The Home of Caius Reppert

[Caius Reppert]

::When they got to the door, Caius promptly put on his coat and opened the door for Daisy.::

Ladies first. ::wink and smirk::

::When they were both outside he closed the door took his wand out and muttered a locking spell under his breath, then locking the door with a special key. Turns back to his lovely date::

Ready? Where would you like to go? Its your pick.

[Daisy Ollivander]

::Daisy would move to the door as Caius opened it, slipping into her coat, and smiling as he spoke.::

Why thank you sir.

::She smiled and nodding, casting a light wink his way as well, though glanced around outside as he locked his door. She wanted to remember the way here... It had been purely an accident that she had found this place... And yet she hoped she could find it agan. She smiled as she heard him speak again, and turned to face him.::

Any recomendations? I don't mind where we go...

::She laughed a little, knowing she wasn't being terribly helpful.::

[Caius Reppert]

::Caius was silent for a few minutes trying to figure out the best place for them to go. The first place that came to mind was the Silvery Serpent, but that was a sketchy place. Well not for him, but for her. Maybe that was best place for a SECOND date... if that was even going to happen.::

You pick. Tell me your Favourite restuaraunt and we are there. ::chuckles and smiles::

Seriously... you pick.

[Daisy Ollivander]

*Daisy would think for a moment, shaking her head a little with a slight grin as he spoke. Her eyes glittered with some amusement, her head tilting a little bit, as she bit her glittered lip some. She thought hard about this. She honestly didn't go many places, especially the nicer places. She went to a couple places here and there but usually just simple food places when she needed something quick. But she would smile shyly and look up to him.*

How about the Roaring Lion?

*It was a bit more upscale, nothing amazing, but that was about as nice as she was used to, and if he insisted on paying, she didn't want the check to be too incredibly big... But she smiled a little to him, tilting her head.*

[Caius Reppert]

Sounds great! I just don't know where that is. SO you'll have to apparate us there. If you don't mind.

[Caius Reppert]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

::With a booming crack, Caius, along with Daisy, apparated in front of his Diagon Alley home. Just upon luck, Caius had been able to save a defenseless Daisy from a group of werewolves. Not being able to decide if it was luck or fate, Caius quickly looked Daisy up and down, making sure that she was okay. If she had any severe cuts or bites or anything, Caius was going to apparate her immediately to St. Mungos. She seemed to be okay, only shakened up.::

::breathless:: Daisy! Are y-you alright!

::For being a former Slytherin, Caius was being rather ... nice. It was rare for him to be so thoughtful, but considering that Daisy was a close friend, he had to be nice.::

[Daisy Ollivander]

Terror was the main, if not only emotion in Daisy's heart at the moment. She had wandered too close to the wrong people... She had simply been being herself... Kind, friendly, and a little over eager... Well now here she stood, breath siezed up, but tiny form safe in Caius' arms. It did not take long and the young witch would dissolve into tears, falling to pieces as she turned to bury her face against Caius' chest. True enough, she still didn't know him all that well, but for what she did know of him, he was a friend... Someone to turn to when things got hard... And one could certainly say, that was hard...

The Top Meadow had always been her place of thinking and rest, and had just turned into a place of terror for that night... She would tremble as she remained against Caius, seeking his strength in her fear. His words would suddenly penetrate her fright-filled mind and she would look up at him through tearfull eyes.

"Y-y-yes... I'm sorry Caius, I am alright... I'm fine."

She spoke rapidly before stepping backwards, slightly away from him, a sheepish feeling creeping within her. She hugged herself slightly, feeling silly for her come apart. She would suddenly start patting her pockets in surprise, wincing a bit.

"My wand... They have my wand..."

This was a sadness for her, for she had had that wand from the beginning when her Uncle had given it to her as a gift... But now it was gone... She sighed slightly and shook her head some, shivering a little bit as she glanced off in the direction of Hogsmede. They had apparated, and it was a ways off, but she wondered if she could get it back still, and yet the idea of facing those wolves didn't appeal to her at all.

(Sorry I haven't been around and posting like... At all for quite a while, not sure if you still want this to be continued, but if you do, here's a post. Again sorry it took so long.)

