"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Simply walk beside me and be my friend."

•••••

Aurore laughed softly, perhaps the way she asked the question seemed a it apprehensive like she misunderstood. Before she could correct herself however, Emilie spilled what she meant anyway. With a sigh of relief, she was pleased that she stood out for a more positive reason than she initially assumed. She had a problem with insecurity sometimes, feeling as if those around her were bothered by her presence. "Happy to hear it. Maybe that is why I felt like someone was looking at me in class." she said, teasing the girl. Of course she had no idea how Emilie had once felt, but it seemed that for one reason or another she had taken special notice of Aurore.

"A wise course of action." she replied, shaking her head. She found Emilie to be hilarious, it was like finding a needle in a haystack sometimes when you found someone you got on with. It seemed today she had such luck which brought a warm grin to her face. "Well at least you are not doing it on purpose." she said, chuckling. Though she was in complete agreement with the need for a name tag that said who was taken or single. Often she found that seemed to chase after the ones who were taken as well and had trouble finding the sort of person she was after amongst the ego's.

"I can understand that. I have witnessed it for myself, though I do not believe anyone was aware of my own heritage. I do not tolerate it now myself, perhaps I should start some sort of awareness club." she said, laughing. She didn't try to hide it either, but she was friendly and beautiful so they left her alone for the most part. She was more than pleased though with Em's playful remark about taking her up on her offer. She didn't want to seem like she was amongst the other swollen heads here in school but she was good with magic. There was a reason she was a Ravenclaw, afterall.

Raising a brow at Emilie, she seemed very curious about what she wanted in return. Smiling she was all to excited to simply agree, nodding her head. "You have a deal. I promise that I will not freak out." she said, smiling. She loved secrets, even she was not above a love for gossip or whatever Em had to say despite her lack of interest in spreading it about.

Emilie didn't know what she had just said sounded like to the girl, but her subconscious was currently yelling at her telling her she had all but admitted to having feeling for the girl in the past, she found it hard to hear what the girl was saying "maybe a few times that was me, but can you really blame me? everyone else would watch you in class too" she shrugs she had no shame in admitting it after all she was only going to trip up at some other point and admit she had had a crush on her.

"trust me I would never do it on purpose. well only if they were extra cute or I had a huge crush on them" she shrugs even then she would draw a line at what she would do but she sure as hell would try and persuade them to be with her other their girl or guy. "on the subject of dating are you seeing anyone at the moment?" she sounded casual as she asked the girl, she hoped she would say no so she could ask her out on a date but if she said yes well Emilie didn't know how she would act if she said yes.

Emilie tended to ignore people now, she had got use to people taunting her over her blood status, but every now and then it would annoy her and she would snap which normally resulted in a few broken bones on their part, she wouldn't accept some pig headed pure blooded brat calling her scum when their family was most likely interbred to keep it that way. "well I guess you were one of the lucky ones" she smiled a little "it's hard to keep it under wraps that you dad is a squib though and when that gets out all hell is bound to break out, and well I didn't know about magic growing up so I started school like a kid in a candy shop rather than a witch going to school"

"in all honesty I had a thing for you back in school and well if you would let me take you out for dinner one night I'l call that payment enough for the ipod" she smiles a little a blush spreading across her cheeks as she looks down at the ground.

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Simply walk beside me and be my friend."

•••••

There was an amused smirk on Aurore's face as Emilie basically admitted being the one who was checking her out. In fact she was pleased to hear as it made it a bit better to know where she stood. She was an attractive woman that was for sure, but Aurore didn't want to be rejected if she made an advance further down the line. Now she had no real fear of that since she knew that she had a chance with her. "So it was you. I thought I saw you look away a few times but then again I have a rabid imagination." she said laughing at herself. Now this was going to get a whole lot more interesting, she could definitely feel it.

Shaking her head at Emilie, she could not blame her entirely. The heart wanted what the heart wanted and nothing could stand in it's way. "Good to know you're not a home wrecker." she said with a giggle. This conversation was suddenly moving very quickly, as the next question out of Emilie's mouth almost made Aurore's grin not even fit on her face. Was she seeing someone? She paused to consider how to respond, though the pause was really only a slightly cruel tease. "Am I seeing anyone? No, not at the moment. I did not have time last year and this year no one has asked." she said, smirking. She knew where this was heading and she had a feeling she was going to like it.

