"Now, hopefully he actually makes a comment about my appearance," Oksana thought hopefully.

Dark Intrigues

Despite the outwardly playful and confident act she was putting on, she was extremely nervous as she awaited his response. She couldn’t believe she was sitting here, desperately hoping to hear that a half-blood didn’t hate her on principle.
