The summer months had wizzed past and only a few weeks of term remained.

Alya, Roxanne, Daira and Amalie all paddled in the warming waters of the lake while James, Frank and Nico all tried to push each other into the water still fully clothed.

The sun streamed through the leaves of the trees casting a dappled light across their faces.

James came running over, splashing the girls as he did so.

"What the fuck?!" Daria huffed wringing out her skirt that was drenched with water.

"Sorry Dar" he smirked, not really caring

James' white shirt had well and truly been ruined. It clung to his body causing it to become slightly see through while his gryffindor tie hung loosely around his neck, barely secured. He had tried to roll up the ends of his trousers to prevent them getting wet but that mentality had well and truly been abandoned. He messed his hair that sprung in even tighter curls due to the moisture as he waded towards Alya.

The six and seventh year girls form Gryffindor and Hufflepuff watched James, Frank and Nico from a distance, giggling and pointing

"Get away from me right now Potter" Alya warned as James approached her with a mischievous smile, "you're all wet"

"Come on Hill. It's fun. Let loose a little bit" he grinned reaching out and gently grabbing her writs pulling her forward

Alya didn't protest but only rolled her eyes as James guided her into the deeper part of the lake.

James let go of her hand, submerging himself under the water and popping up seconds later shaking his hair, "what? You're scared Hill?" He asked slyly

"No" Alya retorted

"Come on then. Prove it"

Alya huffed taking out her earrings her mother had gotten her for her birthday and placing them onto the bank of the lake before wading further into the lake, watching the the water level go from the ankles to her shins to her thighs and finally to her waist.

"Eyes up Potter" she scolded as she pushed her skirt down in the water as it ballooned up

James only laughed putting his hands up in surrender.

"That's it? You're not going to come any further" James asked raising an eyebrow as Alya stopped at waist deep

"What do you mean? I'm waist deep in the black lake in my uniform!" Alya replied exasperated, "plus, I don't want the giant squid to wrap its tentacles around me and drag me to the deep depths of the lake"

"It's alright, I'll fight the squid off" James winked

"Yeah? And what's your plan when it drags you under as well? Huh?" She asked

"Shut up Hill" he smiled pulling her further in

"No, Potter!" She shriek as her feet could no longer touch the floor.

"It's alright, the squids friendly Love" James laughed

"But I can't get away quickly if its coming. I can't touch the floor" Alya whined, treading water while James stood up easily and comfortably

"Hold onto me then" he answered casually

Alya thought about it before a few seconds.

Holding onto James or die at the bottom of the black lake.

Both were equally as bad.

Still, the houselves made treacle tarts on Monday and she didn't really want to die before then.

Nodding she swam over towards him, winding her arms around his neck as James held onto her waist.

"See, it's really not that bad love" James smiled

"You won't be saying that the squid makes an appearance" Alya shivered against him at the thought.

James rolled his eyes in amusement, "let the squid go"

"Fine, fine"

The group of girls all staring at James groaned as they watched Alya hold onto James in the water, walking away and muttering to themselves in disappointment.

Alya laughed as she kept dumping handfuls of water onto James' head making his hair stick down and fall over his face

"Well I can't see now" he said

"Fine" she laughed reaching forward and pushing his hair out of his face, "better?"

"Much" James winked looking down at her and scanning her face

"Shut up" Alya groaned hitting his shoulder

"Ouch. What was that for?" He gasped

"You know what" she huffed

"Right then. Looks like I am going to have to sacrifice you to the squid"