Aurore nodded as Emilie explained her parental situation as well as what it was like for her growing up. She couldn't truly say she knew what it was like but she could imagine how alone she must have felt. Reaching out to her, Rori placed a hand on her shoulder as she took a few steps closer to the girl. "Yeah well I wouldn't let it get to you too much. You should never be ashamed of who you are. You are just as good as any one of them." she said with a smile. God she sounded like some sort of self help book, which made her laugh inwardly. "If you ever feel the need to vent, I'm always listening." she offered.

And there it finally was, the secret that she had been trying to get off her chest. With it finally out in the open Aurore was pleased. How could she say no to a question like that? The girl was gorgeous, funny, and kind. That was the sort of person she looked for, though the last two really mattered more so than what she looked like. "You have yourself a deal." she said, grinning from ear to ear. "Honestly you are gorgeous, how can I say no?" she added, complimenting the already blushing girl. She had a habit of just saying whatever she thought.

"Did you have something in mind or did you just want to meet up and figure out then?" she asked.

[emilie bellamy]

Emilie's face turns a deep shade of crimson as she saw the smirk on the other girls face, she had outed herself out for checking Rori out back at school, and even though she had no shame at the time when she would watch her now it did seem quite creepy that she would sit in class and stare at a girl that barely even knew her name. she had never had the guts to go up to her and try and get close to her for fear of rejection. she always feared being rejected because of her parents rejecting her. "erm yeah I would watch you now and then. you were interesting to watch" wow she was starting to sound like more of a creep by the minute

"oh no I'm not a home wrecker. I see a ring I get out of there, although I have had a few that have took their rings off and tried it on with me" she shakes her head, she had never been amused by a man that would do that, your either married full time, not when you want to be or you don't get fucking married. it was simple as that. "they would slip up somewhere and find my drink in their face" she laughs a little .

waiting for a reply from the girl was like waiting for rain in a drought she felt like she had been stood there for hours before the replied, letting her know that she was single, Emilie's heart skipped a beat as hope grew in her. maybe she did have a chance with this girl, she was sure she would be seeing someone by now, she was down right gorgeous and it was surprising no one had snatched her up by now. but that was what Emilie now planned on doing. she planned on making Aurore hers and only hers.

watching her move closer Emilie's heart raced. she knew it would be so easy to lean forward and kiss the girl but she didn't want to scare her off so soon, she found herself looking at the other girls lips as she spoke, telling her she should never be ashamed of who she is. her smile grew a little "I know I shouldn't be ashamed and to be honest I'm fine with who I am till so pure blooded bastard makes it their job to make me feel crap about myself." she shrugs a little

Taking a deep Breath Emilie's smile fell for a moment as she took in the fact the girl had just agreed to go on a date with her. once her brain had processed it she found her smile placed firmly back on her face "well I'm glad you said yes to me, I would have had to run of from shame if you had said no" she laughs a little as she moves her hands to rest on the other girls waist "you think I'm gorgeous?" she hadn't expected that. she thought the girl was just saying yes out of pity. maybe not.

moving closer to the girl her smile widens to its limit, she couldn't help but smile with her around "yeah I have something in mind, simple, cute and romantic" she teases a little. she didn't want to give too much away but she knew any girl would love what she was planning for their date. "I think you will like it. I know I would enjoy it if I was surprised with it" she looks up into the girls eyes, and without even thinking about it her lips find their way to the other girls. well so long to not scaring the girl off.

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Simply walk beside me and be my friend."

•••••

Most people would have found that statement a bit off putting, yet Aurore seemed to be grinning all the same. It took a lot of courage to admit what she just did, that was another attractive feature. People who showed courage when they were nervous, frightened, or in a stressful situation. Aurore was glad that she found the confidence when she needed it or else this might have been a repeat of Beauxbatons. She wasn't shy by any means but she was obviously most times to the fact that she was being flirted with. It took very obvious gestures to get the message through her at times.

"Well you are definitely the first person to ever put it like that." she said, laughing loudly.

The wizarding world was probably a step behind the muggle world when it came to the issue of ones blood. All she wanted was for everyone to be able to feel like they belonged somewhere, perhaps that was too much to ask? It was saddening to hear people feel like they were subpar because of their parents or to see people with fumbling confidence like the boy she encountered the other day. Then again that was why she filled the role of the energetic and optimistic one so easily, she hated those things so much she tried to inspire acceptance and confidence in all of her friends. "As cliche as it is at this point, ignore them. Eventually they will grow bored of taunting you." she said, knowing that sometimes nothing short of a hex sorted that mess out.

The talk of blood was quickly replaced by talk of her fear of rejection. There was a smile on Emilie's face once more that seemed to show that Aurore had made her day. When her hands moved to Aurore's waist, the girl blinked a few times but seemed to not mind. She was never one to shy away from anothers touch nor did she find it inappropriate at all. Being open and true to your feelings was something she accepted, obviously Emilie was acting on her own and so would Aurore. "At this rate there might be nothing left for the da-" she started to speak but was cut off.

