Chapter 12: Grecian Holiday

Ginny collapsed in her chair on Wednesday after several hours of healing and glanced at her watch. Bloody hell! She was late for lunch with Hallie and Luna. She quickly grabbed her cloak and headed out of the building.

Ten minutes later she entered restaurant where the three had agreed to meet. Hallie had beat her and was standing there waiting. "Hey Hal, sorry I'm late."

"No problem." The taller woman said. "I figured you both would be late. I just got here myself."

Hallie obviously knew her too well. "Have you gotten a table?"

"No I was waiting for two out of three." She walked and requested a table from the maître-d.

He was about to seat them when, "Hello lovelies!" a deep sexy voice cut through the restaurant. Ginny and Hallie spun around to face Blaise Zabini holding the door open for his girlfriend who had a greatly chagrined expression on her face.

Luna walked up to her two friends and kissed them both in greeting. "Sorry," she said as she stepped back. "He found Gin's owl and insisted on coming along even though I told him it was girls only." She wacked Blaise hard in the chest.

He simply smirked at her as if not at all fazed. "How could I ever allow the opportunity to have tea with the three most beautiful women in the world to pass me up?" Blaise glanced down at them through his beautiful, thick dark eyelashes and flashed all of them a perfect smile.

"And that is why he got to come." Luna huffed. "Manipulative little bastard has got my number. He is too bloody gorgeous for my own good."

Ginny threw an arm around her friend's shoulders as they followed the man to their table. "Don't worry love; you have held up pretty well considering what you have had to put up with. Nearly five years of Blaise and all his tricks would be too much for any other woman."

"It's true. I'm the only one he has ever gotten to stick around. I blame you by the way."

"Me?" Ginny asked incredulously. "What did I do?"

"You had the indecency to set me up with that." She gestured at her boyfriend's back as they reached the table.

Blaise turned around and pulled out a chair for Luna. "That, my love, was the best thing that ever happened to you."

Luna sat down in the chair and rolled her eyes. "How long do we have to deal with you?" she asked as she watched him pull out the chairs for her two friends as well, the perfect pureblood man as always.

"Just for one cup of tea. I have my own luncheon appointment thank you ma'am." After the ladies were seated he swiped a chair from the table next to them and sat down dangerously close to Luna and setting one hand on her inner thigh.

"Thank the gods." Luna said smacking his hand away. "Let's have the bloody tea so we can have some peace."

Half an hour later Blaise kissed his girlfriend on the forehead and bid her friends goodbye, heading off to for his mystery lunch appointment.

Luna took a sip of the tea that had just been refilled and now turned her attention to Hallie. "So my love," she said in a light voice addressing the other blond. "How much of our story have you squeezed out of this one thus far?"

"Oh dear lord god! I have been trying every freaking waking hour but she will barely tell me anything!"

Luna shot Ginny a small look of annoyance. "I'm not surprised. It took me a year and a half just to get her to acknowledge that they even had a real relationship at all after the whole thing blew up. For some reason this crazy convinced herself that it had never really happened somehow."

"Well she is a determined little… bugger." The American laughed. The classically British slang word sounded slightly awkward falling from her lips, as most do, but both women agreed that it was appropriate for the situation.

During this whole exchange Ginny said nothing. She simply sat back in her high backed chair and eyed her two friends with a general look of distaste. She was not surprised this conversation was happening; in fact she had expected Hallie to seek Luna out a long time ago and now that it was taking place she was sure that neither one would stop until the whole story had been made known.

"Alight," Luna said twisting her long golden hair into a knot at the top of her head. It was quite obvious that she was preparing herself for some major secret dishing. "How much has she actually told you?"

"We last ended when you all began summer break. She was mostly pretty vague about it, just that you and Blaise peaced out and gave them some time to talk and they agreed to send each other letters which she wouldn't show me."

"Don't feel too bad, I've never seen them either. Ok so you made it through summer hols, did she tell you much about Greece?"

A confused look passed over Hallie's perfect features. "Greece?"

Luna turned a murderous eye on Ginny.

"What?" the redhead asked skeptically.

"You didn't tell her anything about Greece?" Luna accused.

"No," Ginny responded unabashedly. "That's so much more your story than mine I figured I would let you tell it when you got around to it."

"But you were there too."

"Yes but I'm not the one who lost my virginity on the beach of that remote little island am I?" Ginny smirked.

