Lucille Rose Potter

Chapter 32

"What're you doing here," Lucy jogged over to Sawyer once Angelina called lunch break.

Sawyer held up a wooden basket, "picnic?"

Lucy smiled and kissed him on the cheek, "sounds perfect, I have to stop by my dorm...is that my hat?" She frowned as a red Gryffindor hat was perched on top of Sawyer's sandy brown hair, "Sawyer! I've been looking for that for ages!"

Sawyer flashed a devious smirk, "oh I see, you can steal my jumpers and my clothes but I can't borrow your hat."

"Whatever," Lucy stuck out her tongue playfully, "I've got to run to the locker room and shower really quick and then we need to stop by my dorm because it's colder out then I expected, I need to grab a sweater."

"I brought you a change of clothes," Sawyer said, handing her one of his sweaters and a pair of sweatpants.

"How'd you get these?" Lucy asked, holding up her sweatpants.

"I went to Hogsmeade early this morning to grab a couple things, I took them from your room, I figured since you can't go to Hogsmeade I'd bring it to you."

"Thank you," Lucy smiled softly, "I'll try not to keep you waiting too long."

She ran back to Ginny and they walked to the locker room.

"Ok guys, that didn't go too terribly, be back here at 1:30 for flight drills." Angelina said as she grabbed her shower caddy, "everyone wash up, you lot smell and you're all covered in mud."

"Lucy!" Alicia came up to the redheads locker, "Katie was just telling me, you really think Sawyer doesn't like you?"

All the Gryffindors turned and stared at the two girls.

"You're joking right?" Jack Sloper stared at them.

"He's crazy about you!" Angelina cried.

"He just sat in the freezing cold and watched us fall in the mud for four hours," Ron stared, "blimey, I thought you were already dating."

"I don't have time for this guys," Lucy's cheeks were burning, "he's waiting for me, I have to hurry up."

"Ok! Have fun!" Katie smiled.

"Use protection!" Ginny teased.

Lucy sped away, her face matching her hair.

She took a quick shower and threw on the clothes Sawyer had brought her. He had given here one of his yellow sweaters that was slightly oversized on him so it dwarfed her frame, the sleeves fell down to her thighs. Casting a drying charm on her hair, she pulled it into a ponytail, shoved her muddy clothes into her locker and left the locker room.

"Ready, Love?" Sawyer offered her his arm.

"Yeah," Lucy breathed, wrapping her arms around his much larger one, "where are we going?"

"By the lake," Sawyer answered simply, "where we usually go."

"Ok," Lucy said, "I'm starving." 

"I managed to snag some food from Abe," Sawyer laughed, "we've got a picnic straight from home."

Lucy lit up as he told her this. She had been feeling slightly homesick and was bummed out that she wouldn't be able to go to Hogsmeade today, but Sawyer brought home to her with Abe's food.

"He sends his love and told me to tell you to visit when you get the chance," Sawyer said, "here we are."

He laid out a blanket and set down the basket, unpacking the contents.
