Callum was sensing a soft squeeze on his hand, relieved about the fact that she hadn't just ditched it after he'd been starting to kind of playing up again. The worst might be that he exactly knew he did, but just couldn't stop himself at times. He'd never been that kind of person who swallowed down his anger. His father definitely could tell a thing or two about that. And since Callum was totally aware of his temper, he rather wasn't following Anya's look back behind at that Professor. "Nothing,", she finally said. And yet again was he kind of relieved about her seemingly not taking his question amiss on him. "He just promised to tell me all about that run down building later."Later? The inner scoff almost broke through the surface but Callum had been able to hold it back last minute. He truly didn't mean to make things any worse between them, and above all, he would not allow this Professor to drive a wedge between them. So he tried to ease himself a little by just concentrating on looking at Anya, while she continued. "It's a restricted area and it was his job to get us out. I shouldn't have tried to bargain. I had no idea he was a professor!"So, what if he wasn't? No, Callum, that would not be a wise thing to say. "I know... Crazy, isn't it?", he said instead and put on an overly easy-going mien all of a sudden, while, at the same time, still sounding kind of pissed. He tried to ignore the fact that the Professor was still walking somewhere behind. As they continued their walk, he threw hesitant glances over at Anya every now and then, thinking about apologizing for his former behavior. But then again, how would he do that without explaining for what exactly he felt the need to apologize? He still wanted to just kiss her, but would she want that? Not right now, of course - well, surely not as long as that stupid man was behind them - but probably not right after he would have left either. Damn, why was this so complicated?
Eventually, a light smile mixed up with his tension. Complicated or not, it was also amazing, he thought as he realized that their hands were still linked together. She was amazing.

Nathaniel had walked away from the students but not too far away. He still could observe them. He wanted to be sure that they really leave this place. It was not because he worried about their safety. To be honest he didn’t really know why this area was forbidden. He really had to find it out for himself before he calls Anya into his office. That was the problem when you were new at this place. So many things he still had to learn about Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. Yet he already knew that you could get some good booze here. Oh, and of course, some nice love interests…
He shook his head to clear his mind and concentrate on the two students. Well, for him it was so obvious that there was an unresolved sexual tension between these two. So why did they act like this? If he would have been in one of their places he would have make a real job for it. Just grab the other one and finally kiss. Again he had to shook his head but this time because of their behavior. "Teens…," he said with a sneer on his lips while he still followed Anya and Callum but keeping sufficient distance.

Professor... what was his name again? She recalled him saying Nathaniel but couldn't recall him giving his last name. Was he one of those "cool" professors who had his students call him by his first name? Professor Nathaniel would have to do for now in her thoughts and if she needed to address him or refer to him.
Back on track of her thoughts, Callum definitely didn't seem to like Professor Nathaniel. There were quite a few people Callum didn't care for so she didn't think too much of it. Anya caught the hint of a smile starting to work its way back onto Callum's face. She didn't want to ruin that by continuing on the topic involving the promise from the professor, but she was tired of almost always being promised she'd be told something later and later always became later still until she got the hint that the time would never come.
The curiosity to know at least a little something about that shack was gnawing at her and bringing it up again might work out for the better. Seeing as Callum didn't care for the professor, she figured the mention of limiting the need to spend time in the professor's company might serve to cheer him up. Anya was also curious how much the idea would cheer him up and in what way. Was there possibly jealousy involved or was that only part of Anya's wishful thinking that he might possibly see her as more than a friend?
"You know, if you told me about that hovel, I wouldn't have to bother Professor Nathaniel about it later," she said, gently nudging into his side so he'd look at her. She smiled up at him with her best 'how could you say no to that' sweet and adorable expression. "Pleeeease?"

