So, here is the thirteenth chapter. I swear, there are going to be so many chapters, but they're all going to be pretty short. As in short short. Like about 500 words short. Occasionally, I go over that, but for the minute, here's the next chapter. Cheerio!
"What is wrong with Minnie?" James asked as we walked along.
"I don't know," I said. "But why did she have to choose this year? I don't remember the seventh years doing it last year!"
"They did," Lexi reminded me. "You're just an idiot."
I glared at her, and then tossed my hair. It was in a braid, so it whapped James in the face.
"Ouch!"
"Stop being such a baby," I snapped at him, and then Toby came up, flashing that lovely and enchanting smile of his. Some paintings fainted. "Oh, hello Toby." My voice was lacking enthusiasm, as everyone might have clearly saw.
Lexi gave Toby a faint smile. "Oh. Hello."
James nodded once in his direction and flanked me protectively. I rolled my eyes.
Toby smiled at me, and ruffled the top of my head. Have I noted how much I hate it when people do that? It's so annoying! I mean, I'm only about five inches shorter than him, and all he wants to do it ruffle my hair. I'm a girl! I like my hair, no matter how infuriating it may be at some times.
"What do you want, Toby?" I asked.
"What, can't I see my favorite girl?" he asked teasingly, with a fat smile on his face, the arsehole. But he was still amazing looking. I felt the girly side of me start to swoon again, and apparently I must've looked like it, because Lexi elbowed me in the side. Then I remembered that awful date of ours, and reeled myself back.
James snorted. At that moment, Albus came running up. "JAMES! JAAAAMMMMEESSS!"
"What?" James asked, looking slightly irritated. Albus' wide green eyes were absolutely terrified.
"Lil-lil-lil-" he stammered out.
I put a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down, Al. It's alright. Just say it."
"LILY GOT CURSED!" Albus spat out. "By that Goyle person, or something like that."
James turned so white that he looked like a sheet, and then turned dark red. "I'm going to kill him," he snarled. "YOU HEAR ME? I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!"
"JAMES!" I shrieked, and then held him down. "Stop it! Lily needs you now!" People in the hallway were staring at us, but I didn't care.
Lexi moved to my side. "James, stop," she said comfortingly.
James bit his lip and started to walk off. Lexi and I went after him. "See you later, Toby!" I called to Toby, who was just standing there, looking dumbfounded.
I knew why. It wasn't every day that you saw James Sirius Potter loose his temper.
