Two days left till summer holiday. Students should be laughing with each other and enjoying the fact that exams were over and the summer holiday was about to begin.
However not everyone was looking on the bright side or laughing that day. Henry Knight felt his stomach twist, he knew that his whole world would change when his father married Rose Moon's mother that summer and he expected there to be awkwardness when he went home on the account of his twins disappearance but with his anxiety reminding of it all. It also told him that he had a crush on Alexa Mackenzie and if he didn't tell her that year then he would miss his chance just like he did with Amara.
Henry was nervous. He wasn't sure what the girl would say or how she would response. He didn't know is she shared his feelings and was worried that she would laugh in his face or walk away. Henry was afraid, he wasn't completely sure that he should tell her without knowing for sure what the results would be.
Henry stepped out into the courtyard as he remembered asking Alexa to the blossom ball as friends and she rejected him. Rejection haunted his mind and he started to worry that what if it was a sign, a sign that she didn't like him the way he liked her and they weren't meant to be together.
Henry looked around the courtyard for Alexa's flaming red hair and bright green eyes. He smiled a bit to himself while his anxiety produced daunting thoughts and possible situations that he would have rather not thought of or remembered.
There was surprisingly quite a bit of red heads at Hogwarts but none at least to Henry were similar to Alexa Mackenzie.
After a few minutes his eyes found her and he felt himself freeze up. His body tensed and anxiety battled itself withing his brain. He thought about running, racing from that courtyard to a place where no one could see or hear him. Where he would be alone.
remember what Arthur always told you, be yourself. You got this, your friends and talk like your friends.... but what if she doesn't like me or laughs at me or what if I ruined our relationship by admitting my feelings!
Or what if she ignores me after today or what if she jinxes me after I tell her or she tells me that she's already dating someone! What if she dating Simon and I missed my chance... relax... just approach her and tell... but what if..
Henry would take a breath and feel his feet move underneath him as he walked toward Alexa, he would offer her a smile and small wave as he spoke" hey Alex," a nickname sort of that he sometimes referred to her as, " could we talk, alone?"
Henry would look around before moving closer to Alexa and lowering jus voice as he took a breath and felt his anxiety push down on him but that was it. He was there and now had to tell her. No more hiding at least for the current movement.
"I love you Alexa," Henry spoke and looked in her eyes smiling a bit as he felt his anxiety grow over his head like a rain cloud but he continued, " I love you and I have for a while, I'm sorry that I didn't realize it sooner but hopefully I'm not to late," Henry would smile toward the girl for a moment of silence before continuing" your beautiful and intelligent and funny and kind and a great duelist and I love you, Alexa. I always have since the first day we met just I haven't realized till now."

He likes me, he likes me not… HE LIKES ME! @ Henry Knight
Alexa wandered aimlessly through the halls of Hogwarts, clutching the offending letter she had just received in her hand, clutching it so hard that it was terribly crumbled. Her eyes couldn't focus on anything, but gazed, un-seeing into the distance, as she bumped around other students in the corridors. She could not believe, after all that had happened this year, that the horror would continue.
First, the loss of her friend Simon as he disappeared without saying goodbye. Then her best friend Alina leaving for another school, saying goodbye only by letter. Her parents' divorce, and subsequent sale of the farm that she had grown up on and loved dearly. Her rejection by Henry Knight, when she had all these feelings that she could hardly explain for him. Losing all three duels in her first year on the dueling team. And now this. But this was perhaps the most unbelievable horror of them all…Her mom was terribly sick.
The contents of the letter were flooding her mind as she absently walked into the courtyard. It was only when she glanced up and saw the familiar and handsome face of Henry that her mind quieted its harsh babbling momentarily. Was he beckoning to her?
Still feeling dazed and lost, she nodded mutely when Henry asked if they could talk alone, and followed him to a corner of the courtyard that was unoccupied by other students. And then suddenly, miraculously, terrifyingly, he was confessing feelings to her, feelings that he had FOR her… And Alexa was thinking that this couldn't have come at a more terrible time.
