I DO NOT OWN THE HARRY POTTER FRANCHISE

Blaise and Hannah were sitting high up in a tree overlooking the Black Lake by themselves, playing a game of exploding snap, hidden away from everyone else that could criticize them for being together; they would never be accepted as a Hufflepuff and a Slytherin.

"Hah! I win! 7 to none!" Blaise yelled out. His girlfriend Hannah Abbot smiled at his childishness, her usually mild Hufflepuff manor gone.

"Yeah. But I'll beat you this time." They kept on playing, carefully keeping track of the time.

"Just one last game Hannah."

"But Blaise, we'll miss the train"

"We have enough time for another game." He put on his best puppy dog eyes and Hannah couldn't resist.

"Fine". She started dealing out the cards.

"How did you do that? It's impossible! Seven's my lucky number!" Blaise was confused.

"Yeah, but seven is also mine, and X is before Y, so I win. It's now 1-7!"

"Again, Hannah. Whoever wins this time will get ten points". This time Blaise dealt the cards.

"NOOOOO! Blaise shrieked dramatically. He'd lost, Hannah won.

Hannah looked down at her watch, out of instinct.

"Shit. We missed the train!"

"We did?" Hannah showed him the time.
"We did!" Hannah rolled her eyes. Sometimes he could be so slow.

"And our stuff is still on it!" Blaise said. Hannah started panicking. She had almost everything she owned on that train. She needed to get it back!

"Come on Blaise!" She yelled.

Already, Hannah was two, three hundred metres away from the tree. Blaise smiled as he packed up the cards. Cursing, he used his wand to pack them up. He grabbed the packet and started running in the direction that Hannah had been running in. She was far away, at the Quidditch Pitch, grabbing onto the broom storage cupboard. She yanked open the door and reached forwards to grab one of the few brooms left, for the rest had been taken away by different people. She grabbed one, not caring or noticing the model. She turned around, and seeing Blaise was still far away, she grabbed one for him as well. She hopped on the broom nervously, for she was not a good flier (she had failed first year flying), and flew off reasonably slowly, still holding onto the other broom. She flew over towards she thought Blaise was, but he wasn't there. She flew around panicked. Where was he? Had he been pulled under by the giant squid?

She flew around getting more and more anxious, until she felt a light tap on the back of her broom. She promptly flipped backwards, landing on the tapee's broom.

Both brooms Hannah was carrying fell to the ground. Hannah shrieked, making them both fly into a tree. Well, almost.

"Calm down Hannah. It's just me," Blaise said. Hannah, not trusting him, turned around to face him. Seeing that it truly was him, she hugged him, before melting down.

"I couldn't see you, I just . . . got really worried that you were injured or something, and when you tapped the broom, I just thought . . . you were a kidnapper".

"Anything else you were worried about?" Blaise said soothingly. They were now flying over the Black Lake.

"That, well, this'll sound stupid but . . . I thought the giant squid had pulled you under.

"That's ridiculous, the Giant Squid wouldn't hurt a fly."

With that, the giant squid pulled them under.

Blaise drew out his wand and muttered an incantation, Hannah copying his movements. They now had a bubble head charm protecting them from the water. The giant squid dropped them next to an underwater palace.

"Hannah, we need to go now. This is the mermen's lair." He grabbed her arm and tried to pull her away, but she was entranced by the perfect domes and the stained glass. She began a slow, trance like walk towards the entrance. Blaise pulled harder. She continued walking. Blaise yanked her again, harder than the last and this time, she came. He started swimming upwards, but, before he could go far she swam down, faster than anyone who was human could possibly manage. Blaise blinked a few times, not quite trusting his eyes. Hannah had grown flippers and she was grasping at the bubble charm around her head, like it was choking her. She managed to pop it, and she swam onwards, back towards the palace. Blaise struggled and almost got away. She pulled him close to her and bit him, making him calm. She swam down, down to the palace. She swam into the arms of the mermen and handed him to two guards. He heard one mutter "obsession. Been hit by the charm. Keep her". The pulled him away. No-one ever saw Blaise or Hannah on land again.
