Still Flying High / In the Box / Together (Penelope/Krum)

Feb 02, 2006 20:11

Okay, so I'm flip flopping my characters all around these days and I thought I should do the same thing with Penelope. This is just me playing around with characters and trying something new. You have to admit, it's interesting...

“Don’t you just adore watching that man playing Quidditch?” Naomi asked from her seat on the couch, the Daily Prophet open beside her. She was drooling over the large picture of Victor Krum, one of the many in the last couple of weeks. “It says he’s currently seeing someone but refuses to give her name.”

Penelope made sure her head stayed buried in her books so her roommate couldn’t see her red cheeks and goofy smile. “Really?” she croaked and cleared her throat. “That’s sweet of him.”

“Not when I need to know, it isn’t. Some girls ruin it all.”

His letters were always sweet, written quickly but confidently now that Penelope had been able to convince him that she could understand his native language when it was written down. When he spoke it, she still had trouble piecing the words together unless he spoke slowly, but she was working on it.

This newest letter joined the others in the black lacquered box he had given her for Christmas. It had been an extravagant gift but she’d never gotten anything so beautiful before.

She pulled out a clean sheet of parchment and began a letter back to him.

Dear Krum…

“How long do you have this time?” she asked breathlessly as he sat her down gently.

“Until tomorrow at dawn,” he murmured as he kissed her blushing cheek, her nose, her top lip. “I’ve missed you, my bright penny.”

She tried not to let her cheeks flame at the endearment. Secretly, she adored him for giving her something so frivolous as a nickname but couldn’t find the strength to use the one she had for him.

“I’ve missed you,” she told him as her body took the deep breaths it had been missing since he’d been gone from her side.