Her eyes filled with tears. "Oh, Henry…" In a rather uncharacteristic public display of strong emotion, she threw her arms around his neck, and began crying into his shoulder, her feelings in turmoil. But the feeling of embarrassment was strongest, and she quickly pulled away, sniffling. "You can't imagine how happy what you say makes me. I feel the same for you, and have for a long time. But Henry… Oh…" Tears continuing to streak down her face, she shoved the crumpled letter into his hands. It read:
Alexa watched Henry read the letter with bated breath. as he reached the end and looked up at her, her eyes filled with tears again. "I don't know what to do." Her hand reached out for his, beseeching.Dearest Alexa,
It seems that all this year I have only written to you with hard news, my daughter, and I am so sorry to add to your burden. We have just found out recently that your mother is deathly ill. We've been holding off telling you, even not telling you that we have been talking to one another,
in the hopes that things would resolve, that your mother would begin to get better. But the doctors here in London have grave news: your mom has cancer, and it is very strong at the moment. All the doctors that we have seen in Britain (and there have been many now), seem to have no hope.
But we have not given up. We have contacted several doctors in America, and there is a hospital and doctor willing to take in your mother this summer for treatment, when no one here will.
So not only am I writing to tell you of your mother's illness, but also that the three of us will be going to the United States the summer, maybe even for longer, while she gets treatment. I know this is all terrifying, and we had planned to tell you when you got home from the end of term, but as we will be leaving the day you arrive home on the Hogwarts Express, flying out of London, we thought it best to tell you soon.
In this way, in the last days of term, you can bid farewell to your friends in case that we do not come back in time for the fall term. Or even after that. I don't know how long this will take, but I know you will agree with me that nothing matters more than your mother's health, and so I know you will be more than willing to make the sacrifice, though we hate to ask it of you.
Alexa, be strong. We will see you very soon. We will pick you up from the train station, and go directly to the airport with your things. I also wanted to let you know, so that you are not surprised when you see her, that your mother looks very ill. I didn't want you to be shocked.
With all the love in the world,
Your father,
Alexander Mackenzie

Henry took a breath when he finished his words. When he finished his revealing his feelings to Alexia. It wasn't until the moment after he spoke that Henry felt the panic rise within him.
When the words left his mouth, he felt his lips dry from the panic of what Alexa would say or do. Henry felt thoughts spiral around his mind making his head throb as his heart pounded awaiting to hear the girl who stood in front of him words.
Henry heard Alexa's voice almost like honey with lemon then felt her hug him. Her arms wrapped around his neck and crying? Alexa was crying into his shoulder maybe Henry told her at the wrong time. The teen was starting to think she was going through something as his arms wrapped around her and he hugged her tightly in return.
A small smile on his face when her pulled away and he was ready to reply. Feeling excited and nervous at the same time oddly as thoughts spiraled around his mind. He was thirteen years old and wasn't entirely sure how this love thing and relationships went yet so he was about to ask her to be his girlfriend when he heard her words.
Henry felt the letter pushed into his right hand and with his left he reached out to grab Alexa's hand and squeeze it gently but tightly as his Eyes read over the contents of the letter.
His heart dropped and he felt his throat coke with tears but the teen didn't cry. He was determined to stay strong and help Alexa even if the worst situations flooded his mind.
Henry folded the letter up and handed in back to Alexa with a small smile as he heard her words, his left hand would grab hers and squeeze it gently but tightly while right hand would hold her shoulder.
His blue eyes looking into her green ones as he softly spoke"Alexa, I'm so sorry. You don't deserve to go through any of this and I'm so sorry that you will have to," the teen would take a breath and gently squeeze her hand and shoulder then he would speak" I know your mother is a muggle but can't St Mungos do anything for her or maybe there's a cure in the wizarding world that muggle doctors don't know about. There's multiple potions and healing spells, surely something can help. Maybe the nurse would know if we ask him or a perhaps there's a book that has something that can help you-"
Henry realized what he was doing. He was rambling. Rambling with facts and knowledge. The teen knew he shouldn't, he knew that it would come to nothing and all he would be able to do was be there for her.
