She was amused by his gesture, and curtsied in response before taking a seat. "It's partly for you, because I remember you used to like forts too." So why not enjoy something so childlike in the place they were once and would always feel like children? "I can't remember if I asked for tea when making this room."

She didnt want to be one of these broken girls. She was fine with being the though, blunt one. Maybe something would change...sooner or later, the girl didnt know. It wasnt a big deal to her though.

Watching her friend having a little bit of trouble with his butterbeer, the girl couldnt help but chuckle. Did he seriously still find the surgeon thing absurd? Pffff...one day he'd see it clearly. This boy needed some training, Mc Fay way. As he didnt seem to recover anytime soon, she patted his back and laughed,“ are you alright there love?“ He was hilarious, how did all that butterbeer go down the wrong way?! Wonder boy Bolton. „You can be my president“, Vinnie beamed,“ even though i am not entirely sure you support my concept.“ Nope, that butterbeer incident made her have her doubts. Snort.

Vinnie took another sip of her butterbeer and listened to the Gryffindor carefully. His words, echoing in her head. Maybe they had gotten the second one a little too fast. Oh well, it was too late now anyway and the girl didnt mind feeling a bit...different. „Thats really deep“, she grinned,“thanks sweetheart. Thats a really good advice.“ The fifth year meant it, it was important to have good friends that pointed things out to you and helped you through rough patches. Louis seemed like the person to do that. „You know, in the end all the acts some has put up will crumble down anyway“, she nodded sipping on her bottle again, „ cause you cant keep it up forever. No one can be more than themselves. We all are who we are, no escape.“ And again she sounded so negative, even though she didnt intend to. All she was trying to say was, that being yourself was enough. But somehow the words didnt form in her head properly. Sweet. „No, no, no“, the girl shook her head,“ its very true. I wouldnt want to be with someone for a while and then find out i dont really know that person whilst he knows me.“ That would be the worst, thinking you know someone and then the blubble pops. Deep, tipsy Vinnie was deep.

It was adorable how the boys' face lit up as he spoke of his girlfriend. She was such a lucky, lucky girl. Louis was absolutely smitten. Awwwwwww.“I am sure she agrees“, Vinnie beamed,“ i bet you treat her like a princess.“ He probably did read every single of her wishes off of her eyes and did everything to make them come true. „ I am a bit jealous“, the girl joked and winked at her friend.

Awful? Little cherub wasnt awful...it was adorable and cute and squishy....and awful. „Okay okay it might not be the best one“, the Slytherin chuckled, amused. She could say whatever she wanted, Louis just burst out laughing every single time. Maaaannn, why was she so funny...maybe if it didnt work out with music and history, the girl would become a comedian. „ But you'd be a cute fat baby on a victorian valentines card“, she said, now laughing too,“ i mean who wouldnt want to buy a valentines card with your face on?“ No seriously, Vinnie had to come up with a really good nickname for him. She loved nicknames, so this was a little bit embarrassing.

„You seriously do" the brunette nodded,“ otherwise you'd have to shave it off. I mean kisses are important.“ Oh yes, kisses were like the most important. Beard yes or beard no, if the girlfriend didnt like beard the decision was made. The fact that Louis didnt REALLY have a beard didnt matter, he had to be prepared, just in case.

Oh no...he heard it. He heard her giggle. Whyyy butterbeer why. This was her downfall, from the cool rock chick to the little girl....and there it was. Oh merlin. „Heeyyyy“, she poked him,“ do i look like a little girl huh?“ Giggling was so...girly. She didnt even know how it happened, sometimes it just came out her her. Meh. „ I could tickle you to death, how little girl-ish is that huh huh?“ Actually...that was pretty little girl-ish...but pfff.

Vinnie started to laugh and she couldnt stop. Maybe it was the butterbeer and her slightly dizzy head or maybe it was the expression on her friend's face when she told him she was a former band member. „Didnt expect that hm?“, the girl grinned big,“ Oh well...i moved to Nottingham with my dad“. It had been quite tragic to leave her band members behind but she didnt have a choice. After all she wasnt off age. Wait, what? Starting a band here? Hogwarts already had a band...“ I dont think the dead kneazles would welcome that too much“, the fifth year shook her head, „ and i dont know enough people to start one. I just play drums outside now. I am pretty rad.“ Of course she was, she had practiced for years and years, unfortunately stones and tables and floors didnt quite have the effect of a real drumset.

