"I don't want to go, Marty." Gemma spoke softly as she wrote her ancient runes homework. The golden-haired boy breathed against her shoulder, feeling serene by her side. The Ravenclaw sat on the grass overlooking the dark forest and Hagrid's Hut. The sunshine was hiding between cotton clouds, chilling breeze brushed against the green grass made them waved to each passerby.

Martin rested his jaw gently on her shoulder as he peered down to the extraordinary purple letter on his hand. The neat handwriting was unmistakably from their Potion Professor, Horace Slughorn. The boy drew his lips into a line as he read the dinner invitee over and over again.
