~Wednesday

"Rise and Shine, sleepyhead." I smiled as I shook Devin awake, gently. "Let me sleep." He grunted before pulling the covers up. "Wake up or I'll carry you into the bathroom." I warned playfully as I tugged at his cover. Everyone else was still asleep.

I always wake up before or during sunrise, Devin asked me to wake him up yesterday. "Devin, wake up." I continued shaking him, my voice tone slowly turning into a serious tone. Once again he grunted as a response. I ripped the cover from his body, which revealed a shirtless Devin.

"Eep!" He squealed loudly before grabbing the cover and covering himself again. So that's why he always insists me to turn away. I have to admit, he's actually pretty built. I thought he'd be thin... I'm actually thinner than him.

We sat there in awkwardness, staring at each other. Devin's face burned more and more red every second, which I had to admit was quite cute.

"C-Can you please just turn around." He begged, his face so red, you could compare it to a tomato! I chuckled before standing up and turning around. Has he always slept shirtless? I suppose that doesn't really matter, it's his choice anyways.

What I do know is today is me and Devin's first ever Quidditch training, which I cannot wait for, by the way.

"Are you ready to shower yet or not?" I asked in a fake annoyed tone, only to turn back around and see Devin sleeping again. A wide grin grew over my face, I slowly crept up upon him, my left arm slowly snaked under his thigh while my right arm under his back.

"Wakey wakey!" I yelled in a controlled voice before hoisting him up then carrying him in a bridal style. He let out a squeal as his eyes blew wide, "P-Put me down!" He exclaimed in shock as I continued carrying him around the room. At this point I didn't care if the others were waking up.

I slowed down and eventually stopped, with him still in my arms. Soon, we were both blushing madly as I slowly set him down, letting him stand on his two feet. I literally had to force myself to tear my eyes away because he was just that hot. I heard him quickly run off and put clothes on, "I-I'm ready." He said sheepishly before dashing out of the room, his face still somewhat red.

I felt a small smile creeping up on my face after he left.

"Looks like someone's in looovvvveeee." Dragged Finnigan, who was one of my roommates. "Love...?" I asked, tilting my head. I've read it in books before, how it's one of the most wonderful things on Earth, and frankly one of the most powerful forces.

I've never actually seen it in-front of me though, like, there's only so many things you can see if you're trapped in your house your whole life. "Uh, yes. Love. What, you've never heard of it before?" He asked as he climbed out of bed. Am I the only one who sleeps with clothes on in this room?

"I... I've heard of it but I've never actually seen love's effects. I mean there's only so much to see if you're trapped in your house for 11 years." I explained with a small smile, seeing his eyes blow wide. "Wow, you really have been living under a rock. Thankfully not literally." He explained before digging into his drawer. Soon Finnigan and I made our way to the bathroom.

"You'll see it soon, Jamieson. Love and how heavenly it can be, and how horrible it wreck you." He continued before speeding past me and into one of the open stalls. I let out a sigh before making my way all the back, seeing the first stall already taken. Probably by Devin.

Love huh... I mean I'm only 11 years old. Should I be in love? I feel like that's inappropriate for my age. I mean Mrs. and Mr. Dursley always tells Warden boys of his age needs to study hard. Crazy hard.

~After classes...

Devin, Rafe and I were lazing around in our dormitory that afternoon. Somehow I've forgotten there's Quidditch training.

I heard knocks on the door, Rafe beat me to answering it, "Come in." He yelled. "Devin, Jamieson, aren't you two coming to practice?" Asked Oliver as his head peeked in. "Oh, shoot!" I yelled in shock, both Devin and I began rushing madly. "Okay fine, just leave me here alone." Rafe whined, rolling around on his bed.

"Go find Hazel!" I yelled as we exit the room. "Holy crud, we're late!" I yelled, grabbing Devin's arm while my other arm carried my broom, then making a mad dash towards the Quidditch field. "Jamieson, do you know where you're going?!" Devin yelled in panic, causing me to stop abruptly. Only after I stopped had I realized I actually went one floor above.

"Uhm… Where are we?" I asked, looking around. There were four ways we could go, to the left, to the right, forwards and backwards. "I have no idea." Devin replied as he panted. We kept walking around, lost. For an unknown reason, the halls of this floor was freakin' empty.

"Uh… Jamieson, I don't think we're supposed to be here…" Devin said nervously as he pointed at a hanging sign, saying 'No students under the age of 13 is allowed on this floor.' Written in a blood-red color. "Y-Yeah we should go." I gulped nervously.