Hallie's eyes widened. "Wait! Pause! Rewind! What happened? Last I heard you and Blaise were just beginning to tolerate each other on the train? How did you get from there to having sex on the beach in Greece?"

Luna flushed pink. "It wasn't actually on the beach… it was in a bungalow."

"Oh it was a bungalow on the beach. It is the same difference and you know it!" Ginny fired back. She liked the way this was turning out. In less than a minute all the spotlight had shifted from her past to Luna's and with any luck the remainder of lunch it would stay there.

"I don't care about the semantics of the location I want to hear the bloody story!" Hallie interrupted.

"Fine," Luna conceded. "But only so that when we get around to finishing what happened with Ginny and Draco you won't be confused when it comes to the shift with Blaise and me. I'm just going to give you the most important events. I was there for two weeks so a lot actually went on. It all started on the train ride after we left Gin and Drae for their quiet time…"

"Lovegood you shall never win." Zabini said with a murderous look in his eyes.

"Oh bring it on Zabini, I can totally take you."

He narrowed his eyes shrewdly at her. "We shall see madam…. Got any 2's?"

"Go fish!" Luna said in triumph before collapsing into giggles. "Who would have ever thought that this would have happened?"

"What us hiding in the luggage compartment playing a dumb muggle card game while our respective best friends snog each other senseless in the much more comfortable train car?"

"No, us having a decent time together." She smiled sheepishly at him and self-consciously twisted a long blond strand around her finger.

He smiled at her. "I don't know, I had pretty much decided that it was inevitable once Ginny and Draco became official."

"That is true I suppose. And as of late you haven't even been your normal smarmy self so spending time with you has even been bearable."

"Oh why thank you so much." He said sarcastically.

She flashed him an evil grin. "You're ever so welcome."

Sometime later they both cleaned up the area in which they had been hiding away and headed back to their normal compartment to gather all their things.

As they were walking they chatted about their various summer plans. Luna was to intern at her father's magazine for a few months, a sort of grooming to prepare her for when she would be editor in chief while Blaise was going to be splitting his summer between his family home in Northern England and their villa on a Grecian island.

"Oh how boring!" Luna said sarcastically. "Grecian beaches, Grecian women and no little me to keep you company."

Just then the train hit a bump and Luna squealed as she almost fell to the floor. She was caught though by a pair of strong arms and glanced up to see Blaise's bright blue eyes staring down into her own making her head spin. "I know. I don't know what I am going to do without you." He said quietly. The look in his eyes caused Luna's breath to catch in her chest. He straightened them both and then released her. "I have gotten so used to having you around to harass. It will be a hardship." He flashed her an evil grin, all traces of whatever emotion that was just there completely gone.

Luna took a second and then recovered. "I'm sure." She rolled her eyes and slid open the door to their compartment.

Knock knock knock

Luna glanced up from the book she was reading. It was nearly a month into summer and this was the first day that she had not been sent on errands for her father or had had to proof read some article for the Quibbler so she was taking full advantage of the momentary peace.

She had spent the entire day curled up in her favorite chair in the living room of her home catching up on her pleasure reading. The annoying knock was the first disruption she had encountered. Was someone actually disturbing her pleasant alone time? Maybe if she just didn't move then the person would go away.

Knock knock knock

It came again. Guess not. She slowly rose from her chair and slowly crossed the room to answer the door. As soon as she had turned the knob it burst open and a red blur burst by her in a flash of energy.

Shell shocked Luna turned around to see Ginny jumping up and down in the middle of her living room.

"What are you doing?" she inquired casually.

"Can we please, please go? I'd love you forever and ever and ever!"

Luna had no idea what was going on. "What are you talking about crazy?"

Ginny stopped and cocked her head to the side, her bright red pony tail still swinging in from her earlier bouncing. "Greece of course."

"Greece?" Luna was completely confused now and she was also beginning to think that her friend might actually be starting to lose her mind just a bit, probably from lack of Malfoy exposure.

Just then her formerly pleasant and solitary afternoon was interrupted yet again this time in the form of an incessant tapping at the kitchen window.

Luna passed through the living room and into the kitchen to let in a beautiful, sleek black owl with a sheet of dark green parchment tied to its leg.

She carefully untied the parchment from its restraints and gave the owl a treat and some water. She then proceeded to unroll the scroll and was slightly surprised to see that the writing on the page was shimmering silver. Over the top done in Slytherin colors, had to be Blaise. She smiled to herself, the theatricality of that boy never ceased to amaze her.

