Memories PV Henry Finished

It was a surprisingly sunny day, which was hard to come by in the fall at Hogwarts and lucky for Henry he already finished all his classes for the day so he changed into comfortable clothes and grab the book he was reading before making a beeline to the grounds. When he reach the ground he felt the sun blaze down and the wind blow past him as the grounds weren't crowded but held a large group of people, as he made his way through he could hear some of their conversations drifting through the wind. Henry looked for a peaceful spot to read and found on in the great oak tree where he liked to sit but was a bit surprised to see another student already there, but no matter Henry still walked that way.

As he walked through the grounds and got closer to the large tree, he recognized the student to be Miranda and he smiled when he saw her blonde hair get blown in the wind. As he continue to think she really was quite stunning and beautiful not to mention also intelligent and brave, Henry was lucky she said yes to go on a date with him and hope any other meeting wouldn't be awkward as he continued to walk to the tree. As Henry was standing below it, he recognized the tree to be where they first met except they switch places so Henry got a idea that made him chuckle a bit, as he spoke " Hello, I see someone has taken to the oak," Henry started at her river like blue eyes as he continued " mind if I join you or would you rather be alone, miss?"

Once Henry saw Miranda reply to him and make room for him on the branch, he started to climb the tree which was easier then others since someone craved foot and hand holds in the tree some time ago. Has Henry climb upon the branch and sat next to Miranda, he noticed that she mark her page and closed her book which reminded himself that he had a book or two to read up there that sat in his messager type bag that was on his shoulder. As Henry looked out from the branch and letting his legs swing a bit, he smiled as he saw a fire owl flying alone to deliver a letter or the occasional dragonfly playing in the breeze.

As Henry saw Miranda's blonde hair get blown in the wind and her clear river blue eyes almost sparkle it made Henry remember the first time they met, how he acted differently around her. How instead of feeling awkward or anxious he was calm and relaxed, like if he knew her his whole life as they sat upon that branch in their first year and it seemed like time had stopped. Henry smiled as he looked forward again and spoke " it really is beautiful up here, almost makes you forget about all your troubles and worries waiting for you that's back on the ground."

Henry heard Miranda speak and chuckled a bit at her awkward conversation usually he was the awkward and anxious one, as be closed his eyes and felt all of his anxiety and worry melt away for just a few minutes as he took a deep breath and smell everything around himself, Miranda was right it does sort of feel like your flying from up here, before Henry took a few more minutes in his peaceful and blissful world before reopening his eyes to the world that he didn't want to face right now.

Henry looked up at the sky as he saw the occasion owl fly over the canopies of the trees that sat in the forbidden forest or disappear into the owlery where their owner probably stood waiting for the letter that was attached to their leg. Henry smiled, something he rarely done anymore with everything going on and his anxiety going through the room, so much for getting better, but he was calm and at peace up on that tree with Miranda, with the right company this seems better than it really is.

Henry took another breath before turning to Miranda and speaking "the view and everything is definitely better with the right company," Henry laughed a bit and let his shoulder brush hers in a playful manner before continuing "so what brought you up here, Miranda?" Henry turned away from the view to look at Miranda's blue eyes, almost like the blue of a crystal clear blue stream if you stared long enough at them which Henry almost did.

Henry smiled at her answer, of course she came up here to get away from the chaos and also to read. I never thought about how we have many similarities not that it matters since I like spending time with her, no matter the similarities. Maybe I should tell her why I'm here or maybe I should just lie, I said I was going to lie from the start to everyone. But its Miranda she's one of my closest friends who I may have feelings more. But I made a promise to keep my life and everything hidden from everyone and these no exemptions... ugh what should I do.

As Henry thought he turned anyway from Miranda's crystal clear river blue eyed and looked back at the courtyard where a few groups of students were laughing and chatting, they seemed to be enjoying each other's company and like their was nothing on any of their minds. Henry wished for that as he struggle with if he should tell Miranda the truth and revel his summer to her or keep it a secret and hide it away from her and everyone. Henry had a tendency to hide away his emotions and not let others know his secrets but that also tended to grow his anxiety that always loomed over his head so what should the young boy do.

Henry turned back to face Miranda in her crystal clear blue eyes as he smiled and spoke " that sounds nice and your book looks interesting I might have to borrow it from the library sometime." Henry paused to take a breather before continuing "yeah, I came up here to think also. It's nice to be away from the chaos when you have something on your mind, uh-" Henry felt his anxiety grow as he feared he said to much before he pulled a book out from his messager type bag, the book was on advanced charms, he showed it to Miranda before placing it back in his bag and continuing "and also to read also," Henry turned away and looked back at the sky, you bloody idiot.

Listening to Miranda talk of charms made him smile, he knee that she wasn't that good at charms since her talents laid in defense against the dark arts. She was the top of the class, with Henry following closely behind her in second which made it good that second year Slytherin's and Ravenclaw's had the class together. Still Henry was never one to even with having all outstandings in even class except flying of course, he seemed to always earn either a E or A in that class. Henry smiled and thought it never bother him especially now with a lot more on his mind, especially since he can't tell Miranda or anyone else since he is keeping it hidden away from everyone.

Henry looked back toward the sky and closed his eyes a bit, as he felt the breeze blow past them and hear Miranda laugh, she does have a soft yet fun laugh, Henry took a deep breath as he let the smells fill his nose. It was truly a beautiful day to be on that branch with truly beautiful company, Henry felt his neck glow red with sweat from embarrassment as he opened his eyes while still looking at the sky, he spoke "it doesn't matter if your good at charms since you are at the top of the class in defense against the dark arts," Henry smiled as he turned back to her and spoke again " but if you want I can tutor you in charms and you can return the favor. Since your one if my closest friends."
