Irina nodded understandingly; there was a lot of apprehension about returning to Hogwarts, at least from a parents point of view after the vessel explosions of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, plus the Ilvermorny explosions. Though technically it did not occur on school grounds, there was a lot of pointing fingers from what her friends at the Ministry were saying. “I suppose the American kids were simply happy to go home to the States for a time,” she said. She didn’t know what it’d be like to be suddenly shipped off to an entirely different country, far away from family. At least with the Krum family, they were all in England by the time the eldest started schooling. Irina also knew that part of Dan’s retreat back to Durmstrang had to do with the longing of stability and comfort back home where he knew everything; she didn’t need to bring that up though. They had worked past that now. Irina drained her drink and sighed contentedly. “Shall we go see what this room has to offer then?” she asked, raising a brow at him before giggling despite herself. @daniel

Irina was probably right about the American kids being happy to go home for the holidays. He knew how that felt. The nice thing for him was that he wasn't forced to stay. These kids would have to come back after the break. He probably could have dealt with staying if it was a choice, and not because his school was compromised. She finished her drink and he followed suit, but didn't drink all of it before she suggested seeing what the room had to offer. He nodded, standing. "Better get going before the happy couple comes back. Unless..." His eyes widened, "they got a room too!?" Then he chuckled, "I'm kidding. Just because other people are having sex doesn't mean I'm not going -" he stopped and his eyes went so wide they almost popped out of his head. Irina Rose Krum

Irina laughed and stood with him. “Honestly with as many people with them as they had they’d probably have a better shot of privacy by sneaking into the loo and getting it on there,” she told him bluntly, almost missing his last statement. She stopped in her tracks and looked at him, surprised and curious that he had actually said the word sex out loud. It wasn’t as if they had never done it before of course, but Daniel was very reserved and private when it came to their intimate relationship, and Irina respected that. Not that she was shouting it to the rooftops of course, but she also wasn’t an empath that had to feel the emotional reaction slamming into her from the person on the receiving end of the news. “Well…” she stammered, then just laughed. “You really should see your face right now; I’m afraid I’m going to have to learn a spell to reattach your eyeballs to your sockets,” she said cheerfully, leaning over and kissing him on the cheek. “Alright playboy, let’s head upstairs,” she joked, winking and taking him by the hand and leading him up the stairs. @daniel

She had a good point about the couple sneaking away from their friends, and probably family, that was with them. With his words, though, she froze too. Her look wasn't as wild as his. Her emotions were surprised and definitely amused. She laughed at him, saying she needed to fix his eye sockets. He swallowed, and chucked a little nervously. Thankfully, her amused mood pulsated through her hand and into his, making it easier for him to feel at ease about his... Phrasing. She kissed his cheek, calling him 'playboy' and finishing off with a wink before before leading him up the stairs. "Hey, I was trying to take the lead on this one," he argued, but he didn't move to step in front of her. Irina Rose Krum

Irina grinned and happily rolled her eyes at him. "My apologies your highness," she teased, feeling lighter already. She led them up the stairs, glancing down at the ornate silver key in her palm, checking it for the room number. "Three oh eight....aha. Here we are," she announced, stopping short of the room whose brass numbers read 308. A beautiful Christmas wreath hung on the door and Irina smiled fondly at it. "Not as good as ours were obviously, but quite festive." Irina unlocked the door and looked in. They had decorated the interior of the room too, complete with a small Christmas tree beautifully lit up in softly glowing fairy lights, and a shining silver star on top. A fire crackled merrily in the fireplace, with stockings hung on the mantle, just like the poem. "Well they certainly have outdone themselves this time," she breathed, feeling a little sad that not many people were getting to witness this amazing Christmas spirit. Irina turned to Dan, a sly smile on her face. "Age before beauty my love," she told him, bowing low and gesturing for him to go inside first. @daniel

