"We look so cute together, don't we?" She says happily. I look at her and throw away all the thoughts that are making me second guess.

"Yes, we do. We look perfect." My smile could probably reach my ears at this point.

"Hey, guys, we should go eat something. Billy puked up his breakfast and well, yeahhh." Alice says conserned.

"I feel quite hungry." I say suddenly.

We all march down to a café and make our orders. Lillia makes sure that Billy gets something that won't upset his stomach. I myself, get chicken with salad along with a milkshake. Secret fact about me, I loke milkshakes. They just taste so good.

"So where to next?" Jen asks.

"How about that Harry Potter ride that we saw?" Rio asks. "I didn't know you liked Harry Potter." Jen laughs a bit. "I don't but Agatha does so I will go." That was sweet and a bit funny. She really is trying and so am I.

"Okay, then we are going to the ride and then some free time? We don't need to do everything together." Lillia says with a warm smile. "That's right. Billy you good to go? I think the ride is a bit calmer." Alice looks at him concerned. "Yeah, yeah, I'm good." He says excitedly.

We walk through all the magical things happening around: from fake magic and cosplays to beautiful little lights and views. It was beautiful, everything is colorful here. The nature in the distance brings many memories from the past, when the world didn't have all these industries around.

We walk through the a bit cracked, gray tiles. The sun is shinging brightly, making the temperature go way higher. We became all sweaty, but finally reached our destination.

The whole thing is absolutely mesmerising. From the ground up, it really is magical. The whole building looked like a smaller version of the actual castle in the movies. We went along inside and the hall looked exactly like the set. It really is amazing.

We quickly find our way to the rollercoaster and get seated. They strap us up and give a countdown.

"Let the magic begin!" I hear the instructor say.

It's a bit funny, seeing as we have actual magic, but the way humans percieve it, is much more fun than actually practising it.

The ride stars and everything goes very smoothly, no big loops or sudden drops. I thurouly enjoyed the ride, seeing all the movies played out in a small sequence was amusing. Billy seemed to enjoy it the most, seeing as he loves those movies more than anything. What a cute little wizard. At the end of the magic a line comes:

"Practise magic safely and have a magical day."

We all giggle at that, finding it quite funny based on the situation at hand.

After safely getting off, we split apart. Lillia is with Jen, Alice with Billy, leaving me and Rio alone. I look at Rio and take her hand as she offers it to me. We walk around and shop for a while before finding a more secluded and quiet place. It was more or less an extravagant botanic place. It had a small fountain and a bench near it. We sit down and stay in silence for a while, enjoying each others presence.

"It's a very beautiful day, isn't?" Rio suddenly breaks the silence that we both were practically soaking in.

"It sure is." I say back with a smile.

"It's good that I have an even more beautiful lady next to me." I look st her, suprised. A dark blush slowly rises up to my cheeks and I hear her chuckle. "Cat got your tongue, my love?" Her voice is sweet, a bit quiet adding onto the aestetic of the nature around us.

"Um- I-" I stutter. "Thank you." Is all I finally say.

"You are cute when you're flustered." I swear, she is trying to give me a heart attack.

I simply look at her, admiring all her features. She notices what I'm doing.

"Like what you see?" Her smirk saying it all.

"No, not at all." I say back, trying to get a rise out of her.

"Oh, so that's how it's going to be." Her smile is cheeky, clearly planning something.

My suspisions were correct, she picks me up going to the fountain.

"Rio, no! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" I scream as I kick the air and try to get out of her hold. She laughs loudly and sets me down.

"Very well. Are you a bit rested?" She says with a victorious smile.

"If I was a bit sleepy a few minutes ago then I'm definetly awake now if that says anything to you." I breathe out as I try to calm my heart from all the adrenaline.

"Shall we go to some ride or find the others and go home?" She says sweetly.

"Maybe let's find the others." I say coldly, trying to act as if I'm angry at her.

She starts walking offers me her hand. I walk past it and hear her dramatic gasp as she stops in her tracks. I continue walking, smiling like a kid. Suddenly I feel her hug me from behind and whisper.

"Don't be angry at me, you know that I wouldn't have actually thrown you in there. As beautiful as it was from the outside, the inside is so gross!" I laugh at her.

I turn around, her arms staying wrapped around me. I lean in and give her a quick peck on the lips.

"Consider yourself forgiven, love." I say to her and see blush rise to her neck and cheeks. My job here is done.

"Can I get another?" She says with puppy eyes and a pout. "No." I say and untangle myself from her hold. I take her hand and lead to where the coven decided to meet up.

It takes us awhile to find the place but when we get there it is a sight worth millions. Billy is practically dressed up as Harry Potter while Alice is Hermione. Jen has a lot of Minnie Mouse merch and Lillia bought new tarrot cards.

"Is this a cult now?" I say mesmerised. Not in a million years would I have thought that I'd see this view and I have witnesed a lot.

"Stop it guys, I just wanted some merch." Billy says upset. "And by merch do you mean becoming Harry?" Rio says trying to contain her laughter. "Whatever, you are both old, you wouldn't understand." I gasp at him. "How dare you, you gay wizard?" I see his frown turn into a smile and that is a mission complete. I'm on such a roll today.

"So, can we go home now?" Rio asks inpantienly.

"Yes, we can go home now." Lillia answers.

"Wait, I want to get some snacks from here, it's not everyday that we visit a place like this." I quickly say, dragging Rio towards the carts with food.

I buy churros, candies, a few drinks and a souvenier. Rio also buys some things, but as I didn't pay attention she bought something else. No matter how much I begged, she wouldn't tell me. It's a secret she says, but I will find out what it was.

"Rio, Agatha. We are going now." Jen quickly explains. "Text me when you get back safely."

"Sure will, Jen. See you." I reply and walk towards my car. "Ready to go home, Rio?" I ask as I get in the drivers seat.

"I've never been more ready, my love."
