I WALK TO THE COURTYARD TRYING TO FIND THEODORE. "What are you going to do?" I look up and see Charles. "Theo and I will spend the afternoon together in Hogsmeade, what are your plans?" "I wanted to spend it with you, but I think I will hang out with the rest then." He laughs while running his hand through his hair. "Did you now?" I ask with a grin as we step into the courtyard. "Yea I mean you are my favourite girl on the list." I push him a bit and roll my eyes. "Fuck off, Charles." We arrive at the boys who all look at us. "Ahh, the lovebirds arrived. I must say, Luce. This hurts I thought it was supposed to be our day today." "Call us lovebirds one more time and I will make your you can never use your wand again," I say threatening what makes the others cheer a bit. "What a shame would that be for the girls on your list, right Theo?" I continue, "Let's just go," he mumbles annoyed and I grin. "Sounds like a plan. Have fun, today boys." I want to turn away from them but Charles grabs my hand and pulls me back. I stumble a bit but he catches me on time. "Wha-" The taste of cherry interrupts my sentence and I can only kiss him back. The others don't say a thing and I am happy about that because this confuses me as much as it confuses them. Our lips leave each other but he keeps me close. "Why did you do that?" I whisper confused, not knowing what to do. "Because I wanted to show others that you are mine." I laugh and bite my lip. "Wow, how possessive as a child jealous of a favourite toy," I say with a grin what completely changes the mood. "Oh piss off, I didn't mean that." The grin keeps growing and I can't help it. "No? I kind of like it when you're jealous." "I am not fucking jealous." He says while pushing me away. God, I love these games. "We will see, Garfield. Only time will tell." I say seductively while running my hand through my hair. "Just another name." He mumbles to himself and I roll my eyes. "Maybe I should make a list about guys I fucked, sounds fun, doesn't it Noah?" I am getting annoyed right now and it makes me say stupid things.
"Don't fucking play with me right now." "But dear Charles, I am always playing with you." I lick my lip and after I grab Theo's hand and together we walk towards the gate. "Fuck you, Lucy." I hear him mumbling from behind but I ignore it.

Later we are walking through Hogsmeade and Theo looks at me. "Just say it." I sigh while we walk into the three broomsticks. "No, I know you don't want to talk about it and-" "Theo please," I say as I sit down. "Look, I know Charles for over 6 years now and I know he cares about you. I don't really care if you two are together or not, but just keep that in mind okay...-" "And?" "And Jo may or may not have made out with me... Again." For a moment I just stare at him. "Wait, what? When?" "After the quidditch match, I thought you knew." I stay silent. "Well, I don't." "I am surprised she didn't tell you or that you didn't hear it from Charles." A laugh escapes my mouth. "Why Charles?" "Because he caught us." The waiter gives us our butterbeer and I smile for a moment as a thank you. "He caught you? Why am I not surprised?" "Oh shut up."
