hoping her boyfriend would rise to the verbal challenge she was offering him. Dan had always been a little less reckless than she was, even from a younger age, but she knew he could be convinced to break the rules every now and then. A group of tourists made their way out of the elevator behind them, and Irina jerked her head towards the stairs. “That’s our cue,” she told him, gripping the railing as they made their way down the very spiraling staircase. “They don’t have staircases like these at Hogwarts, at least they were straight down, even if they did move,” she grumbled, stopping a moment so the slight dizziness she was experience went way. When they reached the ground floor, Irina let out a sigh of relief, then turned back towards him. “So, what now?” she asked with a smile. @daniel

She said that they could sneak in and Dan laughed, shaking his head. "Hmm... I don't think I want to go getting arrested in a foreign country, even if it would be incredibly easy to break out of a mortal prison," he added. They probably wouldn't even get got, in all honesty. But just the thought of the emotions around other people locked up... that didn't sound fun. But... the chances were small and it did seem like something that could be fun... he pursed his lips, "but..." he started, but then the elevator opened and she was quickly leading the way down the spiral stairs. She stopped for a second and he chuckled, "I've walked my fair share of spiral staircases in my time," he admitted. He never minded them. They reached the bottom of the staircase and she asked what they should do next. He smirked, "since when did I make the decisions around here?"Irina Rose Krum

Irina rolled her eyes but smiled all the same at Daniels’ quip. “Well I was trying to share the lead but if you like a woman in charge…” she trailed off, gently running her fingers down his arm before taking his hand. “Shopping,” she decided, pulling out the map with her free hand. There was a beautiful walkway close to where they were called Las Ramblas, which had great shopping and street food they could try. It was a little bit of a walk, but with the city being as beautiful as it was, she didn’t mind the walk. “I don’t want this vacation to end,” Irina said suddenly, after they had been walking for some time. It was true; no responsibilities, no worries, just going from beautiful city to beautiful city, spending time just the two of them. Sure, they were still an Empath and a Seer, but Irina had noticed a definite drop in visions while they were traveling. She was glad for that; the last thing she really needed right now was some horrifying vision of something that may happen in the future that she couldn’t control. @daniel
