The much anticipated (yeah, right) chapter 7 of ~A Bottle of Red~
Later, after a full tour of the Hogwarts grounds, with a hilarious commentary provided by James, Elisa started to reflect back on the night.
*Slow down you crazy child *
*You're so ambitious for a juvenile *
*But if you're so smart then tell me, why are you still so afraid? *
Why did she feel as if James was always hiding something from her? That, even after all that had been said back at the Three Broomsticks, he was still holding himself back from telling her the one thing she needed to know? There were moments when he seemed distracted, and when he realized that Elisa noticed he tried extra hard to be funny or romantic, as if to make up for it.
*Slow down you're doing fine *
*You can't do everything you want before you're time *
*Although it's romantic on the borderline tonight *
*Too bad but it's the life you lead *
*You're so ahead of yourself *
*That you forget what you need *
Me, Elisa thought and smiled to herself.
They eventually made their way back to Elisa's dorm, and as she climbed back through the window, James was about to say goodnight, when she turned around and interrupted him by planting her lips on his. When they finally pulled apart, she paused before opening her eyes, as if to savor the moment. When she did open them, James had a weird look on his face. Hmm, one too many garlic sticks, she thought.
But he was looking over her shoulder, and sure enough, when Elisa turned around, she saw three heads scramble quickly back into their bed curtains. Elisa looked back at James, embarrassed, but he just gave her a peck on the cheek and whispered, "That's my cue. Bye Elisa."
