OOC:

Ferris gazed at all of these pictures with equal interest, a smile growing on his face with each one. They were all just so funny and cute little children, mainly Vianna he couldn't help but think, though he had to admit that Vince and Victor actually could've been considered sweet (almost) once. He let out a final soft chuckle before he turned his brown eyes back to the girl at his side, scanning her features once more with an admiring smile. "I like these pictures," he admitted, his dimples coming into view.

Vianna examined the pictures with a faint smile on her face before turning to Ferris as he spoke, telling her that he liked the pictures. Her smile widened at this. "Good, I was worried I'd just be boring you to death," she said with a soft chuckle, her blue eyes watching the boy quietly for a moment before a voice snapped her out of her trance. Giuliana was downstairs, calling her over. Vianna blinked and when she finally registered the words, she began heading down the stairs, her hand still wrapped around Ferris's as she pulled the boy along with her.

"We're leaving now," said Giuliana with a faint smile as the other two came down. Standing in the foyer were the other guests as well, which were mostly other Vincenzi cousins and some old friends of the siblings. They were exchanging good byes, and Vianna had only had a chance to blink before Leonardo was suddenly by her side, giving her a gentle hug before then moving on to Ferris and giving him a bone-crushing one instead, along with a kiss on the cheek just to add on to the boy's horror.

Vianna's jaw dropped and Giuliana was quick to come over and drag her oldest brother away from the pair. "Quello è abbastanza, Leonardo," she told him disapprovingly before then giving Vianna a tight hug. "Vi vederò presto, Vianna," she told her before pulling away with a smile. She then proceeded to give Ferris one as well, though of course it was a lot less personal and shorter, she didn't want to scare the boy like Leonardo had already done.

"See you later, Vi," said Alessandro, giving his cousin a hug. "It was nice meeting you, Ferris," he added, holding out a hand to Ferris. And then the youngest of the siblings came over, giving Vianna a hug and a kiss on the cheek and then turning to Ferris and waving him farewell before running out the door, soon followed by the others.

Ferris followed Vianna downstairs, his bare feet padding against the smooth wood floors softly as he trailed behind her, his hand still intwined with her own. He listened as Giuliana announced that they were leaving and very suddenly Leonardo gave Vianna a small hug before giving him a rather large one and yet another kiss on the cheek. The boy tried his best to give a polite smile, "Goodby Leonardo," he said with a brief nod and a fairly awkward expression on his pale face though he attempted to hide it, not wanting to offend the boy. He returned the small hug Giuliana gave him, giving her a polite smile as well before he shook Alessandro's hand. "It was great to meet you too," he said with a nod and a more genuine smile, feeling as though Alessandro was someone that he could relate to; a guy in Vianna's family that wasn't watching him like a hawk or kissing him on the cheek.

Once everyone had left, Ferris turned to look at Vianna with a weak smile, "So...Did you ever hear what happened at the ministry?" he asked, just realizing he had never heard the story.

Vianna waved the others farewell as they walked out the door before turning to Ferris as he asked about what had gone on in the ministry. It was then she realized she had never heard anything about this either, and she shook her head in response. She opened her mouth, about to say something, when her parents suddenly walked into the scene, looking rather exhausted after this long day and ready to head to bed.

"Ah good, you're here," said Mr. Vincenzi, giving the small group of teens a small smile before turning rather serious. "Don't stay up too late, you're all to wake up bright and early domani. We're heading to il Ministero di magia, they want to hear the story from each person involved," he told them, replacing all the words he didn't know in English with Italian, his thick accent making it a little difficult to understand him. "Once that is over with, they will begin their search for the suspects, so get a good rest so you can be coherent and convincing tomorrow," he added, pausing for a moment to let the words sink in before smiling again. "Buona notte," he said, receiving some good night wishes in return from his kids before heading up the stairs. "Buona notte, amore," said Mrs. Vincenzi, giving a hug and a kiss on the cheek to each of her kids before then wishing the guests a good night as well. "You kids sleep well, and if you need anything just ring the little bell at your bedside tables. Costa will come to you immediately and assist you in any way she can," she said with a smile before giving a wave and disappearing up the stairs.

OOC: Off for twenty minutes!

Ferris watched as Vianna's father came into the scene before she could respond to him, explaining that they'd be going up to what he assumed was the Ministry of Magic (he could tell slightly just by listening) to give them the story from each person individually. The boy's eyebrows rose but he gave a nod, his brown eyes falling to the floor as he considered what it would be like to explain it to officials from the ministry. He hoped he wouldn't get nervous or anything...He hated when he did that. Once Mr. and Mrs. Vincenzi had gone upstairs, Ferris gave a weak smile to Vianna, "So much for a late night."

ooc: Ok!

Soon after Mr. and Mrs. Vincenzi had gone, Vince and Victor were walking up the stairs as well to head off to bed, feeling rather tired from not only the football match they'd just had but this whole day overall. Vianna watched them go and turned to Ferris with a sympathetic smile as he spoke. "I know..." she muttered. "But look at it this way - this is taking us one step closer to get rid of the kidnappers, to rescue Mr. and Mrs. Hall before it's too late," she said optimistically, a smile lighting up her features.

