Quinn opened and closed her mouth for a moment like a fish. She felt like she couldn't breathe, "Oh. Divorce papers..." She said dully and took the envelope. It was heavy and she knew what was inside. She focused on breathing in and out. She was not going to cry even though it felt like her life was crumbling before her eyes, "Erm...Thanks Charity." She said with a gulp and held up the envelope, "Ha. You know, the last thing that he said was that he had to go out of town for a little while. Death Eater business. Probably fu.cking around with some little hussy. Oh and you know what else? Slept together the night before he left. God da.mn Jason couldn't leave without fu.cking me one last time." She said bitterly while she shook her head and then slammed the envelope down on the table.
She sat down slowly, burying her head in her hands, "Fu.ck this sh.it." She growled.

Charity and John shared a look as they nodded. Charity swallowed hard as she went outside to where Lucius was waiting for her. This elaborate set-up had gone perfectly and Charity felt that sinking feeling in her gut. Lucius met her and they smiled slightly before he apparated back to Malfoy manor and Charity made her way back to Hogwarts.
John stood over Quinn and ran a hand over her hair. "Quinn, baby, it'll be okay. You have me, do you not? And this probably isn't the best time to say this but you know how much you mean to me. After only a day I'm so smitten it's scary. Jason was a boy who didn't know what to do... me... I'd never dream of hurting you." John crouched down closer to her. "We'll be fine, I promise."

Quinn stared at John for a long moment. He looked at her like he actually cared for her, someone to trust. It didnt bother her that she had only known him for a day. She felt like it had been so much longer. She cast another long glance at him before turning to look at the envelope again, "Give me a moment, won't you?" She said quietly and pulled a pen from her clutch. She tore open the envelope happy to see that Jason had already signed and what was required of her was clearly highlighted and labeled with post-it-notes. She signed her name quickly and initialed with ease and soon she was through all fifty pages of the document.
She closed the envelope and then placed it into her bag and turned towards John, "Quinn Emory. Single." She said and smiled, "Very very single."

John smiled slightly. "Why don't we change that? Skip dinner and go buy the ring or eat dinner and buy the ring later?" He asked as he sat back in his seat, admiring her over the table. "You're one strong girl, Quinn, I never would've had the guts to do that. I'd probably cry..."

Quinn grabbed the wine glass and took a very large sip, not bothering to savor it. She wanted to numb the pain and not let anyone know that she was feeling it, especially not John. She didn't need him thinking that she needed his pity, "Well, when you've lost just about everything else in your life, one more thing really doesn't seem that bad anymore, does it? First dad, then mum, then sister, then daughter, now husband. It really stops hurting after a while." She asked and felt tears springing to her eyes. She tried to ignore them, make them go away, but it didnt look like they were going to. She shook her head and downed the rest of the alcohol in her glass.

John looked around awkwardly. "You had a daughter? You certainly don't look like you did..." John twiddle his thumbs and offered her more wine. He pulled it back slightly. "Actually, I don't think that is all that good of an idea. No need to drink yourself into a stupor..." He looked around and locked eyes with the waitress who came running.
"Have you guys decided on what you want?" She asked kindly.
"Yes!" John exclaimed as he pulled open his menu. "I'll have the Chicken with Avocado and Roasted Pepper Cream, hold the Hawaij and Za'atar. No dressing on the salad which a bit of Ras el hanout." John looked up at the pan copied down his order quickly. The waitress nodded and turned to Quinn.
"And you, Madame?"

Quinn took the time that John was ordering to pour her glass completely to the brim with wine and then looked up at the waitress innocently, "I'll have whatever he is having." She muttered and then handed off her menu. She was in no mood to order anything for herself, "It's not a stupor." Quinn retaliated as she pressed her glass to her lips, "It's simply a numbing state that I'd rather be in then this....wondrously painful one. I'm divorced. How wonderful."
She took a smaller drink this time and looked at John, "Baby yes. Named her Charity." She raised the glass, "Thank heavens for the backpacking trip I took around the US during my mental hiatus. Worked off the baby weight like that." She muttered.

