Chapter 11: Summer
Last Time
At the station the met up with the rest of the Potter and Weasley family. "Hello, Aoife isn't it?" Ginny asked politely. "Yes ma'am" Aoife answered. "Don't call me that makes me sound old. Call me Ginny," Ginny winked. "Mum you are old," James said. "James!" Ginny slapped him on the arm. Aoife had to laugh.
"Were going in the car if that's alright?" Harry asked. "Yeah!" Aoife said. Her and James climbed into the back. Harry and Ginny's smiles were getting bigger. They could hear James telling Aoife all the things they were going to do.
They finally pulled up to a small cottage in Godrics Hollow. "It isn't big but it's home" James murmured to her quietly. "I love it" Aoife told him. Harry smiled that sounded like the conversation he and Ron had, had when he first came to the Burrow.
Once they were threw the door James grabbed Aoifes trunk and ran up the stairs. "Come on I'll show you to your room!" James shouted down the stairs. Aoife belted up the stairs after him. Harry and Ginny looked at each other knowingly before apparating to collect Albus and Lily from their grandparents.
"Jamie, is this the girl Rose said you wiked?" asked a four year old Lily Potter at dinner that night. Everyone looked at James including Aoife. He was gaping at his plate while blushing furiously. "No babe, that was a different girl," Ginny told Lily to save James the embarrassment.
It was the middle of the night and James was heading back to his room from the bathroom when he heard it. Crying. It was coming from Aoife's room. He edged forward and slowly opened the door. "Aoife are you ok?" James asked softly. He sat on the edge of her bed. "Yeah it's just I miss them," Aoife told him. He wrapped her in a hug and she stopped crying. She felt safe in his arms.
After a while James got up to leave but Aoife held his hand. "James, could you.. I mean.. maybe just..em..." Aoife stuttered. "You want me to stay?" James whispered. Aoife nodded her head. James walked around the bed and got in. Aoife layed her head on his bare chest. "Night Jamie" she mumbled. "Night." And with that they fell asleep.
"JAMES POTTER WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING SLEEPING IN AOIFE'S BED WITH NO SHIRT ON?" Ginny hollered the next morning. "Mum calm down One-I never sleep with a shirt on and Two- she was upset last night so I stayed with her," James told his mother. By now Harry, Albus and Lily were in the doorway. "Just go up to your room and get dressed then come down for breakfast." With that she left so did their audience. "James thanks for not telling them and staying with me." Aoife said sincerely.
Now that she looked James was only wearing a red sweatpants. James left to get dressed. A few minutes later James and Aoife clamored down the stairs James wearing a shorts and a T-shirt and Aoife wearing black shorts and one of James' T-shirts which was too big for her. "Em... mum Aoife sort of needs to get some of her stuff for her old house" James told Ginny uncertain of how she would react to Aoife wearing his shirt. But in his defense she didn't have any of her clothes except her shorts.
"Yes ok. Aoife dear we were going to go to Rose's house but do you want to get your clothes first or wear that?" Ginny asked her. "I'm fine wearing this," she answered.
After breakfast they used the floo to get to a house close to the Burrow and out of sight from muggles. Suddenly Aoife was knocked over by a flash of red hair. "Good to see you to Rose," Aoife said when Rose had climbed off of her. James held out his hands to help them up. "Thanks James." The girls said at the same time. They looked at each other and burst out laughing. It was fun to be this close to your best friend.
It was dinner time they were all eating at Rose's house. "Rose, mummy said this isn't the girl you said Jamie liked who is it den?" Lily asked pointing to Aoife. Everyone either looked at Rose and Lily who were sitting beside each other or James and Aoife who were also sitting beside each other.
"Well there's this girl in our class her name is..is..em..." Rose stuttered. "Chloe Patil is her name," Aoife saved the awkward conversation. James was once again looking at his plate blushing. "But I want James and Aoife to get married not some Cwoe girl," Lily pouted. James chocked on his drink which he unfortunately had been taking a sip from. Aoife and Rose were visibly trying to hold in their laughter. "So is that everyone done?" Hermione asked coming to the rescue once again. Once the table was cleared Rose and Aoife belted up the stairs into Rose's room and burst out laughing. "Did you (laugh) see his (laugh) face (huge laugh)" asked Rose in between laughs. Aoife couldn't stop laughing enough to talk so she just nodded. "Aoife were leaving now!" Harry shouted up the stairs. Rose and Aoife hugged before trampling down stairs. It was obvious they had been laughing. "Bye Rose!" Aoife said before stepping into the floo last.
