Girls running around, trying to make sure they looked perfect, man how this day just irked Adriana. She had never been on to get worked up over a special ‘day’. Yes she was all about Valentine’s Day. She loved the fact that someone in their pasts was smart enough to devote a whole day to love, but did she understand why girls went all crazed (more like acting like a bunch of crazy rabid animals if you ask her). But would she argue, no. This Valentines day she was actually well, excited. Yes you heard right Adriana Madison Reed was actually excited about a day devoted for love for the first time in over five months.
There had to be a good reason, right? There was. See now Ms. Reed was no longer a single, misunderstood sixteen years old. She found someone who seriously related to her. Someone who knew what she went threw hell someone who knows exactly what she was still going threw. Marcus. Yes, Marcus Harding, the guy she has had a crush on for over a year, but was scared to say anything because one of her best friends liked the boy. But since that night that they kissed, and since she got the approval of Petra, Dri couldn’t be happier.
Pulling on the red strapless shirt she smiled as she overlooked her self. The dark jeans complimented by the bright red shirt, and the black wrap she was wearing over her arms. Her heels a shiny black and her hair just slightly tousled as it lay on her shoulders. No she didn’t look that perfect, hell her makeup wasn’t even barely done, and her hair looked as if she didn’t brush it, because she didn’t, and well she just didn’t feel like putting on twenty tons of makeup, it wasn’t like she was going to be judged, no. She was going to see someone who she actually cared for. Whom she was meeting by the black lake at the festival on the grounds.
Not wanting to wait any longer Dri walked out of the common room and down threw the grounds making her way past a few whistling guys, who did cause her to blush lightly, but hey she was only human. Only to appear in front of the tree placed by the black lake were she would wait for her night to truly begin.

So it was Valentine's Day, a day devoted especially to love, something Marcus hadn't been familiar with for the past ten years of his life. The last bit of love that he knew died of with his mother, and his father had made him turn his insides into the cold marble it was today. He hated it, hated the day, hated himself, and hated his father. But this day was different. This day, he was actually sharing it with someone he had found out to be quite like him, someone who understood him, and would trust him...or so he hoped.
He kinda dazed around in the bedroom, the other guys already long gone to the carnival and dance that was suppose to be set up by the black lake. What was he going to really wear today? There was the suit his Dad had left in his care in the chest by his foot board, but anyone who knew Marcus was sure to figure that he wasn't the dressy type. He pulled his trunk over and started to shuffle through it, pulling out garbled up pairs of socks, and different band t-shirts. Then there it was at the bottom, the black pants and coat that his Dad had left him. He grabbed it, along with one of his plain dress shirts and black tie, and headed for the grounds.
Stepping outside of the doors to the grounds, he was already dressed. Heads were starting to turn as he unbuttoned the buttons on the coat, letting it hang freely around his waist, his hands in the pockets. Many girls blinked,and a few of their jaws dropped. Guys kinda chuckled and gave him a nod of approval as Marcus started to make his way towards the lake. Feeling out of place at this point, he ran a hand through his jet black hair, making it just as messy as it always had been. He doubled check his pockets for his wand, finding it secured in his right hand pocket as usual. His fingertips played with it gently, but rather nervously as he approached the tree where she told him they would meet.
Passing past a few couples he finally saw her. Red strapless shirt, hair down, and dark jeans. Adriana Reed, the girl who knew so much about him, yet still so very little. Would he really do this to her? Let her in so deep that she would see the darker side of him? He bit his lip nervously and continued to walk up behind her. He reached the tree and leaned up against it, crossing his feet slightly, both hands still in his pockets. "Hey there" He said with a slight chuckle.

Standing there with her face towards the frozen water only one thing was on Adriana Reed’s mind. Was he going to show? She wasn’t sure, but she could only hope. See in the past, well more like lately, every time she made plans with any guy (that didn’t involve her loosing clothes) they all ended up being no shows. Which really started messing with her confidence and self esteem, but tonight she could only tell herself that he was her boyfriend, so he would show. Marcus always showed, for her at least. Yeah it might just be him coming to help her with some homework, or just asking to meet up in the common room to chat about her mother, he always showed when she needed him.
So with a smile on her red lips, the same shade of her shirt, she crossed her arms starring out at the lake, until she heard someone come up behind her and lean against the tree, speaking. The voice was all so familiar. With a bright smile she turned around wrapping her arms around the boy. “You showed!” She said happily as she pulled back kissing him on the lips for a brief moment before pulling away noticing what he was wearing.
What Adriana saw shocked her. He was dressed up, since when did he dress up. That really started questions in her mind, but she wasn’t going to complain. He looked nice…Hell he looked hot when he dressed up. So with a smile she ran her fingers threw his hair messing it up slightly as she always did when they saw each other. “You look good Marcus. I think this is the first time I ever have seen you in something other than your usual attire.” She complimented pulling away from him completely crossing her arms slightly as she just gave him a bright smile.
Her day could already not get better. Marcus made this for her just by showing up. See Marcus was different to her; well he was different than the other guys in her eyes. He understood her. He knew her, in a way at least. He didn’t know everything in her past, just as she knew she didn’t know everything about him. And Adria wouldn’t push to know all those things. She had this theory that if he wanted to he would tell her in time, and she would just wait for that do. So right now it was just a day to enjoy being here, with him… That was all she could as for.