He rolled his eyes when she referenced him as royalty, saying nothing. He shoved his free hand into his hoodie pocket, pretending to pout. When they reached the door she announced that their wreaths were better and he nodded, leaning against the door frame for a second, his head back and tilted to the side, "we should make a wreath this year and hang it at the apartment," he paused, "my apartment."She unlocked the door and he dramatically leaned into it, turning his head to look into the room as she spoke. He leaned further against the door itself when she talked about the room, then when she suggested he do first in that sassy way. He tugged on her hand, releasing his hand from.his pocket to clasp the back of her neck. He pulled her close enough to kiss but didn't. His brow furrowed a little, "I don't want you to hold back or anything. I know you've been keeping yourself in check around me and I don't want you to right now."Irina Rose Krum

Irina's pulse quickened when he said 'the apartment'. Not his apartment, just the apartment. True enough, Irina spent plenty of time over there, but half of it Maria was home, so they didn't get much privacy. With Irina's apartment, she had her own room but two other roommates, so privacy again didn't always happen. This room, this festive, warm, cozy room was just theirs, nobody else to bother them. Even if they just spooned on the bed, Irina would feel content. She just liked to be with him, as sappy as that sounded. She felt safe when his arms were around her protectively. It was her idea of heaven. "A wreath sounds perfect, but we'd have to get it tomorrow," she told him. Irina waited as Dan dramatically leaned into the room, laughing at his exaggerated movements. He tugged her inside and Irina felt her pulse quickening again as he held her close. He asked her to not hold back, and it only took Irina the briefest of seconds to manage a tiny nod with her head, accompanied by a small smile. "Okay."@daniel

Yeah, they'd definitely have to do the wreath thing tomorrow. When he asked her to not hold back she gave a tiny nod, a small smile, and agreed. He took in a deep breath, "okay." He finally closed the gap between their lips, willing the space that was between them to vanish. The door was still wide open as he leaned against it, but the walls hear were thick enough that he wasn't feeling any emotions other than the two of theirs. He released her hand in order to take her waist instead, pulling her right up against him. He wasn't actually sure which emotions were his or hers but... In a situation like this, where they were bound to be feeling the same things, it didn't really matter. Plus, not that he wanted to per say, but who wouldn't want to feel someone else's pleasure at that kind of high with their own? It was hard to wind down from, sure, but at least he'd know she was enjoying herself. If she wasn't... Well, that would be an awkward conversation. Thankfully, her emotions were not negative right now. He finally stepped further into the room, and his hands were going for the skin at her waist before the door was even closed. Irina Rose Krum

Irina smiled as Dan pressed his lips to hers. She was vaguely aware that the door was still open but to be perfectly frank, she didn't care. She slid her arms around his neck, her fingers winding in his curly hair. She gasped slightly as his hand touched her bare skin, and a shiver ran down her spine that had nothing to do with the cold. Not letting her lips leave his, she gently moved back until she bumped against the bed. She broke it then, looking deep into his eyes, conveying silently for him to continue, her breath already coming in quicker with the anticipation of what was about to happen. faaaaade to black
Irina couldn't stop smiling as she nestled herself against Daniel, the warm firelight bathing them a while later. She had only ever been with Daniel, but if it was this good with him, what more could she ask for. She squeezed him lightly, then scooted herself up to plant a kiss on his chin. "Hey," she said softly, smiling sleepily up at him. "How are you?" she whispered, moving a hand to run her fingers through his hair. @daniel

Daniel was kind of half asleep, listening to the fire when Irina kissed his chin and spoke to him. He kept his eyes on the ceiling and smiled. "Fine, a little cold," he joked, pulling her closer to him in order to get warmer. With his other arm he grabbed the blanket at brought it up to his chin, which meant that it covered most of her face. "That's better," he chuckled. His heart was still beating a little too fast, and he was sure if he stood up he'd pass out from being out of breath, but if he held still he'd be fine for the time being. Either way, he was happy to just lie there together for the moment, even if he was kind of craving a snack. Irina Rose Krum

