Rylin Riddle: After The War

chapter eleven

April 13, 2000 (Wednesday)

        Today, Harry is supposed to come to check in on Theo. It's part of the requirements for Theo being let out of Azkaban. I wish it could be someone else to do the meetings. I can't stand the thought of Harry Potter coming to Tom's house or even being near me again.

         But guess what else gets to happen today? Everyone will be here. Draco, Enzo, Tom, Laura, Mattheo, Theo, and I will all be together all day. I have to say I've missed the idea of us all being reunited again.

        I just wish Laney and Blaise would be here too. That would make it a perfect day.

        Harry doesn't show up till later this afternoon, so we have all day until then to hang out with everyone. Theo is worried that somehow Harry will find a way to send him back to Azkaban. I don't think he'd do that. Or at least if he did, I'd probably kill him.

Knock, knock.
Someone's here.

        "I bet it's Malfoy." Mattheo said, hitting my shoulder as he sped past me. "My money's on Enzo." I shouted after him, chasing him to the door. I slid across the floor and smacked into my brother as he opened the door. "Ow!" He said, opening the door the remainder of the way.

       Enzo stood on the porch, looking at us like we were insane. "Fuck." Mattheo grumbled, closing the door as Enzo came in. I laughed and Mattheo rolled his eyes.

        Enzo stopped directly in front of me, putting his arms at his sides. With the straightest face he said, "Ry." I stopped and mirrored him, "Enzo." We both nodded to each other and I could see him struggling to keep a straight face. I laughed first, opening my arms to hug him. "I win." He said, hugging my middle.

        "It's nice to see you. It's been longer than usual." I said, walking with him back to the living room.
Theo sat on the couch with Tom and Laura, they weren't really talking though.

        "I've got to say, you're the best looking Azkaban prisoner I've ever seen." Enzo said once we got closer to the couch. Theo smiled and stood up, coming up to Enzo and I.

        "Hey, Berkshire. Nice to see you." Theo and Enzo latched their hands together and pulled into a quick hug, hitting each other on the back. Boys are weird.

        "Tom, Laura. How have you two been?" Enzo asked, walking to my brother and his girlfriend. Theo stayed next to me, giving me a look. I have no idea what the look is for though.

        "Are you still nervous?" I asked him, lowering my voice for a bit of privacy. "Not as much. There's so much going on now I can't even think about the meeting much. As long as you stay all over me, I won't be able to think of much else at all. Did I tell you how good you look in that shirt?" Theo asked, changing the topic quickly.

Isn't nervous my ass.

        "No... but I'm sure you could prove that." I told him, letting his hand rest on my side, lower back.
Theo pulled me closer to him and leaned close to my ear. "I'd be willing to prove it in other ways later. But for now, we have company."

        Disclaimer- Theo and I haven't had sex since Christmas break in seventh year. The most we've done since he's been back was makeout. Like the least amount of clothing was Theo's shirt off. He's still fragile and I don't want to rush anything again. But it sure sounded like he wanted to rush right back into it from that comment.

        "I'll wait then." I whispered back, feeling his warm lips press against my cheekbone.

        "Riddlette! Your books are upstairs already and I brought fire whiskey." Draco's voice sounded, disturbing my moment with Theo. "You were upstairs?" I asked, stepping away from Theo.
