ShadowBane Holidays. (All people invited)

Jareth had been waiting and waiting for the holidays, finally he had been given a short break by his family. They weren't happy that he was repeating, it wasn't his fault though, he had a party life to keep up with! One thing he was happily waiting for was Alyson, he couldn't wait for her. He was outside near the gates, waiting for his Holiday Date to arrive. To be honest he was nervous, he knew he had made a fool of himself. Falling briefly in love with the head of the black widows, for about five minutes before she stabbed him. He had a small bunch of roses in his hand waiting for her.

Lucas was waiting for his girlfriend, Aurora. He had invited her to stay the holidays with him and his dysfunctional family. He was excited to see her again, and to introduce her to everyone. He just wished his little brother would behave, and not be starstruck by her. He had on a simple tunic and black pants, surprised to see his little brother had a small bunch of roses. Lucas walked back and waited closer to the house, he had briefly brought Aurora here before. Mainly so she could see where to apparate.

Aurora had gotten an invite to spend holiday with Lucas. That was when she decided that she needed to take some time off for herself and to spend with Lucas. And she was excited to meet his family, she knew that her sister would have loved him. That was if she was still alive. Today she tried to keep it simple, just a nice summer dress and heels. She hoped that nobody would find out that she was here, because she knew that the prophet would take pictures and it would be in the papers. But she just wanted to spend alone time with Lucas. They had just started to date and the papers haven't found out yet. She then apparated to where Lucas lived. She had only been there once. Aurora smiled as she seen Lucas standing there. “ I am so glad that I could make it.”

Jareth watched as Lucas's girlfriend appeared...Aurora Dourse. The woman who was his favourite celebrity. "LUCAS YOU DIDNT TELL ME YOUR GIRLFRIEND WAS AURORA DOURSE!" he yelled, running over to his brother and tripping as soon as he got near. "I'm okay. I'm okay" he said, trying not to blush.

Aurora, this is my younger brother. Jareth Lucas introduced his younger brother.

"Younger, hotter, cuter" Jareth replied, trying to regain his composure. "Its an honour to meet you Miss Dourse, I pray that my boring brother won't annoy you too much"

Jareth, shouldn't you be waiting for YOUR guest? Leave poor Aurora alone, otherwise I'll tell her of your posters" Lucas threatened kindly to his little brother.

"Fine fine! I'm going I'm going!" Jareth replied, bowing slightly to Aurora before walking back and waiting for his own date. How could his brother be dating a celebrity and not tell him?? It just wasn't fair! Of course he had fallen in love with Alyson, but a celebrity was a celebrity! He stood grumbling slightly, waiting for his own date to appear.

“ I am so glad that I could make it.”

"I am so glad you made it too" Lucas replied before his brother had gotten in the way. "Aurora this is my younger brother. Jareth" He explained as the buffoon appeared and tripped over his own feet. Lucas sighed and rolled his eyes as Jareth tried to impress the poor woman.

"Jareth, shouldn't you be waiting for YOUR guest? Leave poor Aurora alone, otherwise I'll tell her of your posters" Lucas threatened kindly to his younger brother, gently implying for him to leave. As he did Lucas turned to Aurora. "That was my brother, I'm sorry if he offended you. You are kind of a celebrity crush to him, don't worry he will become his normal idiot self again as soon as he gets used to his boring older brother having a girlfriend." Lucas said to his girlfriend, kissing her softly on the lips. "It is good to see you, come on. I had better show you around properly. "

Aurora then watched as who she guess to be Lucas brother get excited over her. This was something that she was used to because it would happen where ever she would go. But she then watched as he tripped over his own feet. Aurora just stood there and smiled as this was something that Lucas was going to have to get used to. Was people fanning over her because she was a celebrity. But she couldn't help but give a small giggle since it seemed like Jareth was trying to impress her. “ Well it is an honor to meet you too Jareth. And please you can call me Aurora.” She couldn't help but smile “ But I don't find your brother boring.” She hoped that this wasn't something that she would have to go through every time she would come for a visit.

She then watched as he left. And Lucas then started to say how sorry he was for his brother reaction. But she then started to smiled. “ No I wasn't offend by him, I actually thought it was cute. I get that reaction where ever I go. Well most of the time but that comes with the price of being famous.” Aurora then kissed her boyfriend back. “ I am glad to be here, this shall be a nice break.” She then liked the idea of being shown around.

Lucas smiled as Aurora kissed him back, he gently took her hand in his and started walking. He charmed her bags to go on ahead. " Well you've met my bumbling brother now, as well as my parents. The only one you have yet to meet is ..Thana" Lucas said taking her up the driveway.

" She is currently out, she doesn't exactly like big crowds but don't worry she is more than hospitable. She will introduce herself when she is ready. Now as you can see we have the entrance, and obviously the house" He explained, walking with his girlfriend up to the massive house that Thana was sole heir off. The entrance was impeccable, but it always was thanks to Thana.

" There are very few house rules Aurora, the only one that Thana asked me to tell you is not to go to the West Wing, it's still under repair and we don't want anyone to get injured. Also this house isn't like most Purebloods, it has electricity and modern inventions" Lucas kindly informed her, gently squeezing his hand. " We will have tons of time to explore the gardens and beyond, shall I show you the inside of the house?" Lucas offered.

