The Fifteenth Child

Ch. 15

||TIMESKIP TO WHEREVER SCORPIUS IS TAKING KAT||

Scorpius: Alright we're here. *shows Kat, what looks to be like an ice skating rink over a small plot of the lake, it had translucent ice surrounding it, like a safeguard* We're going skating!

Kat: Uh, well... I've never tried skating before...

Scorpius: That's alright. Jaycee said something about magic when she created this. You'll be fine. *blushes as he pulls a pair of ice skates out.* Ari helped me with... y-your shoe size.

Kat: *laughs* Cool. *stumbles slightly* Jaycee made this? I wonder what spell she used. I guess it could also be some of her... *stops herself before saying Demigod stuff*

Scorpius: Yeah. Must be cool being the child of a Greek-- *slaps his hand over his mouth* I-I mean, be-being so crafty.

Kat: *fistpumps, falling over in the process* YES NOW I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SAYING STUFF ABOUT HER AROUND YOU! *lays on the ground* This is cold.

Scorpius: *laughs* I guess she told you. And what did you expect? It's ice.

Kat: *laughs* Yeah well, I guess I'm not the brightest.

Scorpius: *looks confused* What are you talking about? You're the brightest witch of our age.

Kat: *chuckles* I feel like Hermione Granger, if you've ever heard of her.

Scorpius: *thinks for a moment* Yeah, I got her name from a few stories my dad told me when I was young. She punched him in the nose once. *laughs*

Kat: *laughs* I never read that before. I guess it helps when you have someone that was there. Ya know, I should probably get up now.

Scorpius: You could ask... Albus. His dad was the Chosen One. You're right. That'd be best.

Kat: *sits up* Yeah, I could ask James too, but we aren't on the best terms right now.

Scorpius: *rubs the back of his neck* Yeah., I was trying to avoid his name.

Kat: *laughs* I could tell.

Scorpius: *gets up. He holds his hand out for Kat to take so she could get up*

Kat: *takes hand and stands up* Thanks.

Scorpius: You're welcome. *smiles*

Kat: Ok, let's try this... *pushes off slightly*

Scorpius: *glides across the ice to her* You ok?

Kat: Uh, mostly?

Scorpius: *laughs* Was that a question or statement?

Kat: *laughs as well* Both.

Scorpius: Well, just bend your knees a bit. *bends his own knees a bit to show her* And pray that Jaycee designed this well. *laughs again*

Kat: *folds hands and moves lips slightly* Ok. Done. *laughs*

Scorpius: *grins* Alright now march a bit. Like this. *takes small steps*

Kat: *follows*

Scorpius: Ok now--

||TIMESKIP TO THE END OF DA DATEE WAITEE||

Kat: That was so much fun!

Scorpius: Yeah it really was. *opens the door of the Gryffindor common room for Kat* I'll see you in classes tomorrow? *hopeful gleam*
