Cam 46 -Charges and changes

The first thing the police do is have Harry release Simon and they put Simon in handcuffs. The moment he is no longer needed to restrain Simon, Harry is at my side and pulling me into his arms in a tight hug. I immediately melt into his hold but only for a few seconds. before I shove him away and begin checking him for injuries. He took a pretty nasty fall at the start there when Simon surprised us.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” I worry, poking and prodding at Harry’s arms and trying to step behind him to get a better look at his back. Harry steps around me, places his hands on the sides of my shoulders and pulls me around to face him.

“Relax, I’m fine. Nothing worse than a few bruises. If I didn’t know better I’d think you were angling to get a look at my ass.” He winks at me and I glare.

“This isn’t funny!” I object, crossing my arms over my chest. Harry sighs.

“I know, but I really am fine.” He promises. I narrow my eyes and examine his face, searching for any sign of pain or hint that he might be lying but he does seem totally okay. I reluctantly give up my examination.

With Simon loaded into the back seat of the police car and locked in, the police come to talk

to us.

“Why don’t you tell us what happened here exactly.” The older of the two ask. He’s a kindly looking gentleman and I have no trouble talking to him and explaining that Simon is a friend. of my grandmother and their attempts at setting us up and my ultimately‘ rejecting him. It explain that he’s been messaging me and I suspect stalking me and the messages have been getting increasingly aggressive.

“I was just at the point of going to the police when this happened. Harry and I were out at dinner and he took me home, we were on the doorstep and Simon just showed up and began to attack Harry, he was ranting about how Harry is manipulating me and that I’m not in my right mind. He pushed me, but he was mostly attacking Harry. Then Harry just… well honestly I’m not sure what happened exactly but Harry did something with his magic, then while Simon was distracted he totally kicked his ass.” I turn to Harry.