She did it again? What did she do again?Oh please no...she definitely hadnt eaten enough to drink butterbeer,daaamn. „ Nope nope“, she sook her head grinning,“ you are hallucinating.“ Totally, the butterbeet had clouded his mind. Yes. Yes.

Ewwwwww...how could he go from strawberry foot to athletes food?! Athletes had smelly feet cause they were running a lot. „I might not seem like a classy girl but smelly feet are a no go“, the Slytherin made a face before laughing, „tell me louis bolton do your feet smell?“ Hopefully they didnt, cause the brunette was almost certain he was gonna hold up his foot for her to smell...

And there it was...the information that could kill her...and he had absorbed it.“Why do i not believe you?“, she chuckled and leaned in to look at him closer, „i will keep an eye on you my friend.“ And her foot away from him, good plan.

Oh, he knew far too well about the unpleasant and confusing feeling that came with learning that a person you thought you knew was actually someone else entirely. Of course, Justine popped into his mind then, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly as he remembered how she’d blackmailed him into keeping her true identity secret for her. Now that they were talking about the importance of honesty… what would Vinnie think if she knew the ‘Little Cherub’ had now joined the liars’ club?

When Vinnie came to the conclusion that he probably treated Delilah like a princess, the boy laughed, though there was still a shyness to his smile. “I try.” There was probably still a whole lot more that he could do for her; a girl like Delilah… she deserved everything. He just hoped he could give her as much. “Oh yeah?” he raised an eyebrow playfully when Vinnie teased about being supposedly jealous. “What can I say, I’m a proper prince charming,” he said with mock arrogance, obviously teasing as he took another sip of his butterbeer. A sober Lou would have probably given a sheepish ‘thank you’, but slightly-buzzed Lou had always been a little more playful.

“You’d be a cute fat baby on a Victorian Valentine’s card.”
Lou was laughing. AGAIN. Had Vinnie always been this funny or was it the butterbeer? … Nah, it was totally Vinnie. “You keep that up, and I’m gonna start preparing some Valentine’s cards with my face on them to sell on February.” Yes, students all around Hogwarts would from then on express their undying love for their significant other with cards featuring Lou’s face cut and pasted on the body of a fat little cherub angel.

Louis snorted at Vinnie’s offense. “You completely look like a little girl,” he confirmed with a nod, putting on a serious expression, as if he was telling her she was suffering from a deadly illness instead. When she poked him and threatened to tickle him to death, Louis chuckled. “You’ve outdone yourself on the little-girl-ness there, McFay. Should I expect to find you hanging out with the first years from now on?”

As Vinnie explained the reason she wasn’t in a band anymore, Lou nodded his head understandingly. Yeah, it probably wouldn’t be very easy for the girl to start with a brand new band when Hogwarts already had one of its own. “I’d love to see you play, though,” he said. “Maybe start a duo with Jun? He can sing and you’ll play the drums,” he suggested with a laugh. “I can be your manager, get you gigs around the castle. One night you’ll perform in the kitchen, another out in the gardens…” the boy trailed off when the laughter made it impossible for him to speak any more coherent sentences. Oh GAWSH, but how hilarious would that be? They’d be more like a parading circus than an actual band.

Did his feet smell?
Louis shrugged his shoulders. “I dunno, do you want to find out?” Smirk.

At least not with secrets that went deeper than people could see. So far, she had told one person about a secret. People were uncontrollable and it was best to keep as much harm as possible away from your own person and the people you loved....She probably would tell Louis at some point, a little more sober. „You dont have to worry with me though“, she shook her head smiling,“ i am as awesome as i seem.“ Snort. How very humble.

The Slytherin didnt know what was so funny about him treating his girlfriend like a princess...it was probably true. He was an angel. Snort. Louis the angel and Vinnie the devil. They made a great pair. „I bet you do“, she grinned and took another sip of her butterbeer. It would be so funny and cute to see them together at some point, just to tease Louis about the way he acted around her. Vinnie had to talk Jun into doing that. Yes yes yes.