Henry took a breath and squeezed Alexa's hand and shoulder as he softly spoke" your one of the strongest, kindest, and bravest people I know Alexa. If anyone can go through something like this and make it out, it's you," Henry smiled toward her and now wished that he could find a way to go to America to. That he could sneak into her luggage and go with her, to help her and listen to her when she would need it.
"I know you can get through this and your mother will be okay, because your are kinder than almost everyone at this school and your one of tho strongest and most determined people I know," Henry spoke giving the girl a little smile as he continued" your beautiful and intelligent and amazing Alexa, this is bloody terrible that you have to go through this," Henry then removed his hand from her shoulder and grabbed her other hand with his right.
Giving both her hands a squeeze as he softly spoke" but you aren't an alone, I'll always be with you and write to me or even call on a muggle phone as much as you want. I could even get a computer so we can video call? I'll always be here for you A, and I'll always listen no matter the time and place."
Henry then looked around at the nearly empty corridor and would squeeze her hands again as he spoke" we have time, I can listen now if you need or want to." The young teen felt his stomach do a flip and his thought spin around his mind and suddenly he would lean in and press his lips aginest Alexa's.
Henry Knight would kiss Alexa for a minute or perhaps longer before pulling away, still holding her hands unless she would let go.

I wanted to tell you
Just being with@ Henry Knight.
Alexa stood gazing into Henry’s blue eyes as he folded up the letter and handed it back to her. Then one hand quickly reached out and grasped hers tightly, while the other reached for her shoulder, as though to hold her steady.
He apologized for what she was having to go through, asking if she had thought of any healing spells, asked the school nurse about St. Mungo’s, and more, before trailing off. Alexa found that she could only smile sadly up into his face, as he desperately tried to come up with something to help her. His warmth, and his obvious caring warmed her inside as well.
He complimented her the way no one had ever before, and in spite of her worries and sadness, she felt herself blushing again, that old familiar blush that she had not felt for a while. She, who was naturally shy, and embarrassed at everything, every conversation, had felt so disconnected from her fellow students and teachers at Hogwarts for so long, that she realized she hadn’t blushed in a while. Though the feeling used to annoy and aggravate her, there was comfort in it now, comfort in something normal.
Rascal stirred slightly from where he rested in her robe pocket. She reached down and casually laid a hand over her hip, comforting him as Henry comforted her. She found herself looking up into his face again, into his impossibly blue eyes, as he told her that she wouldn’t be alone through this, that he would be there with her. It somehow made it all much more bearable, knowing he would be there for her.
He mentioned calling, talking on the Muggle phone with her over the summer, and she smiled shyly. She was still smiling, when he suddenly leaned forward, and his eyes closed. Her own eyes widened in shock as his lips touched hers in a gentle kiss that she didn't break. His hands held her own, and she tightened her grip on them, almost afraid to let go.
It was her first kiss. And somehow I managed to sweep aside everything that was bothering her, everything that was hurting her, until there was only Henry and herself in the courtyard, and seemingly nothing else in the world. It lasted for a blissful minute, and then he pulled away, still holding her hands. If she had been blushing before, it was nothing compared to now.
"I'm so glad to know I have you Henry…" She whispered, lifting his right hand and pressing it against her cheek as she closed her eyes and sighed. "It makes anything seem possible," she said softly, looking at him again, still holding his hand to her cheek. Then her face began to burn again, and her eyes once again filled with tears. "I just wish all my feelings weren't so mixed up right now. I hardly know what to feel," she said as she dropped his hand in order to wipe her face. Rascal chattered unhappily from her pocket, hearing her cry, and she released Henry's other hand to pull out her pet rat.
She looked down at the small animal sitting in her palms, his tail curled neatly around his paws as he sat upright and looked at her with his intelligent black eyes. He squeaked a question, and she smiled, putting him on her shoulder in his usual position. Then she turned back to Henry, feeling stronger. She took one of his hands again.
