Is There Always a Reason?
Chapter Four: Confessions
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As Halloween was nearing, so was winter. It became colder and colder but that didn't stop the activities going on in the castle. Hermione and her newly found friends were becoming closer and closer. She even became close with Tom but nothing could make her forget the he was the future Voldermort and will kill her best friends parents. Though at times she forgot about it and enjoyed his company. Avoiding the snow storm the three girls, Thorn, Mel, and Hermione, were all sitting in the common room.
"Okay, so where is Jewels?"
"I thought you said she was coming Mel's?"
"Well she was, but she isn't here."
"Well where is she?"
"Kat, I'll give you one guess."
"Library?"
"Okay she is not a book-worm; she's probably with some guy having the time of her life."
"Thorn, thanks for the piece of, I didn't need to know that, information."
"Anytime. So who do you think she's off snogging right now."
"No one." Announced Jewels as she came down from the dorms. "if you must know I was sleeping."
"Okay then."
"Well since we are on the topic of boys . . . "At that we all groaned "Lets play confess or kiss."
"Jewels." I pleaded. "Lets not, and plus there are no guys here to kiss anyway."
"Well, we will just have to improvise."
"How?" questioned an already confused Melody.
"Well, same rules but instead of kiss a guy you have to do my homework for a day. Deal?"
"Why not." So we settled down to play Confess or Homework as it was now called. Everyone had been asked and it was now Hermione's turn.
"Kat, who do you want more Tom or James? And give a full description of why you like them."
"Okay, truth be told I think both are hot but I don't really like either of them" the girls knew it was a lie but let it slide and continued with the game.
"Go one what do you think of them?"
"Well, James is the total opposite of Tom. He is more heart felt, and open, where as Tom he is more seclude and distant. I feel close to both boys, but closer to James than with Tom." 'I can't believe I just said that, Tom is like going to try and kill me in the future, considering I am a muggle. Thank god he doesn't know that I am one know because if he is anything like he is going to be know he will kill me. Though he does seems kinder than his future self.'
"Go on."
"How do you know I'm not done?"
"Cause I said you weren't."
"Fine well, Tom is like a friend who will be there when he chose to be, not if I needed to talk with him. 'Like I would need him, for Christ's sakes he's Voldermort!' But, James, he is like someone who I can open my heart too and share emotions with."
"So I'm guessing you just confessed you like this James kid?"
"No . . . well kind of, its just if I had to chose between the two yes I like James., because I couldn't have a relationship with Tom because he is just so distant." 'And besides the fact that he is Voldermort, the evil guy.'
"If Tom wasn't distant, and didn't seem like all he cared about was himself would you chose him?"
'I can't believe I am going to say this' "Well, yes I mean he is kind and sweet and caring but he needs to open up."
"I knew we would get it out of you eventually."
"How?"
"Well you see Jewels, Meld and I have been working on a way to get you to confess which boy you like and we knew you would never tell us outright so, we decided to force it unknowingly out of you."
"Clever, Thorn clever."
"I know I am such a genius."
"You mean full of yourself." At that remark melody got a pillow thrown at her and the girls started giggling and joking around. Little did they know that there had been someone watching.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I was coming back from the library, when I realized it was snowing. 'Well then no one should be in the common room; I mean they'll all be outside.' So I made my way to the common room, but I stopped when I heard giggling. I walked forward and there sitting on the two of the many couches were Thorn, Melody, Jewels, and Katrina. They were laughing about something and I was about to walk in when what Jewels said next made me retreat back into the shadows.
"Kat, who do you want more Tom or James? And give a full description of why you like them."
"Okay, truth be told I think both are hot but I don't really like either of them"
'What! She doesn't like me!'
~You say that like you care~
'I do care. I think I do.'
~Sure, you do why would you care about some girl, I mean love is weak. ~
'Shut-up. Wait why am I even talking to you, you're a voice in my head now go away.'
Tom, don't throw away all your dreams, and all of your plans just for love, or some pathetic girl~
'Shut-up!' at that the voice in Toms head stopped and he continued to listen to there conversation.
"Go one what do you think of them?"
'Well of course she going to say that I am hot I mean look at me'
"Well, James is the total opposite of Tom. He is more heart felt, and open, where as Tom he is more seclude and distant. I feel close to both boys, but closer to James than with Tom."
'What!? She did not just say she preferred James over me! How could she I mean he is a Ravenclaw. He isn't good enough for her.'
~How do you know? ~ Came a voice, not the same one as before but the voice of his heart.
'Well I mean I will always be there for here no matter what happens, I mean I feel a connection like this was meant to be.'
~Do you really feel like this for her? ~
'Yes, I would go to the ends of the earth and back if she asked me too. I couldn't hurt her.'
Then the evil voice came back ~you liar, of course you can hurt her it would be so easy, to use her and dump her~
'You're the liar, stay away from me! I couldn't hurt her even if I wanted too she just. . 'his thoughts trailed off but Jewels next words brought him out of it.
"Go on."
"How do you know I'm not done?"
"Cause I said you weren't."
"Fine well, Tom is like a friend who will be there when he chose to be, not if I needed to talk with him, and, James, he is like someone who I can open my heart too and share emotions with."
'You can share emotions with me too, I'll listen I'll be there I promise'
~Pathetic, give it a rest already~
'Shut-up, I don't want to her your opinion'
~fine have it your way. ~
"So I'm guessing you just confessed you like this James kid?"
"No . . . well kind of, its just if I had to chose between the two yes I like James., because I couldn't have a relationship with Tom because he is just so distant."
'What! How could she like that prick over me! I feel unwanted.'
~REJECTED! ~
'Oh, fuck off. I just learned that the girl I want doesn't want me I don't need to hear your complaints.' He reluctantly returned back to the conversation and was about to break it up when melody asked a very good question.
"If Tom wasn't distant, and didn't seem like all he cared about was himself would you chose him?"
"Well, yes I mean he is kind and sweet and caring but he needs to open up."
"I knew we would get it out of you eventually."
"How?"
"Well you see Jewels, Melody and I have been working on a way to get you to confess which boy you like and we knew you would never tell us outright so, we decided to force it unknowingly out of you."
"Clever, Thorn clever."
"I know I am such a genius."
"You mean full of yourself." At that remark melody got a pillow thrown at her and the girls started giggling and joking around. And I turned around and left to go to dinner thinking only happy thoughts.
