Trouble

Part 54

" You can all fuck yourselves if you think I'm going to jump!" Blaise said.

We were all stood in our bathers looking down at the water from the rocks. We tried to make Blaise go first but of course he is afraid of heights. 

We all exchanged looks between the 7 of us and slowly started moving forward around Blaise, trapping him against the edge. 

He turned around, not expecting us to be as close to him and in fright jumped of the edge, hitting the water seconds after. 

We all looked out at the water for a few seconds before Blaise popped his head above and we all released a breath. 

One after another we jumped of into the cool water below and met Blaise who was not happy. We swam around and to the waterfall finding a cave behind so we went exploring. Tom was in front of us and we all had our wands out using the light. 

We turned down a corridor and Tom moved a slab of stone that had been carved out to look like a door. He slowly and carefully opened it and moved it aside before continuing into the room cautiously. 

It was quiet except from the light sounds of our feet hitting the stone floor. Once we were all in we went to separate sides of the room and it lit up. The walls were scattered with colours and drawings looking ancient. We admired the drawings trying to understand them.

" I think this dude either ate a crocodile or was eaten by the crocodile. " Blaise called out tilting his head to the side. 

We spent a while in the room before closing the door and leaving the same way we came. We jumped back in the water before  getting out and climbing the rocks again.

The day was spent in the water before we got out and made our dinner above a fire. It was kind of warm so we brought our sleeping bags outside by the fire. 

The sky was lit with stars and the moon was bright in the middle. The tall trees that surrounded our camp spot added to the view and we all peacefully slept.

Since we slept outside, the sunlight woke us up and we made some coffee and tea. We changed into some day clothes and went for a walk in the woods. 

Pansy came behind me and lightly tapping me on the shoulder before yelling ' Tag, you're it.' and running away. 

The others split of and ran while I counted, before going after them. I took a left and dodged some trees. Tom's shoe was peeking out from a tree so I sneaked around and scared him. He screamed with a high pitch voice and I laughed before running away. 

We continued playing a mix of hide and seek and tag for a few hours before meeting back at our tent. We had  lunch, which was pre-packed sandwiches before going on another hike.

We walked up a hill and took a seat on the grass while we talked. Daphne brought a pack of cards and we played, talked and chased each other around for a few hours.

We got going and the boys raced each other down while Pansy, Daphne and I took our time. 

" I'm excited for graduation. Do you guys know what you want to do after?" Daphne asked.

" I don't want to get into anything straight away. Maybe take some time to travel or just enjoy everything before we have to go into the 'real world'. What about you two?" I said.

" I mean we could all live of our parents money and still be set for our great great great grandkids." Pansy stated matter-of-factly. 

" I kind of want to be a healer." said Daphne. 

" You would be really good at that Daph. You wouldn't have any problem passing your NEWTs." I told her. 

We continued talking about our future's as we made our way back and by the time we got there the boys were in the water playing with an inflatable beach ball. We joined them in the water and relaxed for the evening enjoying our last day here.

Once we had our dinner and were in the tent we packed up majority of the stuff except from the things we would need for tomorrow morning and went to bed.

In the morning once we woke up and got ready we went for a quick walk around and re-visited the café, before packing the final things up and apparating back to the manor. 

It was almost midday and Narcissa was in the kitchen making lunch for us while we unpacked and had proper showers. We then met at the garden patio where Narcissa had made pasta, salads and fresh bread.
