I know I never make this easy.....---TBD

I lifted her up and what she told me nearly made me drop her. I mean, of course I loved her. I just wasn't expecting to hear it from her right then. I looked down and grinned at her. "And I love you, Lenni," I told her. I did set her down gently, that way I could lean in and give her a proper kiss.

I leaned up to him, put my arms around his neck and pulled him close. Breaking it, I smiled. So well, my brother was right.....will I tell him that....NO WAY. I knew I was getting scooped back up in his arms to go back to the tower. " I suppose you aren't going to want to go do something.." I asked him. I knew he would say no to the flying....but I figured I'd try. " We could go flying?" I said making a plea bargain as sitting i nthe common room was fun and all. but it was exciting to be outside. Although we can just cuddle up by the fire. hmmmm

"No flying," I told her softly. "But I can make a deal... I know you love the outdoors... why don't we get changed into something comfortable and head outside with a blanket and sit by a fire out there? It'd be more personal and peaceful." I looked at her and hoped that I made a good compromise.

I loved the sound of that. " That sounds great!" I said as I got up and walked up to the dorms and figured into a pair of my track pants with a tank top and just steal one of George's sweaters. I put my hair in a ponytail and hobbled over to the boys dorm, " George can you please bring me one of your sweaters. His sweater was more comfortable than mine.

I was coming down the stairs as she said that. "Already grabbed your favorite," I said, tossing it to her. I had changed into some sweats and t-shirt and had a jacket for myself. I had also grabbed us a blanket. "Don't you look all cute," I added, enjoying seeing her dressed down as much as I loved seein gher dress up. Not a lot of people got to see her this casual.

I smiled and stuck my tongue out at him. " Thank you." I said as I took the blanket from him. " This is my favourite one too.." I said with a smirk. " Thanks darlin'" I said as I leaned on him as we left to go sit outside. I'll be honest anywhere I was with him. I was happy.

I took us out to the shore line and laid the blanket down. I helped elena get down... she seemed to get a little more sore as teh time went on. I figured she'd enjoy being pampered for only a little while. She hated being dependent. I waved my wand and started us a fire. I sat down with her and put my arm around her. "You know you better take it easy the next few days," I told her.

I sighed, " I know....but I know you'll be there to do it." I said with a smile as I leaned on him as I traced his chest. Looking over to the fire, and up at the sky. " It's beautiful. "

"Yeah yeah... you've practically have got me wrapped around your finger," I told her honestly. Normally I wouldn't bend over backwards to help a girl like this. But my god, I would bend over backwards, break my back, et cetera et cetera just to make sure elena was happy and okay.

I raised my eyebrows, " Hmmm... I like this. " I said with a smirk as I twirled around my hair. " You know I won't take advantage of this right.." I told him feeling like he should know.

"Mmhmm," I said sarcastically. I figured she would eventually or at one point in time, but I didn't believe she'd do it all the time. At least not on purpose. That's why I didn't mind telling her that.

I gave him a light punch on the arm, " Shut up.." I said with a laugh. I would not...at least not all the time. I don't think I would take advantage at all. Well, again not at once. I leaned back, " You know it's a beautiful sky.."

leaned backwith her and looked at the stars. "You know... sort of makes me wish I'd pay attention in Astronomy," I mused, a slight smile on my face.

I smiled, " I love Astronomy..which is why I get to have a sky light in my room." I said to him, it was simple my dad did it for me. " My dad knows I find it oddly calming to look at the sky. " I told him. " It was either keep me busy with a book....or I looked at the stars...it was actually one instance where Me and my mum got into a fight and dad knew where to go. I have a tree fort out back...did you see it?" I asked him sitting up.

"I think I may know what you're talking about,' I said. I could vaguely remember having seen something... but I can't say I really investigated it much.
