Chapter 4: The beginning of a new relationship
I can't like James, this is my imagination, there is no weird feeling, he's a Gryffindor and I'm a Slytherin, our families hate each other" thought Manny, trying to convince herself that she doesn't like James at all. "But I can't deny it, there's something there, when I looked in his eyes."
James was staring in the direction that Manny ran in. He finally decided to go after her. His head was overflowing with thoughts. "What is this I'm feeling? I can't feel anything for Manny Malfoy, it goes against everything I've ever been taught" He went through the Slytherin door and then into the main dorm. Manny was lying on her bed. Her head was at the foot of the bed, just staring at the wall. James stood in the doorway to announce his presence.
"Manny?" She turned her head to look at James
"What do you want?"
"Can we just talk?"
"I guess"
"Manny, back there, I felt something and as crazy as this sounds, maybe you felt something too?"
"Maybe, but we live completely different lives, our parents would kill us"
"We can control our own lives; you don't have to be just like your parents"
"Yes I do! That's what is expected of me!" screamed Manny
"Well then do something unexpected, don't let your parents make your life for you" James took a step towards her.
"James, what are you doing?"
"Doing something unexpected" He stood right in front of her, leaned down and gently brushed his lips against hers. Manny felt a chill go up her spine as she gave in to the kiss. But it ended as quickly as it started. She sighed as James pulled away.
"We should get back to our guests" whispered James
"Ok. Hey James?"
"Yeah?"
"So what's going on with us?"
"Well…we could go out?"
"Are you asking?"
"Yes"
"Well…" James looked disappointed then he saw the Manny's face and realized she was just messing with his head, "Sounds good" she said. She playfully hits his arm, "You do realize that everyone is going to be in shock, our parents, our friends, and the entire student body?"
"Yeah but they'll come around, I hope"
James and Manny walked back into the living room to find everyone still dancing. They noticed it was 11:30 and they were about ready to go to bed. A few minutes later Violet suggested that they all go to bed. Jenn, Lucas, Charlotte, Derek and Darrah all headed to the back of the room to go to their respective dorms. Manny, Matt, and Stephen headed towards the Slytherin door and the other 10 people went towards the Gryffindor rooms. Everyone murmured good night and they all went off to bed.
A/N- Sorry so short. Manny and James have some interesting stuff coming their way in the not so far away future.
