Aires Chapter 3 Boredom

The summer had breezed by. Hermione had gotten very attached to Aires, she couldn't stop thinking of him. She had even wanted to move into his flat, which he said no to. He had lied saying that she was too young to be moving away from her parents' home. She had to be at least eight-teen to move in with him. In reality he would have loved it but he didn't want to risk her finding out about the dark mark. Voldemort had been calling more than ever recently. It baffled him because he figured that he was out killing but there was no report of any actions in any of the papers.

Aires hated the fact that in less than two weeks Hermione would be going back to Hogwarts with out him. It wasn't that he didn't want Hermione going back to her education he just didn't want to be replaced and forgotten. He loved Hermione. He could honestly say that 'L' word with out the slightest thought otherwise. Many young couples used it often but didn't have the true meaning of it. He did. He knew the difference between being loved and just liked, and he definitely knew that he really loved Hermione Granger.

Aires was now laying in his bed wearing a towel around his waist. It had been a very long night in the shower. He hadn't had a decent good nights sleep in god knows how long. His relationship with Hermione seemed to be slowing down some she hadn't been over in a while. She had always come over and fused about the mess he kept it in and overall made his pad livable. Sitting up and took a mirror out and started playing with his tongue. He was amazed with all the different things it could do. It could lie flat it could touch his nose it could even make a tunnel of its self. It was very childish but Aires didn't get to experience these things when he was growing up so it was quiet fun.

A large barn owl soared through the window and dove at him making him drop his mirror on his bed. "Ruddy owl." He murmured to himself and handed the large owl some left over bacon that was on the table from who knows how many days ago. Slitting the Hogwarts seal he balled up the envelope and positioned himself in front of the empty garbage can. "Aires goes for the shot no ones open." He commentates to himself. "He goes for the shot." Aires waits for the crumpled envelope to make its final destination. "And it's it. Aires wins!" The teenage boy ran around waving to the imaginary crowed that was watching him.

Aires stopped running around when the owl hooted and looked at him strangely. "What?" Aires threatened opening the letter and read aloud just to annoy the owl. "Dear Mr. Lestrange. Ya uh huh Lestrange my arse. I'm a Black and proud of it." The owl hooted again. "Fine, fine I'll get on with it. We have just found your name on our list of people who have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is odd that you have been added now not when you were 11. Please send a reply with the owl if you wish to attend Hogwarts. We eagerly wait for your reply. Minerva McGonagall Deputy Headmistress." Aires laughed and shook his head at the bird, who got the hint and left with out another hoot goodbye.

'Okay so they want me to go to Hogwarts... right... and where am I supposed to get the money?' Aires thought to himself shooting the paper into the trash can. He should really join a basket ball team he was very skilled. Or so he thought as the letter bounced off the side and landed on the floor.

The answer to the payment question came the next day as he was yet again summoned, he had to lock himself in the bathroom since Hermione was there. "Just a minute Hermione." Aires called through the door. He had just taken the sound proofing charm off it and was now wiping his face with cold water. What he really wanted to do was take a bath, but Hermione wouldn't leave.

"Are you feeling alright?" the brown haired girl asked concerned as she wrapped her arms around the taller boys waist. She leaned against him listening to the steady and soft beat of his heart.

"Yah I'm just kinda tired. That's all." He sighed holding her close. She would no doubt forget about him in her next year at Hogwarts. "You better go, I don't want you to get sick. I think I might also be coming down with something." Hermione gave him a look. "I know I'll clean the place up for you. Not even a cold will stop me from making you happy all right? Now go I don't want you to get sick." Aires pointed and the door and covered his mouth as he 'coughed.'

"Alright. Remember your coming to dinner on Thursday. I'll owl you if anything changes." Hermione said picking up her jacket, Aires handed her, her bag.

"I love you." Whispered Aires kissing Hermione's cheek good bye and closed the door behind her. He locked the door and placed a sound proofing charm on the flat. Pointing his wanted at himself he said the counter curse to the pain reducing charm quickly as he walked to the bathroom.

Pain erupted in his arm, worse than usual because it was held and delayed from coursing threw him. Beads of sweat covered his brow. He would not cry out. Pulling off his shirt he stumbled to the bathroom grabbing a razor blade from the sink he turned on the water in the shower and sat down on the soft floor. He ran the razor along his upper arm. Blood spilled down it Aires smiled as the pain from his Dark Mark ebbed away his mind focusing on a different pain.

Aires spent the night in the shower it wasn't like he had anything to do. Hermione's mother had insisted on taking her shopping. I girls day out. Aires was bored as all hell an hour after he had dragged himself out of the small bathroom. Awaiting him was another large gray barn owl. He walked across the floor to the owl tripping over a wire to a red lamp that Hermione had bought him. It crashed to the floor Aires winced. Hermione was not going to be happy about that. Taking the letter away from the owl he read it silently.

'Dear Mr. Aires. You did not send a return owl to out invitation to your coming to Hogwarts this coming your to finish your schooling. May I remind you that you do not need to pay all of your tuition at once. It can be repaid when you schooling is done. Please reply as soon as possible. Albus Dumbldore Headmaster.' Aires shrugged his shoulders. He'd reply yes and ask Hermione what she thought about it later when he saw her. If she liked the idea then he would go, if she didn't he just wouldn't show up.
