94- Allergic

This was ridiculous. Completely nonsensical in fact.

He was sitting in a muggle emergency room because he’d taken Tylenol. A medication he’d been assured no-one had allergic reactions too. Yet here Reid was. He’d only had a headache to begin with, and a slightly sore arm from where he’d been hit during one of the stunts. Now however he was much worse.

His hands were swollen, a rash had broken out around his mouth and earlier he’d actually stopped breathing. All because the doctor believed that no-one was allergic to Tylenol. Except Reid, who quite clearly was allergic to Tylenol.

78- Authors Choice Title: Ye I Walk Through the Shadow of the Valley of Death
This was wrong. He wanted to scream and rage at the injustice of it all. But he couldn’t. Reid was unable to break now, even when he was surrounded by so much death.

First Alexander had died when they were but children, left to his fate by parents who had favoured their younger son, then it had been Reid himself that was on deaths door from a disease that he had ignored until it was too late. Yet never had Reid felt so close to shattering as he did now, as he watched the burial of his sweet baby girl.

51- Act

People said that he looked happy. That they looked happy. That they were the perfect couple once more. That he’d obviously come to his senses after having done the most despicable thing on Earth, falling in love with a woman who wasn’t his fiancée.

Reid hated everything. They were happy, well she was happy at least, and he hadn’t come to his senses, because he still loved the girl who was most definitely not his fiancée.

Yet whenever he was asked if he and Sienna were happy he’d lie.

It was all an act and he’d lost his only escape.

6- Divination

Reid had always thought Divination was somewhat a waste of time. Only now he placed more credence in his professor who had stated that he and Si would be together for a very long time.

Reid already knew that though. Because gazing into Sienna’s eyes Reid couldn’t imagine a future without her in it. To do so would be anathema.

Reid didn’t need a crystal ball to tell him their future, all he needed was the look in her eyes that screamed love if one only looked close enough to see it.

It was a look that whispered of forever.

10- Arithmancy

A year ago Reid had sworn he could see his future in Sienna’s eyes, he no longer could.

That world had come crashing down after the forced move to London and his meeting with the most beautiful girl on the planet, no universe.

Sienna had no idea that their world had started to crumble after Reid started Hogwarts.

For who would have thought that while doing sums in Arithmancy one would realize that their future lay, not with the first girl they’d ever loved, but with one they barely knew?

His path in life had changed, all thank to Arithmancy.

61 - Kiss

He’d locked lips with plenty of other girls before and never had he felt this high. Kissing had meant nothing, it was affectionate yes, but really unimportant in the scheme of things.

Yet now it seemed infinitely important.

Watching Sienna walk away from him Reid couldn’t stop the smile from spreading across his lips.

That had been the most important kiss of his life, and it had just been a peck on his cheek. It was going to be replaced now though, by the most important kiss either of them would ever share because,

‘With this kiss, I thee wed.’

81 - Depression

Reid hated history, at least modern history. Ancient History was the bees-knees. This stuff, not so much…

There was no glory in learning about how many people lost their lives or livelihoods during the Great Depression following the stock market crash of 1929. It was just…well… depressing.

Did they really need to know how badly a stock market crash could affect them all? Most of them weren’t even investing, and most of their parents only had small portions of their money in stocks.

When the bell rang all Reid could do was thank Merlin that the Great Depression was over.

13 - Quidditch

When Reid’s friends said they were going to play Quidditch and asked if he’d come he hadn’t hesitated in giving an answer in the affirmative. It’d been too long since he’d felt the freedom Quidditch gave him.

He was now regretting agreeing.

Apparently his friend’s idea of a good game of Quidditch involved running around with a broom in your hand and trying to grab the balls off the other players. Unfortunately this was not Reid’s idea of fun. Actually it was his idea of hell.

The only thing that made this travesty tolerable was that his team was winning.

84 - Angry

They say that there are seven stages of grief.

Denial.

Anger.

