"I promise you Louisa, I am fine. You worry too much," Adam said jokefully, giving her a little punch in the side of her arm. When she asked about the groundskeeper letting them dig the ground up he bit his lower lip. "Er...I'm not so sure. I guess as long as we conceal it well enough and make sure we repair the hole, I can't see why he'd complain, right?" Adam pulled his wand out of his pocket and pointed it at a little area in front of them. "Diffindo," Adam said softly, moving the wand in a circle so that it cut a perfectly round seam in the grass. Using his free hand, he plunged his fingers into the dirt, cupping the round patch of dirt before lifting it up and setting it beside the hole.
"Would you like to do the honors?" Adam asked, looking at Louisa with a small smile.
His FAKE joke punch was obvious. Louisa knew that nobody gets sad and then starts joking a minute later unless they were hiding something or trying to change the subject really bad. So she submitted to his attempt and forced a chuckle.
Luckily, he'd started into action. She admired his controlled diffindo, hers would've blasted a deep messy hole in the ground to say the least. Her Charms skill was pretty good, though, it was just too strong and untamed yet. Louisa didn't want to risk anything and startle the other students.
Nodding at his offer, she placed the folded parchment in the small hole and helped Adam to move back the patch of dirt, patting it with her hand. "
We don't need to mark it, right? It's just a gesture of commitment we made." Or did he think they had to get back here later on should they failed their promises?
