Storms Ahead

|Chapter fifty four : Visiting|

"What's that? Off in the distance? Could it be? It is! My last fuck, disappearing over the horizon. Be free old friend, be free" I sighed as I stared out the window, Oscar standing next to me as I looked at Adam in the reflection of the window who stood with a slightly amused look

"I literally wanted you to just stop leaving the back door open"

"But it's not even cold!"

"I'm cold!"

"And I couldn't give a fuck about what you want or how the weather affects you. Because I don't have any left"

"Fuck you"

"Fuck you-"

"Can you two please stop saying 'fuck'?"

"No can do my friend, no can do" I grinned at Adam while looking at Astra outside in the garden, galloping around happily as I felt a soft bite to my leg

"Oscar, if that's you I'm going to knock your teeth down your throat" looking down I laughed before picking Lula up as she curled up in my arms, head on shoulder as she started purring loudly

"I missed you too lovely-"

"Floo!"

"Excuse me?"

"The fire place is alive and running!" Adam shouted from the living room as me and Oscar both looked at each other confused before going through as I stared at the fireplace which was spurting green flames

"When did you even come through here?"

"When Amelia thought it was you biting her leg-"

"You thought what?!"

"Nothing! Now shut up, I want to see who this is" I said to Oscar as he turned his head to me and eventually a figure tumbled out, landing on the floor in a heap as I started laughing

"Wow.... should've knew it'd be you"

"Chit chat later, care to help me up?"

"You can get up yourself asshole"

"I'm lazy"

"You're always lazy" I told Blaise laughing as he looked at me with a grin as I held my hand out and pulled him up, Lula still in my arm as I tried to carefully wipe soot from his face with a laugh

"So, what do you want?"

"I need help with homework-"

"You have to be fucking kidding me-"

"Nope. History of magic" he told me with a grin as I stared at him blankly as I looked at Adam exasperatedly, a grin growing nonetheless as he stared at Blaise

"I've had to put up with him for a year-"

"Rude-"

"No it's not-"

"Who're you?"

"Adam!"

"What? I'm only asking" he said quietly while shrugging slightly as he stared at Blaise while he turned to me, smiling at Lula as he looked at me amused and I put her down as she ran over to him

"Adam. This is Blaise"

"Oh, okay"

"That's all you say?!" I asked laughing as he grinned at me before I turned to Blaise

"Do you have your stuff?"

"No. It's at my house"

"Does this mean I get to come round?"

"Yes-"

"Then for that, I won't call you a dipshit" I told him as I walked over to the fireplace with him as I gave him the tray of floo powder

"Hey! Wait a minute! Amelia, you're meant to be packing!"

"I'll do that when I come back-"

"You're also meant to be seeing Jayden and Ali later-"

"When I come back- go go go" I ushered to Blaise as we were whisked away in a second, landing on the floor of a vast living room as something ran into me and I let out a shout

"Blaise Zabini get the fuck off of me you bastard!"

"I'm not- what? Merlins beard- Thalia! Let go!" Looking down I watched as a small body was pried off of me and a high laugh rang around the room as Blaise walked away, ditching her at the other side of the room before coming back, her at his heels

"What do you want Thalia? Go play with your dolls or something- just- back off- let go!" He shouted as he tried to push her off as he picked her up before letting go of her and letting her drop down onto a heap on the floor as she let out a scream

"Stop screaming, you're not going to be heard-"

"Blaise?"

"Lia, I am so sorry-"

"Lia!"

"I- um, hello" I smiled as she pushed past Blaise and ran at me as I stared at her with wide eyes as she latched onto me, looking up with a grin on her face, bright hazel eyes and long, straight dark brown hair as she started laughing as I looked to Blaise with a grin as I picked her up

"I love her"

"I love you too-"

"Thalia, you don't know her"

"I don't care-"

"Go and sit over there quietly before I tell mum that you're being a little brat again-"

"Go ahead, she won't listen to you-"

"You want a bet?"

"A sickle-"

"That's a pathetic amount-"

"So?!"

"So sit over there, the other side of the room and look after your dolls before I break their heads off-" he told her quietly with a look of genuine annoyance on his face as she let out a scream, scrunching my face up as she dropped down and I rubbed my ear as she ran over to the other side and sat on an armchair, clutching dolls as tightly as she could as he looked at me with a sigh

"I'm sorry. She's a prick-"

"I think she's great-"

"She's spoilt. Also, I don't have homework, I just didn't want to be here by myself with her" he admitted quietly before I sat down next to him and gave him a smile

"Understandable"
