Hey Angels :)

This is mostly filler and I am not very happy with this chapter ! I hope you all like it at least !

******************

The atmosphere filled with deafening silence as everyone just sat silently, not daring to interrupt the conversation or rather our hearing and judgement. Me and Niall were still sitting on the floor next to each other while Uncle Bobs and Papa were sitting on the couch in front of us. Uncles Des and Geoff were sitting aside on the sofas with Anne and Aunty K. Ma and Mommy were sitting on the chair adjacent to us while harry and Liam were just standing behind the couch a bit far away near the windows. This feels like the scene from Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix when Harry had to go through his hearing alone in front of half of the magic ministry.

"What were you two thinking while pulling that stunt yesterday? " Papa started firing questions looking directly at us with a bit of anger and frustration. Come to think, he was all jolly minutes prior. Just how fast the Night Changes.

We remained silent and lowered our eyes while looking at each other from our peripheral vision.

"ANSWER ME" He almost shouted making us jump slightly and our eyes fill with unshed tears. I saw everyone in the room flinch but I never dared to make eye contact with Harry. Isn't this private matter and should be solved behind closed doors and not in front of this huge audience. They are becoming very dear to me but getting shouted by your Papa at 18 years of age is just outright humiliating. One time I tried to defy rules and all this happens. Alas !

"Now what ? cat got your tongue. Yesterday you two were becoming some sort of James Bond and sneaking out "

"W-we are s-sorry but nobody answered us anything and I swear we are confused too as to why we wanted to watch late night movie. It was like we had a bit of amnesia in between. " I tried to explain him as better as I could. I saw Uncle Bobs and Papa making eye contact with Ma and Mommy who looked guilty for something. Why were they feeling guilty ? I know they all are involved in this together and are a team in hiding whatever this is from us.

"I was s-scared Papi " Niall whispered looking and feeling vulnerable which turned every pair of eyes towards him, some with fear, some with sympathy and Liam had the most extreme reaction. He started walking towards Niall with his fists enclosed tightly at his sides but Harry held him back while Liam looked ready to kill.

I saw Papa and Uncle Bobs' eyes soften a bit and proceeded to question him comparatively softly.

"What scared you my star ? " Uncle Bobs asked him lovingly and comfortably in a soft tone. Seeing him speak so softly few drops of tears slide down from his eyes.

He looked with puppy eyes at me begging me to explain and so I started explaining the whole thing.

"So, when Liam tucked him in bed while he was sleeping soundly yesterday, he kinda saw a nightmare. Well..not exactly because he realized that he was in the middle of the dark forests and someone tried to...to um c-choke him but then someone said ' He is not the one, Lord ' and he was back in the room. " I summed up.

"How do you know that it wasn't a nightmare ? "

" Well...I - I ..." Niall hesitated

" Yes, my boy..what happened ? " Papa insisted softly for him to go on. Niall looked at me and I gave him reassuring smile to go on.

"I-I had marks around my wrist and neck " I heard many gasps in the room meanwhile Liam had moved close to the couch and Harry too was staring at me intensely. He was looking with questioning eyes at me with tensed shoulders. Ma moved and hugged Niall close to her chest while I never left his hand which was hold since the start.

"Papa..what is all this happening? and Where were you all last night ? please let us know." I almost begged to know the truth but I saw the look in their eyes change and I knew the walls were up. But this time if they don't let us in then we will find our own way.

"There's nothing wrong. Its just criminal rates are rising making innocent people like you prone to become victims. So never think to sneak out again ? "

"You know Papa, we already know that something is fishy here. We are not toddlers who can be fooled. Just please..let us in. maybe we can help... "

"Louis ! Not an another word. Just focus on your internship and studies and yes, do as we say. Both of you. No further discussion. We will handle this "

I immediately lost my restraint and my temper rose making me stand abruptly while still holding Niall's hand with fury and determination in my eyes.

"Fine...Try as much hard as you want to hide all this but one day we will unfold this whatever secret you are keeping from us. Promise ! " I stated them while shaking a bit but I drew strength from Niall and immediately we made our ways upstairs into our bedroom and locked the door from inside.

