As much as she liked just being where she was with him, nestled into him the way she was, she did kind of want to see the show, even if they had missed the beginning. With Lucas it had been fun, but she was sure with Drew it would be stupendous.
Pulling back from his neck, but keeping her body close to him she shook her head. "I want to go. It would be really nice to see it with you," she smiled up at him. "And really, even with as nice as this is, I think it's all right to stop for now."
Not that Felicity really wanted to, what she wanted was to stay right there and curl into him, but it just seemed a bit impractical. Therefore, she didn't mind going, and that way if her dad asked about it later, she wouldn't have to show the horrible liar she was and would be able to tell him all about it this time around.
Not backing away from, taking her arms down, or anything, she just waited to see what he said. He'd pretty much told her he wanted to go, but if she got to spend a moment longer being that close to him, she wasn't going to argue or just back away on her own accord.

"I could probably stay here and kiss you all night," Drew said softly, capturing up her lips with his own. It was corny, yes, but no less true. He didn't even think he would have to worry about getting cold.
And yes, he had also thought along the same lines as she had. If anyone asked "So what did you guys do at the Festival?" it would probably be good to have something else to say besides snogging.
"The show isn't that long. We could probably continue this bit a little later, huh?" he asked hopefully.

A soft giggle was Felicity's response as he kissed her, she really didn't mind the prospects of such things, even if there was no possible way of it happening.
"I don't think you could if you tried," she teased him, giving him a light kiss back. "For one, it'd get awfully cold out here and for two I think my mum and dad would come to find me." Both were a matter-of-fact statements, though the latter was also a warning of sorts to not let her, or himself, forget that she had to be home by eight o'clock.
"Yeah?" she asked, wriggling her eyebrows and trying to be seductive, but her giggle getting in the way before she kissed him again. "We probably could continue later, huh?" she asked him for good measure and pulling her arms down from around his neck.
"Have you seen the show?" she asked, grabbed his hand and pulling him out towards the Festival.

Drew let himself be led along, folowing after her as she weaved her way through the crowd. He wasn't too concerned with how it might have looked, walking behind her like a puppy on a leash. His mind was more on finishing the snog later.
"No, not much of it," Drew answered her. "I saw a bit of it just to check it out but everyone I talked to said it was pretty neat." He didn't say, but he had wanted to save it for her even if he figured she had seen it with Lucas before.

Of course Felicity saw it with Lucas, that was really a good part of why they had gone to the Festival, actually a good part as to why anyone went, and she wondered why he had only seen a little of it. When her eyes had caught sight of it all lit up, she had been ecstatic about it. Then again, she hadn't seen as much of it as she would've liked to, they hadn't gotten the greatest spot and were unable to push too far forward to see all, but she had been able to see a good chunk of it, and she'd loved it.
Once more it seemed she wouldn't be able to see a good amount of it, but it didn't bother her too badly, really she didn't mind at all. Yes, they'd missed the beginning, but it was still going on. And, she was holding Drew's hand, so it didn't matter if she only got to see the very tail end of it.
"It's really pretty," she told him. "But, I think the fairy lights along the shoppes are my favourite part." No, it wasn't the most glamorous part, it wasn't even a real part of it all, as they were strung up there the entire time, but she liked the effect of them best.

Their pre-show activites had cost them a good spot to view the show and while Drew wasn't too upset about paying that particular price, it was still kind of a bummer. He could still see pretty well over the heads of the crowd, but he didn't think Felicity could. Yeah, he wanted to see it, and sure she already had, but it still didn't seem all that fair.
"Wanna boost up?" he asked her, crouching down to give her a better vantage point. They were far enough back that he really didn't think they'd be blocking too many people if he got her on his shoulders.

Of course Drew would be able to see it, as tall as he was and all, and really he was the one who deserved the chance to see it. It was her fault they missed the beginning, missed the chance at getting a good spot, so as long as he could see, which Felicity believed only a true giant or a troll would get in the way of Drew being able to see the lights, she was content enough to just hold his hand and stand on tip-toe to see what she could.
But, giggling as she was prone to do sometimes, she couldn't believe he was offering her the chance to climb on his shoulders. It was bad enough she was constantly getting on his back, he was bound to find himself even more hurt than normal if he kept letting her do that. On his shoulders? Felicity wasn't as small as a child, and while she was still on the smaller side, she still weighed in at a good amount.
Biting her lip, she was quite tempted. If she were boosted up, the Gryffindor would be able to see the show, much more than she had when she was with Lucas. But, she didn't want him to be sore because of her.
"You wouldn't mind?" she asked to be sure.

