I'm so sorry it took me so long to update! I have been super busy and my computer picked up a virus. Don't you hate when that happens?
As always I own nothing, only the original charecters.

Chapter Seventeen: Meeting the Zambini's
Keisha's POV
I fidgeted nervously, my portkey to the Zambini manor would activate soon and I would be meeting Henry's parents for the first time and spending the week with them. I clutched my bag of clothes and toiletry's tightly in one hand and the old hat working as a portkey in the other. Mum gave me a large hug,
"It will be okay, I remember Blaise and Daphne from school, and they're nice people." She assured me, Dad gave me a hug next.
"And it's not likely you'll miss the birth of the baby, Manda isn't due for another three months." I grimaced, "And we'll talk about plans for seventh year when you get back." Grandma Molly had been on my case since I took the O.W.L.S. about what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Dad had decided we should come up with some sort of plan before the end of the summer when I start seventh year; just to appease Grandma Molly.
"You're portkey will activate soon." Mum announced backing away I smiled nervously,
"Don't forget to mind your manners." Dad reminded in his dad way. I smiled,
"I won't." Moments after that I felt the familiar tug from behind my navel as the portkey activated. I bit my lip and held my breath hoping that all would go well. I felt myself spinning as the portkey took me to the manor and dumped me on the entry way's marble floor. I groaned from the impact I never had quite mastered the landing of a portkey. I could hear Henry's chuckling at my ungraceful landing. I stood up dusting the imaginary dust off of my shorts and bare legs
"That was graceful." He teased coming over to me wrapping me up in a huge hug. I hugged him back able to smell his cologne. He always smells like cinnamon and soap, and vaguely of cigarettes.
"I'm a fairy what can I say?" I teased back allowing him to hold me, its moments like these I'm glad Henry and I had decided to wait to have sex. The first time I had laid eyes on him I knew there was something different about him. It had felt like time had stopped and we were the only two people in the room. That was when we were first years. We'd partied together for many years before we had decided to start dating. I smiled up at Henry wondering what about him made the world so perfect, in my mind he's what makes this world worth living in.
"I've missed you." He whispered kissing me on the lips softly I kissed him back having missed him the past couple weeks.
"I've missed you too." I whispered relaxing into his welcoming arms, being in his arms feels like being home. I looked up at Henry smiling; I love him most when he's this way. When he isn't gelled up and dressed up. When he's just lounging around and his hair lays naturally.
"My parents will kill me if I keep you to myself any longer." He muttered into my neck pulling away still holding my hand in his. I smiled as he tugged me down the maze of hallways to where a room I assumed was their families sitting room. Henry opened the door and I saw his parents sitting inside. I could tell Henry got most of his looks from his dad. His dad has the same face as him, is tall like Henry, and Henry also has his dad's black hair and dark eyes. But like his mom he has soft pale skin.
"Hi, I'm Daphne." His mom stood up greeting me; I smiled allowing her to wrap me up in a large hug,
"Hi, I'm Keisha." I introduced myself as she released me from her hug, next her dad stepped up to me from his seat on their leather sofa.
"I'm Blaise." I smiled taking his hand as he offered it to me. "Nice to meet you." He greeted I smiled at him
"Nice to meet you too, thank you for having me." I greeted him back he smiled; I could see Henry smiling beside me,
"Oh it isn't a problem at all!" He exclaimed sitting down next to his wife, Henry pulled me down on the other couch next to him still holding my hand,
"So do you have any plans for once you're out of Hogwarts this year." I could feel myself wince at the inevitable question,
"No, not yet." Daphne smiled at me kindly,
"Don't worry about it, my sister Astoria and I didn't know what we wanted to do until Henry was five." I smiled sweetly,
"Really?" she nodded,
"It's true, we both tried being the perfect pureblood house wives, personally it got to be very boring sitting around planning social events all day." I smiled sweetly, wondering what she did.
"So what do you do?" I asked, she chuckled,
"Actually, Astoria and I went into business planning parties, ironic isn't it?" I nodded with a smile on my face, "We'd always enjoyed throwing them in our Hogwarts days and people were willing to pay." I nodded my head, it made sense,
"Do you enjoy doing it?" I asked fidgeting playing with Henry's fingers; she nodded her pretty blonde head,
"We both do, Henry tells us you throw quite the parties too." I blushed nodding my head, my parties were hardly at the same levels of her and her sisters. "Well, if you ever want to give professional party planning a try, let me know." My mouth dropped a little, I had never been made an offer like that.
"It's definitely something I'll have to think about." She smiled sweetly,
"The only thing I'd have to say is take the nose ring out when you go to work, just to make sure you look totally professional." I touched the golden hoop ring in my nose with a small smile,
"Alright." I whispered happily. Later that night I laid in bed with Henry smiling kissing, cuddling and touching. I laid on my back his elbows propping him up on either side of me.
"I'm glad you get along with my parents." He told me whispering to me softly, I smiled. This relationship means the world to me, and I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize it. "I love you Keisha, I love you so much." He told me laying with his face just dangling above mine; he kissed my lips softly, I touched the side of his face.
"I love you too, Henry." He nuzzled his nose against mine. We were laying in bed ready to fall asleep together, him in just his black silk boxer briefs me in a pair of booty shorts and a tank top my long pale legs stretched out on propped up my knee bent slightly as Henry relaxed on top of me cuddling with me,
"I never ever want to lose you." He whispered, and I knew he wasn't lying to me. Henry isn't in some lust induced haze like so many others, he genuinely loves me and I love him back with just as much vigor, because in his big beautiful brown eyes I see my whole world.
"You'll never lose me." I promised him with a kiss upon his lips still just dangling above mine a painful tease. He smiled into the kiss, moving his hand to the back of my head entwining with my curls at the base of the neck deepening the kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck, I knew what I wanted to happen next, I thought to myself as I pulled off my tank top throwing it to the side.
