FIFTY

ooh milestone!

and awhh i missed lia...my memory is so bad i keep forgetting to include certain characters...oops

Mia stumbled out of the fireplace in Dumbedore's office and smiled at Alfie for reaching out to steady her.

"Welcome back, Mr and Miss Black." Dumbledore smiled at them from behind his desk and the siblings smiled at him,

"Thank you for letting us go back to see Mum and Dad, Professor." Alfie said earnestly and the old man nodded,

"I'm glad your mother is well." he replied before going back to whatever he was writing and Alfie and Mia took this as their dismissal. They walked down the spiral staircase and down the corridors, chatting about home.

"I hope James and Thalia get married soon." Mia mused with a smile on her face, "She really is perfect for him."

"Imagine if they had a kid." Alfie smirked, "They'd be a fucking badass."

"Or a terror." Mia scoffed and Alfie chuckled,

"Like me and you." he threw his arm around her shoulder and squeezed her, "Poor Mum and Dad for raising us." he commented and Mia giggled,

"Not to mention the fact that Mum had to look after Jamie as well."

The siblings laughed with each other as they neared their respective common rooms. They reached the place where they'd usually split up but Alfie didn't go towards the Hufflepuff barrels,

"I think I'm going to walk you to your Common Room, Mimi." he said with an innocent smile and the girl raised an eyebrow,

"Okay." she nodded and they began to make their way to Ravenclaw Tower, "But don't pretend this is for me and not for a certain blonde mademoiselle." she smirked as Alfie threw his head back and laughed, not one bit ashamed,

"Fair play, sis." he bumped his shoulder into hers and smiled, "But for the record, I'm definitely the kind of brother that would do that for his baby sister."

"Okay, Alf." Mia laughed and turned to look out of the window. The early morning sun was casting a pale glow over the red and orange grounds, autumn dressing the trees with beautiful colours. Mia smiled at the familiarity of the scenery but her attention was soon captured by an instantly recognisable yellow butterfly fluttering past the window. Mia stopped in her tracks and walked closer to the glass, whipping out her wand and muttering a spell so it swung open. Alfie frowned at his sister and was about to ask what she was doing when she raised a hand, absent-mindedly gesturing for him to carry on walking,

"Go on without me, I'll be there in a bit." she told him, not taking her eyes off the butterfly which was now floating towards the open window. Alfie shrugged and continued on his way to Ravenclaw Tower as Mia stepped back and smiled as the butterfly flew through the window and was soon replaced by the small form of Amelia White.

"Hi, Mimi." she smiled and hugged her friend.

"Lia!" Mia beamed and wrapped her arms around the girl, "I feel like I haven't seen you in ages!"

"I've been busy using my animagus form to frolic with the wildlife in the Forbidden Forest." Lia explained with a blush and Mia pulled away from the hug to jokingly cover her mouth in shock,

"You little rebel!" she exclaimed, "First breaking the law to become an illegal animagus and now going into the Forbidden Forest! Who are you?" she smirked as Lia giggled,

"I'm turning into you." she joked and Mia laughed,

"Impossible, you're too ickle." she rested her shoulder on Amelia's head and the girl swatted at it angrily,

"Foul, amazonian." she muttered and Mia laughed again, putting an arm around Lia's shoulders,

"Oh I missed you, you little flutterby."

Alfie only realised just as he arrived at the entrance to Ravenclaw Common Room that he'd have to answer a riddle. This prompted a tantrum right in the middle of the corridor. A tantrum that both attracted the attention of many Ravenclaws and also meant he didn't hear the door opening behind him. He was stamping around and muttering to himself when he heard someone clear their throat very loudly and he finally froze, turning around.

"Tillie!" he beamed and moved forward to wrap his arms tightly around her, not embarrassed in the slightest about being caught acting like a six year old. Tillie giggled as Alfie lifted her up and spun her around,

"Miss me much, Fifi?" she ran a hand over his raven hair fondly,

"Oh so much, Ti-" he stopped halfway through his sentence and put Tillie down, his arms still wrapped around her waist, looking very thoughtful,

"What's wrong?" Tillie raised her eyebrows and Alfie brought a fist to his mouth,

"I was about to call you 'Titi' but then I realised what I was saying." he admitted and Tillie burst into laughter, her forehead falling onto Alfie's chest,

"You're such a pitre." she said, her voice muffled by his shirt and Alfie made an affronted noise,

"I am not a clown!" he protested and Tillie's giggles increased, "Although, now I think about it..." he trailed off and Tillie lifted her head to see him close his eyes and his hair begin to shift from dark brown to a rainbow coloured afro. Tillie stared at him for a moment before erupting into peals of laughter once more and Alfie couldn't help his smile at seeing the girl throw back her head in gleeful hoots. His hair turned back to normal as he returned his arm to her waist and Tillie's laughs died down.

"Everything was so much quieter without you, Alfie Black." she tapped him on the nose and the boy smirked,

"But much more boring I presume?" he leant forward slightly and Tillie nodded,

"Oh, yes." she mirrored his smirk, "The twins did do a very good job at keeping your memory alive in your absence though."

"Just what I like to hear." Alfie smiled and leaned forward to connect his lips with Tillie's, a smile spreading on hers as he did so. As her arms went around his neck, Alfie was plotting. Not his usual plotting though, he wasn't planning an undoubtedly epic prank, oh no, Alfie was planning how to ask Tillie to be his girlfriend. So far all he had was fireworks and doves that held a banner spelling out the question, but he was sure it was going to be unforgettable.
