Not Just A Bet

An James Sirius Potter love story

Scorpius and his sister Cora never got along. Never. If they were competing for their parent's affection, they were competing for another family member's affection or just competing.

And on this very day, they would compete to see who could win a bet. A bet on someone's heart. Scorpius bet Cora she couldn't swindle James Potter into loving her.

"I can do that. Piece of cake."

"You wish. Even mom doesn't love you." That hurt. Cora stood up. She went over to James. She exhaled.

"Hi." She said, very loud and unsure. He turned to her. A red blush filled his cheeks. Even one word made him blush around Cora. He smiled.

"Hi." He replied. She set her books beside him. Despite having both his siblings at Hogwarts and tons of friends, he was alone today. He turned a deep shade of red as she slid close to him. She eyed Scorpius for a second, then turned to James.

"Whatcha Doing?"(Isabella from Phineas and Ferb anyone?) She said in a very high voice.

"Charms homework."

"Oh I finished that ages ago. Need help?" She asked. He nodded. "Well …. This one's Reducto…..Incendio….Repairo…..Wingardium Leviosa…Accio….Depulso…Diffindo…."

-2 hours later-

"There. All done. Just in time too. Professor Flitwick will be happy to see this." She waved as he left.

1) help him with homework. Check.