Irina giggled as he pulled her closer and drew the blanekt up over her head. "Hey! I can't breathe!" she exclaimed, but it was mostly from laughing. She pressed her hand against his chest and leaned her head against it. "Hey heart, calm down. It's only physical exercise," she whispered in a teasing voice, bursting into a fit of giggles again. A knock at the door came then, and Irina lifted her head up, puzzled. "Does the Leaky Cauldron have turn down service now or something?" she asked, casting a curious glance at Dan before reaching for the plush robe in the closet. She let the sheets fall behind her and shrugged on her robe, tying it securely around her waist. She opened the door and looked out at an empty corridor. "No one's there..." she said suspiciously, then looked down and gave a gasp of delight. A tray of cookies and a steaming pot of cocoa were on a tray, along with a note. She bent down and picked it up, carefully bringing it over to the bedside table. "It says, heard you were here and thought you might be a bit hungry. It's signed by your mums' friend," she told him, handing over the note before shrugging the robe off and slipping back under the covers. She reached over and picked up a cookie, studying the tree shaped dessert before taking a nibble. "Oh my gosh these are AMAZING," she moaned, extending her hand to Dan so he could try one. @daniel

She said that she couldn't breathe, laughing, and he laughed too. Then, she told his heart to calm down due to the physical exercise, and he shook his head. "It's not because of the exercise," he reminded her, placing a hand on top of hers. But then there was a knock at the door and she left to check it. When she came back with the cookies and the note, he rolled his eyes. "Thank goodness there isn't anything else on that tray," he grumbled to himself. He loved her, but he could see his mother's friend leaving him some interesting something-or-other to assist him in his night spent with his girlfriend. That was a concerning thought. Irena said that the cookies were amazing, so he reached across her to grab one, sitting up in the bed. "Well," he said after taking his first bite, "these are amazing. Just what I needed," he deducted, dunking his cookie in the cocoa and taking another bite. "Hopefully there isn't some sort of vitality potion brewed in there." He joked. She wouldn't go THAT far.

Irina smiled at him sweetly. "I know its not, but I figured maybe a different approach would make you laugh and cause it to come down a bit," she told him before taking another large bite of her cookie. She followed Dan's lead and dunked the cookie in the cocoa before biting down into it. "Good call," she said in between mouthfuls. At his vitality potion comment, Irina coughed and nearly choked on the cookie. Coughing slightly, she took a long sip of the hot cocoa. "D'you think she'd do that?" she managed to gasp, before laughing at the idea. They weren't even twenty yet, there was plenty of time for that later! She knew her parents wanted grandchildren - more Quidditch players for their own family league they'd joke - but Irina wanted to live some of her adult life first before all of that. Irina settled back into the pillows after she finished eating and sighed happily. "Well, vitality potion joke aside, that was an amazing surprise," she said, turning her head to look at him. "Speaking of, I did bring your Christmas present with me, if you wanted to take it home with you," she told him, nodding to her purse that had been dumped ceremoniously at the corner of the door in the heat of the moment earlier.

She said she knew his heart wasn't because of the excersize, just that she was trying to make him laugh. He felt a little bad that he didn't get the joke, and pursed his lips to the side in annoyance with himself. Still, it was easy to overcome that with the happy feeling of sharing the cookies and cocoa. She asked if he really thought Carrie would put something in the cocoa and he laughed, feeling only a little guilty that she choked. ”Nooo,” he laughed with her. ”That would be literally insane and my mother would kill her,” he added. Once Irina was done and settled back, Dan kept himself upright for a bit. ”It was a nice surprise,” he turned back to look at her too. She brought up Christmas presents and his entire body stiffened. ”I... I could. I don't have yours,” he confessed. She was always more prepared than he was. Irina Rose Krum

Irina chuckled. “Your mother and my father would join forces then. Isn’t that a terrifying thought,” she told him with a rueful shake of her head. Dan’s mother and Viktor had been friends since their Durmstrang days, and the reason Daniel had been a part of her life since before she could remember. She wondered how their families felt about them being involved romantically - her father and mother seemed happy enough for her, but it definitely felt a little storybook. Not that Irina minded. Irina shook her head and smiled as she felt his body stiffen next to her. “I’m always prepared, plus if our families are celebrating Christmas together again I figured we wouldn’t have much time alone to exchange gifts. You can open it later though, I don’t mind,” she told him casually, lying back down and moving closer to him. “ This is a perfectly good Christmas gift though,” she added cheekily. She glanced out the window at the darkened sky and couldn’t help but smile. “You know what’s great about being adults?” she began, tilting her chin up to look at him. “We don’t have to sneak back to Hogwarts after Hogsmeade visiting hours are over now. We’re free to stay here the entire night; don’t have to answer to a single person.”