Dear Miss Lovegood,

I would be much obliged if you and Ms. Weasley would join Malfoy and myself at my Greek villa for a week of fun in the sun in two weeks time.

Sincerely,

Blaise Zabini

As she finished reading she glanced up at Gin who was still twitching in excitement. "Really?"

"Yes of course! I got a letter too from Draco asking us to come. Oh won't it be fun? A whole week at the beach in Greece with our beautiful Slytherin men!"

Despite herself Luna couldn't help but smile at Ginny's enthusiasm. "Don't you mean your beautiful Slytherin man and my archenemy?"

"Psh! You and Blaise have got to get over that. Draco and I were talking, we think you all would be such a cute couple if you could just get over yourselves. Look at Drae and I, seven generations of animosity and we are falling in love, I think you can get over the fact that you just generally dislike him."

"Whatever you say love." She said quickly trying to change the subject. She had wondered about that very same things many times this in the last month. "You don't have to convince me this time I'll go without a fight."

"Good!" Ginny jumped up and hugged her. "This is going to be a vacation we're never going to forget."

Luna hugged her friend back. "I hope you're right." She muttered to herself.

Two weeks later, after much fast talking and many perfectly formulated lies to all parents involved Ginny and Luna met at the middle of the large field between their two homes with their portkey charmed to take them directly to Blaise's villa.

"You ready?"Ginny asked her friend as she approached.

"To spend a week at the beach, yes, to spend that week with Blaise, never." Luna tossed her long blond locks over her should and grabbed a hold of the umbrella Mr. Weasley had fashioned into a portkey.

"Yes well focus on the beach then." Ginny encouraged. She herself was more than ready to be there as was quite apparent. It had been far too long since she had spent any time with her boyfriend and the letters, while sweet, just didn't have the same effect as Draco's hard body pressed tightly against hers. "Alright here we go."

After the familiar tug behind the navel and much whirling around, the girls gracefully dropped into a stone courtyard facing the sea.

The first thing that stuck Luna about Greece was how bright it was. The sun was hot and shimmering off the crystal blue ocean, the sand was dauntingly white and all the adorable little buildings that lined one side of the view were painted to match the hue of the sand. This was defiantly what paradise looked like.

She remained captivated by the view until she heard Ginny say "Wow." Luna spun around to see what had elicited that reaction. If she thought the view was beautiful it paled in comparison to the house.

The three story building towered above them. It was somehow both modern and painfully traditional with many layers, balconies and inner courtyards that gave it the appearance of a majestic sandstone labyrinth that Luna would not mind being lost in forever.

Ginny tugged on her arm and Luna followed, still dazed, up to the five stone stairs to a large door that was made of a glass panel fitted on either side with thick wrought iron that weaved in and out of itself, more artistry in such a simple place.

Luna reached out and rang what appeared to be the bell. There was a small pop inside as a house elf apparated to the door to greet them. "Hello Misses, how can I be helping you?"

"Hi, my name is Luna Lovegood and this is Ginny Weasley. I believe Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Zabini are expecting us."

"Yes they is," The small elf stated with a respectful incline of the head. "If you would please be following me."

Still in awe of where they were the girls followed the elf into the magnificent structure. As soon as they has passed through the wrought iron and glass portal they were lead off to the right and into what appeared to be the main living area filled with dark blue furniture that really stood out against the classically white walls and glanced into a conservatory with high ceilings that allowed the afternoon sun to flood the space with bright light.

The elf then led them down a set of stairs into another brightly lit room that appeared to stretch the length of the house with floor to ceiling windows making up one of the long walls, the other being nestled into the hillside. From the very first glance it was apparent that this portion of the house was Blaise's domain. In the corner closest to the door there was a large antique looking bar that appeared to be both well stocked and well used. The dark green couches that were scattered around were the exact shade of the parchment she had received two weeks earlier.

The elf led them out onto the terrace filled with furniture and a gigantic pool. "The misses should be making themselves comfortable. The masters will be along shortly, they was going surfing this morning." With another pop the elf was gone.

After what seemed like an eternity of her just taking in her strange and lavish surroundings Ginny grabbed her arm and sucked in a breath. Luna aimed her attention in the direction that her friend seemed to so mesmerized in and immediately saw what the source of her friend's distraction was.

