16. Impedimenta
She felt so stupid; giving a flower to someone she didn’t know the name of... Of course the Unbreakable Vow thing was probably a lot higher on the idiot-o-meter. She blushed; he was staring at her again in that way that made her insides melt. She didn’t know why this stranger made her feel this way, perhaps she had felt this way before about him. He looked away from her then and up towards the cottage. “They will be looking for you soon.” He said with a faint touch of blush to his cheeks. She stood up and he followed suit, looking down at her seriously and she said, “I would like something in return. Would you give me a goodnight kiss?” She blushed but otherwise stood her ground. She wanted to know where she stood with him. His face turned faintly pink, but he pulled her up to him and gave her a very chaste kiss on the lips. She smiled and left him on the beach. She intercepted Ron as he was coming to check on her and she said, “Impedimenta!” Ron stopped in his tracks with a confused expression and she pulled him inside, “I’m coming alright!”
