Lysander's POV
Lysander glanced once more at the sky then over at the astronomy tower windows as the lights flickered off leaving them in the dark of the night.
"It's almost curfew." He said to Lily as he watched the way her black hair moved in the soft night wind.
"I guess we better head back then?" she replied with a soft sigh, looking over at a window just behind her head as a ghost swished past the open hollow archway window, with no glass.
Lysander raised a brow wondering why she wanted to be in the teachers good books, after all, wasn't Lily suppose to be the troublemaker of her house? He shook his head wiping away the thought and slowly stood up stretching his arms out in front of himself giving a light yawn, however he wasn't tired. He heard Lily sigh softly next to him, it sounded like she didn't want to go back. Her behaviour wasn't unusual to him, a tiny smirk crept across his face as he whirled around to face her pointing his thumb over his shoulder to some open fields, where just beyond them, was the Black Lake.
Lily's POV
Lily nodded at Lysander's gesture to head towards the Black Lake. It was like Lysander was inside her rebellious mind. She whirled around and started walking with him towards the Black Lake.
"So, what mysterious thing happened to make you realise that you were actually a wizard?" she asked him curiously, whilst raising an eyebrow at him.
"Well," He replied, "I was having an argument with my mother about the gardening, she was a witch, when I bent all the garden tools in my anger without even touching them." He replied smirking, like he was remembering the memory. Lysander turned to face her, whilst walking backwards occasionally looking over his shoulder to see where he was going. "What about you?"
"Well, both my mother and father are wizard and witches, the same for my two brothers, Albus and James. We were mucking around when James got the idea to put a spider in my hair, I got so angry, that whilst he was laughing at me, he grew a zip across his mouth to shut him up." she replied laughing at the memory. "My dad's face lit up when he saw I was a witch to, he said I'd probably be a smart one just like my mother and Aunt Hermione, he left it about 2 hours before removing the zip off of James mouth as he found it absoloutley hilarious." she told him whilst smiling brightly.
"Wow. I do feel sorry for your brother." Lysander replied with a grin.
"I'm going to feel sorry for you in a minute when you crash into that tree." She replied smirking as Lysander was not looking where he was going as he was heading backwards into the nearby oak tree that was coming up behind him.
"Merlin's beard!" He said as he whirled around after looking over his shoulder and moved out the way of the tree. Lily let out a light laugh at the look of horror on Lysander's face as he realised that he nearly humiliated himself infront of her. Lily watched as Lysander swayed back and forth on his feet before growing a smirk on his face and jogging towards the lake. Lily let out a light laugh as he ran. Lysander stopped and turned to face her.
"What? Not much of a runner, eh?" he said whilst slowing his pace slightly laughing a little.
"If I ran, I'd kick your ass!" she told him smirking. "But challenge accepted." she said and started running to catch up with Lysander.
Lysander's POV
Lysander stopped running for a moment allowing Lily to catch up with him. He watched her run, she seemed fast but it was hard to judge as she was a bit too far away from him. However, he judged it for a moment a bit wrong, as suddenly Lily whizzed past him.
"See ya!" she said to him tauntingly. Lysander let out a soft laugh as he started to jog again but this time picking up his pace as they got nearer to the Black Lake. 'Man, Lily was fast' he thought as he tried to catch up with her, but not fast neared the Blake Lake, and as they were just coming through the bushes neck and neck, Lysander tripped Lily up, over took her and won.
"Cheat!" Lily said, whilst he celebrated his victory. Lysander turned to face her with a smirk. He held out one of his hands to help her up out of the solid brown dirt.
"Who said there were any rules?" He said to her grinning from ear to ear, as she took his hand and pulled herself up.
"True, but when we make our way up to the castle, I so want a re-match." she said to him as she brushed all the dirt from the ground off of her uniform. Lysander turned to face the lake still smirking, he closed his eyes for a moment and tilted his head to the sky taking in the fresh lake air and the way the stars were starting to shine through the sky. Lysander turned on his heals and started walking towards the tree that towered over some of the edge of the lake. He sat underneath it leaning against it's edgy bark trunk and looked up at the soft green leaves that had gaps between the branches so you can still see some of the sky.
Lysander looked around for Lily who was sitting just a metre away from him by the edge of the lake with her legs pulled up against her chest and her long black hair now tied up into a ponytail. She was watching as the water moved calmly with the giant squid who was splashing around in the middle of the lake. Lysander got up from where he was sitting, and went to join her, wondering where in the world that her thoughts were leading to.
