(Valkyrie Cain and Dexter Vex love story)The Descendants

Day 1; 8:05 P.M

The forks and knives clattered as the chattering people at the tables ate their meal. After Skulduggery and Valkyrie had gone to see Cassandra, China had booked for herself, Fletcher, Saracen, Gracious, Donegan, Ellion, Vivi and Alice to go out to a pub in Roarhaven for dinner. The two men who had come to serve them were ugly with rotten skin. One was fat and the other was skinny.

When Alice first saw them she whispered to Ellion, "What happened to them? They look like something that died!"

"Something like that." Ellion had chuckled at her accuracy, leaving Alice confused.

The two deformed men spoke to Saracen and China like they knew them but China looked like she wanted to punch them in the face and Saracen looked bored out of his mind. Alice sat next to Ellion and the two spoke about Harry Potter the whole time.

"Who's your favourite character? I love Tonks, Luna, McGonagall, Neville, Lupin and Ginny. They are all my favourites." Alice shoved a forkful of her steak with Dianne sauce into her mouth.

"Yeah, I love them all too. But Ginny's character in the movie is so underdeveloped. My favourite character has to be Sirius, he's awesome." Ellion replied.

"Yeah, I agree on the Ginny front. Aww, I love Sirius too! I cried so much when he died. If you had to choose one character to date in the series who would you choose?" she asked.

"Oh, that's a hard one. But I think I'd choose Ginny in the end just cause she's so feisty and determined. What about you?"

"Oh, either dean, because in the books he's pretty awesome, sweet and a great drawer and is kinda attractive, Or Neville because he's so adorkable and brave, or Fred or George because they are hilarious and so smart." Alice grinned.

"Well, you do have a wide range of qualities you like in a guy. But which character do you think you'd be most like if you were in Harry Potter?" Ellion Questioned, expecting her to say Ginny or Hermione but her answer surprised him.

"Hagrid." She said simply. No thought required, just 'Hagrid'.

"Hagrid! Why Hagrid?!" Ellion burst out laughing.

"Because I'm trustworthy even though sometimes I slip up and tell secrets but it's always to people who would do good with the information. But I also love animals like he does. Oh, and when I brush my hair and it's dry it goes all frizzy and I look like him."

"That'd be a sight to behold." He snorted and she laughed.

"Seriously though, I dressed up as him for a class competition and my friend Dove dressed up as Luna. We won. Maybe I'll be Hagrid for Halloween and I'll show you." She shrugged. "So who would you be?"

"I think I'm a mix of Dean, Neville, George and Fred." He responded.

"Oh, what a coincidence. All the guys I said I'd date." She rolled her eyes, but it was good-naturedly.

"What can I say, Hagrid's perfect for me." He said and they both erupted in fits of laughter. Next to Alice was Vivi and she was talking with Saracen about the bachelor.

"Oh, I predict with my third eye of 'I know things' that Richie will end up with Alex," Saracen told Vivi and her eyes opened in wonder.

"Oh! Did you hear the news? Richie's already married with the girl who won and it's out of Alex, Olena and Nikki!" she told him and his jaw dropped.

"No way! How do you know?" he was so interested in the subject it was hilarious.

"I saw it on the cover of a magazine I stole from the angry man who owns the old shop here last week," Vivi exclaimed.
