So there he stood, a place he wound up just about every night right around this hour - the lake outside of Hogwarts castle. Standing there, staring at his reflection he was beginning to mellow out after a fun night of dancing at the Spring Fling. Yet, for some reason, he couldn't quite settle himself. He knew why, it was obvious, but all he could do was stand next to that lake and look at himself, alone, all alone. He didn't like it very much.

Sylence was walking about the rouns with a frown and her guitar straped to her back. A guitar on Sylence's face was a rare sight ... unless it involed AJ. She quickly reached her favorite tree and started strumming on her guitar. It was a beatiful nice, peaceful and lonely. She let the melody coming from her guitar depict the mood.

Suddenly, a ripple began to form towards the bank of the lake. Something was causing vibrations, soft and peaceful vibrations - it was music. Robert listened to the tune for a moment, intrigued by where it might be coming from he listened intently as he began to head towards the melody playing in the night.

Sylence let the lyrics slip out before she could stop them.

"I climb I slip I fall.
Reaching for your hands.
But I lay here all alone.
Sweating for your love.
If I could find out how.
To make you listen now"

(Lyrics:Paramore-Till Tomorrow)

And there she was, Sylence Cladenstine, sitting by the lake as the radiant moonlight shone down on her ambient figure, her ambient soul. Sylence was her name, but Robert knew her better as the dancing angel. He had always heard that Angels could do beautiful things, she could dance beautifuly, that was for sure, yet little did he know just how beaitufly she could sing. He listened intently to her song...

If I could find out how.
To make you listen now

As he walked closer she had stopped singing for a moment. He bent down on one knee so that his lips were lateral to her ear. He then spoke just a few words, but words he could only hope she would remember forever.

"Because I'm starving for you here, with my undying love and I
....I will..."

He stared into her majestic green eyes, waiting, hoping, wishing.

Sylence stared at him. She pulled her hands off the guitar and brung it up to rub gently on his cheek. A smile sliipped onto her face as her eyes sparkled "Hello there Robert" she said gently.

She wondered what kind of promises the look in his eyes held as she ran her hands gently through his hair. Being with him made her calm and happy. The night was no longer sad, lonely or cold.

The touch of her soft, delicate hands against his face sent a shiver down his spine - as though someone had just dripped ice cold water onto his back after being overheated to the extent of exhaustion. So refreshing, so uplifting, perhaps it felt almost too good - if possible.

He then put his hand on top of hers and guided it onto her guitar strings. At first she looked at him a bit perplexed, however then it seemed as though she was realizing - he wanted her to finish out the song.

He then moved over so that he was sitting next to her against the tree, he looked up at the white light shinning down from the moon, and as he put his arm around her slowly, gently, he stared deeply into her eyes, waiting for her to play, waiting for anything - for whatever she desired, he desired that much more.

Sylence relaxed into his arms as she stared into his eyes and sang the second verse of the song.

"I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Reaching for your hands
But I Lay Here All alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love and I
....I Will"

She could tell that his look called for so much more. She continued to strum the interlude between the verse in the chours as she stared into his eyes. With her emerald orbs she tried to show him that it was okay. It was okay for him to do as he pleased. She was clay in his hands. He could kiss her or make her his right now and she'd go blindly into anything. If he promised to care.

"...I will...."

Her words echoed throughout his determined mind, yes, he knew what he wanted, he even knew what she wanted. He looked into her eyes one final time before finishing such a fateful open ended sentence.

"...kiss you..."

He said unto her as he moved in closer. Their lips connected just like their hands had at the Spring Fling, two lonely pais of lips, now joined together. For little did Robert know, that it wasn't her hands that were lonely that night, and it wasn't even her lips that were without company underneath such a beautiful tree, it was her soul, that had now so deeply touched his soul - company was presented where company was best needed.

He kissed her. Sylence relaxed and let the moment take her away. She normally didn't. She kept herself well guarded an hidden behind a shield of arrogance and smiles. She didn't need that shield when around Robert.

Once she pulled from the kiss she stared into his eyes. Just stared. A comfortable silence settled around them. For a split second she wondered how many other girls he had swept off their feet in Hogwarts. How many other girls he sang with under trees. She tried in vain to erase the thoughts that wanted to ruin her night.

Sylence was a bit pessimistic but she tried desperatly to let her rational thoughts go. She felt herself frown and to hide it she quickly came in for another kiss hoping he hadn't notice her frown.

Staring intently into her countenance Robert noticed that Slyence seemed a bit distraught. He tried to ignore it and continue, however something seemed wrong. He then bit his bottom lip and motioned for her to continue playing her guitar. He would then say only one thing before walking off into the night.

"Dont' ever let your gut feelings out-weigh that of which your heart feels. After all, my dear, if you did that, perhaps that night on the dance floor never would've happened."

He would then kiss her on the cheek.

"Just follow your heart..."
