Ellie walked along the dungeons but stopped when she heard a faint sound that sounded like a quill on a parchment. She walked closer to the sound and noticed it was Andrew sitting, most likely drawing. She walked over to him and sat down next to him looking at the drawing. "You want me to hold your wand, it might be easier for you to draw." She said softly smiling at him.

Andrew's nerves went on end as he saw movement out of the corner of his eye. Sure the dungeons weren't used anymore...but they could be right terrifying in the dark and by yourself. He looked toward the movement and jumped as he saw Ellie walk out of the darkness into the wand light. "Bloody hell. Don't do that. You scared me half to death." As she sat down beside him he relaxed slightly and smiled, "Only if you want to. It's just a habit now really."

Ellie looked at him a bit guilty. "I'm sorry Andrew, I didn't mean to scare you." She said and noticed he realized and smiled at her. "Honestly, I don't mind, besides, I love your drawing, they are so amazing." She said as she took the wand and held it up so both him and her could both see properly. "You really like to draw, don't you?"

Andrew smiled guiltily, "Sorry, didn't mean to snap at you. Just a bit creepy down here and didn't expect anyone else in here." He turned red as she complemented his drawings, "Thanks." He turned and smiled at her, "I do. I used to do it as a kid just for something to do other than help my mum or dad. During...well during my uncles...well his issues I used it as an escape almost. Now, I do it more as a way to relax. But yes I like to draw." He looked at her and smiled, "What do you do in your spare time other than sneak down into the dungeons and sneak up on people?" He said teasingly and with a grin.

"Don't apologize, it's really my fault, I heard something and decided to investigate." Ellie said to him and smiled at him as he explained why he liked to draw. "I'm sorry to hear that, though I can relate in a way, though I'm a terrible drawer." She told him and hesitated a bit when he asked her what she did. "I tend to read a bit, or take walks around the castle or town on holidays." She told him, looking at the drawing. "I have been doing that since I was a little girl, taking walks around. When my parents would stress me to do something I didn't agree with, I would take walks to calm down, I'm so used to it that it's been a daily thing of mine."

Andrew looked thoughtful, "Walks...you should walk along the moors in the early morning. It's so peaceful." He smiled reminiscingly and looked at Ellie, "When do you take these walks? If you don't mind me asking of course, just thought maybe if I wasn't busy I could join you..." He smiled and turned so he was facing her and she couldn't see what he was drawing. Flipping over the page he started sketching her. "What books do you read?"

Ellie looked at him and smiled. "Usually right after classes, relieve the day stress from the teachers." She said and watched as he turned so she couldn't see what he was drawing. "Wait, how am I supposed to watch you draw if you sit like that?" She asked as she tried to looked at his drawing. She shrugged at his question. "Any and all really. I'm not picky when it comes to reading. Though like I said before, I don't read muggle books."

Andrew smiled as he continued to draw, "After class. Right." He looked up and smirked, "That's the whole point. It's a surprise." As she tried to look at the drawing he moved, "Nope, you'll have to wait." He smiled and glanced up at her, "Do you like music?"

"Yeah, after class, are you free then?" She asked as she still tried to catch a peek of the drawing. "Just one little peek?" She begged him, laughter starting to creep up to her. "Music? I'm not the biggest fan, though I will listen to the weird sisters, they were good." She told him as she moved closer to him.

Andrew smiled as he glanced up at her again, "I could be free then." He shifted the sketch again as she tried to peek at it, "Give me a minute then you can." He laughed without looking up as she replied, "The Weird Sisters?" He drew a few more lines and looked at her, "I've never been one for them. Have you ever listened to muggle classical music?" He turned red and looked back down at the sketch as he continued to draw, "My mum used to make me listen when I was younger. I've taken a liking to it, though you can't tell anyone." He felt her move closer and pulled the sketch away. "Almost....done...." He drew a few more quick lines and then smiled as he pulled the whole thing away from her, "There. Want to see?"

Ellie smiled when he said he could be free and felt her heart start to soar again. She continued to move closer to try and steal a peek at the drawing but he would just move it away again. She sat back and shook her head to muggle music. "My parents wouldn't allow anything muggle come in a ten foot radius of me." She told him but smiled as a thought came to her mind. "I'll have to listen to some with you sometime." She said and her smile grew more when he said he was done. "Of course!" She said, moving to sit next to him again. "What did you draw?"

Andrew grinned, "That would be great. I brought some with me but I only listen to it in the RoR by the Common room...prying ears and all." He watched her sit next to him and grinned, "You sure? It may not be any good. This lighting is awful." He turned the sketch around to face her showing a sketch of her holding his wand up. "What do you think? I think it's too dark, doesn't really bring out certain aspects of your face that I..." He swallowed and turned red as he looked away from her.

Ellie smiled and thought about being with Andrew in the RoR listening to the music, alone. "It's a date then." She said before she stopped herself. She blushed a bit but the blush became brighter as she looked at the parchment he had drawn on. "It's...me." She said awestucked as she looked from the drawing and Andrew. "You drew me?" When he said some of aspects of her face didn't show up well she knew she wasn't seeing things. "No, it's really good Andrew, I..I didn't expect you to draw me." She looked at him and noticed he had turned red as well. "Oh, now wait a minute, why are you blushing?"

Andrew smiled as she said it was a date. He watched her blush and grinned, "Yes, I drew you. That's the point of the surprise..." He handed her the parchment, "It's yours to keep." He looked at her, "I'm not blushing I'm...well why are you blushing? And it's not because of the drawing you were red before that."

Ellie took the parchment from Andrew and looked up at him. "Are you sure?" She asked, she did love the drawing, but she thought he would've wanted to keep it. She looked at him and shook her head. "Nope, you have to tell me why you blushed first." She smirked, she wasn't sure if it was a great time to tell him that she had true feelings for him, even though he knew she liked him from before, her feelings had grown since that day.
