A Night to remember {Albus/Dominique/Open}

[Korus Lee Williams]

{ooc: I thought you guys might want to know that this takes place before korus is attacked by a werewolf. This takes place the night of his attack.}

Korus grabbed his broom and headed downstairs. He had quidditch practise and than afterward they where supposed to have a tournament. Everything was supposed to be done before night fall. After all it was the night of the full moon. And the staff wanted to have all the students back in school before the full moon was high. Once outside Korus hopped on his broom and flew through the sky until he got to the quidditch pitch. He was a seeker for the Slytherin team. And he must say he was pretty good at it. He was already running late for practice when he thought he heard someone fallowing him. He whipped around to see Albus Potter. "What do you want Gryffindor? Why are you out here fallowing me?" He stepped forward and glared at the gryffindor. "Well do you have a reason to be going to the quidditch pitch? If your spying on us to report back to Gryffindor before are battle tonight you can think twice.

[Albus Potter]

Maybe, just maybe, all Potters are doomed to be known as troublemakers. No one really can say much about it, but, if asked to anyone who could remember from the time of the great James Potter I and then his son Harry Potter (though in Harry’s defense he wasn’t looking for trouble, they usually find him instead), trouble, well, it was like trouble was something of which cannot be separated from either. Of course, each has their very own set of partners-in-crime. Still, just because one possessed the name and the gene, that doesn’t mean he’d be one of it. Albus, well, he certainly wasn’t. Then again, he was probably more of a Harry’s case than of a James I case. That was it, just as Albus was minding his own business, as expected... “Huh?” Albus said stupidly after being accused of committing a crime of which he did not commit. Apparently, the boy who had decided to shot first and ask question later haven’t exactly quite figured out Albus was not one of those kids that would spy on someone. In fact, he could proudly say, he was a decent enough Quidditch player that he doesn’t need to spy on others to win.

A sudden urge to spat a nasty retort rushed through Albus’ body. There was so much that he could say, however, after weighing down everything, he decided to pursue a less risky lane. “I was coming out from the locker room,” Albus said simply, pointing his fingers towards the doors. “Just about to finish up really,” He added simply, looking completely composed and not at all affected by the older boy’s approach. After all, the only one who could really mess with his head was his older brother – and cousins.

[Korus Lee Williams]

Korus sighed was was he the one that got swamped by the losers. What was it with the Potters and Weasley's. They always seamed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He looked down at his broom than behind him. He could hear the shouts of his quidditch team. He was the captain and he was late for practice. Not good, not good at all. With a sigh Korus turned to look back at Albus. He took in the quidditch robes and figured Albus was telling the truth. "Listen Albus you should get out of here. If your telling the truth and you just came back from practice than your going to want to rest up before tonight's game. Your going to need all the rest you can get as well as all the practice you can get to beat Slytherin. Now I better not see you in the stands Albus. I don't want to have to get you in trouble." He didn't want to be to mean after all it was Albus's cousin Dominique that he had a crush on. He was about to turn and head for the quidditch field when something popped in his head. "Um hey Albus you don't know by chance whether your cousin Dominique will be coming to watch the game will she?" He hated to admit that he may like her but it was driving him crazy not knowing if she would be there or not.

[Albus Potter]

What was it with everyone and their tendency to boss him around? That was the one thing that Albus couldn’t figure out. It was bad enough being boss around by James not to mention being teased along the way, but, to be bossed around by someone else, that was just irritating even for Albus. His eyebrows furrowed together showing full well he wasn’t at all appreciative of the fact that he was ordered around. “If?” Albus said boringly, there was a hint of obvious disdain in his tone. People should have known by now, the trouble maker in the Potter family is James, not him. Great, because of his big brother, he had to walk around having people doubt his innocence. Again, feeling rather annoyed, Albus felt like there was something he should have said, however, after considering things and thinking it through, he decided that it was better not to argue with someone who’s much older. What would be the point if he ended up missing a match for something so trivial such as that?

“Nevermind,” Albus said boringly, swinging his broomstick over his shoulder. He had enough argument for the day to even start another one. Of course, the topic change almost suddenly when Korus started to ask for Dominique. Not sure whether he wanted to laugh or feel sorry for anyone who was affected by that Veela charm of his cousins, he shrugged. Well, it wasn’t exactly new for any of them to be pushed to the corner when someone asked for one of the Weasley sisters – the one with the Veela blood in them at least. “Haven’t seen her today, I reckon she probably would,” He said simply, not wanting to completely confirm nor deny whether Dominique would grace the game with her presence.