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt Emilie's lips pressed against her own. Instead of pulling away from her, she stepped into the girls kiss, returning it. It was not out of pity that she said yes but out of genuine interest in the way the girl carried herself. Her body moved right up against Em's as she wrapped her arms around her, it'd had been quite some time since she had experianced the feelings that filled her up now. It was in this moment she felt like an idiot for not having noticed sooner, perhaps then Beauxbatons might have been quite a bit more fun than it had been. Pulling away for only a moment, she laughed softly under her breath.

"Is there something more romantic and cute than a spontaneous kiss? If there is I definitely cannot think of it." she asked, teasing her. Aurore stared into her eyes, she had very beautiful eyes and it was incredibly difficult not to get lost in them. She was a sucker for a girl with pretty eyes and smile. "You've wanted to do that for quite some time, haven't you?" she asked.

[emilie bellamy]

Okay so Emilie was slowly digging herself a deeper hole, if she kept this up she was going to end up running away from embarrassment, she was staring to sound like a more of a creep than she had thought she was. watching someone you had hardly spoke to sort of meant you were crazy/weird/mental or all three at once. or in love but she couldn't really say she was in love. could she? sure she had had a crush on the girl but could she say she was in love with her? no? yes? maybe? she had no idea. "yeah that most have sounded so crazy to you cause I know it did for me" she shakes her head and laughs a little at herself.

Her smile grew, Aurore really knew how to make her feel better, and what made her feel even better was the fact that she had no idea how much everything she had said so far had only added to this being the best day of her life. everything was going perfect for her and she could tell it was all just going to get better from now on. "I've grown to ignore them now. most of the time I don't hear what they have said. but you know there is always that time when you can't help but here that nasty stuff they say" she shrugs not really caring most of them found themselves being hexed if they taunted her so it wouldn't happen again.

her eyes fluttered shut as she felt the other girl return the kiss, her hands slipped round to her back so she could hold her close to her. she didn't want to let go of her. a small pouts forms on her lips as she pulls away. "romantic. picnic. candle. lit. under. stars" her speech was broken as she planted softly butterfly kisses down the girls jaw and neck.

pulling away long enough to look at the girl in her eyes she shrugs "yeah I have, since the moment I laid eyes on you" her smile grows. she had no idea how it was going to go with the two but no matter how it ended up being like she was going to enjoy the time she had with her.

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Simply walk beside me and be my friend."

•••••

Out of everything that was happening right now, the fact that Emilie seemed worried about what she said made Rori laugh. She was cute for sure, especially the way she tried to cover her own statement and make it seem less weird. Sometimes you just couldn't help it when you wanted something or someone. Was the muggle saying not 'keep your eyes on the prize'? She tried her best to recall but for some reason it slipped her mind in the moment. All that mattered now was that the day had gotten marginally better for the both of them as they rested here in each others arms. Rori could not have hoped for a more interesting afternoon, perhaps what was to come would top that entirely.

Sighing softly, Aurore held tightly to her as if the moment she let go she might slip away. It was silly for sure as she had just found ths new excitement. There was a fluttering feeling in the pit of her stomach as she tried to take in everything about Em. Her eyes, the shape of her lips, her scent. This was a sensation that she had not felt in quite some time. While it may not have been love yet, it sure made her feel like she could love Emilie. Maybe it was? How did one determine whether or not they loved someone or when it was appropriate to? Did it matter? Right now in this moment she loved the way she was held, loved the gentle kisses trailing down her jawline and her neck.

There was a soft pur like moan that escaped Aurore's lips as Emilie continued to kiss her. Her mind was lost in the moment but she was listening. This one seemed to have everything planned out and she was not wrong, it was a very romantic first date indeed. Turning her head a bit and letting her fingers run through Em's hair, Rori would place her hand gently on the back of the girls head, her other arm resting around her neck. Where there was a grin before there now sat another look that suggested that she was definitely turned on by Emilie's advances.

"You say the sweetest things. How is it that you are not already taken?" she asked, smiling at Emilie. She definitely did know how to make a girls heart skip a beat, something she had longed to feel for quite some time. Pulling away a bit, Aurore took Em's hands in her own and held them in front of her, a loving gaze in her eyes as she looked at the other girl. "From the way you're kissing me it seems like you may not be able to save any of that fire for the date." she teased, sticking out her tongue playfully.

