thirteenth chapter

"YOUR ROOM IS REALLY high up." Harry took a deep breath, "You can see everything."

Louis chuckled in amusement, seeing Harry just by the doorway with his hands on his pockets while the prince is leaning on the ledge, "You can come closer."

Harry dared to, and he released his breath as he rested his hands on the barrier between him and everything else, "The town is beautiful."

Louis snorted, "You can barely see anything. It is dark."

And it was. There were hints of large torch lights on the streets, but they couldn't see the streets clearly. Harry looked up at the sky, relaxing a bit, "Yes, but ..." He clears the throat, "Look at the sky."

Both of them did, and they smiled at the same time. There were stars everywhere, and of course the large moon which seems to light everything else up, "It is beautiful."

Louis smiled, "Have you seen the sky like that?"

Harry nodded eagerly, "I take time to lie down outside our hut and just relax. I do that ... every night. But I think I am so much closer now."

Louis somehow knew that information, always catching a glimpse of the lad outside. He turned around, leaning back, "How is it like being a sword smith?"

"Quite difficult." Harry shrugged, "Aching muscles everywhere."

Louis bursted out laughing, doubling over for a moment, "Really? I should suggest to my father to add a massaging service around here."

Harry stifled a laugh, subtly covering his mouth, "That will help, certainly."

"Did your family come?" Louis asked suddenly, "I've seen your mate... and he looked like he was with his family."

"Oh, Mario? Yes, he told me about it." Harry nodded, "But no, they didn't come."

"Why?"

"They don't appreciate big events. They just want to ... lay low." Harry answered.

Louis hummed, "I feel the same way, but I got used to it because I should."

"That's why you dragged me in here?" Harry teased.

Louis' eyebrows shot up, "Did you want to stay back there? I knew I should've asked first-"

"No, it's alright." Harry said reassuringly, "I wasn't doing anything there, actually. I was all alone."

Louis smiled mischievously, "Really? Because I saw you dancing with Eleanor before I stole you."

Harry cleared his throat, "She wanted to dance with me, so I did because I was slowly slipping into boredom."

"You should have come to me, then, you fool!" Louis laughed.

"I did not see you, and I didn't want to waste your time. I am quite boring." Harry stated as a fact.

"It's your stories that are boring." Louis pointed out and Harry let out a snort, "Your voice is relaxing, slow and so deep."

"You say that like it's a good thing."

"It is."
