Florence and Sebastian woke early to the sun peeping in behind the curtains. It was hitting Sebastian's tangled hair, giving it a slightly golden glow. He bid her good morning with a short stint of kisses before Florence stopped him making sure they didn't get too caught up with each other in the heat of the moment, as much as she wanted to. They needed to move quickly, even though she would love nothing more than to be in bed with him all day.

They travelled via the floo network again, arriving in the south of Hogsmeade. They entered The Three Broomsticks before it opened for the day, finding Sirona laying out the barstools and making sure the surfaces were clean before the day's customers arrived.

"Not here for a butterbeer, I assume?" she asked, looking between both Florence and Sebastian.

"I wish." Sebastian said, with a solemn tone. "We just wanted to know if you had heard of any goblins walking out of here with another prophecy. I'm sure you heard about the attack on the Ministry and we think it might be related."

"I did hear about the Ministry, I'm sorry about your friend. I hope he recovers soon." Sirona said, throwing a sympathetic look.

It truly did baffle Florence how much Sirona knew about everyone.

"I believe there is quite a number of encampments popping up all over the Clagmar Coast. Similar to what they had before when you were still students. It feels eerily similar. Like they're trying to form a rebellion again. Somethings not right around here." Sirona pondered.

Sebastian and Florence looked at each other, telepathically communicating that they knew where they needed to go. They lingered in Hogsmeade for a little while longer, stocking up on more food and water, not knowing how long they would need to be on the coast for. They had run low on floo powder, but due to the tensions in London, the trains had been running sparingly into the town and none of the vendors had any more left. They decided to hold on to what little they had left for an emergency and Florence convinced Sebastian to fly. He hadn't done so since school and even then, he only did it for classes. He despised flying.

Florence walked them to Spintwitches Sporting Needs, leaving Sebastian out the front. He leaned against the brick work of the building, crossing his arms and tapping his feet anxiously. He was nervous to fly such a long distance with one of the best flyers the school had seen, who even gave cocky Imelda a run for her money.

Sebastian then wondered how Imelda had been, he had ended things with her abruptly after a few weeks. He had been with a handful of women since Florence, but none of them held a candle to her. He wasn't sure if she was just extra skilled or if it was the fact that they truly loved each other that made her the best he's had but he knew he'd never find anyone that fucked him quite like Florence did despite his best efforts to replicate it.

His mind snapped back to the reality of Hogsmeade as Florence exited the shop, holding two brand new brooms for them both.

"How much do I owe you?" Sebastian asked, digging into his pockets for some galleons.

"Don't worry about it, Albie Weekes loves me so gave me a good deal. Besides, you can pay me back later." Florence replied, throwing Sebastian a suggestive look. He knew exactly what she meant and he felt his stomach begin to do flips and the blood rise to his cheeks.

He took the broom from Florence and they walked to the outskirts of Hogsmeade before mounting.

"You sure you remember what to do?" Florence teased.
