Thomas was certain that he couldn't have been upset with Sarah for keeping that she was a seer from him. It would be a difficult burden to bear, but he knew that Sarah was a strong person and that she would be capable of dealing with it. But he also hoped that she would be able to share her burdens with her friends, too. "If there's ever anything you need, like someone to talk to or anything I can do to help, you can always ask me, okay? It must be really difficult for you but I want to be able to help you deal with it and process it," he offered supportively.
When Sarah said she tried to help him with Madison, he shrugged. "It wasn't up to you whether it happened or not. It's just the way things turned out, and you're right, maybe it is for the better," he said with a shrug. He had almost gotten to the point where he was okay with that, but it would take a little bit more time to get there completely. "How about you? Any dashing guys on the radar?" he asked a little teasingly.

Do as the Romans do "How about you? Any dashing guys on the radar?" At the words of her friend, Sarah couldn’t help but laugh. It wasn’t as though she had never dated. She had. Once or twice. But the only serious boyfriend that she had ever had was the man whom she was currently using as a pillow and also happened to be sort of in love with her best friend. So, Sarah was confident that she could answer him in the negative. “Nope. No one.” She sighed though, almost wishing that there were someone. When Sarah had told James that she had been keeping something from him, he asked her if she had gotten pregnant or something. Sarah knew it was a joke, of course, but she also thought about how she would have to have a man in her life to get pregnant… which she didn’t. And hadn’t really since Thomas. And they had almost been to young back then for their relationship to even count. “Maybe that’ll change now that I work at a bar though.” She half joked.
“Madison’s great, I love her to death. But if she still can’t see that you like her or still can’t register all the hints we’ve both been dropping in your favor… maybe someone else will.” A part of Sarah couldn’t believe what she was saying. She loved the idea of her two friends being happy and in love with each other. But Thomas had spent years trying to make it happen and now they were adults, on their own, and it still hadn’t even come close to happening. She felt bad for the guy.

Thomas wrapped an arm around her comfortingly when she said that she didn't. She sounded disappointed. "Hey, don't get too down about it. Nothing wrong with being single, right? All four of us are, so it's not like you're the only one. And I'm sure someone will come along for you soon- like you said you'll have plenty of opportunities to meet people at your job!" he agreed.
He just shrugged again about Madison. "Yeah, I guess someone else might come along. There's kind of other priorities at the moment, though, too, what with the Order and stuff like that. So basically, if it happens it happens, but if not, I've got plenty to keep me busy," he decided. He was used to being patient by now.

Do as the Romans do “I’m not too worried about it. I mean, I am only 18.” Sarah shrugged a little and set her hands on her stomach, watching the sky. It was a cloudless, clear day. She figured most days would be like this on their trip. “I have plenty of time to date around and find the one who’s right, right?” Sarah didn’t feel any pressure to hurry up and find a husband. Some parents did put that kind of pressure on their children, Sarah’s weren’t like that. She had just told all of her friends her big secret and now life was pretty nice. The pressure was off; there was no need that Sarah saw to add any more or new pressure. “You’ll figure it out. We’re both young and we have time to test things and make mistakes.” She nodded her head along with her words. She knew her words sounded cheesy, but she liked them, and she meant them. “Hey, we didn’t come all the way to Italy to sit on rocks and feel bad for ourselves, did we?” she smirked and stood up. “Come on.” She said and ran down to the water after offering him her hand to help him stand.

That was a fair point, and probably something Thomas had to try and remember, too. Just because things hadn't worked out with Madison didn't mean that he had to rush off and find someone else straightaway - he had plenty of time. "Yeah, that's true. I guess we still have a lot of time - no need to go out seeking it, right? We can let it come to us," he said with a smile. He was sure that Sarah wouldn't have any trouble finding a date - she was a brilliant person, plus being absolutely gorgeous. Guys would have absolutely no reason not to be interested in her.
At her suggestion to get up, he reached out his hand to let her help him pull him up, and then he ran after her down to the sand. "This is such a great spot. It's really spectacular scenery," he commented as he made it down to the water's edge and let the water lap at his feet.

