This is StardustandSnitches's prompt:
Krista and James, flowers, twirls, and must include the word fairy. This one sounds cute, and I like cute. Enjoy!
Krista was practically buried under all of her homework. O.W.L.S will do that to you. She needed a distraction. After she finished her stupid Charms essay. As she finished her final paragraph, she found herself thinking about James. They had been together for almost a year. She stuffed the finished essay in her bag and then went to search for James. She spotted Rose and Lily near the entrance of the library.
"Do you know where James is?" She asked the two.
"No, but Rose could tell you exactly where Scorpius is," Lily said, smirking at her older cousin.
"Shut up, Lily. I saw James near the Hospital Wing, closer to the Clock Tower, I think." Rose looked ready to continue.
"Thanks Rose, I think I can manage," Krista said, feeling a bit tired. Lily waved cheekily at her as she left. She was just about to leave when she remembered the Herbology quiz they had tomorrow. She walked right back in for a power study session. Rose looked up.
"Remembered our Herbology quiz?" Rose asked, looking up from her book. Krista sat down with a sigh. Rose gave her a sympathetic smile before handing her a Herbology book. She took it irritably, wishing she could go find James. About an hour later, Hugo came to her.
"James wanted me to give this to you," he said, handing me a note.
"Thank you." Hugo left quickly, probably to get the money James owed him.
"What does it say?" Rose asked, peering over her left shoulder, Lily doing the same on the right. Krista opened slowly and dramatically.
"Well, hurry up!" Lily said impatiently. Krista smirked and whipped it out. She read it aloud.
"Krista, meet me at eight by the Forbidden Forest. Yours truly, James." Lily smirked. Rose burst into quiet laughter. Krista swatted her friend's arm. Lily danced out of reach when she turned to glare. Krista bid her amused friends goodbye and left to get ready for the date.
She was speed walking down the corridor at quarter till eight. Her hair wasn't cooperative, delaying her for a while. She slowed when she got outside, mesmerized by the fireflies that seemed to twinkle more than flicker. They reminded her of tiny fairies, dancing in the moonlight, their perfect wings shining brightly. She spotted James looking as handsome as ever. Not that she'd ever tell him that. She ran toward him, not caring that her hair was windswept. His face lit up when he saw her.
"You came! These are for you." He gave her yellow and purple tulips, her favorite. She gratefully accepted the flowers, burying her nose in them. She set them down in nearby vase.
"So, are you going to do something romantic?" She asked. He shrugged.
"We could dance," he suggested. She folded her arms.
"There's no music," she stated.
"That's the best part." He bowed.
"Milady," he said with an accent she couldn't remember at this moment. Old English maybe? She didn't care. They started waltzing clumsily on the uneven ground. He twirled her in the opposite direction he was supposed to, resulting to them falling down. They laughed.
"That wasn't a waltz," she said, trying to appear stern. He grinned at her.
"That was the James Potter waltz, sweetheart," he said.
"Sweetheart?"
"Sorry, book quote," he said apologetically. She shook her head and laughed and he leaned and kissed her. She deepened the kiss.
"Ahem." They looked up to see Neville standing there. They scrambled off the ground.
"Professor Longbottom! I can explain!" James said, looking mortified.
"I'm sure you can," he responded, amused. Krista sighed.
I hope you enjoyed it. Especially StardustandSnitches. Thanks for reading! Love, EmilyHarmony.