[Dominique Weasley]

Dominique was beyond annoyed. Charged with keeping an eye on the younger ones, as if she didn't have enough to do, she huffed and stomped down the stands until she was just within hearing range of Albus. "Albus Severus Potter, get your butt back into the castle, or I'll have Mum down here in nothing flat!" Why Mum gave her this task was beyond her. It did give her a reason to be down here though, and keep an eye on her more private task, Korus. She looked at him briefly and nodded, not wanting to think too much about what she had to do tonight. Already she was tense and nauseous with the coming moon, despite the wolfsbane that had been smuggled into the castle - or maybe because of it. Stressing about what was to come only made it worse. She forced herself to put it out of her mind, making herself even sicker wouldn't change the inevitable, only make it harder to face.
Mum had made it clear she didn't want any of them wandering the grounds after dark, or even close to it. Grumbling, she tapped her foot and waited for Albus to get a move on, she didn't have all night to hang about waiting for him, especially for something stupid like quidditch practice. It almost made her wish Victoire was still in school, even though ....
Never mind. NOTHING could make her wish Victoire was still in school.

[Korus Lee Williams]

Korus looked at Albus and sighed. This was going to be a long day. Just as he was about to reply the most beautiful voice he had ever heard came from behind him. He turned around and his blue eyes settled on Dominique. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever set eyes on. But she was not happy. Apparently Albus was supposed to be back into the castle by now. "Hey Dominique you coming to the game to night? Slytherin plays against Gryffindor. The match should be over before dark. At least that is the way it is planned." He didn`t want to get his hopes up but he really wanted her to be there. He knew she would most likely cheer for her cousin's team but she would still be there. Korus's eyes darted over to Albus and wished he would get lost already. He would love to spend some alone time with Dominique.

[Dominique Weasley]

She looked at Korvus and smiled widely before stomping over to where they were, her boots clomping loudly with every step, causing the bleachers to vibrate. It wasn't a friendly smile, she didn't have too many of those lately. It was more of a, 'I'm gonna knock the hell out of this kid for taking his sweet time, when I'm already aggravated' kind of smile. The kind you used when you really wanted to scream obscenities and tear someone's hair out. She actually did start to reach for Albus' hair when she finally made it over there, but caught herself in time, and tried to make it look like she was just stretching.
"I have to make sure the family runts get themselves back in the castle, so yeah I'll definitely be there."
This was the part she hated. She knew he was going to ask her to hang out after the game, maybe have tea or just walk around the pitch, even though they both knew it would be forbidden. She knew it like she knew the sky was blue, grass was green, and tonight was the full. Dominique almost hoped he'd say he had someone he was responsible for too, so he'd be inside early, much too early for her to catch him after she changed.

[Korus Lee Williams]

Korus watched as Dominique stomped her way over here. No matter how angry she was she still remained beautiful. He had asked a few girls to go for a walk with him. But for some reason asking Dominique felt more important. He was actually scared that she might say she can't. "Um Dominique, I was wondering after you got all your ah runts in the castle. Would you like to go for a walk with me? Maybe around the quidditch pitch. Or maybe we can have tea and a bite to eat afterwords." Korus kept a sincere look on his face and didn't take his eyes from her so he could watch her expression. A shout from behind told him practice had started. "Oh i should get going my team has started with out me. I'll see you after the game right?" He took a couple steps back ready to run as soon as she gave him his answer. He would love to hang around and talk with her but he just didn't have the time.

[Albus Potter]

Uh-oh. Albus wasn’t sure what, but Dominique must have some trick up her sleeves to be able to show up just as her name was mentioned. It was not that he wasn’t fond of his cousin, but, the sound of her voice being bossy was enough to make Albus cringed. Of course, it wasn’t long before Korus, like any other boy; switch their attention directly towards his Dominique prompting Albus to make a mental note to make sure he would embarrass Korus in front of her. It was nothing personal. Heck, it was definitely bloody personal. When you’re fourteen and a boy, the last thing you wanted too was to be boss around by any girl. The thought, of course, made Albus rather glad that he had an older brother instead of an older sister. Though, Lily wasn’t exactly without her own ability to boss him around either. It was just his luck being stuck in the middle of a trouble-maker big brother and well – a younger sister.

