A midnight Swim

Nikki was awake all night and couldn't go to sleep and had too much on her mind. She growled to herself and got out of the castle and made her way to the lake. She was wearing long yellow pyjama pants with blue slippers but a black singlet top and her hair was suprisingly still straigtened. She saw someone swimming and thought that person was absolutely crazy. She walked near the lake and saw that it was Harry. What're you doing, committing suicide!? Nikki asked, concerned for Harry's health. It's absolutely freezing! Nikki admitted, though she was always cold and was getting harder for her to tell the difference when it was cold or whether it was only her. She missed Harry so much - she wanted to hug him, hold him, kiss him and talk to him and tell him how much he means to her, but wasn't sure how he felt about her and could only keep these feelings bottled inside of her until he made the first move, that was just how things Nikki thinks it should go.

Harry kept himself afloat on the surface of the water, when suddenly he heard a familiar voice from across the water behind him. He swam into a vertical position and turned around to the source of the voice. To his dismay, he saw Nikki standing by the lake. His heart beated against his heart as he saw her beauty in the moonlight, she was so beautiful he wasn't even sure if he was dreaming or not. "What?" he rose an eyebrows at her. "No! - I would never do that," he laughed when she said was he commiting suicide, it freezing cold. "Why would I do that especially when someone beautiful as you are is talking to me," he smiled, warmly at her and at the same time in a flirtatious way.

Nikki bit her lips, blushed bright red and giggled. Oh thanks, you're sweet. Nikki smiled. Nikki walked closer to the lake and kneeled. But seriously, I hope you know what you're doing, cause I don't like this at all... Nikki said as she shook her head and looked at him sadly. Nikki wanted to swim with him, but that'd be encouraging him and she didn't want him to get sick, or freeze to death! So, how have you been? Nikki asked, curiously. I mean, I haven't seen you, around.. Nikki shrugged. That made her a bit sad, not seeing a guy she liked for a long time, it concerned her.

"Only to you," said Harry smiling back at her and slowly swam closer to the shore so that he could get a close view of her. To his dismay he felt a huge grin appear on his face as an idea popped up in his head as he saw her near the lake. "Come in the water with me, the water is warm," he told her tricking her about the water to tease her. "I'll be fine, i can look after myself," he reassured her after hearing that she hoped that he knew that he was doing. "Trust me," he held out a hand in front of her.

Harry rose an eyebrows at her when she asked how have he been, he was surprise she took the time to ask how he have been. He liked that. "Great, nothing much happen," he shrugged her shoulders at her and smiled warmly at her. "Just studying, nothing fun happen when your not around," he grinned.

Nikki rose one of her eyebrows at him and scoffed. I'm sure the water is warm. Nikki nodded and played along with him. I never said I didn't trust you, but I'm already cold, I'd rather not be freezing, thanks. Nikki told him. Then perhaps we should get together more often. Nikki suggested. Since Nikki really wanted to be close to him, she could only lose and accept to swim. She firstly took off her slippers. How badly do you want me to enter the lake? Nikki asked curiously.

(Posting as Harry)

Harry chuckled when he noticed her playing around with his little joke. "I would love that," he smiled at her, giving her a small view of his perfect set of white teeths at her. He really liked that idea, to spend more time together more often, he couldn't wait. Then suddenly she asked how badly does he want me in to enter the lake with him, he considered on this for the moment. "So badly, i'd wait here all night until you come in."
