Chapter 14

A few weeks later was Lisel's eighteenth birthday. She was waiting for Joanna, her aunt and uncle and her dad to arrive.

"Lisel!" Joanna exclaimed rushing out of the fire to greet her best friend.

She hugged her best friend back eagerly.

"Bloody hell, I've missed you almost as much as this little one here," Joanna said, opening the carrier and Earl Grey came out.

"Mummy missed you, yes she did," Lisel cooed at the grey cat who meowed back.

Her dad and her aunt and uncle arrived next and they celebrated her birthday. Joanna decided to stay a little while longer.

----

It was a few days later, Joanna and Lisel were on the couch.

"Hey is there a beach anywhere around that we could go to?"

"I don't have a bathing suit, Jo," Lisel said.

"Maybe in a few days, but we can go shopping instead for suits."

Joanna nodded. The two girls left and went to a muggle store to go shopping for bathing suits.

"Think of it this way you'll get to see Alfons shirtless when we go to the beach," Joanna smirked, as they thumbed through the bathing suits.

Lisel blushed. She's been dreaming about seeing Alfons shirtless lately.

They chose a red two piece and an aqua tankini respectively. They finished shopping and went back to Viktor and Alfons' house. They decided to go to the beach in a few days.

----

It was now the day they were going to the beach. They were driving to the beach since it was muggle beach. Joanna was driving since she was the only one who could drive. Lisel could learn to drive but she didn't want to. Viktor was the least used to cars so it was freaking him out.

"Why aren't you freaking out?" Lisel asked.

Alfons shrugged and said. "My brother-in-law is a squib so he drives a lot."

"Okay."

They reached the beach and got settled. Lisel laid down on her towel and started to read still in her cover up.

"Come on, you can read anytime you want," Alfons, standing over her dripping on her book.

"Alfie!, you're getting my book wet!" she complained.

He just continued standing over her until she agreed. She removed her cover up and they started walking towards the ocean.

"I have a faster way," Alfons said, walking over to her and scooping her up easily.

"Alfons, put me down this minute!" she exclaimed.

He just smirked at her. Damn that smirk she just curled against his toned chest. She had been right, he did have a toned chest from working with those plants. Once in deep enough water he let her go.

"It's cold," she whined, scrambling back into the warmth of his arms.

"It will get warmer if you swim around."

Lisel splashed him and he smirked at her. They had a splash fight that Alfons let Lisel win. The group stayed at the beach until sunset.

"That was really fun," Lisel said, leaning back in the backseat of the car.

Alfons nodded. She looked great in the bathing suit. It wasn't too skimpy or too conservative. Though she didn't need to show off her body to impress him. Her heart impressed him more. They reached the house and walked in.
