Dan knew that she didn't actually think his joke was funny. It was pretty dumb and he knew that. He was glad that she commented on it, however. That was very polite of her. He snickered in his head at the thought.
"Happiness is the most important thing, for sure. I haven't quite found that special someone yet, but I really don't have time for that right now. Too much to do after graduation." The idea of finding true love freaked Dan out, honestly. He had crushes sure, but they almost always ended up with someone else. It was very clear to Danathon that love wasn't something to be taken lightly, so it was best not to worry about it at all. If he didn't even make time for school work, how would he make time for a girlfriend? He promptly decided that he would be the worst boyfriend ever and it was just best to avoid the situation.
"You should come by the farm sometime, then! Bring Nevan!" Danathon suggested with a large, almost eccentric smile as they stepped through the portrait hole. "I think it will be really good for me. Just what I've always wanted," he spoke softy and honestly.

Adelina smiled and patted Dan on the shoulder when he said he hadn't found that special someone yet. "I'm sure you will some day," she said. "You have a very alluring personality. You will make some lucky girl laugh and often, and laughter is very important." True her personality was a good bit different from Dan's, but she did enjoy his. Adelina liked the idea of visiting the farm, but doubted she and Nevan would unless they got a proper invitation from the owner. She was always one to make sure she was welcomed by all significant parties involved before she went somewhere. "If it is permitted by your employer, perhaps we can," she said. "And I am glad you will enjoy it. I will probably work in the Ministry when I graduate. My Aunt Fleur promised to help me obtain a job there." Adelina figured Dan would know who Fleur Weasley was. Outside of being a Tri-Wizard Tournament legend, she was also frequently at Hogwarts to reverse magical accidents. DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

He was surprised when she patted him on the shoulder, as he often was whenever someone made physical contact with him. He smiled at her and chuckled softly, "you're very kind, Adelina. I agree that laughter is really good, as you can plainly see." He was glad that she appreciated it as well, especially since he often worried if his dear friend had any fun. She made it very clear now though that laughter was important to her. He hoped Nevan made her laugh, she deserved that.
Dan smiled once again as her cute little proper way of wording things was executed. "I'll see what I can do once, and if, I get more comfortable on the farm and with the staff," he promised. "Big dreams there, A! What kind of job do you want there?" Dan thought that was nice of her aunt to help her get a job at the ministry. He could probably study muggle veterinary arts if he wanted to, but he was more interested in helping magical creatures, which was why he had such an interest in the farm.
"So, is it weird that your dad married his old tri-wizard competitions sister?" he asked with a laugh. He couldn't imagine being a part of such a popular family. His father knew Harry Potter, but they weren't very close and Dan was okay with that. Fame was more than Dan ever wanted to deal with.

Adelina did beam at the idea of seeing a Hippogriff Farm. She adored the creatures, among a number of other creatures. "I hope something can be arranged," she said. She then thought over what job she wanted in the Ministry. "I'm thinking of working in the Department of Mysteries, but I'm not sure which sub-department yet. Perhaps love research. That's always intrigued me."Adelina then raised an eyebrow as Dan posed an interesting question about her parents. "I hadn't really ever quite thought of it that way," she said. "But I do know they were very much in love before they married, and still are. They are wonderful parents and I've learned a lot from both of them. Sometimes I find it amusing that I ended up going to Hogwarts instead of Beauxbaton or Durmstrang, not that I have been disappointed. Hogwarts has brought some wonderful memories." She then smiled at Dan. "And some wonderful friends too."DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

"I'm sure it'll be fine. You of all people probably know the details of approaching a hippogriff, I think they'd take an extreme liking to you actually." He could really see it, the Hippogriff would probably respect her more than she it, just because of the amazing manners she had. The creatures would see her coming from a distance and probably get down on one knee almost immediately. The thought sounded like the 'griffs would all be proposing to her, though, which made Dan smirk a little.
Dan raised an eyebrow, "aiming even higher than I thought! Love research?" Dan wasn't even sure what they did in that department but he had a lot of thoughts cross his mind and they were all probably grossly inaccurate, he was sure. There was no way love research in the Department of mysteries would be a place where everyone sat in a circle and blew kisses at each other. Nope, nope. He couldn't see Adelina doing anything like that. "Well, what'er floats your boat, I guess." She would be great at whatever she did, he was sure.
"They probably didn't want to show favoritism by sending you to one school and your sister to the other. I'm sure it was a long and complicated discussion for them," he chuckled, it was sweet how much faith she had in her parents marriage and how much she knew they were in love, "I'm glad you came here though." For a moment Dan was serious, as he thought about leaving her at the end of the school year. He shook it off and replaced a smile back onto his face, "friends are the best part, I'd say. Like us!"

