This was going to be a Vacation

Christy couldn't help but burst out laughing at him pointing out that it was cologne. She about fell off of the bed she was laughing so hard. Her laugh was almost musical but she didn't care. She would laugh til she was blue in the face since she hadn't had a good laugh in what felt like forever. "Silly Daniel didn't...you...smell...it...before you...drank it?" she asked still laughing tears falling from her face as she did so.

As she started to calm down from it she looked over at Emil, "I can apparate, and pretty well too." she said smiling. "It won't be a problem for me to take one person with me, however another and I might have some difficulties." She had apparated her 'adopted daughter' with her a lot. Cristina was the cutest three year old she had ever seen and she wondered if they would see her today.

"No....It was in a deceiving bottle and I'm tired" Daniel frowned. He didn't find it funny one bit, and he just sat on the bed and sulked. Emil kept chuckling until he turned purple, then he had to stop. He enjoyed a good laugh at the expense of Daniel, but not when he did it too much. That'd be just mean, and he didn't want to be that way.

"Daniel, can you apparate?" Emil asked after having his fill of laughs. Daniel nodded, but he needed a vision of the place he was going to. Otherwise, he may not get there.

"As long as you tell me what the place looks like, I'll come with you", he replied.

Emil smiled, "As long as you don't mistake a cologne factory with a brewery".

Christy grew straight faced holding in a giggle seeing that Daniel was upset she was laughing, "I'm sorry but that was honestly funny Daniel. I'm pretty sure cologne and whiskey smell completely different from each other...but hey at least your breath will smell great."

"Um you know that giant white castle in the middle of the mountains in Germany?" she asked looking at him curiously. "The one the muggles used to base Cinderella's castle in Disney World from?" she asked knowing that would be the best way to describe it. "Thats where we'll be going and I promise I'll give you some really good firewhiskey for making me laugh like that."

"Oh okay! I can envision that just great! Thanks! Oh, and make sure you can keep that promise of firewhiskey, otherwise I'll be on your back like a monkey" Daniel said, closing his eyes. He suddenly disappeared from the hotel room. He ended up in the castle, and he waited for the others.

"It sounds like a nice place," Emil said, he smiled when he held Christy's hand. "Are you sure I'm not too big to apparate?" He was genuinely concerned; a little girl was one thing, but a fully grown man was quite another. He looked over at her, as if expecting an answer.

Christy laughed, "Don't worry there will be a container of it in the library when you get there." she said smiling as she turned to Emil. "Now you need to stop worrying so much." she said laughing, "I'm a pro at apparating, I usually just apparate Cristina around but I can apparate adults too." she couldn't help but think it was sweet that he was worried about her being able to manage and she stood on her tip toes to try to kiss him on the cheek.

"Just please hold on." she said as she pulled out her wand and aparated into the exact same room that Daniel was in. "See I told you I could manage." she said now that they were surrounded wall to wall from floor to ceiling with books. The room itself was huge and a normal person probably wouldn't know where to start first. "You find the firewhiskey ok?" she asked Daniel looking at him with a grin.

Daniel looked around, trying to find the whiskey. "Where is it?" He asked, before he found something of interest. No, it wasn't alcohol, it was a book. He skimmed over the pages of the book, finding something interesting. It was a spell which, when done to firewhiskey, made it stronger. He wanted to try it out so badly, but he couldn't find what he was looking for. He realized he was still in his pajamas, which embarrassed him.

Emil laughed softly. The ride was fun, and he felt safe apparating with the love of his life. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her in for a kiss. He liked this woman, and he'd be damned if he couldn't show it as often as he could.

Christy pointed over to a table that had the crystal decanter, "Oh no Daniel it doesn't need that spell." she said laughing, "I mean unless you really wanna get drunk on one glass." she said laughing a little as Emil pulled her in for a kiss. She kissed him back smiling. She hadn't been with someone like that in a while who wasn't afraid to show how they felt around other people and it was nice.

"So was apparating alright?" she asked looking at him wrapping her arms around him again. She didn't know if he had ever apparated before so it could be a weird feeling a first if you weren't used to it.

"Alright, but I don't really want to use up all your firewhiskey to get wasted. The spell would prevent me from draining your entire decanter. That is, unless you want me to do that" Daniel said, performing a milder version of the spell on the firewhiskey. He downed the glass and went back to the decanter for more. He was really putting it away, and he was no lightweight, either.

"Apparating is okay, it feels more or less like a carnival ride than anything else. Kinda fun, too", Emil replied. He looked over to Daniel, who drained half the decanter. "Had enough there, Daniel?"

"One more glass full, then I will have enough".

Christy looked at the two of them, "Its not like I don't have lots more." she said laughing a little, "Without Godric and my father around..." she trailed off looking sad for a minute. She hadn't really talked about her father dying much and now she was in here where she had spent a lot of time with him...it was also the room where they thought he had been killed. There was even still a stain by the desk of his blood that just wouldn't come up. "Well anyways right now I'm the only one in the house that drinks it on occasion and its the good stuff too."

She looked back at Emil and smiled, "Just wait til you start to learn it." she said laughing. "It feels like your body is being pulled in different directions at first until you get used to it." She moved over to a book shelf. "I think this has the spell we need in it." she said bringing the book over to the sofa that Emil was standing beside as she sat down and started looking through the book.

"Oh really? If it's that painful, I'm game!" Emil said, eager. He walked over to the sofa with his beloved, and snuggled close to her. "That looks very complex, do you know how to perform it well enough for the both of us, and Daniel?" He inquired, trying to make conversation. That book looked quite big to Emil, despite him being so tall. The words in it seemed to come in many bunches, to expose him as almost illiterate. His head nearly spun.

Daniel looked into the decanter, it was empty by the time he was done. "Firewhiskey is very delicious, and it gives a nice buzz", he said. He smiled warmly, and his body swayed a little bit. He was obviously drunk. So much so that he nearly fell over. However, he didn't feel drunk. Instead he just felt...okay.
