Julia looked down softly, unsure how to interpret Draco's words. Surely it was meant as a compliment, but Julia questioned what other hidden meaning it could have. To remind him of his lover, did that mean he felt something towards her? Julia could not deny how perfectly she allowed herself to fit into Draco's world, but she was flustered when it came to the thought that something could be there. Julia looked to him directly. "She was a lucky girl," Julia said with soft confidence. "It is not everyone who can find such love in this dark world."

Julia chewed the inside of her cheek, unsure what else to say. She closed her eyes as Draco instructed earlier to try and perceive the world as he did. She was shocked by the sudden awareness that she felt of everything around her. She could hear the creatures of the forest and the rustle of the leaves from a soft breeze that kissed her cheek. Most importantly, she could feel Draco near her. His presence seemed to cloud her mind as if she could not forget about him even for a moment. His silent being seemed to scream out to her awareness, trying to make itself known to her. Julia sighed as she felt slightly overwhelmed. "Is the outside everything you imagined?" Julia asked softly, trying to break her frozen state of mind.
