What Makes A Villain // Mattheo Riddle

In Loving Memory

"Please tell me you're not bringing a book" Pansy rubbed her forehead "for when we're sunbathing" Lilli stuffed the book into the bag.

It was an unusually sunny day for late September. Especially in Scotland. So the group had decided to go to the beach, Astoria never got to go so they would go for her. Taking advantage of the warm weekend they had packed their bags and were headed to the platform. Gairloch Beach in Charlestown was about a 3 hour train ride away so they packed enough supplies for the day.

"I packed my best swim shorts" Theo beamed "Nobody cares about your damn shorts we're going to miss the train" Blaise rushed the group along the platform "'Merlin mom don't get yourself knickers in a twist" Draco teased.

They pilled onto the train and found some empty seats. Lilli pulled some chiken sandwiches out of her bag and handed them around the group.
"Do you think we can go swimming in our animagus form?" Enzo grinned as he stuffed his sandwich into his mouth.
"I mean I don't see why not" Theo smirked.

"I love the feeling of sand between my toes" Enzo sprinted onto the beach. Pansy had been very quiet the whole trip.

"You okay" Blaise sent her a little smile "ye, just" she shrugged "you know"
Blaise didn't say anything he just wrapped and arm around her shoulder and squeezed. Pansy let her body relax and layed her head against Blaise.

They layed down their towels and bags and began to relax. "Are you still reading that book Riddle gave you?" Pansy scoffed "It's a good book" Lilli shrugged. Pansy just rolled her eyes and turned over.

"No, no, no, no" Lilli shreaked as Theo ran toward her. Her looped his arms under her legs and picked her up. Lilli shouted and kicked to try get out of his grasp but it didn't work. Theo jogged toward the water and threw her in.

She almost fainted when she resurfaced and found herself face to face with a tiger. "Fuck Enzo" she gasped. When she turned the other way a lynx was staring at her. "Oh my merlin" She chuckled before joining them in animal form.

If anyone had come to the beach that day they would have thought they were going crazy. A wolf, a lynx, a tiger and a large black panther splashing around in the ocean with a pale blonde boy and a girl using a magic stick to throw balls of water at them.

"Oi Lils, you smell like wet dog" Pansy pushed her. Lilli jumped onto Pansy pushing her into the water. They all ran onto the sand and piled onto eachother.

"She would've loved this" Draco turned his head to look at the others. They were all laying on the sand now. Enjoying the sun.
"She really would" Pansy smiled to herself. "I feel better now, about everything. More at peace" the whole group hummed and agreement.
"Feels like a proper goodbye" Theo nodded.

"Oh my god" Lilli clapped a hand over her mouth. She pointed at some rocks by the entrance of the beach. The group turned to look and almost passed out.
A small black cat was sat watching them from the top of a rock. "A proper goodbye" Blaise smiled as the cat slowly disappeared into the grass.

"Come on let's get some fish and chips" Draco put his arm around Pansy and the group left the beach.

They enjoyed their food and they enjoyed eachothers company. They even enjoyed the long train ride home.

"Knock, knock" A gently voice came from outside the dorm door. The two girls glanced at each other. "Luna?" They both mouthed. Pansy opened the door and peaked out. She looked up and down the hall but there was no-one there. A shuffle sound dragged her attention to the floor. A little blue box was sat in front of the door. It was adorned with a white silk ribbon and decorated with little yellow stars.

Pansy picked it up and carried it to Lillis bed. "What is it?" "I don't know" Pansy shrugged. Lilli pulled off the ribbon and opened up the box. A little black head popped out. "OH MY GOD" they both whispered shouted to nkt scare the little creature.

Lilli picked up the little note sat on it's head. "Whiskers?" Lilli chuckled "whiskers" pansy whispered "Luna knew, Luna always knows" She smiled at the kitten. It yawned and hopped out of the box to curl up on the blankets. "Theos cat is gonna love her" Lilli rubbed the kittens head with her thumb

A/N: Short but sweet, no real plot. Just some good vibes. For now :)
