cressida elaine robinne Normally, Cress would have been delighted to be in a fancy dress at any type of party, especially one she was specifically invited to, but nowadays, it was difficult to excite her for anything. More than anything, she felt out of place being at a Quidditch gala with a team that she had not even played one match with. She knew she should count herself lucky to even be alive, to even still be part of a team and have a future career with them. She was part of the team as much as she could, attending every match from the sidelines, as well as most of the practices. No matter how difficult it was for her to sit there and watch them play, to suppress the envy within her. Soon, the Healers told her. If she continued her personal training as she did now; regaining her muscle and strength after being locked up in a dungeon for months, she would soon be cleared by the Healers to enter the pitch again. Training was what she had been doing most days over the past weeks, ever since she was allowed to leave St. Mungo's. She hadn't felt nearly as safe in the hospital after the visit of one of the Kindred members, threatening her that she needed to deliver their message to her best friend. She had barely been able to say a word to Verona when she came to visit her there, having only told her that she needed to stay away from Cress if she wanted to stay out of the hands of the Kindred. Her parents, who she was living with again after leaving the hospital, didn't really agree with Cress about her going to this party. She couldn't blame them for not wanting to let her out of their sight, they had attended a funeral for her after all, which she had learned after she magically resurfaced. But, Cress wanted to go here, thinking that dressing up in a beautiful gown would do her good. The opposite seemed to be true. Maybe it was the lack of heels that caused the lack of confidence, but it might as well be the fact that anyone she talked to only seemed to be interested in her absence at the beginning of the season. And so, Cress had retreated to the sidelines, or was at leats trying to when someone walked into her, and spilled their drink right into her dress. |

 Sonia loved parties. Quidditch galas in particular were an excellent excuse to get all glitzed up and drink far too many flutes of champagne. Despite not playing herself, Sonia’s social standing, and the fact that her older brother was a famous player for the Wasps, made it easy to snag an invite. Godric knew she needed a night off to relax- business with the Kindred was getting heavy, or at least heavier than it had been before. Trying to accomplish everything that Noa and Damian threw at her on top of the demands of her high-flying career, Sonia was exhausted. So she would take whatever excuse she could find to forget her troubles for a while, forget the way her hands looked with blood caked under her fingernails… Sonia dressed simply, but stunningly, in a fitted black jumpsuit with her favorite patent leather Louboutins. She relished in the heads that turned when she walked into the room, confidence on heels, radiance personified. It felt good to command attention, even the kind she was less enthusiastic about. It was sort of an open secret that Sonia preferred feminine company, though that didn’t stop the brasser of the less fair sex from trying. Much to her family’s dismay, Sonia was quick to rebuff the audacious ones who thought they stood a chance. She went directly to the bar, for the first of what she hoped was going to be many drinks, and after being served she perched herself to the sidelines of the party momentarily, surveying the scene. That was when she saw Cressida. Apparently the evening wasn’t destined to be leisurely after all. No rest for the wicked, it seemed. Dealing with Kindred assignments undisguised was less than ideal, she’d need to be careful. Sonia quickly formulated a plan, and before she could talk herself out of it, proceeded. Her move was calculated, but natural, it was too simple to accidentally bump into someone, spill the drink she’d been looking forward to imbibing, but this purpose was more important. “Oh, Merlin! I’m so sorry, kitten,” Sonia gushed, appearing flustered as she looked down at Cressida. What a shame, the gown really was lovely. “Let me help you clean up, goodness, can’t take me anywhere,” Sonia added, and without waiting for a response looped her arm through Cressida’s to steer her toward the ladies’ room.

cressida elaine robinne Cress regretted every decision she had made surrounding coming to the event that evening as she felt the sticky drink pour down into her bra and her underwear. Really, very glamorous. She wasn't one to cry very easily, but at that moment, she felt the sudden urge to burst into tears and run home to her parents. But she knew she couldn't, she was at a formal event, surrounding by Quidditch players and other high profile figures, and so she just forced herself to take a deep breath and not think about the cold liquid sipping into her dress. “Oh, Merlin! I’m so sorry, kitten. Let me help you clean up, goodness, can’t take me anywhere,”
Cress wanted to complain, wanted to tell the woman that it was fine and then quietly disappear from this party to go home. However, she didn't get a chance to, as the woman already looped her arm through her own and had started to pull her towards the bathroom of the venue. As they walked towards it, Cress realised that this woman seemed familiar to her, the way that she spoke and the pet name that she had called her. She didn't know many people who used the word kitten, to refer to people who they had never met before. However, Cress wasn't sure where exactly she had heard it before. At the same time, the woman's appearance only looked familiar to her from magazine covers. "You are Sonia Flint, aren't you?" She asked, as the two girls entered the bathroom. "I loved your latest cover for Witch Weekly," she said, grabbing one of the cotton hand towels in the bathroom, before starting to dry her chest. Though she could already feel that the liquid had gone way too far into her dress for her to actually be able to clean herself up like that. |

