0.7 | james' confesson, lillian's regret

Third Person POV:

When the lunch bell rang, Kylie, Emma and Iwaited for James outside of the transfiguration classroom. "Where should we go?" James asked, the boys behind him. "Let's go to our dorm. It's only us three." "Wait- I gotta talk to Sev." I said suddenly as I saw him. "I'll meet you guys there." With that, I jogged to catch up with the boy who had a bunch of girls hanging around him.

"Sev!" He turned and looked realised. "Rosie! How are you?" I shot the girls glares and they scrammed. "I'm good. You?" "I'm fine, but, ever since I came back, a bunch of girls have been hanging around me. It's kinda awkward." I laughed and patted him on the shoulder. "Welcome to the life of a good looking person, Sev." He laughed and I ruffled his hair. "I have to go. After school do you wanna come hang out with me and my roommates in the library?" "Are they nice?" He asked as we stopped at the doors of the Great Hall. "Very. They're really cool. I'll meet you in the library." "Sure. See you later Rosie." "Bye Sev! Have a good day!"

"Hey guys." I greeted as I opened the door to our dorm. "Hey Rosie!" Sirius greeted cheerfully. "Are you okay?" I asked suspiciously. "Yes! I'm so glad James is finally saying this." "Okay? Before you say anything James, do you guys mind if Sev comes and hangs out with us this afternoon?" I asked, turning to Ky and Em. "That's fine. I wanna ask him to help me on that shitty potions presentation." I nodded and flopped down onto my bed. "So what did you want to tell us James?" He immediately became nervous. I took his hand. "It's okay James. We won't judge you." "I-I'm bisexual." There was silence and he looked down. "Oh, that's it?" Emma said, brows furrowed. "Y-You guys aren't disgusted?" "Why would we be?" "Because I like guys as well!" "So? I like guys as well!" She argued. I side hugged James. "We'll support you no matter what." "Thank you."

Despite only meeting these people, my feelings towards them were all positive. Well, maybe not to the Peter bloke, but everyone else is fine. Sirius is fun and dorky, Remus is serious but chill. Kylie is a jokester and a hard worker, and Emma is wild and playful. James is cute and I always have a feeling that I have to protect him, and Peter? He's weird.

Time skip:

After school, I met Sev in the library with Emma, Kylie, James and Sirius. The last two were only with us because Remus had prefect stuff, and Peter had detention , so they decided to tag along.

"Hey Sev." "Hey Rosie." He replied happily as we sat down at a free table. "This is Emma, Kylie, and you already know those idiots." I introduced, motioning to the pair of twits known as James and Sirius. "Nice to meet you." He said politely, nodding at each girl. They each said hello, and I opened my Potions book,and grabbed some parchment and a quill, eager to get my assignment (ten paragraphs explaining Amortentia) done.

Halfway through my already five paragraph work, a hand was placed on the desk. We all looked up, and saw Lillian and her gang. "What?" Emma asked flatly. "I just came to talk to Sev. I'm so sorry that I ignored you, even though you total wronged me by calling me a mudblood, it's fine. Can we still be friends?" I concealed my snort by pretending to cough, but Sev's answer was enough to keep me laughing 'till I was twenty one. "No." That one simple word had me in a fit of laughter, and in that moment I was thankful of Madam Prince's absence, as she had gotten sick. Ky and Em were laughing to, albeit much quieter compared to my full blown laughs. "Excuse me?!" Lillian, like the harpy she is, screeched. "You're excused." He replied cooly, which made me keep on going. "What the hell! You should be the one apologising to me!" Lillian squawked, her little minions backing her up. "I did apologise, several times, but you were to prideful to accept my apology. Now, can you please leave. I understand you only want to be my friend because of my new looks, but I'm not making the same mistake again." She went to say (more like scream) something, but Sev kept on going. "Besides, you don't need to feel sorry for me anymore. Frankly, I enjoy Rosie and her friend's company more than I enjoy a screeching red head and her dumb friend's, so if you'd leave, that would be great."

By know, the waterworks were going. I was laughing so hard I could barely breath. James and Sirius had collapsed on the ground from to much laughter, and Ky and Em were on the eve of their seats. She glared at us, then she smirked when she saw James and Sirius get back up. She adjusted her skirt so it was really high (like damn girl, no thanks), and she sashayed over to the boy with glasses askew in his nose. "So James, I was wondering if you wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" He looked at her dumbly, and she mentally smirked, thinking she'd got him. "Nah." That was enough to send me into more laughter, the others as well. Sev was trying to conceal his own laughter behind his Potions book, but was failing. "Besides, Meadows already said you were going with someone. That would be infidelity. Kind of. And I'm going with Rosie, and as stated earlier, you had several chances before, I moved on, you should to." He helped a laughing Sirius off the floor, and I stood up. "Come on everyone, we should go."

Lillian and her gang stormed off, and I hugged Sev. "See you at dinner?" "Yup." He replied in conformation. "Bye Rosie!" "Bye Sev!"
