He was so relentless that he didn't even give her time to catch her breath. She was barely able to hold back her moans and groans until they were finally finished.
‘He ruined me for any other man… I am going to be really cross if he doesn’t take responsibility’ Jacklyn huffed as she slowly sat up, wincing in pain. Yeah, Harry didn’t go easy on her… He might have taken it easy on her if she had said anything, but she liked how rough he was with her, so she refrained from saying anything.
“How are you feeling?” Harry’s voice rang out, breaking her out of her musings. She turned toward the origin of the voice, only to find Harry standing at the door with two steaming cups in his hands.
Jacklyn smiled softly, but moments later, she huffed at him with a look of irritation surfacing on her face… “Sore” Jacklyn grumbled, but Harry simply gave her a lopsided grin.
“I didn’t hear you complaining even once” Harry argued back in an amused tone with a playful smile playing on his lips.
“Fair enough…” Jacklyn admitted as she smiled softly and placed her hands over her abdomen… She rubbed her abdomen. "I am pretty sure that you left me bruised and battered" Jacklyn whined and started to pout.
Harry chuckled after hearing her words and started to make his way toward her… "You might be complaining, but I think you enjoyed yourself to the fullest" Harry pointed out as he handed a steaming cup to Jacklyn. She accepted the cup and gave him a grateful smile.
She took a sip from the cup and nodded her head in satisfaction. "Not as good as Norton makes, but it's still good" Jacklyn nodded her head as started to enjoy her coffee. "By the way, how long was I out?" Jacklyn asked curiously.
"I decided to let you rest for a couple of hours" Harry answered as he sat down beside Jacklyn and took a sip from his own cup. Jacklyn looked completely horrified at his answer.
"Shit!! Why? I need as much training as I can get…" Jacklyn whined, sounding really impatient.
"We have been training for five days and you are already improving" Harry pointed out firmly. "Then your Core was also empty. After I knocked out your lights, I checked your Core and you also had a small concussion when you dropped and hit the back of your bed against the floor" Harry pointed out with a blank look on his face.
Jacklyn gave him a sheepish look… "Ohh…" Jacklyn mumbled sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her head and winced she felt the lump…
"I wanted to take you to your room, but I couldn't as I didn't want to deal with your father, so I Conjured a bed for you here" Harry added and Jacklyn couldn't help but give him a grateful look. "My Core was also nearly empty, so I needed a break too" Harry shrugged as he continued to sip coffee from his cup.
"Thanks" Jacklyn mumbled and continued to drink her coffee. After that, the two of them continued to enjoy coffee in complete silence. "Do you really think I am improving?" After a couple of minutes, Jacklyn finally asked with a hint of desperation in her voice. She knew she wasn't the best… After all, Harry was only 14 and she was always getting her ass kicked by him.
"Yes, your Power and Speed haven't improved, but your movements are becoming more efficient…" Harry answered without missing a beat.
"Though I am still getting my ass handed" Jacklyn grumbled unhappily, making Harry smirk.
"Well, I do have a couple of advantages… My stature is smaller, which means I am a small target. I am also faster than you and Magical Core is a lot bigger than yours… Almost three times bigger than yours, which means I can keep casting longer than you" Harry pointed out with a shrug. Yes, he was glad that Jacklyn couldn't defeat him anymore, but at the same time, she was also his best friend…
"Yeah…" Jacklyn muttered sullenly as she nodded her head in understanding. She could understand what he was trying to say, but it didn't mean that she was happy about it.
"Don't worry, Jacky, you will be more than ready by the time trials roll in" Harry tried to comfort Jacklyn when he noticed how sullen she was looking. "You will wipe the floor with them" Harry assured with a grin and Jacklyn couldn't help but smile at him.
"Thanks for believing in me" Jacklyn gave him a grateful look. “Can you hand me the Pain Relieving Potions?” Jacklyn requested and instead of answering, Harry simply pointed his Wand at the shelf and a Potion vial floated in front of Jacklyn. She gave him a look as she grabbed the Potion vial.