Do as the Romans do For years Sarah had shut herself out away from the world. She hadn’t traveled with her family or with her friends. She had missed out on so many great opportunities that she knew she would never get back. And, she had gotten to know the Hogwarts library far too well for any self- respecting, fun-loving Gryffindor. Sarah was fun-loving. She had always longed for adventure. She wanted to stand on the beach without a care in the world, not having to worry. She knew she would always have to worry about her visions, she never knew when they would come and she always had to be prepared, but she would no longer have to worry about hiding it from her loved ones. She was (in her own little way) free. The mild ocean water was a startling symbol of this fact. Her bare feet were covered in wet sand and her toes were sinking further into the ground with every washing wave, but she didn’t mind. Sarah started to smile, not her normal smile. Her rare-to-be-seen ‘I have a crazy idea and we’re going to do it’ smile. She turned to Thomas, took his hand and then started running out into the water, pulling her friend alongside her, jumping over rouge waves as they went. Once she was about knee deep. She let go of him and leaned down, splashing him when she came up, soaking him and a little of her in the back-lash. Sarah laughed. A real, belly-shaking laugh. “Oops.” She said and bit her lip, fully expecting payback. This was the Sarah that she wanted to be. She wanted to be able to play with her friends and not worry that they would shun her if they knew the truth. And now, she had her wish.

There was something about beaches that just brought out the fun side of life. It seemed like it was a lot harder to be upset or worried by things when you were at a beach. That seemed to be the case for Thomas and Sarah now, as they ran down to the water and then she dragged him into the water to about knee-depth. Thomas loved it when Sarah was like this - this was her natural, unrestrained, fun-loving self which he loved to see. He was glad that she didn't feel like she had to hold herself back around her closest friends anymore - it meant she would be able to rely on them more and be closer. But then she splashed him - she was definitely starting something here. "Oh, you're so in for it now," he said with a grin as he waded towards her, using both arms to send a big splash of water towards her. One of the good things about being able to do magic was that they would be able to dry themselves off using their wands afterwards, if they were careful about who was looking. So they could afford to get almost as wet as they liked...

DO as the Romans do Sarah couldn’t think of anything that she would rather do than run around in the ocean with Thomas. She loved Madison and James, but Thomas always understood her and he was always there for her. James wasn’t really in on the Madison and Thomas plot and Madison obviously was clueless. So, Sarah had probably spent more time with Thomas in the last few years than she had with anyone else... not including Lizzie. Sarah had expected Thomas to throw payback her way, and she received it less than gracefully in the form of another large splash from him. Sarah raised her hands to block her face from the splash and ended up losing her footing in the sand and falling backward on her butt into the ocean. “Nice going, Weasley.” Sarah laughed, completely drenched. She stood up and bit her lip again, then, she skipped out further into the water, admiring the clarity and brilliant color of the ocean. Once she was up to her waist, she dived in and under. She surfaced again about 10 yards later. The ocean had dropped off and the girl could no longer touch the bottom. “Not afraid are you?” she called to her friend, smirking and brushing her wet hair out of her face.

Thomas couldn't help but laugh when Sarah fell onto her butt in the water. Sure, she was all wet now but he knew she wouldn't mind that much. And in fact, she proved that when she dived under the water completely, getting rid of any possibility that she would be slightly dry. When she called out a challenge to him to come and join her, of course he wasn't going to say no. That would mean she would tease him all day for being a chicken. "Psh, as if water would scare me," he said, before running further into the water and diving underneath, popping up a few metres away from her. "Challenge accepted," he said to her jokingly, sending another small splash at her.

