I was going to fucking murder these crutches. The clicking was already driving me up the wall and I had been dealing with it for a good… 3 minutes. The pain in my leg was mostly gone, but my Mum and Dad wanted me to stay on crutches for the time being. I thought that meant 1 week, they thought 2 months. But I had already spent 3 weeks in the hospital wing… so even these annoying crutches were worth it.

Headmistress Minerva McGonagall was waiting for me in her office, and I knew this as a fact. Minnie was a close personal friend of my mother and father, but she had had plenty of times during my 5 years at Hogwarts. Fred and I loved to play jokes on people, and so… we had spent a lot of time there. What had she expected? I think she secretly loved us.

But Minnie was just a detour though. The person that I really wanted to see was waiting through the double DADA that we had on Thursdays. It had only just started so I assumed I had the time. Though Minnie did love to talk… The person that I really wanted to see was the only one that visited me everyday I was lying in bed. Who had probably saved my life by delaying my fall. Who was too smart for her own good, and I loved her for it. I wanted to see Enna Maeghan Wood.

I started clicking up the stairs just as they began moving. It was great. I groaned. Minnie was going to be mad. The phoenix was there and I put in the password. (Mad-eye Moody) and clicked up the spiral staircase.

"James," Minnie said, "Please come have a seat."

I sat down, extending the leg that was shattered almost 4 weeks before. I was in the worst quidditch accident in a long time. A bludger broke my hand, causing me to fall from like, 80 feet in the air. If Meggie hadn't cast a slowing spell, I… I probably wouldn't be telling you this story right now.

"I hope you're feeling better, you were in quite the accident."

"I am Minnie. I'm ready to get back to class, you know how much I've been looking forward to my father's lesson."

Every year, my father, being the war hero he is, comes in and teaches us so useful spell and tells us how amazing we are and how we had such a bright future. It was all bullshit, and we all knew that, but since it came from Harry Potter's mouth, my classmates believed it must be true.

"And how excited you are to see that Meggie again."

I glared at Minnie.

"She's very talented, you've chosen well, but she could most certainly do much better than you."

"Thanks Minnie thanks. That's exactly what I needed to hear."

"James you know that you're a talented quidditch player. And that you have a bright future in the sport, but are you sure you want to continue playing after the accident."

My father TOTALLY set her up.

"Did my Dad set you up?"

"Yes James. I never would've asked because I know that you are going to get back on that broom as soon as Madame Brown says so, and you're going to never come down."

I smiled. I think she may have actually, deep down, liked me.

"Am I excused Minnie?"

She was trying to hide her smile.

"Yes James, you can go."

The clicking was not getting any better, and walking downstairs was a lot harder than walking up. I kept falling and cursing and I was glad that Fred and Roxy weren't there because they would've kept laughing. Meggie would've helped me though. I was sure of it.

I could hear my dad's voice as I approached the corridor leading to the DADA classroom. A tall blond was exiting the door across the hall from where I was standing.

"James!" Scorpius Malfoy, an abnormally tall 14 year exclaimed. "The devil's back on his feet. I'd slap your back but you'd fall, and Rosie would kill me."

Even back then, he was all over my cousin.

"Where are you off to Scorp?"

"The loo. It's been a rather boring charm. Off to see Meggie?"

I smiled a sly grin. I could practically hear her I was so close. As I clicked down the hallway, I could hear my father going over patronus spells. Meggie had been able to do on since… a long time. Like 2nd year.

"So… can anyone here create a corporeal patronus?"

I could basically hear Meggie's hand in the air. I was just outside of the classroom now. I could see my dad leaning back on the desk and Meggie walking up to the desk.

"Expecto Patronum!"

I don't really know what got into me then, but something did. I thought of her curly black hair, and black eyes that had a glow, to her O's on everything and her quickness on a broom. And the way she laughed and smiled… and the way she kissed her last boyfriend and how terrible that had made me feel. And I screamed,

"Expecto Patronum!"

It was common knowledge at Hogwarts that Meggie Wood's animal was a wolf. In fact there was a wolf running and jumping around the classroom. And my animal joined her's almost like a pack.

I clicked into the room. Meggie took one glance at me and sprinted down the room. She slammed into me, and kissed me, full on the lips. She smiled as I twirled her around.

"James," She whispered into my neck.

"Meggie, I think I love you," I whispered into her ear.

She laughed and whispered back, "Don't worry James, I love you too, and I think I'll love you for a long, long time."

She kissed me again, and again.

There was a cough from the front of the room.

"James, Meggie, do you mind taking this reunion to Headmistress McGonagall?"

"Not at all Mr. Potter," Meggie responded.

We defiantly didn't go strait to Minnie.

And Meggie did laugh when I fell on the stairs. It wasn't my fault that I shattered my leg.

I laughed with her.
