!1997: 10, !incomplete, ernie macmillan, kinsey moon

Who: Kinsey Moon and Ernie MacMillan
When: Wednesday Evening, just before curfew
Where: Out on the grounds, near the lake
What: Kinsey and Ernie are out on the grounds when they see a mysterious cloaked figure
Rating: PGish? Maybe PG 13 for language?
Status: In Progress

It was Wednesday night, and Kinsey was restless. Her foot would not stop tapping itself, and her brain would not stay on one subject for more than five minutes at a time, which wasn't exactly helpful when one was trying to do homework.

Stashing her books up on her bed, she quickly changed and made her way out to her one release: the pitch.

After about an hour of zooming about, her head was still swimming. So, of course, she thought of one final idea that would most definitely clear her head: a swim. In the Black Lake. Of course, for normal people, swimming in a lake when it was only 10 degrees Celsius out is not necessarily a good idea. But Kinsey was a witch, and that afforded her some comforts in the form of warming charms.

Then again, the point was to clear her head, and a warm dip wasn't exactly going to do the trick. So, sans warming charms it was.

Stripping down to just her skivvies, she ran and jumped into the lake, almost inhaling the cold water as she did so.

"Feck, it's cold!" She screamed, laughing. Sure, it was cold, but it did the trick, her mind was clear. After a few more moments, she came out of the lake, thankful that she didn't have the Giant Squid to worry about anymore.

Just as she was getting the rest of her clothes on, she saw someone coming towards her.

"Shite..." She said under her breath, in case it was a professor. Then she got out her wand, in case it was some Slytherin Prefect.

Neither a professor nor a Slytherin prefect, Ernie was doing an early sweep of the grounds to make sure everyone had plenty of time to get in before curfew. He figured that if he did an excellent job of his duties and didn't break anymore rules then he might be a decent Head Boy after all.

Near the end of his route, by the lake, he spotted a figure re-dressing. He waited for a moment to allow them time to be presentable, before approaching. "You know it's almost time for curfew? You should be getting back to the castle."

As he got a bit closer in the dimming light, he recognised the figure. "Oh, Kinsey, good to see you. Late night swim?"

As the figure approached, she recognized that it was a student, and better yet, one of her own house.

"Ernie!" She exclaimed. "Bloody glad that it's you and not some git," she smiled, lowering her wand. She nodded to his question. "Yeah, thought that a bit of cold water might help clear my mind," she grinned.

She quickly performed a drying charm on her hair, the charm leaving it sticking up here and there.

"And yeah, I know, curfew shmurfew. Haven't they heard that I'm not a minor anymore?" She joked.

Ernie smiled. "Did it work?" Her happiness was definitely a nice change to the stress of most of the others, and fortunately, it cheered him up a bit too.

He raised an eyebrow at her 'curfew shmurfew' joke though. He didn't really understand the context, but the tone was clear enough to get the point across. "We all have to follow the rules, of age or not. Even I have to follow curfew if I don't have a Head Boy reason."

And as he wasn't going to have a good reason if he was out late, he knew he needed to go back. And as he'd promised himself he wasn't going to break anyt more rules, that meant he would. He bagan to head off in the direction of the castle, before turning back to see where Kinsey was. "You coming?" he asked.
