Under My Skin

Chapter Forty Two

"Reunited."

The group of friends were made to wait all night. Just like before Ember did not leave until she was able to see him. For some reason sitting on the other side of that door a spark that had only recently died came back.

It worried her. Part of her feared Kieran would be angered that she even wanted to see him. Nevertheless Madame Pomfrey opened the doors. Faced with the Dynasty's all sat on the floor cuddled into eachother. Athalias head laid in Embers lap as Scorpius was currently drooling on her shoulder. Delilah curled up in Scorpius's lap with Embers arm interlaced with hers. Even Arabella was there. Lying her head on Embers other thigh as she slept between her and Scorpius.

Ember was the only one awake. Considering it was so early in the morning. "Guys wake up." Ember urged, shaking them all awake. Scorpius sat up and wiped the drool from his chin. Cringing with an awkward smile when he saw the wet spot on Embers shirt. The group stood and rushed into the infirmary to find Kieran sat up in the bed. "Em." His eyes gleamed with adoration.

Embers breath hitched in her throat. "I don't know how but he remembers. His memories came back." Madame Pomfrey explained to the stunned group. Athalia bolted to his side and threw her arms around her. His twin sisters shoulder shaking as she cried out happily into his shoulder.

He squeezed her tightly and rubbed her back. "I missed you so much big little brother." The group could barely hear her. Kieran chuckled with a big toothy grin. "Awww you missed me." He taunted her. She slapped his chest in response. "No I didn't, I was lying, you were just a huge asshole up until now." Athalia wiped her face free from tears while backing away. The entire group slightly shivered at the reminder of it.

Kieran sat up and hissed quietly. Scorpius approved the bed with his hands in his pockets. "Hi, I'm Scorpius." The man held his hand out to him. Kieran looked down at his hand and then back up at his face. "Dude he remembers us." Arabella rolled her eyes at her idiotic older brother. "Hey, don't be so mean you'll stress him out!" Scorpius hollered at her.

Meanwhile Ember was still stood in the same spot. Her feet felt like they were stuck to the floorboards. "Salazar you are such a dumbass!" Arabella shot back, rubbing her hands down her face. Scorpius gasped and took hold of Kieran's hand.

"Don't fucking curse in front of him! He's confused!" Athalia looked between the two siblings with a completely natural expression. She was used to this by now. "Children! Language!" Madame Pomfrey scolded the Malfoy teens. "Sorry Madame Pomfrey." Arabella smiled sweetly and spoke in a light tone. "Oh it's quite alright deary." The old woman smiled at her in return. That was Arabella's secret talent. She was born to be an actress.

"Do you, like, wanna be bestfriends?" Scorpius awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. Kieran's face broke out in a huge smile and they both broke out in a fit of laughter. "Fuck man! I've missed you!" The Malfoy boy hugged his bestfriend. Madame Pomfrey sent the group a stern glare again.

"I was still here." Kieran reminded them all. Though he couldn't remember that period of time he knew he was still alive. "Yeah but you were a huge dick. Like worse than Marcus Flint." Delilah added in. Kieran's eyes widened before they settled on Ember. A flimsy smile on his lips. Ember wiped her hands on her thighs before stepping closer.

"Hey." Her voice was as timid as her movements. He slightly chuckled at her. "Hey princess." Just as the words came from his mouth she crumbled. Rushing over to him and placing her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her head repeatedly. She cried and cried until she could finally speak. "I don't know if I could've repaired myself is you would've woken up to hate me again." Ember admitted and their looked down at her sadly.