“You are getting really good at Point casting and Silent Casting” Jacklyn pointed out as she emptied her coffee cup. She placed the cup under her bed before downing the Potion in one go. She grimaced at the taste, but she easily forced herself to swallow the horrid concoction as she had gotten quite used to the horrible taste.
“Fruits of hard work, I guess” Harry mused as he also emptied his coffee cup.
“Though sometimes I still can’t believe the fact that you are only fourteen with how fast you have been progressing” Jacklyn grinned as she already started to feel better. The Pain Relieving Potion already taking its effect. “By the way, Harry, I am going to Spain tomorrow to get a couple of ingredients, wanna tag along?” Jacklyn asked and Harry immediately agreed with her offer.
Spain was the only country where the Unforgivables were still legal along with a lot of Dark Arts… He couldn’t miss this chance to get his hands on some of that knowledge. “Good, the Portkey will activate at 9.30 am sharp, and don’t mind me if I join you for breakfast” Jacklyn explained, and Harry couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at her.
He was quite aware of the fact that Jacklyn loved Norton’s cooking, but he couldn’t understand why Daniel Harper was allowing her to spend so much time with him… From what he knew about the man, the man should be throwing a fit. “Is your father alright with that?” Harry asked curiously.
The smile on Jacklyn’s face faltered and her face started to twitch… “I am not saying he was happy, but you know how the saying goes 'happy wife and happy life'?” Jacklyn spoke while looking away and even though Harry didn’t get the reference at first, his mom was more than happy to explain the reference to him.
After Lily explained the reference to him, Harry decided to drop the matter… He really didn’t want to know what Daniel and Madison Harper were getting up to… “I see… As long as he is fine with it. By the way, we are still meeting Brittany in the evening, right?” Harry asked as he jumped off the bed. Jacklyn also followed his lead and climbed out of the bed… With a flick of his Wand, Harry dispersed the bed.
“There is something else I wanted your help with…” Jacklyn said nervously while trying to look into Harry’s eyes… Harry simply raised his brows and told her to continue. “Well, you remember how I told you that it is rude to ask someone if they performed Rituals, right?” Jacklyn asked nervously.
Harry could tell where this was going, but he still told her to continue… To be honest, he didn’t know if he should answer her question or keep it to himself… Maybe his mom will be able to help him. “You don’t need to tell me which Rituals you performed or anything, but can you recommend me some Rituals?” Jacklyn blurted out her request.
After listening to her request, he didn’t give her the answer in an instant, instead, he decided to take some time… Jacklyn realized that he was probably wondering if he should accept her request or not, but in reality, Harry was having a conversation with his mom…
|Mom, what do you think?| Harry asked in an unsure tone.
|...I think you should help her. You know Voldemort will be back, right? You will need strong friends if you want to face him and his Death Eaters. I also like her…| Lily answered after a few moments of silence.
To be honest, she wanted to be the only woman or girl close to her Hadrian, but Jacklyn and Brittany were already close to him. So, instead of making him try to push them away, she decided that they might become useful in the future if Hadrian could form strong bonds with them.
Then there was also the fact that Jacklyn loved dueling… She didn’t know how the girl would fare in a real fight, but she was already showing some good signs. Unlike other girls of her age, Jacklyn didn’t have any boyfriends… She didn’t even seem to be interested in a relationship. Unlike other girls of her age, she also didn’t seem to be interested in other girly stuff…
Jacklyn was only interested in training and dueling… Lily realized that she might be reading the whole situation wrong, but Jacklyn seemed to be getting off from intense duels. She couldn’t be sure as Jacklyn never brought up boys in their conversations… In some regards, Jackalyn was quite similar to Harry.
“Okay. I will help you” Harry agreed with Jacklyn’s request while nodding his head… “By the way, we still have some time, do you have another beatdown?” Harry asked as he backed away toward the other side of the training room.
“Ohh! You are on, kiddo!!” Jacklyn wanted to pull him into a hug when he agreed to her request, but she dismissed the hug when he taunted her… Yes, she was probably going to lose, but she wasn’t going to make it easy for him…