Ferris couldn't help but smile slightly as Vianna once more pointed out the bright side; that they'd be getting one step closer to getting rid of the kidnappers. "Yeah, I know, you're right Vi," he agreed with a small nod, taking her hands into his own gently as he faced her. "You're always right." He smiled, leaning forward to peck her lips gently with his own. It was then that something caught his eye out of the beach; the bonfire still going, much smaller than it was originally, but still there. "What do you say we go out to the fire for a few minutes?" the boy suggested with a warm smile, his brown eyes turning back to Vianna. "Unless, you're too tired..." he said, his smile fading, knowing that she needed her sleep.

Vianna couldn't help but chuckle softly as Ferris told her she was always right before awarding her with a peck kiss which she returned for the moment it last before he pulled away. She smiled at him, her gaze a bit dazed as he suggested they go out to the fire for a few minutes; unless she was too tired. Vianna gazed out the large windows and at the fire before turning back to Ferris. "Nah, I think I'll pass. See you later." And she walked away up the stairs.

Just kidding!
...Vianna gazed out the large windows and at the fire before turning back to Ferris, her smile widening to a grin. "Let's go!" she said, dragging the boy down the last step of the stairs before then very quietly and carefully pulling open the large double doors. She slithered through the small open space between the doors, dragging Ferris out with her before quickening her pace once they were outside, filled with that childlike enthusiasm that's so usual from her.

OOC: Nooooo!

Ferris grinned at Vianna's enthusiastic response, what he had hoped for, and followed her outside quietly, slipping between the doors. Once they were outside in the cool night air he felt much more relaxed, free even just to be outside. He let out a soft chuckle at Vianna's enthusiasm, keeping up with her as they practically ran to the fire, and once they were there he plopped down on the sand with a sigh of relief. The sand was cool like the air outside, feeling nice on his feet as he took the opportunity to lay down beside the fire. He looked up at the girl still standing, his dimples coming out of hiding as he beamed up at the sight of her. "Come sit with me," he requested, patting the space between him and the fire, though he was a few feet back from it, not wanting to get too close.

Vianna watched as Ferris plopped down on the sand with amused eyes before he then asked her to sit with him. She nodded her head and proceeded to sit beside him. "You comfortable there, Professor?" she asked with a smile before then laying down next to him, gazing up at the star-freckled sky with the smile glued to her face. She felt like it had been too long since she had last looked at the stars; and even longer since she had last looked at the stars with the sound of ocean waves in the background and sand beneath her. It was relaxing and she couldn't help but forget the kidnappers and all troubles in the world at that moment.

OOC: I'm off for now Dee! Byyyyeeeee!

Ferris smiled as Vianna joined him, giving a brief nod as she asked if he was comfortable, before watching as she laid down at his side and let her bright blue eyes go up to the star-studded sky. But the boy only seemed to want to look at Vianna at the moment, though he wasn't just staring at her face as he sometimes accidently did. With his arm around her waist, pulling her into him, he used his free hand to start tracing imaginary pictures on her arm, his brown eyes every once in a while coming up to scan her pretty face, but for the most part stayed on his gentle fingers. He rested his chin on her shoulder, every once in a while planting a warm kiss to her shoulder or her neck or sometimes her cheek, taking in the sounds of the waves as he felt himself calm.

ooc: Byeeeee, Rutherss!

Vianna examined the sky absentmindedly, unaware of Ferris's brown eyes watching her, and vaguely aware of his fingers tracing on her arm. She was distracted from her stargazing every now and then, though, as the boy's lips would unexpectedly come to meet her shoulder, neck, and cheeks, causing her to let out a couple giggles every now and then. But then she was quiet again for a few moments, merely looking up at the sky as her mind traveled back in time to all the different times the couple had laid down and examined the sky together. "I missed stargazing with you," she said suddenly, turning her head to face the boy beside her, who was a lot closer than she had expected to meet him. She smiled at the sight of him barely lit by the moonlight and the dying fire before leaning over the couple inches between their lips and placing her own on his. She pulled back a moment later, a smile lighting up her face. "I love you."

Ferris looked away from his tracing fingers as Vianna spoke, telling him that she missed stargazing with him. He looked up only to find her blue eyes mere inches from his own brown ones, and smiled slightly. "Me too," the boy murmured in return before he was distracted as her lips met his own. He returned the kiss for the moment it lasted, leaving his lips craving more of her when they broke apart. His smile quickly returned as Vianna told him she loved him, "I love you too, Vi," Ferris replied, his brown eyes searching her own for a moment before he gently pressed his lips to her own once more.

Vianna's smile widened as Ferris told her he loved her too, always happy to hear these words coming from the boy's mouth. But soon after, his lips were meeting hers again and she returned the kiss gently, with the smile still curving the corners of her lips. She couldn't help feeling like she hadn't kissed him in a while, though, with all her family around and all.

OOC: Ferris sig is up! Ahhh! He's just so cute!

