I don't own Harry potter, I do however own Nyx.
After his shower Harry's remorseful attitude disappeared. He put on the pajamas she gave him and picked up his clothes. He heard feet lightly padding across the floor and opened the door. She smiled at him and took the clothes from him. He smiled and waited for her. "Are you hungry?" She asked him over the hum of the washing machine. "Starving." He replied. "Do you want to order something or cook?" She asked as she stood in front of him.
He took in her appearance. She was wearing a tee shirt with a cartoon character on it, some polka dot shorts that were almost hidden under the shirt and slippers that went all the way up calves. Her curly hair was is a messy bun on top of her head. "I- uh..." He stammered. "How about we order food and make cookies?" She asked him. He regained his composure. "Sounds brilliant."
"What kind of take out do you want?"
"I'll eat whatever you eat."
"Is Chinese okay?"
"Fine by me."
She smiled at him and gave him a hug. He looked down shocked. Her head rested perfectly on his chest. He sighed and hugged her back tighter. "Will you stay with me?" She asked seriously. "Yeah Nyx. I'll stay for as long as you want." He said smiling. "Let's eat." She said grinning ear to ear. He nodded as she picked up the phone and ordered their food.
After she was finished she took out a mixing bowl and started making cookie dough. "I've never had fresh baked cookies before." Harry stated. She gaped at him. "My mum used to make them all the time for me before she died." Nyx said smiling. "My mum died before I could remember." Harry said. "I bet that's horrible. You have no memories to keep her alive." Nyx said as she put the cookie batter onto the baking pan.
"How did she die?"
"They were murdered. Her and my dad." Harry said wincing.
"I'm sorry, my mother was driving late at night during a storm and some drunk slammed into her."
"That must be hard to deal with."
"It is sometimes. Then I draw or paint or play something, and everything gets better." She said with a certain sadness in her eyes. Harry nodded. "Its weird you know, you're the only person I can talk to about this... Without getting really upset." Nyx said softly. Harry smiled. "You can talk to me all you want. Your voice makes all the things I have to deal with a little bit better." He said truthfully. "I'm glad to be able to help you at all." She responded.
The doorbell echoed through the house and Nyx shuffled off to get her wallet before opening the door. Harry followed behind her and took the food bags from her while she paid. "This smells so good." Harry said smiling while Nyx unpacked the food. She handed him two plates and 2 forks and spoons. "I'm going to go get the cookies." She said and walked to the kitchen. Harry waited for her to eat. A few minutes later she came back with a plate of cookies and two bottles of soda. "You didn't have to wait..." She said as she sat down. "I know, but I wanted to." He said. She smiled at him and filled up their plates with rice and chicken.
Harry smiled as he ate. She had barely started and he was on his second plate. She laughed and picked rice off his face. "Slow down." She warned him with a giggle. He nodded and tried to slow his pace down but his appetite got the better of him. Pretty soon she was full on laughing at him. "What?" He asked. "You have sauce all on your nose, ha ha." She laughed out. He wiped his nose. "Did I get it?" He asked and she shook her head. After many failed attempted she lifted her hand and wiped it off for him. "There..." She said letting her hand linger. He put her hand down and muttered "thanks" before picking his fork back up.
After she finished her plate she reached for a cookie. "What you want to do now?" She asked Harry. He shrugged. "Well there's the telly or maybe a movie?" She asked. "It doesn't matter to me, I never get to watch either of them." He said. Nyx nodded and walked him down stairs to the room where they first walked in. "I like watching scary movies. If you honestly don't mind." She said. "Watch what you want." He replied back to her.
He sat on the couch while she put the movie a on. She came back and sat next to him. "We're going to watch Monster's Inc. It's my favorite." She said as she laid her head down on his chest. She clapped and the lights went off. "Nyx, this is all... Thank you." Harry said taking her hands in his. "I can't explain this comfort I get when I'm in your presence. I don't think I could ever thank you enough Nyx." She stared at him with her enchanted gray eyes.
She leaned into him and pressed her lips to his. Harry didn't move for a minute, shocked and kissed her back softly. After the kisses became heated they each pulled away to take a deep gulp of air she laid her head on his chest. "No, Harry. Thank you for being here." She said closing her eyes. He soon closed his eyes and nodded off.