Callum was not exactly shy but rather unsure, especially since the last thing he wanted was to destroy their friendship, for it meant more to him than anything in his life before. He didn't avert his gaze when their eyes met every once in a while, while they were still walking in silence, but he was surely nervous about this. Would they be talking about what had happened, or almost had happened, back there at the tree, or would they just pretend it had been nothing more than a game? No, it had been. Callum might not be the well-liked guy at school but was confident enough to see that there was something longing in her eyes too when Anya was looking back into his. Would the moment to bring it back up be gone for good if he didn't do so now? But how?
He was just going to say at least anything, although not sure what until words would come out when Anya was first to speak up again. Callum's lips were slowly closing again.
"You know, if you told me about that hovel, I wouldn't have to bother Professor Nathaniel about it later," He turned his head in her direction as he felt a gentle nudge in his side. This smile. Wait, was she purposefully using it to get what she wanted? Callum chuckled slightly, Professor Stupid completely forgotten all of a sudden before he stopped their steps. "Pleeeease?"
Callum came closer and placed his face at eye level with hers, for which he had to bend down a little. For a moment he was just enjoying looking at her playfully. "Damn, girl. Using your feminine wiles to make me talk?" He chuckled again, laughter lines forming around his cheeks. Well, she knew those weapons to use very well; at least they were working on him. But before he would talk, he would try to make use of his chance to pick up where they had left off or rather had been interrupted. Right now he wasn't even wasting one thought about the Professor still being somewhere behind or not. "Just go on and try.", Callum went on with a challenging smile.

"Damn, girl. Using your feminine wiles to make me talk?"
Anya chuckled along with him and fluttered her eyelashes with an exaggerated flourish.
"Just go on and try."
He wanted her to flirt with him. Out of fun or because he wanted more than friendship? Flirting was definitely fun, but assuming he'd forgotten the professor was close by, she was leaning toward it being the latter.
Giddy with the realization they might be wanting the same thing, Anya looked up at him and bit her bottom lip, trying not to smile but failing. With the professor somewhere close behind, it gave her an excuse to not follow through in the moment, making Anya feel bold. "Well," she said, speaking in a lowered voice full of promise and confidence, "I could kiss you senseless and have you telling me whatever I want to know." She stepped a little closer and let her eyes linger down to his lips, adding teasingly, "If only we weren't being watched." She brought her eyes back up to his. "Raincheck in exchange for information."

This sudden tension between them and the fact that their faces were only centimeters away from each other made Callum's heart beat faster. What would she say? What would she do? Should he just kiss her? No, he should at least wait for another reaction from her. But then again, this sudden look on her face - almost like the realization that they both might be wanting the same thing.
His eyes went down to her lips in an almost self-acting way when he saw her playfully biting her bottom lip. He loved how a smile was always escaping them while she tried to stay serious. There was actually not even one thing coming to his mind that he wouldn't love about her. Ever since he had accepted these feelings for her, it was almost a puzzle to him how he had been able to not realize them.
"Well,"
"Well?", Callum repeated with a mix of curiosity, expectation and amusement, while he didn't break the eye contact. Every now and then his were wandering down to her lips again though. They were so close. Were they already drawing closer to each other, or was that just imagination?
"I could kiss you senseless and have you telling me whatever I want to know."
As straightforward as this suddenly was, Callum didn't allow that fact to distract him and particularly not to duck out - quite the contrary. He was feeling the same, if not more, excitement and longing like before, when they had been pretended to just play a game. This was not a game. Surely not. When she came closer, his eyes lasted on her lips for longer this time, just as hers were watching his.
"If only we weren't being watched."
Being... As if in a sweet state of trance, Callum's eyes were wandering only slightly past her face, back to Professor Stupid. He wasn't focused enough on him though to tell if he really was watching or not, but so what? If they allowed him to stand between this twice, Callum knew this moment might never come back.
His eyes were wandering back to hers and at the same time hers back to his.
"Raincheck in exchange for information."
There was only a little moment of hesitation before Callum just took her face into his hands and kissed her, not bothering about her last words or about being watched or not. Shall this professor watch this and know that he could get it out of his head to try flirting with much younger students, especially with Anya. Anyways, these thoughts were quickly gone as he felt her lips kissing him back.

