Amanda dropped her bag onto the floor taking the seat next to her friend. She couldn't help but notice the stupid grin that she wore and began to grin herself. Her friend was obviously happy about something, and she had a good idea as to what it was.
"So, the others are still in bed, are they?"
"Yep. Speaking of, what time did you come up? We were still talking at midnight and you weren't there then!"
Amanda caught her friend's eye and smiled coyly.
"Who said I went back to our dorm room?"
Branwen laughed as if surprised and gave Amanda the eye.
"So you stayed in the boys dorm room then."
"Yeah I needed to talk to Sirius and then I just stayed there, you know after Remus worked out I was a girl they wouldn't let me leave."
"Worked out you were a girl?"
"Yeah they needed a girl to advise Peter in the ways that we think. I'm guessing that I did well since the way you're smiling like an idiot."
Branwen's mouth dropped so that she looked like a fish and her eyes bulged out. This little bit of information must have amazed her.
"You told him?"
Amanda grinned at her friend.
"That depends, what did he say? Oh and plus, I want to know what happened last night! The only thing I heard was that you kissed Peter!"
Branwen's cheeks turned a little red just as they heard a wolf whistle. The pair turned to find James and Sirius winking at Peter who had his eyes on Branwen. She looked away a couple of second's later and met Amanda's eyes.
"Okay, so he knocked into me last night, when he gave me his hand. I just couldn't control myself, and I kissed him."
"Any good?"
"Mand!"
"Well if you don't ask, you'll never know."
They laughed lightly before Branwen continued.
"Well to be honest I wouldn't know from last night, he did nothing and I was so embarrassed that I ran away, went up to the dorm room and we had a girly chat about how girls react around guys they like."
"Oh and let me guess Ginny and Alice told you to be yourself."
"Yep. We had a good girly laugh about it actually. What about you then, I'd like to know how the boys reacted."
Amanda chuckled lowly looking around.
"Well they asked me what I thought Peter should do, you know with the fact that none of them have ever had a girlfriend before so they didn't know how to act. So first I asked if he fancied you and well, he said yes so I took that as a good sign."
She pulled a bacon and sausage roll onto her plate and took a bite as Branwen spooned some porridge into her own mouth.
"Anyway, I pretended to be Peter and had Sirius be you."
"Sirius, me?"
"Well yeah, Peter wasn't happy but I had to show Peter how to act and Remus and James were practically already sleeping."
"Okay, so…"
"Oh yeah so I took Sirius' hand and said that I liked him and that I was sorry for my reaction to the kiss that it had taken me by surprise and would he come to Hogsmeade with me. Now how did Pete do?"
"He interlaced his fingers with mine, said he liked me apologised about last night and asked me to Hogsmeade."
Amanda smiled at her friend raising her right eyebrow as she went as if waiting for the answer.
"I said yes."
The pair squealed as Amanda grabbed her friends hand.
"So you're going on a date with Pete. Bet he'll kiss you in Hogsmeade."
"He kissed me this morning."
It was said rather quietly and the red was back in her face.
"Any good?"
"Mand! Well… yeah."
They laughed as they climbed to their feet it was already quarter to nine and they would have to get up to the second floor for their lesson. Before leaving Amanda turned to the boys.
"Aren't you four coming? We have Defence Against the Dark Arts now, and you don't want to miss Ddraig's lesson."
Then linking her arm with Branwen's they strolled out of the main hall. As they began their climb up the marble stairs Branwen spoke up.
"Oh no! Nhad saw Peter kiss me, what's he going to say?"
"Bran, don't worry! Tell you what, we'll speak to your dad after the lesson and clear everything up and then he can't get all mad can he?"
With that the pair walked into the classroom and took the seats at the front waiting for the lesson to begin.
Hey guys, I thought I'd be nice and post for you again. I hope to have another chapter up before Christmas in fact I'm determined to have one up by a week today as I won't be here Christmas Eve and then it'll be too busy.
Taylin, you reviewed chapter one, So I think maybe you re-read it by mistake and that's why you thought that it had gone back to Amanda but the chapter that I posted was about Peter, hope that helps
Jessie University is going great, thanks for asking. I finished on the 10th and I go back on the 12th to exams. How fun. But my friends come back tomorrow Gavin from Oxford and Claire from Liverpool. I know it's sad about me and Nic but she's coming over today and I think there might be a reason. If I'm right I'll let you know next post what it is.
Annie I'm guessing her addy is hotmail because only her name came up in the review. Might send her a snowball as well then or maybe another one… Yes I know I didn't want to give it away but when you asked me I couldn't stop myself it was like, but its Annie, and reading it now you can see it happening and I can see it as I'm writing it.
Firewalker32 yeah I'd hate to have the father or mother of someone I was seeing being a teacher because think if you have an argument with her especially in Hogwarts he always close enough to know and give you a lecture. But Ddraig is cool so I don't think he'll mind… much! I know I wish Peter was nice throughout but its one of those things and that's why I can't understand why people leave him out of the story because he has to be there for the story to work.
Lily Nicole Potter You stumbled on why Peter becomes evil and I couldn't believe it when I read it I thought wow she's discovered my entire sub-plot that's hidden beneath the rest of the story, I was well impressed honest I was. My day well its still early I've gotten up watched an hour of TV and now on the computer but my friend is coming over later so it should get better. How about your day?
Like I said I'm trying to post next week so hopefully I'll get a message to you all before Christmas
