"Put me down! I swear i'm going to kill you-"

"I'm counting on it." he snickered.

I continued trying to squirm out of his arms, while I was dangling off of his shoulders. He was taking me merlin knows where, I was positive he was going to kill me. He took me outside through the huge entrance doors of Hogwarts and he began to speed-walk hoping nobody would see us.

"Tom I'm being so serious if you don't put me down right now!" I shrieked while I flopped around like a fish in his arms.

He held on to my legs tight as the view of Hogwarts became more and more distant. He was taking me to the Great Lake.

I punched and kicked but nothing could seem to release myself from him.

He brung me closer to the lake, where he was now standing by the shore. I kicked him in the balls and he let go of me, wincing in pain.

I bolted as fast as I could, my adrenaline rushing vigorously to my brain. I tried getting as far as I could only to feel cold hands grip onto my waist.

"No-no-no-no let go of me!" I couldn't help myself but laugh uncontrollably at the tickling sensations he was giving me by touching my waist.

He briskly swooped my legs off the ground and picked me up like a baby in his arms. He bolted back to the shore, ready to throw me in.

"You said you weren't weak right?" he taunted as he rocked my back and fourth.

"I swear if you fucking throw me in-"

"ONE"

"Tom stop right now!!!"

"TWO"

"I'm gonna kill you!!"

"THREE"

Before I knew it I felt myself release from his arms and flew into the air, feeling the crisp wind sting my cheeks. I plumaged into the icy lake, feeling water burning up my nostrils. I felt my body freeze from how cold it was and I quickly rushed to the top.

I swam to the top only to see Tom laughing uncontrollably, grasping onto his stomach.

"I can't breathe." he choked on his own laughter.

"You've really done it this time jackass." I roared as I floated at the top, wiping my hair out of my face.

"Please don't be mad at me." he continued chuckling.

"I won't be mad if you help me out." I insisted as I swam to the dock.

He rolled his eyes and hurried over to the dock, bending down and reaching his arm out.

"Fine."

I reached my arm out, gripping onto his hands only to pull him in the water with me .

He sank to the bottom and I couldn't control my laughter. I tried swimming away as fast as I possibly could but I felt strong arms grip my legs underwater.

He pulled me down with him, and pushed my head underwater so that I would sink down further than him.

I swam back up to the top, only to see him over the water breathing heavily as smoke released from his mouth and out into the cold air.

"Now we know who the weak one here really is." I sneered as I continued wiping my hair out of my face.

"Oh shut up, I let you pull me in on purpose." a small smirk formed on his lips.

"Mhmm."

Suddenly, memories filled my head of when we kissed at the astronomy tower and swam here together late at night right before I left to go see my father.
