Crimson was on the train, it was his first year going to Hogwarts Academy and he couldn’t help but feel nervous. He looked down at his wand, his wand was an 11" Blood wood with Manticore Barb Core. He placed his wand away as he was looking for somewhere to sit. He looked into a nearby booth to see someone along with an open. “Um, excuse me? Sorry to disturb you, but is it alright if I sit here?” He asked.
She to his hand and smiled, “sounds good to me! Let’s get outta here!” She spoke and she looked at him “do you want to take the brooms today?” She asked him with a small smile.
Crimson looked at her. “Oh, I think I know something better than brooms.” He spoke, smirking a bit.
The witch looked at him with a raised brow mildly intrigued and equally concerned. “You don’t usually do the devious smirking I’m not sure how I feel about this” she joked at him.
Crimson chuckled. “Oh don’t worry. It’ll be a hell of a ride towards Hogsmeade.” Crimson said as they began walking towards the courtyard.
Jinx gave a nervous laugh. “You’re making me worried” She teased him as they went into the courtyard she let go of his hand. She looked at him. “Why do I have a feeling our ride is something that has wings and a bad habit of stalking you?” She asked
Crimson chuckled. “Alright, Jinx, you got me there.” He then let out a loud whistle. Within seconds, Rildren came flying in and landed in front of them. He was shaking in excitement as he was showing them a toothless smile.
Jinx watched Rildren come in and get seemingly excited. “Oh boy….” she spoke. She looked up at Crimson “I don’t know how I feel about this.” She spoke to him.
Crimson looked down at her and rubbed her cheek gently with his thumb. “Hey, it’s alright. Rildren can get us to Hogsmeade safely, hell he saved me from the dragon days ago.” Crimson said to her.
She felt his thumb against her cheek, she gave a small smile. “I know…..” she paused “we should probably get going” she spoke to him. “I just will think of it like riding my broom” she added.
Crimson nodded, he helped Jinx mount onto Rildren as he sat in front of her. “Alright, Rildren, show her what you can do.” He whispered to him. Rildren huffed and suddenly took off from the ground, flying high up into the air.
Astrid slid on with ease and wrapped her arms around Crimsons waist. She breathed out trying to calm herself but before she’d exhaled the dragon shot into the air and she seemed to jump and hold on tighter. The lack of control she had in the situation had her on edge for sure. She just buried herself in her boyfriend. “Definitely isn’t like riding a broom!” She exclaimed.
“It’s alright, Jinx! Just hang onto me!” Crimson exclaimed to his girlfriend. Soon, Rildren began to level out as the flight became more steady. “Jinx, you can open your eyes now.” Crimson whispered to her.
The red head still clung to him tightly. Slowly opening her eyes she let them adjust to the much brighter sky they were under whilst high in the clouds. It was like being in her element on a broom. She chuckled a bit in excitement. But still clung to Crimson. She’d adjust in time, she thought.
Crimson smiled softly as he heard her chuckling. Rildren lowered them until they were just above the clouds. Crimson reached and gently held Jinx’s hand.
Jinx held his hand back in response. “This is amazing. And terrifying in the respect I have no control right now” She joked to Crimson as they continued to fly.
“You can imagine how I felt when I flew with Rildren.” Crimson said, laughing a bit.
“Yea, when have you had time to go flying hmmm?” She asked him jokingly.
“Hmm, I suppose that one time when I was trying to escape from that Hungarian horn Dragon.” Crimson joked.
“You are such trouble Crimson. I swear” she spoke with a laugh. Before she spotted hogsmead “hey there we go!! Time for some much needed butter beer” She spoke.
“Alright, Rildren. Take us down.” Crimson said to his dragon. Rildren huffed and slowly began to descent to the town.
She held on tight to him and smiled, “This was fun. Terrifying but fun” she teased him. Kissing the back of his neck as the descend towards hodsmeade she nuzzled into crimson. She was too happily distracted with crimson to care about much else in this quiet moment in the sky.
Soon, Rildren landed just outside of Hogsmeade. “Good job, bud.” Crimson said as he got off and helped Jinx off the dragon.
Jinx held crimsons hand as they walked into hosgmeade. “Mmmm I want butterbeer so bad!!” She smiled
Crimson chuckled a bit. “I know you do. Let’s find a table so we can re-” Crimson was suddenly interrupted as a few cameras flashed in front of him. “What the?!”
Jinx was blinded by the cameras sand she put her hands in front of her face, “WHAT THE HELL?!” She exclaimed. She buried herself into her scarf. “I think you’re looking at the wrong people” She spoke and looked at those handling the cameras.
A camera man looked at her. “Actually, we’re here to make a famous news article on Crimson Blade facing being rescued by a Night Fury, and brought down the Hungarian Horned dragon!” He said excitedly.
Jinx looked at Crimson, “don’t indulge them let’s just go!” She spoke to him and pulled at her boyfriend. “I don’t think this is a good idea…” she added.
Crimson seemed puzzled at them. But he shook his head and nodded. “Yeah, sorry. Maybe some other time!” He quickly said to them as he followed his girlfriend.
Jinx didn’t want him to pressured nor did she need herself in the news. Her dad who knows what he’d do. She thought, but then tried to push it aside. She held tightly into Crimson pulling him into the tavern. Slamming the door behind her.
Crimson sighed in relief, still looking puzzled. “If that’s what is like for Harry to be famous. I don’t want any part in it.” He said to Jinx.
She laughed at his comment as they walked up to the bar to get their drinks, “Can we get two butter beers please?” the red head asked and the wizard nodded before whipping them up quickly then handing them to her. “Lets find a table babe” she said to Crimson.
Crimson smiled and nodded. “You got it, babe.” He said to her. They then find a table and sat down. “Man, feels great to relax.” Crimson said as he was bext to her.
She sat next to him and handed him his butterbeer “it’s needed. Now that I’m hopefully done with being in the hospital wing” she said to him
Crimson looked down guiltily. “Right… Sorry about that…” He said, taking a sip of his butter beer.
“It was Draco’s fault. But you were being a jerk that day too.” She pointed out to him. Then kissed his cheek. Before continuing to drink her butter beer
Crimson blushed a little bit, he scooted closer to her as he continued to drink his butter beer
The red head leaned on him. “I can’t wait for these games to be over.” She spoke softly to him. And sipped at her drink.
