Merlina stood outside the doors to the Yule dance watching the festivities with mild amusement. She had dressed up this year especially for it in the hopes that Ryuu might actually attend or might actually ask her to dance but even a small glance was enough to tell her that it was all a pipe dream. Turning she walked away, out the main doors and along the gravelled yard to the courtyard and slowly wandered up the steps to the North Tower. She took her time in no rush for anything or anyone, feeling decidedly silly now for going to so much trouble. Merlina looked a lot different to the gawky kid burdened with puppy fat and glasses that she had been in first year and now more resembled her mother than she ever had before.
Slender now she had during the Brightstone weekend gone and had her hair all chopped up, giving her a very elfish almost boyish appearance though she was much too feminine to be mistaken for a member of the opposite gender. Especially in the dress she wore that came to just above her knees. Out onto the parapet she walked and continued on to the nearest turret looking out across at the evening sky. The stars were beginning to twinkle brightly already and the moon in it's crescent form glimmered brightly on the lake below. Resting her chin on her hands as she leaned forward Merlina wondered why she still went unnoticed. Her cousin was striking and almost eerie at times in her strange beauty and Merlina knew she would never be able to attain anything like that but she knew she was pretty now at least and had even hoped that her best friend would finally be able to see that too. She knew she was still very foolish for holding out when other boys were asking her constantly but she didn't want any other boy. From the first time she had seen him, there had ever only been one for her and no one else came close. If she couldn't have him then she would simply do without.
A star shot arcross the heavens and she closed her eyes slowly wishing hard not caring how superstitious she was behaving.
'I wish not for love, I wish for this... one touch, one dance, one kiss. I'll be happy... for that much at least' .
She knew full well that a wish used for love was merely a wish wasted, love had it's own magic and could not be persuaded or moved along by magic.
