Storms Ahead

|Chapter sixty five : Leaving|

"Are you absolutely sure you've got everything?"

"Yes"

"Positive?"

"Yeah"

"Magpie positive?" Nathan asked with a grin as a smile formed on my face and I nodded as I was pulled into a hug from where we were standing on the station as I hugged him back with a sigh

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I just... I don't know, I'm just tired" I told him quietly as a crack sounded from behind us and I turned around as he looked up and I glanced around before turning to look at him

"She didn't even say goodbye"

"I'm sure she'll be back in a minute, she might've just-"

"She didn't forget anything. She never does-"

"Well you do look tired. Remember to write, yeah?"

"I will"

"And enjoy yourself"

"But living with Pansy, Daphne and Millicent is like a sorority. Nobody sleeps, everything's broken and there's a lot of screaming"

"Well that sounds just amazing"

"It is"

"I might show up to Hogwarts at one point or another, cheer you up with my amazing face" he said to me as I started laughing, looking up with a smile as I stepped back and took ahold of my trunk, Chiara already with the other owls as he took it from me

"I'll take it"

"I can manage-"

"I know you can, but I'll take it" he told me with a grin as he started walking towards the train, around people as he pushed it onto the trolley with the other ones that were stacked in tens

"Amelia!"

"Hi Miles" I smiled after I turned around, watching as he made his way over with a grin

"Good holiday?"

"Great actually thanks. Can tell you've been abroad: you're tanned"

"Just slightly" I laughed as I felt hands on my shoulders and I looked at Nathan with a smile, glancing to Miles who stood silent, eyes ever so slightly wide

"Miles Bletchley, right?"

"Yes sir-"

"Don't call me sir. Please do not call me sir" Nathan told him amused as a grin grew on my face and I looked at him as his face turned pink

"Well anyway, I've got to go. I'll write soon Lia"

"Bye Nathan" I said to him with a smile as he disappeared and I looked back at him, pointing amused as he stared at me

"Don't even-"

"'Sir. Sir?!' Why did you call him 'sir'?"

"I got nervous, alright? Stop judging me and get on the train" he laughed before shoving me on as I swatted the back of his head, passing both Ginny and Oscar as I smiled while glancing in the compartments, eventually finding the three as I slipped in with a grin, the train just starting to move as a body jumped up

"Did you go to the liquid zoo where you can walk inside?!"

"It's a fucking aquarium Pansy not a liquid zoo"

"Oh. Close enough"

"You're not even remotely close!"

"Yes I am. In my head anyway"

"Yes well, your head is a very dangerous place"

"Oh trust me, I know. It's not as bad as yours though"

"Point made" I laughed as I grinned at the other two

"Alright?"

"Pretty good, yeah"

"Same to be honest"

"Oh, by the way... there's going to be a surprise at Hogwarts-"

"Their is?!"

"Yeah-"

"Tell us!"

"No"

"Please!"

"Again. No. Now please stay quiet, my head is already sore"