Anya was completely surprised when Callum's gloved hands took gentle hold of her face as he closed the small distance and kissed her. Her eyes immediately fluttered closed as her eyebrows momentarily raised in surprise. Callum never had much care for authority so it wasn't the fact that he was kissing her in front of a professor but that he was kissing her. Thoughts were swept away by the warmth of joy filling her from head to toe.
This was better than any daydream she'd had of this moment. All that practice stuff had obviously been an excuse to flirt for him as well. He definitely knew what he was doing. Feeling swoony and unsteady, Anya's hands raised to hold onto his upper arms as she kissed him back.
Forget all the wands and spells. This was real magic. She only wished they weren't wearing gloves so that she could feel his hands on her face and so she'd be able to feel his hair in her fingers if she ever became steady enough to release her hold on his arms to let her hands work their way up. She wished they had all the time in the world, but this field trip would end and they'd find themselves back at Hogwarts were it would be much harder to find private moments like this.
No, not private, her brain suddenly and reluctantly reminded her. Anya felt reality lift the haze enough to make herself reluctantly pull back. She felt herself blush as she ducked her head down and at a slight angle away from the Professor before looking back up at Callum, the flush of happiness mixing with the bit of shy embarrassment. She took his hands in hers, drawing from his courage and strength to help ease away the blushing. "I really wish we were alone," she said quietly.

Wow, at least Sonnyboy managed to finally give the girl a kiss. Not the worst time he had ever seen but far away from the best one. (Of course, the best one was his own unbroken record.)
But after a moment they moved apart. Anya obviously felt a bit uncomfortable, maybe because of him being still in their viewing range. And maybe it was the time to get much closer to them again and enter their ear-shot... "I really wish we were alone," "You should – but as I‘ve already said not here! So do me and yourselves a favor and finally get back to the others or at least nearer to them", he raised his voice but still spoke in his usual gentleman-like tone. He was sure that Callum would try to look daggers at him so he decided to ignore him for some moments. Although he knew that this would stir this boy's inner fire a lot more. Maybe that was the true reason why he acted this way… "I’m sure you two love-birds could find a nice place to get closer when you're back at Hogwarts." He grinned at Anya and added with a wink: "Oh, and if you find one I’ll be pleased if you could also show it to me…" He didn’t mention who would be the one(s?) he wanted to take with him. This words surely would put Callum’s composure to the proof. And that would arrouse his own amusement.

Callum wanted this moment to never end. He wanted to hold her face in his hands forever and to kiss her lips all day long. All imagination about kissing her ever since he'd accepted his feelings, had been nothing compared to what it actually was like. For a moment, he simply forgot everything around and that they were being watched until it was Anya who seemed to remind herself. Callum still didn't care about the professor, but, of course, he'd rather be alone with her to share this moment in private as well. Yet, he was glad that, this time, he had just done what his heart told him to do. Her kissing him back was enough to make this day perfect; actually, to make this the best day of his life.
"I really wish we were alone,"
Callum replied her shy smile with one of his own, maybe not that shy, but visibly not as comfortable as only seconds ago. He saw the approaching figure out from the corner of his eyes while they actually remained focused on Anya, almost like sending her a silent just ignore him. Unfortunately though, the professor didn't do the same.
"You should – but as I‘ve already said not here! So do me and yourselves a favor and finally get back to the others or at least nearer to them"
Callum had to check himself to not react to that in the way he wanted to. First, because he didn't want to leave from Anya's side, and second, because he didn't want to give the professor what he seemed to willingly provoke. And so, instead of anger, a sarcastic smile appeared on Callum's features.
"I’m sure you two love-birds could find a nice place to get closer when you're back at Hogwarts." When he saw a grin, aimed towards Anya, out from the corner of his eyes, Callum couldn't help but turn his attention to the professor, after all. "Oh, and if you find one I’ll be pleased if you could also show it to me…"
"Don't you think it's kind of misplaced for a professor to talk like this with his students?", he suddenly fired off a bit of his dislike, but, this time, in a less heated but more spiteful way. Callum had a temper but he also had been raised by a father who had always been good at spiteful remarks. "I'm not so sure what my father would think of that if it came to his ears." He never had been playing the daddy-card before, not like someone else he knew, and wasn't even proud of doing so right now, but, in this very moment, he was too happy to be angry yet at the same time spurred to put one over on this guy. If not for himself, then for Anya and also for all the future students who he would be trying to hit on. "Oh, and just in case that you don't know - he's one of the Governors of Hogwarts."