Bargaining.

Depression.

Acceptance.

Reid had already been through them all multiple times in his life and he knew that they normally came in the order that was posited. But this time they didn’t.

Reid had already passed through Denial and Depression, and right now he was in the bargaining stage. Sienna was foremost in his mind as he prayed to any higher power to give him one more moment with his wife.

A month later when there was absolutely no change in her condition all he felt was angry.

2 - Muggle Studies

Camera’s kept flashing and Reid was nearly going blind from them. His new movie had just come out so he should have been expecting the attention. But he hadn’t been. This was a school event, a fieldtrip as it were and Reid had thought he’d been successfully blending in.

He looked like just another school boy in uniform walking along behind his teacher. But now he was caught on candid camera and his teacher was doing nothing to help. She was too fascinated watching what the papz were doing.

Reid shouldn’t be surprised though. She was the Muggle Studies teacher.

93 - Chicken

Reid leaned over the toilet dry heaving, attempting to get the flavour from his mouth. It was horrible, the worst Bertie Botts Every Flavour Bean he’d ever gotten, and he’d had vomit and earwax flavoured ones before!

But this! Well this he couldn’t deal with. As soon as he’d bitten into it he’d wanted to be sick. Just the taste of it had him shuddering.

He’d gotten Chicken!

As a vegetarian of eight years Reid could no longer stomach even the simulated flavour of meat.

After this he was never going to eat another Bertie Botts Every Flavoured Bean again.

20 – Hogsmeade

Reid couldn’t help but frown as he walked around the picturesque little village they were filming in. It was meant to be a romantic movie, and the setting certainly fit, but it felt too much like another town he’d been in, especially when they set up the picnic basket and directed him to sit down across from the woman playing his girlfriend. She even looked a little like Rachel had. Only he knew she was nothing like her.

But it still didn’t stop the intense yearning.

But this town wasn’t Hogsmeade and the girl across from him wasn’t his girlfriend.

89 – Past

Reid was silent on the plane to Los Angeles from Washington, staring out the window instead of looking at his parents. If he looked at them he would cry. His brother, his twin, was gone. Reid felt as if his soul had been ripped from his body due to the pain he felt.

But he wouldn’t show it. For Alexander he’d be strong now, as his brother had been.
His mother had called the move a new beginning. A beginning forced on them by the untimely death of his brother, and on Reid by parents who ran from the past.

88 – Sweet Tooth

‘Do they taste ok?’ Reid asked, trying to sound nonchalant, as he looked down at Sienna.

Reid had never had a sweet tooth and so this was his first time baking cookies. Also due to his lack of sweet tooth he’d never before tasted cookies, and so though he thought they tasted ok he had no way of actually knowing if they were good or not. Except by feeding them to Sienna.

The look she gave him and the speed his cookies disappeared with left Reid in no doubt.
Despite his lack of sweet tooth his cookies were completely AWESOME!

59 – Ignore

Reid was good at pretending, it sort of came with the job description. He was good at pretending that he was happy, that he was someone else, that he loved his life. He was also good at pretending that nothing was wrong with him health wise.

So good was he at pretending the last that he easily ignored his doctor’s warnings about the Pulmonary Embolism and how it could kill him.

Reid continued to ignore his illness, telling no-one about it until he collapsed to the floor during an argument.

He’d been breaking Rachel’s heart, while his own stopped beating.

92 – Chocolate

Note to self: giving a hyperactive two year old chocolate ice-cream while wearing white is a horrible idea.

Reid had known that from the start but as soon as Valentine had pouted and tugged on his hand to lead him towards the cart he hadn’t been able to say no. It was summer and the first time in months that Reid had been able to take time off to spend with his son. Therefore, as long as his little boy was happy and smiling his shirt didn’t matter.

All that mattered were the giggles coming from his precocious little boy.

