Nikita was surprised that she was having as good of a time that she was having. It was a pleasant surprise that he was well...she didn't know what it was, but he was that on top of being good looking and the truth was she was enjoying herself. She wondered if she would get a second date out of him.
"My pleasure." she was just about finishing her meal and so was wondering what ...if anything, they were doing after they ate.

Vaughn smiled again. He realized that they were both almost finish with dinner, and he didn't want to leave her just yet. He was enjoying himself too much to let her get away so fast. Vaughn was going to bring up that they should go out again, but then he didn't want to bring it up at this moment, considering that would help end their 'date' end quicker.
"Would you care to go for a walk afterwords? Or is there anywhere else on your mind that you need to go to?"

"A walk?" she asked and then took a sip of her water as she thought about the fact that he had read her mind, "A walk would be...nice." she said when her lips were free again. She was a little more relaxed now eating her dinner and filling her stomach.

"Great," he said with a smile. Vaughn hadn't smiled so much in one night in a long time. He took his last few bites of his food and placed his silverware down. Wiping his mouth, he put his napkin on the table and took a drink from his glass.
For once, Vaughn was feeling happy. It was strange, but he didn't mind it. Feeling happy of course made Vaughn look forward to what was to come, rather than just live day by day in a boring way.

Later Nikita would go through the odd ins and outs of the date and wonder about her strange attitude during the date but for now she was content to be on it. This was all really strange for her, she hadn't enjoyed an evening or the company so much in a long while either and she almost didn't trust it, she was letting her guard slip but she was rationalizing that she was fine. "Great." she repeated.

As Nikita was finishing up, the waiter came by with their check. Vaughn paid for it and then looked back to her. He waited patiently for her to finish eating. She was a real beauty. He found himself thinking about her file for a moment. She could not be capable of doing what she was accused. Vaughn just couldn't wrap his mind around it. She was too nice. For once, Vaughn was going to look on the bright side. He was going to try and prove her innocent.
Once she finished, Vaughn smiled and stood up from his seat. He walked over to her seat and offered her his hand.

Nikita didn't realize it but a nervous feeling was settling in her stomach, he was...for lack of a better word too perfect. He wasn't the kind of guy she normally dated, and she realized she normally dated jerks because well...that's what she believed she deserved, whether it was true or not she didn't place much worth in herself when she was younger, no one else had either, and that stayed with her throughout her life, but Vaughn...he seemed like a real stand up guy so far...and it was scaring her somewhere inside.
She took his hand and stood after finishing her meal and gave him a small smile.

Her hand felt warm inside his. Vaughn felt like a teenage boy after he finally asked the girl out that he had a crush on for so long.
He led them out of the resturant and didn't let go of her hand. Vaughn started to slowly walk through the night with Nikita by his side. "It's a nice night out. Clear sky, all the stars are out shining bright. I think this is probably the first night I've actually paid attention to the night since school."

Walking with him she felt a small tingle of anticipation. She shivered when they hit the night air and leaned in a little closer for his body warmth, when he mentioned the stars she looked up, " I never paid attention in Astronomy...I just used to think it was pretty." she said with a shrug.

Vaughn chuckled. "I usually slept during Astronomy. Since it was a late class, I went to sleep then some how made it up to the Astronomy Tower." He continued to walk along with her. He noticed that she moved a little closer to him, but Vaughn wasn't complaining. He leaned a little closer to her to keep her warm. Vaughn wasn't sure if he should put her arm around her or not, so he just kept his hand in hers while they walked. He didn't want to push his luck too far.

She nodded walking was nice, but now awkward she didn't have much to say she didn't know what to say that would interest him and they had covered the basic topics at dinner, it was strange being this awkward around a guy.

He noticed that Nikita got quite and a slight awkwardness came between them. Vaughn wanted that to quickly end. "You know, you can talk about anything. I'm not going to laugh at you, or judge you by what you say." He grew quiet himself for a few moments.
Clearing his throat, noticing that she still wasn't saying anything. "I was wondering Nikita, if you would, um, like to go with me on another date some time within the upcoming week. I mean, I can understand if you don't. I just thought that I would ask."

"I just don't know quite what to...another date?" she asked catching that part. "I don't have one...for the ball I mean... I'm a chaparone...but I don't have a date...if you ...wanted to," she shrugged, " get all dressed up and go through the bother I mean."

He smiled a little as Nikita seemed to stumble for words. "It's a date," Vaughn said. "I haven't gotten dressed up in a long time. I don't see why it wouldn't hurt for me to get dressed up for something. After all, I wouldn't want you to be bored all night while you just watch the students dance around all night and you're just off alone in a corner watching." The words had just flowed out without him thinking.

She had stumbled for words she realized afterward and didn't like the fact. She gave him a placating smile but when she realized he said yes her smile became more genuine, "A date then."

Vaughn smiled and squeezed Nikita's hand. "I'm looking forward to it." He couldn't believe that he was going to a dance with her. He wondered how well his dancing skills were. "Do you want to go to the club one night? It could be before the ball if you want. Or we don't have to go at all."

"The club hmm.." she stopped walking and glanced up at him, "Yeah...I could brush up on my dancing skills." she smiled, she hadn't been to the club for dancing purposes anyway in a long while. The thought was amusing, and the idea entertaining she liked it alot.

"Excellent," he replied chuckling. "I need to brush up on my skills. I don't know if I can still dance." Vaughn grinned and continued to walk with her. "So, that will be where we go this upcoming week. We'll go to the club and just have fun. Who knows, we might end up being the best ones there." Vaughn liked the idea that he was laughing and grinning. No one had be able to make him do that in awhile. Now, he liked the idea that he had found someone that could do that. His vow to not get attached to Nikita at all was short lived. Now he wanted to get to know her more than what he did right now.

He was getting a bit carried away and she found herself on the same delirious cloud, "It sounds wonderful." she confided in him and she was sure they would do just fine dancing even if it was to their own beat.

Vaughn was extremely relieved that she hadn't turned him down. He must have been doing something right. He smiled to himself.
The two continued to walk around Hogsmeade, and before Vaughn knew it they were back at the castle. "Nikitia, I had a great time tonight. It's probably been the best night out that I've had. So, thank you."
