Chapter 118: Ice-cream

The first weekend arrived and students of Hogwarts couldn't' be happier, they have a chance to leave the grounds or take a break from studying and school work. Edwin wasn't like the rest he could leave when he wants but he still enjoys the free time the weekend brings even if he would just spend it doing research.

Edwin got dress in his simple black robes with green stripes on the end and the Four houses badge pinned onto his chest, as he left his dorm room and entered the common room Draco, Theodore and Isabella approached him.

"So everyone's ready," Edwin asked knowing that they would visit Hogsmeade together.

"About that- "Theodore said as he was cut off by Draco.

"We're not goin' to Hogsmeade today," Draco said with a deadpan expression" And can we borrow the Map, there's something we have to do"

Before the twins left Hogwarts they gave Edwin the Marauder's Map for safekeeping" What do you need it for"

"There is this Gryffindor kid we want to mess with "Draco replied with a Deadpan expression "he doesn't know his place"

Edwin didn't think much of it as it's normal for Draco to get even, but what was strange is that Theodore was going along with it" Sure" Edwin replied going back into his Dorm room to collect the map.

"Here just don't take it too far"

"We won't" Theodore replied taking a glance at the ground.

With the map Theodore and Draco went their way, "Wonder who's that unlucky kid" Isabella said taking a glance at Edwin before quickly turning away" Guess it's just me and You today"

"What about Daphne, Luna, and Neville," Edwin asked as they head to the Thestral field.

"Neville is busy and Daphne is with Luna looking for some weird creatures" Isabella stated as a slight smile grew on her face.

"It's just you and me" Edwin replied and he thought about with Tonks was asking him, a smile unknowingly appeared on his face.

The two arrived at the stables and luckily only one carriage was left instead of waiting for more persons to join them they took the last carriage, on the ride to Hogsmeade Edwin took out his personal Prototype that's pitch black and had white skulls on the ends.

Edwin's Prototype could be played loud as a giant speaker and songs could be played from memory, he played mostly rock and Punk rock; and to his surprise, Isabella would hum along to the songs would even sing along to some parts.

Which caused Edwin to sing the parts he knows, and soon the carriage was filled with singing that didn't sound particularly nice mostly due to Edwin singing Isabella didn't mind and would even make fun of Edwin as he missed parts of the lyrics.

"How do you know so many songs," Edwin asked in amazement.

"From the Walkman" Isabella replied lowering the Prototype volume as he had already met their destination, for almost the entire day Edwin and Isabella wander around Hogsmeade shopping, talking and checking out the new store that seems to appear out of nowhere which is common in the wizarding world.

The shore was one of the larger building in Hogsmeade with two stories (three if count ground floor) and an open area in front of the store where students could rest, the building looked welcoming with its story-like appearance.

"What do you sell here," Edwin asked seeing some students eating ice-cream, drinking tea and some were going upstairs where charming gifts are being displayed

"Everything and anything" The shop responded stretching his hands out" I'm Ollie Byrne"

"Edwin Vaclav"

"Isabella Fiendfeild"

"So what will you be having today," Ollie Asked putting on a cap over his medium-length brown hair" we have the best ice-cream"

Edwin made the order and waited for Ollie to return and when he did he brought two large size coffee ice-cream than Edwin had ordered" One of the young Vaclav and one for his girlfriend" Ollie said handing the two ice-cream to each of them.

Isabella's face turned red as she tried to say something but before she could deny it Edwin spoke up" we didn't order a larger one"

"It's on the house for such a young couple" Ollie replied with a rather large smile" think nothing of it"

"thanks" Edwin replied taking the Ice-cream but could shake the feeling something was off, Isabella tried to bring up why Edwin didn't say they aren't together but she couldn't and just pushed it to the back of her mind.

"Are you okay?" Edwin asked Isabella who was barely eating her Ice-cream.

"Yeah-Yeah" Isabella quickly replied as she started to eat her ice-cream too fast and a brain freeze soon followed.

The two didn't spend much longer at Hogsmeade and head back to the castle, on their way back to the castle Edwin saw Luna and Daphne walking out of the forbidden forest" Daphne, Luna" Isabella called out surprised

"Edwin, Isabella" Luna shouted as she ran over to the" Wolves we found them"

"Wolves?" Edwin questioned why would anyone be happy about finding wolves in a forest.

It turns out that Luna got Daphne to go along with her one of her creature hunt, and while hunting for the creature they ran into a pack of wolves that didn't harm them; being curious Luna chose to follow and talk to them.

"They wolves understood what Luna was saying," Daphne said with surprise" they're not werewolves "

Edwin also was curious about friendly and intelligent wolves as he listens to Luna's story, the day passed and Draco returned the Map just after Edwin returned and said" we got him" with a deadpan expression.

"Professor" Edwin called out knocking at Snape's new office door.

"Edwin you can enter," Snape said unlocking the door" what is it you need now"

"I feel weird" Edwin replied as ever since he returned from Hogsmeade he been feeling increasingly sick with each hour that passed" can you see if anything wrong"

"It would be best to go to Madam Pomfrey but I'll see what I can do" Snape replied checking Edwin with magic.

"Professor there is something else"

"There is always something else with you," Snape said with a sigh" what is it"

"You see I'm amazed that You know who can fly without broom and I was wondering if you can teach me"

Snape looked at Edwin with a shock expression" that will have to wait"

"But professor… What waits" Edwin as he got confused, he was expecting that Snape would deny it.

"yes wait you have been poisoned" Snape stated cutting Edwin arm drawing some blood" we have to go to Madam Pomfrey and yes I'll teach you it"

"Poisoned?" Edwin questioned
