✦Imelda Rays⇀
When you first started to date Imelda, she made very clear to you that she wasn't going to be like the other girls. So don't expect her to be all cutesy and ditzy around you, at least not right away. It takes time for her to put her guard down completely around you, so be patient with her and show her that regardless if her walls are up or not, you're there for her.
⤵︎
She invites you to all her quidditch matches, even the practice ones. It sends her a type of pride being able to show off her athleticism to you. However, the moment she heard you cheering from the bleachers, shouting her name in pure adoration and support, it felt like there was nothing she couldn't do. And when she won the first game of the season, she insisted you needed to be there at all times, saying that you might just be her own lucky charm of sorts.
⤵︎
When you are around others, she's a bit stuck up. Her aura radiates dominance, and she knows it. She will always have a hand around you; your arm, your shoulders, your thighs. She isn't a person who is easily ashamed, so if you're with her than she makes sure everyone knows you're hers. Her motto is, keep it private not a secret, so even if your relationship is an to others, at least they are aware you two do love and care for one another.
⤵︎
When you aren't around others, however, she's different. And only because you brining it out of her. She's energetic and basically jumping off the walls with excitement as she shows you how to properly play wizards chess. Saying something about turning you into her own personal prodigy but really its a way for her to share one of her many interests with you.
⤵︎
When it's just you two, she is touchy. Her lips always somewhere around your face, pampering you with affection as she lists off the things she is excited about to do on your up coming date. Her head will always lay on your shoulders or legs, enjoying the feeling of your fingers on her hair. Expect her to always have her arms wrapped around your midsection, sometimes clinging to you even when you try to do your own things.
⤵︎
Your dates consist of one or two things: flying around in a broom and racing/competing.
⤵︎
On the days you two go out for a fly, Imelda shows you all her usual spots. Sometimes even races you to them , but, overall, she just wishes to spend a leisure afternoon with you on a broom enjoying the view. Maybe with a few packed lunches to enjoy the sunset.
⤵︎
aside from that, every date is a small variant of light and playful competition. Don't get her wrong though, she still will try to beat you to dust, but if she ever lost, she was woman enough to admit when it was fair game. If she won, you would praise her and boost her ego by saying cheesy things such as "I am not worthy of the champion" or " it's only natural that my girl was going to win". If she lost, she smothered you with affection, even playfully rolling her eyes and stating that she will beat you next time.
⤵︎
Is the type to buy you a jersey with her name on it and if also play for your own house, she will wear yours as well. If you don't then expect her to have your scarf around her at all times, even wearing it sometimes during practice to keep her motivated and focus during the tiring drills.