"You should – but as I‘ve already said not here! So do me and yourselves a favor and finally get back to the others or at least nearer to them"
Feeling another blush threatening, Anya reluctantly let go of Callum's hands and crossed her arms pretending to ward off the cold. She uncomfortably cleared her throat and looked away while Callum turned toward the professor. She shouldn't have taken a moment. If she was thinking clearly and not still thinking of that kiss and when and where they'd have an opportunity for another in a more private setting, she would have continued steering them back toward the shops. But it was too late for a smooth exit. The Professor took advantage of the lull for some more provocation, no doubt egged on by the daggers Anya could imagine Callum was visually throwing at him.
"I’m sure you two love-birds could find a nice place to get closer when you're back at Hogwarts."
Anya's head snapped back when his comment mirrored so close to what she was thinking. He grinned at her and winked and Anya felt yet another round of blushing hit her as she wondered if mind reading was a thing in the magical world.
"Oh, and if you find one I’ll be pleased if you could also show it to me…"
Anya's mouth fell open at his audacity. Was it possible to blush on top of a blush? Because if so, it was happening to her. This kind of attention from a worldly man such as him, a girl was hard pressed not to blush. Especially when she wasn't used to it. But she saw the professor's main goal was to provoke Callum. It might help to boost a girl's confidence in herself but it was hardly flattering when it was all a ruse and she were merely a tool.
"Don't you think it's kind of misplaced for a professor to talk like this with his students?"
Anya put a hand on Callum's arm. "Callum, it's no big deal," she said quietly but Callum was too caught up in his anger.
"I'm not so sure what my father would think of that if it came to his ears." "Oh, and just in case that you don't know - he's one of the Governors of Hogwarts."
Anya's eyebrows raised in surprise. He had to be far more affected than she'd anticipated to have actually brought up his father in a threat that would entail him having to be the one to seek out his father, to be the one to start a discussion on how they could work together to remedy this. It was oddly more flattering than the professor's more direct form of flattery via flirting.
"Callum," she said, speaking up this time and stepping forward, squeezing his arm to get his attention. "He doesn't mean anything by it. He's only saying those things to provoke you and you're giving him the satisfaction of being provoked." She'd intentionally said it for both their ears so that Callum could collect himself and so the professor would know that Anya and now Callum knew what his game was.
"Now," she began, taking his arm and guiding it over her shoulders as she stepped beside him while looping her arm around his waist. Their kiss confirmed that they were beyond the friendly arm looping phase and she very much liked the feeling of this more intimate hold. "Let's finally appease my curiosity on all this rage about Butterbeer." She started moving them forward again, discreetly shooting a disapproving look back at the man who followed. Professor or not, his antics warranted a disapproving look.

"Don't you think it's kind of misplaced for a professor to talk like this with his students?"
"Callum, it's no big deal,"
Yet again the boy showed his temper and the girl tried to calm him down and remedy the situation.
"I'm not so sure what my father would think of that if it came to his ears." "Oh, and just in case that you don't know - he's one of the Governors of Hogwarts." Oh wow, really? The daddy-card?! "Of course, I know, boy," was all he answered. He didn’t want to provoke him abundant. And again it was Anya who calmed down him a bit. "He doesn't mean anything by it. He's only saying those things to provoke you and you're giving him the satisfaction of being provoked." Although her words weren’t as useful as she might thought. However he had to admit that her words came near to the truth. But he didn’t interrupt her. This time it would probably better to keep silent for a moment.
Anya also wraped an arm around Callum’s waist. That was interesting. At first Nathaniel thought she was the shy one but obviously she got along quickly with their new situation. "Let's finally appease my curiosity on all this rage about Butterbeer." Finally they moved forward to leave this place. So his job was done here. He was aware of Anya’s disapproving look but he answered it only with one of his 'I can do this!'-smirks. "Have fun." And this time without any kind of provoking or something like that.
He had to admit that he liked these two and he hoped to see them both in one of his classes when he started to teach 'Defense against the dark Arts' the upcoming month. He also wished to have another drink but he decided to take it at home. Or in a bar far away from Hogsmeade. It wouldn’t be a good idea to also enter 'The three Broomsticks' again… So he waited some moments until he was sure that the couple really had left the place before he also stepped away…

