Was she sizing him up, with all these questions?
...he could help but be hopeful.
"Well, other than what my parents have already saved up for the tuition, not really. Other than buying food for myself. Which is easy enough."
He gave a shrug. "As for the being better, I have really no frame of refrence yet, but if they allow one to make a living, either one would be great, right?"
He frowned that they wouldn't let her do the job and he bit his lip, fighting back what he really wanted to say. Later, perhaps. Let's not be hasty.
Hasty, right. You've bee fighting this since fourth year, idiot.
"Maybe not that exactly." He gave a wry grin. "But there is something like it in the muggle world... just not dealing with so many dangers. Travel journalist appealed to me, where I would travel and visit many places in the world."
And take you with me.. he added on, mentally.

He shook his head with a slight grin.
"Well, one would go to college to gain knowledge to be ablle to find a better job... to earn money."
He sighed. "But it takes money to go to college, though my parents already have that saved up."
He shrugged. The option sounded good to him honestly. Better job, more money, better able to provide for a wife...
Oh, there he was again, especially looking at her.
His face darkened.
"Well, I do like adventure, so there might be something for me in curse breaking -- though that might be more under Gringotts; but there's always Aurors... but that's a lot of dangerous work."

He smiled at her and her reassurance. He really wished it didn't mean anything different. He forced himself not to sigh.
"Uhm, well. I supposed I narrowed it down to a few... like perhaps a muggle college? It's too bad there's not any higher education than Hogwarts for the magical world, huh?"
He scratched the back of his head. "Or maybe just get married and work some job at the ministry."
It sounded so mundane...
Well, the job at the ministry part, that is. The getting married, not so much. At least he had a canidate in mind for that -- no, he couldn't do that. Ugh. Stop with that train of thought, right now.

His heart thumped in his chest.
He smiled, softly. "I do try to be, Dawn. There's not a lot for a muggleborn to be but awesome."
He chuckled at that, looking at the hand she just squeezed.
"Well, they do... but," he sighed, lightly. "I guess I've been lost in thought. It's our last summer as student, you know? I... haven't really decided on what to do... after."
And for a lot of things, he mused to himself, another sigh.

He grimaced at her response and without thinking, reached out to grab her wrist. "Dawn, I'll protect you. You can count on that."
Determination was set in his eyes, at least until he realized what he was doing and pulled his hand away. Not quickly, just... slowly. His face darkened.
"My summer was good," at her insistence that he went somewhere, he shook his head. "I didn't! Really! I... you caught me while I was thinking of something. We didn't go anywhere. I swear."

Suddenly as if thinking of her made her appear, she appeared in front of him... well, okay, slightly to the side of him, out of a compartment and flagged him down.
He slipped into the compartment as she insisted; sitting down and placing his stuff next to him a brow raised.
Ah. Right. Pureblood things he didn't quite understand... or like, really. Forcing her to do things instead of giving her a choice. And then he was reminded of why he'd been so hesitant to say anything... he didn't want to cause her trouble. Or take her away from her family. But... wouldn't them marrying her off just push her away anyway?
Ugh. He just didn't understand anything at all, no matter how much he researched.
All he wanted was for her to be happy. But could that be with him? A muggleborn boy?
He gave her a rueful smile, "hopefully they just think you're as pretty as I do."

Connor had borded the train, looking around.
Was it fuller than it had been the last year? Had there suddenly been an influx of children?
He thought on this a long moment, trying to add it up and shook his head. No way. So why did it feel like more people? The graduating class from last year hadn't been that huge, either. Who knew.
Either way, he was on the hunt for someone, his Dawn. Knowing she usually boarded early, he had actually gotten up early and hassled his parents to drop him off earlier than normal in previous years. It was the last year of course...
...and he would say something this year.
...hopefully.

He heard the tease and pouted, hugging her tightly. "If you're worried about how I am when I'm set on something -- you'll need not to worry, dearest Dawn. I'll figure out your puzzle."
He chuckled. "Practicing? No. Just... I guess it's just natural with you. Easy. we trust each other."
He shook his head, "nothing to apologise for. I don't know all that much. It's one of the things we can learn together, Dawn."
He sighed, with a groan. "Fine. Homework it is!"

