Chapter 3

It has been nearly a week since the night when James caught me flying. I have spent several nights tutoring James with potions. And in exchange, he has been helping me a bit with transfigurations. It has been hard work, but the both of us are improving.

For some crazy reason we are both almost starting to get along. He still asks me out everyday, but it is less embarrassing and irritating. Some people have actually asked me if we are dating. We aren't of course. So my response is normally something like struggling to say no because I am laughing so hard. We get along, but we aren't dating. We aren't even friends! But they won't relent. Anyways…We have patrol tonight, so I had better get out of my room and meet him in our common room.

I walked down the stairs to meet him. When I came downstairs he was standing by the couch waiting for me. He smiled and we left together in silence. We had been walking for about 10 minutes before he spoke. "Hey Evans, did you see me drop something when you came downstairs?"

I thought back. "No, I don't think so. What do you think you dropped?"

"My jaw!"

By that, he basically meant that I looked hot. That was just another stupid pick up line, just another attempt to ask me out again. "You know, I think you did drop something. But not your jaw."

He hit his pockets, probably thinking he dropped his wand. After finding it, he asked "Really? What did I drop?"

"Your dignity."

With that I walked away. I know, I should be patrolling with him. But he can just be so irritating! Sure, he's sweet, charming, interesting, super hot, and…wait! What am I saying? James is none of those things! If I meant those things…that would mean I liked him! And I most definitely do not.

I kept patrolling alone, it may be better this way. And it is definitely easier than hearing anyone out of bed without having a voice talking in my ear. But it is sort of lonely. And it can be a bit scary walking through the dark hallways…alone.

I kept on going for another hour or so, until our shift was over. I walked inside and flopped on the couch. I am absolutely exhausted! I closed my eyes. I didn't get off after that.

I woke up the next morning in my bed. Not the couch where I fell asleep, my bed. I quickly got dressed and went downstairs. It is the weekend, so I wore my own casual clothes instead of my uniform. I found James sitting on the couch, reading. "Hey Evans, did you sleep okay?"

"Yeah, I guess. But, do you know if I like…sleep walked or something? I though I fell asleep on the couch."

"You did fall asleep on the couch. But you didn't sleepwalk. When I came in you were on the couch, and I figured you might be more comfortable in your own bed. But you looked so peaceful and I didn't want to wake you. So I carried you up."

"Oh, thanks. We should probably go get some breakfast before it's all gone."

We went downstairs and sat with our friends. For once though, we all sat together. We talked, joked, and laughed. Then James brought up something that I was hoping he wouldn't. "Evans, you know the quiditch try outs are next Saturday. You should sign up and get practicing."

Our friends were all confused, everyone was saying things like: "You play quiditch? You can actually fly? Since when?"

I sent a look at James, which he didn't seem to catch. As he kept on talking about it. "Oh yeah, she flies. I caught her last week during one of her late night flies. She is quite good."

"I am not very good Potter. And I never said I was trying out."

I grabbed my books and left, alone. I headed out for my favorite old tree by the lake. I started reading, getting caught up in the world of my fairy tales. I didn't even notice when someone walked up beside me. "I'm sorry."

I looked up and saw James again. "What for?"

"I didn't think about the fact that you may not want people to know about your flying. It is personal to you. And it helps you clear your head and get away from all the pressure. And I know that you don't like doing things in front of people. So I should of known that you might not want to try out. But I still think you should. You really are good. You may not think you are, but you didn't see. You were going so fast, and I saw your dives. You would be a perfect seeker. So please think about it."

"Thanks Potter, I'll think about it. Maybe it won't be so bad."

"That's great Evans." He said, his face and eyes smiling. "Oh, before I go, there is something I wanted to ask you."

"What's that?"

"What time do you have to be back in heaven?"

I chuckled, "Goodbye Potter."

He lifted is hands in defeat as he walked away. He won't be giving up anytime soon.