Coming up the stairs leading down to the beach were two Greek gods holding surf boards still wet from the sea. One Luna immediately realized was Draco, anyone would recognize his pale features but the other he had long shaggy black hair that hung down into piercing blue eyes and his body was perfectly toned and tanned. It wasn't until he flashed her a mischievous smile that she recognized the gorgeous mystery man as Blaise.

"Hey!" Draco yelled across the patio. He dropped his gear and practically ran over to grab Ginny up and spin her around in a hug. The young couple then became lost in each other as any young couple in love who had been apart would do.

Blaise though took his time and magiced both their boards over to where they belonged before walking calmly over to the small group. "Hi Luna." He said quietly.

She was a bit taken aback to hear her first name fall from his lips. "Hi." She stammered.

He smiled a genuine smile at her. "Alright you two!" he then said to their friends. "You have an entire week together. Let's go get cleaned up Drae then we can all have dinner."

"Ok." Draco conceded tearing himself away from Ginny's body and settling for just her hand. "Come on we'll show you to your rooms on the way."

Luna stretched out on her towel and gazed at her friends all playing in the surf. The boys had Ginny by the hands and feet and were swinging her into the surf while she shrieked and cursed various members of their families.

She smiled. Despite her best efforts she was having an amazing time in Greece even with Blaise's constant presence and even he seemed as though he was making a concerted effort to ensure that both of the girls were making the most of their time in Greece.

They were already six days into their vacation and would be leaving tomorrow afternoon. Blaise had shown them the whole island and introduced them to so many of the locals who had seemed to adore them. They had been to the beach every single day and Luna was beginning to get a lovely tan.

She loved it here and was definitely not looking forward to going back to her grueling job at the Quibbler.

Just then a soaking wet Blaise relinquished his hold on Ginny's feet and came hurling back up the beach toward Luna. This could not at all be good.

Luna jumped to her feet as the he drew closer and she had to make a concerted effort to keep her wits about her with all the water glistening off his tanned and toned muscles.

"Hello Looney." He said to her with a maniacal gleam in his eye.

"Oh no! Don't you dare come near me Blaise Zabini! I will curse you into next week if you get me all wet!"

She held up her hand in order to try in what she knew would be in vain when he lunged at her and pulled her down into the sand with him laughing all the way.

"You arsehole!" she shrieked.

He said nothing just scrambled to his feet and then reached down and picked her up as if she weighed nothing at all. Slinging her over one of his broad shoulders he ran down to the surf and dumped her in the cold water.

Sputtering as she came up Luna had murder in her eyes. This time it was she who lunged at the tall man intent on drowning him while he laughed all the while and simply swam out of her reach.

Ginny couldn't help but smile knowingly at Draco. They had both observed that both Luna and Blaise had been heavily flirting with each other the entire time the girls had been in Greece. Blaise had even bought Luna a traditional Greek dress for a souvenir. They both wished that their friends would just see how much they were into each other and stop pretending to hate each other.

Even now when Luna was trying to be pissed with Blaise all she could do was laugh.

An hour or so later the whole gang packed up their things and headed back up to the villa to get ready for dinner after Draco pointed out how they did not want to incur the wrath of Blaise's houseelves.

This last comment caught Ginny by surprise and she asked him about it once they were seated at the table. "Drae, what did you mean about the wrath of an elf earlier?"

He laughed and looked at Blaise. "Houseelves are not the poor tragic creatures that Granger makes them out to be love. They serve us but mostly only do what they feel like doing which granted is almost everything we ask but sometimes they say no. they are contracted to different families but still maintain free will."

"Especially if they are a personal elf." Blaise chimed in rolling his eyes.

"Personal elf?" Luna asked.

"Yeah most families with elves heave lots but only one elf that becomes their personal everyday elf that deals with all their needs." Blaise explained.

"Yeah and if you get lucky like me," Draco laughed. "Then you get an elf who is just as likely to pour the hot tea on you as she is to serve it to you."

"Oh really?" Ginny inquired. "Who is that?"

"My elf Lilith, she has spunk and has always seen it as her duty to put me in my place at all times using any means necessary which usually means a smack to the back of the head."

Ginny laughed. "I think I like her."

"Yeah, you would and Lily would like you too. You would both have fun ganging up on me."

They continued on with their meal and it was all rather civil up until desert. As it was being served Blaise made the mistake of cracking a joke about the reliability of the Quibbler.

This of course sent Luna into defense mode so while one couple enjoyed their dessert the remaining two screamed insults at each other resulting in Luna running off the terrace down towards the beach.