Dominique was definitely not the patient one. That much Albus knew, that made it pretty much far more interesting to test her limit, watching her trying her hardest to keep her compose self, there... He grinned slightly as Dominique started to show how he was getting to her. Stretching, pfft, just exactly how many times had Dominique used the trick to get away from actually try to grab Albus’ hair out of annoyance? Ahh... “Are you tired cousin?” He asked, trying to sound as innocently as he could. It was too much fun for him to push her buttons. But of course, he wasn’t trying to embarrass her in front of a boy that put her up there in the pedestal. “Maybe you should take some rest, I’m sure Lily will catch more snitches in the future,” He added, pulling the sweetest fake smile he could plaster on his face.

Tsk. Just as he had expected. Boys never stopped trying to get Dominique’s attention. It was almost too sad for him to even watch the short drama that was unfolding before him. “I thought you were going to help Louis with the potion, you wouldn’t want him not passing his OWL, do you?” He asked simply, making it seemed like it was a simple question, maybe he’d annoy Dominique or she could be thanking him. Either way, they both knew that Louis never needed anyone’s help when it comes to his studies, if he had, he would have probably ask James instead, they are after all in the same year.

ooc: pity the child!

[Dominique Weasley]

Dominque glared at the walking dead boy and cracked her knuckles. She wasn't going to hit him, not with Korus there to witness, and hitting was a muggle thing to do anyway.
"What are you chattering on about now, you-" she stopped just before using a word that would get her a howler for certain, if Albus told. And tell he would, all right.
"You know damned well Louis doesn't need any blasted help, he does fine on his own. Potions isn't my area anyway, so-", she leaned down to whisper in his ear, dead serious.
"Get your skinny arse back inside till start of game, or I'll shove my wand so far, so hard down your throat you'll be passing splinters for a month, you little twerp."
She grabbed him by the collar and gave him a little shake, just a hint of what was to come. Albuswas SO dead.
"Sure, I'll be around after the game, we can walk the pitch, make sure everyone got back inside," she winked at Korus, and gave a significant look at Albus over his head. She began dragging Albus back with her, growling and hissing half bitten off curses under her breath, half daring him to try and get away. Of course Albus picks that time of the month to mouth off, which takes a whole new meaning as a werewolf. What a pain in the arse.

[Victoire Weasley]

I walked through the entrance of the Castle out to the grounds. After an interesting meeting with the Headmaster I decided it would be a good time to visit my siblings. Louis had Quidditch, so I figured I would visit Dominque first. I had searched all of the places Dominque might be inside of the castle. Now it was time to search the grounds. I assumed if she was out this late she would be near the Quidditch Pitch. I walked in to the darkness. The wind blew against my cheeks and nose, making them pink. I smiled, I loved winter. The clothes, the weather, the snow. It was all just fantastic.

It did not take long for me to find Dominque. I spotted her blond hair in a crowd of three. I recognized our cousin, Albus, but the other boy I did not. I walked up to them, pushing my blond hair behind my shoulders. "Hey Dom. Hey Albus. What are all of you doing outside of the castle this late?" I asked, extremely curious. Though, I was not one to judge, I had gotten my fair share of detention due to my escapades.

I gave both my sister and cousin a hug before turning to the boy I did not know. I stuck my hand out to shake his. "Hi, I'm Victoire. I am Dominque's sister." I explained. Smiling a dazzling smile that all men seemed to melt at.

[Dominique Weasley]

Dominique growled. What the hell was her stupid sister doing here? Didn't she get enough attention for a single academic life, she had to come back and hog Dominique's share also? Or had she stooped to scoping out the castle for fresh blood? She wanted to jump up and claw Victoire's eyes out, with her phony coy 'ooh, look a boy, I didn't know or I'd have freshened my lip gloss' smile, and her artfully messy hair, and her tailored office clothes and...everything damn it.
"WE are getting in from the chill outside, while HE joins his team to prepare for the quidditch match in a while. Korus, Victoire, Victoire, Korus" Dominique supplied sullenly, wishing for just a moment to get Victoire alone with a stunning hex, a blowtorch and an Obliviate.
"What are YOU doing here, Vic? Following a lead? Chasing a smuggler to the stables and made a wrong turn? Or maybe you found those vandals that wrote all those naughty limeriks about all the girls on your floor, and you're going to arrest all the first years on suspicions of vandalism? I know! Inspecting cauldron bottom thickness! I knew you would work your way up, Maman always had such high hopes for you"
She was smiling, and an offhand observer might think she was joking, but there was a bit of truth to that last bit. All of Mama's expectations seemed to rest on her older sister. Her pride, and affection, her energies all seemed concentrated on Vic like she was some kind of goddess in training or some crap. Whatever. She wasn't going to let it get to her, she wouldn't give Victoire the satisfaction.