It seemed like it took a few moments for the girl to answer him, but could he really blame her? She had told him about how guys would stand her up, and now thinking about the past, he saw that it drove him nuts. How could any guy do that to her? He thought the words beautiful, but they held no meaning to her true ideal. it was something much greater than words could describe.
Adriana turned around and threw her arms around Marcus, and he could help but smile a little bit. He was starting to soften up a bit, though not very much. Part of him wanted to just let go of his past, but part of him also told him to hold on a cherish its lessons, so he played it cool by staying in the middle. He wrapped one arm around her, returning the hug/tackle gesture, and chuckled. "Of course I did!" He said, his Liverpool accent now hanging out fully in his voice. He had given up trying to hide it all now, and noticed it actually charmed a few people. "Why wouldn't I?"
He felt her red lips press to his and then she pulled away and noticed the slightly expression of shock on her face. He looked down at his clothes and chuckled knowing exactly what she was thinking. "Thanks. It's my father's if you can believe it." His eyes kinda glazed over for a bit as he had a mini flashback of the night in Hogsmeade, and his father's death. He took a sharp breath, though covering it up as a cough.
As she pulled all the way away, he took a few steps forward, throwing his arm around her shoulders and turning her as he started to walk with her. "So what shall we do first?"

How could her day really get any better? Here she was standing in the arms of her boyfriend, the first guy who truly did get her, well he got what he knew about her, and it was amazing. Planting another soft kiss on his lips she listened to him talk with a bright smile on her face. “Hmm, I don’t know why you wouldn’t show up Marcus. I think I just have a tendency to believe all guys don’t want to show up on dates with me. But then again you are different than any other guy I have ever met.” She stated with a bright smile as she pulled away looking him over for a second time.
Adriana could truly say that Marcus Harding looked very good when he dressed up, and hearing that it was his fathers made her wonder what made him wear it. Adria had always believed that he despised his father, well in the way that she didn’t like her mother. But for him to be wearing it here today made her think. With a smile she let him place his arm around her shoulder as they began to walk. “Well you look amazing in your father’s tux…what made you wear it?” She asked out of pure curiosity as they continued to walk.
Tonight was going to be amazing, she could already tell it. Everything was going to work out somewhat right for the first time in forever. With a smile, that seemed to not want to leave her lips she leaned against his side as she thought about what their first event of the night should be. “Well I have two suggestions. The first is that we go ice-skating; the second…Is well I have always wanted to ride on a faris wheel, and I never have. Because I have a horrible fear of heights, but something tells me that if you were with me I could actually manage to remain on the Farris wheel the whole time. But Marcus I am going to let you decide what you want to do first.” Adria said with a bright smile.
It was true, every since she was little, when her brother tried to make her ride the Farris wheel, she would freak out and have to be apperated down to the bottom, but something tonight told her that with him she might actually stand chance of actually staying on the tall muggle carnival ride the whole time.

They started to walk and he could tell by the well placed smile on Adriana's lips that she was truly happy. In fact, this was the happiest he had ever seen her in a long time, and with that thought he felt a sense of peace come over him. It vanished though as she laid down a question about why he was wearing his father's suit. " To tell you the truth, I don't know." He said, his mind now flashing back and forth from the present to the past.
They continued to walk side by side, almost as if in unison. His mind finally locked itself into the present as he kept telling himself not to ruin this day for the both of them. Now she was talking about her suggestions for events of the evening. The first was ice skating, something that Marcus loathed, not because of the sport, but because he couldn't do it. The second was the almighty Ferris Wheel, and he chuckled a little bit at her fear. "Just for that, we ware riding the Wheel first." He said chuckling, pulling her over with him into the line fore the ride.

