The Yule Ball

Elrohir walked slowly up the walk up to the house and stepped inside. He stopped and looked around for a moment, not sure where to go from there.

"I didn't have much of a problem with stress in school." Maik said with a shrug. "Spent too much time in Filtch's office too really worry about my school work."

The butler came up. "How may I help you, sir?"
*~*~*~*~*~*
Descartes nodded. "Stressed from both."

"I need to speak to Mr. Hubert please." Elrohir said. "It's rather important."

"But you don't really get stressed about stuff anymore, do you?" Maik asked.

(I'd like to join this if possible. Are you allowed to roleplay as existing characters?)

(just create a character for yourself AFTER you have read ALL of the story to this point.)

"Not really. Only time I get stressed is when the ministry starts accussing my family of stuff. I know they mean well, but it still gets me." Descartes tells Maik smiling. "No offense."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The butler nodded and led Elrohir to Darius's study. "Master Elrohir to see you, sir." he announces.

"None taken." Maik smiled. "I'm sure the ministry will get tired of bugging you sooner or later."

Elrohir half-bowed to Darius. "Good evening Mr. Hubert. I was wondering if I could discuss something with you."

Darius nodded. WHen the butler was gone, he motioned to the chair in front of his desk.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Descartes smiled. "Maybe, but if they sent you, I wouldn't care either way."

Elrohir sat in the chair and fidgeted slightly, trying to get comfortable and figure out what to say.

"I'll keep that in mind the next time I arrest you." Maik laughed

Descartes cringed. "That hurt, Maik."
*~*~*~*~*~*
Darius sat down in a chair across from Elrohir. "Has something happened, Mr. Celebrian?" He asked. "I hope everythings is okat between you ad my daughter."

Maik's face fell. "I'm sorry. Didn't want to arrest you in the first place, you know."

"Everything's fine with Sonia." Elrohir replied quickly. "But I wanted to discuss those rules you gave me."

Darius arched an eyebrow. "I'm glad nothing is wrong with my daughter. We can discuss my rules."
*~*~*~*~*~*
Descartes gently cupped Maik's chin lifting it until her eyes were locked on his. "I'm glad you did. That way we could have met." he whispers before leaning in and gently kissing her.

"I want you to remove them." Elrohir said, bracing himself.

Maik returned the kiss, amazed for the millionth time that he liked her.

Descartes pulled back in a dazed smile. "Wow."
*~*~*~*~*
Darius blinked. "Mr. Celebrian, I placed those rules to protect my daughter. I love her and don't want anything to happen that isn't planned."

"Wow what?" Maik asked.

"I understand that Mr. Hubert," Elrohir replied. "But I want you to trust me. I would never do anything to hurt your daughter."

"You're just wow." Descartes says smiling goofily.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Darius sighed. "I'm sorry, but I just can do that. I won't let my little SOnia go through what her mother had to go through."

Maik laughed. "That good?"

Elrohir sighed. "Mr. Hubert, I understand that, but why can't you just trust me? I would never do anything to your daughter."

Darius sighed. Standing he walked around and stared out the window. His back was to Elrohir. "What rules do you want to be removed?"
*~*~*~*~*~*
Descartes smiled. "Yes, very."

Elrohir paused a moment before answering. "All of them."

"Really?" Maik smiled. "Want to do it again then?"

Descartes didn't answer. Instead he leaned in kising Maik deeply this tim.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Darius spun around with the obvious air og indignant. "No." he stated.
