Chapter 8

After feasting on my favorite scrambled eggs on toast with a mug of rich muggle chai tea which I requested for the house elves to add the menu years ago me and Finnick began to discussthe possible locations of my clothes.

"They've probably just been hidden somewhere by the culprit to avoid being told off. I guess we could just summon them?"

"And have my clothes and underwear fly through the school? No thanks, I say we just ask around the first years"

"Okay then," he replied with a soft chuckle. The held my hand and we walked up to the dormitory. Once in the fire lit warmth of the dorm we looked around for someone to ask. I noticed a mischievous girl I could recall the name of and after exchanging a look with Finnick we both walked over.

"Excuse me," she turned around with a look of uncomfortable anxiety, " I don't suppose you have heard anything of a certain set of clothes going missing from the prefect bathroom have you?"

"Uh, well no, why are you asking me? You're not even a prefect what is it to you? Leave me alone." She instantly took a defensive tone and turned to leave.

Finnick took my defense, "She wasn't accusing you, she asked you a simple question, don't be so rude."

I smiled gratefully at him and we turned to leave, "W-wait." The girl stuttered, "You mean to say they were your clothes?"

"Well, yes. Do you know something?" I said.

"Oh no, I, um I thought they were my sisters, her and I have fallen out. I really thought they were hers, honest!"

Finnick adds, "How did you even get into the prefect bathroom?"

"Well, actually I didn't, I practiced accio, I'm getting quite good now" She brought her hand to her mouth as though ashamed of herself for bragging when she should be apologizing.

I gave her a sympathetic look, "Fine, can I have them back now please? And don't you do that again."

She scurried off and returned with my clothes looking satisfyingly ashamed. I took them nodded at her and led Finnick away.

Me and Finnick spent the afternoon playing chess in an empty classroom we found. It was on the south side of the building and we had a beautiful view of the lake where we were yesterday afternoon.

"Checkmate." The game was finally concluded and I watched as his knight smashed down my King. He patted the bench next to him and I went to sit by his side. Leaning into him I sighed at how great this holiday had begun. I couldn't wait to write to Carrie that night. He began to kiss my neck gently and I pulled closer to him breathing in his fresh, ocean scent. My lips reached up to meet his and we exchanged a sweet lingering kiss.

"Good heavens not in my classroom you don't. Get off each other and get out. Good grief, I leave for one second, then this."

We leapt apart as though jolted with lightening and swiveled around to see Mr. Bunton our charms teacher staring at us with horror and a hint of embarrassment.

Me and Finnick stood up and shamefully hurried out the room with our heads hung. I felt the mortification flushing up my cheeks. I could never look him in the eye again. Finnick looked at me with mischief in his playful green eyes and kissed me in the corridor.