We sat on the bed facing each other in silence. After sometime Niall started

"Tommo...we have to be careful now "

"I have thought something Pumpkin. We will work with plan now onwards and not that silly James Bond thing. We will act like normal teenagers and will never question them about all this. "

"Yes..perfect ! Then we will do our research and will keep our eyes and ears open. We will work in the dark in search of light. I am in Tommo. "

"I really wished that they tell us all by themselves but I don't think they ever will if they get an option. We need to do this by our own. "

"We are enough, Tommo "

"I know " We cuddled under the covers for sometime and just thought through the things. After sometime we decided to change the topic and talk about other things.

" So......you and Liam, huh ? " I drawled out meaningfully meanwhile Niall's cheeks dusted pink.

"What ? I don't know what you are talking about "

" Sure..I can make you understand though. What was it ah..cute accent, soft and strong voice, getting panicked over a light punch on his tu-"

"It wasn't light "

"..Tummy, sneaking glances and oh...sharing secret smiles. What is all this ? "

"WE don't do any of this. You just read too many novels to misinterpret it."

"Fuck off Niall ! get to the point " I stated sternly making him look like a kicked puppy

"Okay...so maybe I kinda like him but...Lou its complicated "

"yeah..right ! You telling me that"

"Oh ! yes...You get it because of your Harry "

"We are getting off topic "

"No my brother dearest, now we are getting on it "

" Okay fine..you tell me yours and I will tell mine "

"hahaha..what are we, five ? " And wow it felt so relieving slapping him on face to shut him up and get talking

"Fine...I like Liam and I have never felt like that for anyone before but I think he just...cares for me because he is generally nice to people. I am not someone special to him. "

"Who are you kidding ? I have seen him act like puppy around you. He is whipped "

"I don't know tommo...I just wish he is my soulmate and will marry me someday. You know I am loud and obnoxious sometimes but I cannot have fling. "

" I know pumpkin...I know better than anyone. Don't worry if that liam hurts you he wont remain to even say sorry. I will make sure "

"Now your turn..."

" where do I start ? "

"This morning.." And he was smirking. Blondie !

"Well...that was an accident. "

"You fell on the bed was an accident I agree..but what happened afterwards did not look like an accident "

I knew I was blushing badly as if I did something really dirty. Oh god !

" I just lose control whenever he comes around me. I loose all the sense and all I care about is being with him and just..I don't know what is all this. Worst part..he don't even care about me and abruptly his mood changes. One time his sweet and the other his regular arrogant conceited annoying mysterious self "

"Bro..you are halfway through love "

"Bro...you are too "

"Fuck you "

" more like Fuck Liam "

" As if you don't want Harry to make you scream his name "

I hid behind the pillows because I was too embarrassed to face him while he cooed at me. After some more bickering and dirty comments from niall we made our way downstairs and maintained the pretence.

When we entered the living room, we saw all the pairs of eyes turned towards us and all the whispering stopped immediately. It seemed that they were discussing something very important and lately I realized that harry and Liam were sitting near the windows far away from elders lost in thought.

"Oh there you two are ! Come, we have decided to watch movie today. Harry and Liam are also not going office and today we will just relax and let our mind be stress free " Mommy exclaimed happily.

I saw everyone smiling and taking their place near the TV and huddled together under the blankets. At least now everyone are back to behaving civily and jolly. Mommy and Papa sat on the couch, ma and uncle Bobs in the recliner chair which is jumbo in size, Uncle Des and Anne on the sofa while Uncle Geoff and Aunty k beside them covered in blankets. The atmosphere outside was becoming cloudy and dark making it perfect weather for having movie marathons and cuddles and.....um making love. I am blushing just by thinking of it well..who wouldn't ?

Harry and Liam moved towards us and sat on the carpet on the floor cross-legged while leaving large space in between. Weirdos ! Hearing about movie Niall became a ball of energy and started shouting

"I call for HARRY POTTER MARATHON "

And some of the people groaned while some just stared fondly at Niall *cough Liam cough*

"Niall....atleast ask others before screaming. " I whispered in his ear. He gave me maniac smile and retorted " If you wanna watch some ugly old wrinkly people movie then you will ask or else leave it to me Tommo. You are too sweet not to oblige them "

I rolled my eyes and started making my way towards the center and realized that the only space left is between harry and liam. Ugghh...that means I have to sit next to harry for god knows how many hours and I wont e able to enjoy it. Okay..but tiny miny part of my tummy somersaulted.

