Black Manor

Jacqueline frowned as Raziel talked. She held his gaze without looking away. She knew first hand how ruthless Death Eaters are. After she was one. She prayed he didnt know that yet. One day she would tell him but now was not the time. "I hope you are not one of those men." she said true honestly. It was rare that you got that complete truth from Jacqueline somehow Raziel brought that side out of her.
 
Kira listened to Ben talk about his trip to Egypt, it sounded so interested. She was about to reply but then a voice came from beside her, she turned to see who it was, Alex, Kira had almost forgotten she was talking to her and Mallory. Kira let them talk and then Raziel came down as well, Kira sat and said nothing.

She laughed at Raziel's last comment and a sudden knot of fear appeared in her stomach, Dancing! she thought. Oh God I hope no one asks me she thought, not wanting to embarrass herself in front of everyone. She realised she wasn't saying anything, she turned back to Ben and said, "Oh, um, wow. That sounds amazing. Do you have any ideas yourself on what type of spells you would like to create?" She asked. Just then her dinner arrived, she blushed slightly when she realised it was the same meal as Ben's.
 
"Great.. dancing" Ben said. "If theres one thing I hate doing, it would be that" Ben said frowning. "Well we were thinking, obviously this was before Raziel switched departments, to create some spells that along the lines could be used in healing, so as numbing spells. When Raziel switched departments, that left me on my own, and so I thought I'd set up a meeting with Raziel for the possible creation of spells to be used for the Aurors e.g. maximising the strength and area covered by Protego" Ben said smiling as his food was brought to the table. "Excellent" Ben looking over at Kira's plate. "Great minds think alike eh?" Ben said jokingly, picking up his knife and fork, and started to eat.
 
Kira give a sigh of relieve when Ben said he didn't like dancing, but she thought she would tease him a bit, "So! You don't like dancing! How come?" She asked keeping a straight face, she didn't mind dancing, in fact she loved it, but not in front of strangers.

Kira listened to the ideas that they ahd come up with, "There are great ideas. Especially the strengthing of protego. Not only for Aurors, but everyone in general. After certain events, you can never be too sure about people anymore." She said, realising that the subject may be too heavy for dinner, and only knowing someone for a few minutes.

Kira, still blushing, laughed, "Yes I suppose we do. Or you are a copy cat." She said as she started to eat.
 
As Kira got into converstation with Ben, a house elf poped to ask Mallory, what she'd like to order."Can I have this lobster dish and a glass of elf made wine?"she told the house elf who than disappeared with a pop.

She turned to Kira and Ben."Hello, I am Mallory Malkin, owner of Malkin store"she introduced herself."You have a pretty exciting job"she said smiling as she heard about Ben's department thinking of making new spells.
 
Roswald decided to stay for a while, he didnt order much but a steak and fire whiskey from the house elf. He looked around at the table as it begins to get full with new people. It was nice meeting the few that where there talking among themself. He smiled at the one names Alex, sseeing as this the first time he ever meet her. The house elf finally brought his order, as he took his fork and knife and starts to cut the meat, eating bits of it looking down as he do.
 
"Hello Mallory, Ben Goulding" he said introcuding himself properly, extending his hand towards her. "Pleasure to meet you" he added smiling. "Yes its pretty exciting, yours?" he asked being polite.
 
"I own the Malkin store"she said with a smile."So do you like make completely new spells or modify them, or both?"she asked curiously as she drank the wine the elf made wine.
 
"Ah" Ben said going slightly reddish. I should of made the connection straight away. "Well my department researches into both, maximising the spells e.g. protgo, but also creating new ones, that could help different professions such as aurors or professor etc. Right now Im looking into maximising the radius and the strength and length of time Protego is operational." Ben said filling them in on his next research project.
 
Raziel smiled at Jac, he realized that he had fellings for the young woman and it both excited himself and scared him so also. He was so yus to not loving or experiecing the feel of dating that he thought he would only be married to his work. She made him feel alive and invicible and he hoped it would not end. " you want to dance with me my dear?" Raziel asked as he looked at the woman before him.
 
Jacqueline smiled her most charming smile. "It would be my pleasure." she said with happiness. She slowly stood and smoothed her dress so it once again hugged her body with perfrection. She tucked one of her curls behind her ear. She waited for him to lead the way. Jac was extremely glad she came to the party. Raziel was a danger to her that could land her in Azkaban but at the same time she felt completely safe in his arms. There were some risks you had no option but to take.
 
Raziel lead jac to the dance floor wher he pointed at the band and singaled the young lady who was lead singer to begin. Her voice was like none he had heard she made the listener feel what she song as if it was them she was singing about or there experiece. She was singing at "At last". Raziel reached a hand out toward jac who looked gorgeous as ever. He would fight a room full of dementor single handed for her and he hoped that this night could last forever. He wait patiently for her permission to lead.
 
Jacqueline glided gracefully by Raziel's side to the dance floor. She could feel the eyes of the others in the room on her, no doubt they were jealous of her date. Jacqueline smiled with pleasure as she heard the band. They were truly excellent but then again she expected no less from Raziel. He held his hand out to her. She swept down in a curtsy, hiding her blush, as was customary. She place one of her hands in Raziel's and put her other hand on his shoulder. Jac was now only a few inches from Raziel. She smiled elegantly as they began to dance.
 