Of course, Callum hadn't pushed that whole father-and-son process in his mind so far to complete it with the possibility to actually seek him out and work together. The general idea had been to threaten this professor in a way that would be efficient.
"Callum," There were still signs of anger on his face, but once he felt Anya's squeeze on his arm, his features softened a bit. "He doesn't mean anything by it. He's only saying those things to provoke you and you're giving him the satisfaction of being provoked."
Yah, he knew that, if there wouldn't be this damn pride in him, probably deeply ingrained in a Malfoy's genes. That was the main reason why he mostly blamed himself for that. Yet Anya somehow managed to calm him down every time it happened.
"Now," When she suddenly took his arm and guided it over her shoulders, Callum couldn't help but allow happiness to win over his pride. She was right. This guy wasn't worth it. He would hopefully never have to talk to him again. "Let's finally appease my curiosity on all this rage about Butterbeer."
Callum placed a kiss on her head before they started moving, leaving the wizard scum behind. Not without one last look that said mine over their shoulders though. And so they both didn't notice the look of the other, wandering over at the professor to signal him that he was very much unwanted right now.

*** Cami and Staffan enter from Hogsmeade - Honeydukes ***
"Did you zee their faces?! " Cami and Staffan flirted and laughed all the way through the outskirts of Hogsmede, even found some roadside entertainment on the way as they had gone off path and caught the tail end of a teacher scolding a couple of foolish looking students to get back to the village. Cami figured they were either caught trying to hop the fence, or trying to get a snog in while no one was looking. Smirking to herself, Cami knew that her and Staffan were sneakier than that to get caught red handed.
Nothing and no one around them except for the soft snow that cascaded the woodlands surrounding them and the whistling sound of the arctic wind passing through the branches, Cami and Staffan approached the barbed wire fence that boarded the area. The Shrieking Shack came into view, something that Cami had only read up on prior to visiting Hogwarts. It wasn't often that Cami went on vacations or explored the world beyond the Academy, so she wanted to make sure she mapped out every detail of Hogwarts and the sights to see.
"You zee zat creepy looking house over zere?" Cami's gloved hand dropped from Staffan's to point ahead at the landmark that grazed the snowy field before them, "Locals call zat ze Shrieking Shack. Apparently zome would go as far as to say it iz haunted...," Cami spoke in a rather daunting tone before turning to bring Staffan's perfect pair of eyes back into view, "Kind of freaky...but kind of romantic, iz it not?" Cami shuffled her feet lightly in the snow to shift her weight from one hip to another as she turned to fully face Staffan with a playful smirk.

"Did you zee their faces?!" He did see their face's and he was rather amused by the event. They were able to get past because the teacher was preoccupied with the others. "I did." Staffan smirked and pulled Cami closer as they walked along the woodlands, snow softly crunching beneath them.
"You zee zat creepy looking house over zere? Locals call zat ze Shrieking Shack. Apparently zome would go as far as to say it iz haunted..., Kind of freaky...but kind of romantic, iz it not?" Staffan could get lost in those eyes, he often did these days. "Ja," He nodded in agreement and pulled her in close, his hand going to her face.

Cami could feel the air electrifying around them as Staffan's magnetic pull stole her complete attention and brought her in close. Her cheek nuzzled into the palm of his hand, feeling the warmth rising from his skin and melting away the cold that had bit away at her face as they had galivanted through the wintry forest. The Prince's dazzling eyes tempted her closer as they got cozy, her thoughts grew madly intoxicated with his charm and she wanted nothing more than to kiss the lips before her. Cami's lips had halted just inches away from Staffan's before she made a startled noise.
"I almost completely forgot!" Cami exclaimed, a smile grew across her face as she stared at Staffan's curious brow that furrowed lightly in confusion, "Close your eyes, pretty boy," Cami instructed the Prince as a hand disappeared into her coat pocket, "And don't open zem until I say so. Are zey closed?" A smirk of amusement spread across Cami's face, yet she was nothing short of delighted.

