It's finally summer again. His father is off with the death eaters somewhere. Which means he has the vacation home in Italy to himself. And the cleaners and waiters and cooks and elfs but you get the idea.

So he invited all his friends. All of them are Slytherins. But this year there's a new edition. A ravenclaw. She's friends with the Slytherin's too at this point. So it's okay.

More than okay because she's the only one besides him and Reggie who speaks Italian. So the three of them have been having the time of their lives as their other friends walk around like headless chickens, having no idea what the hell they're saying.

They find it funny. It's a little mean. But so funny.

Everyone was hanging on the balcony of Yuri's and Pansy's room. The only girls. Yuri and Reggie were sitting on the floor against the bed.

He leans against the doorpost as he looks down at her. God he got lucky. And Italy only reminds him of a few months ago. Spring break. When he stole her first kiss. He smiles and crosses his arms.

"Scusa Reggie, voglio rubare Yuri per un minuto?"
