Chapter 6
Finnick and I walked hand in hand through the snow. Every few seconds we would turn to each other with a grin giddy with happiness from what we had found and anticipating our days ahead.
"This is all so fast" I can't be apart from you, it feels like I've known you so long." I confessed to him.
He smiled and nodded in agreement, "Well, think about it you've known me since we were 1st years. Can't you remember when we were paired up in Herbology, and that hippogriff dragged you through three hedges because you're badges got caught in its feathers? I thought you were the most beautiful girl in that class even with soil coating your hair. "
"And I knew you were the most gorgeous boy, even when you helped me up and then let go as a joke!"
"I forgot about that, fall over"
"What?"
"Fall over. Just do it" Without understanding his intentions I lowered myself to the ground in a mock fall and looked up at him. He smiled, said, "Allow me" and reached both hands down to grasp mine.
"Thank you kind sir, but really, it's quite comfy down here," I tugged on his hands and brought him down with me, crushing my arms beneath him in the process. "Whoops, kind of got my arms stuck there." I wormed my hands free and he gave me challenging smile. Rolling over he felt along the ground for something and then SMACK. I felt the cold snow shatter down my face and fall onto the floor. Brushing myself off I leaped towards him with a fistful of snow behind my back, gave him a melodramatic truce embrace then hastened to shove the snow down the back of his t-shirt.
"Right, now let's play dirty." He reached into his jeans pocket and pulled out his wand, swooping it up he sent a stream of five perfectly rounded snowballs to fly towards me. Deterring them and sending them back to him I began to form a large boulder sized snowball and whilst he recovered from his own reflected ones, I sent my own work rolling down the path towards him. He yelped in mock terror and ran down the path before diving out of the way and turning towards me with snow in his hands. He rushed up to me and did what I did to him – snow down the neck. Squealing in protest He stopped and we realized his hands were around me once more. He retreated, held his hands up and called truce.
"Truce." He kissed me on the nose and we returned on our walk back to the castle, his arm loosely around my waist. I turned to see a few Ravenclaw girls who knew me through Carrie. They were looking surprised but excited and they turned to each other to no doubt gossip about us.
Finnick turned to look my in the eyes to gauge my reaction. When he saw that I was okay with it, he stated "Well they were all going to find out soon enough anyway!"
"So…we're an item now?"
"Well if I'm perfectly honest I don't see how we can spend an afternoon snowball fighting and kissing in the snow and you feel you have to ask that. Have I not made myself clear?" He reached in for a lingering, sweet kiss, "How about now?"
I blushed and smiled up at him. "Relationship confirmed."
Well I know this isn't the longest chapter but I hope you think it's alright. If you could review to tell me anyway I can improve my writing it would be much appreciated :) Also, here are some great authors I would like to reccomend to you:
