Yep. He had been totally right. The crying/ sobbing on Eden’s part was because she was graduating. She gave great hugs, by the way and Adi returned the squish. “Let it all out,’’ he told her. He was a good shoulder to cry on. Was this going to be him next year? Surely the clinging and the hugging maybe even tears. Yeah, he wasn’t afraid of showing his emotions. “You’ll come visit us on Hogsmeade weekends, yeah?’’

Adi squashed Lux back. He loved her like the twin sister (since they were practically the same age) he never had. “That I am. We’ll be old buds togeth-‘’ WHAT?! “I must have sand in my ears, Lux. I think I just heard you say you’re not coming back next term?’’ Pffft. As if. Surely he heard wrong. He kept EYEING her as she talked about the Lake and food. “We can’t let you break your promise to Bay,’’ he said, tilting his head. “I would recommend everything! The kebabs are the best though. And the shrimp and dip.’’

More kebabs please! Adi reached for another round, still surveying Benny. And Henric. Were they friends now? Had Benny FINALLY saw the light and was giving the younger Hufflepuff a chance? He snorted and speared one of Benny’s crab cakes with his kebab stick thingy. “Excuses. You know everything about me.’’ Don’t ask. Adi had no idea why he was giving his bestie a hard time. He bit into the crab cake. Om nom nom. This was delish! Anywaaay… “But just forget about it. The next time something attacks us, I’ll find out then if you’re afraid of them.’’ Great Hippogriffs! What just tumbled out of his mouth? He hadn’t meant to say THAT. “I mean, forget it. It’s in the past. I now know great big spiders terrify you. Might make for a good prank someday…’’ already his brain was in motion, thinking of one. Hehe.

HA! Did Henric and his brain think they could evade him? NUUU! Adi carefully aimed the stick to poke his friend. And him and pumpkins! “You need to grow a pumpkin patch at your home, Henny. Your dad could make an endless batch of pumpkin treat for you and fatten you up.’’ Teasing Henric was SUPER FUN! “None for you, none for you!’’ he chanted in a sing song voice. Adi stopped with the singing when Henric took the lemonade. “Henny’s being brave, isn’t he? Prepare to explode!” Mwahahaha!

“Exactly!’’ Adi happily told Ilia, not at all realising that she had not answered his question. Food talk was the perfect way to distract him. “A spoonful of this and a spoonful of that. You’ll still get full and Henric would have to roll you back the dungeons.’’ HAHA! That was a funny thought. “I could levitate you if you like, though.’’ That was his thing, yo! “I think you had better hurry, Ilia. If we let Henny rampage around here, all the kebabs will be gone in a second.’’ And then… LOL! Adi doubled up with laughter. “That’s hilarious! He would have a lot of flavour, yes.’’ Ilia had jokes. He liked that.

Wheee! Everyone was having the time of their lives, weren’t they? Adi was so pleased the group of prefects had managed to pull this off. All that hard work paid off, yo! He was distracted by a SHOUT and a SCREAM just then O__O It was Ilia who had screamed and tumbled on her butt. What was with her and falling on that, man? He turned in the direction of the shout, since Henric was helping Ilia, to see the Groundskeeper of all persons running towards them. Merlin! Adi had forgotten everything about the man! Aaah! He was alive! “Mr Groundskeeper! You’re back!’’ WOOT for him being back but there were questions about his whereabouts too. Gosh, the man looked filthy and wild though...
