I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Chapter 13: The Dursley's

The train clacked and clicked along the rails, twisting and turning when necessary. Kids were nattering all around, probably super excited to finally be going home and seeing their loving families. At this point, the train had properly started on it's way, so I said goodbye to Ron and Hermione and was now on my way to find Percy.

As much as I despise him, I wanted him to hear from me that I wouldn't be coming back to the burrow this summer. He wasn't hard to find because there were a bunch of kids, who had no doubt been told off, walking down the corridor.

I reached the door and noticed that the blind had been pulled over the window so no one could see in. Lightly, I knocked on the glass before pushing the door open. To my surprise, he was locking lips with Penelope Clearwater.

"Merlin Savannah don't you knock?" He spat, as Penelope left to go and compose herself.

"I did knock. Anyway, I need to talk to you. I wanted you to hear from me that I'm not going to be coming back to the burrow for summer." I said, perching on the seat across from him.

"And why should that bother me?"

"I figured it wouldn't bother your cold, dead heart. But I know it will upset Ginny. I was just going to ask if you could keep an eye on her, make sure she's ok. I hate to just abandon her." I pleaded.

"If Ginny gets upset it's not my problem, if you want to keep an eye on her, ask someone who cares." Percy snapped before storming out, probably to find Penelope.

I caught his arm before he got too far, "Perce, because I'm not an arse like you, I won't tell anyone what I saw. With Penelope I mean. It stays between us," I let go of his arm before pushing past him and heading back down to the compartment that Oliver found.

The twins and Lee and Angie were already digging into the snacks that the house elves had snuck for us, and Oliver was just putting the last few things in the overhead storage. While his arms were in the air, I took the opportunity to tickle him, making the bag he was holding fall and nearly crush George.

"Ooooh sorry Georgie," I sniggered as I picked up the bag passing it back to Oliver.

He barely even noticed, too engrossed in the sweets and treats that were out, so I lay down across the right-hand seat. They were all acting like a bunch of kids, getting really excited whenever they found a new sweet. I threw my head back and closed my eyes, taking in the sound of their laughter. 

Once Oliver had finally finished putting everything away, I grabbed his hand and pulled him outside the compartment, closing the covered door behind us.

"Hi," my lips curled into a small smile.

"Hi?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Well, I just wanted to spend some proper alone time with y-" I was cut off by a second-year barging past my shoulder, running down the train.

"As I was saying. I just thought we should have some proper alone time before I go to the Dursley's. Harry said they will let us write letters every so often, but I can't do this in a letter."

His face was so close to mine that I could smell the freshness of his breath. His cinnamon cologne overpowering all my senses. My heart beat faster and faster, as I leant in closer and closer. This wasn't the first time we had kissed but it was the last one for a while. Our lips merged, dancing against each others perfectly.

A few moments had passed and we both pulled away for air, my fingers still twisted in his brown hair. I opened my eyes, slowly inhaling. Only this time I could smell Amber and Cedarwood. I peered upwards smiling as I did so, until I saw who was in front of me. My face dropped and I removed my hands from his orange locks, as I started breathing heavily.