It was hilarious how Louis tried to sound arrogant when in fact it just made the brunette laugh. He probably was the most down to earth person she knew. „ I can see that“, she grinned,“i am very disappointed she got me before i had a chance.“ Obviously the fifth year was joking, teasing him a little. It was just really cute when he spoke about her and his face lit up and all the stuff people did when they liked someone. Vinnie hadnt liked someone in a while but she didnt mind, the last time still haunted her a bit. „Do prince charmings not have disgustingly long and gelled back hair though?“, the Slytherin said sipping on her butterbeer..... and then she almost choked on it cause the image of Louis with gelled back hair came to her mind.

Vinnie cracked up laughing as he mentioned the valentines card. Oh my god, this had to happen.“ you'd look amazing on those cards“, she said trying to breathe properly,“ you know all the shy boys would maybe hand out their cards with your little handsome face on it.“ All the girls would sowwn over his cards,the dorms would be filled. The butterbeer probably was playing tricks on her mind and her imagination went on overdrive but this could totallt happen. „I'll even help you cut out your face“, the girl grinned wide,“ and we'll make a special one for your lady.“ A very special one. Hehe.

That was it. It was his own fault now. So the brunette climbed on top of her friend and tickled his sides. No mercy. „ You are an idiot you know that right?“, she chuckled, „ i am the most not little girl-ish girl ever. Admit it.“ Vinnie would just keep tickling him until he admitted that she was everything but a little girl. Pfff, he was only one year older. Get down from your high horse, Bolton.

„What would that sound like huh? A singer and a drummer?“, the brunette laughed,“ we need guitarrs and bass too.“ A voice and a drum didnt make a proper band. Gladly Louis seemed to be joking, as Vinnie was about to question his sanity and take the butterbeer away from him. Again. „ You'd be a top manager i am sure“, she snorted,“ selling our merch and giving us the right reputation.“ He'd tell stuff about them all the time, just to make fun of them. Yep, Louis was the born manager.“ So we'd be the traveling two?“, Vinnie laughed,“ i wouldnt even need a drum set. I could just drum on pots and pans and tables and stuff.“ That would be hilarious, but if the fifth year was gonna start her music business again she wanted to be taken seriously.

„ Are you daring me to smell your manly man feet, Bolton?“, the girl raised an eyebrow amused,“socks off.“ If his feet smelled as manly as he was, Vinnie didnt have any reason to be afraid.

Perhaps the ‘weapon that could destroy you in a second’ bit was a little too much for his taste, but he wasn’t about to debate on that. When she then reassured him he needn’t worry about her, Louis raised an eyebrow, his smile transforming into an amused smirk. “Why do I feel like that’s exactly the kind of thing someone I should worry about would say?” he asked with a laugh.

LOL. ‘Disgustingly long and gelled back hair’. Louis laughed for an entire minute at that; he would look ABSURD with his hair like that. No, no, he’d rather not even imagine it. The horror of the image would haunt his mind for the rest of his life. “I’m not like most princes, I suppose,” he joked with a shrug.

Oh no. Vinnie seemed all too enthusiastic about Lou’s playful idea with the Valentine’s cards. He could only pray to Merlin that she’d forget all about this conversation by the time February came around. “Riiight, good thing we won’t have to worry about getting those ready for a while…” he muttered, narrowing his eyes slightly at her. Knowing Vinnie, she wouldn’t forget. Maybe he SHOULD do this. Just one card though - for her. It’d be hilarious, he made a mental note to remember to do this.

“Definitely. I’ll even hang posters and everything,” Louis decided with a grin, chuckling softly when Vinnie decided she’d just drum on pots and tables. “Well… since you’d be missing most of the essentials for a proper band, why don’t you becoming a rapping duo? Jun will take care of the rapping and you can make the beats, on tables and stuff,” he suggested, his chuckles growing into a laugh as he imagined the scene. Out in the courtyard, Vinnie and Jun in hoodies and baggy pants that went all the way down to their knees; Jun shaking his head and rapping along to whatever beat a very thuggish Vinnie would play in the background. Ohmygoshhh… HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Yeah, now Louis seriously couldn’t stop laughing.

