A brilliant flash followed by a deafening boom broke the bespectacled boy out of his trace. The small child looked up to see the beginning of a torrential downpour. The raven haired boy sighed. He could no longer stay at his peaceful haven in front of the lake. Glumly, he packed up his books, and began his trek back to the castle.
The deep rumbling reverberated through the castle and echoed ominously in the dungeons. Instead of creating fear as storms were accustomed to do, a normally solemn boy's face reflected the bright illumination of lighting on a dark night. Throwing his books from his lap he darted to an enchanted window that was charmed to show what ever view from the castle he so desired. The blonde was met with the sight of a roiling storm; leaves frolicking frantically, trees twisting and turning in an intricate dance, the breathtaking sight of a deep purple sky splashed with swollen black clouds, sporadically lit up by streaks striking silver stretching across the vast English sky.
The stormy eyed boy's breathe hitched. He needed to see it for real, be a part of the magic. He rushed out the door and ran out of the common room with an expression reminiscent to the excitement of a child who's his parents bought the whole of Honeyduke's for him.
Halfway from the lake the castle stood a messy black haired boy, eyes closed, swaying blissfully. He looked as though he was basking in the sun on a pleasant spring day instead of braving an angry tempest. As the sky released another resonant growl, the faint smile on the boys now blue lips became slightly more discernible.
At last! He was out! The supposedly impassive boy was out of the castle and in the middle of the beauty! Quickly he scanned the perimeter, seeing no one he decided it would be okay to let his mask slip a fraction more. He threw his arms out and twirled circles, thrusting his face into the monsoon. His pale lips stretched into a wide smile, so large it hurt.
He began to run, arms out wide, skipping, leaping, the boy began to play the way most children did when let loose on beautiful snowy day, bundled in layers and layers of wool.
He ran in leaps and bounds, the cold wind nipping and biting at his ears. The aristocratic blonde had never felt so free in his short span of existence, scampering this way and that in the freezing torrent. He felt like a squirrel, a little creature that did as it pleased, scurrying wherever it so desired, not caring who was watching. A gentle smile graced his features at the thought. The silver eyed boy closed his eyes for just a moment, mid-stride he felt like he was flying.
SMACK!
The small boy fell back on to the cold muddy ground, the back of his robes already encased in the sludge that covered the wet earth. He glanced up to get a glimpse of the last person he wanted to see at that moment.
The messy haired brunette was standing peacefully in the angry storm, letting the rain beat away all of his troubles when suddenly something very big, and very solid collided into him, throwing him backward a few feet. It couldn't have been hail or a tree branch; it was far too big for that. It couldn't be an animal or something of the sort; it was far too small and quiet for that. The quiet school boy peeled open his eyes and squinted at the blob standing in front of him.
It looked suspiously like… No… It couldn't be. The raven gingerly removed his glasses and rubbed them with his soaked sleeve.
"Fat lot of good that did" he thought to himself. Spelling the spectacles clean, the small boy went to inspect the figure facing him.
There, sprawled out on the muddy grass, lay