Sonia could see the protest beginning to unfold across Cressida’s features, but she wasn’t about to take no for an answer. Anywhere she could get the Order girl on her own, away from everyone else, would help her cause. Approaching her as herself, however, rather than in an anonymous disguise, was risky. Sonia would have to tread carefully. The Kindred had their mission, true, but she had reasons for keeping her membership secret, for hiding the Dark Mark on her forearm each day with glamours. It still made her shudder sometimes, to think of the implications of it. Sonia, for all intents and purposes, was stuck. It was serve, or be consumed. Luckily, Sonia got Cressida ushered into the bathroom before she could get away. She went to work helping to blot at the stain on her dress before it could set. “You are Sonia Flint, aren’t you? I loved your latest cover for Witch Weekly,”She offered Cressida a grin, shooting her a playful wink. “Guilty as charged, and thank you,” she said, procuring her wand. A quick series of charms dried up the spilled drink, leaving the dress no worse for wear, at least not that Sonia could see. She stashed her wand up her sleeve again. “I promise I’m usually a great deal less clumsy, I’m not even tipsy yet, that was my first one!” Sonia added, taking a few paper towels from the dispenser and running them under the faucet. She wrung out the excess water and held them to Cress, for her to better get the stickiness off her skin. “You must be the new Magpies chaser, Robinne, right? I don’t think I’ve seen you at one of these yet,” Sonia continued, silently calculating how she might slip the notion of Verona’s message more subtly into this conversation. MADE BY VEL OF GS |

cressida elaine robinne “Guilty as charged, and thank you,”
If she was correct, Sonia's cover had been the last one she saw before she had been captured by the Kindred. While her brother worked at the Daily Prophet, Cress was subscribed to Witch Weekly instead of the newspaper he worked at. Yet another piece of evidence of how different the Robinne siblings actually were. Sonia was truly gorgeous in person too, Cress could obviously see why she had become a world famous model.
“I promise I’m usually a great deal less clumsy, I’m not even tipsy yet, that was my first one!”
"Don't worry," Cress brushed her words away. "It could happen to the best of us I suppose," she said. She was grateful when Sonia used her wand to get the stains out of her dress. Cress herself was still trying to get used to her new wand, after hers had been destroyed during the safe house attacks. At least now she didn't have to walk back out into the party feeling all embarrassed because she stained her dress like an amateur.
“You must be the new Magpies chaser, Robinne, right? I don’t think I’ve seen you at one of these yet,”
Cress nodded while she used the wet paper towels that Sonia had handed her to clean up her skin, shoving them down her chest as well. "Yes, that's right," she said, "I actually haven't been at one of these before." Cress said, taking a moment to try and come up with an excuse. She wasn't really in the mood to tell this girl that she had been locked up in a basement by the Kindred much of the last months. "I wasn't in town during the summer, and I'm currently recovering from an injury which is preventing me to make my debut with the team," She explained, thinking that sounded believable enough. "I'm hoping that will happen soon though,"

"Don't worry. It could happen to the best of us I suppose,"Sonia beamed, though in a more sheepish way than she might ordinarily have. If the spill had been truly an accident she’d be a whole lot less confident in this little interaction. Sonia was not a clumsy person, prided herself on it despite her long limbs, she made her money with her grace, after all. But Cressida didn’t need to know that. “It already did, kitten,” Sonia teased, shooting Cress a quick wink. It was more like her to insert herself into the “best” category, things were coming a little more naturally now, but how to get back to her point? If she’d wanted to flirt she could have done so without the drink-spilling, getting Cress alone had been the point of that. She leaned against the sink, watching as Cress cleaned herself up. Now that she’d healed up a bit she looked well, very fit, very pretty. It was a shame that she’d somehow crossed Noa enough to have Sonia sent after her. She half-wondered what the girl even did, other than refusing to pass along a message that Sonia knew nothing about beyond whom it was supposed to go to. "... I wasn't in town during the summer, and I'm currently recovering from an injury which is preventing me to make my debut with the team. I'm hoping that will happen soon though," Sonia gave a sympathetic sort of wince. She of course, knew it wasn’t exactly the full truth, which could perhaps grant her the opening she needed. “Oh you poor dear, like being locked up, isn’t it?” Sonia cooed, boldly reaching forward to readjust the neckline of Cressida’s dress for her. It was subtle, but enough to grab Cress’s attention if she was observant enough. “Well I’m sure if the rumors are to be believed you are quite the sight out there,” said Sonia, lightly dusting off Cressida’s shoulders, “but you’re quite a sight here, too.” She winked again. Flirting wasn’t her plan, but what would it hurt? MADE BY VEL OF GS |

