Lionesses- Harry Hampton

We done then?

It was the beginning of the Euros pre camps. Sarina had announced a provisional squad that would be attending these before she made her final decision.

For the first time in ages, Harry wouldn't be attending camp. He had to go to school and he was very unhappy about it.

It felt weird being somewhere without Hannah. The camps were only small ones with the girls spending a few days at home and then a few at camp until the final announcement.

Since the incident, Harry and his Grandad had been getting along a lot better. Harry had been trying to not get in as much trouble and if he occasionally did his Grandad tried to not get so angry.

Harry was also spending a lot more time going out with his mates. They would spend hours out after school and they met up every weekend as well.

Life was going pretty good. Except for one thing. Elodie.

Over the past few weeks she had become very distant and seemed to be spending a lot more time with other boys. Harry tried not to let it bother him but it was becoming rather difficult. He decided to confront her one lunch time.

"What's going on? Do you not like me anymore or something?" he asked as he approached her. She was sat with Morgan much to Harry's annoyance.

"No. She doesn't," Morgan answered for her.

"Weren't asking you," Harry spat.

"He's right though. I don't like you anymore. Sorry," Elodie said.

"We done then?" Harry asked, disappointed but not wanting to show it.

"Yeah I guess," Elodie replied with a shrug. With that Harry walked off.

When Hannah got home, her Grandad was sat on the sofa waiting.

"You alright?" she asked, dumping her bag on the floor and kicking off her shoes.

"Mhm. I think you might need to check on Harry though. He's been very quiet since he got back from school and he won't talk to me," Grandad replied. Hannah said she would and headed up to her brother's room.

He was curled up looking at his phone when she entered.

"You okay?" she asked, sitting down on his bed and forcing him to move over. He grunted a yes and kept his back to her.

"You sure?"

"Yep," Harry said, popping the p in an attempt to sound more convincing. Hannah stayed silent, knowing that sooner or later he would tell her the truth.

"Me and Elodie broke up," he said after a few minutes of silence.

"Oh Haz I'm sorry."

"S'alright," he replied. He wasn't too upset but he still felt a bit sad about it. Hannah pulled him into hug and he didn't fight it. It was very much needed.

"Oh my days! Harry come look at this," Hannah shouted up the stairs. He came stomping down, wondering what it could be.

"Your schools burnt down," she said, turning her phone so he could see the e-mail she'd just received.

His mouth dropped as he read through what it said.

"No school until September. Sick!"

"You still have to do work, ya know?" Hannah laughed at her brother's joy over such a depressing thing.

The call popped up and Harry instantly answered it. Today was the day and he was praying that it was good news.

"I'm in!" his sisters voice squealed cheerfully.

"Oh my god! I'm so proud of you," he replied, a massive smile etched across his face.

"I've got to go but I'll be home tomorrow," she said. She wanted to talk longer but Sarina wanted to have a chat with her.

When she entered Sarina was sitting with a smile on her face.

"I just want to say a massive congratulations. I'm sure you know how big of a deal this is and it won't be easy," she started off.

"I know," Hannah replied, earnestly.

"The main thing I wanted to speak to you about was Harry."

"He doesn't have to come. I know he's been a guest for the whole year but I understand that this camp is different."

"No. I'd like him to come. He really brings something to camp. Obviously, it's going to be intense but I'm happy for him to be here."

"If he wants that is," she added.

"He definitely does," Hannah laughed.

The news that Harry could go on the Euro camp was probably some of the best he'd ever received.

"Seriously? I can go?" he asked, overjoyed with what he'd just been told.

"Yes. You still have to do your online learning though," Hannah told him. He rolled his eyes but then embraced his sister tightly, excited over what was to come.

The pair travelled down to St George's Park a couple of days later. An excited Georgia and Ella greeted them in the car park.

"My favourite sibling duo," Ella said as she embraced them both tightly. The four of them walked to the lobby and were greeted with a wave of noise. The Lionesses were back. And it was going to be a big summer.

Since his TikTok debut the girls had been constantly forcing him into making them. They spent hours just having fun and learning them. The process would probably have been easier if they didn't constantly make each other laugh but it was much more entertaining that way.

"You have to come in from the left," Mille told Harry for what felt like the hundredth time.

"My left or your left?" he asked.

"We're facing the same way," Millie laughed at his stupidity.

Eventually they managed to perfect the dance and it was a hit as soon as it was posted.
