Ace strolled along the lake with Beth until the arrived at the pitch, it had been the first time he had visited the pitch this year. “You know Beth; I’m going to miss this once we graduate.” He dug his sneakers into the ground and leered across the field, only to find a desolated area inhabited by the normal cheers and claps from the students rushing in
His hands had relieved themselves of pain, perhaps it was the memories of Quidditch that subdued the pain or it was actually emotional pain dug deeper then physical. They stood their silent, neither wanted to say anything at the time, placing his arm around her shoulders huddling in the cool breeze and drizzling rain. He figured if either of them wanted to stop the rain from pouncing on their heads a simple flick of the wand would make a invisible barrier around their heads.

Beth smiled at him as he put his arm around her shoulders, she was happy that he was OK and able to be out and about. When she heard the news of what happened to him and Aria she flipped out and almost had a heart attack. She still felt bad cause she hadn't been there but she was almost over that now.
"I'm gonna miss all of this too when we graduate, you know what i was thinking about the other day. All of our years here feel like they are going by really fast. It seems like only yesterday we met for the first time and you had run into me and knocked me down " she laughed remembering every part of their first meeting. "Do you remember that?" she asked still laughing

Of course he remember that, it was their improve introduction that started a fantastic friendship. “Of course Beth …” He brought her into him closer, warmth between them was soothing it felt nice “I wish we had an umbrella, I swear it wasn’t going to rain today.” He gave a little chuckle before pulling out his wand, it was still hard to grasp it firmly but he managed
A flick later, the water was falling but something was a impediment that prevented the rain from falling down on them, it was a nice comfort not to have rain filling their robes. Their robes remained soaked, the cotton twill seemed to soak up the saturation quite well, and of course not as well as his quidditch garb but it was worth the time spent with Beth.
“I like spending time with you Beth; you know you have always made me feel at home as if it was ok to strike up a silly conversation with you. Beth, you have been a fantastic friend, I marvel at it sometimes you know. Just sitting in the common rooms thinking about how I wish I had more friends with a tenth of care you have. Whatever may happen Beth, we will stick together for life.” He had to wipe away a few of the tears now forming in his eyes it was the truth

Tears slid down her cheeks as she listened to him talk.He truly was the best friend she had ever had and his words touched her more then anything else ever had. She had never needed any other friend but Ace, he was always there for her when she needed him and she loved him for that.
"I like spending time with you too Ace, you know when i first met you i knew the second you spoke to me we would become great friends but i never thought we'd become best friends like we are now, but i I'm really glad we did.Every time i think about All the great times we've had and all the silly stuff we've done it makes me feel as if Ive found the greatest friend of all" she said smiling at him as a couple more tears streamed down her face.
"I hope everyone in this world has the opportunity to have a wonderful friend like you at some point in their lives, oh and believe me we will definitely be friends for the rest of our lives" she laughed wrapping her arms around him and hugging him tight.

“Watch the hands, watch the hands …” He began to laugh holding his hands out from her “I love you so much Beth …” He stopped for a moment, concluded his mental though and began again “But … I have to tell you something.” He stood there and broke apart and motioned her towards the castle

Beth laughed as he held his hands away from her. She looked at him and half smiled.When he moved away from her and began to talk she knew instantly what he was about to tell her. As she began to walk with him , she kept her eyes on the ground the whole time .
"Ace i love you too , and i already know what your about to say . To me its kind of obvious but that could be just because i know you so well... Your gay right?" she said looking from the ground to him.

"Erm...Am I interrupting?" Louis ask tentatively. The girl and the boy was having, he thought a serious or maybe plain conversation. He slap his mental consciousness. I shouldn't have said anything, just walk away, he thought, grimaced at the boy and girl, who was Ace Clearwater and the headmistress daughter, Beth Lilac.  "I'll just be leaving now," he said, looking at them cautiously, his foot one step ahead. They might even pull out their wands and jinx him, the thought of that made him grin slightly.

"No, no you've not interrupted anything of great importance, though you happened upon us at the exact moment of an outing. Perhaps your timing was off, yes, yes I believe so." He strolled through his words; he lingered over them for awhile it seemed it kept himself aback from divulging all his secrets to the stranger
“A wild guess, but from your robes I’d say you’re a Gryffindor, and furthermore I’d say your last name would perhaps be Aldazor, though I’ve never been one with the art of Divination.” He let out a small chuckle to himself before staring past the Gryffindor through him out across the lake
“… no, never been one for that.” He always hoped it would’ve been a skill he could add to his already impressive career as a quidditch seeker. His mother from his earliest of memories before her tragic death would float through the cards, and chart the stars every night it had seemed. Perhaps in reality it was a simple muse for her, but Ace wanted to believe it was true, that you can really tell your future through the stars and tea leaves.

Beth stood there waiting for Ace to answer her when she turned her head to look at the boy that had walked up to them. She smiled at him as she began to speak
"Its ok we were done talking i guess" she said looking back at Ace before she looked back at Louis "No really its ok don't go, I'm Beth Lilac" she said extending her hand out to him for him to shake.