Blaise threw himself back into his chair, brooding. After a few minutes he looked up and noticed that neither of his friends had moved at all or even seemed all that effected by the scene that had just played out before them. "Aren't you going to follow her?" Blaise asked Ginny. He found he was concerned about Luna even though he was the one who upset her so he didn't understand why.

"No," Ginny said as she took another bite of the mousse and turned to Draco. "This is so good." She said offhandedly to him.

Blaise was outraged at both of their behavior. They really weren't going to do anything to make sure she was not throwing herself off the rock wall and plummeting to an overdramatic death. He shoved away from the table and headed off the terrace down to the beach to check on her himself not seeming the knowing smile Ginny gave Draco as he stomped off.

He saw her tiny figure sitting in the sand just to the left of the bungalow with her knees drawn up to her chest and her long golden hair reflecting the moonlight. She was so beautiful, damn it.

He walked up and stood silently just behind her not wanting to disturb her peaceful trance.

"What do you want Blaise?"

"How did you even know it was me?"

"Because Ginny would have sat down next to me and Draco would never have come, he would leave me alone."

He didn't respond. He didn't know what to say or even why he had come down there in the first place. He felt bad about being rude. He moved over so that he was standing in front of her, "I came to apologize for being an arse earlier."

"Really?" she said in a disbelieving tone.

"Yes."

"Why?"

He stood there staring at her, the halo of gold around her slightly tanned face, her blue eyes full of disbelief, curiosity and trust. He knew why he was here but he just needed to find the courage to say it. "Because I love you."

Luna's mouth fell open and for a moment all she could do was stare. "I don't understand." She stammered.

"I. Love. You. Which part of this is difficult?" he laughed at her. "You are impossible, headstrong, bratty, always nagging at me for one thing or the other, putting up some kind of fight to something I am doing…"

"I do not!" Luna tried to interrupt pushing herself up off the sand.

"Don't interrupt me!" Blaise asserted over her. "There's another thing, you are a bigger know it all than Granger and have no problems voicing you damn opinions." He backed away from her and screamed into the night. "You make me so furious all the time… but, despite it all, I just can't seem to get enough of you."

Luna stared at him with her mouth hanging open. She and Blaise had always verbally sparred but she had never seen him display so much emotion, ever. He looked so fantastic, his face set in a serious expression and his blue eyes smoldering with anger and lust as he stared directly at her.

"I... I love you too." she stammered quietly.

"What?" he said moving closer and leaning in to hear her soft voice.

"I love you too Blaise."

"Oh thank the gods." He said with a big smile before pulling her in to kiss her softly on the lips.

Blaise slowly came back to consciousness. He wrapped himself more securely around the warm form that was cuddled up against his chest without even opening his eyes.

He felt a soft pair of lips press against his skin. He hummed in happiness and opened his eyes to find he was almost nose to nose with a very naked Luna Lovegood. "Am I still dreaming? Because if I am then I don't think I'm going to wake up."

She smiled at him and tentatively kissed him on the lips. "No, I don't think you're dreaming right now love."

"Wow… so was the best night of my life real too?"

Luna blushed and tried to bury her head in the blanket.

Blaise laughed and pulled her back up to him. "No. Come back." He insisted. He successfully pulled her hands away from her face and kissed her squarely on the lips effectively melting her residence. She sighed into his mouth. "Yep," he said confidently as he pulled away. "It was real."

She blushed and tried to wiggle away from him. Once she escaped she began to search out her clothes finding them scattered across the sandy area directly surrounding the bungalow. When she was finally finished dressing she turned around to find a slightly wrinkled yet gorgeous Blaise reclining where she had left him now fully dressed.

He patted the space beside him and she willingly went and sat down.

He kissed her on the lips and then let his lips trail down her neck and over to her shoulder. Not even removing his lips from her skin he asked, "Will you spend another week with me?"

She looked down at him astonished, "Really?"

"Yes, really. I was serious last night. I really think I am in love with you Luna. I've been with so many other girls and never cared about them at all and even before I was with you I loved being around you and dreaded you leaving the room which was so weird seeing as I thought I hated you. But now I realized I just want to be with you if you'll let me."

Luna closed her eyes and tried to hold back the feeling of tears at the corners of her eyes. For better or for worse she wanted to be with him more than anything else in the world. Reopening her eyes she smiled down at him. Laying her forehead against his she smiled at him and said, "Yes."

They went back up to the house hand in hand to find Draco and Ginny both already up and packed.

