Summary: Everyone has crushes.
'Lily, you will turn your brother back, right now!'
'No, he deserved it!' Lily ran upstairs as she screamed, 'You're an Auror, you do it!' She ran to her room and after she put the strongest locking charms she knew of on her door, she pushed her bed against it as well. Just as she got it in place the knocking started.
'Lily?'
It was Jamie. She wanted to scream at him to go away, but he didn't sound angry so instead she asked:
'He changed you back?'
'Yeah, I'm sorry, Lily.' James sighed and dropped his head against the door. 'I wouldn't have actually told him.'
'You said enough.'
'He didn't get it.'
'He could have, though. What if I told him about one of your crushes?' Lily thought about it and snorted. James talked about girls all the time, and never cared who heard him. If Al was there, he'd be on her side. But he—as always—was visiting Scorpius. 'Nevermind, you wouldn't care. Al, would understand.'
'Hey, just because I'm not gay doesn't mean I don't understand. I've been embarrassed about a crush before. I'm just not as transparent as you and Al are. I don't fail a class they are teaching because I'm too busy writing poetry about them, nor do I bring them to the house and blush every time they look at me.'
'Oh, really? Who are you embarrassed about?'
'Though, I have to admit you have much better taste than Al. Professor Greengrass has huge—'
'Don't talk about Daphne like that!'
'Daphne? Oh, sis, you've got it bad.'
'Quit changing the subject.'
'You aren't going to have a chance with her if you keep daydreaming while she's teaching. Teachers hate that.'
'Stop teasing me...I don't have a chance with her at all. Who—'
'Tell you later; dad's coming.'
'Jamie, get back here!' Lily pulled the bed away and started unlocking the door. She'd turn his hair green or...no, he would be long gone. She'd search his room and find out who he was embarrassed about on her own.
