When they had settled at a table, and ordered their drinks Cress looked around the shop and realized there were not a lot of people in the cramped teashop. However it was clear that those people were couples from the way they were leaning against each other. From the outside the small teashop had looked cute, on the inside it was still very pink, the difference was that it was very tacky on the inside.

"So how did you know about the secret passageway?" Cress asked Thorne as one of the couples began making out and she felt the need to have something else to pay attention to. Instead of answering her he pulled out a blank piece of parchment and waved it in front of her, before quickly stuffing it back into his robes.

"What I just showed you is a very special map, it shows every secret passageway out of Hogwarts and into Hogwarts. In addition to that it shows you where everyone in the entire school is at this exact moment. First you have to activate it though, I'll show you when we're going back," he told her.

"Thorne, that could be dangerous! What if it contains dark magic?" she said, and although these were legitimate concerns Thorne snickered at her comment.

"It's harmless Cress! I've been using it forever! I'll show you later okay?" he informed her.

"Alright then," she responded. A moment later their drinks arrived, a cup of steaming strawberry tea for her and a cup of cappuccino for him. They both thanked the waitress for the drinks.

"I'm a bit surprised that you didn't order tea, since that was basically all you told me about this place," Cress chuckled and took a sip of her tea. "Oh my stars this is really good!" she exclaimed. Thorne laughed at her and took a sip of the cappuccino.

"I told you about the tea, because I know how much you love tea," he winked at her, which made her a bit flustered, but she tried to hide it.

"You know that Irish people like tea too, right? It isn't just British people who like tea," Cress told him pretending to be offended.

"Well Scottish people like tea too Cress, you know that, right?" he asked her faking offense too. Both of them began laughing.

"Can I taste the tea? I've never had that one," Thorne asked her as he lifted up the cup of tea.

"Sure, but only if you let me taste the cappuccino," she took the cappuccino and took a sip as he took a sip of the tea. Cress wrinkled her nose at the taste of coffee, although she didn't like coffee she sometimes wished she did. Which was why she always gave it a taste when the opportunity was presented to her.

"Stop!" she grinned and swatted at Thorne's arm as he kept drinking. Even though she felt her heart speeding up, a bit inside her ribcage the moment her fingers brushed the side of his arm, she tried ignoring it to the best of her abilities.

"That's my tea you jerk!" Cress uttered, he put the cup down on the table.

"Carswell Thorne you are such an asshole!" Cress exclaimed, and drank the little amount that was left-and tried not to think about the fact that her lips were placed exactly where his had been, and failed. This was probably the closest she would get to a kiss, she was allowed to dream wasn't she?-, it was barely half a sip. Thorne grinned at her with his signature smirk. Cress saw the waitress coming towards them as Thorne drank the cappuccino too.

"Would the young couple like something else?" the waitress asked when she arrived at their table. Cress froze in her seat and felt a blush spreading across her face.

"We're not a couple! We're just friends," they both hurriedly blurted out, they both said it at the exact same time. "And uhmm.. No we don't want anything else.." Thorne quickly told the waitress. "We should get going now shouldn't we Cress?" Cress nodded eagerly, because she was still shocked over the fact that the waitress thought they were a couple. Sure it was a cafe for couples, but still! The waitress gave them their bill, Cress tried to pay for her tea, however he insisted on paying for it. Which was fine with her, since he basically drank the whole thing.

"Well you two certainly act like a couple," the waitress chuckled as she accepted the money. Thorne chuckled with her, Cress joined in too. Why did Thorne chuckle at the thought of them being together? Would it really be that bad? When they exited the small teashop Cress could have sworn she heard Thorne mutter "I wish", it was probably just wishful thinking.

"So.. You told me you'd tell me about the map when we were going back... And we're on our way and you still haven't 'activated' the map," Cress said as they were walking down a tunnel that was dimly light by light from their wands.

"Alright I'll show you," Thorne told her, sitting down on the dirty floor of the tunnel and motioning for her to sit down too. Although she didn't want to sit on the dirty floor she did it.

"Okay," Thorne fished the map out from his robes. "I know the best ways by heart now so I don't really need it for anything other than checking where everyone is," he stated as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

"What? 'Checking where everyone are' what is that supposed to mean?" Cress exclaimed.

"Just let me show you," he lay the map down on the ground then he took her hand which she held her wand in, leading it towards the map in order to have more light on the map. Thus leading to her forming a blush, which made her very grateful that he led the light away from her face.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good," Thorne declared and tapped the map lightly with his wand, words began to slowly appear on the map.

"The Marauders Map," Cress read aloud, Thorne began folding the map out.

"Wait a second! Is this a map of the castle?" Cress questioned.

"Yes, indeed it is. It shows you where everyone is located right this second," Thorne responded. "In addition to that it shows you every secret passageway out of Hogwarts."

"That's pretty cool. You probably sit in your dorm watching everyone at night like a proper creep huh?" she joked.

"Sometimes, but I mostly use it to make sure there are no teachers around when I sneak down to the kitchen for a midnight snack," he told her, Cress laughed a bit.

"You seriously get midnight snacks?" Cress asked, Thorne nodded in response.

"Why haven't anyone in Hufflepuff caught you then? Because I know a lot of people also get midnight sna-," Cress sighed and put her head in her hands. "I'm so stupid, you literally just told me why. Oh my stars.. You often ask me why I'm not in Ravenclaw since I'm so smart. What I just said is your answer," Cress told him and shook her head at her own stupid words. Thorne chuckled.

"I think you're smart enough," he smiled and Cress smiled back. "Thank you."

"We should get going now," Thorne suggested, tapping the map with his wand. "Mischief managed." He lifted himself up from the ground and stretched his hand out to her. Cress took his hand and dragged herself up from the ground, she also picked up her shopping bags from the ground. The warmth of her hand in his made her a bit flustered and she quickly let go to remain in control of her thoughts.

Author's note: Help these clueless idiots! They are so oblivious! Ugh! I feel so bad for them, they're almost as oblivious as Marinette and Adrien from MLB! And also yeah, Cress is Irish and Thorne is Scottish.. I imagine Cress having an accent like Saoirse Ronan, and I believe she has a Dublin accent? Not sure, sorry if I'm offending anyone.. And I imagine Thorne having an accent like Peter Capaldi, not sure what kind of accent he has. Again sorry if this is offensive to anyone.