I made my way and sat next to him but not before getting my floral blankie and Niall's foodie one with lots of food figures drawn on it. I adjusted quietly and covered myself with blankie till chin and leaned backwards on the couch. I felt smooth fingers threading in my hair and saw that Anne was just caressing me from above. I smiled gratefully at her while I saw Harry saw weirdly at us and raised his one perfect eyebrow in surprise. Anne just smirked at him and continued caressing my hair. Ha...My team !

Niall was almost skipping around finding our CD collection and adjusting the TV and finally got everything done. He was about to shout again but as soon as his eyes made contact to us or especially Liam he talked in his normal voice.

" Instructions : You will get a single 5 minutes break between one movie and then the movie will continue till the last part. If you are late then the movie wont be paused and-"

"Captain Niall..can you just start now. I have all your rules memorized. "

"Papi...you know but not all who are present here knows. Don't interrupt me now! So as I was saying that movie wont be paused in between. Any doubts and please no murmuring or making out " He cocked his hip and placed his little hand there standing as if some kind of celebrity.

"Your Highness, can you please start the movie now ? " I sassed him bevause he is just wasting time and annoying us all.

He scrunched his nose in annoyance and started making his way towards us and sat on his blankie bouncing on it but lately he realized that he was sitting next to Liam and blushed crimson. I chuckled quietly and he glared at me. He started the movie and I realized that the windows and doors were open so I quickly snatched the remote and paused it making him scream in my ears about his so called rules

" Tommo what the fu-freak ? I said No Pausing "

"Close the curtains of the doors and let the windows open then and only then will I give you back your remote."

"Why do I have to do that ? Do it yourself "

"Because I am comfy here, pretty please ? "

"Hmm...okay ! just because you said please and you owe me a big ice cream tub, chocolate shake and double cheese pizza "

"What are you....freaking eating machine ? where do all that go in that tiny tummy of yours "

"In the gutter Toomo Duh ! everyday in the morning.."

"Ew ew ew..you are so vulgar. Yuck ! "

"Don't blame me..you asked "

"Now cut this argument here you two. What are you, twelve ? "

" Tommo started "

"Real mature..just like your Papa" Ma scolded him but it seems it was jab to uncle bobs too..uh oh ! After settling everything we started the movie and the first part of the series commenced.

I never get bore of Harry potter movies. They are mine and Pumpkin's favourite. During the movie I saw every couple almost whispering to each other while sharing chaste butterfly kisses which made me blush and smile. This is what we all needed. The movie continued on and on till fourth part. In between, I got myself ice cream, Niall got his whole lot of food and all the ladies brought some snacks for everyone.

Now you must be wondering where are my siblings so, they had their little get together with some friends and little twins are at kindergarten. How I wish they were also there and this whole family time will be even more joyous. I don't understand why they were sent to school and at friends house and not us. I mean after all I am the eldest one Shouldn't they be kept more indoors seeing they can be more prone to whatever crime they were talking about.

As the movie continued I grew more restless as I knew that Cedoric Degree will die in this part and that's why I never watch the end and end up crying. I especially don't want to cry today in front of this many people so I dared to speak in the middle of the movie

" Can we like skip this now and continue with 5th part ? There is nothing important left n this one anyway "

" If you wanna cry then go in other room, but I am not gonna stop till the end. I know you will cry in few minutes Tommo..."

Niall said without even looking at me, too much engrossed in movie

I was too embarrassed by this. Now everyone will knew that I always cry while watching..especially the two new additional mountains in our life. Ni-ol and his loud mouth !

" I don't cry...you do "

"Sure Jan " He replied with his sarcastic smile.

"If u wanna cry , then i will be here for you to hide your face in my chest, Louis " Harry whispered in my ear and I AM NOT READY FOR ALL THIS SWEET WHISPERING ! Jesus..give me a warning.