[Caius Reppert]

::The poor girl trembled in his arms, and for a second, he rather enjoyed it. A warm feeling flew throughout his body and he hugged her tighter to his chest. Daisy and he had had a falling out and had not talked in sometime. Luckily he wanted to talk to talk to her and knew where she would be. He shuddered slightly as he thought of what could have happened if he hadn't shown up or had been just a few minutes too late.::

::Daisy looked up at him, her tears glistening in the moonlight. Her face was paler than the moon, but it was the expression on her face that really affected him. It was a look of terror and confusion. He smiled slightly at her and gave her one more reassuring hug. About this time, she realized that the werewolves still had her wand. He chuckled as he looked back down at her.::

You'll get a new one. You are an Ollivander after all. Can't you just whip one up like that? ::snaps his fingers::

::His thoughts went straight to her older brother. Caius and Greyson hated each other, and if Greyson found out about it, he would have blamed Caius for putting her in her situation. All he wanted to do was punch in Greyson in the face. He annoyed the hell out of him. He found it weird that Daisy and her brother were so different. He shook his head to take away the thoughts and pointed his wand at the front door::

alohomora

::Picking her up so that he was cradling her like a baby, Caius carried Daisy over the threshold. He carried her down the hall to his bedroom so that she could rest and be comfortable (plus he wasn't going to let anyone lay down on his 5,000,000 galleon furniture and risk it getting dirty). He placed her down, made sure the pillows were comfortable, and summoned a blanket.::

I'll be right back ::winked and smiled::

::He headed to the kitchen to make the girl some hot tea, which is just what she (and he) both needed. He took the tea back to her.::

I know you are exhausted. You can sleep here tonight if you want.

::He secretly hoped she would agree to stay. They had lots to catch up on.::

[Daisy Ollivander]

Tremors continued to dart through the smaller woman as she stood there with Caius, her form still quaking from fright. And yet the warmth tha came from Caius as he simply held her calmed her more than anything could. She hadn't started out frightened of course, and yet as the intent of the wolves surfaced in her mind, it caused new waves of terror to crash all around her. She was often too friendly with people, trusting and innocent... She never thought anyone wished her harm, which was almost true... Those of good intent all seemed to like her, those with bad? Well she seemed to lie under their radar, never really a wonderful target... Thus the young witch was usually just fine.

Daisy knew Greyson didn't like Caius... She had seen it every time she had been around when they saw eachother... She knew there was dissension there and it bothered her greatly. She didn't want to be the cause of that, and yet so often she seemed to be... Caius... She didn't know how to explain the relationship they had... Sure, when they met, she had formed quite a little crush on him, and yet as they got to know eachother, in her mind, it became a friendship... Nothing more, and certainly nothing less... Who was to say it couldn't become more? And yet... She then withdrew into herself something horribly... She didn't want to speak to anyone, to see anyone, nothing... She simply wanted to be alone.

And for a while that was permitted, until the silly girl decided to wander and got herself caught... But then there was Caius to rescue her. It was likely that this tale would make it to her brother from the girl, and yet Caius would certainly be painted as the hero, and certainly Greyson would see... Wouldn't he? Well for now her mind remained on her wand, a great sadness flooding her, that had been her first wand... And it served her well. It was worn, but still in nigh perfect condition as she cared deeply for it, keeping it clean and well kept.

As Caius asked about her being able to simply make one, being an Ollivander, she would let a light giggle escape, shaking her head a bit.

"Oh no no... That's my brother to be sure..."

She giggled again, her eyes glittering, that smile more apperant than before, apperantly the terror and shock was slowly wearing off...

Soon enough she felt herself swept up into his arms. A gasp emitted and her arms darted up to wrap lightly around his neck to brace herself in surprise, her eyes blinking widely, and yet she would soon relax a bit as he carried her inside his house. Her gentle brown eyes were focused upon his own, her form still trembling every so often, but was calm for the most part. She smiled sweetly up at him as he carried her, and yet she soon found herself being laid upon a bed. She tensed up a little, wondering where Caius was going with this, and yet she would shake it off quickly, trusting the man.

She would lay where she was placed, nodding slightly as she heard his words, smiling warmly to him.

"Alright..."

She would respond to him softly, nodding slightly as she allowed her gaze to sweep the room in his absence, until he came back, two mugs of steaming liquid in his hands. A light sniff from her told her that it was tea, and she relaxed slightly, though she had sat up while he was gone. She smiled slightly as she heard his invitation, glancing down for a moment. She knew she really should get home, and yet going out alone at night with those Werewolves about didn't sound appealing to her. Greyson wouldn't like this... But she would nod slowly.

"If that's alright with you, I think I shall... But I doubt I'll be able to get any sleep tonight... I'm so wide awake..."

She nodded some as she accepted the cup of tea, lifting it to her lips to take a dainty sip, shivering as the warm liquid slipped down, warming her from the inside out.

[Caius Reppert]

::It was nice to have her back. Everything that they had been through seemed to have gone completely out the window. He handed her the tea, which she gladly accepted. He wasn't a romantic, but Daisy seemed to do something to him... he just wasn't able to put his finger on it. She agreed to spend the night, which made him relax some. He knew that Daisy didn't want to bother people and would want to go straight home. However, wandless, she wouldn't do herself much good. He chuckled at her comment of being wide awake.::

"Well we can talk. I never have anyone to talk to."

