Hektor was wandering through the hallway when he stumbled upon a strange looking wall. He pressed his hands to it, and somehow, it opened to some weird room.
Once there, Hektor went and found Holly - the girl who he wanted to be with. Hektor showed Holly the wall, and then walked her inside.
"I wonder what this room does..." Hektor wondered aloud. Standing there, he awaited her response.

Holly stuck her head into the room with an idea of what it could possibly be. Holly shut her eyes and imagined a forest full of animals and wild flowers. At once, the room transformed into what her mind asked. "It is like that room from Magic International. Remember? You think of what you want and it makes it come true? I wonder if every wizarding school has one of these..." Holly grabbed Hektor's hand and pulled him into the woodlands.

"The woods?! Why the woods?!" Hektor didn't enjoy being around all the flowers, 'cute' little bunny rabits, and other things. He would rather be in an open plain - he was rather claustrophobic. However, when Holly mentioned Magic International and the other room that he had been in with her, he wondered the same thing.
"I wonder... if this one has the same magical properties as the one at MI." Immediately, Hektor thought of an open, hilly plain with sparsely placed trees - very much like the terrain of his native town in Greece.

Holly shook her head blinking, startled by the sudden change of scenery. The brunette inhaled, taking in the lovely scent of fresh air. Ripping herself free from Hektor's hand, she jumped across the plain rolling around in the grass. A dust particle fell between her eyes, crossing them and making her dizzy. She laughed, happy to be herself in an open comfortable place.

"So you like plains, too? This is nearly an exact replica of the country just outside my hometown." Hektor joined her, but instead of rolling around on the grass, he just sat down, cross-legged, and closed his eyes, taking in the scents of the plains.
"So what now? I brought you to this place... how did your meeting with your fiancee go?" Hektor asked her, sincerely. He was in a good mood - a rare occasion for Hektor.

"No! I have never seen this before. Only in pictures. I have always lived near forests out of the city." After wasting some energy, Holly sat back down near Hektor. Bringing her mind back to her encounter with the fiancee, she was not sure she wanted to talk about it. Holly grimaced before beginning her review. "He was... not what I expected. He was polite and all, but he had a bad boy aura and was a little creepy. I kept getting weird vibes." Holly shuddered, pushing those unwelcoming thoughts away from her mind.

Hektor was a little bit offended at not having "the bad-boy aura." However, he did know that she liked him more than her fiancee. So that gave him a slight chance, if any.
"Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so." Hektor chuckled, picked up some grass, twirled it in his fingers, then ripped it in half. That was one of the things he could still not resist - harming animals, plants, and other things that couldn't talk to him.
"Anyway, so what now? I invited you here because I enjoy your company... not for any other reason that I want to speak of, at least. So you decide." Hektor said this, all the while things were playing out in his head.

"Don't look at me!" Holly's eyes widened considerably as she took in the sky. It was beautiful blue with stray fluffy clouds dotting the horizon. The weather was comfortable, and she felt relaxed and calm. Holly placed her hand on Hektors, stopping him from destroying the grass. "Leave it be."

Hektor, taking advantage of her hand on his, took her hand in his, and put it between them. "Fine," Hektor replied to her demand. He then looked up towards the sky... nothing of interest there.
He looked over towards the closest tree. Nothing of interest there.
Then he looked into Holly's eyes. Many things of interest there.... Hektor thought to himself. He found himself liking her more and more, these days. She was just the right amount of aggressiveness for him - not enough to overpower him, to rule over him, but enough for him to feel comfortable.

Holly kept her hand still, watching Hektor's every move. He was staring into her eyes very intensly and it was hard to refrain from looking away. At last, she sighed and moved her eyes to somewhere less intense. Her eyes landed on a tree, where a small bluebird was singing a beautiful tune. She had an ugly feeling that Hektor would kill it.

Hektor turned his head in the opposite direction when Holly looked away. He was ashamed that she was scared of him... however, she did have reason for it, he reckoned. Instead, he decided to make conversation, all the while not looking at her. "What are you looking at?" The atmosphere was starting to get awkward... all the tension concerning what had happened earlier in the Owlery.

"Bird," she replied bluntly feeling the awkwardness in the air. Oh, how moods and feelings changed so quickly when with Hektor. Her eyebrows scrunched up as she wondered was it worth staying here. He had injured her mentally and physically so many times. Why was she still with him?

"Oh... I see... well... this is not very comfortable for you, I'm sure. And I know it's because of me. So I am going to ask you bluntly. Do you enjoy my company? Do you like me, even at all?" Hektor needed to know. Although she sometimes showed obvious signs, it still was not completely obvious. And Hektor knew that he felt those ways towards her.

Holly turned her head sharply shocked at his question. "Of course I do! Why would I be here right now? I just have my doubts is all." Holly lowered her eyes awaiting a response. She knew what he felt for her, but was that enough to protect her?

"Well, that seems... sensical, I suppose. But do you think I will hurt you? Is that why you doubt your... passions?" Hektor thought the word 'passion' was a little strong, but it was the only thing that came to his head. "If not, why would you? I am a great guy! Just look at my past... no criminal record, no nothing!" He laughed at his sarcasm, even though it wasn't first class sarcasm. Joking was a rare thing for Hektor to do, so for all who observe it should feel lucky - because that means he is in a good mood.