Drew was tall but he wasn't very broad. Still, he had been swinging a beater's bat around for the last five years so hoisting a normal-sized girl up probably wasn't going to injure him any.
And in all honesty, why would he mind? Granted, he wouldn't be able to kiss her like he had been thinking earlier, but she would still be awfully close, right? Besides, they were going to finish the kissing bit later...
He gave one of his legs a pat, signaling that it was ready for her to use as a step and the other he held out to hoist her up. She'd have the best seat in the house.

Felicity knew what patting meant, that had been discussed a while back, and while she knew it to mean come closer, she also knew what it meant in this sense. Though, the blonde still wasn't sure about it, extremely afraid of how sore he was going to be in the morning because of her. First, jumping on his back, and now climbing onto his shoulders? If her parents ever found out she went around doing such things to him, they'd probably sit her down and talk to her about jumping on him and taking up his offers to climb on him.
But, it was tempting enough she couldn't resist, plus, he was giving her the signal.
Smiling widely, she gingerly placed one foot on his leg and made sure her hand was secure in his before putting her weight on him and swinging her other leg over his shoulder, much like she would hoist herself onto a horse.
With the leg secure around him, she brought her other up into place and prayed he wouldn't get hurt because of it.

There was a split second there when he thought he was going to drop her and they both would topple into the crowd that they had come up behind. He made a grab for her thigh with his free hand and steadied them both just as she had settled into place. He gave a small hitch just to get a better grip on her before ginning up at her.
"How's that?" he asked, thinking it was kind of cool having her up there.

Felicity didn't feel the possible topple, and it had kind of surprised her that he'd grabbed her thigh like that, but it didn't bother her. After all, it was her leg, it wasn't her bum. And, she didn't mind his hand being there at all, it was actually kind of nice.
Being on his shoulders was interesting, to say the least. It made her feel really young, and she already did with him sometimes, with the way he spoiled her and how she was so easily confused. To be truthful, she hadn't been on someones shoulders since she was around the age of ten, or possibly eleven, so it'd been a few years.
"I feel like I'm five," she told him with grin. "But I think it's all right, for now." The blonde was still concerned he was going to be hurt. "Are you all right with it?"

"I'm good," Drew answered, now that he had regained his balance. She was bigger than his little cousins who usually perched up there and the center of gravity was a little different than from when he played chicken fight in the pool, but it wasn't bad.
He could hear the music and see the lights, but most of his focus was on the girl on his shoulders instead of the show. That was his girlfriend up there and knowing that was the best feeling he could have at the moment.

Felicity actually felt like a giant, even more so than when she was younger and her dad used to put her on his shoulders. She always felt like one being on Drew's back, but now that she was boosted up even higher than usual, it was hard not to feel like she was a giant. The girl was up more than a foot higher than she was when she was standing on her own two feet, it was definitely different, but nice.
And on top of that, she could see the lights without someone's head being in the way, much like if she tried to get comfortable in the muggle movie theater, there was always someone who was that small bit too tall and she'd have to sit up in order not to have their head in the way.
Also, with being a bit higher in the air than he was, she could easily run her fingers through his hair without having to stretch, which of course, she did.
"So, do you like it so far?" she asked. They were closing in on the end of it, but it hadn't been bad.

When she started playing with his hair, Drew decided he liked the show an awful lot, though he probably woulnd't be able to tell anyone what his favorite part was. There was some song or other playing and some red and green. A bit of purple and blue here and there. But mostly Felicity on his shoulders playing with his hair.
"Uh huh..." he answered, knowing the end was coming up so he better pay attention. With his luck, Mr. Hjort would ask about it and he'd have nothing to say to the man.

Being as she'd already seen the show, and it hadn't seemed to change much, other than the fact she could actually see it, Felicity didn't mind not paying attention to it. It wasn't as though she'd be able to tell her parents Drew had let her climb onto his shoulders, so if she didn't see anymore than what had already been displayed for her, she really didn't think they'd think anything of it.
But, even though she kept up glances between Drew and the lights, she had to admit, he was a much nicer sight than any of the display being put forth, even if all she could really see was the top of his head. It was saddening to her to know time was running out, and there wouldn't be much time left to spend with him there.