I snapped my head towards him and saw him smirking at me and again i was caught off guard by his beauty and aura. I couldn't help but stare at his green orbs but then someone coughed a bit which broke our intense staring. I wonder what it would be like to really savour the Sweet and Loving Harry as my own without any uncertainity and insecurity. I never in my life was mesmerized  by any man...until i met Harry. He just crumbled all the walls which i built around my heart and made me vulnerable. I am not even sure if i should be happy or sad.

I saw the  approaching of Cedoric's death and made my way in the kitchen to escape that scene subtly. I made my way in there and just waited near fridge. Mommy always kept a paperpad and pen in the kitchen..so i took that and started scribbling whatever came into my mind to pass the time till the movie gets finished.

I wrote something along with my imagination...nothing in particular. I dont know how the ideas came but it was like the pen was just writing it by itself.

You made me feel
        All unknown things
You made me see
        The other side of dream
You gave me tingles
        The moment i saw you
You made me realise
        Maybe, i can't have you
You made me bittersweet
        With your charmingness
You gave me all your shades
        I hate that i cant hate           
I want to be your forever
        You made me dream of something, i cant have ya

I finished writing the poem and when i looked up i almost screamed but i definitely gasped clutching my heart in fright. I saw Harry standing there leaning on the doorframe and just looking at me and not with his signature smirk. Dare i say that he was just soaking me in with his intense stare.

" So...what is our little sneaky goody shoes doing here in kitchen...let me guess..escaping the tears ? "

I want to punch him in his perfect face and then kiss it better. I am officially loosing my nerve cells. Before i can reply..he looked at the paper and pen in my hand and i tried my best to hide the poem with my hands but his sharp eyes caught it.

He walked flawlessly towards me as if on mission and now with his usual cocky smile in place

" Ah ! So...my Louis wrote something..."

Did i hear correctly ?

" i am not yours " i mumbled  but he ignored it and continued making his way towards me...his gaze fixed on paper. I am never for once that guy who writes poem and flaunt it. I have never showed my poems to anyone except for Pumpkin..because first, i am very insecure and second, they are not good enough for people to read. And i cannot let Harry read it so..i tore that page from paperpad and hide it behind my back.

" Uh oh ! Now now kitty...dont hide that masterpiece from me "

" its nothing important " i tried to scurry away from him and ran from the little gap between him and the kitchen counter...Key word here..TRIED !

His hand immediately came out at lightening speed and blocked my way by grabbing my waist. He pulled me backwards towards him and a little squeak escaped my mouth. My back collided with his hard chest making all the tingles come alive but i kept the paper tightly hidden in my fist. I am not giving up without a fair fight. He was laughing quietly watching me struggle in his tight grip which for a second made my determination waver.

He leaned down almost folding me into half and may i say in very awkward position because my bum was against his manhood making me stiffen and conscious. I heard him take a huge waft of breathe and tried to unfasten my fist in which he succeeded and snatched it from me.

His grip on me loosened making m turn around and i tried snatching that paper from him. His one hand gripped my waist tightly to make me stop jumping to get the paper which he held high with his other hand.

He started reading the poem making me so much uncomfortable  that i stopped fighting and looked at my feet..preparing myself for embarrassment and laughing that will accompany after he will read that immature romantic thing. I almost closed my eyes but then heard him..

" Lou...this is beautiful ! Who inspired you to write this ? "

" its just ordinary scribble "

" Lou...dont disregard your talent like that.. i am saying its beautiful..just accept the compliment "

I stood there staring at that weirdly beautiful creature in front of me blushing.

" T-thanks "

" You didnt answer my question ! For whom you wrote that "

" N-nobody..its just imaginary " I mean...it was truth because i never wrote it for anybody..that's different that my heart is showing me some blurry image of curly haired lad..but i wont pay attention to it because lets face it...it will make things more complicated

After hearing my reply his jaw tightened and demanded answer again but now in his unique arrogant way

" Did you lie to me about boyfriend ? Do u have one or some crush ? Who that damn boy ? "

Woah woah woah ! What is wrong with him. His gripped tightened and i gasped a bit seeing his reaction and actions. His eyes were spitting fire and call it instinct...i just couldnt help myself and leaned my head on his strong rapidly beating heart and just sighed...i dont know why i did that but at that time i just wanted to calm him and i wasnt able to think anything else. I heard his sharp intake of breathe and then his grip loosened to his normal tightness around my waist and slowly he put that paper on the counter and cupped the back of my head. I withdrew when he returned to normality and whispered as to not break the calm silence.

