Distortion

Narrow escape

' You're the indirect target here. All you have to do is to somehow survive. I just hope you don't die' Bonnie said her black wavy hair falling on her shoulders and her blue eyes filled with concern.

Then she threw herself at him.
He hugged her back.

They both broke the off, and looked at each other with seriousness. The fire in the room crackled and the armchair rocked back and fourth. Time to go.

Harry and Bonnie left their seat and the fire got extinguished by itself, as if an invisibe force blew at it.

They pushed the gigantic door open and stepped into the isolated corridor. They walked along the dark, deserted corridor, following its way of confusing twists and turns and its straight forwardness. The silence was almost eerie, as they could hear their own foot thumping against the cold floor.

At one point, he looked towards Bonnie. She sensed him looking at her and stopped walking.

He looked into those large blue eyes. His gaze met hers when they were nine. It's been six years. The first time they met, they looked at each other. Just looked. Then they sat. Then they talked. Built a bridge. Made a wish.

'Remember the first day we met? The wish we made. 'You didnt tell your wish.' Bonnie said.

'I can now.' He breathed , his face hovering a few inches away from hers.

'Icklle fourthies Outta the bed,
What imma do is more than you
dread,
The same thing that happened to the Weasleys named George and Fred!' peeves cackled gleefully.

Why couldn't the school remain silent?

'Shoot.'

' I knew bringing you Outta the common room was a bad idea.'

They both took shelter under the invisibility cloak and sprinted. Time to time, they looked at the map they made. Now they didn't even know where to they were running.

They sprinted like their life depended on it, yet peeves was being able to keep up with them.

'Ya fools might be invisible, but not invincible!'

They reached the center where three corridors meet. Behind them was peeves and form one side came filch and Snape from the other. Yeah, they're in big trouble.

Harry leaned against the wall , as hard as he could, and held his breath,to not grab their attention. He pulled Bonnie towards him when she didn't follow him.

Filch sprinted towards the center with Mrs Norris. He had a huge grin plastered on his face

' Oh, big time peeves. Being rather funny talking to inexistant people, aren't we?' Filch asked. Filch looked like a man eagerly lingering on to hunt for mischief. ' And here comes Professor snape.' he said gleefully.

' What is all this racket late in the night? ' Snape said, marching around like he owned the place.

' Peeves had been creating the racket, Professor!'

' Nah, I wouldn't have done it, if ah, hadn't seen some flirting fourthies together!' Peeves explained.

' Who was out at night?' Snape asked.

' I didn't see 'em. I heard 'em. '

Neither of them knew Harry and Bonnie were right beside them. He turned towards Bonnie. Her white face turned towards his and she opened her mouth, mostly because of the horror that they were about to be caught. When she tried to speak, Harry glared at her to not make a sound.

Her feeble attempt to talk did not go unnoticed by Mrs Norris. The cat sniffed the air and made its way towards the two. Harry gently, in an attempt not to catch their attention, shoved Bonnie aside to avoid Mrs Norris so they don't end up scrubbing anymore desks.