“I never found it to be obvious Beth, perhaps with the quidditch I thought that had hid it all this time. I guess I was wrong to assume that.” They continued to walk, now proceeding past the lake and creeping against the castle’s shadow. The rain still drizzled, and the skies have subsided in the darkness only slightly, Ace was still hoping for a pleasant day. The Gryffindor had followed them closely behind, not making any mention to his two guests. Perhaps Ace thought the boy was shy, strange, yet inquisitive enough to happen upon them and strike conversation.
"How your mother, Beth, she has been looking troubled lately and while I'd so love to blame that on the weather I doubt that is the reason?" They didn’t halt their feet, no, they kept moving and their conversation found itself interwoven with the wind, conceding together each holding their own place in the world. The wind danced around them, it seemed to tease them with every plodding of their feet, and the rain had soaked the ground leaving but only a muddy trail.

Beth walked with Ace listening to everything he said. Her assumption had been correct and she was happy that he had finally told her , but at the same time she was kind of sad.
"I think it was only obvious to me because Ive known you so long, and even i had my doubts that it could be true. Why do you think i never asked you about it or anything? I didn't want to offend you." She said walking next to him , the gryffindor followed behind them and she wondered if he was actually listening to what they were saying or if he was just following behind.
"My mother trys her best to keep things from me even though i find out anyway. She is being bombarded with letters and notices about handing Hogwarts over to the Ministry. She's afraid for the sake of the students and she doesn't think she can do it all by herself. She really misses Verto very much but she trys to hide that from me and everyone else as well."
Beth said playing with a stand of damp hair . "She is more stressed out now then i think Ive ever seen her , its only a matter of time though before the ministry comes back to "finish her off " as she puts it. I'M worried for my mothers life, i really am." she said letting the strand of hair fall back to her shoulder as she kept walking.

He felt somber, he could not think of something that would shine a positive prospective upon the grim situation. In all truth it was but a moment away when the ministry comes back, it had been only hour since their recent attempt and only time would tell when another attempt would be made.
“Don’t worry Beth, I’ve known your mother and she is one hell of a charmer and transfiguration teacher, she won’t let them take over the school without one bloody hell of a fight. We have the new potions teacher, although he is a bit peculiar he seems quite talented with a wand. Though I feel a bit like your mother, I wish Alexander would return.”
Pulling his fingers through his wet hair, he placed a bandaged hand around her shoulders and they continued to walk

Beth just nodded as she continued to walk. " I have all the confidence in the world in my mother. I know shes gonna come through this just fine and keep Hogwarts going strong but the ministry is going way to far this time." She said looking over at him, Still hearing the Gryffindor behind them.
"I don't understand why they just wont give up and leave her alone. I along with you both , wish Verto would come back . My mother just hasn't been the same without him here maybe if he came back she'd go back to the way she used to be" She stated hoping she was right but she had a feeling that Verto was never coming back and that saddened her extremely.
When Beth first met Verto when she first started school she hated him. She thought he was a prick and he was disrespectful to the teachers. But as the years went on he got alot better and she looked up to him almost as much as she looked up to her mother and now he was gone and no one had heard anything from him in months. Beth shook her head to get the memories out of her mind before she looked back at Ace and half smiled.

He watched them closely, keeping distance. He tried to distract himself from their conversation, but curiosity got the better of him. From what he heard, Ace was trying to cover something up. Surprisingly, Louis wasn't all that interested as a twinge of pain went through his left hand. He dismissed it as it usually happens when he clenches his fist, it was also the reason he didn't try-out for quidditch. His hand couldn't bare excessive pressure. When the name Verto was mentioned he looked up and hurried alongside them. "Have you any idea where Verto is?"He ask unexpectedly.

The boy was eccentric and abrupt in manner; Ace had little time to blurt out that "No of course we don't know where he could be, haven’t the foggiest.” He spoke quickly, not taking his eyes away from Beth “I have my full faith in your mother as well Beth, but she can only do so many spells to protect this school. This school means the world to me, and I don’t … I just don’t know what I would do without Hogwarts.” His demeanor became melancholic, the rain still was steadfast and all he could think of was Her and Hogwarts, not the Gryffindor boy behind them tagging along

The boys sudden outburst of speech made Beth turn around and face him . She had almost completely forgotten he was there. "No , nobody knows where verto is . He could be anywhere in the world by now " she said shrugging as she turned back to look at Ace. "I understand that Ace, but my mother wont stop fighting until she knows this school and everyone in it is safe. Shes very adamant about this, nothing stops her from doing what she thinks is right. I back her up one hundred percent but like you said theres only so much she can do." She smiled at him and then ran her hands threw her wet hair.
" Hogwarts is everything to me as well, its like the only place that Ive ever really called home and the thought of it being destroyed or taken over is extremely frightening. I pray that this ends sooner rather then later and i have a feeling that things are going to work out for the best and that the ministry is definitely going to lose" she nodded her head and then stopped looking back at Ace. "I hope anyways" She added laughing .
It was still raining but it had eased up a little bit.