Adelina blushed a bit when Dan said Hippogriffs would like her. "Well, I don't know about that, but I would certainly practice the proper etiquette that Hagrid taught us," she said. "I don't know if I could bring myself to fly on one..." She then chuckled. "Though I cannot lie and say I wouldn't enjoy the experience."Adelina rolled her eyes as Dan said "Whatever floats your boat". Once again, it showed how different the two were. "You be careful now about picking on my choice, Dan," she said. "I might develop a love spell and have you falling for every girl on that farm." She was joking of course. Even Adelina could be a tad wicked in a harmless sense of course. Adelina beamed at what Dan said about friends. "I'm inclined to agree," she said. "Some of my finest experiences here have been with friends. I think my sister Ali would agree as well, and is equally glad she was sent here. Have you had any classes with Ali? I don't think I've ever asked you."DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

"That's what I mean, you'd have the proper etiquette down to a tee. I'm really impressed by that," he laughed when she said she wouldn't know about flying one but that she'd enjoy it, who wouldn't? ""Maybe Nevan and you could ride one of the bigger ones together. Assuming that he is okay with Hippogriffs..." he didn't know anything about the boyfriend when it came to animals. He almost didn't want to ask, because if Nevan was some sort of animal hater, than Dan wouldn't be able to think so highly of him as a boyfriend to Adelina. Even though it wasn't his business, he still wanted to like the dude.
Dan raised his hands in surrender at her threat, "Woah, woah, Ad! Love is the last thing I want to worry about this summer." He laughed and lowered his hands to his sides once more, "though, I would be very, very impressed if you could come up with a spell to do that. Multiple targets? That would be really difficult to calculate, I'd think."
He smiled at the mention of Ali, "actually, yeah. Gryffindors and Slytherins often have potions together, but we've never actually spoken until earlier today!" He found it ironic and Adelina asked about her sister on this day in particular, "we both came into the entrance hall completely covered in mud. Well, she wasn't as bad as I was." He laughed.

Adelina was beaming a bit at the idea of a romantic Hippogriff ride with Nevan. "Hmmm, if not, perhaps I could talk him into it," she said with a light laugh. Adelina shook her head at Dan. She knew he was messing with her, and she was him as well, but he did come off as a tad worried Adelina might be serious. She could have been wrong though. "I think I would do more useful things in the department than pick on good friends," she said. "And besides, I found love the normal way and it's been wonderful. I wish all my friends to find love the same way if they haven't already. It's best that way because I feel it lets you know where your heart truly wants."
Adelina raised an eyebrow as Dan talking to Ali for the first time earlier. "Well that's quite a coincidence," she said. "Ali's a wonderful sister. She confuses and worries me at times, but nevertheless I love her dearly."DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

Dan was glad at how stoked Adelina looked about the oh-so-romantic 'griff ride. He laughed, "I think you should. Just tell him it'd be like flying on a cloud! Only... you'd have to hold on and it's actually fairly uncomfortable at first..." Dan made a face by twisting his lips in opposite directions and crossing his eyes. Just making sure to make the situation more hilarious and awkward to picture.
"Geez Ad, do you have to get so deep?" he joked with a half smirk, "but really, that's a really respectable vocation. Especially since you found love in the normal way, you can give a lot of good feedback to how it came about and things like that." Dan thought for a moment about how she said she wished real love like that on all of her friends. Which included him. Part of him wished he wanted that for himself, but his life was so hectic. So... involved with other things. He shook the thought away.
Dan smiled, "that's good! You two are so different yet... similar. She's a little more abrasive than you are though," he chuckled. Ali really was a fun girl to be around, for the short amount of time that he'd met her.

