((Haha.. Iono.. Scenary purposes? ))
Natalie waited inside the tree. She stifled a giggle as she saw the figure of Jake flying across. "Now,"she whispered softly. Several high pitched whistling sounds flew out of the tree and swiveled around, racing in Jake's directions. Natalie flew out of the tree, chuckling softly. She watched as the dozens of mini-Bludgers shot towards Jake.

Jake let out a small yelp as a small Bludger flew over his head. He swerved out of the way and dodged the first few, but the other ones hit their mark. Jake covered his head and lost control of the broom as it was hit. It flew at the ground and Jake crashed, face down in the grass, unmoving, with the mini-Bludgers still attacking.

"Uh-oh,"mumbled Natalie under her breath as she flew down towards the ground. The mini-bludgers stopped abruptly and dropped to the ground, lifeless. She jumped off her broom and knelt down beside him, shaking him softly. "Jake?"she asked, nervously. "How ya' doing down there?"

Jake didn't answer. He was face down on the ground, with his broom underneath him across his chest. The wind howled through the branches of the oak tree, suddenly growing stronger as if they had been constrained and broke free.

"Jake?"asked Natalie, nervously. She shook him harder. "Come on. The grass can't taste that good. Just get up. Make a sound or something,"she said, a tiny bit louder. She shook him hard again.
(( Sorry.. x.x;; ))

Still no reaction. Jake was completely still, and it didn't even look like he was breathing. The wind kept blowing just as hard, as if telling Natalie that she was out of luck...not only was her boyfriend possibly dead, but she was too if Lily found out.

((Haha.. WOW... ))
Natalie bit her lower lip and rolled Jake over. "Oh crap oh crap oh crap,"she mumbled to herself, pushing hard on his chest. "JAKE! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE! LILY'S GONNA KILL ME WHEN SHE FINDS OUT!"she shouted, now pounding on his chest. "WAKE UP DAMMIT. WAKE UP!"

Jake still didn't move. The broom handle was digging into his back painfully, but he didn't seem to feel anything. His eyes were closed, and his breathing was soft and irregular. The wind whistled through the spaces in between the branches of the trees.

"Jake!"whined Natalie, still pounding on his chest. "Come on! This isn't funny anymore. What do you want me to do? I'll do anything! Come on, Jake!" She shook him a few more times. "JAKE!"

Suddenly Jake sat up and kissed Natalie full on the lips, wrapping his arms around her neck as he did so. The wind calmed down for a second before lifting them both slowly upward off the ground into the air, continuing steadily.

Natalie gasped, her eyes widening. Her heart skipped several beats. Her balled up fists began to uncurl on his chest. She closed her eyes and kissed him back.

Jake winced as he felt her fingers touch the scar Anthony had left on his chest. They shook in the air for a few seconds before he regained his focus and they floated more smoothly. By now they were about 20 feet up.

Natalie broke away from Jake and wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning her head on his chest. She eyed the field below them. "Not that I mind the whole surprise thing. That was wonderful, by the way,"she added hasitly," But..What's this about?"she asked, suspiciously, looking up at Jake. "Did you break something?"she raised an eyebrow. "Or did you do something wrong? Or.."she trailed off.

Jake sighed, smiling softly. "OK, you caught me...I cannot tell a lie..." he trailed off dramatically. "Remember that shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes?" he asked, making it sound like it was a distant memory of a shop. The wind wavered for a second and they began to descend at a quick pace before it caught them and brought them back to where they were.

There was a sharp intake of breath from Natalie. "Yes?"she exhaled sharply through her teeth. She lifted her head from his chest, eyeing him warily. I knew that kiss was too good to be true. Natalie sighed and looked at him. "Go on."

"Well...you know how there were those boxes Exploding Snitches in the back room? The ones that you were gonna release to the public tomorrow..." he continued, looking very grave and solemn. He avoided her gaze pointedly, looking off at the Pitch and seeming to have lost his train of thought.

Natalie gave a sigh of relief. Good, nothing happened to the shop. She nodded slowly, still eyeing him warily. "What about them?"she asked, slowly.

"Well, you know how when there's a lot of them together and they go off all at once, they can destroy an entire building?..." Jake continued, snapping out of his trance and looking back at Natalie with not-so-innocent eyes.

"Yes,"Natalie said, glaring at him now. She could pretty much picture what had happened in her head. "Jake... Did you blow up the shop?"she said, venemously.

Jake looked at Natalie. He was silent for a second and then laughed loudly, "No," he said simply, grinning. "I bought some two days early..." he added, still finding it funny that he was good enough of an actor to make her think he had blown up the ship. He hadn't lied after all...just hinted in the wrong direction. "I put them in Lily's storage room..." he said after a few more seconds.

Natalie blinked several times. Her eyes seemed to turn demonically red as her body shook for a few seconds. Her hands were balled up into fists at this point. "OH MY SMEGGING GOSH JAKE!"shouted Natalie, burying her face in his clothes. "YOU EVIL CHILD! I THOUGHT YOU REALLY DID BLOW UP THE SHOP!"she shouted, banging her fist on his chest.

Jake winced, eyes closed tightly, as she hit the scar again. Pretending that nothing had happened, and thankful that she had been looking away, Jake forced a laugh. "Sorry, I couldn't resist..." he said. "And isn't it better than if I did actually blow up the shop?"
//Are we saying that Nats knows about the scar?//

((Sure. ^^ ))
Natalie looked up, still glaring at him. "I suppose,"she mumbled. "But seriously. Is that it? You just nicked a couple of stuff from the shop?"she asked, grinning slightly. She tilted her head so her chin was on his chest and she looked straight up at him.

Jake ignored the fiery pain that was coming from his chest as she put her chin on it, and said, "Actually, I didn't steal them. I just got them a few days early...the money is in the safe," he explained, trying to keep a straight face even though it felt like there was a fire lit on his chest. They slowly began to drift down to the ground again.

"Well, fine,"she shrugged. "The Exploding Snitches aren't exactly the first thing on my to-do list anyways. You can just nick them. I really doubt they're gonna be a huge success anyways,"she rolled her eyes. Natalie paused and tilted her head to the side. "Jake. Are you ok?"she asked, raising an eyebrow. "You look like you just saw something unbelievably hysterical or something's wrong."
