33. "we're real wizards now"
{emma pov}
We get to the park right at opening, and hurry right back to Harry Potter World. We're going to be at Islands of Adventure today, then tomorrow we will go to the other park.
Hogsmeade (the Harry Potter World at this park) is absolutely amazing. It feels like we're living in the real world of Harry Potter.
"Wow, this is insane," I say in awe, looking up and around. There's so much to see here.
"I know right? It seems so real," he grins.
"Oh my god," I gasp as the Hogwarts castle comes into view.
"I'm here incase you fall over," Shawn jokes.
"I just might," I giggle, eyes still in awe.
"Get you someone who looks at you the way Emma looks at the Hogwarts castle."
"Hey! I look at you that way." I smile.
"I know, I'm joking." his cheeks turn pink. "You've gotta start appreciating my jokes more, they're really good."
I roll my eyes and he laughs.
The first thing we do is go to the ride in the castle, it's called the Forbidden Journey. We get in line and awhile later, it's finally our turn to go.
"Ahh this is so exciting!" I squeal. I've heard so many amazing things about this ride.
We get into the cart, and soon after, we start moving. You can hear Hermione's voice, and then it takes us into another room, and it makes us feel like we're flying.
Later, it takes us into a room full of giant (fake) spiders and I scream really loud, tensing up as my grip on Shawn's hand becomes tighter. I can hear him laughing beside me. But I'm actually terrified.
This kind of ride is really cool, because you feel things too. Like when the dragon breathes fire, you feel a wave of heat.
The ride ends way too soon, and I am left speechless.
We decide to go to the shop, and we look through all of the cool merchandise.
"I think that we should become real wizards," I suggest, pulling a cloak off of the rack.
"I think... that I love that idea," Shawn grins. "But there's one more thing missing..."
We look around the store some more, and find the wands. I choose to buy Hermione's wands, because she's my favourite Harry Potter character. Shawn chooses Harry's wand.
We each checkout, buying the cloaks and the wands. I insist to pay for my own order, but he argues and ends up paying.
We walk back outside. "Okay, put your cloak on and take the wand out of the box, I wanna take a picture," Shawn requests. We both do, then we pose for some selfies.
"See, we're real wizards now," I say.
✦
When we get up the next morning, we head straight to the other park and again, go right back to Harry Potter world when we get there. This park is a lot busier than the other one.
"This looks exactly like the actual diagon alley!!!" I exclaim. "I love how the entrance is so similar too! This is like heaven, I'm living in a fictional world."
"You're so cute," he smiles, intertwining our fingers.
We ask someone where we can find places to use our interactive wands, and they tell us a few. First we go to one of the shops, and they told us it is in the front window. I open snapchat, and Shawn video tapes from both of our phones, while I wave my wand in front of the window.
When I do, the items inside the window start moving, and I jump a bit, laughing. Then I smile widely at the cameras.
The next one Shawn does, and it's in front of a big dragon statue. I start the videos, and he waves his wand happily. Water spurts out of the dragon's mouth and right onto him! I can't contain my laughter as he gets soaked with water.
"At least now I know I'm a real wizard!" he laughs.
"A very clumsy wizard," I laugh, shaking my head, and I stop the videos.
"That was actually really refreshing," Shawn says.
"I was going to tell you, but decided against it," I giggle.
"Tell me what?" he asks.
"There was a freaking puddle under the sculpture, dummy!" I laugh.
"You knew that the whole time?" he whines.
"Yeah," I giggle.
"It was worth it to hear you laugh that way," he smiles, "But you're still going to get payback!"
He comes towards me and I scream, running away. He's faster than me, though, and catches me and gives me a big, wet hug from the back as I giggle uncontrollably.
"Just don't wreck my hair, or I swear I will kill you," I warn, still laughing.
"You're such a white girl," he laughs in my ear and I roll my eyes. "Oh and by the way, your butt looks really good in those leggings," he smirks.
"Why thank you," I giggle. "You know what?"
"What?" he asks, still hugging me.
"We should get some butterbeer."
"Good idea," He smiles, and we walk to a nearby booth that sells it. We buy one to share, and it tastes amazing. It tastes just like I have always imagined it to taste like, and it even comes in a cup that says Harry Potter World on it.
"Mm, this is wonderful," Shawn says.
"Not any more wonderful than you, baby," I grin.
✦
We are going to go on the road to Atlanta soon, so Shawn and I are chilling in the bedroom.
"I can't believe you're going to be performing at Madison Square Garden in two months," I shake my head.
"I know, I can't believe I've actually come this far," his eyes open wide, "like I've always had this dream as a kid and now it's become a reality."
"I believe it," I smile, leaning on his shoulder. "You have talent, Shawn. Your voice could light up anyone's world, especially mine." I say, leaning in to kiss his lips.
"You really think that?" he asks, pulling away.
"Yes, I do," I smile, kissing him more. I put my hand on his cheek, deepening the kiss.
I'm feeling a bit spontaneous, so I bite on his bottom lip, and he parts his lips a bit, and I slip my tongue into his mouth. He continues to kiss me, and my heart is beating right out of my chest.
"Holy shit, Emma," Shawn pulls away, out of breath. "That was amazing."
I smile, breathing heavier than normal because I'm out of breath as well. He kisses me again, and my heart flutters at every single movement.
"Emma, you're starting to be more confident and I've gotta say, I really dig it." he smiles.
"Yeah, me too," I grin.
✦
"Yes!!!" I scream, jumping up and down doing fist pumps. We arrived at the hotel in Atlanta a few minutes ago, and I just successfully did a run through of what I'm going to say to Dylan without crying or even letting a single tear fall.
"Yay! Baby I'm so proud of you!" Shawn cheers, pulling me in for a hug, and lifting me off the floor. But then my expression changes and I think he feels me slouch a little. He pulls away and holds my shoulders. "What's wrong?" he asks.
"This means I'm going to actually have to talk to him soon," I worry.
"Hey," he says, "You'll be fine. I know it will be a piece of cake for you, you've been doing so great in practice. Don't worry," he smiles, pulling me into his chest again and kissing my forehead.
I know that I'll be fine, but still a part of me is scared that something will go wrong.
"What's going on in your mind right now?" Shawn asks.
"I-I'm scared," I admit.
"Of what? There's nothing to be scared of,"
"I feel like he'll hurt me again."
"Honey, he's not going to hurt you again, I'll make sure of it," he promises.
"Okay," I smile weakly, but my gut is still telling me that something bad is going to happen.
Soon later, we decide to get ready for bed, because we have another show tomorrow.
I get into my pyjamas, then I go through my usual nightly cleansing routine, taking off my makeup first, then washing my face and putting on some acne treatment cream. Then I brush my teeth and head into bed. Shawn's already there, scrolling through his phone, and once I come over he puts his phone on the nightstand and turns to face me as I get into bed.
"Goodnight," he whispers after he turns the lights off, wrapping his arms around me.
"Goodnight," I smile, even though he can't see it.
"Don't let the bed bugs bite," he teases.
"You're such a child," I laugh.
It takes me a few minutes to calm down and get to sleep, but when I do, I'm fast asleep.
Next thing I know, my eyes jolt open and I can't breathe at all.