We were about to turn around and run, until we saw what horrifying creature stood- or rather floated, behind us.

It's that black ghost creature again. Which reminded me, I've a packet of its dust and those other two wands in my drawer. "A… A dementor…" Devin whispered, his voice filled with pure terror.

I grabbed Devin's wrist as tightly as I possibly could before making a crazy mad dash down the hall behind us. I didn't know where I was going though, I just kept running.

Until I had to stop.

Because there was another dementor in-front of us. "Shoot..." Devin commented, "We're surrounded." He added. It's true, we were surrounded by dementors front and back. To our left was a wall and to our right was a huge window overlooking the Quidditch field. I noticed everyone was already there, waiting for us on the field.

"I-I can't apparate, Jamieson... I don't know how I did it last time!" Devin cried in fear. My grip on Devin's hand tightened, why is the sunlight not burning them...? The one in my house burned when it was exposed to sunlight!

"Expecto Patronum!" Two familiar voices yelled from a distance in unison, we watched as a ball of light flew our way before turning into two separate animals, which glowed insanely brightly. The light animal next to me was a wolf, the one next to Devin was a griffin.

The dementors began flying away in fear, some of them actually flew outside and burned. I guess they have to be exposed directly to sunlight...

"Devin! Jamieson!" Oliver's voice boomed through the large empty hall, his voice filled with worry and fear. "Are you guys alright? God, we should've waited!" He exclaimed, hugging both of us tightly. Almost too tightly.

"We-We're fine..." Devin sighed with a small smile of relief. "Where did you guys go? Wait no, more importantly, why are you guys on the third floor?" Ceilan asked, his expression bearing guilt and worry. Why is he feeling guilty? I mean this is pretty much my fault.

"We uh..." I trailed off, looking at Devin. "I got us lost." I admitted, feeling extremely ashamed of myself. I should've asked Hazel for directions before leaving...

Ceilan let out a sigh, "You two are in no condition to practice for Quidditch today." Oliver said, letting us both go. "What? I don't wanna miss o-" Ceilan cut me off with a strong voice, "You're sitting out today's practice, period." His eyes burning with seriousness. I felt like I was being scolded by an older brother or something.

I nodded with a small frown, "Instead, you'll just watch us play Quidditch for today." Oliver explained with a small smile before leading us towards the open field.

~Ceilan

I could not believe my damn luck. If Oliver hadn't urged me to come with him to look for Jamieson and Devin... They'd be dead by now.

If we hadn't arrived on time, they would be dead.

If Oliver wasn't next to me at the time... My patronus charm wouldn't have worked.

But how?

How did the dementors get in? There's a powerful enchantment outside the school that prevents dementors from coming into the school!

Now that I think about it, when Oliver and I went to investigate the Deepweeds, as per Professor McGonagall's request, we noticed they've been tampered by an unknown curse. One that made them extremely angry, turning from an otherwise calm and harmless herb to a tangle of murderous seaweed.

When we returned to the Hidden Forest under Honeydukes to investigate, also as per Professor McGonagall's request, there were signs of the presence of not one Clamento, but in fact, there were an entire group! Oliver and I came prepared, so we were able to get rid of them. Unfortunately we couldn't find out how the Clamento got into this enchanted forest...

Something tells me this is all the work of an insider.

How do I know all of this, you ask?

Well, I'm one of a very few students being taught Investigations of Magical Creatures, by Oliver's father , secretly. The only other student accompanying me in this subject is Oliver himself. I never miss any classes, mainly because this class allows me to spend even more time with Oliver, alone usually.

The class starts at 12 AM till' 3 AM every Saturday and Sunday. We sometimes miss sleep though, but I'm willing to sacrifice my sleep if it meant I get more time with Oliver. Totally because sharing a room with him privately isn't enough.

Yeah, I'm that greedy.

~Jamieson

I sat on the grass outside of the school, cross-legged, watching them fly around on their broom catching some sort of ball.

Turns out, Quidditch is a sport where witches and wizards work together by flying on their own brooms and scoring scores by throwing balls into this hoop.

Also you get instant-win if you catch this tiny golden fly called a Snitch. The Golden Snitch to be exact.

I'm a bit bummed out though, I wish I could fly with them. Honestly, it looks fun. "Cheer up, Jamieson," Devin said with a soft smile, bumping my arm. Somehow, with that smile alone, all the bummed-out feeling just disappeared. A single smile literally just bumped my mood.

I think something's wrong with me.
