Following James's heartfelt confession to Tabitha and the subsequent interruption by Frank and Sirius, who were both eager to escape the confines of the boring ball, her room quickly transformed into the primary hangout spot for most of the teenagers in attendance.

The once cozy space was now filled with whispers, giggles and chatter as the young wizards and witches congregated, finding comfort away from the formalities of the ball.

Tabitha found herself sitting on her bed next to Alice, surrounded by their friends. The weight of James's confession still lingered in the air, making her slightly flustered whenever their eyes met.

James felt a sense of frustration as he couldn't find a moment alone with Tabitha during the holiday gathering. She seemed to be constantly occupied with Alice's company, leaving him without the chance to address the confession he had made.

He observed them from across the room, his mind racing with thoughts and doubts. Would things be awkward once they returned to Hogwarts? Would she avoid him after hearing his confession?

He tried making small talk with Frank and the other guys, but his attention kept drifting towards Tabitha. His eyes found her easily in the crowd, her laughter and chatter with Alice drawing him involuntarily towards her.
