Chapter 35.
╚═══════✧₊∘╝
  It's only a quick floo-flame trip to the village of Cragcroft, a small wizarding village that don't really allow muggles to enter. So it's perfect for them to spend a little time out in the magical world without someone trying to kill them.
  Theodore is casually leaning against the fence entrance to the village, waiting for the others to arrive, puffing on a small cigarette to keep him warm. 
  "Dude, you're smoking now?" Artemis asks, the tone of disgust at the horrible habit is blatant. 
  "Would you rather put something else in my mouth?" Theodore offers back causally and without a hint of social shame at his comment. 
  "Nah, mate, she only does that with Mattheo" Lorenzo chuckles, then he dives on Theodore and gives him a big hug. 
  "Riddle finally got some..." Theodore chuckles. "Now we just need to get you plowing" Theodore jabs Lorenzo in his side. 
  "Dude, I'm here with a date" Lorenzo warns him, pointing over to Hera, who feels a little embarrassed that everyone is looking at her now. 
  "Sorry" Theodore mumbles an apology. 
  "The day is still early yet. Come" Hera sings to Lorenzo, taking him by the hand and leading him into the village. 
  "They wouldn't. Not here" Frey gasps. 
  "He had better not. Hera is only barely 16!" Artemis shouts a warning after the young couple, she only gets a middle finger in return from Lorenzo.
  "16 is legal if the other partner is under 18" Tom decides to finally speak, keeping quiet through the whole situation, but choosing to speak just to add worry to Artemis' nightmares. 
  "Oh?" Artemis asks, giving him a warning glance. 
  "The law is the law, Little Bird" Tom shrugs back. "This is boring. These people are boring. Can we do something mildly entertaining?" Tom asks of Artemis. 
  "Don't be clever" Artemis laughs to him. "Let see if there is something violent that you can watch" Artemis tells Tom, knowing that he would like to see that. 
  "That sounds more like it" Tom responds in the affirmative. Artemis links her arm with Tom's and they head into the village. 
  Theodore points at them as they walk in. "Are they on a date? The same day that she took Mattheo's virginity?" Theodore asks of Frey. 
  "They aren't on a date" Frey cringes at the idea of her best friend dating such a boy. "She's making sure that he has a nice birthday, and that he isn't just locked up in his room with a book all day" Frey informs Theodore. 
  "Why?" He asks. "Then he's out of everyone's way and we can have fun" Theodore sees the more selfish side of Tom having a crappy birthday. 
  "Don't be so selfish, Theodore Nott" Frey laughs at the boy in surprise. "Come on, you can tell me all about your Christmas" Frey tells the boy. Neither Luca nor Iris could be here today, so the two of them will have a friend date today.
