<Regulus>

While barty was fussing about a midnight party I took the chance to slip out of the house and go buy a gift for her; which was also a chance for me to take a deep breath,

Truth is; when I woke up this morning and found her clinging to me I didn't protest, I didn't even want to protest, a strange feeling of security and comfort controlled me and with my half awake brain I didn't give it much thought,

I mean yes, she asked me to stay in bed with her, she practically forced me but I didn't plan on falling asleep beside her and the thought of her being mostly drunk concerned me, I should have just denied and went off,

But what concerns me most of all; I liked this , I actually liked this, I liked the feeling of her between my arms and I liked the way she would turn every hour in her sleep and mostly I liked her presence, and that was something I couldn't ignore

After pacing around town for a while I couldn't find anything proper, everything was just dainty and cheap, but then again Carmen didn't seem like the type of girl who likes expensive presents, I remember hearing her rambling to barty about how embarrassing it is to receive presents that cost alot , so that was even more confusing

I wonder what barty got her

The thought of another buying her something better made my blood boil

I came across a narrow street and at the end of it stood an old boutique-like shop with dark wooden doors and a dusty sign that said 'Brooky antiques'

I decided to go in

The place was crowded with different objects and materials in every corner some even are left messy on the ground and I fought the urge to apparate on the spot

As promised there was many antiques but none caught my eyes, until the sunlight fell on something shiny which caught my eye

There at the very back was a beautiful emerald necklace with a gold toned locket and a golden chain

"Ah I see you found my favorite piece" A man that seemed to be in his thirties said scanning me with a mischievous gleam in his eyes

"I want it"

"Oh but it's not that easy, this necklace is special" he replied

"How?"

"Unlike any other, this necklace chooses the owner" he explained

"yeah right, how much is it?" I scoffed recognizing his well known scams

"300 galleons if it chooses you"

I handed him the money and went to reach for the necklace but a strange force pushed me back and I found myself laying on the ground

"what is that?" I said confused and stunned at the same time

"I told you it's special, ever since the day I found it between one of the many rocks by the beach, I couldn't sell it to anyone, not one wizard was able to touch it" he said and an immediate recognization hit me

Ofcourse he's a wizard

"You can have your money back if you want" he offered standing awkwardly behind the counter

Beside its aggressive power, the necklace was beautiful and just seeing it made me instantly think about Carmen, it's like it was made for her, but there was a chance that the necklace would have the same reaction with her, so I hesitated for a moment

Screw it

The necklace needed someone special and there was no one as special as her

"I'll take it"
