I don't own Harry Potter 'cause I'm not JK Rowling.
There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb
There's a fine, fine line between love and a waste of time
There's a Fine, Fine Line by Avenue Q
Izzy's POV:
Soon, the Finn incident fell far behind me. Al left it alone, too, other than occasionally sending threatening looks at Finn. I could tell that Al was upset, which I thought was a little strange. I mean, it's not like Finn did any of that to Al. I was the one that had been hurt, and I'd gotten over it really soon.
"So," Al started, bringing me from my thoughts, "are you staying at my house for Christmas?"
I thought a second before replying. "Well, Marie says she wants me to come home, and it would be nice to be with my family on Christmas," I told Al, and looked disappointed. "But I suppose that I could spend part of break with your completely mad family."
At this, Al's face lit up a bit. "Thank goodness! I thought I was going to have to hang out with James and Lily," he grimaced.
"Hey! I'm not deaf!" James from his spot on the couch across from us.
"Who says I didn't want you to hear?" Albus replied, and I punched his arm.
"Play nice!" I reprimanded, and Al let out an exasperated sigh.
"Shoot!" Albus exclaimed suddenly. "I have Quidditch practice!" He jumped up from beside me and ran towards his dorms to change.
I shot an accusing look at James, who was sitting with Celeste. "You're the captain. Shouldn't you be out there already?"
"Of course, Mother," James muttered sarcastically.
"Don't use that tone with me!" I cried jokingly, and James just rolled his eyes while Celeste giggled.
Al appeared beside me again, his broom in hand. "Getting a lecture, Jamesie?" he teased his brother.
"Come on, we're going to be late," James muttered in reply. He slid his hand into Celeste's and they started out of the room.
"Gross," Al murmured to me before following.
I sighed. "Grow up," I told him, and he clambered out of the doorway. Just then, Rose came up and plopped down by my side.
"Hey," she said to me cheerily.
"Oh, hi Rose," I said and smiled at her.
"So…" Rose began, "what's up with you and Al?" she asked.
I stared at her, taken aback. "Er…nothing. We're just friends. Best friends, and you know that!" I told her defensively.
The girl just laughed, then she turned back to me. "Oh, come on, Izzy! Don't try to tell me that you don't like him like that."
I sat in shock. What was she talking about? "Well…I don't, actually," I told Rose carefully.
Rose just sighed. "Okay…well, don't you think it's possible that Albus feels that way about you?" she asked softly, raising her eyebrows.
"Er, no. Not really…" I replied uncomfortably. "I don't think that he…would think about me that way…"
"All right," Rose said cautiously. "See you later!" she said brightly, then jumped from the couch and bounced off.
What was Rose talking about? Was she right? Did Al actually like me? Albus?
No. Al and I were just friends, and nothing more.
Anyways, I could never feel that way about him.
Alright, peoples. This is ridiculously short, I know. I'm really sorry! Because of this, I'm going to update ASAP! Probably not tonight, though. I'm going to my friend's house and we're gonna watch Starship! It's coming out on YouTube tonight! Anyone else watching it?
