There wasn't really much arguing that Lunete could do and truthfully she didn't want to. It wasn't because she wanted to go out but more because she didn't have the energy to resist these days. She offered a kind of weak smile and shrugged her shoulders a bit, "Okay," Her head nodded softly as she spoke. There was no point in trying to just go home, what was waiting for her there? Nothing worth blowing off company for really but she still would have rather gone home. It was a strange sensation and it kind of felt as though Lunete was just giving up with the world although it was hard to tell. She was carrying on, going through the motions of everyday life and she was even back to work. There wasn't a lot to do other than work and go home, check on her dad, hang with her brothers if they had the time. Lunete kind of felt like a burden and she hoped Sirius wasn't asking her out for a drink because of pity, if she found out it was a pity drink then there was a strong chance that she'd not come in for work tomorrow, or potentially for the rest of the week.

“So where are we going?” She asked. It was a Tuesday, it wasn’t as if there was much happening on a Tuesday. It would just be one of the regular sort of spots like the Leaky, although Lunete wouldn’t put it past Sirius to know if there was something worthwhile going on at a quiet, undiscovered pub somewhere. Usually a night out would have been something she’d have jumped at, she would have had a good time, but there was no telling what she’d be like tonight. She supposed she’d just have to wait and see.

Life had been slow and gradual. Every day seemed like an effort to get through. Lunete could hardly believe that at one point she thought she was going to get through it all with just a little help. But that was before the break up. After Julian had broken up with her life had certainly started to get worse but that was on her. She'd stopped eating and only cried herself to sleep. She missed Tristan and his death had stirred up so many emotions from when she'd lost her mother, then Julian had broken up with her just as she thought she was getting better, and she just couldn't be bothered any more. Doc practically had to throw her in the shower, Perce practically spoon fed her, her dad did all her laundry, and Lionel had been her company to keep her sane, even when she hadn't wanted any. Her family had really rallied around her and once she returned to work Kit seemed to be keeping watch over her. She felt as though it was all a little overboard but for that first week after her break up she'd not left her room apart from using the toilet. She had her room at the top of the house, she had her training spaces and study areas, a spare room she used as a wardrobe and dressing room, and her own bathroom there too so there was no reason for anyone to be up there, but of course they were, because they were concerned for her.

Getting back into work had been a tough decision. She'd nearly given it all up but she knew she had to carry on. She'd just started her third year of training and she knew Trist would have wanted her to carry on, so would her mum. Seeing Agent Humbert had been strange at first, but there very few ways in which he reminded her of Julian. They were brothers, but beyond that knowledge there was nothing similar about the two. The way they spoke, the way they sounded, the way they moved, the way they dressed, everything was different, and so thankfully Lunete was not distracted for long by Agent Humbert. She wasn't even put off by the chattering she'd noticed upon her return. Perhaps she was being paranoid but she was certain a few people had a few things to say about her behind her back but she ignored them and carried on.

Despite not being sure if she'd return or not, Lunete had been faced with a hard task. During her absence at the ministry the Minister herself had passed away. An untimely death that was undoubtedly linked to the Death Eaters. During that time things seemed to have changed and, for some reason, there seemed to be concern over whether or not Lunete could do her job or not. She was bereaved, that was the reasoning behind it, but before she could get back into her training, get back on the job, she was tested. She passed, even though her tester seemed to make it entirely more difficult than it probably needed to be, but she did it and it was something that made her even more driven to succeed in. She knew what was happening. The ministry was being run by Aurelius Avery, a man with no claim to the position of Minister, and yet there he was. She'd heard tales of muggleborns being fired, of half bloods being intimidated. She'd hoped that it was exaggerating but it seemed not. She too was forced to prove she belonged but she was waiting for the time they came for her, tried to kick her from the ministry or even do to her what they'd done to Tristan. She couldn't let that deter her. She would carry on regardless of what they put her through and she would not back down. As she walked the hallway, thinking of how life had changed so drastically in just a few months, she heard her name called. Loose dark hair swept quickly over her shoulder as she turned her head to look at the man that had called her name, snapped from her thoughts she was ready to call an end to the day, to get out while she could, she didn't much like being in the ministry when she shouldn't have been there, they were looking for any excuses, she knew it, so she couldn't give them anything, not even a single inch. "Hey Black." She said, forcing a small smile though smiling was still the last thing she wanted to do these days, "What's up?"

