The next day Madma Pomfrey let me leave the hospital ward with Harry. I'll be limping for a little bit since I broke my knee cap, but she gave me a cane to use until it's healed the Muggle way since she used all the magic she could already on it. We found Ginny and Dean as the Gryffindor table, holding hands and giving each other light pecks. I felt genuinely happy that the child would have both his parents.
Dean Arthur Thomas.
Lovesick Gryffindors. I sighed softly and Ginny looked at me with a bright smile on her face, mouthing to me 'Thank you snake.' Harry smiled at the display and kissed my cheek.
"You are too sweet for me." He chuckled.
"Then you give me cavities my prowling Lion."
"Leave that for the bedroom snake."
"Oh, I'll show you a snake." I grinned and Harry blushed faintly, swatting my arm as we sat at the Slytherin table.
I smiled brightly. This was my boyfriend. My love. My Harry. Thank Merlin for the day he found me at the staircase. I may have stumbled, but it was definitely not only a step I missed but a beat of my heart. Every time I look at my loving little lion I feel the one thing I was missing all these years.
Loving a snake sure is fun.
