Closed Found A Way Home

[Felix Carnahan]

Felix was buzzing. The show had gone great, the crowd had loved it, and every one of his fellow performers were at the top of their game. But it wasn't just being back in New Zealand that had him showing off a bit. Molly said she was coming tonight. He had tried to focus on only what was in front of him but he couldn't help scanning the crowd in the moments he had on stage to catch his breath trying to find her. After catching up after Thistle and Conan's graduation they had kept their promise and kept in touch. It was easier said than done with him on the move so often. But Felix cherished every letter he got and always tried to reply as quickly as he could. He had never put it into the words he wrote but it had become clear to him how much he still loved Molly. He had been a kid when they had broken up, too stressed with lessons, quidditch, and animagus training to find time for her. It all felt so silly and unimportant now. He still felt like a kid most of the time but they were older now. More mature felt like a stretch but they had both grown up since graduation. He still didn't exactly have time for her in the traditional sense, he just hoped what he did have to offer could be enough. Still, there was a sense of apprehension as he waited by the side entrance for her to find him. He had been gone a while and they hadn't spoken of any relationships but he knew there was a chance he was too late. Felix couldn't blame her if she had moved on. But finally he spotted her and waved his arms wildly. "Molly!!" he shouted. "Over here!"

 

[Molly Burke]

Molly meant it when she said she wouldn't have missed seeing Felix perform at the circus. She had kept her word, as here she was tonight, watching Felix during his show. She was impressed by what everyone had been doing, especially Felix. They had kept in contact through letters since meeting up about a year ago. Molly had liked that they had kept in contact since then, always beaming when a new letter had arrived. She cherished the letters, writing back when she could, with her busy schedule back at the school and keeping an eye on her cousin. She kept the ever-growing letters safe in a box that she wouldn't admit that she'd reread from time to time. Molly felt like that girl back at school again. She knew and understood how full Felix's plate was. They were only kids back then, and now Molly couldn't believe how much they had grown and where they're lives and career paths have taken them. Molly walked out of the venue, smiling gleefully and proud of what she had watched. She looked around to find Felix and grinned when she heard his voice calling out to her. "Felix! Hey!" Molly says with a grin as she makes his way over to him. "That was amazing! Very Impressive, I didn't know you could do all of that" Molly says with a grin, genuinely impressed with what she had seen him do.