And it certainly didn’t help that a moment later Vinnie had tackled him and begun tickling his sides. Oh no, oh no, WHY. WHY VINNIE WHY. Louis was rather ticklish by default, but drunk? He was a laughing mess, so if she was expecting a formal apology for his earlier comment on her little-girl-ness, she was not getting it any time soon. Not when the poor boy could hardly even breathe. “WHA— STO—” Lou tried to push the girl off, but instead ended up rolling the both of them off the couch and onto the rug covering the floor of the sitting area. With his face a bright shade of red from the constant laughing, Louis looked up at Vinnie with playful accusation - “See what you’ve done, McF—OW!” Louis hit his head with the edge of the coffee table as he tried to sit up. JKAJ;FLSDGDLHJGH. Um, OW. That hurt. That really hurt. And even the buzz from the butterbeer wasn’t enough to soothe the pain.

Peeking open one eye she looked at him and chuckled. „You love me, dont deny it.“ That was completely besided the point but oh well.

„I am not like most princes, i suppose.“
That was very true. Louis wasnt like most boys. He didnt pretend to be a prince, he probably was a real life one. Cuuuuteeee. „I already noticed“, she winked and poked him,“ you're the modern version.“ Without the disgustingly long and gelled back hair. This was a new era of princes....and just like that Vinnie wondered if there was something like a prince academy, like Hogwarts but for princes. Hmmm...

The brunette could already see the cards in her head. They'd look hilarious, maybe they could even sell them. For sure little firsties would looooove to plaster their rooms with them. „We need to colour your cheeks rouge too“, she nodded, very exciting about this,“ and we need a photoshoot.“ If they did it, they would do it properly. It was hilarious how he narrowed his eyes at her. It was his idea, she was only supporting him. What a good friend she was. Hehe. „ We have to be prepared in Febuary, the business is gonna boom.“ BOOM!

„Posters? Of me making grimaces i bet.“, Vinnie laughed shaking her head. That would be the worst band posters ever, people would throw tomatoes at them. Snort. A rapping duo? Was he for real? „As long as i can make the beats in a leather jacket“, the Slytherin chuckled. Baggy pants only belonged to the category pjs....not in a million years would she wear them in public. Hideous things. She wasnt the most girly girl ever but there were some no no's. Like baggy pants.... Out of the sudden Louis started to laugh like crazy...what was going on in his head?! He probably imagiend her as a rapper now...oh please no. „ Care to elaborate?“, the girl asked raising an eyebrow, trying not to laugh.

Was he ticklish? Was he? Vinnie kept tickling him and laughed along. This was perfect, she would tease him about this for ages and tickle him whenever she wanted. Pity they werent in the same year, otherwise she'd do it during class. Now that would be hilarious.“ Who is the little girl now huh?“,she chuckled. And then it happened... they both fell off the sofa and landed on the floor. Oh my god.“Its all youuuurrr fault“, she laughed burring her head in his shoulder. The brunette watched him as he hit his head and squeezed her eyes shut feeling his pain.“What you doing silly?“ That must have hurt, the coffee table was sharp. Poor little cherub. „Come on let me see that“,she rolled off of him.

When Vinnie asked what he was doing, the boy opened one eye. “Oh, y’know. Falling off sofas, banging my head on pointy surfaces… usual boy stuff,” he teased with a grin, watching as she rolled off him to ask to see the damage. Lou hesitated for a moment but pulled his hand away from his head, letting the girl examine it. “Just tell me I don’t have a big hole in my head now, please.”

As Vinnie examined his head, Lou chuckled softly at her earlier suggestions of painting his cheeks rogue and having a photoshoot. “Oh? Do I get to wear a white cloth around my waist, too? And fake angels’ wings?”

“Leather jacket. Got it. Would you like it custom, with your name on the back? ‘ButterBeer Thief’?” Because, of course, Vinnie’s real name was not Vinnie McFay. It was BBT. This had been decided many butterbeers ago, the second she had stolen his at the Leaky Cauldron.

Actually, he wasn’t all that clumsy; Lou was too careful with everything around him to be clumsy, but butterbeer changed things, didn’t it? As she kissed his head and promised him some ice cream, Louis laughed, shaking his head with amusement. Vinnie would never see him as an actual grown boy, would she? It was amazing he was actually a year older than her, too. “This ‘Little Cherub’ would appreciate that, thank you.”

