Heart's Desires [ Adrian Pucey ]

Part 15

It was the day school started once again. I felt a bit devastated, but I would get used to school again. I quickly got ready and started walking to go to eat breakfast. Adrian had already had breakfast since he had quidditch practice that morning.

"Hey!" Yill, Estella, Tamasha, and Christi yelled at me as they ran up to me.

"So, how was your break?" Christi asked

"Actually, it was fun!" I responded

"Ooo, what did you do?" Yill asked enthusiastically

"Oh, you know, just explored the castle, snuck out of it, worked on different projects, things like that,"

"What? Why?" Christi seemed a bit worried

"You could've been caught!" Tamasha said, laughing a bit

"But I wasn't...thankfully," I responded to both of them laughing.

"Thank Goodness!" Estella said

"I'll talk to you guys later. Bye!" Tamasha said as she left with her other friend Jessie

"So how well are you guys doing with school?"

"Uhhhhh- pretty good, actually!" I was a bit annoyed with having to talk about school, but I was happy to see her again.

"Same," Estella said

"Oh, okay, good then," Christi said

"Welp looks like we're here. Bye, I will see you guys later." Christi walked over to the Ravenclaw table.

"Bye! See ya!" Estella and I both said almost at the same time.

"Well, I'll walk with you to the Hufflepuff table, so how have things with you and Damien been?" I asked a bit quietly.

"Awesome, I couldn't be happier!"

"Awe, I'm very happy for you!!" I said as I gave her a goodbye hug and waved at her a little.

I sat down at the Slytherin table and started eating my breakfast, as I read the news, and tried to avoid contact with anyone. I was almost done with breakfast when I decided to get up and leave for class. I was walking when I felt someone cover my eyes. I already knew who it was, by the familiar scent, and how his hands felt. Not to mention I could feel his presence.

"Adrian?!"

"Yes." He whispered into my ear. I could feel his hot breath on my neck as he took his hands off my face.

"So how was quidditch practice?" As I asked, he warped his arm around my waist.

"Fun, but it was cold outside. But I'm warming up now."

"Good, I don't want you catching a cold or anything," I said, resting my head on his shoulder.

We made it to class and sat down. We were almost done with class, and I had spaced out multiple times during the lesson.

"We will have a project, which requires you to have a partner to work with. Whoever is sitting next to you will be your partner. There will have to be some groupings of three, and that is completely fine... lessons over, you may all leave now."

Adrian and I started walking out of the class.

"So, when do you want to start on our project?" I asked him

"Mmm, how bout tomorrow?"

"Sure, where do you want to do it?"

"How bout your dorm?"

"Alrighty, then, just tell me when tomorrow!"

"Sounds good then."

I smiled up at him, I found out (by him) that he is 6'3 (190.5 Centimeters), and I am 5'1 (154.94 Centimeters). It was a big difference, but I didn't care, and neither did he. The rest of the day was as usual, as normal as every other school day. Lunch was fun, mainly because Elleney had moved to the USA-so she would be going to Ilvermorny instead, but I also worked on homework, talked to my friends, and hung out with Adrian. I then got ready for bed and fell asleep while listening to music on the record player, meanwhile looking out onto the waters. I realized I actually never learned to swim, or never really been swimming at all. That was another thing I had added to my list of things to do before I die.

I woke up the next morning and did everything I usually do. Breakfast was good, not that it wasn't good. The transfiguration class was pretty okay. I didn't enjoy it too much. I did have that class with Adrian-actually-I had all my classes with him, thankfully. Charms was a much better class, in my opinion, then was History of Magic, which was my favorite class. Astronomy...I loathed that class. Divination was my last class of the day. I actually enjoyed that class. It was a rather interesting one, to say the least. The day seemed to be going fast, which was a good thing. I also spent some of my free time in between classes to meet up with Adrian, or my friends, mainly Estella. It was time to go work on Adrian's and I's project. I started making my way to my dorm.
