Black Love - Fantastic Beasts

Part 28

Credence smiles unknowingly at the memory.

His vivid memory of first time riding a broomstick.

He was frightened at first, clutching to Casey's arm so tightly, afraid that he may fall. However, when they reached the height of 200 M above the ground, being able to see the whole scenery of Newt's place, Credence never feel better.

He felt free.
Yes.
Infinite freedom.
He never think he would enjoy flying so much.

Credence cringes at the thought. A warm feelings flooded his heart. He feels euphoric.

Casey is having lunch at the time. Nowadays, Terry always accompanies her, sitting side by side at the Slytherin table.

They receives glares and sneers occasionally, but they didn't really care. Some of the Gryffindors even talk to Terry about his way-too-friendly attitude with Casey, but he told them what he did is the right thing. To set example on a good house unity.

His plan work eventually. As Terry, the most popular boy in the school is not ashame or afraid to befriend with someone from his rival house, many students especially the younger ones start to follow his lead.

They can be seem occasionally discussing notes and assignments with other houses, sit together during classes and even cheer own houses in Quidditch while sitting side by side.

Terry may not realize this as he is too preoccupied with Casey's ability to read minds. Sometimes he didn't speak at all, only use his inner voice to talk to Casey, making it seems like Casey is doing all the talk.

Or sometimes, he would ask Casey to read other's mind just for fun. Just to know what others have been thinking.

Casey refused to do it at first, but then, she started to do it as she cannot stand with all those pleads from Terry. Then they both would laugh their heart out from listening to gibberish thoughts from their fellow schoolmates.

For the first time in her life, Casey feels good to have someone by her side.
To have a friend.

She would still dissapear sometimes, visiting Credence with every opportunity she had, leaving Terry with confusion and anxiety.

She never tell him about Credence. She doesn't think he could keep it a secret. If Credence were to be known by others, the MoM may take him away.

And Casey cannot bear to let him go away.