Adelina gave a good laugh at Dan speaking about the Hippogriff ride and what to tell Nevan. "Oh Dan, you are the living end," she said. It was a dated expression, but... this was Adelina. Adelina shook her head again when Dan said she was going deep, though perhaps she was a tad. But then she smiled when he encouraged her regarding her chosen vocation. " I'm glad you approve Dan, and I certainly approve of yours," he said. "You have a love for those beautiful creatures and want to help take care of them. That is amazing."Adelina had to agree that she and Ali were different. She had to because she had known this for much of her life. Ali was the wild child. She was the proper one. But perhaps when it all came to it, the differences helped make them individuals and not in one another's shadow. "Very true," she said. "But the more you get to know Ali, the more you'll see in her. Behind her wild exterior is a big heart."DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

Dan was happy he could make his friend laugh, especially while talking about animals and creatures. He's two favorite things in one conversation. He wasn't quite sure what she meant by the living end, or her expression, so he just chose to laugh along with her. It made sense rather than looking at her puzzlingly.
Dan shrugged at her approval of his life choice, "Awe, it's no big. You love Nevan and want to study it, I love animals. Let's just say..." he smirked, "I'm in a relationship with my animals that came about in a natural way as well. No one forced me into it either." He chuckled again and glanced up at the tall hallway ceiling wistfully, "I think we'll do good out there, you know? In the real world."
Dan raised an eyebrow at the comment about Alis big heart, "oh yeah? She made it clear how much she loves creatures too, especially dragons. But I didn't see much heart other than that. She's nice enough though, I bet it's nice being so close in age?" Dan knew all about being close in age, considering the fact that he had a twin sister. That crazy kid.

Adelina then thought of something that made her feel a bit sad. Dan was going into the real world first, and she wouldn't see him at Hogwarts next year. She placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled. "It's certainly not going to be the same without you here next year, Dan," she said . "I'm going to miss you making me laugh all the time. I'll miss being around you in general." And without really thinking about, she embraced her friend. Wait... Ali loved dragons? Adelina never knew that. Their father had a bit of a history with dragons, so it made Adelina wonder if that sparked this interest or something else did. "I will have to ask my sister about this interest," she said. "Personally I have nothing against dragons, but I admit I'd be quite cautious should I ever see one." She then smiled. "And yes, being only a year apart has its perks. We're quite the duo at home."DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

It would be a lie if he said he wasn't surprised by the hug. It meant a lot coming Adelina, especially since hugging didn't really seem like her thing. While they held each other he spoke, "I'll miss that perfect etiquette of yours. I'll see none of that living on a farm I'm sure of that." He pulled away from her in order to look into her eyes and show her he was sincere, "you'll do fine without me kid, trust me."
At the mention of Adelina wanting to ask Ali about her interest, Dan felt like he had given a big secret away. "Well, that's what she told me. I think they can be pretty scary for sure, but I think I'd still approach one." He contemplated the thought, about befriending a dragon. He would love to have a dragon friend to call his own, but they weren't really that friendly. Not as friendly as the dragons he had seen in movies as a kid. Having a muggle mother who was a vet, she and him watched a lot of movie about animals and things. He loved that stuff.
"I have my twin sister, so I guess that's pretty cool." he shrugged.

Adelina chuckled at Dan calling her a kid, despite him being just a year older. Even in a sweet moment, he made her laugh. "Well I'm sure you'll be around good people nonetheless," she said. "And I am sure I will do well on my own." She laughed a bit at that too. "But it still might be harder to find someone to make me laugh when I need it."Adelina was not upset with Ali for such an interest, but it certainly caught her off guard. "She must have picked up a book about them or something," she said. "Ali is certainly an unpredictable one."Adelina smiled about Dan having a twin sister. "I can only imagine who much joy you both have together, being twins and everything," she said. "She's quite fortunate to have such an amusing brother."
(OOC Note: Adelina isn't really supposed to know about the dragon thing, but we'll run with this.) (Also, probably should wrap this up soon.) DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

"Well, any time you need a good laugh just send an owl and I'll send one back as soon as possible. OR better yet, I'll just send them to you weekly!" he smiled at his brilliant idea. Though, there was no way he would remember that. He would get so lost in his work on the farm that it was nearly impossible for him to remember something that needed to happen weekly, but the idea was great nonetheless. He shrugged at the Ali comment, "ya or she's seen pictures and thought it was cool. I honestly don't know." he felt a little awkward for mentioning the interested to Ad, especially since she acting like she had no idea what he was talking about. He decided not to press the issue further, "I prefer hippogriffs myself, like I said." "Oh trust me, she doesn't find me that amusing," he laughed. His sister was so smart and pretty, it was almost as if they weren't related sometimes, "but we love each other, I guess. She's a Pufflehuff, so we don't see each other all the time. But at home it's great." He chuckled at his little nickname he used for her house. The two started wrapping around the hall, heading back towards the common room. (ooc: well, all she told dan was that she liked dragons. So he can't go into much more detail anyway. And yes, I agree. Though I love this friendship )