Do as the Romans do Sarah had never realized how refreshing it felt to be overcome by cold, crisp, ocean water. It hadn’t actually felt as cold as it did now when she was standing only knee deep in the soft waves. But, she didn’t mind the temperature of the water, she liked it actually. The cool rush of each little wave on her skin made her feel alive. It excited all the nerve ends in her being and made her want to smile even more. Sarah squealed a little when he splashed her again, she splashed him as well after failing to block the one he sent to her. They were both wet already, completely so. There was no point in trying to stop from getting any wetter. Sarah bit her lip in a moment on calm. She was glad that today had happened. It really had been on of the best days of her life, and she was glad that it was Thomas whom she was sharing it with. “Believe it or not, I hadn’t planned on the water fight before, but I’d totally win anyway.” She teased him, kicking her feet gently under the water to stay afloat.

For Thomas, it was just great to stop thinking about things for a bit. After everything that had happened, he had spent a lot of time thinking and worrying about the attack and what it meant for the world from now on, but here and now he was just having fun in the water and forgetting about all that kind of stuff. It was what he needed, to tune out from all of the stress and just relax a bit. Sarah had always made it easy for him to do that, which was something he appreciated about her. "Oh please, you stand no chance," he replied teasingly. The two were always competitive together, but it was in a fun way, never getting serious. "This is such a great spot, though. The water isn't even cold. It's perfect."

Sarah couldn’t agree more. The sun was starting to go down and so it cast a brilliant red glow over the ocean, beach and the surrounding areas. It was really beautiful. Everything that she had seen of Italy so far had been exponentially more beautiful than any place else she had ever been or seen. She was glad to be able to share the experience with Thomas and the rest of her friends, but so far, she had only seen Thomas. “It is really pretty, isn’t it? It’s almost a like a dream.” She couldn’t help but smile as she cast her glance over to the setting sun. Sarah realized that their teachers had probably been wondering where they had gone off too. A few others still sat around on the sand, but they were the only two left in the water. “I hate to ruin it… but it’s getting kind of late, isn’t it?” she sighed.

The sunset over the water was absolutely breathtaking. The beach faced towards the south-west so the sun was sinking down over the water itself. "Yeah, it's stunning. The colours on the water are amazing," he commented as he floated in the water and looked out towards the horizon. As she mentioned getting back, he nodded reluctantly. "Yeah, I guess you're right... we have to meet the group who are travelling back or we'll miss the trip back to the hotel," he pointed out as he started to swim in towards the shore. When they got there he grabbed his wand out of his bag and waved it over each of them - Sarah first, and then himself - doing a drying spell so that their clothes would actually be bearable to stay in for the trip back to Rome. "This is such a good spot, we should make sure we come back here once more before the end of the trip," he suggested.

Sarah swam back to the shore behind Thomas. They hadn’t been quite as far out as she thought that they had been and got back to the sandy beach rather quickly. She was grateful that he used the charm to dry off her clothes, they still had a bus to catch to get back to Rome and she didn’t want to sit for a while in soaking wet, and ocean scented clothing. Her hair was still wet, but she just pulled it up and tied it in a ponytail at the crown of her head. Her blonde hair fell in wet clumps around her neck. She picked up her bag from back onto of the rock that she had been sitting on and walked with Thomas back to the bus, that was just beginning to load. “We’ll definitely have to come back again before we go.” She agreed and climbed on board in front of her friend. Sarah sat on a seat near the window, leaving an open seat next to her for Thomas. Sarah yawned and stretched out her arms a little. This had been a long day and she was glad to be going back to the hotel, though, she probably wouldn't make it back to the hotel before she fell asleep.

They were pretty lucky to just make the bus on time - if they had stayed in the water a few more minutes, they might have missed it. "Well done on the timing there," he said, giving Sarah an affectionate nudge as they approached the bus. "I'm glad we're in agreement. We should get James and Madison to come too, it would be great," he suggested as they boarded the bus. Sarah looked really tired, and he hoped she was able to have a sleep on the bus before they got back. "You look exhausted. Were you very busy before I arrived?" he asked. They hadn't been in the water for a hugely long time, so he was wondering if she had done anything beforehand to make her more tired.
