"Let's go to the kitchen!" Finn suggested excitedly. "Have a little adventure, ladies."

Bea yawned, lying on the couch in common room, "Not me. I am sleepy."

"Come on!" Finn complained, "It's just 10 o'clock."

"I have two essays due tomorrow, and lesson at 8." Bea yelled, "I would be grateful if I can get some sleep tonight."

"Alright then. I won't force you." Finn turned to Lia, "Oh, dear Ophelia, you must say yes."

Lia was sitting by the fire, reading a book. "Only if you promise we'll not get caught."

"Yes, yes, I promise."Finn cheered like a three years old, "Let's go, Lia! Oh, Bea, do you need us grab you some snack?"

"Sure. Cake and coffee please." Bea was staring at her papers, still haven't wrote a word.

"Sure. Be right back." Finn grabbed his robe and left with Lia.

This was not the first time they sneaked out after curfew. Sometime, the three of them would grab something to eat in the kitchen and sit by the lake to talk. Sometime, they would just do it for fun. But, of course, they have been busted for a few times.

"Finn, slow down!" Lia whispered, she grabbed Finn's hand so tightly and refused to let go.

"Chill! You are hurting me." Finn whispered back. "Can you loosen up a bit? I can't feel my hand."

"The bloody stairs is moving! I don't wanna fall down to Merlin-knows-where!" Lia literally yelled.

"I know! I am leading you. So, don't yell! Do you want the whole school hear you?" Finn warned. He was holding his wand and trying to find a safe way to get down the stairs.

It took them a good 15 minutes to get down to the kitchen floor. The hallway was very quiet and dark. There was no one except for Finn and Lia.

"Not going to hold your hand anymore." Lia let go of Finn's hand.

"Used and dumped. Girls." Finn sighed, and pretended to be heartbroken.

"You know me." Lia shrugged, "I... What the bloody hell?"

She suddenly trapped and almost fell.

"Merlin! Watch out!" Finn grabbed her. "How can you trap on flat ground? Didn't know you are that clumsy."

"It's not me, I think something or someone trapped me... Bloody hell! Who pull my hair?" Lia started to get angry.

"It must be Peeves. You know him, always like this. He would be thrill to see you upset." Finn said with a laughter, "Alright, let's go. We are almost there."

"Ugh! Stupid Peeves." Lia had to tie her messy hair into pony tail again. "Why wouldn't he bother you tho?"

"Haha maybe I am too handsome." Finn smirked.

"Oh, get out of here!" Lia rolled her eyes, "Al... Enough, Peeves! Where are you? Stop messing around with me!"

This time Lia felt that she was being tickled. She looked around and couldn't find Peeves anywhere. She seriously wanted to punched Peeves now.

"Bloody hell! We should just head to the kitchen, Finn." Lia walking faster and faster, "I swear, I can hear him laughing!"

"Heard that too!" Finn wondered, pushing the portrait and step into the kitchen."Didn't know Peeves laughs like this. Here we are!"

The kitchen was warm and cozy as always. There were plenty of house elves working for the meal for tomorrow. Once they saw Lia and Finn's entrance, they immediately went in front of them.

"What could Sparky do for miss and mister?"

"We would want some bread and tea." Lia said politely, "and fish and chip, thank you."

It didn't take so long for the food to ready. Lia must admit the food that Sparky gave them was way more than she expected.

"Thank you and good night, Sparky." Lia said and handed the basket to Finn.

"Wait, is that Mrs Norris?" Finn noticed something was wrong just when they stepped out the kitchen.

"Balls, Finch must be near!" Lia said nervously. The last thing she wanted now was to have detention these few days. She didn't want to miss the Yule Ball. It was once-in-a-life-time chance.

"You must have caught their attention when you were yelling in the hallway." Finn carefully peeked, "Well, I would count to three and we run directly back to the dorm."

"1,2,3!"

Lia had never run that fast in her entire life. She felt amazed that she didn't even get trapped on the stairs. She didn't dare to look back to check if Finch was behind her but she surely could hear footsteps somewhere. Both of them could hardly breathe when the reached the dorm.

"Merlin, We made it, Finn." Lia said proudly.

But then she saw Bea writing her essay in the corner, she realised something worse.

"Shoot. Did we forget coffee and cake?"

Author's note :)

So, here is it! Do you have any idea who prank Lia? I think it's pretty obvious! Enjoy!