Raziel stared down in to jac's beautiful eyes and looked into her soul in he liked what he saw, he saw a future. He spun the young woman around the room and around the dance floor witheasy and grace that would suprise most since raziel was a rather large man and the laws that governed movement screamed that he should not move so gracefully but he pulled it off. He felt the eyes of the other on him as he lead the beautiful woman in his hands around the dance floor. That was when he saw it, he wwas having a vision his eyes misted over and he saw that he was stuck having to make a decision... the decision was to stay with jac or was to leave her. Then like it came it was gone and over , which left raziel feeling drained. the song was ending and raziel was good at hiding his worry so he finished the dance.

He wass deep in thought though what did it all mean why would he have to make a decision...he knew that the future was not set in stone and he knew that his vision could change so he smiled at the room as he returned to the now and left the future for later.

((Jac i will pm you about this post later but I have to go to work now, so until later.))
 
Jacqueline twirled with ease. Dancing came natural to her. She laughed as Raziel spun her around the floor. Jac felt like she was 15 again and dancing with her father. She remembered what it was like back then to only have to deal with the worries of a prefect, no death eater responsibilities in her mind. Jac twirled back into Raziel and frowned slightly. He was looking at her but not seeing her. Something was happening. Since he was distracted she used her legimency to peek into his mind. She was excellent at it. When she only looked for a moment and wandless at that, he couldnt feel it and she couldnt see anything but what was directly in his mind. She hid her anxious feelings as she saw what he was seeing. He was seeing him self looking at her and deciding to leave her or not. She quickly retreated out of his head. Jac was surprised, she did not know Raziel was a seer. She wondered what this vision would mean to him.

Jacqueline kept quiet and plastered a charming, excited smile on her face. She could tell he was deep in thought. She would let him speak first.


((Raziel, I went ahead and posted. If this isnt okay and you want me to edit it just let me know!!))
 
Raziel bowedand sat down at the table as he pushed the vision from his mind, he then turned to jac and smiled trying to keep up apperance. "You are an amzing dancer. Where did you learn to dance?." Raziel asked.
 
Jacqueline wondered why Raziel did not accuse her about the vision right away. It confused her. She sighed internally. Jac would do the same and keep her emotions tightly locked up inside her head. She followed him back to the table and sat down at his side. Jac smiled slyly. "Thank you. I could say the same about you." She said with a giggle. "My father taught me growing up. He said it was a birthright, whatever that means" she said laughing again.
 
"Yes, its fun.I like fashion, clothes and realted items so I enjoy it very much"she explained Ben."So where do you live?"she asked Ben and Alex.
 
Link was escorted in by a house elf as he walks towards Raziel a stern looked upon his face. "Raz?" he would say wondering what be the caused of this event. "What's going on, who are all these people?" he would ask again being confused at the moment.
 
Jacqueline looked at this boy who had just arrived. She wondered who he was and why he looked so familiar. She pursed her lips in thought. Then it struck her. She had seen this boy in Kiera's mind along with worry and confusion. Jac wondered why he would cause such emotions in her daughter. She listened for Raziel's reply.
 
Raziel turned to see Link standing in the room and saw the look on his face and knew that link was confused and looking for answer. "I was promote to auror so I decided to through a get together to celebrate my good fortune." Raziel smiled. "Come sit with me and eat something with us." Raziel added gesturing to a seat next to him.

((WOW, Link it has been a long time since you have been on at least as this character. Are you planning on sticking around?))
 
Jacqueline smiled a charming smile at Link. She wondered if he would see the familiarity between herself and Kiera. Seeing Raziel was not going to introduce her to his young friend, Jac extended her hand to him. "Hello Link. I am Jacqueline Burke, however you may call me Jac." she said as kindly as her nature would let her.
 
Link still look rather confused wondering why Raziel hasn't question him yet. Good, he didnt need to know this, espically now that he was in Aura. He sat down besides Raziel and looked at the woman besides him. She looked familiar, as if she recognized her before. Her eyes, her face, weird. "I'm Link Woods" he would say taking her hand to his shaking with a brief moment. He than would turned to look at Raziel "Congrats, didn't see it on the daily phropet"

((Yeah I be around have a story to tell but not now))
 
Alex smiled and shook her head. "I live near the Harbor with my brother but that is quickly about to change." She said. She was getting sick of the little bungalow. Alex needed a real house. Alex turned to Ben. "How far are you guys in the subject of Forensic Magic?" She asked. Alex herself was a mistress at it. One of the things that saved her while she was on trail back in the states.
 
Raziel listened to the young man that sat next to him, Raziel grew up in a family where appearances meant everything. So he knew that he was to talk to Link alone to speak to him about his dissapearanc and Raziel also must talk to jac about his vision but he was still trying to get a grip of things before he acted. He order a salad and something cold to drink for Link. "No it was not in the daily prophet or at least not yet. Jac I am so sorry this is Link woods he is my foster son, he has been away for sometime visiting family." Raziel lied but he knew that it was required currently with the crowded room.
