Orchids, Quidditch And A Basilisk (A Harry Potter New Generation Fanfiction)

FIVE

Padme woke up the next morning feeling absolutely great. She had kissed James Potter. Not only was he handsomely hot and very talented at Quidditch, he also was smart and funny, but that wasn't the main reason why she liked him so much. What she truly liked about James was that he had that glint of mischief and adventure in his eyes and a smile that always reassured her. She could've told him that the night before, however she just didn't know how. What she did know for sure is that Jen would never forgive her if she didn't tell her about James and her.

She trotted down to the common room and found Jen and Al eating bagels and discussing about muggle candy.

"Hey!" Padme said joyfully

"Someone's happy this morning!" said Jennifer

"Wonder why..." added Al with a suspicious smile

Padme stuck her tongue out at him.

"Is there something I am not aware of here?" asked Jennifer, slightly confused

"Do you mind leaving us for maybe five minutes, Al?" asked Padme

"Sure, no problem!" he said winking

"What's up?" Jen asked

"You're my best friend, and I feel it wouldn't be right keeping anything from you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone about this. Don't even discuss it with Al. Ok?"

"Ok...So, what's up?"

"I made out with James Potter last night," Padme blatted out

"That's it?"

"What do you mean that's it? Aren't you the least bit surprised?"

"To be honest, not really. Once you decide to tell everyone, I'll even owe Scorpius 5 knuckles. I thought it would take you guys longer."

"How?"

"Well, knowing you I thought it would take more time, I guess, I don't really know actually."

"No! How did you know about me and James?"

"Oh! Well that's way easier! First of all, you just can't stop yourself from smiling in some kind of way when he's there. You have that look in your eyes when he makes you laugh, it's quite obvious. Him, he almost glows when you're there. But if you didn't notice all of that, you two just complement each other. You have matching auras!" explained Jennifer with excitement in her voice. It was obvious she had studied the situation.

"He glows?" asked Padme, confused

"I didn't know how to say it, it's the best I could find!" Jen tried explaining

"So everyone knows already?"

"More or less...mostly more."

"I have something to do." Decided Padme

"What is it?"

"Follow me, you'll see," Padme answered with a giggle.

They almost ran to the dining hall and stopped at the entrance. Padme scanned the room with her eyes.

"What are you looking for? I'd at least appreciate having something close to a hint here!" said Jennifer

"Found him!"

"By Merlin's beard, you're looking for James!"

"Watch this, I'm feeling very dauntless this morning."

"Don't worry, I'll have my eyes wide open."

Padme made her way to where James was seated with a couple of his Gryffindor friends and sat next to him.
