Donovan! BEHIND BARS
Danielle would not refer to Donovan as a--as a prisoner because her boyfriend would be out of there as soon as humanely possible! Donovan was not a death eater, he did not participate in those terrible, horrible---some of his best friends were halfbloods and muggleborns, he---she was a halfblood, so---it didn't make any sense, why would they think?

In her very logical thought process, her mind concluded that Augustus must have decided to drag his brother down with him. There was no way that Donovan could honestly be linked to any of the atrocities that a death eater might commit, but---Danielle did not know for a fact that her boyfriend's older brother was a death eater, but he'd always said the most horrible of things to her under his breath, he'd always given her these terrible chills. It was--it was not hard to believe that Augustus was a death eater.

But not Donovan, not her Donovan.

The hitwizard opened the gate and Danielle stood stiffly in the entry way as she waited for him to give her permission to enter. She'd been in these holding cells before, to help injured prisoners. It was how she'd gotten through here so quickly; she'd raced to the ministry and offered up her services as the healer who would give the two latest prisoners a physical exam. Unless they realized who she was before she could get into the cell, Danielle would have a much closer visit with Donovan than would have been otherwise allowed.

"Rookwood, get up," said the hitwizard as he removed some of the magical bars to let Danielle through, "Sit up for the healer."

He knew that dropping that particular bombshell on Danielle was going to cause her to malfunction for a moment, but he hadn’t been expecting that. His eyes searched hers, even though the entire room seemed to be spinning in that moment. His own head was spinning, working double time to try and think of some sort of solution to all of this where everyone walked out happy – where everyone got what they wanted.

But he feared – no, he knew that wasn’t a possibility…but because of the circumstances, he couldn’t just lay down and accept it. Not yet, anyway. Not until he had someone there who was going to be able to shake some sense into him and lead him in the right direction.

That’s why he had hired Rhys Nott. The man was a damn good lawyer, and not only that, his name had been mentioned at least once by his brother. Donovan really did know more than he should about…well, several people.

Still, that didn’t change the fact that Danielle had just proposed the option of marriage to the man standing before her – a man who she may never see again, should something go awry and he be wrongfully charged with crimes he never committed. He knew that was a possibility, he knew this wasn’t a situation to be taken lightly, but-…

He let out a breath that he hadn’t realized he had been holding, and moved his hands to the side of her neck, pressing a kiss to her lips – one that was over far too quickly, seeing how they still had the guard to worry about. He pulled back from her, and then looked her in the eyes – they were still so close that he was practically going cross-eyed just trying to keep eye contact.

“…you know I want to.”

Really, after everything they had been through, who else was he ever going to find in this world to marry? She had always been ‘the one’, but the timing had never been right for either of them, and they had a lot of shit to work through. He wouldn't say 'I will' or 'I'm going to', because that would make it harder to deal with, God forbid he got sent away to that prison, but he'd assure her that her wants were the same as his - she deserved to know that much.

“I love you…it hurts, how much I love you."

She used to not understand that phrase, but it had become perfectly clear in the last few minutes, days, months. Danielle had always thought it was silly to say that you couldn't live without a person because it hurt too much---you most certainly could live to a very old age without ever getting married, but to live was a different story. If she hadn't reunited with Donovan, there would always be a part of her left unfulfilled, she would have always had those questions left unanswered.

A short, surprised giggle escaped her.

But now, she knew. Her eyes went in and out of focus, ready to snog him senseless, but she didn't. Danielle's heart swelled at his response and she wished she could revel in the feeling but she was too smart to know that they didn't have forever, and had been focused enough to hear the guard's footsteps approaching. She smiled before she stepped back and pulled away, her face still red with excitement and adoration as she stuck out her wand at him again. A bright light lit up at the end of it, and the illuminating spell bounced off Donovan's eyes in the dark cell.

"I need you to sit down, Rookwood." Painless green sparks flew out from the end of her wand as she gestured toward the bench. Danielle felt terrible for speaking in such a tone with Donovan, but it had to be professional and--somewhat loathsome, really---Danielle feared she may have appeared too stoic, as the hitwizard entered the cell, looking between both of them.

"Is everything all right?"

"It's fine, he's fine." He wanted to marry her someday, he was more than fine.

"If this one's giving you a problem, his brother's going to be a nightmare."

Danielle bristled at the reminder that she'd also have to perform the examine on Augustus, who might blow her cover up completely, but she had a terrible feeling that he was going to have much fun with this dangerous game she was playing.