It had been just over a week since Tristan had been killed and, quite expectedly some might say, Lunete had been a little bit of a mess. Her world was once again turned upside down. She'd lost her mother and now her brother. To top the whole heartbreak off it was coming up to the anniversary of her mother's death and she wasn't sure how she was going to get through it but she knew that she would. She had three brothers, her dad, and an incredible boyfriend that would help her through the next week and a half. She couldn't do it without them.

Today was a little easier than the day before. She'd been crying herself to sleep at nights but today she felt good, a little better in fact. Julian wanted to meet with her at the local bakery where they'd first met properly. She'd been a bumbling mess but he'd somehow found her cute and endearing. Thankfully she'd manage to make less of a prat of herself on their first date flying than she had in the bakery, or at the Ministry where she'd first seen him. He'd been talking to Agent Humbert and oh holy heck had he made her head turn! He was incredibly attractive and she'd stared at him, outright, in public. Why had he wanted to talk to her again!? Lunete chuckled to herself as she strolled through the village. Her hair washed, a light little dusting of makeup and for the first time in a week, her eyes weren't red and puffy. Thinking about Julian made her smile. She'd been so down in the dumps that smiles had been rare for her, but today was a good day. One day at a time was all she had to get through. Today she'd get through it with Julian.

Entering the bakery she didn't need to look about. She cast her eyes over to what she called to herself 'their table'. Sure enough he was sat there and Lunete smiled at him. The door closed behind her as she made her way over to the table. There wasn't the usual spring in her step and there wasn't that bouncy nature she usually had, but she was smiling, it was something. "Hey." She was so glad to see him in the flesh. She just wanted to cosy on up to him and forget the world for a while, "Thanks for getting me out of the house," She said, sitting next to him, "I really needed this." She leant in towards him, to greet him with a kiss. He was fast becoming her rock. His patience and understanding with her was just so appreciated. She was going to have to do something special for him when she was feeling up to it.

Outfit: So this is going well ....

Lunete was happily lead by the hand by Julian. The evening was busy but she couldn't stop smiling. This was such a lovely date together. She didn't much mind being called to dinner already, she wanted to spend more time one on one with Julian and he seemed to want the same with her. Going for a walk while everyone else made their way to the dining room was just perfect for Lunete. It was a beautiful setting and she didn't mind being social at all, but she quite liked alone time with Julian as they walked along a beautiful little path, Julian pointing at the statues, telling her little tales and making her chuckle. She leant in against the side of his arm, holding his hand with both of hers as they walked. Time seemed to absolutely fly by because pretty soon Julian was sighing and she knew why. A quick glance about told her it was time to head in and Julian said the words out loud. She lowered her head a little and looked up at Julian, pouting a little "I suppose so." She smiled. She wouldn't mind sitting next to him in a room full of people in the slightest. It was a little strange that she was doing it in front of a lot of people that she worked with. Perhaps this hadn't been such a good idea for only a second date!

They pair made their way in to the dining hall, making their way to their seats together, escorted by some help. The house and the dining room were just spectacular in Lunete's opinion and she was absolutely amazed with it all. Her family home felt so much larger these days but it was more homely and less stately than the Minister's family home. Lunete liked both very much but she would be happier living in her own home than somewhere like this. As beautiful as it was it wasn't the sort of place she'd like to live in. She hoped to someday have a family home much like the one she'd grown up in and have a family about as large as the one she'd grown up in. Perhaps a child or two less. Or more. Who knew!

Looking across the table as she took her seat she smiled a little awkwardly before looking to Julian and opening her eyes a little wider, slight horror that they were opposite his brother and Meadowes. At least she wasn't the only one here from the ministry not on official business! That was something she supposed, although she didn't much think sitting across from her teacher and a work colleague. Was she a colleague? Lunete wasn't really a fully qualified Auror yet and Meadowes wasn't a teacher of any kind but it wasn't as if they were nothing to one another. Though Lunete thought that perhaps Meadowes had absolutely no idea she existed. This was going to be awkward if they had to make conversation. The table wasn't wide enough that they could get away with not conversing but then again there were plenty of people so perhaps the sound of chattering guests in the Ministers home would be enough to warrant not talking over the table. Lunete sighed a little. One could hope.