"Perhaps we should just do it tonight." she said in an alluring way accented by her french heritage and accent. She giggled a bit, only after she said it did she realize that it sounded a bit dirty.

[emilie bellamy]

Emilie knew nothing could remove the smile from her face, well nothing except if Rori decided to now push her away, that was the only thing that could possible hurt her in that moment. all the feelings she had for her in the past were now coming back and well she was back to being a love struck fool and she wouldn't change it for the world. burying her face into the other girls neck she tightened her hold around the girl.

she lifted her head to look at the girl and gave her a shy smile, she was being quite out there and she wasn't sure how she felt about it, something about the expression on her face told Emilie that Aurore was enjoying it which made her feel a little more at ease and even more daring. running circles on the girls back with her fingers she kissed the girls lips once more before pulling away a little.

"how am I not taking? no one ever reached my expectations" she shrugs "I'm picky about the people I date and well to be honest I put them up against you, kind of a high bar to jump over in my eyes" she shrugs and looks down the present blush becoming darker. she glanced up at her. "trust me there will be plenty for our date. I promise you that. nothing will stop me from wanting to hold and kiss you" she laughs a little at the girls childishness.

Emilie was a little taken back by what she had said and shook her head knowing it hadn't meant what it had sounded like "do what exactly?" she teases her.

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Simply walk beside me and be my friend."

•••••

While things seemed to blossom quickly, it was not so strange to Rori as she prefered to live her life fast and without regret. Emilie seemed like a lovely woman beneath all of the bravado she put on to keep those who mocked her out. In the days to follow she hoped to get to know the woman beneath the 'mask' so to speak. In this moment her mind was thinking miles ahead of their current situation and trying to forsee what could happen. However Rori knew better than to let her mind win out over her feelings. Everything inside told her that she had to explore this and she would never forgive herself if she did not give it a go. There was that nagging feeling that told her that she could be happy with Em.

Even after all of the courageous acts that she had just performed it was amusing and adorable to see her expression. That shy smile that her lips curled into drew Rori's attention, all she wanted to do was kiss those lips once more. Before she could do so however it seemed that Emilie had silently acknowledged her longing and did it first. There was a burning warmth in her cheeks as they become flushed. "You have the most attractive expressions, you know?" she asked as she laughed.

Em's words surprised her, though perhaps they should not have. From what she could gather the girl had this crush for quite some time. It seemed that the feelings did not vanish entirely even when she could no longer see Rori after graduation from Beauxbatons. Was she really such a tough act to follow? She could not believe such a thing but then again she had often been wrong about herself. "Picky? What exactly do you look for?" she asked as her voice mirrored her curiousity. Squeezing the girls hands genty, Rori seemed content to say nothing for now but that did not last too long as she had so many more questions.

"Good. Now that you have started you cannot simply stop. I could get used to this." she said in her most flirtatious tone, low and breathy. One could easily get the wrong impression from the way she spoke but she loved to take people down that path as a tease sometimes. "Mm, what do you think..?" she asked, leaving it for a moment like that. Gently she placed her hand under Emilies chin and guided it to her lips once more. "..the date of course. Unless you intend to surprise me at a later date." she said.

[emilie bellamy]

//sorry about the long wait :/

Emilie had never thought that she would see this situation, back at school she had tried to keep herself to herself so had never really gotten to know Rori more than what she heard while she would talk, but despite this Emilie did hold some feeling for the girl that she could never really explain to herself till she had accepted herself for who she was. she had surprised herself by being so open about how she felt for the other girl, but the fact she wasn't pushing her away made Emilie want to just dance about which would most likely ruining any rebel rep she had, so would any of the things she had said to Rori. 

"what do you mean I have attractive expressions? I didn't know expressions could be attractive" Emilie could help but let a smirk form on her lips as she teased the girl, but at the same time she was curious about what she meant by attractive expressions 

Emilie shrugged not really sure of how to answer the question. what have I got myself into, she thought to herself while trying to think how she could answer that question "well your different from most people. I tend to look for people that don't follow the norm. like I could never date a bleached blonde barbie" she wasn't sure Rori would understand the barbie refrence "that think being plastic is fantastic, your down to earth which is hard to find in a girl" she laughed a little from being nervous. 

"no I can't stop and I will never stop" Emilie left a light kiss on the girls cheek a smile firmly placed on her own lips she could get used to this as well. Emilie could feel that Rori was teasing her, leaning forward she whispered in the other girls ear "it's cruel to tease, but if your insisting on being this little minx, two can play at that game. I'll pick you up from your dorms at 7" she placed a kiss under her ear before pulling away and letting the girl go "see you later beautiful"
