AT DINNER, 2 1/2 HOURS LATER

"So, Magnolia." Ginny said. Magnolia looked up for the first time since she was forced to kiss Fred under a mistletoe.

Her face was still burning along with Fred who was scooting away from James every chance he got. James constantly glared at him. Other victims of the mistletoe were, Teddy and Victoire, Bill and Fleur, Percy and his wife Audrey, and Ron and Grandma Weasley.

"Yes?" she asked quietly.

"Would you like some carrots?" she asked.

"No thank you." Magnolia said politely ducking her head back down. Grandma Weasley stood up.

"I think it's time for dessert and cleaning up." she said standing up. Everyone followed and Magnolia helped clear the table.

"No, Magnolia." Hermione said. "You're the guest. You should go and..."

"Please?" she asked looking at Hermione with pleading eyes. Hermione glanced at Fred who ran right out of the room.

"Alright." she said. They began clearing the table. Dominique and Louis cleaned the dishes while Magnolia dried them.

"Here's dessert!" Mrs. Weasley said bringing it out and placing it in front of the people in the kitchen. It was a white frosting covered cake with raspberries decorated on it.

"It looks delicious." Magnolia said.

"Thank you dear." Mrs. Weasley said.

"I've baked before, but nothing this pretty." Magnolia said as Mrs. Weasley's eyes lit up.

"You bake?" she asked wanting to know more.

"Yes. I can cook also, but it's only average." she said.

"what can you whip up?'

"Mostly noodle dishes and side dishes. But I can pretty do anything." Mrs. Weasley thought for a moment about one of her grandchild's favorite dishes.

"How about...."

"Stop pestering the dear child." Ron said.

"I'm not pestering her."

"You were about to ask her is she could make Jam...Fred's favorite dish weren't you?" Ron remembering Magnolia didn't like James all too much, but Fred and James did have the same taste. It was like they had the same tongue.

"What is it?" Magnolia asked.

"Sunday roast for dinner, pancakes with chocolate ice cream and whipped cream for breakfast, and some American type of meal for lunch." she said.

"I could make all of those, but not the American meal."

"That's OK. Not many people can." she said. "I should bring this out for everyone."

"Let me help." Ron said.

"Thank you." Mrs. Weasley said as they walked the cake out followed, bring spoons and plates.

Hermione had already began cutting and she passed out the cake slices. Magnolia sat down next to Rose who just happened to be next to Fred. Magnolia stared at him and he turned red and looked away.

Hermione set one slice in front of Magnolia and she a bite and swallowed not noticing what kind of cake it was.

James took a bite after Magnolia took 4 or 5 bites and jumped up immediately.

"This is strawberry!!!" he yelled. Magnolia's eyes widened.

"Yes. It's all natural but you won't be able to taste it...." Mrs. Weasley said.

"excuse me." Magnolia said rushing to the bathroom.

"What iz wong wit 'er?" Fleur asked. "Iz she bulimic?" she asked hearing wretching noises.

"NO." James said. "She's highly allergic to strawberries and she's trying to throw it up before anything bad happens." James said. Hermione and Ginny hurried to the bathroom.

"Oh no. What have I done?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Probably nothing too bad. I gave her a candy heart with strawberry." Hugo said. "nothing too bad happened. she had a rash on her arm, but had to stay in the hospital wing for a while." Hugo looked up to see James above him with a scary look.

"WHY DID YOU GIVE HER STRAWBERRIES?"

"It was valentine's d-day and she kept getting chocolate, so I thought I would give her something different..."

"First of all, WHY NOT VANILLA? Secondly, WHY WERE YOU GIVING HER SOMETHING FOR VALENTINE'S DAY???" James yelled at him.

"She gave me something the year before and I wanted to return the favor." Hugo said quietly. James stared at him, burning into his skull.

Everyone started to leave, but Mrs. Weasley and James stayed.

"How well do you know Magnolia?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"We're rivals." he said.

"In what?" she asked.

"Everything."

"Including grades?"

"Yes, but there's not much of a competition there."

"I've been told." she said.

"Magnolia's very smart." he said.

"I never thought rivals talked well about each other."

"Well, no. I say a few nice words about her here and there. It's not like I hate her."

"It's more like love, isn't it?" she asked. James looked away, hiding his pink face. Ginny came rushing in.

"James. Go into Lily's room and move Magnolia's things into the guest room. She's staying there for the night."

"Mum." Lily said following her mother. "Why does Magnolia have to stay in the other room?" she whined.

