His hair blew softly in the wind back and forth slowly. He was sitting up with his left leg flat on the ground and his right propped up on top of it. His hands were behind him, supporting his position comfortably. His eyes were closed, but he could hear every sound. The grass swishing, the lake's small waves going up and down the shore, even the swallow crowing five yards away. His lips twitched up into a smile, his eyes still closed.

Kailey came up from behind him and sat down next to him. She put Sarah on her lap, and Sarah's bag on her other side. She leaned to the side and leaned her head on Ben's shoulder. "I missed you."

Ben simply hummed. Finally he opened his eyes, a bright crystaline silver. "Surely you didn't. Who would miss a simple blind boy?" He smiled, and let his head rest on hers. "Aw, just kidding Kai, you know I know you missed me. Besides, it's good to be back. The school I was going to was horrible." He paused, closing his eyes again and laughing. "One kid though, a hypnotizer, tried to hypnotize me. It took him a good fifteen minutes to realize I was blind. What a laugh I had that day."

Kailey smiled and moved closer, sighing. Sarah crawled from her lap to Ben's. "Hi daddy." Even though Sarah wasn't his child, Sarah called him da, dad, and daddy. It didn't bother Kailey much. Ben never seemed to mind and always paid Sarah as much attention as a real father would.

Ben's hands found their way to little Sarah. Smiling behind closed eyes, he let them find her face. "Hello little one, did you miss daddy too?" Many times he wished he could see her face, but he never let it bother him much. At first, he had tried to get her to call him Benny, but after awhile he just gave up. Head still crocked over her own, in Sarah's direction he murmured, "She teething yet?"

"Keep your fingers away from her mouth." Kailey muttered. "Shes in the biting stage." Kailey kept one hand on his knee.

He hummed an agreement. There wasn't much to say at the moment, with the wind blowing softly and Sarah playing in both of their laps. Ben put his hand over Kailey's and brought it to his face. He hummed again. "So soft... just like I remember it. Baby soft didn't I used to call it?"

"I seem to recall you saying quite a few things involving me or babies. Baby soft skin, sleeping like a baby, being your baby..I could go on and on you know." She smiled and kissed his cheek, pulling her hand from his to play with his hair.

"Ah, yes that I do." He fell silent again and let her play with his hair. Then he remembered something. "So, what has happened during my absence? Parkinson and Malfoy still brats? If they're giving you any trouble at all, send me on them. I'm sure they're due for a good thrashing anyway." He laughed a little at his own joke.

"The usual. Drama, threats, rumors, hexes, spells...My parents disowned me because I refused the dark lord, right in front of him. Almost got myself killed too." She muttered. "Malfoy's still an a.ss, Parkinson still a pugface b.itch. Fred Weasley is angry at me for saying "millions of siblings" to him, even though I honestly didn't mean it as an insult." Kailey pressed her face into his shoulder, inhaling slowly. She could finally lean on him again.

He closed his eyes and hugged her close. She smelled the same, felt the same, yes, he was home at last. "You have no idea how I missed you. I thought of you everyday. I almost got myself killed at least once or twice myself, but I believe you've had a worse time." He chuckled a little. "Yes, yes you have. Do want me to tell you what happened to me, love?" There he went again, calling her love. If he could he'd roll his eyes, but he simply sighed. How quickly he had fallen for her, but then again, it wasn't hard not too.

Kailey smiled again, rubbing his back lightly with one hand and wrapping her other arm around his neck. "Yes hunny, what happened to you?"

"Ah," he said quietly, "the interesting part." He paused, obviously thinking. "Most were muggles at the school, normal people if you will, but this school was for endowed, like me and those that were gifted in the arts, music, or drama. You'd fit nicely in that last catagory, but that's just me. Well anyway, there were good endowed, and bad endowed, and I became one of the good. Charlie, the leader of the good endowed was a picture traveler. Wonderful ability, but it would be obviously of no use to me. Then there was Manfred, the leader of the bad, a fire starter. He was originally the one who tried to hypnotize me but he lost that ability. Unfortunately he gained a new one and well... yeah. He would've killed me with his endowment if I hadn't used my mind crush on him before he did." He pointed to a dark spot on his left arm. "That's where he hit me the hardest. I moved back here after I helped Charlie rescue one of his friends."

Kailey leaned forward and kissed his arm lightly. "I'm sorry sweetie. Your back with me though." She leaned against him again. "I missed you soo much. You missed my birthday. And Sarah's." She leaned her head back to look up at him.

"She's 2." Kailey muttered, before pulling his mouth against hers. She waited 6 months, and she wasnt waiting any longer, to be back with him. "You still taste the same." She muttered against his mouth.

"Hmm. Finally, a kiss! You know if we keep doing this, Sarah will permanently think I'm her father even though I don't mind of course." He kissed her back. "You however, taste different. Or is that just dessert? I don't recall you ever tasting of... cherry pie before I left." He smiled at her, his unseeing silver twinkling brightly.

"I hate cherries..."Kailey muttered. She pressed her face against his neck, holding onto him tightly.

"Must be you then." His eyelids drooped a little. "Hey, I'm not done unpacking yet... maybe I could sneak you into the common room and you could.. ahem, help me?" He smiled a little.

"The Room of Requirement might be a little more approprate for me to...'help' you. And Marie can take care of Sarah." Kailey kissed his neck, hearing a crack. She turned to see Marie, a house elf, walk over and take Sarah and Sarah's bag. Kailey smiled as Sarah wrapped her arms around the houseelf's neck and wave before another crack and Marie dissapeared. Kailey smiled and slid into Ben's lap, kissing him and pushing him onto his back.
