RP: Something Magical
Date: 25 November 2005
Characters: Rabastan Lestrange
Location: Old Stone Church Residence
Status: Private
Summary: Rabastan ponders plans for Narcissa's birthday.
Completion: Complete
Learning how to make cottage pie simply because Narcissa occasionally ordered it when they were out for lunch, and he wanted to be able to make it for her if she liked it, was not exactly the kind of surprise he had in mind for her birthday. For that, he needed something special, something magical, something like the glasshouse or the phoenix that would both surprise and delight.
The present was simple. Rabastan had finished sorting that weeks ago. He was fairly certain she would like it and he could not think of anyone he would want to have that particular treasure more. It had taken some time to work out the charms upon it and to create the second present to accompany the heirloom, but it had been surprisingly simple once he finished dissecting the charm work. It was currently stored safely away in the vault. He would bring it home with him on Friday so he would have it next Saturday for Cissy's birthday.
Rabastan had Narcissa's agreement to join him somewhere special, but he had simply told her that he had not finalized the plans because he had not been positive she would be free. It had been the truth, just not the complete truth. He had not anticipated finding the right location for the celebration would be so difficult a task. She usually enjoyed anywhere he took her, so he was not sure why he was having trouble until he gave in and admitted to himself that he wanted to spoil her. He knew that his idea of romance was not always conventional, but it was nice to indulge, particularly since she was the one that brought it out in him. Maybe he was going about this wrong. Maybe all he really needed was a hundred orchids and a soft bed to... Rabastan chided himself for thinking with the wrong head. Although orchids definitely belonged on the list. He decided to get dressed and pay a little call on an old friend before he was due at Auror Headquarters this afternoon. Rabastan had an idea.
