32. Peskipiksi Pesternomi
Dedicated to Hey Ju and her beautiful Agatha

Reading a History of Magic textbook on the sofa in his common room, Simon stumbled onto a chapter about Harry Potter's second year with Gilderoy Lockhart. "Peski-piksi Pester-nomi?" he repeated and chuckled when he heard that the spell had absolutely no effect on the pesky pixies.The incantation was just ridiculous. He practiced saying it over and over again. "Peskipiksi Pesternomi" Beautiful. He glanced up from his reading, stealing a secretive look at Agatha. She was twirling her hair as she read something. A blush crept onto his cheeks. Girls made him feel weird. A smirk appeared on his lips. "Hey Agatha, say 'Peskipiksi Pesternomi' three times fast?" he said.

She glanced up, still twirling the strand of bond hair around her index finger. She raised an eyebrow at him. "Why would I even do that, Simon?"

"Because its fun," he tried.

"It's weird."

"Oh come on, live a little, I dare you."

A glint appeared in her beautiful aqua eyes. "Challenge accepted. Peski-piksi Pester-nomi. Peskipiksi Pesternomi," she looked back at her book. "Happy?"

"Very."

"Good because now you're going to attempt to do pointe."

Simon gaped.
