Its rained a lot recently. The type of rain that makes hearing the Professor hard in lessons. It pelts against the windows in The Great Hall. Its Saturday. Thank God because I could not deal with anymore Snape. He keeps asking me impossible questions. Anyways I was sitting in common room with Neville. "Its stopped raining" Neville says bored. "Well maybe its time for a walk" I say standing up and wrapping my scarf around my neck. Neville nods as we walk out of the portrait hole.

The ground is all muddy and slippery. We talk about anything and everything. Neville tells me that Professor Sprout wanted to talk to him at three O clock. I look down at my watch.  "Neville you have four minutes to get to the greenhouse." "What?"Neville asks panicked. Still looking at my watch "Yeah its three now. I'd start running if I were you" I say. "Okay. I'll see you later"Neville says running off. I laugh as I shake my head.I quite like walking on my own. It gives me time to think about everything. 

I slip and slide over the mud but I get along fine. I sit down at the edge of the black lake. I wish I would have taken my drawing pad. I had dried out most of the pages. Sadly the one page it landed on was the drawing of my Grandmother. The whole thing smudged and now it just looks like a big black blob. I still can't imagine Finnnick Hanging out with Draco. Why would a sixth year want to hang out with a fourth year? They must be planning something.

I turn around sharply to the sound of footsteps behind me. "Woah calm down. Its only me." Justin says. "Merlin's beard you scared me" I say standing up. Justin laughs and says "Walk with me?" I nod. Walking forward Justin asks me "So how do you think Potter got his name in?". I shrug my shoulders "I didn't even see him put it in. I mean the age line should've worked right?" I say. "I guess so. Do you think you'd do it?"Justin asks. "Do what?" "The tournament?" "Probably not. I don't really know, I'm not really good at that sort of thing." I say. "Oh Liar. Charlotte the Gryffindor scared of a little game.Don't think that would have happened at all." Justin says softly punching me arm. "Shut up you" I say laughing. We start messing hitting each other playfully. 

Somehow this ended up into a full blown game of tag. "Gotcha" Justin laughs as he taps my shoulder and runs ahead of me. Damn he fast. Probably because of how tall he is. Much taller than most of the people in my year. He could pass for a sixth year. I keep running after him and I'm right behind him but a rock that was jutting out of the ground causes me to trip. I hit against him and send us both flying to the ground. In the end I land on top of him staring at him. We burst into fits of laughter. 

Its quite awkward. Entirely my fault. "I'm....Sorry"I say still laughing. I begin to get up but Justin grabs the back of my head bringing his lips to meet mine. I immediately start kissing back.I know I shouldn't (especially after what happened this summer) but I cant help it. I can't help but melt into his kiss. I should really stop this but I decide against it. I don't care about anything that's happening around me

Time Skip

I was waiting for Neville to come back. I had gone back to the common room after my little encounter with Justin. I sat in front of the fire reading a book. I hear footsteps.I look up to see Séamus and Dean. "What are you reading?" Séamus asks leaning on the edge of a chair. "La Nouvelle Héloise."I say turning a page. "Its that in French?" Dean asks. I nod. "I thought smart people learned french" Séamus says messing. I look up from my book and say "Je vais te tuer" 

All of a sudden the portrait hole opens. Neville steps through. Straight away I stand up and walk over to him. "How'd it go?" I ask. "It was okay. What did you do after I went?" "Nothing" I answer unconvincingly. Neville looks at me for a second before simply asking "Who?" "Justin Finch-Fletchly" I say quickly. "At least its been a while since the last guy" Neville says. "Yeah" I say even worse than before. "Oh Merlin who?" "Hey I'm not like that" I lie.

How coulldI tell him? I can't. How could I ever tell him I kissed Draco Malfoy?
