Going outside wasn’t something that Dominique did all the often now. Even though she was still allowed to go outside she hated that Anton was stuck inside all day. Well as long as it was sunny out or there was a chance that the sun might peak through the clouds. Sometimes she wondered if it bothered him? That he had to be careful now because something as simple as sunlight could hurt him. Yet Dom still had to show people that her life was somewhat normal. Anton didn’t want people to find out about his little ‘problem’ and Dom staying inside with him all day would probably cause some questions. Plus she still liked the outdoors even with all the mud now from the snow melting.

Walking down to Hogsmeade was something that Dominique used to do every weekend. It was something that a normal seventh year student would do. Get away from Hogwarts because all that was there was studying and books. So as Dominique walked down the streets of Hogsmeade she did her best to not accidently step in any puddles. That would not be good. But like mud could ruin the veela charm she had running threw her veins. Mud all over her couldn’t do that. While she was watching where she was stepping she also watched the people around her. There were many since there was that Valentine’s Day Carnival thing coming up soon. Plus Valentine’s Day in general was right around the corner. All the couples were looking for good things to wear.

Now as the Hufflepuff walked past the different shops she saw how much the shops were overdoing Valentine’s Day. Never before has Dom been alone on this day and wouldn’t be in the future but seeing all the decorations she thought it was a bit overdone. But then again she knew this must be tougher for people who didn’t have someone. And that was another reason why Dominique didn’t like this holiday all that much. It seemed that guys were desperate to have someone the veela charm just stuck out so much more. Making it all the more harder to get from place to place. There just always seemed to be a guy trying to grab her attention.

Seeing a group of guys up ahead she made sure she made it seem like she was checking the ground for puddles, Dom has been told from guys it was her eyes. So by looking at the ground she saw the person’s shoes before she saw them. And then by the time she looked up Dom already ran into the poor person’s chest. “I’m sorry.” She said quickly taking a step back and looking up to see who she ran into.

Lex wasn't big on staying in the castle when he could be outside and enjoying himself. The young man had grown tired of the walls that confined him within Hogwarts and had been desperately trying to find something to take his mind off of the tons of homework he was expected to do. There was very little chance he was actually ever going to do the work, but the teachers thought he had turned over a new leaf thanks to some manipulating on his part. He'd grown tired of the detentions and letters home to his parents. It was going to come crashing around him and he'd be in more trouble if they ever discovered he was paying a kid in his year for his essays, but he didn't care. He had free time on his hands and he planned to use it.

Today was going to be good, he told himself as he stepped out of the Hogsmeade shop he'd just been looking through. All of the decorations around the shops were a bit sickening, he'd never been a fan of Valentine's Day, purely because it was a waste of money and he'd never had a steady girlfriend. He slept around too much, not that he cared. Sure he would probably go to the dance that was organised at school, but that as only so that he could show his face at popular parties and so that his reputation remained in tact.

There was also a lot of single girls who went to that sort of things and Lex would keep them company. He smiled at the thought, passing a few people and walking. He suddenly noticed a girl bump into someone and apologise. The guy laughed at her and told her to watch where she was going. In a second, Lex was pushing the guy away. "She apologised." He said, not liking the boy's attitude. "Now piss off," He said daring him to reply. The boy disappeared down the street with his friends, shouting when they were a fair distance away.

"Fucking idiots," He mumbled, turning back and looking at the girl. She looked familiar. He smiled gently. "Don't I know you?" He asked. Lex might have been a ladies man, but he never treated people like dirt as the idiot had just done.
