She lay on her bed, covers underneath her body. The window over her head
let in a cool breeze. She was horribly tired, but couldn't sleep because
her mind was full of thoughts that she could not answer. Her heart was
troubled, but was slightly soothed by the faint sound of singing by
woodland fairies that sang that night. It was a rare, because they
normally lived far from the school, and deep in the forest. Their sweet
voices flew in with the cool breeze, but did not soothe her as much as they
soothed Shannon and Jamie, for they didn't had a fight with someone they
cared about earlier. They had no fight with James, but Gabrielle did, and
regretted it. All the other fights were not like this one. They didn't
actually get angery at eachother in the others, they only had different
opinions. Gabrielle lay on her side, in her flannel pajamas. The front
was unbuttoned, and underneath was a white t-shirt.
She did blame herself, and she was beating herself up over it. She decided she wouldn't think about it, in a couple of hours it would be morning, and hopefully then she could straiten the whole thing out. She got out of bed, and did what she normally did when she couldn't sleep. She would wander around the Gryffindor Common room clutching onto her pillow. She almost fell out of bed from her extreme fatigue, but was glad to fall on something soft.
She walked past Jamie and Shannon, who were both sound asleep, soothed by lullabies sung by the Fairies outside. She looked at them, wishing she were in the same position. She walked on, and into the hallway and down the stairs into the common room. There was a single light lit in that room. it was a candle on a silver candleholder that was placed on a table near a sofa. She walked towards it, curious. Suddenly, she tripped forward, and fell behind the sofa with a big thud that made the candle flicker. The pillow was thrown into the air, and landed near the wall. She lay, with her stomach on the floor. She had tripped on the edge of a rug. She turned over on her back to see James's brown eyes. She groaned and closed her eyes; this was not a good time for him to see her like this. She opened them when she felt him brush up against her. He helped her sit up.
"You alrigh'?" he asked quietly, and without any eye contact.
"I'm sorry," she blurted out, it was very off topic, but She couldn't have them angry at each other any longer. He smiled at her. He helped her up without saying a word. He sat down on the couch; and looked into the flame of the candle. Gabrielle sat at the opposite end of the couch, and looked at James. He hadn't answered her yet, and she wanted to know what he would make of her apology.
"It wasn't your fault they came after us." He said, referring to Shannon and Jamie. It looked like that was hard to say, so she didn't say a word in return , but she was thinking 'I told you so!'
"I just hope your right about trusting them with this." He stared into the candle's flame.
He looked at Gabrielle after a while. She was wearing the same pajamas that he was, except she had green stripes on hers, instead of the deep blue he had. They were the same size thought. He noticed Gabrielle tended to like things that were way too long for her: the sleeves and the pant legs bunched up at the end. She was surprised that James had admitted she was right; normally he was too bigheaded to notice he was wrong. She tried looking understanding and refrained from saying anything. "i apologized and you wont even say something?" he said, Gabrielle laughed. "Well I tried hard not to tell you 'I told you so,' so you should be happy I dint speak up." "Maybe you're right, don't start now." Gabrielle was about to speak her mind (which would be EXCUSDE ME????? NOT TALK? ARE YOU CRAZY??) But was incapable when he kissed her, and when he leaned back she said "clever." After a while of talking Gabrielle started yawning, and when she did yawn, it would be right when she was in the middle of saying something. It made James laugh, and made Gabrielle's ears turn red from embarrassment. Soon James made the point that she should go back to her room. She got up to go back to her room without questioning. She stretched and yawned again and moved her heavy feet back to her dormitory. She looked back and smiled at James who was watching her leave. She yawned big again and James laughed. She walked up the stairs. She saw Jamie and Shannon still sleeping, just as they were a while ago. She could still hear the sound of the singing fairies. She lay in her bed and noticed she left the pillow she pulled her wand out from the other pillow she had and whispered "accio pillow!"
