Holly's POV
"So...Truth or Dare?"
If I say truth they'll ask me about my crush,but if I say dare...
"Dare", I said firmly My cousin's face fell but lightened up just as quickly. "I dare you to describe your dream guy!"
I don't know why, but an image of a lazy grin was the first thing I thought of. It seemed like a familiar grin, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Um...my dream guy, huh. A nice smile, someone who can make me laugh when I'm crying, and someone who knows me. As in really knows me."
My cousin laughed. "Darling, that guy doesn't exist. I thought my ex was like that, and if I cant hold onto a guy, you surely can't." I snorted and stared at her. This was the fourth time that night that she had insulted me ("You are way too fat" "Darling that dress went out of style ages ago" "Do you seriously think that you could handle those heels with feet like yours"). I had had enough of it. So it's pretty understandable that, being a witch, I would explode something. And that just happened to be a glass vase.
"Ow!"my cousin shrieked. She ducked and pushed me down on her way. The glass shards didn't hurt anyone in the end,although there was some explaining to do to my aunt. I ignored my cousin, shut my eyes and went to sleep.
Tomorrow I'll see Albus and James. They'll make me laugh.
Since that was my last thought, my dreams were full of messy black hair and twinkling eyes and a certain pair of lanky, but comforting arms.
James' POV
Albus was-for lack of a better word-freaking out!
We were sitting at an ice cream parlour...or I was sitting at an ice-cream parlour and Albus was jumping in his seat at an ice-cream parlour. He had checked his reflection twice, ruffled his hair once, and had looked out on the street at least a million times.
"I don't think she's coming, James. Let's leave." He got up and I pulled him back down.
"Oh no. We are waiting here."
"But she isn't going to come!" I stared at him as though he had three heads.
"Please. You both are so deep that it's almost comical. I can SEE hearts in your eyes when you talk to her."
We were so engrossed in our conversation/argument that we didn't notice the very girl we were...conversing about enter the shop.
She saw us and walked over to us. "Hey guys! I've missed both of you so much."
Well, the real reason I wanted to meet Holly today was because I wanted to make Albus realise that she loved him and that he should just ask her out already.
Point number 1: There were two seats left on the table;one next to me and the other next to Albus. She sat near Albus, even though I was sitting near the door.
Point number 2: Right now she was giving Albus a hug and kiss. And she was also laughing at something he said. And my brother is NEVER funny. At least, not that I know.
"So Holls, which ice-cream do you want?"
"Hmm...Very Witchy Vanilla. With chocolate chips."
I found a couple of galleons in my pocket, so I decided to leave the lovebirds alone and order the ice-cream. Today is gonna be fun!
I returned with the ice-cream to find them deep in conversation.
"...pretty sure that it's not that bad."
"Hey guys. What'cha talking about?"
Holly took her ice-cream. "Oh nothing."
She swallowed a spoonful of ice-cream and then stuck her spoon into Albus' cup. She took a spoonful and licked it. "Much better!"she exclaimed. She then exchanged both the cups. Albus tried to look angry but failed and started to smile.
"Gee thanks."
I burst out laughing. Say it with me, people-Point number 3
"Let's go shopping!"
Albus and I groaned. "Do we have to?"
Holly gave me the vicious Holly stare.
"Yay! Let's go shopping."
And that's how we ended up in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes with our arms full of bags, buying even more stuff.
"Hey, Holly!"someone shouted.
We turned to find Scorpius Malfoy waving at us. Holly smiled at him and waved back, and then Scorpius saw who she was with. He gave me a nod and the barest hint of a smile. When his eyes locked with Albus' an unrecognisable emotion passed through his eyes.
Holly,meanwhile, ran towards him and gave him a hug. "Why haven't you been writing to me?" she demanded.
Scorpius began to answer her, but then a dark haired, pug-faced woman entered the shop. She scowled at Holly and turned to her son.
"Darling what are you doing here. Your dad and I have been waiting for you at Twilfitt and Tattings for ten minutes!" Scorpius opened his mouth to answer, but that woman dragged him out.
Holly came back to us. "Should we go shopping for our school books now? I mean we won't have time later."
So we went to Flourish and Blotts,purchased our school book, and went to the Leaky Cauldron.
Holly looked out on the street. "My car's here. I had an awesome time today! Thanks guys."
She gave me a hug, and gave Albus a much longer hug and he whispered something in her ear. She smiled and walked away.
Do I even need to say it. Point number 4.
Although, later at night when I told Albus all this, he just laughed and said that Holly was just a really good friend. And everyone knows, even my aunt Hermione and uncle Ron were really good friends. And look how they turned out.
SO? How was it? I can't update till the 15th of October, cause my exams start on 1st. But after that I'll definately update faster. Now I finally have the basic structure for the story on my laptop, so...you know.
