Harry- 7 months 2 weeks

Asher's POV

"Shit the meeting!" Uncle Dray curses under his breath looking up at me. "I have to go to a meeting with your Mimi it's kinda top secret..... yeah. Anyways can I drop you off at Atlas's practice he should be done soon" he frantically packs his stuff away.

"That's fine" I smile grabbing my bag from his desk swinging it over my shoulder. "Thank you!" He thanks me already making his way to the door. I follow behind hanging on tightly to the straps over my shoulders.

I can't lie, I feel bad about Atlas and me being a secret. I feel like they would want to know. I do know for a fact he's doing it to get at his sisters, and because we would never get to be alone together.... touching my cheek I can feel my face get warm just thinking about it

When it comes to relationships I know nothing, yet he is a professional! The flirting, teasing, kisses, cuddling, just our conversations in general! It's so unfair.

"So will we be finding out about this secret meeting soon?" I ask and he looks back to make eye contact with me. "If the majority agrees with this 'secret' the school will be notified soon..." he sighs as I nod biting my cheek.

"You don't seem too happy?" I whisper looking down. "It's just going to be stressful and I know my husband is not going to like this 'secret' at all, and with the baby-". He stops looking at me "you get the point" he adds and I nod. "Well I hope everything works out for you all" I make eye contact with him and he smiles back at me before turning to walk forward again.

"Thank you, I'm really hoping it does" he mumbles the quidditch field coming into view.   I watch as the Slytherin team comes down all out of breath as their captain follows, quickly trying to explain something.

"Well I really must be off" Dray calls waving bye to me.  I give him a small wave while mouthing "bye" Focusing my gaze on the team I sit on the grass my back against the structure behind me.  Why am I getting anxious, fiddlesticks! I hate being alone. It's just worse when I feel like everybody is staring at me and now I'm just sitting on the field obviously I'm not supposed to be here!

Watching Atlas, he slaps the back of a guy's shoulder before they all start packing up brooms in hand. I stand up brushing off my bum only to look up and see Atlas walking towards me. The others must have gone the other way. I didn't want to go on the actual field so I just stayed put.

"How's my handsome Hufflepuff" he chuckles dropping his broom. "I'm okay" I blush blowing a curl out of my face. "How are you," I ask looking him up and down. He looked so good in his uniform.... ugh.

"I'm great" he smirks wrapping an arm around my waist. "Now, just ok?" He repeats my words and I nod looking away. "What's wrong?" Atlas whispers his face becoming concerned. "I'm just not over.... uh it... I miss her..." I trail off looking back up to him.

He nods giving me an understanding look. "You take as much time as you need, and don't worry we all miss her" he sighs placing his other hand on my cheek.  Looking around us quickly he bites his lip turning back to me with a goofy grin.

"What?!" I laugh at the look on his face.  He leans down leaving a single kiss on my lips. I become flustered once again. "Hey!" I whine burying my red face into him. It's so embarrassing when he does that.

"Nobody is around don't worry" he kisses the top of my head and I just nod.  "How was practice?" I trace patterns on his stomach with my finger.  "It was pretty good, Reinford about flew straight into me... again." He groans.

I take my head off of his chest and look up at him.  "What's it like to fly?" I find myself letting my curiosity get the best of me.   "It's nice, I feel like all my worries are set aside once I'm up in the air and the breeze just feels magnificent" he looks up at the sky his eyes gleaming as I listen to his description.

I wish "let me take you" he cuts off my thoughts and I look up to him once again, Atlas looking down at me.  "I can't" I try to explain but he sighs.  "Trust me, Ash I know, I won't take you high off the ground unless I know you're okay with it" he cocks his head to the side.

I want to go.  The rules! It could be fun. It could be dangerous.  What if this is my only chance? We might get in trouble. It might be scary.  I try to weigh my options staring at the ground harshly.  Strong hands grip my shoulders.  "I won't let you fall" he reads my mind and I nod.

Keeping my eyes shut I take a deep breath "okay I want to do it" I whisper his hands letting go of me "well come over here then" he chuckles pulling me over to his broom.  I was practically shaking just thinking about it.

I follow Atlas's instructions and stand behind him the broom quickly levitating as I find myself a comfortable spot my feet already dangling as Atlas still stood.  "Heh shortie" he snickers as I pout not for long though, wrapping my arms around my boyfriend's torso.

Fiddlesticks! I'm not ready for this. The broom goes higher and both Atlas and I levitated 10 feet off the ground and I look around excitedly, refusing to let go. "Are you okay?" he asks me as I struggle to make out words. "Yhe- ye- he- yes!" I finally manage to shout as we start to fly forward a quick circle around the field.

My curls are quickly blown out of my face. Sitting up a bit more I look around still amazed. He was right the breeze does feel amazing. Some random boost of braveness came to me as I leaned forward closer to Atlas so he could hear me. "Can we go higher?" I ask a bit louder so he can hear me.

He doesn't say anything but chuckles when all of a sudden we tilt upwards at an incline and I tighten my grip once again watching the ground get farther away. It's so beautiful and amazing. I wish I could do this whenever I wanted.

Instead of looking at my surroundings, I whip my head to look straight down and grip onto Atlas's jersey.  "Just relax baby" he shouts trying to be heard over the wind.  I just hug onto him trying extra hard to keep my breaths even though I know I won't be heard over the howling of the wind.

From here I could see the whole quidditch field and sucked in a breath. We were so high... it looked so beautiful. How could anyone ever get use to this? Also, how did uncle Harry ever freaking stand on one of these... is he crazy!?!

Wait what if somebody sees us up here. "Atlas!" I shout and he turns back with a confused look. He stops the broom and the whipping of the wind settles down. "Did you say my name?" He asks and I nod thankful he had heard me.

"Somebody might see us up here.." I blurt out looking at the ground around us for people. "Yeah you're right I don't want you getting in trouble, we wouldn't be able to see each other" he winks before plunging forward.

I gasp at the sudden drop my eyes practically coming out of my head.  Clinging on tightly to the boy in front of me, I hold in my shouts.  By the time I can focus again we were on the ground.

Quickly I go to get off and my foot gets caught causing me to stumble forward... a lot.  I give up and just let myself fall with a laugh.  I can hear Atlas chuckling behind me as I flip to my back laughing right through the embarrassment, my face a darker shade of red.

"You okay?" He asks giving me his hand.  I take it and he pulls me up effortlessly. Practically lifting me off the ground.  Jeez, he's strong.  "Yeah just got my foot stuck" I mumble digging my shoe into the earth.

"So how was it?" He questions me, letting his arms hang around my lower back.  "It was scary but amazing" I whisper realizing my legs were still shaking a bit.  I look around and sigh "it's so different down here" I mostly mumble to myself.

"You know I will take you flying anytime you want"

"Thank you"

"For?"

"For everything"
