Mused by Miranda's excuse for why she couldn't owl back, he raised his hand to stop her. You know, before she like got ahead of herself. "I'm sure... Next time though ... teach it to fly on a broom?" Dom offered jokingly. "Kidding, of course." But this was the Quidditch World Cup and they were both Quidditch players.
Noticing her surprise, of course she'd be as such; how could she ever expect something so grand? How could she ever expect/know that he'd been saving for ... some time ... for this event? "No. Not really," Dom said seriously, but then smiled. "Kidding again. OF COURSE, really. Think of it as your... Birthday present." Because it wasn't every day you turned fifteen. Not that he had to be so generous for her birthday present ... but he wanted to ...
With that, he followed her inside, almost regretting inviting her inside just yet because he'd just seen Copernicus and he kind of wanted to move the tent first. "I technically didn't do much, but thank you..." It was his mother and father's tent that he sort of ... borrowed for the week. His father was actually to be credited for most of the handiwork. That was when she had switched gears to celebrating as she handing him a butterbeer. Miranda and her butterbeer.
Taking it, he then paused as he thought of his friend. "Yes we should, but wait. Can we hold off for just a moment? I just saw Copernicus and ... well... we should move the tent closer to him and his group." Because being exclusive wasn't any fun, even if he did have a limited group of friends.
Miranda wasn't sure if the owl...story would make sense, but then she was stopped by the...hand.
He made a joke! She giggled, not because it was funny - well it sort of was - but because she hadn't heard him joke in a long time.
Not really? Miranda's smile faltered a little, but then narrowed her eyes at him with a smirk. She giggled again, and then just smiled up at him as he offered the tickets as a birthday present.
"Thankyou Dominic," she reached out a hand and gently squeezed his. It didn't really register what she had done until she let it go. Eh, she got a weird fluttery in her stomach.
What the...
But back to the tent! As if shaking her head clear of...stuff, the excitement was visible on her face and she was just about to open up the bottle of awesome butterbeer when Dominic interrupted the commencing of the festivities. Sort of. He wanted to move closer to...who? Who was Copernicus?
"Uh, yes, ofcourse." She nodded, not really bothered about having to move closer to some other people. But, how would they move? They weren't supposed to use magic. Ah, Dominic probably knew, he'd done this before. Right?
"So...you need help?" She had no idea how, but the ex-prefect could likely tell her. Walking back to her bag, she put the bottle back inside and put the bag back over her shoulder.
