Outfit: www.polyvore.com/christinas_date_outfit/set?id=48251315Christina was happy to have an evening away from Hogwarts and her teaching duties. She had been wanting to check out the carnival that the town of Hogsmeade had set up in a large field just outside the town, not to far from the Shrieking Shack. She even had managed to convince Crispin to join her for a fun time. It had been hard the past few times she had talked with Crispin to get some alone time with him, and she was happy she finally succeeded. She was still a bit upset that he wanted her to leave him and go as far away from him as she could; as the night in the forest, but she had managed to put that thought in the back of her mind. She had gotten dressed in her red dress, her favorite red dress and put on her black heels and grabbed her clutch purse and headed out the doors of Hogwarts and made her way towards Hogsmeade to meet Crispin at the carnival. She finally arrived at the carnival to see it buzzing with kids and adults alike. She found a good meeting spot by the carousel to wait for Crispin. She had been to muggle carnivals before when she was a kid but that was long ago; not having been to one since. It was a nice evening and so she waited in the shadows for Crispin as she watched the hussle and bussle of the event.

Crispin sighed at himself in the mirror. A carnival? Really? It was not like he had not seen many of these in all his years. But yet he found himself going to another one. And why? Because Christina wanted him to. He sighed once more as he finished buttoning the black silk dress shirt. He was dressed all in black as he normally was. His hair was down and framed his face.
Grumbling to himself, Crispin left his room now and started for outside. As soon as he left the grounds of Hogwarts, Crispin apariated and when he reappeared, he was at the edge of the carnival. Crispin took in the growing crowd. He heard the sounds of the rides and the operators. The human food made him feel ill. It smelled horrible to him.
He slowly started forward looking for Christina. He saw students and other professors. A few greeted him and Crispin was civil as he normally was. It was not long before he came upon his girlfriend. It was hard sneaking up on another vampire but Crispin double around and stepped behind her. "A carnival, Chris?" He asked with a small grin. "He leaned against the near by wall. "You look beautiful."

Christina watched the crowd as they all hustled and bustled inbetween rides and food and such. Being a vampire was still a new experience to her so the smell of human food did not bother her as much as it did with Crispin. She kept an eye out for him as well as she watched the crowd; greeting a few as they passed.
After a few minutes a voice came up from behind her. "A carnival, Chris?" He asked with a small grin. Smiling, she turned around to see the handsome man dressed in all black smiling back at her. "You look beautiful."
Placing her hands around his neck, she greeted him with a kiss. "Hello there handsome," she replied, "I have been waiting for you and you alone. And what's wrong with a carnival?"

Crispin let his eyes move other red fabric wrapped frame as Christina moved towards him. His grin widened slightly. When she embraced and kissed him, Crispin's own arms went slowly around her waist. He returned the kiss gently.
Crispin had come to terms with her being here at Hogwarts. He did not like the fact that she was intentionally putting herself at risk for being here. And it was hard with Aphrodite now back more or less in his life and with him trying to train Gemma and her seemly crushing on him...as amusing as that might be.
"Nothing is wrong with it." Crispin told her now a the kiss ended. "Though it simply seems to have been done." As was said, he had seen a great number of these in all his many years. "But while we are here," He glanced around. Crispin took in the lights and the games. "How do you feel about a stuffed animal?" It was a date after all so why not be the good boyfriend.
He led the way towards the games and passed a number of them before coming to one that caught his interest. There was an array of stuffed toys as prizes as well as picture frames and other homey items. The game was a shooting one. There was a rifle loaded with pellets and one had to shoot a printed star off on the center of a piece of paper nearly eight feet away. Crispin had had his experience with weapons. He handed over his money and then picked up a riffle.
The game operator explained the rules and Crispin nodded before taking aim and firing. The sounds the riffle gave off were load and a bit deafening but that was fine. He concentrated on the paper and before the pellets ran out, the black star was gone. He had missed a few times and there were holes elsewhere on the paper but he had won a prize. Crispin looked to Cristina as he lay the riffle down and motioned for her to make her choice.

As their kiss ended, Christina just kept her arms around Crispin's neck for a moment allowing her hands to reach down and take his in her hands. She had missed him and she was loving the fact that they were both at Hogwarts together. "But while we are here," He glanced around. Crispin took in the lights and the games. "How do you feel about a stuffed animal?"
"A stuffed animal? Sure, after all, this is a carnival...so it would be fun without a little fun at playing games," she replied. Of course, she would have played her own little love games with Crispin, but that could wait until later perhaps.
They eventually came to a shooting game, which did not surprise Christina that Crispin would go for a game like this. So, she watched as he took aim and fired upon the target; knocking the target to bits of pieces of paper on the ground. Smiling, she wrapped an arm around his waist and pointed to a stuffed animal, "I will take that one. That big tiger up there."

Crispin smiled when her arms went around his waist. He liked making her happy and the game had been fairly easy. "I will take that one. That big tiger up there." Christina told the operator and Crispin followed the direction of her point. Once she had the tiger, Crispin kissed her over her temple. He turned them and began walking slowly. There were many other things for them to do and see.
"Whats next, love?" Crispin asked her now. He glanced over at her as they moved amongst the others in attendance. As vampires, they could move quite fast but Crispin was taking his time and being careful to move at human pace and fit in. Some of the professors and students at Hogwarts knew what Crispin was but not many. His eyes took in the many lights and the many different colors.
He was interested in a few of the rides. Not the rollercoaster. He was not one for heights ironically. Crispin preferred to keep his feet on the ground thank you very much.

Christina took a hold of the stuffed tiger as she gave Crispin a smile. She loved to enjoy every moment with him; a time she did not do often. She took his hand in hers as they walked away from the game area.
"Whats next, love?" Crispin asked her now.
"Just being here with you is enough for me, but how about the haunted house," she suggested, "Or perhaps the roller coaster or ferris wheel. Or whatever rides you would like to go on. I just want to spend time with you, something we don't do often."
She glanced around the scene at all the students, and staff, walking around the carnival. There was quite a few people there and it was getting more crowded as the hours went on. This was one of those nights where the curfews of the students did not matter. She nodded and acknowledged most that noticed her and Crispin, and some did not even blink towards her when they saw that she was with Crispin.
