IN RUINS- James Potter

chapter thirteen

Damn Sirius.

"You are loved. By me, the brother who cares about you." Regulus said, having anger in his tone. "I know, and that party was stupid anyways, everyone was drinking." Nora said, confusing him. She wiped her tear and rolled her eyes. "Yes I went to a party and didn't drink." She scoffed.

"Now my day has gone back to normal, to know my sister went to her own birthday party and did not even have a good time." Regulus smiled dangerously. "Oh shove off, I didn't think I could."

Rolling his eyes and grabbing his sister in for a hug, she yelled a little and didn't know her brother could be affectionate, hugging him back. "Promise you won't lie to me." He muffled into her shoulder, on his tippie toes. "Now that I can't promise." Nora said, hearing his laugh a little.

"Now go to class, I'm sure Evan will come soon." Letting go of him and bidding him a good day, Regulus waved goodbye and went inside his class.

Sighing and going to her own class; Nora sat down, alone once again, watching everyone else slowly trickle in with their friends. It was times like this she wish she has someone.

Her eyes roamed around the room when McGonagall was talking in the front. Usually at this part of the lesson, Nora would watch the way Potter was looking at the red head not too far in front of him, however that wasn't the case, he was actually putting his head down every two seconds after looking at the board.

Nora couldn't believe her eyes at this, sitting up straight and realized she hadn't been taking any notes when watching this boy, completely fascinated.

"Miss.Black, is there a reason why your books aren't open? This will be on you O.W.L.s." Turning and seeing the professor raise and eyebrow, Nora opened her books and mumbled an apologize.

Is he completely over Evans?

I created a monster.

Almost being caught from Lupin who turned to see her; Nora quickly turned her neck away and pretended to be intrigued by the board.

Knowing she'll like to keep a log, Nora smiles to know Potter is over Lily Evans, smiling and catching up on the notes with a short break.  Looking up and down every few seconds, Nora flinched to see a piece of parchment land on her desk, already knowing who it was

I told you I'm over Lily. Potter wrote.

Nora scoffed as she wrote now where's the list? back on the same parchment, aggressively throwing it to Potter, also flinched before knowing.

You'll get it soon, and you better be coming to the party. Or you won't get the list.

Scoffing and looking at him, Nora politely gave him the middle finger before McGonagall came. Nora pretended it didn't make her happy when he gasped, throwing the note back to him and continued to do her homework.

"So that's it? Officially done with Lily?" Remus asked, getting James to look up from the note and quickly stuffing it into his pocket. "Hm? Yeah I mean sure, she's still Lily Evans the girl I love, but it's time for me to move on,." Smiling and having his ears red, Remus backed off and turned to look at Nora who was sitting quietly and almost looking bored.

It's not everyday Remus liked to butt into other peoples business, making this a bold thing to do. At the end of class Remus watched the way James grabbed his stuff and walked over to Nora as if they were best friends, giving her a piece of parchment as she looked at him with anger.

"What? I told you I would give you the things to say." Potter defended, putting his hands into his pocket. "I'm not going to say— you have amazing biceps and are fit? Bloody hell get a grip." Nora annoyingly said, showing him the very first line.
