Chapter 26- Tiffany, where are you?
James and Dumbledore started on the first floor and worked their way down in search of Tiffany. James had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, that if they found her she would be all over him. He didn't like the sound of that. The thought of Tiffany liking him was enough to make him sick. There was no sight of Tiffany on the map on all of the floors. They decided to check outside too. On the map there was a dot that was in the forbidden forest. It was Tiffany.
James and Dumbledore started to walk towards where her dot was, not knowing what they would find. She was very deep in the forest and both James wished he had Hagrid or Fang with them. They got closer and closer. The bushes got thicker and it was getting darker. James looked back on the map and it said they had gone to far east so they headed the other way. They found Tiffany sitting by a tree. She was in the distance where she couldn't see them but they could see her. They heard rustling in the trees behind her and a tall, ugly man stepped out in front of her.
Lord Voldemort was standing in front of her. She didn't seem scared at all. James and Dumbledore couldn't hear what they were saying. They stood there waiting for him to leave. After half an hour he left and Tiffany sat back down by the tree. James and Dumbledore ran over to her and made her go back to the castle.
"I don't want to go back up there!" she argued.
"You have to. Your missing your lessons and if you would like to pass second year, you really should go to them." Said Dumbledore.
"I like it here better."
"It's not safe here. And by the way, what was Voldemort doing here?"
"You can't know." She said.
"And why not?" asked Dumbledore.
"...Cause. You just can't."
"You have to have a good reason." Said James.
"No...I don't." she shot back.
"Yes you do."
"Why?"
"Cause! You just do...I said so."
"Why would I listen to you now. You told everyone that I was on the dark side...I mean...my family is on the dark side."
"You are, and some how you managed to become a Gryffindor."
"I'm good, I swear, I'm good!"
"Yes. I'll believe you when money flies and pigs grow on trees."
"Actually James, the saying is 'When pigs fly and money grows on trees." Said Dumbledore.
"I knew that."
The three of them made it back to the castle in one piece. Dumbledore took Tiffany up to his office while James went back to the common room. It was nearly midnight and the common room was almost empty. Tara, Chester and Amber were still up though.
'Always having to wait for me.' Thought James, smiling like an idiot cause no one else knew what he was thinking.
"What are you smiling about?" asked Tara.
"What? I wasn't smiling..." he answered stupidly.
"Yes you were." Said Chester. "What did Tiffany do to you that you're smiling about?"
"Ok. 1-I wouldn't let Tiffany every touch me...EVER! And 2-I wouldn't want Tiffany coming between Tara and me." Said James.
"I'm sure you would..." muttered James.
"What was that?" asked James.
"Nothing!"
"And I wouldn't let anyone come between you and me either." Said Tara letting James sit beside her.
They were all on a big couch with lots of pillows. (A/N: You know those couches that look like a bed sort of? Cause that's what I'm talking about)
Tara was resting on her side, head on her hand holding her up. James say resting on her legs. Chester was lying down; his head on a pillow and legs over the edge of the couch while Amber's head was resting on his stomach. It was a Kodak moment if there ever was one. The four of them didn't bother to go to their dorms last night. The last thing any of them remember was James singing.
'I see it around me
I see it in everything
I could be so much
More than this
I said my goodbye's
This is my sundown
I'm gonna be so much
More than this
With one hand high
You'll show them your progress
You'll take your time
But no one cares
No one cares
I need you to show me
The way from crazy
I wanna be so much
More than this
With one hand high
You'll show them your prog-'
"James. If you don't shut up your dead if I'm cranky in the morning." Said Chester. Tara and Amber snickered into the pillows.
"Yes'm." replies a half-asleep James.
They woke late the next morning, as it was a Sunday, many people were in bed until the early afternoon.
The four of them all managed to stay on the couch...except James who fell off a few times during the night. There was a thud "ow" from James and a "shut up" from Amber and Chester right after.
Tara was the first to wake up of the four.
"James, get off my legs." She said. He didn't move so she kicked him off.
"There was another big thud and an "ow" coming from James.
"Shuttup." Said Chester and Amber for the 4th time.