cressida elaine robinne “It already did, kitten,”
Cressida continued to smile softly at the woman who was standing in front of her. She couldn't shake the feeling that she looked familiar, in the way she moved and that she sounded familiar in the way that she spoke, the words that she used. But Cress couldn't put her finger on how exactly she knew the woman. As far as she knew, she only knew Sonia Flint from the public figure that she was, and perhaps she had seen her in the years that they were at Hogwarts together, Sonia being a couple years above her.
“Oh you poor dear, like being locked up, isn’t it?”
Her smile faltered slightly, throwing some of the paper towels into the bin next to the sink. Sonia's word choice was rather unfortunate, as being locked up clearly did not bring many good memories to Cress' mind. Sitting on the sidelines of the Quidditch field was much, much better than having to go through that. "Yes, it is a bit like it,"
“Well I’m sure if the rumors are to be believed you are quite the sight out there, but you’re quite a sight here, too.”
Her eyes locked onto Sonia's when the woman reached out to fix her collar and then dust off her shoulder. She was struck by the fact that the two of them were standing so close together. She could kiss the other woman if she wanted to, it had been months since she had kissed anyone. But she couldn't help but notice that Sonia was shamelessly flirting with her. In the bathroom of an event venue for Godric's sake. Her smile turned into a small grin when she continued to look at Sonia, reaching out to brush a piece of the woman's red hair behind her ear. "You're flattering me," she said, "Though I have to say that the camera does not do you justice either,"

Sonia’s choice of words seemed to have the intended effect, with the way Cressida had recoiled, stiffening as she went to toss out the paper towels. She pretended not to notice, she was only laying hints at the moment, and didn’t see the need to tip her hand just yet. At any rate, the delicate balance of keeping her professional and personal lives separate needed to be maintained. Sonia hadn’t planned on running into Cressida as herself, but she knew she’d be unable to afford passing up the opportunity. "Yes, it is a bit like it,"Sonia gave a sympathetic sort of smile, nodding her head a little. Fortunately putting Cress on edge hadn’t spoiled the entire interaction, and the girl came back to allow Sonia to continue fussing over her. Truly, she was glad to do it, Cressida was a sight for sore eyes, and if she wasn’t mistaken, she seemed to be just as into it as well, a hand of hers reaching to sweep a lock of Sonia’s hair from her face. She offered a better smile this time, the pair of them were so close together- it would be easy to press her lips to Cressida’s, just as simple as it would be to plunge a knife into her chest. But Sonia was rapidly losing interest in the latter in favor of the former, where was the harm in having a little fun? Her cover wasn’t blown yet, and if she could get Cress to trust her, maybe her target would play right into her hands. "You're flattering me.Though I have to say that the camera does not do you justice either,"Sonia chuckled, still trailing a slender fingertip across Cressida’s collarbone. She leaned in as if to kiss her, but stopped just short. “There’s plenty the camera doesn’t show,” Sonia purred, drawing back with a flirty wink. “Why don’t you let me get you a drink? I promise I won’t spill this one.”MADE BY VEL OF GS |

