James walked in to the common room after late night practice. He almost missed the inconspicuous little ball huddled up under the blanket on the couch. He walked over and crouched beside the person. He pulled back the blanket slightly and looked at the girl's face. Her unusually pale cheeks were stained with tears. What happened to her rosy blush? She opened her eyes and gasped. He looked at her in shock. Had he done this to her? Her emerald eyes lacked their normal sparkle as they met his, sorrowfully. She chocked back a sob and opened her mouth to speak.

James beat her to it. "Ella..." he paused. How do you apologise to somebody for forgetting they exist? He sighed. "I wish I could remember you, I really do. From what Rox has been telling me, you're a really great girl. I don't understand what happened, why I can't remember you."

He was shocked to see her burst into tears again. Had he said something wrong?

Ella stared up at him. "I- I know why..." She whispered faintly. "But you'll hate me if I tell you"

"I won't," James promised.

"We were in the Library. You were getting Quidditch through the ages out and I reached for it at the same time as you. Then we chatted about Quidditch. You were about to walk away then I..." She mumbled the last part so he didn't hear it.

"Then you what?" James asked uncertainly.

Shelookedaway."Ikissedyouandfreakedoutandthenistupefiedyouandthentriedtowipeyourmemoryofthewholethingbuterasedmyselfcompletelyfromyourmemory." She cringed, waiting for him to freak out.

"Erm... This is weird..." James said, still shocked. He was kinda confused. "So you kissed me?" He asked.

"...yeah..."

"And then you knocked me out?"

"Uh-huh."

"...why?"

Ella finally looked at him. "Because I like you!" she blurted out. And froze. He just gaped at her so she continued. "I'm not the kinda girl who randomly kisses guys. I've only ever kissed one guy, and that was a dare! I thought you were gonna think it was gross so I knocked you out!" Ella kept talking; if she stopped, she'd never tell him the truth. "Then I realised you'd hate me for attacking you and I wanted you to forget This happened! So then I- Oomph!" She squeaked in shock as James leaned in and kissed her.

And wow. It was even better than first time.

They didn't notice, however when the portrait opened, until a voice said, "EEWW! My brother's snogging a girl!"

They pulled apart.

James scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Err, hey Al! Shouldn't you be in bed?" He asked.

Ella looked between them awkwardly. She got up whilst they argued and walked out the portrait hole.

It was three o'clock in the damn morning. Roxanne glared at James. Her hair was wild, and she looked quite terrifying.

"What. Is. So. Important. At. This. Time. In. The. Morning." She spat sleepily.

James beamed. "I remember!" He smiled. "I kissed her and now I remember!"

She blinked. "Ya wah?" She said. "I'm going sleep..."

"I've kinda lost her now though..."

Roxanne turned around. "Whoo..."

"Ella!" James replied, as though it was obvious. To him, it was.

"You want a place to be alone in the room of requirement," she yawned. Now I'm going back- Wait, WHAT?" She yelled, suddenly awake.

Next thing James knew, his cousin's wand was poking into his neck. When she spoke, her voice was low, and dangerous. "Hurt my friend, and I hurt you."

However, Ella wasn't in the room of requirement. She was in the Owlery. "Oh, James... Why did you kiss me? You don't even know me!" she sighed.

Lucy opened the door. "There you are, Elle! We've been searching all over!"

"James kissed me. He kissed me! After I told him why he can't remember me! He was quite cool about it... Ugh! I'm confused!"

"Well, maybe you should ask him? Instead of escaping him?"

At that point, said wizard walked in. "Lucy, I still can't- Oh there you are, Ella! You are a good kisser. And you're cute. And-"

"-Maybe I should go?" Lucy finished for him.

"Yeah," Ella replied as she flung her arms around James.

Lucy closed the door, smiling to herself. She had to tell Roxanne the good news. Ella was finally in the arms of their cousin.

It was the end of another Weasley mayhem, but it certainly wasn't the last.

Okay, so I know this story is pretty rubbish, but c'mon, no reviews? It never occured to me when I wrote for the most popular book fandom that I wouldn't get as many views as I did on a smaller fandom. Ah well.

Look out for my new story out in August! Basic summary on profile, but I need help for a title. A Marauder romance story.
