| | Sleigh Rides 
It’s only a short walk from the marquee to a line of gilded sleighs, open to the air and lined with warm faux fur blankets. Someone’s been busy with spells, for sleighs, furs, and the horses that pull them are all colours of white and silver. There don’t appear to be any drivers for the sleighs, but as soon as you’re in and settled the horses will pick up their feet and begin to pull. More spellwork, then.
Once the horses have settled into a steady trot, the soft jingle of bells on their harness is a constant in the background. Enjoy your trip around the grounds! |

"I have lived in Godric's Hollow all my life... except for when I moved in with the Denver's. Still in the UK with them. And then all the last summer I stayed in London... on my own mostly," she said with an equally curious look on her face. "I haven't really ever been exposed to Muggle society except for in London and Paris. I stayed in a small wizarding village in the South of France ever summer for as long as I can recall... in my childhood. I am utterly ignorant to most things Muggle... and the only thing I know about the States is that I visited New York once and stayed with my best friend, Kat," she explained.
"I will be very happy with that company in this matter. VERY happy. You have no idea how great you make me feel, Stradivarius," she said with a big grin... "If you don't want me to call you that tell me... and I won't." She kissed him back eagerly and then lay her hands against his chest, right over his heart and sighed happily.
QUIDDITCH!! "Yes! I have played both Chaser and Beater for my house team actually. I swear... I think I started to fly before I could walk good. Flying makes me feel... safer than anywhere else in the world. Do you... fly?" she asked with a little bounce in her seat. QUIIIIIIIDDDDDDIIIIITTTTTCCCCCCH!

Once she'd had her fill of the horses, she turned to him with a smile. "Ready? Or do you want to pet them once more?" Once Arya was out of the carriage, Sabel stuck his hands in his pockets, watching her with a small smile. "Walking sounds good."
Pushing his shoulder off the carriage, he made his way over to the horses and gave them one last pat before offering Arya hias hand again. "There. Now I'm ready."

Lachy then stepped on right after her and sat down next to her, he put his arm around her, at that moment the sleigh ride began, he smiled looking into her beautiful eyes, "So how have you been?" He asked her making conversation.

She asked putting her arm around him, she was confused if they were together or not still, but she should enjoy February as long as she can.

"Good, but even better now that I am with you, beautiful" He said winking at her. "Would you like to, um, spend some of the summer holidays with, um, me?" He asked bitting his bottom lip.

But then the smile faded into a bit of a shocked face, did he mean, like a, date?!?! She needed to make sure. "Um, l-like a da-date?" She asked nervously, because she needed to be sure.

"Yes like a date" He nodded, great, he had done it this time! She was going to crack! He knew it! At least he got two great days out of her, and one magical kiss, even though he had only kissed her on the forehead.

Coraline thought about this, well, she was actually really starting to like Lachy, and a date is what happened when you both liked each other a lot, there was only one answer then! "Sure!" She said putting her other arm around him giving him a hug, smiling, she said "Where would we go?" |

Lachy smiled though, he was very happy that she hadn't freaked out, but a little worried. "Where ever you would like to go" He said, he didn't mind where they went, as long as he was with her, he was happy.

She said, but of course, he was a boy, and boys don't like the kind of shopping that girls do, so she didn't mind if he didn't want to, but she would love to go shopping.

Like looking at stuff and then leaving with a recent amount of stuff?" Lachy asked, did she really want to go shopping? Wasn't that a bit boring? What about like watching the sun set or something?

"Shopping, like trying on heaps of clothes and shoes, and buying lots of stuff" Coraline smiled, that had been her dream, she had never done it before, due to the fact her family were mean and didn't let her out into the world, they didn't even want her to go to Hogwarts!

"That sounds like... fun" He said sarcastically, he started chuckling, he couldn't imagine him shopping like that, but there always is a first for everything! "Sure, we can go shopping, it will be our first date" He said with a grin on his face, he really didn't mind were they went.

She was so happy! Never had she been this happy in her life so far! She gave Lachy a great big hug, "Thank you!" She said happily. If they were going to go on a date, they should know about each other, of course, "So tell me about yourself please" She asked.

"Just a thought, why are you so happy about shopping? Wouldn't you go nearly everyday cause girls love shopping?" Lachy chuckled and gave her a hug back.
Lachy thought long about that question, and then finally replied.. "I'm muggleborn and never knew I was a wizard till I got the letter, but I am still confused about magic and Quidditch" He said running his fingers through his red hair.

Coraline sighed, she still had not told him, and he needed to know, "My family never lets me go outside our house, they didn't even want me going to Hogwarts, so I ran away and came to Hogwarts, at the end of this year I shall probably go back home and be locked in my room and the window will be bared, and I won't come back to Hogwarts ever again!" Coraline cried, she wasn't kidding though, her parents would probably do that. "I know quite alot about magic and Quidditch, I could help you learn if you like, but I won't get on a broom thats all" Coraline giggled, if she went on a broom she would most likely to fall off it and hurt her self.

"If you get locked in your room, I shall save you, I shall come in the dead of night and somehow get you out and we can run away where your parents can't find you" Lachy said taking hold of her hand, that sounded terrible to be locked away in a room.
Lachy grinned, he raised his hand like you would in a class room and said, "Why don't we go to the room of requirement tomorrow and practice spells?" |

Coraline blushed, "Lachy Lachy, my prince in shining armor" She said giggling as if she was a princess, and her mother would be the evil person, because she was evil, "What are you parents like?" She asked. "Okay!" Coraline replied, she would love to learn spells with Lachy, she never knew being with a boy was this fun.

"My parents? there alright, they don't really understand magic at all so they just think that I am going to a normal school" Lachy said, his parents were quiet odd actually...
Lachy remembered what happened last time he kissed her, she didn't freak out, and that was a good sign? Would she freak out if he kissed her again though? He was going to take the chance of having a freaked out Coraline, he kissed her gentle on the cheek and waited to see what she said.

"I think thats better if they think that, so then they don't think its dangerous, because some muggles think magic is dangerous" Coraline told him, and she was being completely honest to him, some muggles do think magic is dangerous, epically when Voldemort was around, she still couldn't believe she was related to him..
Coraline felt as his lips touched her cheek, a smile came to her face, she was used to him kissing her now, and she didn't mind, she smiled and said, "Why do you keep kissing me? This is the second time in the past two days..." |

He said.
Lachy was so happy she wasn't freaking out, but then again confused on what she said, "If you don't want me to kiss you I won't" He said, no upsetting people here.

Lachy was so happy she wasn't freaking out, but then again confused on what she said, "If you don't want me to kiss you I won't" He said, no upsetting people here. "If only muggles knew how magical magic was" Coraline said relaxing in his arms, this was probably one of her favorite days of her life so far, "I don't take after my family" Coraline said with a wink, because her family was mean. "So do you have any siblings?" Coraline asked, and if he didn't, he could always have one of hers....
Coraline smiled looking up at him, she wanted to say she wanted him to kiss her, but that wouldn't be like her, so she just replied by saying "Guess" With a wink and smiled.
