Tracey shut her journal and looked at it for a moment. It was so close to Christmas and her Father still hadn't owled her. Pushing away the resentment she felt, Tracey got up and headed towards the 7th year girls dorms. Climbing the stairs, her mind flitted amongst all the random thoughts in her head. Approaching her bed, Tracey placed her journal safely under her pillow. She noticed that the house-elves had washed and folded her school robes and were neatly folded at the end of her bed.

Checking her reflection in the mirror she ran hern delicate hands through her dark brown hair. Throwing on a black scarf and picking up a pair of gloves, Tracey made the descent back down the stairs to the Common Room. Seeing that Theodore was not there yet, Tracey sat back down in her favorite chair opposite the fireplace. As she waited, she surveyed her neatly manicured hands while singing a tune lightly under her breath. The young girl had a lovely voice, although very few people had heard it. Her Mother had urged her to join the choir, but Tracey made it clear that she would rather die before she would sing infront of the whole school. Besides, chior was her Mother's thing.

Absently twirling her hair around her finger, Tracey stared into the fire; waiting for Theodore..

Closing his journal after his last comment to Tracey, Theodore stood from a stone bench situated under a great oak in the courtyard, tucked his journal safely inside the bag on his shoulder and made his way back towards the Main Hall. The night air was cool and crisp against his face; it was refreshing, calming even. Raising one hand as he stopped by the Great Doors, he pushed the door open and went inside, shivering slightly at the instant rush of warm from inside the Castle.

Sighing, he then made his way as quietly as possible through the corridors towards his Common Room. Once he entered, darkness momentarily rendered him blind, the corner fireplace being the sole source of illumination in the still room. At first, the room seemed deserted and he was about to climb the staircase to the boy's dormitories when his ear caught slight sound. He silently followed its source and finally found his lady, lounging on a plush armchair by the fireplace. And she was singing, or humming, he found. It was a nice sound, one that pleasantly lingered in the cold air of the dungeons. Ceasing in his tracks just beside her chair, he allowed a lasting moment to pass, of him merely standing there and listening to her sing, and finally allowed himself to speak moments after. "That was beautiful." he said as he unfolded the scarf around his neck, the slightest of smiles grazing his lips.

Jumping slightly when Theodore made his presence known to her, Tracey gave the boy a small, shy smile. "Thankyou.." she said lightly with the slightest trace of embarrassment. With that, she rose to her feet and stood up. Smoothing out her clothes, Tracey gave her companion a lingering look before she walked around the chair to stand next to him.

Kissing Theodore on the cheek in a rather nonchalant manner, Tracey studied her housemate for a moment. He was undeniably good looking. She wondered for a bit why he didn't have half of the female population of Hogwarts chasing after him. "How have you been, Theodore darling?" Tracey asked, snapping out of her thoughts.

Theodore's eyes trailed after Tracey when she stood and made her way around the chair towards him. "You're welcome." he said softly, pocketing his hands. Even in the weak light, she looked quite stunning, he noted, though this small fact hardly surprised Theo. She always did.

Suddenly, Tracey stopped beside him. Soon, she was leaning in, closer and closer; he stood silently on the spot, tense and mildly anxious as he waited. The next second, he felt the soft brush of her lips against his cheek and for a moment, he merely stood there, stunned with only the mild widening of his usually cold eyes reflecting his surprise. She just...

It took him a moment to regain his voice after she had asked him. "I've been well." he said, his eyes retreating to the floor. "And yourself?"

Watching Theodore closely, Tracey found herself pondering the many mysteries her housemate. Just by looking into his eyes, she felt that there was so much that he has left unsaid for most of his life. There was a part of her that wanted to know everything about her handsome companion.

Ignoring the way her heart was beating in her chest, she replied to Theodore's question "Oh, I've been okay. I'm glad it's the holidays though." She talked in a steady voice, her eyes not leaving Theodore's. "How were you grades?" Tracey asked. "No doubt excellent like usual?"

There was something different in the air between them that night, Theodore noted, though it was definitely something he couldn't quite place. The Common Room seemed... warmer somewhat, or perhaps it could just be Tracey's gaze that's making him hot.

"They're... satisfactory." Theodore said, even though he knew she was right. Anything less than superb marks were unacceptable for his standards, of course. Still, boasting would seem to disrupt the mood they have already built between them. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her inviting ones but his eyes then slowly trailed down her nose to her supple pink lips, before they locked gazes with her again. "And yours?" he inquired, distantly wondering where their light chatter will be heading...

