"You admired me?" Lavender asked, unable to keep the confusion and slight awe from her voice. Her self-confidence seemed to tremble under the weight of an unexpected compliment. She wasn't anything special, perhaps only noticeable because of her stature or scars. She laughed softly, shaking her head. "Well, I... I guess magic works in mysterious ways sometimes." Maybe they would never make sense of it. And maybe that was okay, really, because real love didn't necessarily have to make sense either.
Lavender traced her finger slowly around the rim of her glass as she listened to Dempster speak. It felt like she knew him and didn't know him at the same time. Not too long ago, she'd been under the influence and telling him that she loved him. Now, she wondered how he could have so few connections. "I haven't dated much since I joined the Ministry. It was all work and training and trying to get to be a Hit Wizard." Her lips twisted wryly. It was only a potion, but she kind of missed the feeling of being in love. Was the real thing anything like that?
She took a sip of her drink, as if to wash away that thought. Then, she flashed Dempster a grin. "Well," she teased, "from my experience, you seem pretty capable of whatever action you put your mind to."
