A long awaited visit.

(Yea lol, for now. I was tired of Sirius Black, but idk who else to put...any thoughts?)

"What? Oh...yea." Topher said trying to hide what was truly on his mind. Now was not the time to show Gin what was really on his mind. "What else have you been up to since I last saw you?" he asked in order to change the subject "It has been a long while it seems."

(I've always pictured him as a brunette.. maybe Chris Evans or.. Bryan Greenberg! xD)

Ginevra could respect his need to not say whatever was on his mind, but she would be worried until she found out, if she ever actually did. So putting it to the back of her mind the best she could, Ginevra just didn't say anything else on the matter, even if it was quite a challange. "Taking care of family, running.. I was with Darren a lot." she mused, and though she had been trying to avoid thinking about Darren, it was easy to say she was kidding herself even trying. She cared too much about him to actually just not think about him- like Topher and Freddy, as well. They all were always in her head, never to be forgotten. "What about you?" he had been the one who was gone for longer, or so it seemed, so he had to have somewhat of a good answer.

"Well..." Topher said. He was supposed to lie about the fact that he was on an Order mission. Supposed to tell everyone his Dad had gotten sick and he had to attend to him. But he felt that he could trust Gin with the truth. "I feel I can trust you, so here goes. I was on an Order mission. There has been another outbreak, or was. We stopped it up, for now." he wasn't trying to bring the mood down. "But that is beside the point. I am here now, here for you." he said. This is where he was happiest.

Ginevra did know about the Order mission, or at least she had guessed about it. Being around the Death Eaters for that while had helped her out with that. She also was just able to tell as a few members of the Order were known to her already for when they had to battle, which she had hated but either way, had to play along with just so that she wouldn't have looked like a fake. She just hadn't killed- at least any of her friends. Frowning at the thought, she hid it so that he wouldn't see her expression and turned it expressionless. That was the best she was going to be able to do, she could tell that already. "You didn't get hurt, did you?' She wasn't concerned about what it had to do with, as long as he was okay. Never would she want something to happen to him, especially if she wasn't there to protect him. Yes, to protect him instead of the other way around. Ginevra always felt like that, as she thought she didn't need protection- which truthfully, most of the time she didn't, but not always. It was just easy to be herself and think others, even if a majority were her guy friends, still needed her to be there just incase.

Smiling when his point was put across though, she blushed as she seemed rather happy with the fact that right now, at this moment, he was with her. Darren had never acted like that, or even said anything like that. Why was it so different? Why did she like it, or at least the sound of what he was saying? Shaking her head mentally, there was no way she was going to get herself into actually thinking about this. If she did, Ginevra knew that every single class she went through would consist of this subject distracting her. She didn't want distractions, even if with distractions her marks wouldn't change. It was just this particular subject, as she wasn't one to like talking or thinking about it. Something about it got to her in a not-so-pleasant way because she knew what she felt, and knew that it was near impossible to ever make her change, especially since she didn't want too. "You know I will always be here for you as well, right Toph?" Ginevra asked him, her eyes on his, serious but the smile still faintly present.

Topher nodded his head. He didn't feel like breaking the silence. He kept his eyes on hers, as she did his. He loosened his grasp on her after a bit, not wanting to let her go, but at the same time not wanting to suffocate her. In a way, he felt like laying down, most likely to the side, but he wasn't sure how do to this action without making it awkward, so he just stayed where he was. At the same time he also wanted to kiss her, that had been on his mind since he had started talking to her. He hadn't had feelings like he had for her, for any other girl. But he didn't want to ruin the friendship they had. And he was to shy to make such a move.

Ginevra was always oblivious to any sort of feelings anyone had towards her, because she had never consentrated her time on it before. Seriously, she had focused her time on everything except for love. She had her first kiss because she had been very thankful for being saved from a house. That was also back when she had been vulnerable. The kiss was still memorable though, and it would stay that way in her mind forever. Most girls rarely wanted to forget their first kisses- it was just how they were, whether they liked to admit it or not. Looking right back into his eyes, no words broke the silence, but a gust of wind that blew her long, blonde hair into her face, blocking her sight. Laughing, she had to say that it was sure not something she had expected. Wow. What great timing for mother nature.

Topher chuckled. His hair was below the ears, and his bangs were almost as low as the bottom of his nose. It didn't really blow like Gin's did. "Let me help you out there." he said gently brushing her hair out of her face. "There ya go." he said grinning.

The feel of his hand moving her hair sent somewhat of a shock through her body. Smiling, she had a natural blush appearing upon her cheeks, flushing them because of the wind speed hitting them- or at least that was what she was telling herself was the cause. "Oh! I'll help you too." she told him, snickering as she moved his little strings of hair with her finger. They couldn't actually be moved, they were far too short to blow like hers; this was a good thing, as guys couldn't really pull off long hair. At least Topher would not be the type to grow longer hair.. she hoped.

"Thanks" Topher said laughing quietly. While Gin's hands were still on his face, Topher leaned in towards her face, making eye contact, noses centimeters apart. He was not sure if he should kiss her, so he didn't go any farther in, and figured she would show some sign of whether or not to go through with the deal or not.

Ginevra couldn't really believe what was happening. She could feel Topher leaning in as he moved, but at first she had just thought that he was doing something else- a few seconds later she was sure he wasn't. He was going to kiss her, but he had stopped right in front of her face just incase she didn't want him too. Well, did she want him too? Darren ran through her mind, and the love she had for him. But that was just so complicated, and she knew that she did love Topher. In which way, that was the part she didn't know. Never had she been able to actually unravel the mystery, since she didn't allow herself to think about it- ever. Looking right back to him, she couldn't do it, she couldn't get him into her life more because everyone who did end up in her life, ended up dead sooner or later. She didn't want that to happen to Topher. No. The thought made her cringe. "I don't want to hurt you." she told him, frowning as she whispered the words out.
