Meet Me At The Black Lake ; Ron Weasley

chapter 3

Willow and Ron had many encounters over the week. It was like ever since they made eye contact at the black lake, he's been a daily thing in her life. Usually, they just wave at each other or have a short conversation about the class they just had, but that's about it. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as that for Willow. She can feel herself slowly developing feelings for Ron. Every time he smiles at her, she can feel her cheeks heat up. When he makes a stupid joke, it makes her heart jump, and she laughs way more than she should. It's weird, and she knows it's wrong. She's devoted to Draco.

"You look hot," Draco said, smirking and pulling Willow in by her waist. It was almost midnight, the time that the group had arranged to meet up by the lake. Willow had snuck over to the boys dormitory earlier that night, and Pansy and Blaise had left early with booze, claiming that they "didn't come here for Evergreen-Malfoy porn". Once they had gotten their lips off of each other, they both got ready, and were now hoping that they could get out of the castle and down to the lake in five minutes time. Yeah, that isn't going to happen.

"Oh, shut up," Willow laughed, but cupped his cheek and met his lips. They snogged for a few minutes, then Willow pushed him off.

"We actually have to go, if we get there late, Pansy will drown us," she joked, but it wasn't really far from the truth.

"Fine," Draco sighed, and they quietly slipped out of the room. The group sneaks out very often. At least once a week. They mastered the whole sneaking out thing in year 2.

  "What if we get caught?" Willow asked for the millionth time that night. Her, Pansy, Blaise and Draco were going to sneak out tonight. Blaise had gotten his hands on some vodka and beer, and they were going to have some fun. It had been a very exciting idea at first, but now Willow was so nervous she thought she was going to be sick all over Pansy's new jacket. The girls had gotten all dressed up for fun. Willow had on a nice short black skirt and a white corset top. Pansy had straightened her hair for her, and she had done a full face of makeup. Pansy wore black ripped jeans and a white tank top, with an oversized jacket.

  "We won't! Draco and I have been monitoring the halls every night this week. Filch always naps from eleven to three. That gives us four hours," Pansy assures Willow again. "Now, we're all ready. Let's go, the boys should be outside,"

  The girls quietly left the dormitory, and found the boys waiting in the common room. Blaise had a bag to carry the drinks. They said hello, and slowly walked out of the room.

  The group walked carefully down the halls. They were extra creepy at night, but their excitement overweighed the fear. They tiptoed around corners until they reached an exit. Once the fresh air hit their face, they all let out a breath they'd been holding. The group walked down the hills and through trees, and eventually reached the black lake. It looked huge, and never ending at night. It was pitch black, but the moonlight reflected on it. The students got out the drinks, and made memories they would never forget.

After sneaking down the halls, Draco and Willow made it out of the castle and down to the black lake, where they met Pansy and Blaise. They were splayed out on the grass, feet nearly touching the dark water. They had already gotten the drinks out, and Pansy being the lightweight she is, was already tipsy.

  "Hey fuckers, let's get drunk," Draco said, walking up to the others and swiftly picking up the bottle of vodka, taking a huge swig.

Willow walked over, took a sip, and lay down next to Pansy, staring up at the sky. It was painted with millions of glittering stars. Willow stared up at them. The infinite universe. These stars went on basically forever. She imagines what it would be like to float among them, just her and the stars. Completely silent. Nothing to worry about, no one to care about, no one to lose...