This truthfully was the happiest the young girl had been in what seemed like forever. For the first time things seemed to be going right for her, and some of it did have to do with Marcus. Yes her life was hell, and she still on occasion had to go home to her mother who would only remind her how weak the young girl really was, but now when she did come back to school she had Marcus to look forward to. He understood what she was still going threw, but he had already dealt with his problem by getting rid of Griffon, and his father, while Adriana was still taking the cowardly approach and just falling into her mother’s abuse at the age of sixteen. So with a brief smile she just nodded at his statement not wanting their night to linger on his past of his father.
It did take a moment for her thoughts of her own past to leave her mind, but she covered them up with that smile that wouldn’t leave her lips. She just smiled up at the boy as he led her over to the line. Ok so he was about to make her face her fear of riding the Ferris wheel, she should have known not to mention it. But turning around as they stood in the line waiting for it to stop were they could load onto the carts she leaned up against his chest smiling at him yet again. “Ok, I will ride it, but if I get scared you have to promise me that you will protect me from the all so terrifying heights of the Ferris wheel of doom.” She stated with a slight tease and sarcastic tone in her voice as she kissed his cheek before taking his hand and pulling him into the two person cart letting the operator lower the bar over their laps, before the machine started to move and take them up into the air. Adria already gripping onto Marcus’s side, not daring look down.

Marcus chuckled as she leaned into his chest, making him promise to protect her from the so-called 'Ferris Wheel of Doom.' He gave a nod as he said "Don't worry.", and he now felt her pull him into the little two person cart.
The operator lowered the bar, and she instantaneously clung onto his side. He placed his arm around her, pulling her close and sealing the deal with a little kiss upon the head. "Don't worry, you won't fall." He whispered gently, something that he found quite shocking to himself. He was never this soft, yet she brought it all out in him, and he was starting to love it.
The metal wheel began to move and his stomach dropped gently. Not in the bad way, but the kind you get when you first ride a broom. He gazed around with his green eyes as if they were just coming to life, and he smiled a bit. The sky moved gently along with the cart, giving a strange sense of vertigo and the people below were now beginning to shrink down a bit. He nudged her gently and wrapped his arm a bit tighter. "You should really look now." He spoke, his eyes looking around at the change in scene from green grass to darkening blue sky.

Adriana would defiantly tell anyone that her fear of heights was something that kept her from doing a lot of things. Never riding a broom, never riding muggle roller coaster, never doing anything like that. She just didn't see the need in it. Adria believed if God wanted her to fly he would have given her wings, he didn't so therefore she didn't go up high. Somehow though here she was, on a ferris wheel with her boyfriend. Well more like on a Farris wheel clinging to her boyfriends side, keeping her eyes up on his face were she wouldn't' have to see how high they were. Even if he did say they wouldn't fall, well she wouldn't fall, she wasn't about to take any chances. "I know you wouldn't let me fall Marcus, but I don't want to take any chances." Her voice was also soft, but more like soft because she was scared of being so high.
Adria had noticed that lately, since Marcus and herself started dating that some things with him had actually changed, did she ask him to change, no. She would never ask him to become someone else, but he just seemed to soften up, to her at least. which did make her smile, even if it was corny to smile at little things like that. it showed her he cared, even though she knew he did. It showed her he was happy, again even though he told her he was because well she had a bad habit of asking him if he was happy, why Adria doesn't really know, maybe it has to do with the fact of guys always seeming to break her heart, who knows...but just every little thing about him just made her happy and smile, corny yes, but lately Adriana reed couldn't' care less.
As she sat there holding onto him, well keeping one of her hands intertwined with his, and her arm gripping slightly onto his she listened as he told her she should look. Feeling his arm tighten around her she couldn't help but feel a bit more safe. With a slightly scared look on her face she looked from his face out slightly. Time her eyes saw how far up they were, she felt her stomach drop, and her her head become slightly dizzy. did she show this no. Adria just closed her eyes and smiled slightly letting herself recollect before reopening them to look out upon the high ground. Her grip slightly tightening to Marcus, and her hand keeping intertwined with his... it was beautiful though, in a way. How the sky went from the sunset near the ground, to the dark already starting to show stars at the top. She couldn't help but smile. "wow.... This is... not that bad."

