((Note: Diagon Alley is where the thread will end up which is why I'm starting it here though the beginning actually takes place in Wendelring))
Staring in the mirror, Rael couldn't believe what she was wearing. Honestly, she didn't think things like this really happened, sure her relationship with Charon had been pretty easy, which had only made it easier to leave in the scheme of things when she was forced to by her mother's reasoning. But this? Getting ready for a real life date? Not just going to the bar for a drink, or hanging out at a pick-up Quidditch game, but actually going to a sit down restaurant, free of children, one-on-one date. It was pretty amazing, even for Rael's say so.
Just the fact she had been asked was altogether almost overwhelming. In a way, she had been waiting for it to happen, for those words to escape his mouth, but she hadn't thought it would really take place. And when it did, well... what could she do other than smile and hold back all enthusiasm to say yes? Her mother had taught her to not answer right away, and as much as she hated her mother, she couldn't help but act as she was raised to and wait a second of hesitation before answering.
Obviously the answer she had given was "yes". Why else would she be standing in front of her mirror, staring at the girl looking back at her? The girl was wearing a slimming black halter dress, the hem reaching to just below her knees, and a pair of tall heels she hardly ever wore adorned her feet. The look was simple with her hair pulled back into an elegant twist. First date material if she did say so herself.
Now was the hard part, waiting for her date to arrive without looking too eager to see him when he arrived at her door, but not looking too bored waiting for him either. Make-up was applied and her hair was perfect so that was taken care of. Rael had decided on no jewelry being as it was a first date, and her clutch was just long enough to conceal her wand and a bit of money as well as her tube of lipstick in case she needed a retouch.
Sighing as she looked into her reflection, she hoped this would go over well. While she was eagerly looking forward to spending time alone with him, at the same time, she didn't want anything between them to change either. The once Gryffindor enjoyed his company and though she was highly attracted to him didn't want anything to be awkward in case this dating didn't work out for them.