The gardens were absolutely beautiful and Lunete was exceedingly happy with her company for the evening. She hadn't dated much and the couple of guys she had dated were all friends first. Julian was the first person she'd just jumped into a date with. She hadn't known him first, she'd only had one interaction with him before their first date and one something she wasn't quite sure what to call. She'd seen him talking to Agent Humbert and she'd been transfixed. She'd felt completely humiliated when he'd noticed her staring and she'd panicked once she was noticed but apparently that hadn't worried him because the second time she saw him had been in the bakery of her home town, he'd been staring at her and yet somehow, after making a bit of an arse of herself yet again, he still joined her at her table and struck up a conversation. They arranged to go on a date and set the date up via owl. She'd been worried he wouldn't show but he had and it had been incredible. She'd enjoyed every moment of it and was enjoying their second date just as much. It was quite hard to keep from smiling the entire time when in Julian's company but she didn't want to come off as a complete lunatic.

Julian was so close that they could have kissed. She didn't feel entirely comfortable with the idea of kissing so publicly in front of faces she worked with but at the same time she found she definitely wanted to kiss him again, sometime, not right now. He pulled back and she almost grinned, the idea of exploring more of this beautiful home was exciting. Lunete loved her home, she'd lived there with her family and it was large enough for them all, but it was no mansion! It was nothing as stunning and well dressed up as the Minister's home. "Ohh, champagne!" She said, delighted at a little drink before the evening really got going. She didn't want to drink too much, she wasn't much of a drinker really, but she'd decided before she'd come out that she'd be apparating home and that was not something to do once inebriated. Raising her glass she felt the carbonated bubbles popping against her top lip as she took sip of the pale-golden beverage. "You're so naughty!" She chuckled as she walked with him. As much as she was curious about what was beyond this floor she wanted to explore the rest of the house too, however she was not willing to breach the Minister's wishes, no matter how delectably tempting it would be. "I enjoy a good swim." She smirked a little, taking a sip of her champagne again, smiling in to her glass.

Julian didn't look comfortable about flying. He didn't exactly look uncomfortable but he didn't seem to be much of a flier - which was fine! Lunete was more than flexible about what a first date could be like. A first date? Oh Merlin, in her mind that seemed to imply there would be more than one. Would she like that? She wasn't sure, she'd have to see how their date went first, but based on what very little she knew of him right now, she'd rather like a thousand dates with Julian. She was rather jumping the gun a little. Wand. Both. Having been raised by muggle parents she often found her mind split between the two worlds. "Quidditch captain?" She smiled, flattered just a little that he might think that, "No," She said, shaking her head, she'd never been quidditch captain but she had dreamed for the longest time of being a professional quidditch player, not that such a dream had really panned out. After receiving the truly devastating news of her mother she needed a change in her life, she had to up-end absolutely everything and start a new, and right now she was glad to have made that decision because without it she wouldn't have seen Julian at the Ministry talking to agent Humbert and she might not have seen him here either. "Chaser yes, captain, no." She'd focused herself on her school work instead of any sort of position with authority and it was just as well considering the career change she'd made.

The idea of Julian having not been on a broom in quite some time yet willing to try it again for her made her kind of giddy. She supposed it really shouldn't have because it seemed like such a silly thing to be excited about but it wasn't as if it was every day someone was willing to step outside of their comfort zone for her. "I'm free on weekends." She told him, grinning just a little, she was well aware of how young she must have seemed and how excited but she actually didn't mind. This Julian guy, that admittedly she'd only just met, seemed like someone she might just be able to be herself around which was a thought that calmed her and stopped her from being that nervous girl from before that she barely recognised, and if she was too much for him right now then perhaps it would be best to just act natural so at least things would be over before they even began, yet at the same time she did wish she could dial it back just a little but she couldn't help herself, it seemed to be an all or nothing situation right now.
