Always There For You (Harry Potter OC X OC)

75. Shut Up and Dumbledore-

'Expecto patronum!' Anthony casted a male lion patronus out of his wand. 'Hello, testing, testing. Go to Terry.' The lion patronus spoke: Hello, testing, testing. Go to Terry. Anthony groaned annoyedly.

'At least you can make it speak,' Terry said.

'Yeah. Tony,' Joel spoke in a smirk.

Anthony frowned. 'This can help us, we have to master this. And don't call me Tony... only Mandy can call me that.'

The Ravenclaw sixth year boys practiced patronus charm in their dormroom, to use it for communication. Joel looked at his watch. Without telling them at all, he slipped out of dorm, sneaking his way. It was almost curfew. He had to make it quick to the pitch. He enchanted himself to blend with the surroundings and ran through the corridors. He carefully detoured, when a teacher was there. He saw the pitch.

I think I can try apparating. I've been going to the classes and I have passed the test last week, after all.

He concentrated on where he wanted to be. A second shift and he appeared outside of the storage shack. He air fisted festively to his first real apparition. The disillusionment charm disappeared when he opened the door.

Lizzy turned around and smiled. 'Finally, you're here. I've been waiting an hour,' she said.

Joel smiled readily. He took out a paper and casted a spell to stick on the door. It said: Under maintenance until tomorrow, Sunday afternoon.

He closed the door and casted locking and muffling charm. He was prepared this time. He brought the wrapper. The two of them had desires, constructing amorous acts that turned nerves into pleasure. The temperature rose high until a single window on top at a wall, steamed up into condensation. Until they couldn't take it anymore, and suddenly fireworks bursted. In a quiver, they relaxed, holding onto each other.

They stayed there, now sleeping down in sleeping bags each that Joel conjured with magic. They stayed, whispering every so often, until the fell asleep.

They were still clothe-less under their sleeping bags, once they woke up, watching the single window showing subtle morning lights, and hear birds chirping outside.

Lizzy caressed Joel's chin. Interested in feeling some new thin gruffy hairs that was about to grow. Joel told her that he shaved it almost everyday now, he would grow it every morning.

'Grow it and see what happens...' Lizzy said. I'm curious what you'll look like with a beard. But not the crazy one like a full beard, maybe just, what do you call it?'

'Oh...' Joel touched his jawline of stubbles. 'We just call it a stubble. I'll try growing it out a bit more then.'

And since Lizzy had proposed, Joel had let it grow subtly into short stubble beard, which Lizzy said later on, it was attractive on him. Joel kept it in mind and maintained that look since then.

Unlike the weekends, she had to go back, even after curfew. Joel accompanied her back to dorm, making sure no one caught her. And she quickly went up to her dormroom, passing the lonely commonroom, feeling icky and embarassed of what she had done in an empty closet of a lonely classrom, but happy and amorous thinking about it.

Yvonne and Yoko were awake in their room. It was almost the middle of the night. But they were awake.

'Got you! Elizabeth Clark,' Yvone spoke teasingly, sitting by Yoko's bed. 'Where have you been? It's past curfew.'

'Care to share, Elizabeth?' Yoko added in a smirk.

'Shush,' she said and it only made the two girls squeal. She was getting ready to take a shower. Glancing at Sandra who was already asleep, when she saw a piece of paper under Sandra's pillow. It looked like a letter. She knew she shouldn't. But curiosity overtook her She read it quickly. She regreted. She shoved it back, but she couldn't shake off that information. Joel would want her to stay away from Sandra's mess. Maybe it was for the best.
