Curiosity piqued, Harry and Draco exchanged glances, the unspoken understanding between them growing stronger with each passing day. They watched as Ron playfully lifted Hermione onto his shoulders, her laughter mingling with the joyous banter of their friends.

Ron, ever mischievous, couldn't resist the opportunity for some playful banter. He looked at his best friend, Harry, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
"Oi, Harry!" Ron called out, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "Are you going to sit with your boyfriend
the whole time or are you actually going to join us?"
Harry chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement as he glanced over at Draco, who stood at the water's edge, watching the fun unfold. Without missing a beat, Harry splashed a handful of water towards Ron, soaking him in a spray of cool droplets.
"Looks like I'm joining you now!" Harry exclaimed, his laughter mixing with the splashing sounds of their friends. He made his way towards Draco, his expression filled with mischief and determination.
Draco's eyes widened with surprise as Harry approached. Before he could react, Harry reached out and, with a playful tug, pulled Draco into the inviting depths of the lake. Water splashed around them as they submerged themselves, joining their friends in the spirited water fight.
Laughter and cries of delight echoed across the lake as the group playfully splashed and dunked each other.
