Chapter Five; New Hope
"Hey Harry, Teddy and Heather just started coloring eggs do you want to join them?" His father questioned him as he came through the door.
"No thanks. I was just looking for Tobey since I wanted to talk to him. Do you know where he is?" he wondered.
"He's your brother, where do you think you'd be if you were depressed?" his father questioned him.
"I should have known." Harry realized with a shake of his head in disbelief. "I'll be back in time for supper." He assured him before he opened the front door again and disapparated as soon as he stepped out of it.
…
Tobey heaved a heavy sigh as he stood up on the bottom half of the railing reaching his arm over the top of the fence so that he could gently stroke Cobalt's face. That's when he heard some apparating behind him and he quickly turned his head as Harry said his name. "Oh hullo Harry, I'm sorry if I worried you." He apologized.
"You did but it was in a completely in a different way." Harry told him. "Dad told me what happened between you guys and I have to say that I'm really worried about you. It's true that I think that Dad should stop treating you like a kid and start treating you like a young adult, but I also think that you should stop trying to grow up so fast." He said.
"I know. You're right Harry I'm sorry. It's just that I really like Jessie and I thought that that's what I was supposed to do to prove that I like her." Tobey explained.
"Listen Tobey you don't have to prove anything to anyone. I think it's great that you and Jessie like each other, but Eve was telling me a story about the outcome of trying to go too fast. I love you Tobey with all of my heart and I've always had. And I've always wanted what's best for you just like Mum did. And I know that she wouldn't want you trying to rush your way through life when you have so many more things to look forward to." Harry told him.
"Like what?" Tobey questioned him as Harry grabbed ahold of his cross necklace and glanced down at it for a few seconds before glancing back up into his bright green eyes.
"Like tomorrow for instance. Not only do we get to celebrate the upcoming birth of Aaron's and Brittany's first child, but we get to celebrate hope at a new life." He told him as Tobey grinned at him.
"Yeah I guess you're right. And when that day comes I won't be blind anymore and I'll be able to see Mum again face to face." He said as Harry grinned back at him.
"Amen to that one." He told him.
"Yeah I know, so what else do you got?" Tobey wondered.
"Well, I know of a certain dragon who would like to get a chance to go out and get some exercise." Harry told him continuing to grin.
"Sounds like a great idea to me." His brother agreed before Harry helped him over the fence and Cobalt bent down so that the boys could climb onto his back.
"Alright boy, you know what to do." Harry told him as the dragon stood up again and stretched his wings before he took flight into the air with a triumphant screech. Harry held his arms out wide and let out a great big loud scream of delight and excitement.
Just a quick note; The actual next episode is supposed to be the Easter one but since Easter is coming up so fast I wont' release it until close to that date. So since this is the unofficial end to season two, don't read the beginning of season three if you don't want spoilers to whether Aaron and Brittany have a new son or daughter. If you don't care about being spoiled be my guest and read away!
