Flowers Can't Compare ((Victoria))

[dominic]

Dominic pulled his jacket tightly around himself as he stood outside the castle under a tree. The weather was quite chilly, but at least it wasn't raining or snowing. He wanted to take Victoria on a walk around the grounds. It was amazing the little places you never found while walking with yourself, it was like it was magically enchanted to appear only when two people were walking together. He knew this because of the many races Damien and he had around the castle over the years. Dominic smiled at the memory. His brother was truly a friend and he would never desert Dominic. A cold wind blew through and he looked up at the darkening sky. The sun had nearly set behind the horizon. The last few rays of light were slowly dimming. Dominic shivered at the cold wind and then sighed in stupidity. Why was he such an idiot some times?

Dominic cursed himself as he pulled out his wand. Muttering a spell to himself a warmth engulfed him and it seemed to make a shelter around him. He could no longer feel the wind against his skin. Magic was so obvious sometimes and yet he forgot about it. He forgot about the one thing that was more prominent to him than anything. He knew he couldn't live without magic. He remembered those days in St. Mungo's when magic was prohibited around him. Those could years had been horrible. He held his wand in his hand staring down at the wood. He guarded his wand as much as he guarded his brother. Sighing, Dominic stuck his wand back into his jacket pocket and looked around. The wind was blowing hard now, but he couldn't feel it at all. It was nice and warm inside his bubble of magic.

Dominic sat down and leaned against the tree. He would stand when he saw Victoria. 'Victoria,' Dominic said to himself as a smile spread across his face. She was quite the girl. Amazing really. She was strong in just about every sense. She was exciting and last night had been extraordinary. The Halloween Ball had been great and then staying up most of the night with her had been amazing. They had talked quite a bit last night. He hoped that she would consider going on a date with him to Hogsmeade. Dominic felt he could tell her about his past. No one except his brother knew about his past, but Dominic hoped that Victoria would be the first to know and that she would stay with him.

Dominic sighed again. His past was a whole different issue. He hadn't made any progress on his plans since he got here. He only had a year and half before he graduated. He had been sure that he would fulfill his mission while he was still in Hogwarts. However, he hadn't heard any word about his parents. How could they do this to him? Dominic's anger rose slightly as he continued to think about his past and his parents. He wanted nothing more than to give them what was coming to them, but he couldn't if he didn't know where they were. He didn't even know if they were still alive. He hoped they were so he could kill them.

Dominic snapped out of his daydream of death as a looked down at the dead grass. A small flower was trying to survive the November weather. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at the flower. Without saying anything, blue and green sparks emitted from the wand. As the sparks circled around the flower it grew faster and larger. The colors of the petals were a multi color. It was beautiful. He pocketed his wand once again and picked the flower. Looking at it's beauty, he smiled. This flower would be a perfect gift for Victoria. It was a rare flower, an individual, and it was gorgeous. It had all the same characteristics as Victoria. He just hoped she would appreciate it. He chuckled as he looked down, of course she would. She was beautiful and so was this flower, unfortunately the flower wasn't as beautiful, but it would due. Dominic heard a sound near him and he quickly stood and turned with the flower held out before him.

Victoria stepped out of the bath and with a flick of her hand a white towel flew into her hand and she wrapped herself in. She walked across the bathroom where the large bathroom was full of bubbles. She had been sitting in there for over an hour, she smiled as the painting on the wall smiled back at her. She strolled over to a large mirror where she had placed a small stool in front of it. She sat on it and moved her face closer to the mirror. She stared carefully at first her big blue eyes that glittered in the light, she moved on to her cheeks where she delicately touched her cheek bones. She then pouted her lips and glared at them and the falling of a lock of her hair made her concentrate on her long, blonde hair.

She leaned back at examined her body and she threw her arm up into the air like she did in the dance with Dominic, she clicked her fingers and a rapid, burning draught of wind blew out of no where. She found the brush which was on the floor and began to brush her hair; she started with the back at made her way to the front. She grinned as her hair began to shine again like it did at the Halloween ball. She glanced to the side where a large box was. She placed the brush in her hand and told it to play and soothing music came from within. As the music and wind went on she kept brushing her hair until she finally had attained the beauty in her hair she had found before. She clicked her fingers again and threw the brush on floor.

She stood up, making sure that the towel didn’t drop and slid the stool to the side. She kneeled in front of the mirror and shifted her make-up and jewellery box closer. She slid it open and applied a pale base on and then dabbed a light, sapphire blue on her eyes. She then placed the expensive blusher and the pale pink lipstick was applied carefully and then she raised her head to see what she looked like. She smiled and closed her make up box and swapped it with unlocking her jewellery box. Inside were many gorgeous, elegant, beautiful pieces of jewellery. She slipped in a pair of diamond earrings that made her eyes like up. She then slipped around her neck a stunning crystal necklace which only slightly differed from the necklace she wore at the Halloween ball. When she was finished, she stood up and waved her hand in front of her belongings and they all flew near her bag which was her next destination.

