RAVENCLAW'S PRIDE |OLIVER WOOD

06

It was freezing now that Crescent found it impossible to get out of bed, her only comfort after getting up, however, was hot chocolate that was served every morning in the great Hall. Crescent found herself walking with the rest of the fifth year Ravenclaws on most of the mornings. It was different to have chattering fill her ears, as when she walked with Jessica it was usually silent. Jessica walked along with them, though her contribution to the conversation mostly consisted of yawning.

The Great Hall was full, seeing as there was just fifteen minutes left before classes started. They sat down at their house table, which was the least crowded, owing to the probable fact that ravenclaws had breakfast early and then rushed back to their common rooms to read, finish homework or sleep.

It was a common misconception that Ravenclaws did their homework right away. Some did. But there was a majority that spent their mornings completing essays. The girls sat down and quickly began piling food into their plates. Crescent quickly grabbed a packet of hot chocolate and added milk before taking a sip and letting out a contented sigh. She scanned the Great Hall to see if Charles was there. There boy had gone missing to Crescent for a month. She hadn't seen him at all. But today he was there. Dark hair among a group of sandy or blonde heads. The group was laughing as they ate but Charles wasn't. He smiled a bit but other than that he ate on, not speaking a word. She watched him and he seemed to have sensed her looking as he looked up and caught er gaze. She turned slightly red and smiled at him. He smiled back. She turned away, turning her attention back to her food, though she kept sneaking glances at him.

The bell chimed, signalling the end of breakfast. Students rose from their different house tables and made their way to their various classes, Crescent and her friends stayed back a bit allowing the crowd to thin a bit. As they walked out, she spotted Charles, not far away and decided to take a risk and talk to him. She told the girls where she was headed. Receiving giggles and goodluck she made her way to where Charles was walking slowly along with his friends. She walked silently behind them first, willing herself to say something.

She poked him in the back. He turned, wondering if he had imagined it until he saw her. He rolled his eyes before stepping back. "What?"he asked. "Well, you see I can't really take over the world, if Charles isn't there,"she replied, biting down a smile. He glanced at his friends before moving away from her. She felt hut and huffed in annoyance. She didn't notice him return as she walked with a sulky expression on her face.

He poked her which grabbed her attention. "Hey,"he said. "Hi,"She replied,'I.uh, noticed you weren't around for the last month or were you just ignoring and avoiding me?"

"You noticed, huh?" he asked, slyly causing her to huff,"And no, I haven't. I wasn't at Hogwarts."

"Why?Where were you?"

"Curiosity killed the cat, I wouldn't want it to kill you too."

She looked up at him to see his eyes gleaming."I wouldn't put it past you." "Oh really?"he asked, eyebrows arched. She nodded. "Well, what have you got now?"she asked. "Transfiguration"he replied. "Great,"she said,"You can walk me to class."

"Who says I want to?'he asked. "Me,"she replied, smiling up at him. He turned away and then looked back at her. "What have you got?" he asked. "Charms."

They walked in silence the noise around them filling their ears. It felt a bit weird not saying anything and Crescent racked her brains for something to say. She glanced at him. He really was gorgeous.

"You could take a picture,"he suggested, catching her eye. "Don't you have one on you?for all the girls that drool over you?"she said. "No, my stack got over before breakfast. You should have asked earlier, Bloom."

"I don't remember telling you my last name."

"I've done my research."

She looked at him at this statement, before smiling and turning pink. "Good to know."