***Anya enters from Hogsmeade - Outside the Shops***
Running as fast as she could toward the dilapidated shack with the storm swirling around her, Anya didn't notice the two who'd stolen away to this spot. As she neared the barbed wire surrounding the shack, she shot her hand out with the intention of physically pushing the askew post down in order to knock the barbed wiring low enough to the ground to step over it. Instead, a burst of wind flew forward, uprooting two of the posts and knocking them to the ground, giving her a clear path to easily cross and head straight to the shack without stopping.
Reaching the door, Anya frantically tried the handle but it wouldn't budge. She quickly pulled the gloves from her hands and let them fall to the ground. Burn mark runes on her palms now unhindered, she was able to easily bypass the strong lock charm that had kept most others from being able to enter.
Anya rushed in and shut it behind her, hearing the whoosh of the lock charm fall back into place. But now what? She couldn't stay here. She could still hear the wind cycling around the shack, could feel it through the cracks of the old building. The storm wasn't stopping, even though she locked herself away from people. The fear still remained and that fear continued to feed it. It was the fear of those Ministry people taking her away and staying in this shack, she was a sitting duck.
She swiped the tears away with the back of her hand again and tried to get herself together. A low howling sound caught her attention. It sounded like air traveling through a misplaced opening and suddenly, Anya remembered hearing students talking about an old, haunted shack with a secret tunnel that lead to... somewhere. She couldn't recall the details but it didn't matter. Whatever got her away. Taking in the state of the place with its peeling paint and furnishing that looked as if it had been attacked by something with large claws, she gathered this had to be the place.
Anya rushed toward the sound, pushing aside a large wooden board haphazardly covering the gap in the wall that led downward into the dirt. Without hesitation, Anya began to crawl on shaky limbs, swiping at roots and cobwebs in her way, too emotionally distraught at cringing over the latter or to care about the dirt collecting on her clothes, on her hands, and in her hair.
She was beginning to see the grey light of the storm that seemed to follow her on the other side of the tunnel.

*** Nathaniel enters from Hogsmeade, Outside the Shops ***
It was easy to follow Anya without being noticed because she was caught in her own world and fears. He wasn't surprised much that she had chosen the way to the Shrieking Shack.
He also noticed two other students. At least they were the reason why he decided not to follow Anya when she started to enter the shack. And he also turned around and stepped back because he didn't want to have a second round of 'being a good teacher and telling the kids what they have do do or don't'.
It was time to leave Hogsmeade for him - and time to search for information about the Shreaking Shack.

Cami knew that after today, it would be nothing more than sportsmanship banter and casual glances in each other's direction that they would be sharing. Wearing her heart on her sleeve, Coco wasn't here to reel her back in. She allowed herself to bleed for this Prince wholeheartedly without batting an eye or wondering if he would do the same for her. Bursting with excitement as Staffan sweetly closed his eyelids for her, she rustled around in her pocket for her promise to him - that no matter what happened or who won, that in the end this handsome boy would still have won the greatest prize of all. Her unapologetically devoted heart.
She had only managed to withdraw her closed hand from her pocket halfway before the wind suddenly began to howl. The speed of the falling snow lashed at their cheeks as a storm began to brew through the creaking, ancient trees of the forest. The two kids attempted to shield their faces, yet the wind was so strong that it nearly blew them off of their feet. Cami's eyes widened as she caught a figure rustling near them and let out an audible gasp. Tearing her eyes away from the figure and up at Staffan who was equally as flustered and as confused, she didn't want to even discover what else was lurking around in this freaky forest.
"Time to go," Cami spoke rather shortly in her fright, as she was afraid that she might have spoken whatever haunts that resided in this part of the village into angry motion. Grabbing Staffan's hand, Cami pulled him through the storm. As they got farther from the Shack, the wind appeared to become less and less until it finally died down.
"Did you say you had something for me?" Staffan reminded Cami as their arms were linked, walking back into the main village outskirts.
"Yes," Cami replied as she continued to smile forward. The moment had come and gone, and she was sure that it would come again. And if it didn't come before the Tournament, then she could only hope that he would still be open to receiving her gift after all was said and done. As they approached the village, Cami turned to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Just a little something for you to remember me by...," Looking up into his eyes that gracefully peered down into hers, Cami was a little emotional as she was about to depart from the Prince. Relishing in this last sweet moment with Staffan before they become opponents, Cami shook off any sort of feelings that began to bubble to the top and transitioned back into her confident self, "...Wait for me after I win." Facing Staffan, she began to walk backwards as her fingers slid through his until they touched no more. Cami figured she had tortured herself long enough and walking into the village, she finally turned her back on the Prince.

