Chapter 36: The Royal Flush

Harry was staring intently at me, his green eyes ablaze, and no hint of a smile on his face.

He stood, slowly, and started walking towards me. Something about his stance had me silent. It was as if I was trapped in his gaze, a gaze that was a vortex, leaving me gasping for breath.

He was up against me in a heartbeat. I could feel his chest up against my own and my breathing got faster.

Suddenly the small of my back hit the table and I bounced off onto him, a warm hand replacing the sharp edge of the wood and the gasp that I emitted was swallowed by his soft lips.

It was as if the switch was turned on and I could breathe again, but that was fruitless as why should I waste my mouth on breathing when I could be using it for this. I pushed my body hungrily against him, feeling the fire that was lit in my belly spread to the tips of my everything. I lapped at him greedily and he responded in kind.

I felt his hand slide down my back and cup my butt, I was quickly hoisted off the floor and I eagerly wrapped my legs around him, letting out a gasp at the feel of his need against my own. I felt the cool wood through my jeans as he placed me on the table, his hands quickly ascending.

I felt them ghost across my stomach as I ran my own across his back, tasting his bottom lip. I freed his lip however and flung my head back, a loud and unexpected moan escaping my lips as he simultaneously rubbed himself at my core and his dry, rough, cold hand ghosted across my breasts making them stand to attention in a way I never knew they could.

I felt his hot tongue lap at my neck, not processing what he was muttering as my body was silently screaming for his attention, relishing on every tug and squeeze and cup, my legs tightened involuntarily around him.

"Kyrianna," He said it in a voice so low I would never have heard it if he wasn't nipping at my ear, "Your potion."

I placed my hands firmly on him, pulling him against me roughly, "Fuck the potion."

I heard a chuckle, or more like felt it rumble off him as he moved his head lower and lower, and then I felt the best sensation yet, of moist lips on taut skin and I heard a voice foreign to me, a voice dripping with sensuality as it gasped Harry's name and I came undone.

Harry's POV

Why did she even show up if she wasn't going to contribute to anything? All she did was sit there, a blank look on her face and her stubborn bottom lip jutting out in an infuriatingly appetising way.

"….Roger, I turned him down though."

I looked back at Davies making out with his girlfriend. Just then I caught sight of the couple that entered the shop. Fuck.

I snapped my head around, grasping my coffee tightly trying to steady my hands. Fuck. My heart was beating in my throat. I concentrated on the cup in my hands, trying to stop imagining that it was the neck of the somewhat familiar boy that had walked in with Ky.

What the fuck was she playing at, has she even spoken of that boy before? I've never seen them together. I always assumed she was holed up in her potions lab when she wasn't around, was she making out with that boy instead! What the fuck, I wiped at my forehead, trying to get my breathing under control.

"…m-mention me at all before he died?"

What? Who died? Mention who? Wait, what? I scanned the room but couldn't find the couple. I then looked back at Cho, trying to calm myself. Oh, Cedric.

"Look, he didn't have much time to do anything. Let's not talk about him right now, please let's just talk about something else. What were you saying about-"

"I thought," she said, tears spattering down on the table, "I thought you'd u-understand! I need to talk about it! Surely you n-need to talk about it too! You saw it happening, didn't you?"

I looked at her, absolutely shocked. Is this all that the past few weeks have been for her. Just so she can find out what her ex-boyfriend had said before he died, if he mentioned her at all. Well sorry to break it to you Cho, anything he wanted to say right at the end if he had been given a chance would not be pointed in your direction. I bit my tongue, making a side long glance for Ky again.

"I have spoken about it Cho, to Ron and Hermio-"

"Oh, you'll talk to Hermione Granger!"I'm pretty sure my eyeballs were zooming around the floor as it popped out of my head. She was screaming and the kissing couples near us broke apart, "…met up with Hermione Granger, like you obviously wanted to!"

She sputtered into her napkin. What the heck, "Cho?"

"Go on leave. I don't know why you asked me in the first place if you're going to make arrangements to meet other girls right after me…how many are you meeting after Hermione?"

"It's not like that!"

Was she jealous of Hermione? Hermione? I laughed at the irony and stopped quickly as she sprang off her seat and with a dramatic goodbye she was out the door. I looked around the tea shop one last time, not seeing the pair. I better go to Hermione, that boy's face still burning in my head. I knew him from somewhere…

-x-x-x-

I have never seen anything more beautiful in my entire life.

Ky's dark hair was flowing across the tabletop, like a dark river amidst a forest. She hid her smoky grey eyes away from me, the most serene look on her face, her lips parted slightly emitting the most captivating sounds that egged me on, trying to find the satisfaction her body was pleading for with my inexpert like fingers. With a singular sound of deepest pleasure, her arched back softened and she fell back onto the table. Her breathing was slowing down, and I leaned over her, kissing her cheek softly, tasting her sweetness. I felt her lips push at my own cheek and I straightened up. She followed suit, a lazy smile on her face.

