Red Ivy

Harry bumped my shoulder softly and asked "Can you feel the magic around Jacob?" I blinked and concentrated. I took a deep breath and said "Shape shifting magic. Its dormant." Harry nodded. This was one more thing me and Harry gained easily after the horcrux left us.

We could feel magic around us. Ron , Hermione and Ginny were also learning to sense magic and when we told them to sense it they nodded in surprise. We chatted and the sun started to set. Andy came to call us back and I lifted teddy from the sand who made a fuss.

We bid goodbye to Jacob and went home. When I thought of the pact between the Cullens and the Quilettes I felt a stuffy feeling in my chest. One was my relative and other my ... Friend. I pushed the feeling down and shook my thoughts out.

It was best not to think about it. The next day me and Ginny went to the Cullen house where Alice and Max were waiting. Alice was bouncing and she dragged us into her car. She and Ginny started chatting about fashion immediately.

I turned to Max who was staring at me. He said "You look beautiful." A blush formed on my face and I fought to keep it down but was unsuccessful and smiled at him "Thanks. Yesterday you were telling me about how you draw?"

And from there conservation flowed easily. I learnt that Max was an artist. He had a look in his eyes when he talked about painting. I sat mesmerized staring at his eyes. He gave me a sloppy smirk when he saw me staring and I turned away embarrassed.

When we reached the mall Alice dragged me to the clothes shop and started giving me clothes to try on. I have to admit her style was impeccable. When I told her that she beamed. Max told me "You make her very happy. Thank you." I looked at him and said "You and Alice are my friends. There is no need of Thankyou."

He looked at me for a moment and asked "You and me are friends?" I cocked my head to the side and asked back "Are we not?" He asked "You and me are just friends? Nothing more?" My breath stopped and I replied back breathlessly "What do you want us to be?"

He took me to the side and said "Ivy. From the first day I felt attracted to you. You are just so unique and enchanting. So will you be more than friends and be my girlfriend?" I looked back at him and he looked nervous.

I looked down at his hand and entwined my hand with his and said "Will you be more than friends and be my boyfriend?" He let out a breath and came close to my face. My lips were partly open and his cold lips finally touched mine. Fireworks. I felt fireworks in my heart and butterflies in my stomach.

My hands went to his hair which was so soft. I closed my eyes and pulled him closer. He deepened the kiss and I responded back. Then we heard a gasp and seperated to see a gleeful Alice and a shocked Ginny. I sheepishly smiled back at her.
