Naptime.

[Kyle Alcott-Ward]

Kyle didn't mean to fall asleep by the lake. Really, he didn't. But the sun was shining warmly, heating his chest through the Hufflepuff uniform he wore, and the birds were singing so sweetly. Combined with the lapping of the lake's water on his toes, Kyle really didn't stand a chance against the sweet lullaby of nature. The past few weeks had been so emotionally draining that really, he did deserve a nap. Just a little one. He stretched out under the warm sky, sighing happily. All his thoughts about Kit, the cute first year boy, and how he was going to tell Llhei that he was gay, which had been chasing each other around his head for days, slowly ebbed away, and all Kyle could think was how nice it was just lying here in the warm sun, without a care in the world.

 

[Malcom Harrison]

Malcom was walking along thinking about how hard his schoolwork was, when he spotted a boy sleeping by the lake. He wasn't sure whether to wake him or not. He looked older than Malcom, and like he might be angry if some little first year came and shook him from his slumber. He dithered for a while about whether to wake the boy or not, then decided a small shake on the shoulder could do no harm. He crept up to the sleeping boy and ever so gently shook him, to see if he would wake up.

 

[Kyle Alcott-Ward]

Kyle was floating, drifting, on the surface of a lake he couldn't see, and didn't really want to. Everything was peaceful and calm, and no harm could come to him. He sat up slowly, looking around, and realised Kit was sitting right in front of him. "Hi." Kyle said nervously, giving the other boy a smile. "Hey." Kit smiled back, taking Kyle's hand and entwining it with his own -
"ARGH!" Kyle cried as he was pulled out of the strange, ethereal dream by a small hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see a boy behind him, who looked to be a bit younger. "Hey." He said, embarrassed. "Sorry... weird dream. Did I startle you?" He asked, blushing slightly.
