The Queen's Court *ON HOLD FOR EDITING*

*Lady Veronica's POV*

I found him sprawled under the willow trees in the palace garden. Chocolate swirl hair meshed with the green grass underneath him. His eyelids were closed and he seemed so serene, I almost didn't want to disturb him. Almost.

I quietly snuck up to him and shouted at him. His eyes flew open and his hands were immeadiately on his sword. When he saw me his eyes returned to normal and he shook his head.

"Nay Roni! I nearly skewered you!" He pulled me in between his legs and I rested my head on his chest. I felt his warm kisses being pressed down the top of my head, and I shut my eyes against the warm summer breeze.

Harry began to rock me back and forth in his arms, humming an old drinking song. I'd never felt as safe in my life as I did now, pressed against the warmth of his chest, with his heartbeat steadily pounding a rhythym into my shoulder.

"Are we in love Harry?"

I felt the pace of his heartbeat quicken and he stilled underneath me. Green eyes wide with confusion and mouth parted slightly open.

"Are we in love Harry?" I asked again, more force behind my words. He blinked a few times before nodding and kissing my chin reassuringly.

"Aye. I think so. I haven't loved in awhile. But I feel something with you. But alas, do you not love the prince Jefferson?"

I clucked my tongue against the roof of my mouth and tapped a beat into his pants.

"Aye. I do. But not in the same way I love you. " His body relaxed and I began to trace his name on his chest. He lifted my chin to him, and I closed the empty air between us, running my hand through his locks as his lips dipped further into mine.

He leaned so he was over me, never once breaking our sign of faithfulness and I began to wonder if my lungs would collapse as he continued.

"Ohhhhh.....Veronica...yes." He groaned into my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he tipped us back even more, lying me flat on the tickling grass as he began to run his nose along my neck.

"Harry..."

We kept going, deeply engrossed in each other, not even hearing the footsteps approaching us.

"Veronica!!! What in the bloody HELL are you doing?!?"