::Why was he acting like this... so... weirdly. He never acted like this. What was his problem? He was being too nice... too thoughtful... Where was the real Caius? Why wasn't he being the boarish, brainless character he was known for. He took a seat on the edge of the bed, just comfortably enough to sit with her. As he faced her, a single strand of her hair fell into her face. He leaned over and placed it behind her ear. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING CAIUS?! Where's the attitude? Where's the sarcasm? What are you doing. He didn't realize it, but he had just been staring at her. Awkward. He blushed a little, but covered it up as he took a sip of his tea.::

"Uh... do you...uh... need anything else? Food? Ice? Food? Anything?"

[Daisy Ollivander]

Daisy wasn't really the romantic sort either, well one to expect it that is. She enjoyed it when it came her way, but it wasn't a huge huge thing with her... And yet the light romantic actions that Caius performed always tugged at her heart. She smiled shakily at him, indeed, she had also thought about how going around wandless wasn't likely the smartest idea for the tiny witch. She would pull the blanket up to wrap it lightly around her shoulders, before sitting up as she held her tea. She liked Caius... She felt very comfortable around him... Comfortable and safe.

Her eyes brightened a little as she heard his words, taking another sip of his tea. She would nod a bit as she would wrap those dainty hands around the warm cup as she lowered it lightly to rest it upon one of her knees.

"Talking sounds delightful... If you'd like to that is."

Talking wasn't usually a highlight with many of the men she had gotten to know, sure they enjoyed light conversation, but it wasn't usually their Favourite activitiy. Well... She didn't know of Caius before she met him... He had always been a gentleman, sweet and gentle with her from the first meeting... She didn't know he was usually sarcastic, boarish, and attitude filled... She only knew him as a dear friend, an almost relationship, but most a dear friend.

She smiled sweetly as their eyes met and locked for a time. Though as he looked down, taking a sip of his tea, she would grin and do the same. She didn't find it awkward really... She didn't mind, heck she was gazing right back at him after all. But soon she heard his question, asking about if she needed anything. A light shake of her head was given, but she would smile warmly, remembering their first meeting.

"I'm not too hungry, but if you are, I could eat a little... Do you have food in your cupboards now?"

She grinned cheekily as she referenced to the first time they had met when he took her out to eat because he hadn't had a chance to go shopping.

[Caius Reppert]

::He chuckled lightly at her last comment::

I think I can muster up a few things.

::He gracefully got off the bed and headed towards the kitchen. Thank Merlin, his houseelf had done some shopping, however he didn't know what the little prat had bought... or where he put it. He'd have to remember to hit him later. Not too much later, Caius was filling a tray with some bread, pudding, baked fish (from his dinner the night before), and a little dessert. After his neardeath experience, Caius wasn't all that hungry. He was still shaky from the situation, though he tried his best to cover it up. Before opening the door to his bedroom, he stopped and muttered to himself.::

Don't get ahead of yourself Caius. DO NOT get ahead of yourself. Calm down. Just breathe.

::He entered the room with the tray of food with a half smile on his face. He placed the tray onto Daisy's lap that held all the goodies. He went around to the other side of the bed and plopped down beside her. For some reason he couldn't take his eyes off of her. It was then that he realized for the first time... Daisy was... beautiful.::

(Cheesy... sorry. haha. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this... but its fun!)

[Daisy Ollivander]

That grin remained on Daisy's face. Apperantly she was slowly calming down, which was good... A girl in hysterics wasn't anything any man would want around... And yet Caius was performing admirably with calming the girl... She smiled warmly to him, her eyes glittering just a bit. She did like Caius... He was a dear friend, and yet in her mind he didn't want anything more... Silly girl... But in any case, she was alright with that. She loved how they were now, and was too confused to go forward really...

She nodded a little as he said he could get something together, and rose from the bed. She continued to grin up at him until he was out of the room. Once the door closed behind him, she would let out her breath in a whoosh, sighing slightly and shaking her head as a tremor ran through her frame. What was she doing... It was true that Caius and herself had been getting closer before her few month reclusion... Thus she felt comfortable in his home... But if Greyson found out about this part, he'd be so angry... Nothing was going to happen, but Greyson would still be infuriated... And yet after facing those werewolves, Greyson's anger paled slightly...

She huffed a breath and trembled slightly as she thought of them. And suddenly a thought occured to her... What if the wolves came after Caius for helping her? Her eyes widened a little and panic began to set in. She knew about wolves... Not werewolves exactly, but she had done a bit of study on wolves, them being her Favourite animal after all... And they were quite the trackers... What if Werewolves were the same? The very thought caused her to panic just a bit.