Ferris was feeling the same way, as though they hadn't gotten a moment truly alone all day, even though they'd had plenty of time wandering around the town together. He still felt as if he never had a private moment with the girl, when they weren't doing anything, just laying beside one another. And it felt even longer since they'd last kissed. Just kissed for the sake of kissing one another. Brown eyes fluttered closed, the boy pulled her a little closer to himself, returning the kiss lovingly for a few sweet moments. He broke apart then, his brown eyes opening to see her pretty face just inches from his own and a warm smile fell onto his features.

ooc: Awwwwww, it's awesome! I love the caption!

Vianna's own blue eyes fluttered open as Ferris pulled away and like him, she found herself smiling warmly at the sight before her. "Why does it feel like it's been so long since we last kissed?" she said with a soft chuckle, rather amused by this before her gaze left his to look up at the dark sky. "It hasn't even been a whole day," she added, amused.

OOC: I like the caption but....... I already don't like all the frill I put around it. I'm just gonna put it in without all of that. Hmm....but should I keep the caption??

Ferris also turned his gaze up to the dark sky above them, listening as Vianna asked why it felt as though they hadn't kissed in forever; that it had been less than a day. "I dunno but it sure does," he agreed with a soft chuckle, resting his chin on her shoulder and letting his forehead rest on her temple, now staring at the edge of her t-shirt absentmindedly.

ooc: I think you should keep the caption, yeah.

Vianna laughed lightly as Ferris agreed that it did, indeed, feel like way too long since they had last kissed. She then turned quiet for a few moments, just looking up at the stars absentmindedly and listening to the sound of the ocean only a few feet away from them. "How're you feeling about tomorrow?" she asked suddenly. "Are you nervous? Excited?"

OOC: Ok, I was thinking that too!

Ferris listened as Vianna spoke, asking how he was feeling about the upcoming day. The boy frowned slightly, lifting up his head so he could look at her better as he thought. "I dunno, Vi," he admitted with a weak smile and a shrug. "I'm not exactly thrilled with going...I can't help but feel like they won't believe us. But...I dunno, it should help us get closer to getting rid of the kidnappers, so..." He let his brown eyes fall onto her blue ones with a small smile. "What about you?"

ooc:

Vianna turned her head and looked up at Ferris as he lifted his head from her shoulder, turning thoughtful for a moment before telling her he wasn't sure; that he couldn't help but feel like the ministry wouldn't believe them, but at the same time it was something that should help them get closer to getting rid of the kidnappers. She smiled and nodded her head slightly, understandingly, before he then asked how she felt about it all. "I'm kind of excited," she admitted, her smile widening. "I'm not looking forward to having a million questions asked and having to wait hours in the ministry, but I'm really excited to do something that will help get the kidnappers out of the picture once and for all," she replied.

Ferris felt the warm smile slowly grow on his pale features as he listened to Vianna speak, able to hear the soft optimism peaking through her words; something that he couldn't help but love about the girl. He watched her with near sparkling brown eyes for a good few seconds before he snapped out of it and looked away from her sheepishly. "Yeah, yeah, same here," he said with a weak chuckle, feeling rather embarrassed for having stared at her like that over just a few words she'd said. He couldn't help it though, she was just so cute when she was excited and happy about things.

Vianna looked away a bit sheepishly as well, feeling a bit flustered from being stared at like that. She was quiet for a few moments, looking up at the sky absentmindedly before speaking again, her voice quiet and gentle as there was no need to speak too loud. "When do you plan to write to your mum, Professor? Or get in touch with her somehow?" she asked him curiously. Surely having to witness her return to her own mother and father must have reminded him of his mother and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, wishing the boy could be with his family as well.

Ferris looked back over to Vianna as she spoke, asking when he was planning to contact his mother again. His face fell slightly though he was quick to cover it up with a small smile. "I dunno, Vi," he said with a shrug, his brown eyes wandernig to the dying fire. "I don't even know where she is," he murmured, and his pale face suddenly turned sad, his cover-up smile falling. He quickly covered it up once more, letting out a nervous chuckle, though he found himself with nothing to say. He'd tried his best not to think about his mum, he didn't know what to do about their current situation. As much as he wanted to see her....He didn't know if it was safe.

Vianna's forehead creased slightly at the sight of the boy beside her growing rather sad, smiling and chuckling though she knew well he meant none of that. "Aw, Professor..." She gave him a weak sympathetic smile, examining his brown eyes for a moment before adding, "This'll be over soon, you'll see, and then you can see your mum again... Actually, we should ask tomorrow. Ask the ministry if it'd be safe for you to try to get in touch with your mum again. Maybe she can come here, I don't know... but maybe you guys can get together again without having to wait for the kidnappers to be taken away."

Ferris listened as Vianna spoke comfortingly, assuring him that he'd be able to come in contact with his mother sooner rather than later; that they might even be able to ask the ministry about it tomorrow. He smiled slightly at this, a more genuine smile, and gave a shrug. "The main reason for moving her was to keep her safe. Because the kidnappers were close to England, remember?" he explained with a small sigh. "But...now that we're in Italy again...It might be safe to see her here than anywhere else...Don't you think?" he said, his eyes curious and a little hopeful though he wasn't sure if he was right.