"Wow."

I couldn't help but smile back at the appraising look she was giving me. I sat down on the stool, enclosing her with my elbows on either side of her hips, leaning against the table. Her legs were hanging loosely on either side of me, and I looked up at her, her eyes burning with emotion. She bit her bottom lip in a way that made my navel tug. I could feel some of her cascading hair tickle my cheek.

A fierce burning desire swept through my body at that look on her face and I stood, carrying her gaze with me.

I cupped her left cheek, all smiles gone, "You're mine." She had to be mine. I can't do this, not anymore. It was just barely bearable to have her run from my arms but to have another man's arms on her…my anger clawed for an escape at the pits of my stomach. It must be shining in my eyes because she looked up at me hypnotically, nodding her head.

Was she agreeing? She did that last time, but then she ran away. I moved my body closer, a small part of me afraid that she would do so again…why though? It was evident that she couldn't stand me being with Cho, she was practically non-existent these last few weeks.

"I won't run Harry. I won't." My common name felt exotic on her lips, she leaned her head against my chest, and I felt her hands run around my waist. "Not this time."

"Why did you?"

It had been playing in my head for weeks, I needed to know. I needed to know what I had done so I would never do it again.

She lifted her head up and leaned back, running circles on my back with her fingertips that excited me at my core. "I saw…that Chang liked you. I didn't want to take something from her again…guilt."

I could see it in her eyes; this strong, beautiful girl was being chased by ghosts. I cupped her face, "You cannot take something from someone if it doesn't belong to them Kyrianna."

Questions shone in her eyes, and I pulled her close to me, ready to answer all of them. "Because I felt the same guilt that you did, that want to afford Cho some form of happiness. But I failed. Dismally. I'm not what she wants, and she isn't what I want. She wants answers, not a relationship. And I…I want you."

It was as simple as that. She hugged me tightly and I held her close, my heart aching. Kyrianna was a stubborn, hard and veiled girl, not one to wear her emotions on her sleeve. All this time…she was running on guilt.

"I know…I'm not him…I know it must be hard to try and-"

She pulled back quickly, confusion etched on her face, "No." She shook her head furiously, "No, you're not him. But that was never the problem. The problem was that he was never you…he was never…and I thought you liked Cho…"

"What gave you that idea?" I never spoke about liking Cho to her, and that's because all infatuation with Cho disappeared upon her arrival.

"You…you said last year. When Mi asked about me and Cedric, the day before-"

I took a step back, confused. What was she talking about? I remembered then, "I only said that because you said you wanted to date Cedric!"

"I never said that! Mi said that. And dating Cedric was only ever an option because you were being a prat and accused me-"

"I only did that because I was jealous that you went to the Ball with Malfoy!" I shouted back.

"I only went with Malfoy because I owed him a debt and it's not like you were batting down the door to ask me! All you wanted to do was go with Cho! You didn't even consider me-"

"Consider you! Consider you! Every decision I made was in consideration of you! I was running away because I couldn't handle the thought of you saying no! You were out of my league!"

"Out of your league? Fuck you Potter for being such an arse." She slapped my chest, a look of fire in her eyes. "You mean to tell me you liked me all that time!"

"Of course I did. I was scared OK! I didn't know what to do! It's not like you made things easy! You were the one that ran off to him-"

"Because I dreamt of you! And I didn't want to be hung up on you considering you liked someone else."

"Dreamt of me?"

"Yes, you idiot, a boy that made it clear that he had feelings for another." She slapped my chest again and I grabbed her hand, shocked at our stupidity.

"You silly girl, how could you not see..."I yanked her by the wrist, and she crashed into me, beginning to devour her. I didn't know what to tell her, but I could show her. Suddenly she pushed me, and I fell onto the stool. I looked up but she was on me before I could make a move, her legs around me and I let out a groan at the feel of her against me. Fuck, how was I still…I felt heat ghost down my stomach…and then I heard the soft noise of metal being released as my trousers loosened. I looked up at her, to ensure she was sure, but my voice caught. The question was unnecessary, her eyes glinted down at me, a small smirk on her face, she looked the epitome of darkness and for once in my life I would happily dance in the darkness with my Kyrianna.

A/N: So, Harry is definitely being OOC from the canon Harry but then again canon Harry didn't have Ky. She's made him braver, more confident. I hope it's not too scary and too disconcerting, I kind of like this new Harry, I think Ky challenges him in a way he always needed to be challenged.

Please review, this was THE chapter and after all this time I would LOVE to hear what you think!

Have an awesome day,
