Closed Reunion! PV: CLAAAIIIRRR!!!!

29 June 2024

"Goooo Caileann!! Ye've got this lad!" Liam's voice rang out as the twins barrelled through the entrance hall and out through the formerly peaceful courtyard! The incident with poor firsties and their books was now long forgotten as Colin tracked down one particular third year --- and Best Girl in All Ravenclaw! He wondered if this were a wolfy thing, or was this just something a boy could do? They must have looked absolutely barking, Colin and Liam, as they crisscrossed the courtyard, as if looking for something. Or perhaps playing one of their mad games!

But this was no mere game! The Liche King and the Shadow Lord were nowhere to be seen! Surely Colin's love for Clair had sent them fleeing out into the Void! No, not even Tommy Riddlekins himself could stop Colin as he charged through the high stone archway that out to the grounds beyond the courtyard!

"OwoooOOOoOOooO!" Colin called out. Now out on the grounds, with no inconveniently placed little Hufflepuffs or Gryffindors in the way, the twins could run flat out across the grass! Colin dug his toes into the grass and darted off to the left, towards the quidditch pitch. "NOOO! She didn't go this way!" cried Colin.

The twins turned and back up towards the herb gardens, their feet pounding on the earth as they went! Liam shoved his hip into Colin's, sending him sprawling to one side. "Try over there lad!" Colin nearly lost his balance, and his concentration! He found himself trying not to pitch out of control! He twisted his body about, seeking to maintain its balance!

"Oi! You want to set me on fire! Those were dirigible plums, those were!" cried Colin. Liam laughed at his brother. After a moment Colin changed course again! He caught Clair's faint scent! She'd been this way recently! "Apples and books and ink! Crisp fall air! This way!"

"That's my lad! I know who that is!" Liam followed after Colin as he ran full speed!

"YEEP! There she is Liam!" Colin cried out joyfully, putting on a burst of speed! Long dark brown hair, gorgeous sky blue eyes! "OwoooOOOooOOoo!! CLAAAIIIRRR!!!" As the distance closed, Colin leapt for joy, then tumbled to the ground, rolling over and over until he came to rest at last, about a foot away from Clair as she was sitting in the grass.

His heart was pounding and his hair was a mess, with bits of grass and flowers sticking out here and there. His open white shirt revealed the wolf and moon she had traced there earlier in the year. The sign of their wonderful connection in magic! He sat up, facing the girl. He stared into her eyes and gave her a smile, showing her all his fangs! "I found you lassie!" His smile briefly turned into a frown as he remembered how very long it had been since they'd last seen each other. He sighed, and smiled. "I wish this were a couple months ago Clair! it's been too long!"
