trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
they’re was a girl standing near the black lake, she looks pretty, she has light pink hair and light blue eyes, she wears a white shirt with a school skirt, she has a gold watch that was given to her for her 7th birthday “harry potter..” she looks at him
smiles warmly, trying to hide his nervousness. "Hi! I mean, hello! Who are you? Are you new here? I've never seen you before."
“my name is gemma” she smiles
genuinely delighted "Nice to meet you, Gemma! So, what brings you to this place?"
she rolls her eyes “just getting away from people”
nods understandingly "Yeah, I get it. Sometimes you just need some alone time to clear your head, right?"
takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage "Hey, Gemma, can I ask you something?"
takes a step closer, his stutter becoming more pronounced "Um, th-there's something...something different about you.
takes a deep breath, trying to find the right words "I mean, you're so beautiful and...and mysterious. It's like you don't belong here.
blushes deeply, his cheeks turning red "Wait, what I meant to say is... um, have you...have you always been...you know, different? Special?"
“no.. it just happened after my parents died..”
pauses for a moment, his expression softening with sympathy "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, Gemma. That must have been really tough for you."
“yeah but it made me stronger..”
gently reaches out and places a hand on Gemma's shoulder "I can see that. You're incredibly strong, and I admire you for that."
she smiles softly “thank you..”
grinning with excitement "Hey, Gemma, you know what? Maybe we could hang out sometime. Explore the Black Lake together, maybe?
she smiles “sure! next week?”
squeals with delight "Great! We'll meet right here at the same time next week. And maybe we can bring some snacks and enjoy a picnic too!"
quickly takes out a small notebook and pen from his pocket, flipping through the pages "Alright, let's exchange phone numbers so we won't have any trouble remembering where and when to meet."
The next week, Harry and Gemma meet at the Black Lake for their scheduled meeting, but unfortunately, it starts pouring rain, forcing them to cancel their plans and reschedule for another day.
it’s raining, she has an umbrella, she looks at her phone “where is potter..?”
running towards Gemma, sheltering under her umbrella "Hey, sorry I'm late! The rain is insane!"
grinning mischievously "I know, I know, I should have brought my own umbrella! But who needs an umbrella when you've got a friend as amazing as you, right?"
playfully pats himself on the back "See, Gemma? I told you I was smart! Now, let's make the best of this rainy day.
pulls out a backpack from his dormitory "I've got a surprise for you! I packed some towels and blankets in here. Let's go inside the Black Lake and have a cozy picnic!
she giggles “a picnic in the middle of the black lake? how is that possible?”
winks playfully "Well, Gemma, I've got a little trick up my sleeve. Watch this!"
takes out a magical wand from his pocket and waves it, enchanting the Black Lake "Mischief managed!" the water level rises and forms a small island in the middle of the lake
she smiles “wow.. how did you do that..?”
grinning proudly "It's a special enchantment I learned from Professor Flitwick. He calls it the 'Mysterious Mere' charm.
rushes towards the newly formed island, setting up a small picnic blanket "Come on, Gemma! Let's make this the best picnic ever!"
she walks across the lake, it’s hard to keep her balance, she finally makes it
noticing Gemma's struggle, rushes to help her maintain her balance "Here, let me give you a hand.
helps Gemma sit down on the picnic blanket "There we go. Alright, now let's unpack the goodies I brought. We have sandwiches, fruits, and even some chocolate cake!"