48 – Leprechaun

Trying to get an excitable boy into a costume wasn’t easy. Why wasn’t Sienna doing this again? Oh right, because she still had to get dressed. So instead Reid was struggling to get Valentine to stay still long enough to get his Halloween costume on.

Reid was seriously working to not yell at the toddler by now. But if he didn’t sit down so he could put his shoes on him soon Reid would be yelling.

Finally getting the shoes on, Reid stared at the little Leprechaun in front of him. All that was needed was a pot of gold.

36. Muggle

Reid threw his chemistry textbook away from him in frustration. He was normally quite competent in the subject but after missing a week of school due to the flu he had no clue what he was meant to be doing.

Also annoying was that he had to catch up on all his other subjects at the same time and attempt to memorize his lines for the school production of the Crucible.

Reid wished that there were things like witches and wizards, at least then there’d probably be a way for him to cram all the stupid information into his head.

64. Nap

You stand outside the room, watching two little boys, they look like twins but you can’t be sure, argue with a nanny. You deduce that it is a nanny because from your observations she looks nothing like the toddlers.

Their protests become louder allowing you to deduce that they are protesting about the fact that they are being forced to take a nap. You’ve learnt from a friend that when children get to a certain age nap time becomes dreaded. Although you also think that the children are fighting a losing battle.

As you move on the blonde falls asleep.

79 - Home

Reid had been to so many different places the past year, yet none of them compared to this sight.

As Reid gazed at his son, his youngest child and his wife, all oblivious to his presence in the house he felt as if he could finally breathe. His chest was lighter than it had felt in months and Reid knew why.

After approximately a year’s absence he was finally coming home. He’d been dreaming for the past few months about Sienna’s voice as he’d left them. He hoped that they would be able to start again, because she was home.

28. Timeturner

Looking at Sienna as she lay in the hospital bed Reid couldn’t help but to think of all the things that he regretted doing to her.

He loved her, there was no doubt about that, yet he’d chosen to hurt her so much because he couldn’t stand to let anybody inside. So he’d behaved like a proper coward and run away from her love, pushed her away from him when he should have gathered her close.

Reid wished that he had a timeturner so he could go back and knock some sense into himself. So they could have better memories.

15. Room

As soon as Reid entered the room he broke into sobs. He would have accused his parents of lying to him if he hadn’t felt the pain. Pain that was intensified by being in their old bedroom.

The room was painted blue and stuffed toys covered the shelves, some lying on his brother’s bed. This room was filled with memories, and was clearly meant to accommodate two rambunctious little boys.

Something it would never do again.

Reid sobbed in the room that had been his and his brothers, because his brother was dead, and Reid’s world had been irrevocably shattered.

33. Classroom

The first time Reid told Sienna he loved her they were in a classroom full of crew and other actors. It was something his character was meant to be saying to hers. He wonders if she ever realized that he meant those words for her that day.

Probably not, after all that was a year before they even became a couple.

The first time they split was also in a classroom. He often wonders if she ever realized that he broke up with her that day because he knew that she’d been crying for the past month because of him.

40. Spell

Reid watched Valentine fondly as he noted the look on his little boys face. It was one of complete concentration, something only seen when the boy thought he was doing something extremely important. It was his most adorable look actually and so Reid got out his camera and took a few surreptitious photo’s to print out later.

A few hours later when Valentine crept into his studio and nervously handed Reid a handmade birthday card Reid couldn’t feel more proud. Only he had no idea what it said.

It would have been perfect if his son knew how to spell.

62. Amortentia

Their teacher had brewed Amortentia in front of the entire grade, all of which were paying apt attention, if you didn’t you’d land yourself in detention. And of course out of the whole grade she just had to pick Reid to smell it.

He was going to make some quip since he didn’t want to be pegged as sentimental. Or at least he was before looking over at his girlfriend.

Sighing Reid decided to answer honestly. ‘It smells like Sienna,’ was his simple answer. He was rewarded by the breathtaking smile she gave him as he returned to his seat.