Sure there were things that Marcus feared. One of those happened to still be his father, even though he was long gone now. It wasn't fear of the man himself, since he was dead and couldn't do any harm, but mainly of the past and the things his Father had caused to happen, like the beatings and the passing of his mother. The blame for his mother didn't lay all on his father, it also rested a bit on Griffon, though he was gone now as well and as he sat on the revolving wheel, he wondered why in the first place he was thinking about these things. Maybe he still needed some sort of closure. His eyes gave a quick flicker down to the girl in his arms, her own eyes resting softly upon his face and he smiled, knowing that she was the answer to most of his troubles.
Yes Marcus was changing, though not fully (and not for everyone). He was starting to soften up to Adriana, not being so cold and callous to her like he was with his other friends. This was mostly due to the fact that they shared so much in common. They both had a parent taken away from them when they were young, and the parents that survived chose to beat them instead of love them to their fullest ability. Then there was other little corny things like the bit of languages they had learned, and the places they had stayed through out the years.
Marcus' attention returned to the girl as she spoke softly, still clinging to him in the seemingly slow moments on the wheel. It felt like time was moving at a slower pace, the wheel revolving slowly as its metal cracks cracked a bit to help the carts up and over the arch that it contained, and now it was their turn to move over the arch. The cart slowed even more as they reached the top and then stopped once they were in the dead middle. The cart shook a bit, though nothing crazy like. He chuckled as he watched Adriana open her eyes and look around at the place. "See! Told you you'd be fine." He grinned softly and kissed the top of her forehead, rubbing her back a bit. "You can now say you have rode the Ferris wheel fully without freaking out." He nudged her playfully and grinned a bit more.

There were hundreds of things that Adriana has done wrong in her lifetime. Dating Tyberius, letting her mother beat her for years, becoming a sorta kinda slut, and well there was now one thing in Adriana Reeds life that she didn't want to screw up. One thing that she couldn't stand to loose, defiantly by her stupidity of screwing it up like she did so many times before in her past. That thing, more like that person was Marcus. He was the one guy, one relationships she wanted to do right. He was the one guy who seemed to get her, get what she needed, what she has been threw, and well just get her as a person. Marcus was going to help her, well is helping her get over the years of abuse she has endured...he was going to be the escape she has needed for so many years now, and she has assumed he would be that person for a while now...Every since she learned of how much they had in common.
Yes it might sound a little weird that she was thinking all of this, but it was true. Hell she hadn't even slept with him yet, which was actually kinda a big thin to her at least, not the not sleeping with him, but the fact that she is actually waiting. Waiting for the right time, she wanted for once in her life to be special. to be something more than just one night. But then again there was another reason. The reason being that well in her past every time she did give a guy what they seemed to want, they ended up leaving... Leaving her there alone, again. And Adria wanted this to be different. be different than all her previous relationships. So with a smile on her face she just studied the features of his face as she felt the Ferris wheel come to a stop on the peak of the ride. Jerking slightly, making her grip onto her boyfriend burying her face in his arm slightly until the cart stopped shaking, and she felt it was OK to look back up, only to hear him speak.
"I guess I can truthfully say I rode this thing, but I doubt I will be doing it again anytime soon."the girl said with a bright smile as she scooted her whole body slightly closer to the man leaning up and kissing him very lightly on the lips. "Thanks for getting me up here, but I preferred it when it was moving...not stopped up here on the highest damn part." She laughed at this taking his hand and tracing a heart on the top of it as she starred down at it just wondering how this day could even get any better than it already was.

Marcus wasn't a Saint, but he wasn't the Devil's Advocate either. He was caught in the limbo between them both, always being jerked and pulled from one side to the other. That was the life he was born into as soon as Griffon had slaughtered his mother in the living room floor, and his father first whacked him across the head with a broom. He was constantly falling in and out of grace, working for both sides, and against all sides at once. This was how his life worked, and he fell into the loop of it all, adjusting slowly to each turning cog in the inner machine. But something disturbed this loop.
It was Adriana that had done so. For the first time in his messed up life he didn't have to worry about who was walking behind him at that moment, or where the nearest exits where. He didn't have to constantly think about spells, or keep his eye open for the slightest movement of muscle. He was free. Free from it all, and falling into the arms of Love, something he hadn't known, nor felt, since he was 5 years old. He loved it, he loved her, and he could see why she was always making sure she wasn't messing up. They had something special here, something that was sure to last.
Once the cart had stopped shaking, he watched as the girl looked up for the first time on the whole ride. He voice rang out sweetly and he smiled a bit, chuckling a bit lightly. At this point she scooted closer, leaning up and planting a soft kiss on his lips. He shivered a bit for the first time the whole night, the kiss sinking in and warming the very existence of his so-called heart. She took his hand, thanking him for getting her up on the ride. His muscles relaxed a bit as she traced the heart shaped pattern into his hand with the tip of her finger, her eyes looking down at it, but his own stayed glued to her. He kissed the top of her head lightly like he always did, and smile. "No problem, M'dear." His hand opened up a bit, taking his fingers and lacing them through hers, holding her tiny hand in his.