"Magnolia's going to be throwing up all night. She's going to need a personal bathroom." Ginny said. "Go James. Aunt Hermione's going move Magnolia to the guest room's bathroom soon." James nodded and ran the staircase to get Magnolia's things. He found it was wide opened, revealing her clothes, toiletries zipped on the side, and bras and panties packed in the left.

He gasped and tried hard not to freak out. He accidentally tipped it over and her bra sized was shown to be a 32C.

"James...."Rose said standing the doorway. She saw James staring at Magnolia's suitcase close to flooding it with his drool.

"Yea?" James said quickly zipping it up and pulling it out the door.

"what were you doing?" she asked on the verge of giggling.

"Nothing..." he said turning red.

"You were nicking knickers, weren't you?" she asked.

"NO!!!" he yelled loudly.

"Alright. Alright. I believe you. You're not Chad Withers who snuck into Magnolia's...." James' face twisted into fury."Just kidding!! He's too afraid to go near Magnolia." she opened the door that revealed the light blue room and clean pure white sheets.

Then they heard Magnolia throwing up.

"Just ignore me!!" she yelled. "I'm fine!!"

"James, you agree with that statement, don't you?" Rose asked.

"What statement?"

"That Magnolia's fine." Rose said giggling. James turned pink.

"Shut up." James said. Rose began cleaning the room.

"I feel a little better." Magnolia said coming out of the bathroom. She opened her suitcase and lifted her head and stared at James. "Do you mind....?"

"Oh! Yea...Sure." James said walking out. As he was walking out, Fred stood before him.

"So...What did you see?" he asked grinning.

"Nothing."

"Well, at least I got tongue." Fred joked. James jumped at his throat. "I...WA..I...WAS...JO...JOKING!!!" Fred yelled. James stood up and smiled innocently.

"Good." he said walking away. Lily walked by them and into Magnolia's room with chocolate. The two boys looked at her with curiosity, but shrugged it off and went to hang out with the other guys.

a few hours later(around 10), they were walking up the stairs to get James' new prank plans when Rose opened the door behind them.

"she wants you." Rose said in pure shock.

"Well, that kiss must have..." Fred said smirking. James glared at him.

"Not you, you prat." Rose said. "James." James beamed with pride.

"FRED!!!!" Angelina yelled.

"ROSE!!!" Hermione yelled.

"LILY!!!! JAMES!!!" Ginny yelled.

"WE'RE LEAVING!!!" Hermione and Angelina yelled.

"GO TO BED!!!!" Ginny yelled.

"HAHAHAHA." Rose said. "too bad for you James. You missed your chance."She and Fred walked away laughing.

"Never." he said reaching for the knob of the door, but Ginny pulled him away.

"I told you to go to bed." she said. He groaned and went to brush his teeth.

Around 11:30, James was sure everyone was asleep because his mum always took sleeping pills that made a very heavy sleeper, his dad always went to bed at 11:15, unless it was a special occasion that mostly included Uncle Ron or Aunt Hermione's birthday, Albus was knocked out by the time his head hit the pillow, and Lily's music player would have lulled her to sleep by got out of bed and tip-toed to Magnolia's room, where he could her quiet humming when he pressed his ear to the door.

'She always hums when she thinking very hard.' he thought to himself. He quietly opened the door and stuck his head in.

"Who's there!?" Magnolia said as she sat up in bed. "I...I..Have pepper spray....And..."

"Calm down." James said quietly. "It's just me. James."He heard her sigh in relief.

"Good." she said. "I thought someone had broken in." she said. "Why are you here?" she asked.

"Rose...Rose said you..." He couldn't find the right words.

"Oh." she said sounding slightly disappointed. "well...I wanted to talk to you about..."

"Yea?" James closed the door behind him and stared at Magnolia in the darkness. She bit her lip.

"I...Why do you hate me?" Magnolia asked. "I know the whole ordeal in 1st year and everything, but..."

"Wait. I thought you hated me." James said slightly confused.

"Well, you are an annoying prat sometimes." she said as if it was obvious,

"You're no piece of Heaven either." James snorted.

"Neither is Hufflepuff's chaser, but you're still dating her." Magnolia said steaming with anger. James grinned at the fact Magnolia was jealous.

"Are you...jealous?" He asked with a grin. He could hear her choking on air.

"Jealous? Of who?" Magnolia asked. "your girlfriend?" she spat out.

"Uh....Yea." He asked.

"She's pretty but I'm not jealous of her." Magnolia said.

"I don't know Kirsten. Maybe you're jealous because she's dating..."

