School Life

Ch 20- Warmth

Harry's POV
As Tessia's soft hand let go of mine onto the carriage back to the academy, I felt her warmth linger around my palm and fingers.

I stared at my hand, the warmth I felt even through my gloves. I closed my fist, "Actually. I'll stay here for a bit, I want to go on a walk." I said with a soft smile.

"If you want I can-" I cut her off, "No, it's fine. You've got to deliver your flowers, don't you? You don't want them to wilt." I jokingly said.

She nodded and went onto the carriage, as it left I gazed at it, as it got further and further away. I scoffed at my actions and leaned my head forward.

Well let's go on that walk.

The street lights began to light up, couples, families and friends were talking to each other laughing, giggling.

I wondered around not knowing where to go as I passed an ally I saw the shadow move. That wasn't my illusion, was it?

I walked into the park and slowly sat down onto a bench, "What do you want now?" My arms hung over the back, creating a relaxed and confident atmosphere. Having an idea who it could be.

"Have you given it any thoughts, sir?" A cloaked boy with a black mask asked, "And what if I said I had?" I sarcastically questioned.

"Then, are you going to join our crusade?" He eagerly asked, "Tell your boss that he can take that offer and shove it up his ass for all I care." Placing my leg onto my knee.

"You! My Lord won't be happy with your answer." He said furiously, "Well tell Eevee or whatever his name is that he can shove it up his dick if he wants." I shrugged.

"That's! How dare-"

"How dare I what? Are you gonna fight me, Sweetheart?" I commented as I formed a pencil sized stick of ice, spinning it around my fingers.

"You! I don't understand what My Lord sees in you! Thinking you would have the potential to be a part of our movement!" He spat.

"He's either that hopeful or just that stupid." I commented, "If you don't mind, I want to be alone now." I said, aiming my ice toothpick like a dart.

He glared at me before going back into the shadows, "What a nuisance." I breathed, knowing that he would still hear me.

Damn...I still haven't told her about this...I rubbed my temples thinking of a way to tell her.

After that unpleasant meeting, I made my way back to my dorm. I opened the door and turned left, straight to my bathroom to take a shower hoping to relax a bit, got dressed ready to sleep for the night.

*Knock Knock Knock.*

Who is it! I'm so done with that Eevee dick and the situation with Tessia. I just want sleep.

I went to the door and opened it, well ain't that a familiar face. "No thanks. Not today." I slammed the door in his face, but his hand kept the door from closing.

"Harry. We need to talk-" he began, "If it's about Lucas. I don't need a lecture today." I interrupted.

"No, there's that. But I'm here because some shady shit's going on." He stated, his hand still holding the door open.

"So? What do you need me for?" I asked nonchalantly, "You're strong. You can help us out and-"

"Holy shit! Did the great Theo just called me strong?" I exclaimed sarcastically, "Yeah!" He exclaimed sarcastically before continuing.
