The boy who loved

Chapter 6.23 (Inferius vs ghost)

Soooo Orion was pretty much a gigolo for some time. Katarina is pregnant. Blaise is a succubus. Ron and Lavender are still together and Harry has still not figured out that Caspian is Orion....I mean, come on, mate!

"The first Apparation test will be the twenty-first of April!" Said Elizabeth excitedly, falling down on Jace's lap as she waved a paper in her hands.

"Great!" Said Ron, sarcastically as he kept on grumbling about his failure thusfar.

Aurora just sighed and shifted a bit. She could see Elizabeth and Jace, sitting against a tree with Elizabeth's between Jace's legs. Her head was comfortably leaned back against Jace's chest and Jace had closed his eyes, basking in the first rays of warm spring sunlight.

To Aurora's right were Harry, Ron and Hermione. Harry was as usual perusing his Potions book with Hermione telling him off for it while Ron was loudly panicking about his Apparation which he had yet to manage succesfully.

Aurora, herself, was not the least bit interested in the Apparation test. She and Harry were both too young to take it and would have to wait until August.

Orion, against whose legs Aurora was sitting, was going to take his Apparation test too. He had legally already been allowed to Apparate since Christmas the year before but now that it seemed he was finally going to age normally, Dumbledore had his birthdate changed to 25 December 1979 and he was going to have to take the test again.

Aurora thought it very odd Dumbledore could just change someone's birthday like that and the only thing they asked for in return was a retaking of a test he had already done the year before. The Ministry was so well organised....not.

Orion, as usual, could not have been less interested in Ron's complaining, or Hermione and Harry's conflict over the Halfblood Prince so he had engaged himself in Jane Grey in what must have been the twentieth time he read the novel.

"I'm telling you, the stupid Prince isn't going to be able to help you with this, Harry!" Said Hermione loudly. "There's only one way to force someone to do what you want, and that's the Imperius Curse, which is illegal-"

"Yeah, we all know, Hermione," said Orion, looking up momentarily, "but I'm glad you keep reminding us every single time the problem comes up."

Aurora groaned and slapped Orion's chest gently to make him stop.

Orion and Hermione were never going to be the best of friends. Mainly because Orion, partly due to his Slytherin nature, had very little patience for Hermione's bossy all-knowing nature and hated how she often reprimanded him. It was at moments like these he felt a very desperate need to throw his age and experience back into the young witch's face.

Hermione turned red at Orion's comment while Harry laughed silently.

"How d'you spell 'belligerent'?" Said Ron, shaking his quill very hard while staring at his parchment. "It can't be B-U-M-"

Aurora, Orion, Elizabeth and Jace scoffed simultaneously. Their laughter growing even louder when Hermione said. "No, and 'augury' doesn't begin with 'O-R-G' either."

"Don't tell me he wrote down the words bum and orgy in a essay from Snape." Laughed Elizabeth, having to hold her sides because she was laughing so loudly.

"He did," nodded Harry, also looking severly amused.

"What kind of quill is that anyway?" Said Jace, pointing at the quill Ron was using.

"It's one of Fred and George's Spell-Checking ones....but I think the charm must be wearing off..."

"Yes, it must," said Hermione, pointing at the title of his essay, "because we were asked how we'd deal with Dementors, not 'Dugbogs', and I don't remember you changing your name to 'Roonil Wazlib', either."
