The waves crashed against the rocks and Sera looked out at it and breathed it all in deeply. Her morning had been filled with knitting and talking with her grandmother and watching her brother play with his friend while Katie read a book in a chair somewhere. Now she was meeting her significant other for lunch in town. A bulgarian Quidditch player by the name of Antoni Krum they were soon to be engaged and he was in town for a little while. A hand crept in hers and she laced her fingers with his. She smiled at him as he flipped a page in his book. Something about being an effective politician. He didn't notice her and she watched him for a moment. He took the pencil out from behind his ear and underlined a sentence picking the book up with his free hand he continued reading. He must have felt her watching him because he looked up at her.
"What?" he said laying the book down.
"Nothing, I was just watching you is all. But not in the creep way in the normal I like your face kind of way."
He chuckled running a hand through his goatee and raising a "mysterious" brow. " Really?"
She touched his nose. " Really."
He picked his book back up. " Well, it's a good thing you like my face since you have to see it alot. I like your face too no worries. As a matter of fact I like everything about you. I think I'd like to keep you."
She took his book and closed it. " Is that so?"
He winked. " You bet it is."
She remembered their last three days together. They had seen each other mid-afternoon and after dinner. He had even taken her out shopping in Tinworth. Together they played tourist and tried on silly hats and took ridiculous pictures and even swam a bit. Tomorrow they would go sailing and she was to have dinner on Friday at his family's home. She was very fond of this boy. It pained her she couldn't bring him own like he was so courageously bringing her.
She laid down and snuggled close to him. Unusual for her to initiate affection of the sort.
He looked down at her and pulled her closer. "What are you thinking?"
"Just that I wish this wasn't going to be so hard."
He kissed her temple. " It will be alright. I don't have to have dinners at your families or anything like that until you're ready to take me there. And until I learn how to fight off scary telekinetic mothers, brothers, and once death eater father. You know. I mean do you know that you THE dark lord's granddaughter? That's some scary stuff. Your grandpa-creepy bloke."
She just rolled her eyes and closed them.
She gasped and sat up as a rain drop fell.
He stirred and looked up. " Oh bloody hell."
Thunder rolled and the bottom fell out of the sky.
They were soaked in seconds.
She laughed and threw her hands in the air and began to dance.
He frantically tried to gather their things and she didn't even care.
He watched her as she twirled around in the rain and smiled dropping the stuff.
Walking to her he picked up her up and she put her arms around her neck.
He put his hand behind her head and brought her lips to his.
It wasn't hesitant at all despite it being their first and her first. It was sweet and salty. Gentle and rough. And she felt nothing but bliss.
"I couldn't help it. You just you're so beautiful. Your soul, Sera it's what makes me want to be around you and I miss you when I am not around you and I just couldn't stop myself."
She put her fingers to his lips. "Never apologize. Do it again."
He kissed her finger and then her lips.
She liked it a lot she had to admit.
Finally he pulled away and she rested his forehead on hers. She wasn't sure why she was shaking, but she was. She couldn't help but smile and he was too.
"Can we dance now?" she said in almost a whisper and he smiled back at her and set her down. With a twirl he spun her around and brought her to him. Slowly they danced to the sound of the rain their eyes locked on one another.
"I won't make the same mistake my father did." he said his voice low.
"What's that?" Sera asked.
"Letting an Obolesnky girl go. I'll fight for you until the bitter end."
"You don't have to fight for me, Liam. I won't let rules and things stop us from what we have. You get me when no one else does it seems like. You get why I mash my peas or why I don't like cotton balls and you understand I am socially inept and extremely neurotic, and a little shy. And yet you like me anyways. I will fight for you, Liam Weasley if I have to."
He smiled and kissed her gently. " I think this means we're more than real friends?"
She nodded. " You bet it does, but there is no right time to tell my dad."
"When we're so sure we can't live without each other. That's when."
She agreed. " Alright. Sounds good. Meanwhile we can warm them up to the idea."
"I can deal with that. I don't like the secrecy, but I know what where you're coming from."
"I am so sorry." she said sadly
"Don't be. I know you're not ashamed of me."
"Never. I can't even fathom how someone like you could like someone like me. I mean I was jealous of your sister when I saw her at the party. I thought she was your girl friend and I figured as much because you deserve beauty and poise like that. Not socially awkward, and wealthy and therefore graceful by upbringing."
He rolled his eyes. " Sera, you need to clean your mirrors my darling. I am an undeserving man. You're beyond anything I expected and now you're mine and I am yours. Be secure in that."
They were silence for a minute. " That was my first kiss." she blurted out. "I've never had a beau before."
He was a little shocked. " Are you serious?"
"Yes, I am. Plenty have asked, but I don't settle."
He smiled and pulled her into a hug and kissed her again. " Seriously, Sera you don't even know what that means to me."
She smiled and they danced until the rain stopped.
They headed for home in opposite directions.
She called to him before he walked off and he turned around.
" It won't be like this forever, Liam."
He blew her a kiss and she caught it and ran off for home.
Soaking wet she snuck in the back and up to her room.
Katie was waiting.
"What happened?"
Sera smiled. " Well we were napping I suppose and it started to rain. And it was so warm and so refreshing that I just began to dance. And the next thing I know he has me in his arms and he is kissing me and then we danced together until the rain stopped."
"You, after 20 years of age, finally got snogged and by one of the most handsome blood traitors of all time?"
Sera nodded. " Yes!"
Katie squealed. " My oh my. You're serious about him aren't you? And it's only been a month."
"I don't know yet, but I think we're headed more towards exclusive ground."
"Just say it Liam Weasley is your boyfriend."
Just hearing it made her so happy. Joy was radiating from her and she was so happy.
"Yes, he is."
