Jon flashed through the last week, uncomfortable dinners and heart-eyes at Gabe, and said hesitantly, "Uh, Shane? I don't think that's a very good idea-" Just then a black blur knocked into Tilly, sending her down to the ground and the cupcake flying.
He had about half a second to be annoyed at being interrupted again, before Tilly gave a high-pitched squeal. Drawing his wand, Jon hurled a Stupify. The spell hit and the thing rolled away, coming up a second later. Jon tried to get a good look at it, throwing another stunning spell, but it seemed to be shrouded. He could see it, but couldn't clearly discern any actual features. And it just felt wrong.
