Lets Clean.

(Sebastian)

I see Athena from across the room in charms class, her and Natty are passing notes back and fourth to each other, as the pretend to study.

Professor Ronen faces us and claps his hands "NOW STUDENTS!" He says startling half the class including Ominis. "We are still Practicing how to do the cleaning charm, also known as Scouring Charm. The incantation is 'Scourgify' please follow my wand movement."

We practice our wand movements a couple of times and then Professor Ronen says "MARVELOUS Now follow me! We are taking a trip!" And walks off.

We all grab our things and follow him out of the classroom. I make my way over to Athena and she takes my arm. Natty following next to her and Ominis next to me.

"Where do you think we're off to?" Ominis says annoyed that we had to leave the classroom at all.

"Haven't the foggiest really, but it's safe to say we'll be doing something involving cleaning....." Athena says shrugging her arms.

"Good Observation captain obvious." Garreth says from behind us.

Gritting my teeth I say "Oi, watch it Garreth."

Athena is actually laughing at his remark. "No it's okay Sebastian, that was actually funny. Plus he's not wrong. Where do you think we're off to then if your so clever." She says smirking twirling around to look at  Weasley laughing.

I love the way she can do that, she can just take my anger and soften it. The amount of times I would of loved to punch this guy in the throat, and she can just laugh it off and make me melt right into her.

"I heard the house were told not to clean the dishes after breakfast and lunch, so I'm going to assume we're off to the kitchens." Garreth says frowning.

"Are you alright, Garreth?" Natty says looking at him concerned.

"Poppy and I got into a argument last night, but it's okay. We're okay. Everything will be okay." He says brushing it off.

"Do you want to talk about it, maybe we can help? She is our best friend." Athena says looking suspicious.

"She just keeps going on all these adventures to poaching camps by herself. Honestly, we're only 16 about to be 17; Can't we just enjoy being ... well... normal? Our age perhaps?" He says looking at all of us.

I mummer under my breath "I hear you on that one mate."

Athena slows down a bit thinking "don't you even know her story Garreth? Don't you remember rescuing her from her parents. She hates poachers more than anything else. She's just trying to do what's right."

"But she doesn't have to, we could stay here and hang out with friends, or adventure here. I don't mind going with her. In fact I would prefer it. But shes going to extremes here. It's almost like she needs to rid them all." Garreth says looking nervous.

"Sounds like someone else I know indeed" Ominis says smirking to himself.

"Sebastian, at least Athena doesn't go out of her way to get these people. Mostly she just stumbles upon them, or there after her." Garreth says trying to make a point.

"Oh Garreth you have no idea mate," Athena starts but I cut her off.

"For once Garreth I completely understand where your coming from... Merlin I can't believe I'm actually siding With you. This is rare and don't get use to it." I say pointing to his face "but he's just trying to protect her. Waking up every morning, glad to see no letter for you sayings she's gone or much worst. So yes, going with her would make you feel so much more safe. Wishing people wouldn't nagging her all the time about there problems so she didn't feel obligated to go on crazy quest for them" I look at all of them with a hard face.