John frowned as he motioned for the waitress to come and take the wine away. "We'll have water." He said and watched his untouched beer get carted away. "Charity? Were you close to Charity then? I mean obviously if you named your baby after her. In a sense it is your fault. You did leave Jason to fend for himself." John couldn't resist pointing it out as he tented his fingers, a nervous habit.
This night was spiraling out of control and off his agenda. He had to reign it back in otherwise his plans would be ruined for this night. He didn't have time to wait.

Quinn watched her wine glass being carried away and frowned, "You didnt have to do that you know. I was perfectly under control." She sighed and then stared at him, "Yes...Charity and I were--are close. I mean....we didn't use to be...In fact, I'm pretty sure that once I accidentally sent her straight into a amnesia inducing coma." Quinn laughed as she remembered all the crazy stuff they had done to each other back when they hated each other, "He was accused of murder and as soon as I got him off, my parents were murdered. It was a little bit of a stressful situation." She said and pressed her lips together.
"I don't want to talk about it anymore." She said.

John was having trouble reigning in his impatience. "Of course. You don't have to." John took a sip of his water and frowned down at his glass, watching the condensation make it's way down the glass.
"Lets get married, Quinn, now. I can give you things you've only dreamed of. I can... make your life better. You just have to trust me." John looked back up at her, pleading."

"You want to get married....now? Is this real life?" Quinn felt a smile creep to her lips but she tried not to act too excited as she looked around the room for some sort of hidden camera. She leaned forwards and the smirk pulled the sides of her lips, "What kind of better are we talking here?" She wasn't sure why she was so tempted to agree to this outrageous demand, but she couldn't think of a reason not to. She had just gotten divorced. John was obviously very adamant about loving her. She was a little on the tipsy side and-
"I want to..." She breathed and then stared at him wide-eyed. She didnt know where that had come from.

"Good." John sat back, a smile on his face. "Tonight. After dinner. You. Me. A few close friends. We'll pick out a ring from Avery's. You'll be happy, Quinn, I promise you." John leaned forward again, a troubled look on his face. "I want to make you happy. I want you to smile and protect you. I really care for you, Quinn. You have no idea." He whispered quietly.
"Excuse ME!" John leaned back quickly as their plates were placed in front of them. He took a quick drink from a flask and put it back in his suit.
"Eat up, love, big night ahead of us!" He smiled as he picked his fork up and dug in.

Quinn felt herself blush as she realized that for the second time in her life, she was going to get married, "I trust you, John." She said quietly before looking down at her food and taking a few bites, "God...I'm almost too nervous to eat! See what you've done, Locke?" She laughed as she picked up her fork and stared at the food on it. She could hear her heart pumping in her ears and she took another large gulp of water instead of eating what was on her plate. She smiled up at him and then looked away quickly.
"Oh dear god. I don't have a dress." She said and took another bite of her food. Then she shook her head. She was a witch. She could figure something out....She had to.

"OKay, well I'm done." John stated as he pushed away his barely touched food, threw down a handful of Galleons, and stood up. "Ready?" He didn't wait for her responce as he pulled her up and out of the returant. He pulled her quickly down to Avery's and stopped as he saw the shop closed. "Well, that won't do.." He muttered as he rapped the door.
Avery wandered down to the shop and his eyes popped open as he saw John. He pulled open the shop quickly and ushered them in.
"Pick out anything you want..." John muttered into Quinn's ear as Avery turned on the lights. "I want you to have everything you ever wanted. Don't just stop at rings. Get everything..."

Quinn looked at the jewelry and then at John, "Oh....Oh my, are you sure?" She asked, but without waiting for his response, she began staring into the cases of jewels and grinning like a little kid in a candy shop. Diamonds. Rubies. Sapphires. She felt a little overwhelmed as she looked at all the choices. Then it caught her eye. A blue diamond, "OH!" She practically shouted and leaned over the counter, eyes-wide. It was surrounded by other beautiful clear-cut diamonds set in white gold, "That one." She said and pointed as she grinned, "It's that one."
He told her not to stop so she picked out a matching bracelet and some diamond earrings and grinned, "Guess I have my something blue." She said and grabbed his hand.
