The Phoenix and His Basilisk (Completed)

Tan Pebbles for Dependability

Harry cuddled up to Tom, who was dozing off. Orange and yellow leaves fell around them, and Harry's black wings burnt any that dared touch his precious bundle.

Tom's face scrunched up and he turned. Harry looked at him adoringly, and nuzzled his neck. Their scent glands rubbed together and Harry shuddered, looking at Tom with a pleased look. Tom purred quietly and burrowed deeper into Harry's embrace.

Luna came in the clearing, holding a bleeding rabbit. She quietly sat down on a log nearby, and healed the poor thing with her long, spiraled horn.

Harry watched her, as she held the rabbit to her chest, casting cleaning spells all the while.

"Harry? I think we should go somewhere today," she said softly. Her eyes were distant like they always were, but her voice was dreamier than usual.

"How about the beach? Along the way, we can have our usual lessons."

Eveline crashed through the trees. "Did I hear a beach?"

Harry shushed her, looking down at Tom who stirred. He sighed again when Tom didn't seem to be waking up. (A/N: He protecc, he attacc and most importantly, he heats Tom's bacc 😂😂)

He glared at Eveline who looked sheepish. "Sorry. I think it's a good idea. We need to get a change of scenery."

Harry looked at the Tom, who's legs were wrapped around Harry's waist.

"Well, it did seem like a good idea at first but it's autumn. Tom will be freezing."

Eveline stared at him, but then turned away as if disappointed. "Well, I guess we will never see what Tom looks like in a swimming suit," she sighed.

Harry abruptly looked at her. "Let's go. We're going to the beach."

//////////////// ( Time Skip )////////////

Harry hoisted Tom higher on his back. Tom snuggled deep into his neck.

Harry blushed, and his feathers heated up, making Tom purr.

Eveline smirked at him. Luna giggled.

The omega on his back finally woke up after he rubbed his scent gland against Harry's.

"Where are we going?" He asked quietly. Tom was extremely docile and shy when he woke up.

Harry grinned. "We're going to the beach."

Tom frowned cutely, rubbing his eyes. Harry wanted to kiss the pout on his face. "But I just woke up."

"Sorry about that. Harry insisted we go immediately. It's almost noon now," Eveline said, looking back. Luna was ahead of them all, skipping and singing a song that was apparently about Nargles.

Eveline stared at her in adoration.

Harry snickered. "She has you in the palm of her hand."

Eveline glared at him.

"At least, I'm not wrapped around Tom's fingers."

Harry blushed, and he almost dropped said naga. "W-w-what?!"

Th Chimera smirked, before she used her wings to swoop up Luna in her arms and fly away, laughing.

Harry growled, and Tom maneuvered himself so he was looking at Harry.

"C'mon, birdie. You can beat Eveline, can't you?" He whispered.

Harry flushed, and his hair caught on fire. His black wings spread and he leapt into the sky.
