Storms Ahead

|Chapter 169 : Random Arrivals|

"Lia!"

"Amelia!"

"Move!" Smiling slightly I looked to the doors of the great hall, Adam, Ali and Jayden all coming in as they looked about confused

"You should be in your common room-"

"I should be-"

"It's like, almost midnight"

"So why're you guys here?"

"Well, for one. You needed to see our dazzling faces-"

"Two, we needed to see you-"

"Three, we need to wish you a happy Christmas-"

"It's nearly Boxing Day, Ali-"

"We've got enough time. It's fine" he told me after dumping himself down next to me, the other two opposite as I flicked my wand, a small light floating above us as I smiled at them

"Well, Merry Christmas then I suppose"

"Merry Christmas"

"Happy Christmas"

"M-"

"Why're you in here? By yourself?"

"I just wanted a bit of privacy" I told them with a smile as Ali scooted along the bench slightly and I let out a laugh before he shuffled back over

"As much as we respect the fact that you want privacy. We're going to be your company-"

"Whether you like it or not-"

"Jayden, that's harsh" Adam told him quietly as I smiled at the two and my wrist was grabbed as I looked to Ali who was staring at the black leather strapped watch on my hand with a gold face with silver stripes as I raised an eyebrow at him, feeling my face start to turn pink slightly while he looked up at me

"What's this?"

"It's a watch, Ali. Fucking hell"

"Fuck you Adam: I knew what it was-"

"But you asked?"

"Shut up. When did you get it?"

"I got it today.... as a present-"

"Who gave you it?"

"....someone-"

"It better not have of been that Ravenclaw-"

"I hope it wasn't-"

"Why and how do you all know about Lucas?!" I asked loudly as I drew my hand away as Adam took ahold of it and looked at it before they all looked to me with grins

"Nathan"

"And Cedric-"

"Yeah, Cedric wrote once-"
