Melissa approaches Cora's bed.
"How are you feeling?" she asks, checking on Cora's leg. "You'll be able to walk on it again soon."
"Awesome," Cora replies. She still can't wipe the grin off her face, remembering the exchange between Stiles and Derek.
Melissa gives smiles mischievously. "So," she says, "what was all that between Stiles and Derek? Are they - you know -?"
Cora stares at her for a moment before starting to giggle again.
"Oh no, they're not together, and Derek won't admit that he has a cruuuush."
Melissa grins at the sing-song tone of Cora's voice.
"Well I think they would be cute together," Melissa muses, "Derek is so quiet and Stiles literally never shuts up."
Cora can't stop laughing. Even the teachers ship it, for Merlin's sake.
"You seriously think Derek has a crush on Stiles?" Allison looks at Cora in disbelief.
Cora rolls her eyes. "Ugh, just because you think he's completely unattractive."
"Looks like a frog," Allison mutters.
"Well I think he's cute." Cora insists, "and trust me, I know Derek is into him. It's so obvious!"
Cora hatches a plan right there and tracks James down to tell him.
"James, I'm trying to prove something to Allison, it's about the Stilinski kid. Tomorrow in the common room could you please get him sitting with the team? Pleeeease?"
James raises his eyebrows. "Only if you tell me what you're trying to prove!"
Cora blushes. "I can't tell you, it's personal. And I've seen the way you look at Scott McCall. Maybe we can help each other out here. You get my drift?"
James pauses, then grins and nods.
"Tomorrow, yeah?"
"Can't wait."
