Safe House

Thirty Six - Sixth year

"Happy Birthday!" I said when we woke up on the first of September.

"Oh yeah, I can do Magic now" Theo grinned, picking up his wand from the bedside table "Colovaria" He cast on me, I watched as my red hair turned green "I've been waiting to do that for a while now" He smirked

"That's not funny Theo! Change it back now" I said

"Do it yourself" He said.

"You know I can't" I said

"Then I guess it's staying that way then, it looks good on you."

"You're impossible" I sighed in frustration

"Hey, you have to be nice, it's my birthday" He put his wand back on the table, then wrapped his arms around my waist, bringing me closer to him, His face came closer to mine, my eyes fluttered shut as I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed the gap.

He then rolled from his side to his back and I fell on top of him, but we didn't break the kiss.

I then started to kiss down his jaw making my way down his throat and back again.

"Mum said tha-" I looked up, Ron was stood in the doorway, staring at us, eyes wide and open mouthed, Theo was shirtless and I was only in a small tank top, straddling him.

"Get out!" I screamed, throwing a book at him. He "Unfroze" coming to his sense and slammed my door shut.

I rolled off Theo, landing on the mattress next to him.

"Well that was fun whilst it lasted" Theo said.

"That was horrible!" I groaned, slapping my hands over my face to cover how red it was.

"Really? I kind of enjoyed the part where you-"

"Shut up, Nott" I said, standing up to get dressed. "And change my hair back"

"No, it's my birthday wish that you have your hair like that, for the whole day" He grinned, as if the most embarrassing thing to ever happen, didn't.

"Seriously?!" I said pointedly.

"Yep, and you can't ruin birthday wishes"

"I hate you" I groaned

"You don't really mean that" He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck

"Whatever, just remember that it's my turn  in exactly six months, I wonder what you look like in red?" I asked.

"You wouldn't!"

"Oh, but I would" I smiled innocently.

We both got ready before heading downstairs for breakfast, I got Theo to carry my trunk down with Wingardium Leviosa, after he got bored of watching me struggle and almost fall down the stairs, honestly, you'd think an magic school would allow magical trunks that don't weigh a thing.

Walking in the kitchen, Ron, Harry and Hermione were already sat around the table, Ron and I made eye contact and instantly looked in other directions, this was so awkward.

As we ate breakfast, Ginny eventually joined, everyone started chatting about the new term, even Theo joined in but me and Ron just sat in silence not wanting to even speak in front of each other.

"Oh- Keira, what's up with... your hair?" Mum asked me, walking into the kitchen.

"I- uh... it's a stupid birthday wish thing" I said, rolling my eyes.

"Oh, right...okay, well we should be leaving soon, so hurry up everyone" She said before walking out again.

"Oh, I 'ope zat you do not plan to keep your 'air like zat, if you are a bridesmaid at ze wedding" Fleur said, looking at my green hair in disgust.
