Thread: Bombs Fall, Witches Burn (TheSilentProtagonist and Vi)

Draco furrows his brow but gets up and follows Eloise anyways. He has to admit that he ends up staring a bit as she lifts herself up to get whatever is on the shelf. Well, he is only human, and muggle or not, the girl is very nice to look at. He quickly turns away though before anyone could notice him staring. That would be the last thing he needs, he thinks to himself. He doesnt want to imagine how immature Alex would be about the whole thing not having picked up that his traveling buddy is trying to make it all arranged. Back in the room, the blonde wizard rubs his temple. Reading is absolutely not his idea of fun. Is books the only way to see this? He asks with a bit of annoyance. What about those theater pictures that Alex was telling me about, how you muggles invented it for entertainment. Do you have any of those that I can look at instead? The bedroom is small. He cant even say he looks around in it since it seems everything is in his line of sight. When Elloise climbs onto the bed, he starts to open his mouth to ask where his room will be before closing it. Only two beds, so one belonged to Luna and the other Well, he wasnt about to sleep in Loony Lunas room, he tells himself. Yes, that is his goal to avoid, nothing else. Getting onto the mattress silently, he sits next to Eloise, keeping a bit of distance between them. So, what was that you picked up anyways? He asks, not having gotten a good look at the object and wanting to make conversation. Draco had never had trouble talking to girls before, but then, hed always had his name and his prestige to back him up. Wait, what is he even thinking? Shes a muggle. That would be completely unimportant, he tries to remind himself. Hes better than that now, and in this day and age, with so few people remaining, the difference was becoming much less important. If Alex hadnt been paying so much attention to how Luna was looking at him, he might have turned and stared at Ellie as well. That would have been rude though, so he takes the self control route and keeps his eyes on the blonde witch, telling the other two people good night when they head off to the room. Noticing that the battery seems to be getting heavier and harder to control, the black haired wizard focuses his energy to push it back the way he wants it to go. Where was this extra force coming from, he wonders. Alex shakes his head. Well, I could tell something was adding resistance to the battery, but I thought it was my own power waning or something. He admits. When Luna mentions the talking, he starts to prod the field again, even if he cant physically touch it. Maybe you can still talk to it, you know? He mutters, mostly thinking out loud. Like, what if you need to mix both to make it do what you want. Levitating is easy, but the other stuff, well youll kind of need to make suggestions on what it will do, wont you? Alexs smile grows when Luna grabs his hand. He lets her guide it for a bit before she realizes what shes doing. He chuckles softly. Had the witch really become so caught up in this that she hadnt noticed the two leave? Well, he cant blame her. Hes gotten caught up in similar ways before. I never read the books. He admits. I watched the TV show though. I swear, every girl I know went mad for Benedict Cumberbatch. The last bit is muttered with some annoyance, clearly glad to not have to deal with that bit anymore. Noticing the tilt in Lunas head and how she starts to blush, Alex is now curious whats going through her head. His smile turns into a smirk as he moves over to sit next to her, working to keep as many of the batteries levitating as he can. If theyre all close together, it becomes simple enough. Their fields overlap, essentially letting him move them as one object instead of needing to put attention into each one. He brings his hands up, trying to use each finger to manipulate a different battery with varying degrees of success before finally just letting them drop. Lying back while sitting next to the witch, Alex has his eyes closed. Hmm, well, it would be cool if I can do it. Basically turn this thing into my own special sort of wand, I guess. He explains to Luna. I dont expect it to happen easily, but if I can do it, then that would make travels a lot safer. This field thing might actually help matters, as soon as I figure out how to do something other than levitation. Opening his eyes, he turns to Luna with a smile on his face. Thanks for your help. It was really kind of you.
