James's POV

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter (or any of the Potters, Weasleys, Malfoys etc)

Fred and I grinned at each other as we saw Rose and Scorpius break apart.

"I love you, you know." Scorpius said.

"I love you too." Rose smiled. "And I can't believe I've lost sleep getting angry at myself for being the girl you like."

"Don't worry. I've been getting jealous of myself." He grinned.

"You should be. You're far too good at snogging for your own good." Rose grinned and they started snogging again.

Fred and I exchanged a smirk and got up on top of the Gryffindor table.

"Oh bravo!" Fred said, starting a slow clap. Rose and Scorpius broke apart.

"Yes. Jolly good show. I don't think any of us were expecting that." I said, joining in. Some people laughed.

"Definitely not." Fred agreed. "I mean who would have thought that these two idiots would EVER date?" There was more laughing at this.

"But to more important matters. For those 'few' people who thought maybe, just maybe, these two might actually have 'small' feelings for each other, we have interesting news."

"So the time is-"Fred checked his watch "-6:49pm on the 25th of June 2022."

"As you well know it's after the exams so all of those who bet on after the exams, this month, year or even those lucky people who bet on today we would like it if you could come and collect your winnings or to those poor souls who got it wrong, it's time to pay up or suffer our wrath." I told the hall.

"Please form an orderly line, we'll get to you all, don't worry." Fred said as people started getting up from all house tables. Over 200 people I think, all in all. Plus there were about 50 out of Hogwarts that we need to send owls to.

"And Malfoy!" I called over the din of everyone getting up.

"Yes?" Scorpius asked.

"YOU ARE SO DEAD FOR SNOGGING OUR COUSIN!" Fred and called.

"Should I run?" Scorpius asked Rose.

"I would." She nodded.

"Bye." He said, kissed her quickly and ran off in the other direction.

"THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO WILLIAMS!" I called. And Sam Williams (Alice told us all about their 'studying' by the lake) got up from the Hufflepuff and walked quickly out of the hall, his facing a burning red.

"WEASLEY! POTTER!" Professor McGonagall called from the top table.

"Yes Minnie?" we turned around and smiled at her.

"Detention!"

"So worth it." Fred said as he collected money from a Ravenclaw 3rd year.

"I reckon." I nodded. "But I prefer it when people got it wrong." I added as I handed over a small fortune to Bella Finnigan and then my own sister.

"If you do anything to Sam, make no mistake, I will Bat Bogey Hex you." Lily warned us as she walked away.

"Maybe we shouldn't do anything to Williams." I muttered to Fred.

"Lily is pretty scary." He agreed. "But don't worry, I found the counter hex to the Bat Bogey Hex."

"Awesome!" I said as we'd been searching for that one for years. "Where did you find it?" We must have looked through hundreds of books.

"Jenny found it in an advanced Charms book she has." He said.

"I love your girlfriend." I said.

"You better not even think about doing anything with her Jamie." Fred threatened.

"I didn't mean it like that!" I backtracked. Fred started laughing.

"I knew that. Besides, I see the way you look at our dear friend Alice. You like her so bad." Fred grinned.

"Yeah well at least we're going out now." I said, still taking and giving out money. "Not awkward anymore."

"Speak for yourself mate. It's not easy when your two best friends are going out." Fred teased.

"Whatever." I tried to sound annoyed but it didn't work, I smiled instead.

"Well I have to say that we should have made more betting pools." Fred said about half an hour later as we walked up to Gryffindor Tower.

"I reckon! We made a fortune off that one. I can't believe how many people got it wrong." I agreed.

"That's because people put their Galleons before they did their research." Fred said knowledgably.

"Yeah, we owe Rose and Scorpius so much." I nodded.

"We we'll get them a nice wedding gift." Fred smirked.

"We might be better to invest in some calming potions." I thought logically.

"Why?"

"Because Uncle Ron is going to have a fit."

"Too right he is. Can't wait for that one." Fred smirked.

Author's note: This was really just a filler chapter; well it was just so Fred and James could finish up the betting pool. And I just loved writing it. I was going to add something more in this chapter but it didn't really fit so I'm adding an extra chapter in, So that will mean I'll have a total of 56 for those who want to know. I'm hoping to have all of this finished by Sunday, but maybe not. Thanks so much for all your lovely support! You are honestly all the best!