About one and a half hour later when the students and Ministry had left Hogsmeade and the Surroundings
He had been very nearly back at his penthouse when Nathaniel suddenly got a vision. As usually it wasn't clear. It showed him chaotic pictures instead. But there was one thing that aroused his memories. He had seen himself holding a pair of gloves in his hand - gloves that obviously wasn't his own. Absolutely not his style! But he remembered that he had already seen someone else wearing them: Anya. He knew that he won't be able to solve the mystery of this girl but he knew that he could pore over books later. His inner voice told him to get back to Hogsmeade. It wasn't by chance that he had this vision now. So Nathaniel reversed and made his way back to the scene of event. The students and the people from the Ministry had left this place meanwhile. Nathaniel wasn't sore about that fact. If anything he was glad so that there was nobody who would try to ask him annoying questions. First he thought about entering the Broomsticks Inn to get a drink but then he decided otherwise. Maybe it would be better to have no witnesses that he was here again... The first point of call was the Shrieking Shack. The place where Anya last had been seen. Of course, Nathaniel had no evidences for that thought but he was pretty sure that the girl hadn't go back to the others after she entered the shack. When he came closer he suddenly spotted something on the snowy ground. It was apair of gloves - that pair of gloves! His vision was right. Or at least he had come to one important conclusion it had tried to tell him. He took the gloves and hold them in his hand for a moment. This was exactly the picture he had seen before in his mind. Then he put them in his jacket pocket. Maybe this would be a good chance to start a little conversation with Miss Novak later when they would have met at Hogwarts... He asked himself why she had thrown them away. Normally there had been no need for that. So she obviously had did it because her mind might still was full of fears and so on. Nathaniel took a look at the entrance. There was a lock charm, a strong one. Certainly not strong enough for him. But he remembered that he had seen Anya entering the shack when he had arrived at this place the first time. So she had been able to bypass it. "Ah, Miss Novak - you're surprising me more and more...", he spoke out his thoughts. That was a sure sign that he started to be interested in her. (First of all in her powers, of course.) He also used his magic to be able to bypass the charm and entered the shack. It was all dusty and stuffy. "My sweet little girl, you really should reconsider your choice of places," he mubled while he screwed up his nose. "Lumos!" Suddenly a little light floated next to him and illuminated the surrounding. (Nathaniel had mastered to perform his magic without his wand. Sometimes it was much more practical to have both of your hands while you were still using some spells.) He now could see imprints of shoes in the dust on the ground. The girl had left a track. His eyes went down to notice that he also had left new traces. But he still stood just at the entrance and so it wouldn't be that sure that there had been another person. He decided to not follow Anya. Wherever this way might have lead her he couldn't be sure that he will find her at the end of this way. It had been over an hour since she had used this path. So Nathaniel decided to leave this place. But he also intended to visit Hogwarts tomorrow to speak to some of the teachers - or in the best case to Anya herself. He wa sure someone would be able to tell him more about todays happenings. But now it was time to finally went back home and to open a good (and expensive!) drop. *** Nathaniel finally leaves Hogsmeade to get back home ***
