Chapter Fourteen: My First 'I Love You'
Keisha's POV
I was laying with Henry in the fresh green grass by the black lake, my bare feet were dangling into the water one hand was resting on my stomach the other one was busy being held by Henry's his strong but soft hand held mine his ring clad fingers were entwined with mine, his fingernails were painted all black where as mine were bright electric blue with black tips. His other hand was underneath his head, his black hair perfectly styled into a black faux-hawk. I know everyone thinks he's some flaming poofter but he's not. He just likes being well dressed and flaunting his individuality, even if that means wearing a little bit of guyliner.
"This is nice." He whispered looking over at me, I looked at him too smiling, Henry is very quickly becoming my best friend, I nodded my head,
"Yeah it is." I whispered, he sat up and looked at me smiling,
"Hey, I want to surprise you with something." I groaned I had been enjoying lying out in my shorts with my toes in the lake. He tugged me up to my feet allowing me to stick my bare feet back into my black cowboy boots. I held his hand as he lead me back to the Slytherin locker room where all their brooms where stored, Henry was one of the Slytherin Chasers and up for captain next year when Flint graduates. He opened the Broom case and took out his Firebolt and lead me out the pitch,
"What are we doing?" I asked nervous stuffing my hands into the front pockets of my shorts; he smiled devilishly mounting his broom,
"Flying, common, get on." He encouraged, I made a face at him, he knows I have a fear of heights, "Please Keisha, I want to take you flying." I sighed, I trust this kid too much. I got on the back of the broom behind him wrapping my arms securely around his middle, "Hold on tight."
"No arguments here." I muttered pressing my face into the back of his shoulder as he pushed off into the air. I could feel the wind whipping past us until he finally stopped the broom. I timidly pulled my face out his shoulder he was looking back at me,
"You okay?" He asked, I nodded my head looking down, we were currently floating about a hundred feet over the Dark Forest, I pressed my face back into his shoulder causing him to chuckle before taking my tattooed hand,
"I hate heights?" I whispered, he squeezed my hand that was still firmly wrapped around my middle, I could feel him kiss my tattoo softly,
"I know, but I know how much you want to fly, so I wanted you to fly." I looked up at him biting my lip,
"But I'm terrified of falling." He smiled softly kissing my lips gently,
"So let me be you're wings." He whispered still holding my hands around his middle I smiled,
"Okay." I whispered, being up this high away from the rest of the world, our world that didn't want us together. A world that thought he should be dating Picea Malfoy, a world that thought a Slytherin and a Gryffindore would never last. A world where our families hate each other for each other's blood, up here we're just Henry and Keisha, two people who just love each other.
"I love you." He whispered, nuzzling his nose against mine, this was the first time Henry ever said those three little words, he always told me he hated the idea of loosing me because he cares for me so much. He never said he loved me before, granted neither had I.
"I love you too." I whispered back smiling, this is a great feeling, now I understand why Vice would kill anyone who hurt Manda or why Tessa always got that goofy smile when she talks about Cal. He kissed me soundly,
"I'll always be there for you. I'll never let you fall." He whispered gently I smiled looking down at the fairy wings on my hand,
"You'll always be my wings, Henry." I said looking at him smiling; I had never felt like this before. He kissed me hard on the lips,
"Ready to go back down?" He asked and I nodded, this time I wasn't scared to watch the flight back, and the decent, I knew Henry wouldn't let anything bad happen to me. Once we reached the landing we walked back to the quiditch lockers so he could put his broom away. We made our way back to the school hand in hand where there was a fight going on involving Scorpius Malfoy and Albus Potter.
"Shit." Henry muttered hurrying over the fight, myself only a few steps behind him.
"Keep your bloody hands off my sister Malfoy!" Albus screamed, James pushed his way through the crowd trying to break up the fight just like Henry.
"Piss off Potter!" Scorpius shouted back as Henry grasped him around the neck trying to drag him away, James had Albus in a full nelson trying to pull him away. Once the two were separated I saw Picea making her way over to us,
"What were you thinking Scorpius?" She sheethed grabbing his jaw with her perfectly manicured nails, I looked down at mine; they were poorly done next to hers, "Look at you, you have a huge black eye now." Scorpius winced, I couldn't blame him, the beautiful blonde Picea Malfoy is no one to make angry. Lilly came out of the crowd of people throwing herself into Scorpius' arms,
"Are you okay?" she asked hugging him. Lilly is a beauty to behold in her own right, she could be a contender for Picea the most gorgeous girl at Hogwarts. Lilly is fourteen, but she has porcelain skin, a light dusting of freckles, sleek long black curls, that normally looked messy. She had Uncle Harry's bright emerald green eyes full of life and lined with long black lashes. She is soft and willowy like Aunt Ginny as well as her mother's full soft pink lips.
"Nothing a trip to the Medical wing can't fix." He muttered, she touched the black eye tenderly,
"Sorry about Albus. I didn't think he would be such an older brother." He smiled hugging her tightly,
"It's okay, he hasn't scared me off of you." She smiled holding him tightly too,
"I'm glad." Picea huffed,
"He needs to go to see Madame Abott." I nodded in agreement,
"He should go, Merlin only knows what all Albus did to Scorpius." Picea nodded her head thanking me,
"Thank you, someone with common sense." One thing I've learned about Picea is that she may seem like the biggest snob and pain in the arse ever, but she usually is so out of love for Scorpius, call it older sister syndrome. Henry had experience the older brother side of it from Fred after it came out we're dating. Fred never laid hands on him, but he did let him know that if Henry hurt me that no one would miss him. Everyone takes a threat from a Weasley man seriously. Henry looked at me,
"I think I'm glad Fred never pounded me for dating you." I giggled knowing he is right. Fred's a beater on the quiditch team just like Dad, only meaner.