She opened her bag and saw the outfit she had decided on the night before. She slipped on her black, lace underwear and then glided a silk, black top on. She then wore a pair of dark blue jeans which already had a silver scarf disguising itself as a belt. She then pulled it out and threw it around her neck, making sure that her necklace was on show. She slipped on a pair of kitten-heeled shoes and packed the rest of her things. She then left for the Hogwarts Grounds, grabbing her coat on the way and flicking off the music off. She ran down the stairs and stepped out onto the grounds. She bathed in the night and the moon shining brightly down. She then saw Dominic.

He was holding a beautiful, colourful flower and looking handsome as ever. She left her coat on a nearby tree branch and strolled down. She watched him carefully, making sure that he wasn’t being idiotic. As the sound of her arrival became more obvious, he whipped round and held out the flower. She clutched her heart, smiled and took the flower.
“Oh, it’s beautiful. Thank you Dominic,” she answered, smelling the flower. She held his hand tightly and kept the flower in the other. She kissed him gently on the cheek and whipped round so that they were much closer and warmer.
“So, do you know where we are going?”

As Dominic spun around he caught his breath. Victoria looked beautiful. She was stunning. It took his breath away. Without words he stuck the flower out in front of him for her. He watched as she took the flower from him and he felt her hand graze his and then a hand clutched his tight. He actually smiled when she smelt the flower. She looked like a flower herself. Though words could not compare to her nor could any other object in the world. He closed his eyes as he felt a soft peck on his cheek. Opening them at her question he smiled. Of course he knew where they were going. Hogwarts would be stunning at this point in time. Victoria seemed to be a little chilly as she came in close. Dominic didn't mind, but he didn't want her to be cold. He quickly took out his wand and cast a spell enclosing them in a warm bubble of heat, like he had done earlier. The wind was blocked and they wouldn't have to worry about anything chilling them.

"Of course I know where we're going and I'm not telling you. It would ruin the surprise," Dominic said as he started to walk toward the castle. He was going to show her the beauty of Hogwarts at any point in time. As the turned the corner of the castle a spell seemed to come into use. A garden of beautiful blue, red, green, violet, and yellow roses came out of no where. They were all sorts of colors and the smelled was so noticeable that Dominic inhaled deeply of the beautiful scent. He looked over at Victoria as he bent down and pulled one of the magical roses. As it rose to their level, Dominic watched as the rose quickly bloomed to it's peak and began to wither and die. "Everything in here is so beautiful, but you cannot take the beauty back with you. It's a great spell with such an evil side affect. Of course, this beauty can never compare to yours," Dominic said as he stared into Victoria's eyes. He felt something for her. What he felt he wasn't sure, but it was something and that was enough. Dominic finally looked away as he sat down in the bed of roses. He lay back and looked up at the sky. The sky was completely dark except for the million of stars scattered throughout the sky. It was beautiful. Looking up he saw different stars and constellations that he recognized through his Astronomy class he had taken in his first few years. He looked over at Victoria and smiled. He never thought he'd be doing this with anyone, let alone a beautiful witch. "Beautiful isn't it?" Dominic asked.

Victoria followed Dominic, her heart beating faster and faster as they got closer to their destination. As they walked, Victoria looked at Domonic more closely. The flicks of his hair, the glimer in his eyes and the roughness of his skin. She grinned as the thought of her telling this to her friends arose in her mind. She calsped her hand tighter, not wanting to be left behind or forgotton. Finally, they got to where Dominic wanted to show and Vicotria's breath left her body.

The place was stunning, like a ray of light was shining on it. It was their little patch of heaven, she smiled back at him. She nodded sweetly as he told her how beautiful the place and she was. She looked up at the sky and saw thousands of twinkling down on them like they were showering the couple in happiness. The full moon beamed down of them brightly and she smiled.
Dominic went and sat down on a bed of roses but Vicotria stayed standing, still bathing in the beauty of the place.
"Oh, I do thank you Dominic, it's beautiful!" she whispered, not wanting her loud voice to hurt scare away the beauty of the place.
As, Domonic mentioned the beauty she nodded again. She couldn't speak, she started to fiddle with her necklace and suddenly she began to walk to the other side of the area. She gazed around, hoping that some other stunning thing would attract her.

She saw flowers everywhere, covering the place. Pink, blue, red, daisies, roses, tulips. Everything her heart could ever want. She turned on her heel and looked back at Dominic and looked deep into his eyes. She just stood there looking, not thinking about anything but him and with a sigh, she came over and sat by him.