"You'll have to give me your phone number. Apparently I'm leaving from the station tomorrow with my parents, and we have a long flight ahead of us, but I will call you as soon as we get to the hotel, as soon as everything is getting settled." She cocked her head to the side slightly and smiled softly. Then she leaned forward and hugged him, pressing her face into his shoulder and wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'm so glad you're with me, Henry," she whispered.

It wasn't his first kiss but it was the most memorable kiss the young teen shared with another.
Lasting for only a minute, Henry pressed his lips aginest hers and felt himself relax. He felt himself at ease for a moment. His thoughts stopped spiraling around his mind for a moment. His anxiety was at peace.
When he pulled away a small smile faded onto his lips as his thoughts started time spiral again and his anxiety hovered over him like a rain cloud threatening to pour. However the teen distracted himself with Alexa's unique and bright green eyes, filling his sight and also the need to help her anyway that he could.
Henry heard her next words. They sounded smooth and almost sweet to his ears, letting her move his right hand to her cheek. Gently he brushed his hand aginest her cheek as he watched her close her eyes, hoping that she was feeling better than before their interaction.
"You'll always have me Alexa," Henry softly spoke as he squeezed her left hand in his own and rubbed his fingers on her cheek offering a small smile to the girl when her words met his ears again.
"I promise you'll always have me then, I won't leave you Alexa. Never," Henry replied with a smile and noticed her tears. The boy brushed his hand against her cheek but removed it when she let go and listened to her words and voice.
The teen let go of her left hand and watched her wipe her tears and comfort Rascel, the young teen waited a moment before he would take a step forward and wrap his right arm around her shoulder and gently squeeze her shoulders if she allowed him to.
If she didn't then he would rest his right hand on her right shoulder and squeeze it gently for a second then remove it since he didn't want to make her uncomfortable or force her into doing something that she didn't want to do.
"Then relax, I'll be by your side for the whole summer and long after that so right now worry about your mum then after she's better we can come to this feeling between us A," Henry spoke adding a small nickname at the end of his sentence. He was willing to wait the whole summer and even all of his third year if it meant he could see Alexa again and hug her... perhaps even kiss her again to...
The young teen was glad he came out to her and told her, the feelings that haunted his mind and suddenly he had a idea when he heard Alexa's voice.
The young teen felt his grab his left hand and he squeezed hers gently for a moment before letting go of her hand and also shoulder if she allowed it from before.
Henry would pull a pen and piece of parchment our from his jean pocket and rip the parchment in two. On one page, be would quickly with down a number before handing it to Alexa along with the blank piece and pen as he softly spoke" it's a landline but I'm moving sometime this summer holiday so perhaps you should write down your number as well? Just in case I do so I can still contact you," the young teen then would feel Alexa hug him.
He would wrap his arms around her waist and hug her tight as well, moving his hand up to her shoulders as he continued to hug her gently and tightly. Usually the teen wasn't one for physical contact but hugging Alexa felt different, it felt peaceful and brought his mind at ease a she took a breath.
"I'll always be with you Alexa and I'm glad that you with me," Henry whispered back to her words feeling himself at peace and like for a moment the whole world stopped and was frozen in time. In that perfect moment. In that memory.

So glad that @Henry Knight is there…
When Henry put his arm around Alexa's shoulders, she almost instantly relaxed. She hadn't realized how tense her body had been, until she melted against him. She leaned her head on his shoulder, and listened as he repeatedly said how he would be there for her. She closed her eyes with a sigh.
After again saying he wasn't going anywhere, he told her it was okay to have her feelings for her mom, and to think about her feelings for him later. She almost wept with relief. He understood. While she wanted to think about only herself and Henry, she had to think about her mom. How could she not? Her mom might be dying…
She shook her head slightly to rid herself of the thought as Henry wrote down his landline on a piece of parchment. She took it and studied it for a moment, automatically memorizing such an important number, even if it wasn't going to be a permanent number, since he was moving. She raised her head from his shoulder and looked into his clear blue eyes.