… WAIT. Had he just called HIMSELF Little Cherub? Oh crap wait— Now Vinnie was totally going to take that as a free pass to call him that all the time. Stupid butterbeer making him say stupid things. And still, the boy finished off his bottle and was already reaching out for a third.

He snorted, opening the bottle of butterbeer, as Vinnie decided they were ‘hardcore’. Yeah, real ‘hardcore’ to be having photoshoots with him dressed up as a giant, lanky version of a baby cherub. This conversation wasn’t weird at all, nope. Thank Merlin there were no witnesses around… He had to admit, though, he liked being a total weirdo with Vinnie. The girl was charming and accepting, probably the most judgement-free person he had ever met.

Louis raised his dark eyebrows when she decided he would have to get a leather jacket too. “Alright, then. I’ll get one that reads ‘Butterbeer Victim’. We’ll match.” He grinned and held up his bottle to toast to their brand new, nonexistent matching band jackets. He took a sip from his drink after, and gazed at the fireplace absentmindedly, just then realizing they were still sitting on the floor, their backs against the sofa. “How would you feel about some roasted marshmallows?” asked Louis, turning to Vinnie with a smile.

„And i got worried for a second“, Vinnie laughed,“ dont scare me again dude.“ The girl actually wondered if he was being serious or if he was joking...maybe he fell out ouf bed every morning? She had fallen out of bed more than once. Not on purpose though. As he started laughing the brunette beamed, he seemed to be fine. Had he just called himself little cherub? Ohhhhh this was perfect, so he approved of the nickname. Finally, that took quite some time. Smiiirk. Louis aka little cherub 24/7. Heh. „I'll get you some little cherub, you stay here and dont move.“ Otherwise he might hurt himself again. With that she grabbed her butterbeer and emptied with one large gulp. Ice cream and ice for his head now.

Coming back with a bowl of vanilla ice cream and some ice to put on his head she smiled at her friend. „There you go, little cherub.“ This was the start of her overusing his nickname. This was gonna be good. Maybe she could get Jun to call him that too, that would be hilarious.

„Together we are the hardcore cherubs“, the Slytherin laughed. That would be a real awesome band name and no other band would have ever thought of that. Instead of white cloths they could wear leather and the wings could be on their shoes. Make it all cool. But first valentines had to pass cause they needed to promote Louis image change properly. That would be so much fun.


Butterbeer thief and butterbeer victim. They we're some sort of a pair.“ Yeeessssssss“, she nodded excitedly,“ and everyone would ask so how did you meet and we could point to our jackets.“ No boring stories about how it was faith and hitting of right away blah blah, just their jackets. And who didnt get it, wasnt worth it anyway. Totally. Vinnie opened up another bottle of buttebeer and toasted. „ To us“, she beamed and took her first sip of the fresh bottle. Roasted marshmallows? Vinnie could hear some bells ring in her head and licked her lips.“ I love roasted marshmallows“, the brunette nodded,“ food is the key to my heart.“

“No more scaring the BBT. Promise.” Louis smiled and watched as Vinnie disappeared, only to return a moment later with a bowl of vanilla ice cream and ice for his head. He cringed a little at her use of ‘little Cherub’ but made no complaints; she was bringing him ice cream, after all. Can’t be mean to a girl who’s bringing you ice cream and something for your head.

“Mm, thank you, Healer McFay.” He flashed her another smile and took a spoonful of ice cream. Oh yes. Forget the ice, this was all he needed to fix his injury.

The Hardcore Cherubs. SNORT. “Could it be? Have we found the name for our new band?” he asked, turning to Vinnie with raised eyebrows. Chuckling, Louis took a long, greedy sip of butterbeer before pulling out his wand and conjuring up a bag of fluffy white marshmallows and a pair of rods. He handed one to Vinnie and laughed lightly when the girl explained that food was the key to her heart. “Seems like we’ve got something in common, then,” he decided with a smile, sending one of the marshmallows into the fire.

Healer McFay? What? „ Remember when i told you about my healer abilities?“, the girl laughed,“ people would get even sicker if i was their healer. I am impatient and very rude if i want to be.“ There was no way the Slytherin could be nice to someone she didnt like, without realising she would mix something into their drink or something. Gladly, she was into history and not into herbology and all the stuff you needed to become a healer. „But you're welcome, anything for my little cherub.“

Overuse.Overuse.Overuse. Hehe.

