Chapter Forty-one: The Tower of Refuge

           

Apparating onto the hard reef surrounding the big castle the group took in the view. There they were, in the middle of the bay on a small island. They could see everything from where they were standing.

Emory looked to his bedroom window, he waved as he could faintly see the outline of Olivia in his window, "Liv's watching us," Emory laughed.

"Let's get inside, I hate the sea," Nicole shuddered, she grabbed Abner and walked towards the entrance of the castle.

The girls laughed as Nicole tried to maintain her balance while walking on the uneven reef, they were surprised she even agreed to come here.

They walked towards the gates, Ophelia was walking alongside Archer at the back of the group. Things between them was silent until Ophelia spoke up, "did you get the job at the Auror's office because you knew what the imperius curse sounded like?"

Archer turned to Ophelia and smiled, "you're the only one who's realised," Archer lowered his head, "thank you though, for realising, but it wasn't just the main reason, the minister of magic looked into me after he heard me say that I told you it was the imperius curse, he seen that I had good grades and that I was excelling in all of my subjects, and viola they accepted me into their trainee program, I actually start in two days."

"And here I am still at school with a small Saturday job down my local post office," Ophelia laughed, "but congratulations, if there are any more suspicious activities at school involving the dark arts I'll contact you first hand."

Archer gasped as he continued to laugh, "Ophelia you seem to forget that you locked your uncle and your aunt up in Azkaban for the murder of your other uncle, and you totally knocked out Lyra which lead to the whole exposure of her being the horrible bitch she actually is, and she also was sent to Azkaban," Archer shook his head, "if you're not on the list to join the auror trainee program by December, I'll put you down myself, you have great potential in catching dark wizards and witches."

"I'll have to get my grades up in potions then, I'm kind of flopping in that," Ophelia's one eye was squinted from the sun shining in her eyes.

"No worries, I'll send you all my notes there's a whole reason I got a O in the potions exam," Archer smiled as he looked down on Ophelia.

Ophelia hugged Archer, "Archer, I cannot thank you enough, I'd hate to give Tom the satisfaction that he's better at me in almost everything."

"No problem, Lia." Archer smiled, "what's happening with you and Tom anyways?"

Before Ophelia could answer, Abner turned around, "what are you two talking about then?"

"Ophelia signing up for the auror trainee program for next year," Archer smiled as he ran to the group leaving Ophelia to walk through the gate on her own.

"Ophelia if you don't sign up we'll do it for you," Dove folded her arms and the group agreed.

"We've been over this, I'm giving her my potion notes to help her get the grades she needs," Archer smiled.

"Such a gentleman, that's going to help Lia loads," Emory gave a painfully fake smile.

"Calm down Em, you're mad that they'll make the perfect duo by catching dark wizards and witches together," Edison laughed as leant his arm on Vincent's shoulder.

"Archer and Ophelia, the dynamic auror duo," Rune smiled as he moved his opened his hands as though he was presenting the title in mid-air.

"Let's make it happen, Lockwood," Archer pulled Ophelia into a head cute but comfortable headlock, not letting her go until she agreed.