"Well nice of you two to join us." Draco said with a smirk before receiving a smack from Ginny. "Ow!" he cried. "What was that for?"

"Shut up love." Ginny said leaning over and kissing him on the cheek before getting up from the table and grabbing Luna by the arm. She then proceeded to drag her into the house before turning on her and saying simply "Spill."

Luna blushed but did as commanded. "Oh Gin! It was so amazing. When he came down I thought I couldn't hate a person more but then he went off on this rant about how he was in love with me and every one of my bad qualities just made him love me more. Before I knew it we were kissing and then we were snogging in the bungalow and then we made love in the bungalow. It was so beautiful."

"Pause." Ginny said with a strange expression on her face. "Rewind to the part about having sex! Luna, are you crazy?"

Luna couldn't help but beam at her friend. "Yeah I think so. It happened though and I wouldn't change it for the world. Ginny I think I love him too and he's asked me to stay another week with him. I'm going to do it."

"Seriously?" Ginny asked one eyebrow raised.

Luna was a bit crestfallen by her friend's disbelief but she held firm. "Seriously."

"Alright," Ginny said with a big smile. "Tell me who you need me to lie to."

Luna threw her arms around Ginny. "Oh I knew I could count on you."

Four days later Luna woke up in Blaise's bed and looked around. Blaise was nowhere in sight but she assumed he would be back soon so she would take this opportunity to explore. This was the first time they had ever been in his room and she had not been able to examine it very well due to other distractions when they had come in here the night before.

This was the inner domain of Blaise, where he kept his most personal items, so naturally she wanted to look around. She scooted out of the large bed, taking the navy blue sheet with her and began to explore. She looked in his closet and saw the perfectly pressed clothes that so defined Blaise, she saw his Quidditch and surfing gear in one corner of the room, his bookshelf full of novels and magical books. Everything was neat but with a slightly wild unkempt air, just like their owner. What most attracted her attention though was his desk that was covered in wizarding pictures. She saw pictures of Blaise, Draco and their friend Theodore Nott, some of the Quidditch team and him flying and one formal portrait with his parents whom she had seen two years ago at the world cup.

She was still looking at the pictures when a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist.

"Normally I don't let people in my room because I don't like them snooping around but I think just this once I'll make an exception."

Luna smiled and replaced the picture in her hands. "Where'd you go sir?" she inquired.

"Into town. I figured I'd take a tip from Draco and bought you this." He pulled out a silver necklace with a turquoise and diamond three tiered pendent and fastened it around her neck.

"Blaise! No, you shouldn't have done this."

"I figured you'd say that. That is the only thing I like about Slytherin girls, they don't just accept gifts they expect them. All other girls feel they need to do something to deserve them. You are amazing and beautiful and I wanted to get something worthy of you as a souvenir from our time together."

Luna didn't know what to say. There was nothing she could do really after what he had said, and it really was beautiful so instead she decided to just drop the sheet she had been using as clothing and show him how much she liked the necklace which was just fine with Blaise.

All too soon it was Saturday again and time for Luna to leave. They had spent the entire week trying to get to know each other as lovers and people without the ridged house distinctions being imposed on them. They both felt that this was more than just a crush or a summer fling and had decided that if they still felt the same way when they arrived back at Hogwarts then they would not try to hide their relationship from their classmates for Blaise's final year at school.

Blaise helped Luna pack, well he was actually more of detriment then help but he was there, and all too soon they found themselves on the front terrace, a portkey in hand.

Blaise pulled her body to his and wrapped her in a hug. "Do you really have to go?" he said into her hair.

"Unfortunately I do. I don't want to though believe me. If I could I would spend the rest of… my life right here with you." she blushed as she admitted to him just how much he had gotten under her skin.

He pulled back and beamed at her. "Well maybe one day you will be able to." He lifted up her chin and kissed her softly. "I'm going to miss you so much."

"Me too." she said quietly leaning her forehead against his broad chest. "but we only have three more weeks till we'll be back at school."

"Thank gods, I'm not sure I'd survive much more. Alright you should go before I change my mind and kidnap you for longer."

She laughed but gave him one last kiss before stepping back and activating the portkey to take her home from the summer vacation that she truly felt had changed her life forever.

Yeah so this one is super long so I chopped it in half and it was still long. Couldn't help it. I hope you at least enjoy it. I did. I'll give you the other half in a few days.

Let me know what you think. Anything and everything. I love the feedback.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter!