And just likt that the hardcore cherubs were born. Hogwarts very own wandering band. Now who ever said butterbeer didnt have positive effects on your imagination was totally lying. To that Vinnie took a long sip out of her bottle.“ To the creation of the hardcore cherubs“, she raised her bottle, „ to us, hardcore cherub 1 and 2.“ And with the marhsmallows they would have a proper little celebration. They didnt need all the other things around it, after all they were hardcore. Chairs and plates were overrated.

Eying the marhsmallow in the fire the girl licked her lips, that looked delicious already.“ So the key to your heart is food too?“ That was good to know, veeerrry good.

The boy laughed when Vinnie reminded him of what a terrible healer she’d make. “Impatient and very rude?” he asked, turning to her with a raised eyebrow. “I don’t think I can believe that until I see it. You’re easily one of the nicest people I’ve ever met…” Which was very weird, because if he actually believed the way Vinnie talked about herself, Lou would’ve thought she was a terrifying, mean creature. …Aaaand, there it was again. Little Cherub. Louis scrunched his nose disapprovingly but, again, kept his complaints to himself, instead taking another sip of butterbeer.

“To the Hardcore Cherubs!” Louis toasted with an amused smile, then took a long sip from his drink. He wondered vaguely how much of any of this they would still remember the next day - hopefully not the Little Cherub bit. Oh, please, allow Vinnie to forget all about that awful nickname.

“Indeed. But I think that’s a pretty universal key. Everyone likes food, don’t they?” said Louis as he pulled back the marshmallow from the fire. It was still warm and had turned a lovely shade of gold. Pulling the marshmallow from the rod with his fingers, Louis turned to Vinnie. “Open up.”

Louis thought so very highly of her, she'd never know how that happened. „One of the nicest people you have ever met?“, she chuckled,“ I am not sure if i should pity you...“ It really depended on the person the girl was with.She could be reallllly nice but she could also be reaaalllllyyyy beasty. But her little lion friend had never given her a reason to be beasty and he probably would never do that. So he was save. Hehe. AND she got to call him little cherub, what was not to love?!

Wait what? What was that? Vinnie chuckled as Louis seemed to enjoy her hair petting. Hopefully his girlfriend knew about this preference of his. Smiiiirrk. „Feeling better hm?“, she smiled as she kept running her fingers through his hair. Cute, Louis was being cute. Again.

„Cheeeerrrss!!“, the brunette toasted and grinned happily. The hardcore cherubs were born. Maybe they should throw a party to celebrate their birth and invite all of Hogwarts. Well all party appropriate people. The dark kneazles could play, it would be legendary. Hopefully Vinnie remembered all of this in the morning, cause right now she was feeling to tipsy to make proper plans that made sense. One thing was for sure though, Vinnie was very hardcore cherub and Louis was little hardcore cherub. Hehe.

„Everyone likes food, don’t they?”
Louis totally got fooled there, not everyone liked food. At least not like that. „ Ohhhh dont say that“, the Slytherin laughed,“there is a lot of girls you cant get with food.“ All of them looking after their weight. Snort. Vinnie couldnt be bothered with that. If she wanted a burger she wanted a burger, or maybe a lasgana. Grin.

Her eyes got really big as she saw the marshmallow Louis was holding up. It looked delicious. She grinned at her friend and opened up her mouth immediately, waiting for the soft little thing to be popped into her mouth. Yum. Louis was such a good boy.

He had been a little more worried last term, when he had just transferred, but to his surprise the students had been quite welcoming and helpful. Now he had a lovely little group of friends he could always count on. When the girl then asked if he was feeling better, Lou nodded his head, smiling and letting his eyes close for another moment. Merlin that was amazing. If she could just like, never stop, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

But then they were toasting and the petting had to take a break. Louis gladly took this opportunity to gulp down the majority of his butterbeer. It wouldn’t be long until he was on his fourth already. If Jun saw him maybe he’d be proud.