"Oh, where are you moving?" There was so much about him she still didn't know, but she wanted to learn everything. Before he answered she added, "Can I also have your new address? If I can't get a hold of you, maybe I can send mail." It would have to be Muggle mail at first, she thought, as she didn't have access to an owl. But maybe if he sent one with his letter, then they could correspond more quickly.
"I can't give you my telephone number… I don't know where we're going. I only know they are going to pick me up at the station." As she thought about it, she shivered in fear. This was a great unknown ahead of her, and with her mother sick, Alexa felt very vulnerable.
As they hugged, she reached up and gently kissed his cheek. "Thank you for being here for me, Henry. I promise, one day I'll be there for you, too, when you need me." She was so lucky to have him.
Sadly, she knew she couldn't stay much longer with him. As the Hogwarts Express left tomorrow, she had a monumental amount of packing to do. She wondered how she would fit everything in her trunk, and she was only finishing her second year! She would need to go through her things and throw some things away.
She looked up into his eyes again. Smiling slightly, she took his free hand and held it. "I think I have to go now, Henry, but once I'm packed can I see you again?" She felt she already knew the answer. Hers would've been the same.

Henry felt a mix of emotions all rush at him all at once. He felt relived and even calm now that he admit his feelings for Alexa and he found out that she shared them. He felt a rush of adeline as he imagined the next year and even next month, a few of his friends had crushed and girl/boyfriends so why couldn't he. However he also felt nervous and the feeling like another crack appeared in his world. What if it was a year or longer that they are apart? What if the time away would Wyatt new feelings? Or what if Alexa would find another crush or a horrifying thought popped into his mind. What if Alexa forgot about him in american?
Henry took a breath and knew be had TJ be there for Alexa, he had to comfort and help her. He had to listen to her and assist in anyway that he could for her. In the end he would remain by her side and wait as long as he had to for them to officially be a couple.
Henry squeezed her shoulder with his arm and held her hand for another moment before letting go of her shoulder but would still hold her left hand with his own left as he heard her words.
Where are we moving through?
Henry stared into Alexa's crystal clear and prefect shining emerald green eyes, squeezing her left hand a bit as he spoke" my father hadn't told me the new address or where yet but if you can't reach me then you could call or write to my brother asking for it, " Henry used the other half of the parchment and wrote down his brother's address in London and landline so if he did move without a notice they would still be in contact.
Henry would hand her the parchment while slipping the pen into his pocket. His eyes moving back toward Alexa's, Henry reached out with his left hand and grabbed her left gently squeezing it as he listened to her words. Keeping eye contact and a soft smile. Determined to be there for the girl through it all. Determined not to let his chance fly by. Determined to be the best that he could be for Alexa Mackenzie.
Henry smiled softly toward her and first cupped her shoulders with his hands before pulling her into a tight but gentle hug as he spoke" its alright then call me as soon as you reach the hotel and I'll pick up. I promise, I'll be waiting to listen to you and you can even sit in my compartment on the train if you like? Even if you don't, I'll by with you at the platform." Henry smiled toward her as he hugged her and felt her hug back. If the circumstances were different they this would have been a perfect moment.
They hugged and Henry felt her kiss his cheek. It was warm and small but it caused his insides to flushed with heat as he smiled hearing her voice in his ears.
When they would separate from their hug, Henry would reach for both of her hands. Taking them in his own and squeeze them once as he spoke"no matter the situation or trouble, through the years I'll always be by your side Lexie. Now and forever." Henry smiled toward the girl and in his mind thought they were a couple. It felt like it especially with all the kissing and hugging and handing holding and warm feeling.
Henry would continue holding her hands unless she let go when he heard her voice talking about packing. Wait packing?
Packing? Bloody hell, I still have to pack! And return those library books! Why did I wait till two days before the end of term to do everything! Merlin baggy pajamas what is wrong with me! I was suppose to have these done ages ago!