[Victoire Weasley]

Dominique did not seem all that pleased to see me. I knew she resented me a bit but I tried to ignore it most of the time. She would find out on her own sooner or later that she's is just as fantastic as everyone else. My parents and I had tried enough times to get that through her head, but it didn't seem to work. So for now ignoring it was all that I could do.

Instead of rolling my eyes I smiled at my sister and shook my head. "No, none of that." I said with a laugh. "I had a meeting with the Headmaster about all of the recent attacks. It seems like more and more are cropping up around Hogsmeade. She and I needed to talk safety measures." I explained. "I hope you are being careful Dominique. I would hate to see you go through what I have these last few weeks." Dominique had already been sent off to Hogwarts when I was attacked by that nasty Fenrir Greyback but I knew that mum had written both Louis and Dominique with her concerns. It is unsure if I was bitten or not because of all the cuts and bruises, but we will find out soon enough. Lucky for me Teddy has been more than supportive.

"I just thought I would come to say hello and check up on you. Mum is always excited to hear about and from you." That reminded Victoire, their mother had asked her to tell Dom to write her soon. "La mama a dit de préciser que vous ne l'avez pas écrite en semaines. Vous savez ce l'inquiète." She told Dominique, slipping in to French.

[Albus Potter]

Victoire! Albus almost yelped with relieved the moment he saw the familiar face of Victoire Weasley, the gentler of the two sisters. Though, the term gentler was always used loosely when it came to describe either Victoire or Dominique. Beautiful the two sisters maybe, but gentle, neither ever came close. For one, everyone could tell alone from Victoire’s choice of profession and when it came to Dominique, years and years of her threats made by her against him, those were enough to make Albus realize that she was no better when it came to claiming the ‘gentle’ title. Louis on the other hand, now, that one was always different. It wasn’t that Albus would go as far as calling Louis ‘gentle’ but he was something else compare to his sisters. His approach in life for as long as Albus could remember had always been different as well. It was actually a surprise that he had ended up getting prefect with his carefree attitude. Nonetheless, Aunt Fluer and Uncle Bill were pleased with the fact.

“Victoire, fancy seeing you here,” Albus said quickly, trying to wriggle away from Dominique’s clutch. It had to be something in the Veela blood seeing her grip seemed to be harsher than even of James. Then again, James never really dared to drag Albus anywhere; he would just toy with Albus’ fear of something, James was not someone who’d get his hand dirty at any rate. “Um... If you don’t mind, a little help would be great,” Albus added as he tried to look cool being half-dragged by Dominique. However, it became apparent to him; Victoire was more concern of Dominique than him. Surely, soon enough, he came to understand why. Parents, as always, would be the source of whatever tension there was in the air. Though Albus was never really good at French, but hanging out at his Uncle Bill’s every now and then does help him to pick up some understanding of the language. The terms ‘Mama’, ‘Write’ and ‘Worried’ or at least he thought they were, was enough to make him understand.

ooc: I believe I'm still not free from the dragging?

[Korus Lee Williams]

{{Just to warn you my post may not be the greatest I am really sick right now. But I'll do my best!}}

Korus was shocked to see how angry Dominique was. He had never seen her so furious before. Maybe he should help the little brat. He took a step forward. But stopped someone else was heading towards them. She was pretty but compared to Dominique in his opinion was much more beautiful. When Dominique introduced them he cave a small smile just so he wouldn't be rude. "Hello as Dominique said i am Korus. I have heard much about you and it's a pleasure to meet you at last Victoire." Though he wasn't being completely honest but he didn't want to be rude to Dominique's sister. If he was he might lose any chance of dating Dominique. Korus's eyes continued to glance over at Dominique. He wanted to keep her in sight. She looked rather angry tonight.