“Really?” Louis raised his eyebrows, genuinely surprised by this piece of information. Despite the fact that he spent more time with girls and women - due mostly to his family being all women and most of his friends girls - than with the lads, Lou had never really thought about their eating habits. It was just something he hadn’t paid a lot of attention to. But he knew his girlfriend certainly loved when he cooked for her and when they ordered pizza, so he kind of assumed all girls liked the same thing? Guess you really do learn something new everyday.

Louis tried not to laugh at the look of eager excitement on Vinnie’s little face as she awaited the marshmallow. “Here it comes!” he teased her like a child before popping the tiny treat into her mouth. He grabbed a couple more from the bag and sent them off to the fire to roast.

She had no clue what it was but the day she met Louis something changed. Vinnie had started fighting and leaving the past behind. And now, she had met so many amazing people that made her life at Hogwarts. Starting with Louis. „Thanks friend“, the brunette smiled running her fingers through his hair. It was really soft and she could just sit here like this forever. Also, it seemed to make him feel better about the little bump on his head.

Vinnie eyed the lion boy as he gulped down most of his pretty full bottle and nodded impressed. This was the second manly thing he had done on one day, she was proud. „Thirsty huh?“, she winked and gulped down a laaarge amount of her own butterbeer.

The brunette couldnt help but laugh a little at her friends surprised look. One could think he hadnt spent a lot of time with girls...when in fact most of his family were women if she remembered right. „Well i guess there is two types of girls,“she nodded,“ the ones that eat and dont care and the ones that are too worried about thigh gaps and weight to enjoy a good old greasy pizza.“ Vinnie definitely belonged to the girls that ate, greasy pizza sounded amazing...without realising Vinnie licked her bottom lip. She was gonna have pizza for breakfast tomorrow.

As the marshmallow popped into her mouth the Slytherin made a humming noise. It was sooo good. How it melted in her mouth. Sweet jesus, food was amazing. After chewing on her marshmallow happily the girl popped some into the fire and grinned at her friend.“You are next.“

When she went on to thank him, the boy beamed happily. “I knew you’d fit right in… Who wouldn’t want a Butterbeer Thief in their clique?” He laughed lightly, poking her playfully. Oh yes, cliques all around Hogwarts must’ve been fighting to get Vinnie to work her Butterbeer-stealing magic for them. She had quite an advantage there.

“Thigh gaps?” Lou raised an eyebrow at this. What about thighs? And gaps? That sounded a little weird, actually. Girls wanted holes in their legs or something? Whatever, this was too complex for his butterbeer-soaked brain. “Mmm… ‘good old greasy pizza’, huh?” He chuckled at her choice of words, though he couldn’t help thinking that a pizza at that moment sounded heavenly. But they still had these marshmallows and this large bowl of ice cream to finish up. Very healthy dinner they were having that night.

Taking another large spoonful of ice cream, Louis was halfway through with it when Vinnie announced that he was ‘next’. The boy turned to her with raised eyebrows, spoon in his mouth. “Next for what? To be sent into the fire?” he joked, gulping down the ice cream and opening his mouth to await his marshmallowy reward.

Now she sat here with here lovely friend drinking and roasting marshmallows and was out and about most of the time. Oh how the times had changed. And Vinnie loved it. „Oh stop it you“, the girl shoved him a little,“ you are the only person i would ever steal butterbeer of, feel honoured.“ It had just happend that day, a spontaneous action that she would never get rid off. Snort.

The Slytherin fell to the side as she saw the look on Louis face when she mentioned tigh gap. She fell to the side cause she was laughing too much. What an innocent little boy, he really had no clue.That was a good thing though. „Yeahhh girls wanna be holey“, she laughed. Luckily Vinnie couldnt be bothered about any of these things. All of them were idiotic and certainly didnt make you a better person, much too many peoples believe. Snort.

„Mmmmhhhhh...yes“, the fifth year licked her bottom lip again,“with lots of cheese and thick crust. I think i might have one for breakfast.“ Cereal and fruit could wait for another day, the routine needed to be broken from time to time. She took another large gulp of her butterbeer and put the empty bottle away. Another bottle down. Oh.