Thana stood inside ShadowBane Manor watching as the beginning of the guests arrived, She could see Lucas and Aurora walking up. She was in the West Wing, where she knew no one would come or be able to see her. She didn't want to see anyone really, to be honest it wasn't that she didn't want to know people. She just knew that people knew she was injured, and didn't want people to think she was a cripple. . She watched as Jareth went and tripped over his feet at Aurora, she smiled softly. The holidays would be good for everyone else, for Thana there was only one person she really wanted to see but couldn't.

Aurora was smiling as she was loving the time that she was spending with Lucas. “ Well your family seems very nice. And I can't wait to meet Thana since I am sure that she has to be someone special to you.” She then started to walk up the driveway with him. “ I am sure that I will get to meet her sometime before the holiday is over.” She then smiled as he was going to show her around the house . “ Where ever you would like to start. I am sure that it is beautiful.”Aurora remembered that it was beautiful when she seen it. But she knew that the Dourse manor would always hold a special place. And she knew that there was no other house that would be more beautiful than it.

She then listened as he was explain some rules. “ I won't go in the west wing, even if I am tempted by curiosity.” She then listened as she was told it wasn't like most pureblood homes. “ I am sure that it will be a different experience for me.” Aurora was most excited about seeing the gardens again. “ You can show me whatever you want.”

“ I am sure that I will get to meet her sometime before the holiday is over.”

"Yes you will, she will be joining us for dinner so do not worry. " lucas replied, gently walking her out to the back. It was his favourite place, Thana had made it very liveable. She had even put in a waterslide and a pool, ( http://icoupie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/waterslide-in-the-private-pool-of-mansion-with-beautiful-ocean-view.jpeg , without the ocean)

Lucas walked with Aurora around to the gardens, by day they were beauty. By night purely magical, Thana had gone to a lot of work to design them and make them work. She had flowers from everywhere, all in different colours.

"I do hope you will enjoy your time here, I hope you will like getting away from the paparazzi." He said, gently walking and leading her to a small seat on the garden. "Would you like to sit?" he offered, "It gives you a good view for the whole gardens. They are more magical at night" he explained

Alyson felt bad for the delay, she was extremely nervous and listened to her mother give her the 'talk'. It was extremely embarrassing. The blonde arrived at the gates and rang the bell. She didn't even know if Jareth was home or not and there was a part of her (a small one) that wanted her to turn around and leave, but a big part convinced her to stay. Alyson took a few calming breaths and waited for someone to let her in.

Jareth let out a huge sigh of relief as he saw Alyson arrive at the gates, he quickly pressed the button to open them and went to greet her. " Hello Alyson.." He said awkwardly , they hadnt seen each other since the ball. He quickly handed her the flowers he had picked, " I am glad you could make it. Welcome to ShadowBane manor"

Alyson smiled when Jareth let her inside. He came to greet her and she realized that the last time she saw him, it was at the ball. "Hey, I'm glad you invited me, this place is lovely by the way" she said looking up at his place. The blonde accepted the flowers and sniffed them. "They're beautiful, so what has my lovely penpal been up too?" She asked in wonder. She hadn't really had time to talk to him because of everything that went down and she didn't know if he still wanted to talk to her or not.

At the question of what Jareth had been up to he smiled, " Countin down the days until I got to see your beautiful face again" he replied, watching as her bags zoomed off. " They'll be in the house waiting for you" he explained.

" I'm glad you like the look of it, I hope we can have some fun over the summer. Did you bring your broom?" Jareth asked, already he could imagine the fun they could have. " Oh fair warning, everyone practically invited a guest, but its a rather large house so privacy is abundant. There will just be lots of people running around" Jareth said, looking at Alyson. With the way she was dressed and how she had her hair made her incredibly sexy.

Alyson felt a smile along with a blush come to her face. "You're just saying that, I'm not that pretty" Alyson reassured his compliment. Her bags went inside the house and she nodded when Jareth explained where they were going. "Thank you."

Alyson grinned. "Of course I brought it.... amongst other things" she flirted. For some reason he brought this side out of her. When he explained the guests that were coming, she simply nodded. "As long as you and I can spend time together I don't mind."

you're  just saying that, I'm not that pretty"


Jareth shook his head , " I never said you were pretty. I said you were beautiful" he replied, gently and slowly putting out his hand for her to take.



Of course I brought it.... amongst other things

Jareths head was practically reeling, Alyson was flirting and doing a damn good job of it! " Well where would you like to see first? There's a suprise around the back if you don't mind water, or we can tour  the gardens or the inside if the house . Oh better tell you, West Wing is off limits. It's to unstable and hasn't been fixed yet " Jareth explained " it's the locked door, there's only one so if you come across it you shall know" Jareth said kindly.

Her blush got deeper and she hesitantly put her hand in his. "You don't have to say that but thank, I must say you're looking hot yourself" damn, she was on a roll, she didn't even know where all the flirting was coming from.

Alyson had to keep the smile off her face when she saw his reaction to her not so subtle flirting. Jareth began asking about where she'd like him to show her first and her Professor stepped in with his warning of something. She nodded. "Don't worry, I won't go there" she reassured him. Then she turned back to Jareth and whispered kind of seductively. "I'd like to see your bedroom first."

Jareth groaned inside as Alyson kept flirting , when she said about seeing his bedroom he nearly died. " Aren't you daring today?" He commented , " Well the rooms are in the manor. Lets go Babe" he said, guiding her to the house .
