CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE:
SUN SHINE DAYS
★★★
It had been the next day since Magnolia had passed out in the small council meeting, and she had been put on bed rest by Jackie. Aurora woke that morning and untangled herself from Harry with a sickening feeling in her stomach. She didn't sleep as well as she usually did when Harry was with her – ever since they returned, she had this weird uncomfortable feeling in her stomach. She put it down to nerves over the Ministry situation. By the time she was fully awake, showered and dressed, the sickening feeling had left her body as she left the room.
Louis and her walked down the steps in the castle.
"What's the history between you and brown eyes?" Louis asked.
She glanced at him, knowing who meant. "Never took you for a gossip?"
Louis rolled his eyes, but there was no annoyance in his face. "Well I want to know. Can he trusted?"
"Very much so," Aurora replied without a second thought of the question. She knew if anyone else was here that they would have told him otherwise, and she understood why. "I don't know much about really anything but I do know . . . or I feel like I know that he would do what it takes to help me."
"Well he did come here for one purpose." Louis eyed her. "To fight in a war. . . for you."
As they walked down the second flight of stairs, they are greeted with Beckham and Luke.
"Good morning," Beckham greets cheerfully. "Today is going to be a good day, I can feel it, can you feel it?"
Gleefully Luke adds, "I can feel it, Beckham, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping. . .and most importantly Sirius and Aurora sat at the dinner table last night beside each other, and actually exchanged words. This means that today and perhaps more days going forward are going to be good. I can feel it."
She did not reply to Luke's declaration but she did roll her eyes. Her and Sirius weren't back to normal, and they were far from it. If anything, it had her thinking that maybe they wouldn't ever go back to being like that again. Maybe she wanted it to though, she really did. She found herself thinking of what would happen after she was finished with everything, she couldn't imagine not seeing Sirius or Magnolia.
"How about you, Louis, do you think it's going to be a good day?" Luke looked at him.
