"I almost got you these for Christmas, I just figured that would look better on you than these,"

Holly returned his grin, her fingers trailing up toward her throat to touch the necklace.

"It's so beautiful Gid. It was the perfect present. I love it." Though she told him on christmas when she'd open the box, the blonde still repeated it. It wasn't that it was the most expensive gift she'd ever gotten. It was that it was from Gideon. And that made it special.

She lifted her tea cup to her lips after the question, frowning a bit at his answer.

"Huh? Oh...nothing. Just...Nothing at all. Just a bit exhausted. Can you believe how much work Evercrest and Flitwick have been piling on us? It's like they think we only have their class."

"I'm sorry I didn't know I was taking you away from homework Gid. We could have celebrated later." Holly put down the cup, concern touching her eyes.

"If you want we can study tonight for DADA. I've finished my essay on medicinal poisons for Herbology and the vanishing sickness for Madame Pomfry. I should probably review the last few chapters anyway after how fanatical Evercrest is being about his class this year." The blonde shook her head. She had always been bookish. The one that had her assignments done early, essays outlined. Since her first year.

"I don't remember he or Flintwick assigning this much homework for our OWLs, I can barely see straight." Holly continued to muse, completely oblivious to Gideon's plan or intentions.



So. Are we doing things MY way? Or the wrong way?
