Alastor laughed at Grace's subtle joke. He sometimes had a tendency to flirt with Danielle the only other healer in the entire hospital that he would let do anything more than talk to him. She was young and full of life and it made Alastor feel good to see her smile, made him feel like he was standing for something. Looking Grace deeply in the eyes a small hint of sadness crept into them.
"Grace ...you know that if this becomes more than one date.." He paused he didn't know how to explain this to her properly. "I'm not a very liked man in the world of dark magic...if.." He couldn't bring himself to say it either because he was afraid it wouldn't become serious or he was afraid of what could happen if it did he didn't know but the words refused to leave his lips. Closing his eyes he mustered his strength, it had to be said and it had to be now.
"Grace is this turns into something serious there is a chance they might come after you to get to me, also there is the chance that at any moment I might not be able to block that one spell that....that ends my life." Pausing he let Grace absorb what he had said so far, he knew it was a lot to deal with he had taken a long time to come to terms with it but he had and he hoped Grace could. "I just want you to know, so you don't walk into something blindly."

Grace sat still listening to him and thinking about his words. It was a lot to take in. On one hand, that he even considered that this might become more serious, or for that matter more than one date was one thing. The fact he thought it enough to try to warn her about what it would mean was another. But then the continued and she knew what he was asking was a very real danger. She was very intelligent, and a skilled witch in her own right. But she was no fool to think that she could easily escape death if it was meant for her. She also know that as skilled a wizard as Alastor Moody was, he was not invincible. His health record could easily attest to that fact, and even she knew he'd been lucky to survive some of the things he had so far. Indeed it was something that was a lot to take in, but it was also something she had already known in the back of her head.
"Thank you, for the warning. And I know the risks you take each day. I know that each day might be your last. But you and I both know something dark is coming. That student, Katie, is evidence of that. If an innocent child can be killed in the manner she was, then any one of us can be at any time for the right reasons or none at all. As much as I do not like death, it finds us all in the end. All we can do is make the world a better place while we are here. And try our best to make a difference, and live each day as if it might be our last. Only then is life worth living for. To help where we can, and to have no regrets." She paused a moment before speaking again.
"I will be honest, I've never had a serious relationship with anyone before. Sure a few dates but never anything serious. Because I don't want to have regrets of wasting my time being with someone that I know would never work out. I am devoted to my job as much as you are to yours. And I know that. I would never expect you to change, and I know the dangers that would entail. But I can say this. I would rather have one perfect day with you than never know what it would have been like if either of our lives ended tomorrow. And I can't see that would ever change, though I know that if things were to be serious with us.. that I would be devistated to loose you. That doesn't mean I would ever have regrets though, I would cherish the memories to take with me until my time came to join you. Just as I cherish the memories of my parents, just because they are gone, doesn't mean they aren't always with me."

Alastor sat dumbfounded staring across the table lost in disbelief that he was actually witnessing this. It was true he had never even been this far but to hear what he just heard, it was impossible. He barely acknowledged the waiter as he brought the food to the table and walked away. After a few more moments he shook his head and realized he was staring at a dream come to life. Looking down at the table, grasping her hand firmly he spoke slowly and surely. "I've always dreamed of meeting someone who won't betray me to my enemies, who will stand next to me through thick and thing."
Slowly looking up his sad, tired eyes met hers and almost immediately, they seemed more vibrant, more happy. "Grace, if i'm dreaming then I have no reason to regret this." Leaning across the tably, he gently placed his hand under her chin as his lips met hers in a soft, gentle embrace. Sitting back in his chair he shook his head again.

Grace felt him kiss her, and she felt for that moment very cherished by it's gentleness. And she wanted more of them. And then he was gone and her eyes fluttered open.
"If you're dreaming then don't ever wake up, because I am sure that I liked that too much to give it up when you wake. And I would never betray you to anyone, I would die before I did that.. regardless of what the future holds for us." And she meant all of what she said, and it was written on her face.

