It brought Bette so much joy to see all the little couples in Hogsmeade, laughing and canoodling, and just having a good time in general. The small wizarding community had been decorated flying cupids, strung up paper hearts, and had gooey romantic songs playing in the background.
Honestly, this was one of Bette's favourite holiday's, not only because of the cheery attitude everyone generally tended to have, but also because of the possibility of new relationships.
Not for herself, of course. She was happily together with Wally and wouldn't change that for the world. No, the Hufflepuff was carefully looking around for people were alone, talk with them, and try to figure out a plan to get them on a date with someone else. She liked to play the part of Cupid's sidekick. Cupid's very devious, giggly sidekick.
On the hunt for her next 'victim', Bette made her way to the candy shop. The likelihood of there being someone who wasn't in a relationship was pretty high.

((Walking through the Air: Para walking with your character and mine enjoying carolers/lights/etc. I went with etc. EXTRA FLUFFY FOR YOU, BARTY))
The brisk, cold air bit through Cassie's coat and she shivered, pulling herself closer to Bart as they took a walk through a neighborhood notorious for decorating obnoxiously for Christmas. He put an arm around her shoulder, rubbing her arm.
"You're cold?" he asked, stating the obvious. She rolled her eyes and nodded at him, wrapping her arms around his waist. He was so lean, she could clasp her hands after putting her arms around him.
Bart laughed softly. Cassie closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of him and hearing the boy's heartbeat. She sighed softly.
"Look!" Bart whispered softly, pointing at an area in the yard of a house they were passing. Cassie glanced up and stared into the darkness where she could see two deer eating something off the ground.
"Aw!" she whispered back as the two deer, one a doe and the other a buck, appear to nuzzle each other. "They're so cute!"
"Kind of like us?" Bart asked, laughing.
Cassie smiled at him and lay her head on his shoulder, "Yes, just like us, Barty."
They continued on till they came to the last house on the street, Cassie's house. A streetlamp left a yellow ring of sparkling light on the snow and Cassie and Bart stood underneath it, looking at each other.
"I had fun," Cassie said quietly.
"I did too," Bart told her, stepping closer. She took a step up to him until they were standing so close, there was the smallest of space between them.
Cassie closed her eyes, leaning in at the same time as Bart. Suddenly she found her lips against his, their mouths morphing to fit each others. It was nice, sweet, soft. Cassie could taste a hint of cinnamon on Bart and she reached up to thread her fingers through his hair. Bart put his hand on her back pulling her forward. Just a few moments...
Cassie's front door opened.
"Cassandra Sandsmark!" her mother, Dr. Sandsmark, called out. "Get inside, you are well past your curfew young lady!"
Cassie jumped away from Bart and smiled at him apologetically before running inside. Turning around once more before finally shutting the door behind her, she saw Bart give a small wave and she grinned.
And that's one way to have a first kiss, Cassie thought to herself when she shut the door, blushing.
Bart and Cassie Chatzy Fluff ((Jaimeeeee, enjoy thissss))
Jaime, it's the chatzy fluff I was telling you about. It's SUPER cute.
Cassie hugs back.
Bart looks at her seriously, "Now, no more pushing people off cliffs."
Cassie sheepishly lowers her head, "Okay, I promise."
Bart smiles and hugs her again, "Thank-you."
Cassie gives a small smile and hugs him again, "You're welcome."
Bart laughs playfully punches her shoulder, "You're a good friend, Cass. You really didn't have to make that promise, but it makes me feel a lot better."
Cassie laughs, "Aw, Bart! If it means that much to you, of corse I'll promise not to push Tommy off of cliffs!!"
Bart smiles, "It's not just the pushing off cliffs things. I'm just glad I have a friend whose willing to promise me something so silly."
Cassie grins at Bart, "Of course I'll promise you silly things! We're friends!"
Bart playfully nudges her, "Yeah, that's what's friends are for, I guess!"
Cassie is nudged and nudges back, "Must be so!"
Tommy locks Cassie in a closet
Bart huffs, "Tommy!" And goes to get Cassie out of the closet.
Tommy picks Bart up, "What're ya doin'?"
Bart flails, "Getting Cassie out of the closet...because air and stuff is important. And she promised never to push you off a cliff again."
Tommy opens the closet and tosses Bart in before locking it again
Bart sighs and bangs his head on the closet repeatedly.
Cassie pouts and crosses her arms in the dark closet. "Bart, you didn't have to do that. Now you're in here too!"
Bart grumbled, "I was just trying to get you out. Because that's what I do."
Tommy sets the closet on fire
Cassie smiles at him through the dark, "Bart, you shouldn't have. Now Tommy's lit this place on fire... Are we going to die?"
Grayson sighs and pulls them both out of the closet
Bart bites his lip, "No...Oh, Dick I was gonna save us. But thanks. Seriously, thanks."
Tommy frowns because Grayson always ruins his fun
Grayson grins at Bart "I'm sure that would have worked well"
Cassie coughs as she's pulled out of the burning closet, "I think I breathed in too much smoke. Thanks for the save, Dick!"
Grayson pats Cassie on the back "No problem Cass"
Bart nods, "I would probably be burned, but we'd be out...Cass, do you need any help?"
Cassie coughs some more, "I think... *cough* I'll be fine. *cough* Just give me a minute."
Grayson ruffles his hair "Of course you would get injured in the process"
Bart sighs while patting Cassie's back trying to help her get the smoke out, "I'm gonna get shot in the leg one day..."
Cassie straightens up, "Don't say that! You'll jinx yourself!"
Tommy loads his shotgun, glancing up at Bart
Grayson *you're gonna shoot yourself in the foot Bart
Cassie takes the water and drinks it before going to stand in front of Bart protectively.
Grayson casually takes away Tommy's shotgun
Tommy grumbles and pouts
Bart sighs, "Just let him shoot me. If he doesn't somebody will or I will myself, in case you haven't noticed."
Grayson unloads the shotgun
Cassie stomps a foot, "Absolutely not, Bart. We're prolonging your imminent pain for a while longer."
Bart rolls his eyes, "Key word being imminent, might as well get it over now."
Tommy pulls out a handgun and shoots Bart in the knee
Cassie pushes his shoulder playfully, "If we let you hurt yourself now, you're only going to eventually get hurt again later. Besides, we kinda need you for the snowball fight."
Cassie jumps in front of the shotgun and takes the bullet.
Grayson smacks Tommy and takes the handgun as well
Bart pushes her out of the way before she can and gets shot in the thigh.
Bart: ((He flinched))
Bart: ((And pulled his leg up))
Grayson sighs and grabs a first aid kit
Cassie lies on the floor, glaring at Bart. "You, my friend, are an idiot."
Bart sits down, "Cassandra Sandsmark, you don't ever try to take a bullet for me again. You are ten of me easily."
Cassie sits up and crosses her legs, "Don't you dare say that, idiot. You look like you need medical help. Dick, toss me the first aid!"
Grayson walks over and hand Cassie the first aid kit "you're probably gonna need help"
Bart sighs, "I can do it myself...I think...And why shouldn't I say what's true?"
Tommy ships it ]]
Cassie: ((<3... Whatcha shippin' Tommy?))
Tommy: You two ]]
Tommy: You're adorable ]]
Cassie groans, "Oh no you don't. Thanks Dick. Could you hold him down? The bullet went through his thigh and thankfully, it's a clean wound, but, uh, I'm gonna have to pour alcohol on this and it's gonna sting.
Bart reaches for the alcohol, "Cassie, I said I can probably do it myself. Don't waste your time on me."
Cassie: ((Awwwww! Before auditioning for Cassie, I was a hardcore shipper of Spitfire, but now... Cassie's becoming my favorite character and I love her with Bart or Jaime. But for real, if Bart wasn't with Jaime and Jaime wasn’t with Bart…))
Cassie slaps his hand away, "Shutup and sit still."
Bart: ((andnowifeelbad))
Bart grumbles, knowing to give up, "I still don't think you should have to do this for me. I'll be fine by myself...always have been."
Grayson ruffles his hair "Yeah but you have us now"
Cassie: ((don'tfeelbadbarty))
Cassie smiles at him, "Yah! You have a new family, so don't you dare think about doing stuff by yourself again."
Bart bites his lip, "Yeah, but you guys are always taking care of me and I'm no help to you...I'm mode...I'm a burnden."
Bart: ((okcassie,thankyou ))
Cassie glares at him, "You are not a burden, idiot. Never, ever, ever repeat those words again or I'll break your nose."
Cassie: ((awwwwloveyoubart))
Bart rolls his eyes, "Why so Dick or Jaime can take care of that while I sit and be useless?"
Grayson sticks his tongue out "You're not mode Bart, you're the crashest of them all"
Bart: ((Awthankyousomuchcassie you'rethebest))
Cassie pouts, "Bart, you're not useless, okay? You're definitely crash."