Henry offered a smile toward the girl as he spoke" I have some packing and books to return to but definitely see you later Lexie," Henry smiled and would leaned in a bit and lightly kiss the girl on the cheek.
Smiling toward her as he squeezed her hands and spoke" I'll always be with you and no matter the time if you need to talk then call me, no matter what the time is or where we are. I will always answer and be there for you, promise." Henry gazed into her green emerald eyes and smiled a bit as he spoke" hufflepuff and slytherin are close, I could walk with you if you want?"

As he handed her his brother's number and address, Alexa smiled sadly. She nodded her head in agreement about calling him as soon as she got to the hotel, realizing it would be in a different time zone even as she nodded.Knowing It Will Be The Last Time She Will See Him For A While…@ Henry Knight
He took her hand and she squeezed it lightly, holding back tears as he said he would be there for her no matter what. But could any of them really know what that meant? no matter what? What could that really entail? What could her future entail?… How could anyone know?
And it was the not knowing that was eating her up inside. What would happen to her future? what would happen to her, Her mother, her father, Henry, her friends, Hogwarts, all of it? The future was this vast unknowable thing, and suddenly it had become sinister, despite this wonderful boy holding her hand, promising he would be there for her.
When she mentioned packing, something seemed to go off in his head. Perhaps he had forgotten. Again he promised to be with her, and then asked if he could walk her To her common room. she could not deny him this, Knowing that tomorrow she would need to be by herself alone on the platform, the train, alone for all of it so she could think and think and think. There was too much going on right now to properly think. She needed time and she had so little.
"Of course, Henry. I'd really like that." holding his hand, they walked back toward their respective common rooms, and they stopped at the entrance to the corridor leading to the kitchens and her common room. she turned toward him and threw her arms about his neck, suddenly, surprising them both by pressing her lips to his. The kiss was quick but passionate, at least for an almost 13-year-old. Who had only kissed a boy once, a few minutes before.
She pulled away from him just as suddenly, holding his hands, and looking up into his clear blue eyes, successfully holding back her tears. "Goodbye Henry," she murmured. Then she almost yanked her hands away from his, as she threw herself down the corridor toward her common room, finally letting her tears spell down her face.
Alexa has left the thread.

Henry smiled toward Alexa, determined to be strong and there for her. The young teen wanted her to stay, he wanted to be with her, he wanted her.
But that was selfish and he knew it. He knew that the most he could do was be there for her, be a shoulder for her to cry on and confide in. He would do both and so much more because he loved her and wanted to help her with all her worries and problems.
Henry smiled taking her hand in his as he walked besides her to the commons rooms, smiling at her shining emerald green eyes. Squeezing her hand tight. The walk felt perfect, the moment felt like it could last a lifetime. A moment that was now a memory that would be kept inside his mind only to be pulled our and viewed when he needed to think of happy memories. Anything with Alexa usually ended with Henry smiling even if the memory itself wasn't necessarily happy.
They arrived at the hufflepuff common room. Henry squeezed Alexa's hand a bit, smiling at her and looking into her shimmering emerald eyes when he felt her arms around his neck and he naturally and rather slowly for a thirteen year old wrapped his arms around her upper back in a tight hug.
Then he felt her kiss him. Her lips against his. It was quick but passionate for two second about to be third years. Henry smiled at the kiss then let go of Alexa, taking her hands in his and smiling at her. He didn't know when the next time they would see one another, he didn't know what would change with them when their apart, he didn't know what their summers would hold.
But he did know that he cared for Alexa Mackenzie. That he loved her and wanted to help her and stand by her side for as long as he could. He wanted this moment to last forever, this moment. This single perfect moment before the storm. Before the devastating wave comes crashing down onto them all.
"Goodbye Alexa."
Henry replied back looking at Alexa with a soft smile, her emerald eyes and blazing set of red hair set in memory for the young teen. He didn't want to forget her, he couldn't forget her.
She pulled away and he watched her enter the hufflepuff common room, feeling his chest tighten as he turned and walked the rest of the way toward the slytherin common room. Alone.
