The kiss continued on for a solid five minutes before Jude and Connor broke the kiss. They looked at each other for a few moments and smiled at each other.

"Let's go back to the castle." Connor said gently smiling at Jude.

Jude nodded at Connor and the pair started heading to the castle. The two walked in silence for a couple of moments. Jude broke the silence.

"So are we?"

"Yes" Connor replied with a smile and intertwined his pinky with Jude's. "I am your boyfriend."

Jude smiled as they reached the castle doors. The two walked into the foyer where Steph was waiting for them.

"Hello boys, did you find some herbs?" Steph said with a smile noticing that they boys had their pinkies interlocked.

"Yes Professor Steph." Connor said with a smile and handed her the herbs that Jude and him had collected at the lake. "I'll see you later okay Jude?"

"Yeah! Totally!" Jude squeaked out

"Smooth Jude" Val commented smirking on the inside. She had been celebrating obnoxiously in Jude's head since the kiss had taken place.

Steph allowed herself a small smile and handed Connor a roll of parchment. "This will get you out of any trouble with any prefects for being out at this late hour. Jude, I'll walk you up to Gryffindor Tower. Off you go!"

"Night Jude!"

Night Con!"

Steph watched Connor walk off to the dungeons smiling on the outside and doing a happy dance on the inside. Her baby boy was finally coming into his own."You ready to go to bed love?" Steph asked.

"Yes momma." Jude said with a smile on his face.

"You do realize that by morning the entire castle will know that you and Connor are dating. And that there's going to be no alone time in EITHER one of the dormitories. Common rooms are fine by me." Steph said in only a way that a mother can.

"I understand mom." Jude said with a smile on his face.

"Professor Adams-Foster?"

Steph and Jude turned to see Professor McGonagall striding over to them.

"Yes Professor?" Steph said noticing the professor's strained and tired look on her face.

"I need to talk to you in private please." McGonagall said. "It's urgent."

"Well I was walking my son back up to Gryffindor Tower so he wouldn't get into any trouble with the prefects." Steph said.

With a wave of her wand, McGonagall conjured a cat patronus. "Follow the cat back to Gryffindor Tower. None of the prefects will bother you as long as you stay with the cat." McGonagall said with a smile. "Run along now, it's nothing serious and none of your siblings are in trouble.

"What is it Minerva?" Steph asked concern growing on her face.

"Connor's father has been released from Azkaban and he wants to withdraw Connor from school." McGonagall said her face growing with concern.

"That can't happen, I was the arresting officer on that case and was told Connor would not be able to go back with his dad." Steph said growing angry.

"I know Steph." Minervra said. "That's why we need to…"

Unbeknownst to Step and Professor McGonagall they were not alone. A wide eyed Slytherin hurried down to the dungeon, scheming with the information that he had gotten while spying on Jude and Connor.

Callie was sitting alone in her bed. She was contemplating on why she had told Brandon that they shouldn't have been together anymore.

"Ugh don't you just hate boys?" Marianna said walking into Callie's dorm room.

"I mean if they're named Wyatt and have a big ego then yes, yes I do." Callie decided to agree with Marianna for her health. "Why what's up?"

"Well, there's this guy…"

"Matt?"

"Wha?"

"You're predictable Marianna." Callie said with a smile. "Go for it."

"But what if he doesn't want it?" Marianna asked.

"He'd be crazy not to." Callie said with a smile. She pulled out her own spellbook and began writing in it.

"Whatcha writing about?" Marianna said walking over to Callie.

"Nothing special. Just been a rough day." Callie said making her guardian make the ink invisible.

"Alright. Well if you need to talk you know where to find me." Marianna said hugging Callie and walking out of the room.

Callie sighed and continued writing.
