Alice smiled, softly, when Oliver said he'd go with her and soon they were leaving the Leaky Cauldron and heading on their way. "They are magnificent creatures. Smoke is a beauty too." She said, and once they were outside she took hold of his hand and with a bit of concentration, shed disapparated them and they reappeared before the stables.

Alice gently dropped Oliver's hand and headed over to the desk and the woman smiled. "Hello, Alice, Smoke has been waiting for you." She said, looking towards Oliver behind her, "who is your guest?"

"Oliver Wood, My Ministry chosen match." She said before waving him over. "She still in her.stable?"

"Yes ma'am." The desk woman said, and soon Alice was heading back, and she stopped before a stable with a beautiful grey and white Hippogriff. She bowed slightly before walking.closer and began petting the creature. "We'll fly.in a minute, I want you to meet someone."

Draco jumped slightly at Eva's voice, and.she listened to her words. "Yeah, well, plenty of people judge too quickly, it just happens I suppose." He said, and as she spoke of roses being her favorite, he gave a small half smile, picking one in full bloom and.handing it to her as they moved to another table and sat down.

Then she said something and he closed his eyes. "It wasn't bad, not until the dark Lord came.back full force." He said, and he looked.back to the garden. "After it all I just couldn't bring myself to sit by with all the pain anymore, so I became a healer."
