It was a busy night at the Golden Goblet tavern in Dublin, the moon was obscured by thick black clouds and every now and then a thin moonbeam would make its way down to earth. The tavern was bathed in golden light from torches and lights, soft music being played by a local band filled the small room.
People laughed, played cards, drank, sung along and over-all they enjoyed the festive night.
A group of old witches and wizards, along with a few younger ones about 5 in all, sat around a table in the far corner, laughing about stories they were telling each other. One woman in particular was there...her wispy cherry-colored hair bouncing about as she laughed and spoke her tales of work at the ministry. Of course, every wizard at that table was an Auror...just by the looks of them.
"And then he cursed himself by accident!" The eldest wizard at the table said, soliciting laughter from all the others, "You should have seen it! It was SO funny...right Bella? You were there too!" He said, and much to her dismay, patted her on the back.
"Yep..." was all she could muster between with his hand pounding her square in the back.
She looked around, not many people at this bar seemed odd...except one man...

A man sat in the corner of the bar, cloak over his head as he took a sip of his drink. He stared over at the group of aurors, thinking his devious thoughts. It wasn't obvious about this mans origin or affiliates, and he hoped to keep it that way or else it would ruin everything.. now he just had to get close.... but how to do so without being suspicious...

Staring at the strange, dark man, Bella blushed noticably for a moment, before turning around to answer a question one of the elder Auror's at the table asked her.
"Well...the dragon had attacked Whales and we needed to defeat it...so..." SHe went on and on until the old man was satisfied and went back to doing what ever it was he was doing, Bella casting glances at the man she saw earlier.

The man continued to stare over there, watching the group cautiously. Should there be any sign of danger there for him he would simply leave, but for now he was perfectly safe.

Bella stood up and bade her farewells to the other aurors, before scuttling off- blushing more then ever- toward the door. However before she reached the man she was blushing because of her eye's met his, and they locked.
As she approached him she tripped on her robes and fell- flat on her face!

The man winced slightly as she fell and got up, walking over to her. He knealed down and offered her his hand, "need some help?" he asked her, head cast into shadows because of his hooded cloak, only his mouth visible.

"S-s-sure..." Bella said, blushing madly as she took the dark strangers hand and stood up, dusting her clothes off as she did. "U-uh...um..." She stood there awkwardly for a moment.

He helped her up and as he stood there lowered his hood, showing his raven black hair, smooth pale skin, and bright grey blue eyes. Crossing his arms over his chest, he smirked, "Seems you may have forgotten how to talk with that fall..." he said soft and smoothly. *it may be easier to get close to them then I thought.*

"Just a bit embarassed is all..." Bella said, smiling ditzly and rubbing the back of her head. "Um...name's Bella..." She said, smiling and giving a nervous giggle.

"I'm...Bella..." she said again, dumbfounded.

"I know, you just told me." he chuckled a bit, oh yeah it would be easy to get close.

My this is quite embarassing. Bella gulped quickly, looking about for a moment. "would you like to go for a walk with me?" She asked, not thinking of anything else at the moment.

"yeah, sure. A walk sounds nice right about now."

"Shall we go then?" She asked simply, holding out her arm for him to take.
