Chapter 4: Detention
"Oh...my...Merlin" Lily whispered at the sight we were seeing.
Addie and Remus were snogging at the entrance to the Great Hall.
-♥-
"Remus is snogging Addie!" Lora said loudly. Loudly enough for most of the Great Hall to turn and look at the two Gryffindors pull apart in embarrassment. They walked over to were we sat and started piling food on their plates.
"Did she work up an appetite for you Remus?" Lora asked, trying hard not to laugh. I smiled as Remus and Addie started to blush.
"Shut up Lora" Addie said throwing a peice of bread at Lora.
"Are you two dating?" Lily asked them. The blushed slightly darker as Remus nodded.
I glanced at Lora, picturing us out on a date. It wasn't hard to picture seeing as it wasn't the first time I had tried to picture it but it still seemed so far out of reach. Would I ever get to date Lora? We have been best friends for so long but was she as ready for something more as I was? I hope so.
An owl swooping down and landing in my sandwhich interrupted my thoughts. I opened the letter attatched to it's leg and saw that I had detention tonight at eight.
"Ugh, I have to clean the Trophy's in the Trophy Room" I complained to the rest of the group. James laughed, knowing that cleaning trophies was my least favorite thing to do.
We all headed to the common room to relax after a long day of classes. I spread out on the couch and watched as Lora and James battled each other in a game of wizard chess. Lily was reading a book and Addie and Remus were whispering things to each other in the corner of the room. My gaze stayed on them for a moment longer, thinking how I wish I had what they had.
I looked over at Lora and saw her just in time to check mate James. She got up and ran around the common room doing her victory lap.
Eight'o'clock finally rolled around and I made way down to the Trophy Room. Filch was waiting for me at the door with a smirk on his ugly face, his cat relaxing at his feet.
"Here you go Mr.Black," he said, handing me a rag and soapy water. "You cannot leave until every last trophy is clean." He exited the room laughing as I stared in disgust at the dirty rag.
Three hours later, I had finished cleaning the trophies. My hand was red from scrubbing so hard and my knees and feet ached from standing and kneeling so much. I had a headache from concentrating so hard on cleaning and I was about to fall asleep right there, I was so tired.
I made my way to the Gryffindor common room and crawled up the stairs. The minute my head hit the pillow I fell asleep. I dreamt of Lora once again.