" i never lied to you about....that "

He looked in my eyes as if peeking at my soul and slowly withdrew fully from me.

" I want this poem in your final semester draft. This is order from your Boss "

He gave me his usual boyish grin and skidded his way in the room. Hearing the noises...i guess..the movie was over. What a time and energy consuming moment i had ?

After i was aware that i was alone and nobody was spying on my work..i let a small smile slip from my lips. He LIKED my poem !

I folded the paper carefully and placed it the pocket on my leggings and made my way outside..trying to act causal...so nobody questions my absence during the end. But not always we get what we want..right ?

" Smooth escape Tommo "

I WILL KILL THIS BLONDIE !

" I was just doing...um stuff in kitchen.. I guess you don't want chocolate shake which i made..fine"

Niall gave me his puppy eyes and almost climbed in my lap. So yeah..before leaving i managed to get chocolate shake for me and him. I gotta have some backup plan  anyway.

I was searching place to hide the other shake in my hand when someone grabbed it and placed it on the other side of the sofa. Of course...that person was Mr. Curly Styles. I dont know why he is showering me with all his help and softness lately.

I think Liam saw the exchange and glared at Harry...but then he whispered something to Niall who had a maniac grin and just tackled me to get to the other side and snatched his shake over happily. Me and Harry were gaping at them who got lost in their soft thank you's and my pleasure's ! So...teams huh ! Its so on.

" Now stop this Harry potter thing...Lets watch something else" Papa exclaimed

Niall was so ready to protest but then Liam and many more agreed and he just gave up huffing and scoffing that nobody can get bored of Harry and Draco...yeah..he has this celebrity crush on Draco.

" Not everyone is here to swoon over Draco...Niall " Papa pointed out with a small laugh making Niall go cherry red while Liam didnt look so happy hearing this. His jaw tightened and behaved as if he didnt hear that. For me..i was laughing my big ass off..

" Papi...its not just because of Tom Felton"

"Ooohhh...Sure " i teased him

" Dont act as if you don't have his pictures in your phone and don't get me started on Matthew " He said smugly and now its my time to blush and shy away.

Before i can say anything...the desperate one spoke

" Who is  this Matthew..?" Can he just give this a rest. Why is he so interested in my non existent love life. Now its getting weird !

" Nobody " Niall said while giving him creepy smile and Harry just narrowed his eyes in frustration.

" NOW...i think it was enough of movies...lets do something fun " Ma exclaimed making half of the people groan and half of them were delighted...

" No ways Mom..i wanna watch movies and be lazy "

" You are always lazy Niall...so dont act as if you move mountains daily"

" I too don't wanna do anything " Because i was also enjoying slugging around on blankets and eating junk food.

" What are with you guys ? Acting like Granpa.." Harry so respectfully commented on which everybody started laughing.

Me and Niall glared at all of them and as soon as i was trying to retort back...the door bell rung cutting off any sort of conversation. Everybody else were tensed as if it was some monster waiting outside. I think i saw...Harry taking huge breathe...as if sniffing and his eyebrows scrunched. Weird !

" Everybody go back in the room...i don't want anyone to come out until i say so...Louis and Niall...don't even utter a word..No questions. Only ladies and you both stay here...nobody should know that we are here "

Confused doesn't even begin to cover what i was feeling...i saw Uncles and Aunties and papa along with Lirry ( thats what i call Harry and Liam duo...cool , right ? ) go into the back room while Mommy and Ma started spraying room fresheners of some odd flavours...eww..it did not smell that pleasant. Me and Niall arranged everything with lightening speed and then i proceeded to open the door.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT I WAS IN FOR ANOTHER SHOCK BY SEEING WHO STOOD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR !
