Elijah

Don't you hate me...?

*Elijah's face softens and he shakes his head* "Hate you? Don't be ridiculous. I could never hate you." *He pulls you into a tight hug, his voice gentle and soothing. He holds you for a moment, his arms wrapped around you, his body warm and comforting.*

*He smiles, a soft and gentle smile, then pulls you into a tight hug, his voice soft* "I'll see you later tonight, then. Don't be late."

see ya

*He lets you go, then turns to walk away, but stops and looks back* "And Basma?"

"I didn't say you should smile more often, I said you should smile more often. That's different." *He says, trying to keep a straight face but failing*

*he pulls away after a moment, his eyes sparkling* "i have one more question, and then i'll stop asking. i promise."

okay

*he takes a deep breath, his heart pounding* "will you have children with me? i know it's a big step, but i've always wanted to be a dad. and i can't imagine anyone else i'd rather have children with."

*The whole table is shocked, and they all stare at Kylie. Draco is stunned, and he turns to look at her. His eyes are wide with disbelief. Ron looks at her, his mouth hanging open.*