cressida elaine robinne Only then, Cress realised how quiet it was in the bathroom, away from everyone at the party. Somehow, it didn't make her feel worried though, instead she was enjoying the silence, and the talk with the beautiful woman in front of her. It wouldn't look the best, disappearing during her first official event as a player for the Magpies, but it was already a wonder that she had showed up anyways. It was surely going to be fine, she showed up, people had seen her, she had shown her face. Being in a bathroom with a beautiful stranger may be the best thing that could have happened for her at a party she didn't want to go to in the first place.
“There’s plenty the camera doesn’t show,”
Cress was mostly dried up one, as far as she could manage with some paper towels, and leaning against the sink as Sonia leaned in closer to her. She felt Sonia's finger trail her collarbone, tracing the leave that was tattooed on Cress' skin in that exact spot, as well as on the other side. Her eyes locked onto Sonia's as she came so close that their lips almost touch. It had been months since anyone had looked at her the way that Sonia did, let alone touched her like that. "Oh I'm sure of that," Cress mumbled back, her voice nothing more than a whisper.
“Why don’t you let me get you a drink? I promise I won’t spill this one.”
Oh, Sonia was incredibly cruel for pulling back in that moment. Though, Cress suspected that she knew exactly what she was doing to tease her. Cress shook her head at Sonia's suggestion, grabbing ahold of her hand and pulling her towards her right before Sonia wanted to walk off. "I have a better idea," she said, bringing them close to each other again. She didn't hesitate before pressing her lips against Sonia's, kissing her right there in that bathroom. It was only when she really had to pull away in order to breathe, that Cress pulled her lips off Sonia's. "I don't really feel like going back to that party, do you?" She asked, looking up at Sonia, her head slightly tilted to the side as a soft grin lay around her lips.

Cressida’s interest was palpable, the air between the women seemingly crackling with their mutual attraction. Sonia was beginning to lose sight of her reason for cornering Cress in the first place, though the distraction was welcome. She attempted to force herself to focus, this could be good, she could use this to play her target right into her palm. Sonia had done the same countless times before, especially in her school days, stringing along boys she was never interested in to get what she wanted from them. The fact that Sonia might actually want something from Cress, however, complicated things. “Oh I’m sure of that,”Sonia offered a wicked grin, trailing her fingertip down Cress’s collarbone again, just wanting to see the way she shivered at the touch. Her grin faltered in surprise as her target turned the tables, instead taking the lead and snatching Sonia by the hand before she could retreat. It seemed that some girls simply wouldn’t stand for being teased. Sonia’s grin returned instead as a devilish smirk as she threaded her fingers between Cressida’s, further entwining their hands. “I have a better idea,”Before Sonia could ask what that idea was (though she had a few guesses), Cressida surprised her again by closing the gap and bringing their lips together. Sonia returned it eagerly, her opposite hand going to the nape of Cress’s neck, her fingers slipping into her hair, releasing only when the other woman broke the kiss. "I don't really feel like going back to that party, do you?”Sonia grinned, trailing her fingertips lightly across Cressida’s cheek. This half-assed attempt really couldn’t have gone any better, but it was so hard to think about business when pleasure of the more carnal variety was calling her name. Maybe this was the right move, getting close to her instead of inhabiting the bodies of strangers. Maybe she could even have a little fun along the way… “Gods no, let’s sneak out the back,” Sonia agreed, leading the way. The party was fortunately in full swing, nobody seemed to pay them much mind as they slipped outside. “Yours or mine?” Sonia purred seductively. MADE BY VEL OF GS |

cressida elaine robinne Maybe Sonia hadn't cornered her for the right reasons, Cress still saw the way that she looked at her. It had been months since anyone had looked at her like that, it was only now that she realised how much she had missed that. Even if she didn't feel particularly beautiful after spending weeks locked up in a Kindred dungeon. In the past, she had always been the one to take the initiative, the one to walk up to someone who caught her eye, but it was nice to have someone else take the initiative for once. Not even just someone, but someone as beautiful as Sonia Flint.
Either way, she didn't hesitate to pull Sonia towards her when she threatened to walk away from her. There was still some of that fire left inside of her it seemed. And damn, was she happy that she took that step once their lips connected.
“Gods no, let’s sneak out the back, Yours or mine?”
After their kiss, Cress let Sonia lead her out of the venue. They were lucky that nobody, not even the press, was paying attention while the two of them snuck out. Two prominent professional Quidditch players leaving a party together early could have made some big sidelines in the tabloids. While she had been truly excited to get Sonia out of that jumpsuit, her smile faltered at Sonia's question. Cress was currently living with her parents again, and either way they would go crazy if she didn't come home in a couple of hours. It wasn't that she was a nineteen year old on a curfew, it was just that they wanted to keep an eye on her after everything that happened over the summer.
"You know what," Cress said, her hand grabbing Sonia's again. "You are getting too ahead of yourself tonight," she said, a teasing grin playing around her lips. There was no way Cress was going to admit the actual reason why she couldn't go home with Sonia. "I'll see you around," Cress said, once more connecting her lips with Sonia's. "You can try again after I have beaten you on the field," Cress said with a smile, before pulling away from Sonia.
