41. Thestrals
Spring 2077 - Hogwarts Grounds

Louisa is crouching behind a tree at the bottom line of forbidden forest, Adam is standing nearby staring mesmerized at the empty air.

"Can you see them?" She whispers, tugging at his sleeve.

He nods twice, "Two of them. They seem to like your metal egg."

Louisa frowns at the empty air, "They can NOT take it. It's my Charms homework." She bats her eyelashes at her best friend then.

Adam chuckles quietly and flushes a bit, "I'll get it for you."

Was it really so hard for the girl to notice how much he did for her? Not really.
