Prompts: "Girls call me 'Aguamenti', because everytime they hear my name, they get wet."
Day of the Second Task
This is shaping up to be quite boring, Cormac thought as he sat down on the edge of the docks, watching the clock tick. The champions had only been down there for ten minutes, and while it was probably very exciting for them, the fifth-year was bored out of his mind.
He looked around for something - or someone - to do. Most everyone was chatting in groups of four to five, but there was one girl who was smiling softly to herself and making smoke rings blow from the tip of her wand.
She was pretty, perhaps a little young, but she had beautiful blonde hair falling in waves down her back, and a Ravenclaw tie was cinched tight around her neck. She didn't glance up when he sat down beside her.
"You know, girls call me 'Aguamenti', because every time they hear my name, they get wet," he said seductively, leaning towards her and placing a hand behind her on the docks. She turned towards him, not even surprised at his presence nor his closeness.
"Really?" she asked, resting her wand in her lap.
"Yea, really. I can have the best of them soaking in no time."
She gazed at him with those bright eyes, then leaned closer, moving her lips to his ear.
"Aguamenti," she whispered, and he spluttered with shock as a jet of water hit him in the face. She'd moved her wand to point directly at him.
"Pity," she said drily as she leaned back. "I'm not even the tiniest bit damp. You, however, are dripping. Maybe they should call me Aguamenti!" Another jet of water shot out of her wand and hit him in the chest.
And with a tiny laugh, she got up and walked to join a small redheaded Gryffindor girl.
Cormac swallowed his embarrassment and wiped the water from his face. He was determined to make another pick-up line work. And one day, he thought, glaring at the blonde as she walked away, I'm going to make her fall for one.
