Indala blushed, but it was hardly noticable in the moonlight streaming in from the open window.
Instead of replying to his compliment she decided to talk about his father.
"So you've seen your father then?" she breathed a sigh of relief and paused.
" I ran into him the other day; when you ran out of the Hospital Wing.
He was on his way to see the Headmistress."
She shifted nervously as she spoke, unsure how he would respond to the
fact that she had met his father without him being there to introduce them.
Ugh, I still can't believe how haughty I was being with him...

William Radcliffe He nodded idly. "I saw him this morning after he went to the place where she was taken from; he said he wanted to see me sooner, but he didn't want to see me without knowing everything." Then his head snapped up and looked at her. "Wait! You saw my father! You met him? Did... did he get mad at you? Or, or, or ask you if you were related to Demetrius?" He didn't sound angry, just nervous. His father meant a lot to him and he wanted his Dad to approve of Indala, but he wanted to make the introduction himself.

Indala nodded as Will spoke about his encounter with Arthur.
When his reaction to her meeting his father without him finally caught up with him,
she began playing with a piece of her hair. "Um, yes. I met him.
He didn't seem mad.
We were both rather ...uh intense I guess you could say.
The conversation did shift to my father for a bit actually.
I'm not sure what he thought, but he asked me not to tell you
that I had seen him until he could gather more information."

William RadcliffeWill nodded and released a breath he didn't realize he had been holding in, letting his head drop to Indala's shoulder. "That's my Dad," he said, a smile crossing his face. He put his arms back around her and pulled her into a good hug. Then he looked up at her, still smiling. "He probably had the same reaction as me and Tammy when he heard your name. Oh man, I only wish I could have seen his face. I'm kinda sad because I wanted to introduce you to him myself, but I'm glad that he didn't hate you." He leaned in closer to her, looking for a kiss.

She relaxed a little as Will did.
" Yea, his reaction was generally the same actually," she laughed.
" However, I didn't really get a chance to defend myself.
Mostly he just looked very confused and distracted, as a father should be when his daughter is kidnapped."
Indala hugged him back.
When Will leaned down for another kiss Indala gave him a playful peck and then turned to look out the window.
"Will, what will you be doing over the summer?"

William RadcliffeHe smiled when she gave him a peck kiss and looked out the same window she was looking out, curious if there was anything there. "Well, this summer we were supposed to go to America, but with Tamara... Well, I don't know. We might stay home this summer. It'd be the first time I can remember that we'd stayed home. Why? What about you?" he asked, shifting his eyes from the window to her face. He hoped to see the sparkle in her eyes that always seemed to captivate him.

Instead of the sparkle that the outdoors normally brought to her eyes, there was a dim sadness.
" Uh, I dunno really. I suppose I will be going back home, but it's been so long since I've heard from father.
I don't even know if he is there right now."
Grey manor was a very big place to be by oneself.
Trying to lighten the mood she had dampened she smiled reassuringly at him.
"America seems like it would be so interesting. I've never been able to travel much. That was always Fathers job."

William RadcliffeWill smiled to Indala. "Hey maybe you could come to London and spend some time with us. I'm sure my parents would love to have you over, and now that you met my dad, I think you'll understand why. Oh my mom..." He paused, realizing now that his dad never mentioned how his mom was handling Tamara's disappearance and he definitely would have. "... my mom doesn't know that Tamara went missing." His face fell for a moment as he considered writing a letter to his mother to let her know the situation. He looked like he was going to start tearing again for a moment, then stopped. He shook his head and looked at Indala again. "Sorry, I drifted into a bad place. I guess Dad didn't tell Mom because she'd worry too much. What was I saying?"

Indala smiled as will dreamed about her coming to
London to visit though she knew that would never happen as long as her father were around.
Perhaps they could devise some way of tricking him into letting her go for a day or so.
Watching Will closely she noticed his smile floundered as he spoke about his mother.
She bit her lip. "I would hate to see how she reacts when she learns about all of this.
Its okay, I don't mind listening. Sometimes people just need to vent."
She smiled sweetly at him and continued,
" You were talking about meeting in London..."

William RadcliffeWill nodded, remembering the conversation they were having before he mind traveled off the beaten path. "As I was saying, we could find a way to get you out to us. I'm sure my parents would be more than willing to help, especially now that Dad knows you and what you're dealing with at home. And Mum loves having people over."

She wasn't so sure that Arthur would help, nor did she completely believe
that they would be able to fool her father, but she let it rest not wanting to
upset Will anymore than he already was.
Indala turned back to him, away from the window she had been looking out of, and grabbed both of his hands in hers.
She smiled genuinely up at him, looking deep into his eyes.
"That would be lovely Will. I'll be looking forward to it."
A slight blush rose to her cheeks as she realized that he was offering for her to meet his entire immediate family.
Within the dark arts families, the official meeting with an intended's family was one of the last steps in the courting ritual before marriage.
She knew that this wasn't that serious, they were only eleven after all; heck they weren't even technically dating.
But hey, a girl can dream...
, she thought with juvenile hope.

William RadcliffeHe smiled, holding her hands and looking into her eyes. She was helping him through this hard time, and this whole year they had been really close. He really liked her and she seemed to honestly like him. They had already kissed multiple times. Oh, why is this so hard! he thought to himself, butterflies knocking against his stomach. He drew in a deep breath and looking into her eyes, smiling. "This is so the worst time to do this but I can't keep lying to myself. I really really like you. Like, I like like you. A lot." He smiled sheepishly and broke eye contact, looking down at the ground and scratching the back of his head. "So, uh, I was, uh, I was wondering if... you... you'd... want to be my girlfriend?"

Adrenaline pumped through her veins, making her heart race and a blush to rise in her cheeks.
She looked away too, staring at the floor as images of Vox and her father rushed through her mind.
Quickly she suppressed them.
Will knows what he's getting into, she reasoned to herself.
Besides, It's not like I know everything about him either.
We have plenty of time to be together and I REALLY want this.
She looked back up at Will who was still turned away.
A smirk formed on her face and her blue eyes sparkled with excitement and joy.
"Well, William Wallace Radcliffe," she bent from the hip to place her face
where his eyes were directed to the ground so that they would be upon her,
and smirked up at him flirtatiously. " You are quite the charmer."
For a second she simply looked into his eyes.
"Of course I want to be your girlfriend, nothing would make me happier."
She stood up slowly and put her arms around him, her heart and mind still rushing.
Taking his face gently in her hands she kissed him, happy to finally be able to call him her boyfriend.

William RadcliffeWill smiled and allowed her to pull him into a kiss after agreeing to become his girlfriend. After they brought the kiss, he nuzzled his nose against hers, smiling happily. "Indala Eve Grey, I'm happy to call you my girlfriend." As if answering her thoughts, he added, "Whatever your father can throw at you, we'll face it together, okay?" He asked, kissing her again.

Indala smiled kissing him again, her heart skipping a beat when he nuzzled her nose with his.
When they broke away she nodded sweetly biting her lip.
"We better get back to the common room,
just in case they get more information about your sister and come looking for you."
She continued smiling at him and took his hand, intertwining her slender fingers in his.
"But before we go...," she stood on her tiptoes and gave him another peck on the lips.