"Satisfactory? You don't have to be modest around me love.." Tracey said playfully while giving Theodore a small grin. Thinking about her own grades, Tracey gave inwardly cringed. She had barely passed most of her subjects. Making a mental note to try harder next when school returned, Tracey blew a stray hair out of her face.

Noticing a small leaf in Theodore's hair, Tracey pointed and said; "You got something in your hair darling." Before he could do anything, she then delicatly removed the leaf it and smiled. Tracey then ran her finger down the side of Theodore's face.. "Did you still want to go for that walk?"

Did he? Theodore asked himself. In truth, that was what they had agreed upon, though at that specific instance Theodore was surprised to realized that it didn't exactly matter. Sure, he has always been partial to the outside in comparison to the dungeons, but the Slytherin Common was definitely presenting more potential.

Suddenly he found Tracey reaching a hand towards him; he waited patiently for what's about to happen next before he realized she merely plucked a leaf from his hair. "Thank you." Theodore said, feeling less stiff that before. "I'll let you decide." He answered faintly, leaning towards those soft hands of hers without breaking their intense gaze. "I'm fine with whatever you'd want to do..."

Smiling at Theodore, Tracey tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "I think a walk sounds perfect right about now.." She said while slipping on a pair of small black gloves. Walking towards the Common Room door, she beckoned for Theodore to follow.

"Is it cold outside?" Tracey asked, turning around to study her companion. He seemed so mature, so much more so than herself. That of course was what was different about Theodore compared to all the other boys at Hogwarts..

"Alright then." Theodore said with a small nod, watching the graceful movements of her hands as she slipped on her gloves. For some reason, he did not move immediately when she started to move towards the Common Room entrance; his head merely turned to watch her. "It is. Are you certain you're dressed warmly enough?" he asked, then at last turned fully to face her before walking across the room to stand behind her. Without uttering a word, he shrugged off his dark cloak and draped it over her shoulders. "Better?" he asked, his breath brushing against her ear as he spoke, his fingers lingering on her upper arms...

Shivering slightly at Theodore's touch, Tracey smiled weakly at the boy. "Thankyou.. That's much better." Her own flimsy jacket was rather aesthetically pleasing, but not very practical. Feeling very self conscious all of a sudden, Tracey's face slightly flushed as she felt Theodore's breath on her ear. She was sure that if he got any closer, he would hear her heart beating wildly.

"Let's go.." She said to the boy. Tracey had never felt this way about someone before. Theodore was different though. He was a gentleman, he was refined, he was intelligent, he was handsome he was.. perfect. She felt her self blushing again, and quickly snapped out of her silent musings. "A walk by the lake would be lovely at this time of night, don't you think?" Tracey asked, looking at Theodore intently.

"You're welcome." Little did Tracey know that Theodore was harboring the same fears she was. His heart was beating almost painfully against his chest, and he would only be surprised if she didn't hear it from where she stood. He was certainly in very foreign territory, but he was pleased to realize that the slight flutters in his stomach were not bad at all. They were warm, and... pleasant, and surely something he would wish to explore on a little more...

Theodore stood closer to Tracey than he usually did when they started to walk down the hall. The torches had already been put out that evening, leaving the corridor cloaked in complete darkness. "Yes, it would be quite lovely." he said, narrowing his eyes. "Can you see through the darkness?" Theo then asked faintly, his hand reaching out to touch her wrist to stop her, ceasing on his tracks as well.

Feeling the flush rise up into her cheeks again, Tracey smiled in the dim light of the hall. "Yes, it's not too bad.. I can see.." She said, her eyes adjusting to the darkness. Feeling Theodore's hand on her wrist, Tracey shyly took his hand and held it.

Terrified that her companion was going to brush her touch away, Tracey continued as if they weren't holding hands. "It's nice that the holidays are finally here.." She said simply, not knowing what else to say..

In truth, Theodore appreciated the warm feel of her hands in his. No, he wasn't going to pull away. Tightening his grip on her a fraction, the two then made their way down the dark hall, side by side. "I agree. No doubt we all deserve it what with all the work we've been given in the past months..." he continued casually. "I'm just glad to take a break from it all." They landed on the Main hall, where a few staudent still seemed to linger before curfew. once they reached the door, Theodore went a little before her to push the door open and held it for her to pass through. Together, they desceneded the steps and trudgd up the grounds. "Where to?" he asked, cold air brushing his cheeks.
