Over the next couple of months Aries and Peter became inseparable. They spent the majority of their time together, her favourite thing to do was watch him cook or bake in the kitchens which had become a regular thing.

"I knew you'd be down here." she said, walking in.

Peter was standing by the side and he smiled as he looked up, in the corner was a radio that was playing a song on a low volume in the background. "Just finishing off James' cake. He wanted a black forest gateau."

"Ooh, fancy." Aries said, stealing one of the cherries from a bowl.

"Yeah, last year he wanted a gooseberry cheesecake."

Aries pulled a face. "Ew, gooseberry."

"Wasn't my best work." he said, piping cream into swirls then adding a cherry on top. "Okay, I am done- ooh, this is my favorite song."

He walked towards the radio, turning it up.

Well, shake it up, baby, now
Shake it up baby,
Twist and shout
Come on, come on, come, come on, baby, now
Come on and work it on out

He used a wooden spoon as a microphone singing along to the words, Aries laughed as she watched him dance.

"You don't know the Beatles?"

"Beetles? Yeah, I've used them in my potions."

"No." he shook his head laughing. "The Beatles."

"Adding 'the' to your sentence doesn't mean I understand."

Peter walked towards her, taking her hand. "Just dance with me."

Come on and work it on out
You know you twist, little girl
You know you twist so fine
Come on and twist a little closer now
And let me know that you're mine, woo

"When did you become such a good dancer?" Aries asked as he twirled her around.

"I told you that night of the Slug club party, I am amazing at everything."

"Actually you said you couldn't make any mistakes."

"My first mistake was telling you that I cannot make any mistakes." he said, pulling her closer.

Aries grinned. "So you can make mistakes, I knew it."

"Ugh, I used to think Remus and Sirius were gross but you two take it to the next level." Marlene said, walking into the kitchen, rolling her eyes but she had a huge smile on her face.

"You can talk, the amount of times you've been in the Hufflepuff dorm with Cas." Aries said, raising her eyebrows.

"At least we had the decency to be private." Marlene said, also stealing a cherry from a bowl.
