So, what did you come up with? The girl bit her lip.
-You'll see. Dress warmly, the Wendigo asked and went out.
Lena conjured up a black knitted dress, warm tights, a muff, gloves and boots made of genuine leather. Having quickly dressed, Elena went out into the living room.
Lewis, wearing a warm fur coat, was already waiting for her. When he saw her, he kissed her.
Take my hand and close your eyes, he asked.
Lincoln smiled and did as he asked. She felt the shock of apparation and the fresh frosty air that hit her face.
Open your eyes, Lewis said softly.
Opening her eyes, Elena gasped in delight. They stood on the top of a snow-capped Alpine mountain. The sun was just emerging from the horizon.
- Lewis, this... - The girl gasped with delight. - How beautiful.
It will be better next, Prothero conjured a broom. As much as the girl knew, it was the Nimbus 2018, the newest broom that went on sale for Christmas.
-Are we flying? Lewis asked. Elena squealed happily and hugged him.
Yes, she whispered with just her lips.
Lewis sat in front, and Lena behind him. She hugged him and put her head on his shoulder. Prothero carefully kicked off the ground with his feet and took off. They quickly began to gain altitude. The wind hit Elena's face and she laughed. In the air she felt so free, so light and relaxed...
She threw her head back and laughed, enjoying the frosty freshness. They flew between the mountains, disturbing the sleeping area with their laughter and joy. Elena was happier than ever.
After the flight, Lewis took her to a small forest house, where they drank cocoa and marshmallows and had breakfast.
-I will remember this morning, I will remember it forever. Lewis, I'm happy. Thoughts about this day will warm me when you... - The girl stopped.
She couldn't come to terms with the fact that soon everything would return to normal... Yes, she missed Hogwarts. Yes, she was happy that Prothero agreed to a truce, but she understood that 4 days was nothing...
Lewis lowered his eyes. He also understood that their time was limited and that soon he would become himself again. He didn't want to let her go.
And then a plan matured in Lewis s head... He grinned unnoticed by Elena. He liked to test the girl's strength. He wanted to lead the girl through the labyrinth of Darkness and show her his demons without embellishment.
