Chapter 7
Christmas came and went and nothing else has happened between James and I. We haven't talked since the ball and I never found out who gave me the necklace but I have been wearing it ever since. Oliver and I are fighting at the moment because he doesn't want me to wear it, but that's just because he's jealous and thinks James gave it to me. But that's bollocks and I love it so much I'm never taking it off. Right this very moment I am just sitting in the common room doing nothing it's Sunday the 29th of May, we are going home tomorrow. Tap… taptap Elenor my owl was at the window.
Lily Dearest,
We are all so excited to see you tomorrow. Petunia is getting married to Vernon in 2 months and the house is absolutely in an uproar. I'm so sorry to tell you that this summer you won't be able to have any friends over or for that matter Oliver until after the wedding. I know that you were planning to have a get together and I know how upset you must feel because of this, but I don't wish to disturb Petunia, you know how she can be. See you tomorrow!
Love, Mum
Oh, great how am I suppose to tell Oliver that? I thought to myself. It was getting late and the end of the year feast was about to start. So I headed down the stairs to the great hall.
"Lily?" As I turned around I looked in his eyes, they were reflecting my feeling of exhaustion.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I'm sorry about being a git. Would you please sit with me at the feast?" Oliver asked,
"Well, I forgive you and I will sit with you because it is your last day at Hogwarts, but I will cheer for Gryffindor when we are awarded the house cup."
"Fine with me," he started taking my hand and leading me to the Ravenclaw table.
"So what are you planning to do this summer," I asked?
"Oh, the usual. Hang out at home, get an internship at the Ministry of Magic, and visit you of course."
"Um, well there might be some trouble with that last thing."
"Why?"
"Because my sister is having a wedding and my mum said that I can't do anything or go anywhere until it's over." I may or may not have exaggerated but honestly I was not really in the mood to spend too much time with him right now.
"Oh." Things had kind of been on edge with us for a while. Mainly because he admitted that he 'loved' me and I just can't bring myself to say it back. I just don't want to lie. I like him a lot, but 'love' is not only a strong word, but also a strong feeling with a promise. And well there was the fighting about James…
