This was going to be a Vacation

She kissed Emil back and then Hugged him tightly as he hugged her replying to her cousin, No he doesn't, I think you just make him nervous. she said smiling as she turned around to face them keeping Emil's arms wrapped around her. "Don't even try to put me to sleep with that damned thing." she said glarring daggers at her cousin. "Delk I will be so angry if you do."

She couldn't help but let out a yawn and lean back into Emil. The song had always put her to sleep no matter what and she hated the fact that he was using it on her now, but to what purpose and what extent?

Emil lifted Christy and laid her on the couch, allowing her to sleep there if she needed to. He curled up and wrapped his arms around her, then kissed her cheek. He ran his fingers through her hair and allowed her to rest with him. He was starting to drift off as well, but not because of the song. He was falling asleep because his beloved was. He already felt some link with her that could hardly be broken.

"Really? I...I'm honored you think of me like that...." Daniel said, feeling dream-like and looking it, too. "I played guitar, but I'm not good at it. Brienne used to want to learn along with me, and made me pick it up more, but since she is busy all the time with school, I can't practice with her like I wanted".

As he played he smiled at Daniel. "You really shouldn't be so taken in by me. I'm only a person after all." with that he winked and abruptly put down the lyre. Cutting off the music before his cousin could fall asleep.

"Sorry, I was just feeling a bit nostalgic. Last time I played the lyre in this study was when I still had Gift." His fingers played over Set's hood and the snake nuzzled into it. The snake seemed to understand his need for comfort more then any human minus maybe Christy. He was not one to take solace in most humans.

"So Daniel, what are you're interests? What do you do for fun?" He shot a glance at Christy and Emil and laughed evilly. Whispering to his snake, Set moved down to the arm table beside him. The chair was big enough for two people, and Godric moved over for Daniel. Offering him a seat by him.

"Emil I'm really going to go to sleep if you keep that up." she said yawning more as she pulled away from him to sit up. She didn't want to fall asleep in here. "I miss Gift." she said with that having been the only snake that was protective of Christy as well. She had only been around Set once and he had nearly bitten her for doing nothing so she was warry of him to say the least.

She sat up looking, "I'd really love to get that potion done Delk." she said looking at him. "You know how I feel when you procrastinate."

Daniel sat by Godrick, and snuggled close to him. "I like to do potions, which is helpful for my sister Brienne. I also like to go hunting with her, she's pretty good at tracking down and killing things. I like playing around with Muggle technology, it's neat how it's like all circuitry. I'm also fond of bubble gum, going for long walks, and music", he stated. He smiled warmly. Godric didn't know why he was so enraptured, perhaps he should explain.

"Well, Godric, I've got a weakness for male Veela. A clinical weakness, which affects me physically and mentally. It all happened when I was in Diagon Alley. At that time, I was in the closet, and very confused about my feelings. Next thing I knew, I ended up in Knockturn Alley. Then, this guy with Veela ancestry put a curse on me and....raped me. Since then, the curse made me weak around your kind. The weird part is, prior to me ending up in Knockturn, the man had been sending me letters threatening to expose my real sexuality. I wasn't sure if he really would do it though. It seems that he tried to though". He started getting teary-eyed.

Emil frowned, "I'm sorry. Both to Christy and Daniel. Sorry for making my beloved nearly fall asleep, and sorry that the mishap with the Veela happened to Daniel."

Godric's disposition darkened. He was pissed off enough that bits of violet could be seen in his eyes.

"Give me his name." he whispered, dark and forbidding. He knew what pain that could cause, had seen it first hand.

"Can you remember the wording of the curse? If so I might be able to make a potion for you." As he said this his arm slipped around Daniel's waist in a sincere embrace. His other hand was already with wand. The tip glowing green with the want to cast the killing curse.

"I swear upon Gift's fangs, this man will pay with more then his life." Godric was not even thinking but his hand was wrapped in a silvery film making his vow an unbreakable one. Swearing on the fangs in his wand it's self. A vow that neither he, nor Gift, even beyond the grave, would stop from fulfilling.

"Christy, you should be more courtesy to our guests. Not to mention my privacy when dealing with potions. You know I don't like to show off." This of course was said with apt laughter at the fact that it was a blatant lie.

"You are such a liar." she said looking at Godric. "You love to show off, though I think you are just trying to act like you are modest." she continued to say before turning her attention to Daniel, "I'm sorry to hear that. Godric you know there is probably a counter curse to undo it right?" she asked looking at her cousin curiously.

"Emil do you want to just give them time to know each other and we can go off and do our own thing until he makes the potion for us?" she asked curiously wanting to give Godric and Daniel some time alone.

Emil nodded, "They need some time alone. What shall we do? Should we just sit outside and look at nature like I've been wanting to do for a long time?" He padded over to the door, his feet hitting the floor in the softest foot-falls a tall man could produce. He didn't feel like expending energy to make major ones.

------

Daniel tried to remember the man's name. "Laeretes...Laeretes Russetford". He couldn't rmember the curse as well as he could the name, but he could still faintly remember. "Breaketh not my reign over thou, mine love slave, or Veela charm shall force thy heart into submission. Or, something akin to that". He looked up at the man, whose eyes were changing, and his hand entangled in film.

(I made up a name and what the guy is, to fit Daniel's back story. I don't have an account for him, nor does anyone else, since he's more or less a one shot character with major influence. And the curse is made up too. Just in case you wondered.)

Godric memorized the name. He only needed it once. The man's life was numbered only in days now. Godric had a mission not for profit, but to free some one from the evil this man spread. He would not make it out of this next week or two alive.

Set felt Godric's emotions and rose up as if to strike, hood fully out. He was giving his consent to this plan even as Godric was making it.

Set settled down knowing now was not the time for the hunt.

Godric put his mind into other places trying to focus his now enraged blood.

A few moments later, Kreaton popped back into the main study. Master Godric, you're Potion's room is set up to your desired specifications. With that he bowed and popped back out.

"Shall we retreat to my private Apothecary then?" He asked with a smile and slipped a slight peck on Daniel's cheek, playfully.

I'm starting on you're potion Christy. Join me if you wish. I'll be in my private Apothecary with Daniel hopefully. He mentally sent her the message.

Christy walked over to the door with Emil and took his hand, "Yeah we can do that." she replied walking out of the door, "We have a really pretty garden here." she said as they started walking down the hall with him. They passed a lot of lavishly done rooms that she just walked past like it was nothing.

"Sorry its really easy to get lost here." she said as they finally reached the staircase. She had heard Godric's message, Only if Emil wants to go with me. she said through their link. Unless you want some alone time with Daniel. she looked over at Emil. "Godric and Daniel are in his apothecary working on the potion right now." she said as she stopped, "Do you want to go there while they work on it or where we were planning on going?" she asked curiously with a smile on her face.
