I, Envy → Harry Potter | √

eleven ; first kiss

The night provided them with an eerie silence but the cries of Harry tore through it like a bone tearing through flesh. Envy had tears of her own shimmering in her artic blue eyes but she blinked them back. She couldn't cry now, she knew she had to be strong for Harry. Connor weaved his fingers with hers and gave her a tight squeeze. She looked over to him and smiled. His eyes shimmered with tears. Envy squeezed his hand back.

Envy watched as McGonagall raise her wand in the air and a bright light shone from it. Soon everyone raised their own wands, following McGonagall's actions. No words were needed. The sadness in the air was evident, the choking sorrow that floated through the air was noticeable. Envy could feel it all, and wondered if she felt this way, how did Harry feel?

"I'm telling you!" Harry yelled out, grabbing Envy by her wrist. He looked enraged, and it terrified Envy. "It was Snape! Not Draco!" He let go when he noticed Envy's terrified stare and his expression softened. "I'm sorry Envy. I just...." Harry swallowed hard. "It's hard. We only have destroyed four Horcruxes so far and you still refuse to tell me what the eighth one is."

"I can't tell you Harry, I'm not the one who's supposed to tell you." Envy rubbed her wrist and prepared to leave. She couldn't be with Harry when he's this angry.

"What is that supposed to mean? Aren't you the one who found about this all?" It was Hermione who spoke as Envy picked up her books and stuffed them in her backpack.

"I never did say I was the only one who knew. Besides I'm not the one who is supposed to tell Harry. I'm not the right person for it." Envy sighed. "I just can't tell you Harry, you'll find out from the right person at the right time. I promise." Envy then picked up her things and headed for the door.

"And when exactly will that be?" Harry asked and Envy stopped in her tracks. "We don't have time!"

"I don't know when it will be." Envy took a deep breath in. "I wish I can tell you Harry, I really do but I can't. Just know that it's right beneath your nose, don't trust everyone blindly Harry. It might cost you your life." Envy left them both confused but she couldn't say more. She already said too much. She couldn't tell Harry what the eight Horcrux is. It isn't as easy as telling him that he's the seventh Horcrux.

"I wish this was a nightmare you know. At least then I could wake up and it would soon be forgotten during the day." Envy muttered that evening as she and Connor sat at the window and stared out to the peaceful night sky. The death of Dumbledore had taken a toll on the school. All the students were sad, but not as heartbroken as Harry. Before Sirius and Remus came, Dumbledore was the only father figure Harry had and now he's gone.

"I do too." Connor sighed and lovingly ran his fingers through Envy's hair. "What do you think the future holds for...us?"

"If I don't die, I belive we'll get married. Have and at least three children and name one Albus in memory of Professor Dumbledore. Maybe one after my mom but not my dad. He was a vile man. And grow old together."

"I was thinking the same thing. Mostly." Connor chuckled lightly and Envy joined in. She sat up straight and looked Connor in the eyes and smiled.

"I know I don't say this much often but I love you Connor Crane. And I'm glad I had the chance to meet you and I'm extremely proud to call you my boyfriend." Before Connor could even begin to form a sentence, Envy closed the little space between them and kissed his pinkish lips.

Their kiss was slow but full of passion and Envy could tell how much Connor wanted her and Connor could tell how much she wanted him. They only pulled away when they needed to catch their breaths.

"That was amazing." Connor commented and Envy giggled. He looked completely flustered. His face was a shade of red and his lips as well.

"My dearest apologies for waiting that long." Envy smiled at him and Connor smiled.

"I'm glad I waited that long Miss Belva. And I love you more than you can imagine. If I could, I'd wake up every morning and yell out how I love you." He gently pecked her lips.

"Then I'm glad I made you wait." She kissed him again, this time it felt more than amazing. Envy weaved her slender fingers through his hair and pulled him closer to deepen the kiss. "I love you." Envy mumbled and smiled.
