A kiss from the moon

Kids

Sofia and Susan Bones were laying sprawled on a blanket, on the Hogwarts school grounds. Both of them were enjoying the last summer sun like a couple of lazy cats. It was Sunday morning and most of the Hogwarts students had gathered outside, all of them fringe to catch some vitamin d before the cold autumn would come.

"Hey why won't you tell me more about your summer?"
Said Susan as she shielded her eyes with her hand.
"What do you wanna know?"
Replied Sofia and rolled over on her stomach so she could look at Susan while they talked.
"I don't know..? What did you do?"
Sofia tried her best to not reveal anything on her face, Susan was good at reading people's expressions. Especially the people close to her.
"Not much really. I was home alone a lot, mum was off doing work things most of the time. I visited Zacharias for a couple of days as well."
Susan nodded thoughtfully, her brown eyes meeting Sofias.
"Yeah I heard about your mum. She's up for that Jobb at the ministry yeah?"
Sofia nodded.
"Yup, head of the aurors or whatever they call it."
Susan smiled.
"Yeah I think that's what they call it"
Sofia laid her head down on her arms, while she could feel the back of her head getting warm from the sun.
"Do you think Hannah has a thing for Smith?"
Susan's words got Sofia's attention instantly.
"Susan you read my mind, I absolutely think she has a thing for him."
Susan's eyes widened with excitement.
"Oh I knew it! She was totally bugging last night at dinner, all she could was stare at him! While he didn't stop talking about quidditch once during the whole dinner!"
Sofia chuckled.
"I think they are not very oblivious to the whole thing"
Continued Susan while Sofia was once again resting her head on her arms. Sofia wanted to tell her cousin about Ginny Weasley and their meeting, but somehow she felt as if the whole thing was very private. Like she would breach Ginnys trust if she told her.
"You listening?"
Said Susan, a little amused over how fast her cousin could loose interest in something.
"Yeah I'm listening"
Sofia wasn't listening.

Later, Sofia was sitting squeezed in between Ernie and another boy named Sol in one of the couches in the library. Ernie was a little scared of Sol and his green mohawk so when he had seen Sofia he had instantly pulled her down so she could sit between them. Sol wasn't a mean boy at any means, Sofia even quite like his strange hair.

"Hey Bones, do you think that your cousin would ever date me?"
Said Sol and threw an arm around Sofia, the same time as he threw his magical history book in his lap.
"I think it's as possible as Snapes hair not being greasy one day."
She looked at the boy who had a smirk on his face. Sol had a little scar that went from his top lip to the bottom of his nose who looked a bit funny when he smiled. She wondered how he got that.
"Well then tell her to call me when-"
"Hey! Are you two really studying over there?"
Sol got interrupted by a six year Hufflepuff named Cedric.
"Yessir!"
Said Sol and saluted. He picked up his book again and buried his nose in it. Cedric shook his head.

Most of the younger Hufflepuffs were actually in the library today, this because of an initiative started by some of the older students a year ago where they would help they younger ones study. Today it was some bloke named Cedric who was helping them, but he would mostly just tell them to read and then go talk to some girl named Leanna. A bit of player that one thought Sofia. And bloody hell was it boring. She looked at Ernie, who was using his book as a shield so Sol wouldn't look at him.
Sofia nudged Ernie. He peaked over his book carefully. Only his brown eyes were visible.
"Let's scat."
Said Sofia and Ernie nodded. Carefully they sneaked out of the library while avoiding all the creaky floorboards like seasoned pros.

There was a few students walking through the halls, talking and laughing. The portraits on the walls were having fun as well. Ernie and Sofia walked past a portrait of a gathering of monks having a tea party with a donkey. The two friends walked up and down the halls of the castle while talking about everything and nothing.

"Hey do you think Marja likes me?"
Said Ernie all of the sudden.
"I don't know"
Said Sofia thoughtfully. Marja was good at hiding her emotions while they talked about that stuff.
"Do you like any of the boys?"
Said Ernie carefully. They usually didn't talk about stuff like this so it felt a little weird.
"No..? Don't think so at least? How do you know you like someone?"
Said Sofia and Ernie went quiet for a while.
"I think.. maybe if you think their hair is pretty?"
Sofia laughed at his words, but she couldn't help but think of Ginny Weasleys pretty ginger hair. At the same time Ernie was thinking about Marja Rosegarden and her pretty black curls.