Alastor couldn't remember a time he had been happier. This couldn't be a dream, he would never in his life thought he could be this happy. He never even knew this kind of happiness existed. "Grace, even if this date ended right now and you were to disappear forever, I want to tell you that you've shown me a level of happiness I never knew existed. For that, I could never properly thank you." He smiled at the incredible woman he had done things to him that no one ever had and Alastor respected her for that, she got past his guards and captured the deep fiber of his being.

Grace wondered if it was contagious because she was feeling like she never had before with any man. Alastor Moody was slowly taking over her heart with each moment and she was already looking forward to seeing him again. And she wasn't sure she even wanted this date to end anytime soon. Something felt right about it, and she knew she would never regret spending time with this interesting and unique man who she had never seen with that look in his eyes. A look that warmed her heart and stole over her breath.
"Alastor, I don't want tonight to end. I don't want this to be our last date. And I know that if I didn't try to see where this leads us, I would regret it. Do you think you could ever be with someone who will make you sit and be healed until the job is done? Someone who cares enough to make you happy?"

Alastor laughed as Grace asked him about being with someone who makes him sit through and entire examination. Alastor didn't care how many checkups this woman gave him, there wasn't much she could do to not make him happy. "Grace, only if that person is you.." The words slipped out of his mouth without his realizing it. Much like most of their conversation had, Alastor was in new territory and he was as lost as a small child in the forest.

"Careful, I might like being the only person to lay my hands on you and heal your wounds." She smiled playfully. "Though, I might require more regular checkups from you, Mr. Moody. And if you plan on dating me again, I'd also recommend a full physical exam just to make sure you are able to keep up with me." She was enjoying giving him a taste of her own brand of flirting that she'd never done before to any man. Had never wanted to, until now.

Alastor grinned at the cunning witch sitting before him. The seriousness had left and she was playing with him. Deciding he would play her game he carefully planned his move. This was another thing Grace was good at, keeping him on his toes. He had caught him off guard before but he was ready now and wouldn't let her get the best of him..yet. Leanig in close, his head rested on the palm of his hand. "I'm sure young Dani has other patients who require her tender caress more than I ever have or will." Winking at Grace, he blew her a kiss before pulling back some.
Almost as if struck by lightning he knew what he would say to her last two statements. Standing up he moved around her once more and kneeled down behind her. Leaning in close his breath brushed against her ear. "As for your last two requests dear heart." His lips brushed her ear lightly, teasingly. "Your place or mine?"

Before he had a chance to move away from her she reached up behind her, trapping his head right were it was this time. She let her fingers run through his hair as she tilted her head towards his, "both" she whispered back and her fingertips touched the skin on his neck below his robes. "I have every intention of making sure we don't miss a spot during your exams." She emphasized it with a a kiss on the corner of his lips.

Smiling as Grace kissed him on the corner of his lips, he liked this game. Gently placing his hand on her upper thigh, he whispered into her ear. "You know, these death eaters have marks on their bodies." Lightly nibbling on her ear between each word he continued. "Maybe I should examine you just to be....safe." The last word escape in a breathy, sigh. Removing his hand from her thigh, he slowly begin kissing her neck, slowling moving around behind her until he reached her other ear. "Go easy on me dear heart, i'm injured." Ending his move, he placed another light kiss on her ear.

She shivered slightly when he touched her thigh and bit her lower lip. With each kiss she felt warmer than before. "You better check me for marks soon then, just to make sure I don't take you home and lure you into my trap before it's too late." she spoke in a near whisper her voice breathy from his hand on her thigh.
When he reached her other side she let out a very soft moan before she could stop it. "We'll have to verify your injury with my professional opinion first. I might need to provide you with physical therapy if the damage is extensive."

Yes, Alastor liked this game very much and Grace was a more than worthy opponent. Her beauty, her cunning, her playfulness. Women like this only came around every millenium or so and Alastor had been lucky enough to catch her. Pondering his next move, he decided to play with her first to give him time to decide. "You know Grace.." Pausing for a moment he nibbled lightly on her neck. "I can get used to this.." Taking another small nibble he planted a light kiss on her ear. "Well you had better eat then if you wish to examine me, i've been told it can sometimes be a bit difficult keeping me still.
As the words slipped out of his mouth in a low whisper, his hand slid around to her stomach and slow worked its way down to her thigh. "I'm assuming sweet one, that dessert will be to go?"

