"Draco Lucian Malfoy!" Cassie exclaimed as she jumped to her feet, glaring at her boyfriend. "What the bloody hell did you do that for?"
Blaise and Draco started laughing uproariously.
"Just a bit of fun, Cass!" Draco replied with a smirk, his silver-gray eyes shining somewhat mischievously.
Cassie rolled her eyes at the boys and shook her head slightly. "You're both bleeding daft. How is it I survived this long?" she muttered as she walked over to the love seat beside the bookcase and falling into it.
Blaise shook his head. "You're just jealous because we're daft and you're not." he muttered sarcastically, folding his arms behind his head and closing his eyes.
Draco nodded in agreement as a smirk played across his lips. "Enough, children. Don't make me put you in separate corners." he said as he rolled his eyes and stood up.
"I'm going to go finish packing. Blaise, don't try anything funny… or there will be hell to pay."
Blaise nodded and stretched out on the couch. "Sure thing, mate." he replied, turning onto his side and sighing contentedly.
"He hasn't got the bollocks to try anything." Cassie said, smirking slightly. "That or he really is smarter than I give him credit for."
Draco chuckled softly and shook his head. "I'll be down in a few hours." he said as he walked out of the den, still shaking his head.
"You're just mean." Blaise said as he turned onto his other side, his back now to Cassie and within minutes he was fast asleep.

As Ginny and Charlie walked down the crowded London streets, she looked up at her brother.
"Charlie?" she asked softly, worrying her bottom lip.
Charlie stopped and looked down at Ginny. "Yeah, Gin?" he replied, raising his eyebrows curiously.
Ginny shook her head slightly. "It's nothing, really. Forget it." she answered as she started walking down the sidewalk again.
"Whatever you say, Gin-Bug. You're telling me when we get back to the Burrow." Charlie said as he followed his sister, a dim light of concern shining in his eyes.
"So, where do you want to go, Ginny?"
Ginny shrugged slightly. "I dunno, Charlie. What's open this time of night?" she asked her brother in reply.
"Pubs, mostly… but I am not taking my baby sister into a pub." He retorted, shaking his head. "Let's try for a café or something…"
"Whatever you say, Charlie." Ginny said, smiling brightly as she grabbed his hand and pulled him into a small hole-in-the-wall café.
Charlie looked around the café as he and Ginny walked towards a table in the back. "Are you sure about this place, Gin?" he asked her as they sat down.
Another short chapter, I'll really try to make the next one longer. Peace!
