James McGuinness

"That sounds delicious. I haven’t eaten a good shepherds pie in ages. Mum makes russian food all the time." She snorted, licking her lips at the thought of cabbage rolls and eggplant caviar.

"Shepard’s pie is rather good. Especially when my mother is making it," he whispered, suddenly feeling quite homesick. It was a shame that he had chosen to stay at the castle for the holidays, but what choice was there when it was emotionally devastating to return home. The absence of his brother left the entire family broken and depressed. James shook his head before looking back down at Sonya. "She always makes good food."

"You know, I’d really like that. It’ll be a fun ending to the night, and comfy too. I was thirteen, I wasn’t exactly the best personal stylist! Especially for a wanna be punk." She laughed, letting her hair out of it’s updo

"If you think you should. I’m going to have to get changed and make sure it looks like I’m sleeping." She winked, grabbing her dress and lifting it a little so she could walk easier

"I think you definitely need to be carried, baby bird," he said playfully and grinned as he hustled forward. Without much warning, James came up beside her and bent a little before swooping her up into his arms. "A pretty lady such as yourself shouldn’t have to walk barefoot in the freezing cold."

"I’ll be right back." She smiled, standing on her toes and pressing a kiss to his cheek before whispering the password and darting inside.

He just smiled, watching as she disappeared behind the par trait. Ducking his head, James didn’t waste any time before retrieving his wand from his back pocket. He whispered a summoning spell, simple and sweet under his breath. Seconds later, his tent bag sat by his feet. Impressed with himself , the brunette reached down to pick it up. He didn’t need much else for the night. That summer, he and his friends gone camping every weekend. James had clothes and other various essentials still packed away.

"Yeah, I’m sure we can both deal with it," he reassured her and gave her hand a soft squeeze, just enough pressure to let her know that he was there and ready to protect her if it came to it.

"My Chemical Romance. Even if they broke up on my birthday." She shrugged, playing with the spider necklace around her neck

"Nice choice. I used to enjoy them a lot before my taste in music found it's way back to the nineteen-sixties and seventies," he commented, brows rising as he thought about all of the My Chemical Romance songs he once obsessed over.

"You know, I’d really like that. It’ll be a fun ending to the night, and comfy too. I was thirteen, I wasn’t exactly the best personal stylist! Especially for a wanna be punk." She laughed, letting her hair out of it’s updo

James offered her a soft smile as she sat down on his bed. He enjoyed Annie's company, always had. "Alright, good. At least I've got someone to hang out with," he said under his breath and leaned over the side of the bed to swipe his pack up off of the floor.
