After All These Years

Chapter 64

I sat boringly on the edge of my bed as I waited for Henry's appearance.

I allowed myself to nervously pick at my lips, thinking of how Tom would swat my hand away if I did so around him, though he isn't here to do so anymore, it's just me.

When I began to taste blood at my lips, I heard a lazy knock at my door, forcing my hand down from my face as I got to the door, licking the blood away before I swung the door open.

There stood Henry.

I let a quiet sigh out before speaking.

"You said you'd come after Quidditch, 5:00."

I took a step back as he entered the room.

"I know, We just wanted to practice a little while longer. Time really flies, you know?"

"I guess."

-I respond as I sit back on my bed.

Henry stands a few feet opposite of me, one hand in his pocket, the other smoothing out his hair.

He sighs as he looks at me, his head slightly tilted.

"Look, I'll make it up to you later. I promise, yeah?"

He reaches a hand out towards me.

I smile before him as I take his hand, pulling myself up.

Pulling on my hands, he holds me close before he kisses me.

The small cut on my lip burns as it comes in contact with his lips, but I don't pull back, not until he does.

"Let's have dinner, I'd like to take you somewhere afterwards."

-He says, smiling as our hands release.

"sure."

-I say, still smiling as he starts to leave the room, letting me follow from behind.

He walks ahead of me as we go through the stairs but as we get to the bottom, his hand quickly grabs me, pulling me to him as we continue walking.

"Henry-"

-I begin to say before biting my tongue, stopping myself as I see Tom sitting by the fireplace, comfortably seated in a chair.

He stares up at me from his book as we pass by him to exit the common.

Tom quietly scoffs to himself as we exit the room.

Not long after, Henry releases his grip from me.

When we get to The Great Hall, It isn't long before Henry sinks down deep in a conversation with his group, leaving me with my thoughts once again.

{You guys I know this is a short chapter and I am sorry, I just wanted to post a chapter today, I owe that much to you guys for making you wait for so long, and I took a pill a small while ago ( Not drug wise, medicinewise. I'm not that kind of gal ) , so I feel really tired at the moment}

{Question time baby : What kind of person are you when enjoying a popsicle? Apparently there are many different ways people eat it }

{I'm that person that bites and chews it}

{I'm so tired at this point, so I'm headed for bed}

{So until next time}