Yet as he came back in, she tried to swallow her fears, putting on that smile again, though this time it was quite shaky and kept wanting to slip away. But she met his gaze and looked to the food he placed in her lap and smiled brightly. She wasn't insanely hungry after the experiance they had had earlier that evening either... But she would pick up a piece of the bread, nibbling at it quietly with a smile.

"Oh thank you Caius... This all looks and smells wonderful..."

She nodded and smiled up at him as he sat upon the bed beside her... She would move a little to lean against his side, oblivious of his thoughts as she gazed cutely up at him.

"You will have to help me finish it though..."

She nodded and smiled as she continued to nibble, careful not to drop crumbs upon the bed. She gazed up into his eyes, tilting her head a little as he had a little bit of a peculiar look in them. She wondered what was going on up there in his handsome head.

"What are you thinking...?"

She questioned in a lower, very soft voice as she smiled up to him, finding he was very comfortable to lean against.

(Heehee aww no it's not cheesy... It's cuuuute! And I don't know either, but I like it too Though Caius has to play his cards right... Lol Daisy's trust is easily earned but also rather easily broken if the wrong things are done. *nod* But thus far Caius is doing admirably.)

[Caius Reppert]

...Wha?..er.. Sorry. What was that? I wasn't paying attention.

::he chuckled nervously, trying to cover up the fact that he suddenly couldn't get the girl out of his mind. He had been watching her nibble her food cautiously. It was rather cute. Before she could answer him, Caius realized that he had been listening... just not comprehending her words (a trait rather dominant in most men), and answered her.::

Nah. Eat up. Its for you. Honestly I'm not hungry at all.

::He laid back onto the pillow and stared at the ceiling. She asked what he was thinking about. Should he tell the truth? That suddenly he had feelings for her? They had been good friends, well especially before she left, but he didn't realize how much he had missed her. He came up with a bluff.::

Um... I was thinking about... the... uh... werewolves. That was Fenrir. He's been a family friend for years. But the others I did not recognize. I'm just glad... that...

::he turned his head to look at her::

...you're okay.

::He looked back at the ceiling and put his arms behind his head. He sighed a quiet sigh, but it turned into a yawn.::

Bloody hell. What time is it?

::He changed the subject so it wouldn't bring back the fear that he had seen in Daisy's eyes::

[Daisy Ollivander]

Nervous giggles errupted from Daisy... Thankfully her giggles were usually seen as cute rather than the annoying ones that some girls seemed to posess and use at just the wrong times... She grinned broadly over at him, still nibbling upon some bread, and even taking a small bite of fish to nibble upon. Goodness she was like a little rodent, minus the huge front teeth, just nibbling away cutely at the food she was offered. She nodded a little as her stomach gave a loud snarl at the smell of food.

"Alright... Well thank you Caius... I really appreciate this... Everything..."

She nodded gently as she spoke of more than the food... As long as she could remember from the moment of meeting him, he always seemed to be there... Except for that time after he told her that it would likely be better for her to be away from him... Or some such like that... She didn't agree... She felt he was very good for her... A very wonderful friend indeed...

She remained against him, his warmth comforting to the smaller witch as she lay curled up in the blanket he offered her. She would await his answer to her searching question, wondering what was in his mind. She would never in a million years think that he cared for her as more than a friend... He couldn't, he wouldn't... They were friends. He had welcomed her back after her time of hurt and reclusion and fear, but that was simply because their friendship was strong... Right?

Well soon enough the answer came and she smiled warmly to him, shivering as he spoke of the werewolves again, but she nodded again in response to this, smiling warmly up at him as she leaned against his side.

"Ahh... Alright, yes... I am just fine. Are you alright? That female didn't hit you at all did she?"

She would suddenly look over to him worriedly, glancing over his form for a brief moment, her mind very well distracted by his dodge. It was very well pulled off.

Daisy soon felt drowsy as she ate, feeling very comfortable, warm, safe, and fed as she slowly started to finish off the food on the tray. Before long she would move to place it upon a surface to the side of the bed, before fully leaning gently against Caius. She hoped he didn't mind... And yet he didn't seem to be resisting it at all. She soon heard his exclaimed question and she shook her head a little, glancing outside. Of course it was dark, but it had been dark before they got there.

"I don't know, late though... It was getting on in the evening when I decided to go to the Meadow... That was so stupid of me... I know better... I'm sorry Caius, but I thank you so much..."

She trembled just a bit as she thought of what would likely have happened had he not shown up when he did.