Getting the marshmallow out of the fire and puffing it, so her little cherub wouldnt burn his little mouth, she watched him put that spoonful of ice cream in his mouth. Louis seemed to be fine now so he had to share some of that later.“Exactly, you better be nice to me“, she laughed,“ or i'll send in the fire.“ Vinnie couldnt help but chuckle as she saw how he was sitting there, mouth wide open for her to pop the marshmallow in.“Here it cooommessss.“

You’re the only thief I would willingly give it to anyway,” said Louis with mock appreciation, laughing for a moment before narrowing his eyes at the girl. “Except this one,” he decided, pulling the bottle in his hand closer to himself. “It’s my last one and I’d like to make it last.” For this reason, the next sip he took was a brief one.

And then Vinnie was on the floor again, laughing hysterically. Louis blinked, his eyebrows raised. “What’s so funny?” The hole-y girls? “Are you making fun of my ignorance, McFay? Huh? Is that it?” the boy accused playfully, poking Vinnie on the sides with the rod he’d been using to cook the marshmallows. Gently, of course, he didn’t want to literally make her one of the hole-y girls. Snort.

“Hey. If you’re having pizza for breakfast, I’m expecting you to share,” he said, giving Vinnie a determined raise of the eyebrows. Not nice to be scheming to have the world’s most delicious pizza and not share with your bestie, eh?

Louis chuckled softly when Vinnie threatened to send him into the fire, eagerly taking the marshmallow she popped into his mouth at that moment. Mmmmmmmm. That was goooood. Between the marshmallows, the ice cream and the butterbeer, Lou was actually beginning to get a little full. And what did drunken boys with full tummies like to do? Things. “C’mon, let’s go do something,” Lou suddenly suggested, turning to Vinnie with a small grin. “We can turn this room into anything we want, remember?”

"I brought tea. Now then... why are we pretending to be eleven today, rather than enjoying being seventeen? I don't really object to blanket forts or being eleven, but I'm curious. Are you being... nostalgic?" She was just surprising him right and left today.

"Presents first? Or cake?" The most important question of all.

He was just so adorable. When they first met he had been so shocked after she stole his butterbeer and now he'd give it to her willingly? Adorableness overload. She eyed him taking an extra small sip of his butterbeer and laughed, the things she'd give to have a camera with her right now. „Dont worry, little cherub i wont steal this one“, the brunette grinned and took a sip of her own butterbeer. How had they finished all the butterbeer already? They definitely couldnt be let loose. Snort.

No matter what Vinnie tried she couldnt stop laughing and the poking didnt help either. She was extremely ticklish.“Yes Bolton“, she said rolling around on the floor,“ your ignorance is very funny.“ In fact it was really refreshing, Louis just didnt care. He definitely was one of the good boys. Another adorable thing about the little cherub, he preffered girls that ate more than girls that had thigh gaps. Maybe an effect of being raised by a lot of women? Possibly. Speaking that one sentence without laughing had cost a lot of energy and it wasnt long until the brunette was holding her belly, trying to breathe.

He wanted to do something? The Slytherin raised an eyebrows and took a large sip of her butterbeer. She felt a little bit tipsy but she didnt mind it was a nice feeling.“What have you got on your mind, cherub?“, she smiled and stood up,“isnt it usually the princes that help up the princesses?“ But Louis wasnt your usual prince, as they had discussed earlier, so Vinnie held out her hand for him.

Butterbeer made him careless about big things and overthink the small things. When Vinnie assured him that she wouldn’t steal the bottle he was currently drinking from, the boy’s concentrated expression broke into an amused smile.

“Oh, thank you for your understanding, McFay!” said Louis with mock offense, laughing along with the girl as he continued poking her like she was a giant marshmallow waiting to be sent to the fire. “Imagine if professors said things like that? ‘Well I’m sorry you’re so ignorant about this topic, students, but don’t count on me to help’,” he said with a laugh. Yeah, Vinnie definitely couldn’t be a healer OR a professor. Basically nothing that dealt with helping other people.

As the girl then got up and offered her hand, Louis pulled himself up with her help. “Well you didn’t give me much of a chance there, BBT,” he said with an amused smile, shaking his head. Vinnie had kinda jumped up before he could even think of what to do. “Not sure, but I’m in the mood for some fresh air, actually.” The room had been nice and cozy, but Louis had always been more of an outdoorsy kinda guy. “We could go skateboarding? Flying?” Now it was Vinnie’s turn to choose.