He shook his head with a chuckle.
"I would like to think I am not so simple minded..."
Given I wasted four years on avoiding you!
She was definitely poking at his curiosity. A damn Ravenclaw trait that really should be worked on for him.
"I won't," he vowed quietly, smiling softly, his cocky grin gone.
She leaned in and kissed him and he grinned warmly. His hands rose to cup her cheeks, lifting her head slightly as he slanted his lips over hers.
When he pulled away, his eyes locked with hers.
"I love you, Dahlia; my Dawn. I do. More than I could ever put into words... so I hope my actions from this moment forward prove this to you."

"Scott free? For my idiocy? Never would I expect that, Dawn."
He chuckled with a shake of his head.
He gave her a thoughtful look, "of course its love. Do you think I would've been this stupid to deny you over lust? I thought I had your best intentions in mind!"
A little miffed, his brow rose. What sort of favour would have him sneaking into the girls' dorm? Up to her room? Into her bed?
He gave her a smirk, "you know, I'm not as great at those marauders; but I'll definitely prove to you that I'm true with this task."
And hopefully Flitwick won't murder me.

They'd used so much time, dancing around each other, and he sighed softly, his arms going to wrap around her as she clung to him. He held tightly, still hesitant.
Her too. He'd been an absolute idiot and a git. He wouldn't say blind, but holding back was probably the stupidest thing he'd done.
He had a million things on the tip of his tongue to say but knew better than to say it. Obviously, he had been in error with his thinking. At least with him... she'd be able to see her family, if they wanted to see her, at least. He wouldn't cut her off.
He chuckled his lips near her ear. "Perhaps you should beat me up. Knock some sense into me."
He sighed lightly. "I'm sorry, Daliah, I don't know what more to say--"
Then she started talking about being in the bedroom and he flushed, his grip tightening on her. Bedroom??? What is going through this girls head!
"U-uh, I mean..." he paused a moment, thinking about it. "No. I definitely would not fight you.. in the bedroom. Never. I'd want you too much to fight you."
His hands pulled her towards him, his lips ghosting hers. "I love you too. And I'm glad you love me, even if I have been an idiot." A breath. "How would you like me to rescue you, sweet Dawn?"

Fire and anger were before him, he could tell. He'd done this woman before him so wrong. He felt guilty, ashamed, but boy was he in love with her.
There were few things he could do, to quell her ranting. But one he thought of would make them both happy and quiet.
Her hands were still at his ears, and he said nothing. Carefully, he removed them slowly and let her slide off his back and turned towards her once more, his hands at her hips, his head suddenly dipped down and quieted her ranting with a solid kiss.
After a long moment, he broke the kiss but did not pull away. His forehead on hers. "I'm sorry, Dahlia. I've been an idiot and a git. I didn't want to ignore ire you or the signs, but I did. I'm sorry."
A breath. "I've felt like this awhile now. Fourth, fifth year."

He frowned, apprehensive of what to do.
"What would you have me to, Dawn? Shall we elope after the school year ends?"
Troubled, he drops her hands and turns away from her, moving a few paces away with a sigh.
"But you care about your family. To... pursue this, you would lose them."
He turns towards her again, eyes sad. "I've wanted to tell you, Dahlia. I've been wanting to tell you for so long. I held things back because it would be better for you if you had found...."
A sigh. "I know you can't choose who you fall in love with. But this... this is suicide. I... can't bear to put you through that."

A bittersweet smile finds its way on his face and he gives a shrug.
"Perhaps it's a defensive mechanism. Emotions are hard."
If he hadn't been standing firmly in the mud he more than likely would have been pushed back. He caught her hands, holding them tightly.
"Your brothers are indeed scary... but that's beside the point, Daliah. What sort of guy would only want friendship with a girl as beautiful and wonderful as you? Perhaps I have been holding back."
He looked shy now. Still holding onto her hands, but his face was worried. "I've grown to care deeply for you, Dawn. Beautiful Dawn. But what am I to do? I'm muggleborn. It would be utterly selfish to take you for myself."