Cassie: ((aw!youaretoo))
Zatanna: ((You two are so sweet you're giving me a cavity.))
Bart sighs, "You keep saying that as you treat my leg would...after the many times I've gotten concussions and hurt myself...hurt my friends...I can't even get my mission done...I don't even know where to begin..."
Cassie shakes her head, "Bart, you've probably done more for us than anyone knows, including yourself. Just... you're not useless. And it hurts me to hear you say that."
Cassie: ((awwwww cavities!! Barty, we're giving people CAVITIES!))
Bart looks at her, "You...you really think so...I can't even save my friends...how am I supposed to save the future when I keep failing at the simplest of tasks?"
Bart: ((MISSION ACCOMPLISHED))
Bart: ((ON TO DIABETES))
Zatanna: ((Billy you're so adorable!))
Cassie stares at him, "You're... you're here to save the future? What are you talking about? Bart, you've saved us in different ways than combat, although you've saved my personal butt more than a few times."
Bart sighs, "I never explained to you, did I? Yeah...that's what I'm here for. To stop the future from going mode. And yeah, combat is one thing but outside of it, I'm a failure..."
Bart: ((LOL went to an independent Bart blog and asked for some turn ons. Got this: “Lights turn on. And ovens. And cars, annd.. game consoles and fans—fans turn on. Wait, why do you need me to tell you what things turn on?!”))
Cassie frowns, "Don't you dare start. You've made me laugh more than anyone else on the entire team, you're so nice, and you're really the only one my age. I guess... I guess I'm just saying that... I really don't know where'd I'd be without you.
21:32
Cassie: ((that's hilarious! OH, and diabetes? Let's please give the world diabetes.))
Bart lip quivers, "You shouldn't think so highly of me, Cass. I don't want to disappoint you one day with this kind of thing."
Cassie feels her eyes fill with tears. Why is she crying? She hastily wiped at them, "Bart, you could never, ever disappoint me. Ever."
Cassie: ((Wow, Tommy and Dick, I kinda forgot you guys were still here cause you quit replying for a while there.))
Tommy: [[ We're creepin' ]]
Grayson: [[I was untangling myself from the christmas lights]]
Bart hugs her as he tries not to cry, "I really hope that ends up being true, Cass. Because if I disappoint you or anyone who believes in me...I don't think I'll ever forgive myself."
Grayson: [[I kind of want to ruin your couple moment and just like join the hug]]
Grayson: [[just be like "oh hai there, didnt see you too coupling it up, do you mind if I join your hug? no? okay then]]
Cassie reaches up from her position and hugs Bart, "Please, please don't ever ever think like that. You could never ever disappoint us because we're friends. We're more than friends. We're teammates, partners, and we've always got each others back."
Cassie: ((Join da hug Dick. One big happy family. You two were really creeping? Are we really that cute?))
Tommy: [[ You two really are sickeningly cute ]]
Grayson: [[I think I have to go brush my teeth several times because of you two]]
Zatanna: ((Dad...))
Bart hugs her tightly, "I'll try, Cassie. Someone like you could never disappoint someone like me, but...I have a tendency to faill...get hurt...but I'll try to be the best friend, teammate, partner ever."
Bart: ((feelingoddlypleasedabo utthis))
Cassie: ((...brush your teeth? dad? sickeningly cute? Okay. Yah, we're adorable. And I'm feeling pleased too... If Dick and Tommy and Zee were creeping... We've done something right.))
Bart: ((Clearly ))
Cassie lays her forehead on Bart's shoulder, "Everyone fails, Bart. We all fall down, but we also all get back up again. I know that when I fall, you'll help me up. I had hoped you'd know I'd do the same for you."
Bart a few tears roll down his face, "I don't doubt you Cassie. I doubt myself. I always have...I think I always will."
Bart: ((gonnahavetoagreewithth at.totally))
Cassie finally let's the tears slip from her eyes, "Bart, don't doubt yourself. I don't doubt you, and I never will because... because you'll never be a failure to me. Because you can't be."
Bart clutches at her back not wanting to let go, "But I have been. I always have been. I lost my parents...the guy who raised me...and if I lose you guys just the same...I don't want that to happen. I was never supposed to make connections in this time period. But I did. And you all have so much faith in me it's overwhelming. You're the crashest people ever."
Cassie tightens her embrace and breathes in through her nose, realizing that her sinuses had swollen due to her tears. She could faintly smell Bart's cologne and she realized that that was what she recognized comfort and safety as. Bart. "Bart, you'll never lose me. We'll always have each other, okay?"
