“Want to be impressed?” Charlie asked, semi-seriously, sitting on a broom hovering a few feet above the ground.
Astrid was sitting against a goalpost trying to draw up a game plan for Saturday’s match, “Let’s see it then.” She said putting her notebook down, grinning at Charlie.
Charlie leant backwards and swung upside down, knees hooking him to the broom. He held up one hand to shield his eyes from the sun, “This isn’t even the impressive bit.”
“You’re joking.”
He took his other hand off the broom handle and let both arms hang down, wiggling his fingers. His shirt dropped revealing a pale stomach with solid abs. “Hands-free.”
“Impressive. But I like the view better.” She said smirking
Charlie winked, “There is more to this technique then showing my abs, Astrid. Look at my flying skills.”
“You’re motionless,” She said chuckling
He smirked at her. Then crossed his arms over his chest and started circling her, looking her dead in the eyes. “Not so motionless now am I.”
Astrid grinned, “Charlie, I am impressed.”
“Yes, you are. This is better flying than half the Hufflepuffs team is capable of.” She laughed, Charlie was still circling behind her then back in front smiling, arms crossed over his chest. “Astrid, now it’s your turn to impress me.”
She smiled, “I don’t have… wait I did bring my broom. One second.”
She grabbed her broom and lifted off from the ground facing Charlie and quickly braced her knees to her broom handle and swung upside down to look him in the eyes.
“Impressive. But I still win.” Charlie said smiling
“Did I say I was done?” She said with a laugh. She nudged her broom closer so Charlie and she were nose to nose. He began to smile wider probably knowing what she was about to do. She cupped his cheek in her hand a brought his face closer to mine as she pressed my lips to his.
“Yeah, you win,” Charlie mumbled in between the kisses
“I know I do,” She replied smiling against his lips. She pulled back still grinning, “Don’t we have a certain Badger team to win against?”
“We’ve flatted them before,” Charlie said, “Their main Keeper is in the hospital because of their last game against Slytherin and their star Seeker has that muggle disease.”
“Okay, we can take a small break from strategizing. Want to head down to the giant squid? I know you love to feed him.” She said getting down from her broom
“Really? Wait how did you know I feed Maven?” Charlie asked
“A little- you named the giant squid Maven?” She questioned
“Of course I did,” He replied
“Leave it to you to name the giant squid Maven…” She said laughing, “Okay let’s go, feed Maven.
They left our equipment in the Gryffindor tent and walked down to the lake, their hands intertwined with one another, both laughing contently.
