-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
James and I were dashing through the corridors. We had just finished our exams, and we were going to celebrate. A party was being thrown in the Gryffindor Common Room, and all Gryffindors were welcome.
"C'mon, Lorraine!" he shouted as we rushed through the halls.
I laughed. He was so childish sometimes.
"All right! I'm running as fast as I can!"
James and I swerved around students, all heading towards their Common Rooms or outside to enjoy their new found freedom. The tests were finally over! After weeks and weeks of studying and worrying, we were finally done!
We finally reached the Common Room, and the party was already in full swing. Music was playing, everyone was dancing, and I'm guessing someone went down to the kitchens to swipe some Butterbeer.
James took my hand and led me to a table with all sorts of food and drinks on it. I guess whoever went down to the kitchens didn't just ask for Butterbeers.
"This is great!" James exclaimed. He started to take some of the food off of the table, and promptly shoved it into his mouth.
Quite the charmer, this one.
Actually, if you want me to be honest, he really was a catch. With his raven black hair, that seemed to always stick up, his tall frame, his strong jaw, and his eyes. Oh, Merlin, his eyes. They were this mixture of brown and green, and when he felt a particularly strong emotion, they would change colors. I swear I could stare at him all day.
"Lorraine?"
I looked up a saw James staring at me. I must have been spaced out.
I do that a lot.
"Sorry. Just day-dreaming." I said.
That was another thing about James; his personality.
He had a very fun loving, very outgoing attitude. But he was also caring, and sweet and funny. Whenever I needed him he was always there, no matter the time, place, or situation. Without him, I don't know what I'd do.
He smirked, and nodded his understanding. He was used to it.
"Let's dance." I said suddenly.
James turned toward me, and smiled.
"Okay."
We walked side by side up to where everyone was dancing.
Some hip-hop song was playing, and I immediately got the rhythm and started to dance. James followed suit, and even though it must have been hours, we never once stopped dancing unless it was to get refreshments.
We danced the night away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was sitting on the Common Room sofa, me on one end, James on the other.
We were both still awake, the only ones awake actually.
"Let's see." I said, trying to come up with another question for James.
We were playing a game called 20 Truth, something we made up when we were kids.
The instructions were simple: We each asked each other twenty questions, and we had to answer them truthfully. No matter what.
"Oh! I got it! What's the most embarrassing song you've ever listened to and actually liked?"
I grinned evilly. This game was just way to fun.
James turned bright red. Then he muttered something under his breath.
"What was that?" I asked, feigning innocence.
He sighed.
"Fine. It's 'Cauldron Full of Love'. Happy?"
He was so red, that I could've mistaken him for a tomato.
A very attractive tomato, of course.
I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing, but quickly threw my hands over my mouth to muffle the sound. I didn't want to wake anyone up.
"Yeah, yeah. Laugh all you want. Now it's my turn." He said mischievously.
Oh no.
"What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever thought about a guy?"
Oh, Merlin. Out of all the questions, why does he have to pick that one?
Oh, well. Better get it over with.
"'He must be the most handsome boy I've ever seen. I wish he liked me back. He's so sweet, too. I wonder if he ever would even consider me.'"
I said this all in a rush, but apparently James understood it. The most embarrassing part is…I was thinking about him.
James' eyes' hardened.
"Who is this guy? Is he a Gryffindor?"
It was my turn to smile.
"One question only. Sorry, maybe next time."
I yawned while I was saying this. I was getting very tired, and I couldn't stop myself from drooping against the cushions of the couch.
"We should get to bed." He said in a much softer tone.
"No!" I said. "Just one more question."
He sighed.
"Fine." he answered. My eyelids started to flutter close.
"What's the one thing you want most in life?"
I couldn't stop myself from asking. I've always wanted to know, and I was too tired to care if he thought it was an odd question. Usually, we asked embarrassing questions, but for once I wanted to know the answer to a serious question. He was such a remarkable person, so kind and generous, so good-natured. What did he want most in life? Maybe, a good job as an auror? Or maybe to be just like his father? Or maybe even to graduate top in his classes? Which was highly unlikely though because the only class he actually cares about is Defense Against the Dark Arts. But still. What is it that he wants?
I was waiting for an answer, but finally I couldn't fight the exhaustion anymore. As I started to slip into unconsciousness, I could've sworn I heard him mumble one word.
"You."

So...what do you think. I thought it was pretty good, considering, but thats just my opinion. Anyway, please review!
