Accio.

[The spell is cast effortlessly, and the book that he wants is in his hand in moments. Mituna smiles to himself - an expression that's almost a smirk - and opens it. He's been sat there for a while now, outside under a tree near the lake, practicing magic far too advanced for someone of his age.

Anyone who had been watching him would have already witnessed him casting spells such as Incendio and Alarte Ascendare, and at one point there had been a small, bumblebee-shaped patronus flitting about him. For anyone being affected by the strange happenings in the castle, this may not be such an odd sight. For those who aren't.. well, Mituna hasn't been capable of such things for over two years.

The boy lifts his wand confidently, and with a small flick of his wrist, freezes a leaf in mid-air as it drifts by his face.]


[[ooc: this event, Mituna was still tortured, but it didn't break him. In fact it only fuelled his desire to learn more, to advance as far as he could. He was already taking advanced classes in his third year, and he continued them.]]

1/4 haha

[The Quidditch practice was tiring for someone who wasn't used to it, especially when it was so cold. It was still new for her to be in an actual Quidditch team after being so independent on making her own practice for so long - but it was an experience she was loving so far. And it made her feel better to know she was trying her best not only for herself anymore, but for her own house as well.

When she is about to leave the grounds to go to the common room, she catches Mituna under a tree in a glance. Her immediate thought was that he forgot what was the common's room password again, so he was probably killing time, but once she witnesses him casting perfect spells, she simply freezes.

What?]

2/4 omg

[latulamatata]

4/4

[latulamatata]

[Okay, give her a moment to think straight. She has to be sure of what was going on. She had to test it.

Slowly and carefully, she starts to approach Mituna from behind, trying to make as less noise as possible. When she is close enough, the red haired girl whispers a "Boo" from behind him, while immediately getting ready to defend herself with her arms covering her face.]

[helmetdoesnothing]

[The whisper by his ear does make him twitch, but he's certainly not even close to freaking out. He looks over his shoulder, grins cockily, and winks at her.]

Hey, babe. What's up?

1/2 i will never get sick of these

[latulamatata]

[Oh my God, he wasn't even close to freak out.

She was almost speechless - She had no idea how to react to that. He was completely recovered. Cured. No problem. At all. Everything's alright. She can feel her chest tightening at facing this. It was completely unexpected.

Covering her mouth with her hands, she looks at him with her eyes getting teary. She was still processing that kind of... "miracle" in her mind.]

Mituna...

2/2

[latulamatata]

[There's a sudden embrace. She was trying her best to hold her tears, but she missed him so much. She needed him to be like that for so long, and she spent all this time hating herself for not being able to do anything against it.

And now he was there. Like nothing ever happened. And she didn't want to cry for being sad and holding these feelings for so long - She wanted to cry because she was happy.]

I'm sorry, MT... I'm so, so sorry...

[helmetdoesnothing]

[It's unexpected enough that he loses his balance and drops onto his back with her held securely in his arms. He makes a sound as if he's about to laugh, then he hears the tone in her voice and shifts a bit to brush her hair back off her face.]

What?

[He frowns, a bit uncertainly.]

What are you sorry for?

[latulamatata]

[The girl kept herself in silence for a couple of seconds before making a long sigh and facing him again, with her face close to his. A little smile cracks in the corner of her mouth.]

Nothing. I'm just really happy to see you. [She gives him a smooch.] I missed you.

[helmetdoesnothing]

Heh.

[He smiles back, wrapping his arms tight around her and shifting her so they're side-by-side. Lightly, he bumps the tip of his nose against hers and taps his fingers idly against her hip.]

You saw me this morning, what's there been to miss?

[latulamatata]

A lot can happen between morning and afternoon.

[And she actually means it. Sorry Mituna, but she doesn't want to ruin the little time she'll have to be with you completely recovered.
She has in mind she is actually going to suffer after that, when he gets back to normal, but the entire school was weird and she wanted to take this opportunity as well.]

It's like I haven't been with you for years! And you know I want to be with my super rad boyfriend as much as possible, because all the time of the world is not enough time for the all time I want to spend with you.

[She smirks, kissing his lips once again.]

Yeah, I know that was lame, but who cares? I'm in the mood for that.

[helmetdoesnothing]

Tch.. you know you don't have to pull all that fucking rad-girl bullshit with me, Latula.

[He brushes a lock of her hair back behind her ear.]

I already love you.

[accioleggings]

[Oh no, did Mituna get locked out of Ravenclaw tower again? Strange that he'd come outside though and not be sitting outside the door. Wait- is that a patronus? When did Mituna learn how to make a patronus? Even before what had happened he'd been too young to learn that spell.]

What're you reading, 'Tu?

[helmetdoesnothing]

[Mituna smiles when he hears Sal approaching, shifting slightly and leaning back. He lifts up the book to show off the title. Theories of Transubstantial Transfiguration.]

Hey Sal.

[His lisp is still there, but it's barely noticeable.]

Just a bit of light reading.
