"Harry what was that all about?" Anne demanded the next morning when Harry and Nikki walked into the kitchen for breakfast. "Last night"

"Good morning to you too" Harry mumbled but Anne's glare told him that she wasn't in the mood for messing around. "That farmer forced himself on Nikki and then had the balls to blame her and call her a...bitch whore" he told his mother angrily.

"Really?" Anne asked in shock, looking to Nikki who was nodding slightly.

"God knows what he might have done to her if I hadn't stopped it" Harry added and turned to Nikki "Did you feel like he wanted more?"

Nikki just nodded and reached up to stroke his arm gently.

"It's all over now" she told him quietly "Please just leave it"

"Nikki he live twenty minutes from the village" Harry explained and Nikki shook her head and sighed loudly "What?"

"Can't you just leave it? He won't do it again"

"How do you know that?" Harry asked her quietly "He's had his eye on you since we first came here"

"And I said no" Nikki told her boyfriend who just shrugged and scoffed at her.

"Like he would take no for an answer, he's larger and much stronger than you Nikki and if he decides he.."

"Harry stop it" Nikki shouted at him as she turned around and slammed her empty mug onto the table, causing both Anne and Harry to jump slightly. Whatever Nikki was about to say was interrupted by the doorbell ringing and Anne excusing herself to answer it. Nikki just glared at her boyfriend and turned around to finish pouring out her own coffee.

"Nikki I'm sorry" Harry whispered, making no move to walk over to her and touch her "I'm worried, I'm scared for you"

"Harry, Nikki come here please" Anne called from the living room and both teenagers did as they were told, frowning when they saw an older man standing looking around the room nervously. Nikki recognised him from the market when she had been with the horses. "This is Audric's father"

"Really" Harry replied dryly and the man shook his head.

"I am sorry for the way my son behaved" he told them, his accent strong "I did not bring him up to act like that and he has shamed me for doing so, I have sent him off to his Uncle's in Paris"

"You didn't have.."

"Yes I did, I do not want you to have to...be scared of him while you are here. He has been trouble before and I said last time that he would go if anything else happened" the older man told them all and Anne nodded in understanding. "He did not believe me and he must learn"

"Thank you" Harry told the older farmer and gripped Nikki's hand in his.

"I am sorry if he hurt you" this was directed towards Nikki who shook her head.

"No, I was just a bit shaken"


"You're going to burn" Harry told Nikki a few hours later as they sat in the park. It was the same park that they had used a few days previously and both teenagers were glad to be out of the village for a short while. They'd made a quick picnic before they had left and the food was scattered around them on the blanket that they were sitting on underneath a tree. "Sun cream?"

"Please" Nikki nodded as she moved forward slightly and away from his chest, still sitting in between his legs as she took the bottle from him and began to smear it on her legs.

"I can do that"

Nikki giggled and shook her head at him, turning slightly to see the hopeful look on his face.

"You can do my back" she told him and handed him the bottle of sun cream "and I mean my back"

"Yes ma'am" Harry laughed and Nikki hissed slightly as he squeezed some of the suntan lotion onto her back, before he began to rub it in gently. "You smell good enough to eat" he then told her as he sniffed her skin, the combination of her perfume and the sun cream making a very nice smell.

"Maybe later" Nikki chuckled as she finished rubbing the sun cream into her legs, a smirk making its way onto her face as she heard Harry laugh. She then leant back against his chest again and let Harry squeeze some suntan lotion onto her arm, before rubbing it in gently, her skin already slightly red. "You should put some on"

"I don't burn"

"That's not the point" Nikki rolled her eyes and Harry chuckled as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head, going back to rubbing in the excess sun cream and then moving to Nikki' other arm. "Thank you"

"You're welcome, I don't want you to burn. I'd never hear the end of it" Harry chuckled and Nikki turned her head to glare at him before turning back to her original position and leaning her head back against his chest, Harry wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his hands on her stomach, plucking at her yellow dress slightly. "I love you"

"I love you" Nikki replied with a large smile on her face as she looked up at him "What do you want for your birthday?"

"Nikki it's in October" Harry shook his head and rolled his eyes "That's ages away"

"I need to know" Nikki pouted, but Harry just shook his head again and leant down to press a soft kiss onto the top of her head, resting his chin on the same spot. She already had some idea about what she was going to give him, she just didn't know if he would want it or not.

"You know we'll probably be in all the same classes at school" Harry commented a few minutes later and Nikki nodded "We're doing all the same subjects"

"If we get in"

"Like we won't" Harry scoffed and Nikki giggled at his assurance "We're amazing, of course we'll get the grades"

"Ah you're so modest my dear" Nikki laughed and Harry joined her and nodded "and to make it a lot better a select few people won't be back"

"Good" Harry replied, kissing the top of her head again, both knowing that the days of her being bullied were done with.

"What about your old friends?"

"They wanted to go somewhere else" Harry shrugged and entwined their hands together, brining Nikki's hand to his mouth so he could kiss it gently "and there will be new people there to make friends with, people who actually want to be there and share interests"

"What are you going to do?" Nikki giggled "Enchant them with your special magic?"

Harry scoffed and nodded.

"It has been known"

"Oh really"

"Well I enchanted you didn't I?" he laughed "actually that was defiantly the other way around"

"Really?"

"Yep" Harry nodded, leaning down and kissing Nikki gently on the lips as she turned her head to look at him. "Completely enchanted I am"

"Soppy" Nikki giggled, a blush on her face. She loved it when Harry was like this, which was most of the time now she came to think about it.

"You love it" Harry murmured against her lips and Nikki nodded, kissing him gently again.

"Yes I do and I love you"

"I love you" Harry nodded before silencing anything else they were going to say with a kiss.


"We have to go" Harry told his girlfriend some hours later. They had spent the last few hours walking through the large park and around the lake, Harry buying them ice creams, and also through the quaint little town nearby. Nikki having dragged him into the traditional shops while they were there.

"Do we have to?" Nikki sighed as she looked at him, pouting slightly and making Harry chuckled as he nodded and leant down to kiss her.

"Yes we do, the last train is soon"

"We can just sleep here tonight" Nikki laughed as she motioned to the park and Harry rolled his eyes and looked at the trees.

"Yeah that looks like a very comfortable tree right there" he pointed to one and grinned as Nikki giggled loudly "so does that one, we can have one each"

"Git" Nikki muttered good-naturedly before squealing loudly as Harry made a grab for her waist to tickle her, she then started to run through the park in the town and the train station, a laughing Harry hot on her heels. Harry however was quicker than her and had more stamina and when Nikki stopped and turned around he quickly caught up with her and scooped her easily into his arms, both of them laughing loudly as Nikki looped her arms around his neck.

"I love you"

"I love you" Nikki giggled as Harry nuzzled her cheek and kissed her warm skin gently "Now are you going to take me back?"

"Yes I am" Harry smiled and Nikki grinned at him as he refused to put her on the floor again.

"I do believe we both need showers as well" Nikki smirked and Harry's smile grew into a cheeky grin as he put her on the floor and took her hand in his, guiding her quickly towards the train station.


There will be angst later on, I promise, it won't all be sickly fluff :D. AndI just had to get rid of Audric because you all loved him too much XD
