"Cory! I have a surprise for you!" Bean shouted out of nowhere. He was hiding something behind his back. "But first put this on and hold out your hands." Ben announced, holding a blindfold out to me. I rolled my eyes.
"Do you have to do this every year?" I asked with a whine. Ben scolded me.
"Blind fold. Now." He demanded. I rolled my eyes again and tied it around my eyes and held out my hands. Ben placed a bag in my hands and I dug threw it. I felt something I knew very well and instantly squealed.
"BEAN!! YOU DIDNT!" I squealed.
"There's about... 60 gallons worth of those... Give or take. Happy early birthday." Ben announced. I pulled off my blind fold and looked inside the bag. There were so many Sugar quills inside it. I pulled one out and sucked on it. I got up and hugged Ben.
"You're gonna give me diabetes." I laughed, when I pulled away from him. He shrugged.
"It's well worth it to see my cousin happy." He replied.
"Bean, 60 gallons of sugar quills?! What were you thinking?!" I asked, sticking my current sugar quill back in my mouth.
"I wanted to see your teeth and lips stained blue in all honesty. It always makes me laugh when you smile after sucking on a blue sugar quill. I don't know why, it always did." He shrugged. I shook my head and pulled the sugar quill out of my mouth, making a popping sound.
"You have some of the weirdest reasons for things sometimes, Beanie." I announced. He shrugged. "You're such a weirdo." I laughed.
"But I'm your werdio." He reasoned. I laughed again.
"That you are, cousin. That you are." I replied, patting his cheek. I turned to Draco who had his fists and jaw clenched, glaring at Ben. I smirked. "Draco Malfoy, Jealous of Cousin Beanie? How does that work?" I asked. Draco looked to me and he started blushing.
"Wha- No. I'm not Jealous of your Cousin." Draco announced.
"Is that so? If that's the case, you wouldn't mind if I did this?" I asked, then latched onto Ben, putting on the cheesiest grin. Draco clenched his fists and teeth tighter, as he watched Ben wrap his arms around me. Then Ben drew in a deep breath through his nose.
"Did you start using that shampoo that I got you?" Ben asked. I nodded.
"How'd you guess?" I asked.
"Strawberries and tangerines. I smell them in your hair. When I got you that shampoo, it reminded me of when we went through the enchanted willow stream and could smell the strawberries and tangerines blooming." Ben smiled.
"It reminded you of that too?" I asked. He nodded.
"That was one of my favorite memories I made with you, cousin. I'd give anything to go back to that day." He announced.
"Me too cousin. I can't wait to finish the stream. This time for sure." I replied, finally releasing Ben. He nodded.
"You know it. We will claim that river as ours if it's the last thing we do." Ben stated. I nodded.
"Just a month and a quarter till we are able to do so." I announced. Ben laughed.
"Have you seriously been counting down?" He asked.
"Ever since I first got sorted into Slytherin. Let's see here. Only 38 days, 14 hours, 12 minutes, 5 seconds left to wait. 4...3..2..1..." I replied. Ben gave me an eye roll. I looked to Draco, who was as red as a tomato. "Still not jealous?" I asked. Draco looked to his food. I looked to Ben and threw my thumb over my shoulder as if to say "you better go". Ben nodded, and departed silently. I sat down next to Draco. "Hey." I announced, nudging him with my elbow. He looked to me finally. "You have no reason to be Jealous of Ben." I announced. Draco lost all the redness in his face, and pulled me close. Then he drew in a deep breath through his nose. I watched his eyes flutter, and a smile creep onto his face.
"You're hair smells really good." He stated finally. I blushed.
"You're a Git. You know that?" I asked.
"But I'm your Git." He replied. I laughed.
"That you are, Draco. That you are." I replied, patting his cheek.