Grace was going to need to keep up her strength just to get through the meal, let alone an examination of the difficult Alastor Moody. His kisses and nibbling were sweet torture. He was more than a match for her, and she was enjoying this little game very much.
And then his hand slid down and she bit her lip. His words were like fire to her body. If they didn't eat soon, dessert wasn't going to be the only thing to go. "I have a feeling that dessert is going to be my favorite part of this evening. But I think my steak is ready to be eaten." She turned her head enough that she could kiss his lips as her hand pressed his roaming one towards the inner thigh.

Alastor nearly cringed as Grace kissed him and pressed his hand on her inner thigh. Truth be told, Alastor had eaten before he came to dinner. He was only here for Grace and now he sorely wished Grace was back with him at his apartment. Holding his hand to her inner thigh, he lightly nibbled on her lip as he pulled away from the kiss. "Then eat lover, i'm not stoping you." Deciding it would be in his favor to giver her incentive to eat quickly, he moved his hand up her thigh a couple inches while placing a light kiss on her cheek.
Removing his hand he decided one last nibble on the ear couldn't hurt before standing up and returning to his seat, his eyes fixated on the beauty before him.

If Grace had needed any incentive that would have done the trick as her blood raced through her veins. This man was her very own fallen angel and he was tempting her beyond reason. She gave a very feminine moan as he kissed her cheek, and then nibbled her ear again.
When he finally removed his hand stood up she ached with the loss of his presence. She wanted him and there were no two ways about that fact, and she didn't need a healing degree to tell her that either.
It was a very long few minutes before she was able to calm down enough to even pick up utensils, and his eyes on her wasn't helping matters any. "Eat" she whispered very softly unable to really speak at that moment, she knew he'd need that strength too if desert lived up to it's promise.

Alastor could almost hear the yearning in her voice, just from one simple word he knew he had her. There would be dessert and it would be epic. Smiling at the beautiful mediwitch he leaned in slightly. "Oh I plan on it love, soon enough." Licking his lips, he sat there his eyes still fixated upon Grace as he slowly nibbled on the large amount of food he had ordered for no real reason than to hide the fact that he only came here tonight for her.

Grace managed to blush then, her cheeks flushed with a tint of red but there was a smile on her lips as she ate and promise in her eyes. He was definitely her very own fallen angel sent to torture her. And she knew without a down that in the course of one meal, he'd managed to put his brand on her heart and she couldn't be happier about it. She slipped off her heels and slid her foot under the table and into his lap just to make sure he didn't forget about desert while he ate.
But she did eat, and apparently had gained an appetite.. though the food just wasn't easing the type of hunger she had at the moment but she ate a good portion, watching him the whole time. And finally she pushed the rest of her food away. And each time she saw Alastor lick his lips or his tongue appear to take a bite she could swear he was teasing her and it was working.

As Grace sent her foot under the table it took every ounce of willpower Alastor could muster to keep from throwing her over his shoulder and sweeping her away back to her house in Godrics Hollow. Instead he placed his hand over her foot to keep her from moving it, no it was torture but it was oh so much fun. Smiling across the table at the lovely mediwitch his eyes held promises of a very rewarding dessert.
As she at a good amount of food and pushed the rest of her plate away, his excitement nearly overwhelmed him. "Are you finished sweetheart? You know...dessert is waiting for us back in Godrics Hollow and from what I heard." Pausing, he leaned in close and lowered his voice to a low whisper. "It's delicious." Licking his lips one more time he sat back in his chair and smiled at the lovely Grace.

Grace might not be able to wiggle her foot anymore, but she could still wiggle her toes when mentioned dessert again in answer. A wicked innocence flashed in her eyes. "Does this mean you're going to introduce me into the world of sweets?" She was healer she was not innocent in knowledge, but in the truest sense of the word she was still innocent in experience.
Though it was not from any moral reason or hesitation, just that as she'd said before.. no one had ever gotten past dinner or a kiss from her, and she had never felt as if she'd missed it. There were always other more important things to do. However right now, she could think of nothing more she wanted than this man.