"Potter. Don't even finish that sentence." Magnolia said. "I don't like you in that way. OK?"

"Just teasing you of course." James said sighing.

"Good." she said.

"So...."

"So....we're friends right?" Magnolia asked.

"Sure." James said. 'At least I can be close to her without having her punch me.' he thought.

"Great. Let's shake on it." Magnolia said. James jumped at the opportunity to touch her. Magnolia also got up, but as he walked towards Magnolia, he collided into her and both of them landed on the bed with James on top and Magnolia trapped under him.

"S-S-S-Sorry." James said. Magnolia stared up at him.

"C-Can you get off me?" she asked. James jumped off. "Maybe we should wait for the shake in the morning."

"Yea...See you in the morning." he said carefully walking to the door. And Magnolia heard the door shut quietly.

"I really hate your girlfriend." Magnolia whispered. "She would have gotten to stay in that position."

NEXT DAY

"Good morning!" Magnolia said walking to the kitchen in her pajamas.

"Good morning, Magnolia." Harry Potter said as he took a piece of toast out of the toaster.

"Good morning." Lily said eating a bowl of cereal.

"What would you like for breakfast?" Harry asked her.

"Cereal is fine with me." she said.

"Nonsense." Harry said. His and Lily's eyes widened as they saw Magnolia's pajamas.

"Woah Magnolia." Lily said. "Cute PJs." she said standing up.

"Yea, my mom bought them for me." she said looking at her blue yellow ducky covered short shorts. "But it was a long time ago."

"It's..a..nice...Looks good on you. Lily, you're not getting one like that." Harry said looking away.

"Thanks Mr. Potter." Magnolia said. Harry set a a large plate in front of Magnolia. There were sausage links, bacon strips, 3 sunny side up eggs, and French toast.

"Wow Dad." Lily said.

"Thank you Mr. Potter, but I can't finish this..."

"You have to eat up, Magnolia. You probably threw up everything you ate last night."

"I did...but..."

"Morning Dad, Lil...." James stopped mid-way when he saw Magnolia in short shorts and only 4 our of 6 buttoned buttons on her shirt.

"Good morning." Harry and Lily said, giggling at his expression.

"Good morning, James." Magnolia said waving her hand in front of his eyes.

"G-Good morning, Magnolia." He said. "Were you wearing that last night?" he asked.

"Yea...." Magnolia said.

"Are all your pajamas like that?"

"Of course not." she said.

"Is that your plate, Dad?" James asked seeing the large plate of food.

"No." he said.

"You know Lily, you can't eat like this every time you come home. You're gonna get fat." Lily glared at him.

"It's not mine. It's Magnolia's. Dad's trying to make sure Magnolia's not starving." James stared at the turned back of his father.

"You can have some." Magnolia said. "I actually don't eat that much anyway." she said taking a piece of French toast.

"Thanks." James said. They sat next to each other and started eating while Lily and Harry watched them."What?" James asked shoving a piece of bacon in his mouth.

"Nothing!" Harry and Lily said laughing. Magnolia shook her head and continued chewing.

"James. Go wake up your brother!" Harry told him.

"But I'm eating!" James said.

"I can do it, Mr. Potter." Magnolia said running up the stairs. James watched her leave and began eating again.

"You know James. Albus has his own room." Lily said.

"I know Lily. I'm not that much of an idiot." James said.

"Well, Magnolia is going into a boy's bedroom all by herself without any protection."

"It's Al, Lily. she can take him." James said. Lily huffed and sat back down. Then a few minutes later, everyone heard the door open.

"It's Victoire and Teddy!" Ginny yelled half asleep. She took her night mask and covered her eyes again and went back to bed.

"Victoire! Teddy!" Magnolia yelled hugging them. James' eyes widened and he raced to the doorway where Teddy and Magnolia were hugging.

"TEDDY!" James said pulling Magnolia off of him. She gave him a WTF look, but he ignored it. "Let's talk." he said pulling Teddy away.

"Come on Magnolia. Help me with my wedding." Victoire said pulling her away. she nodded and followed the french girl.

"Teddy. You and me gotta talk about something very important." James said pulling him to the couch.

"what about James? Oh and I talked to Vic and no one has to wear a hat or weird looking robes."

"That's great and all, but I wanted to talk about Magnolia."

"I already told you...."

"Yea, but I haven't told you that we are now friends. Which means I get more privileges, like beating you up if you touch her again." James said.

"Congrats James. You've upgraded from rival to friend. Now let's see if you can skip best friend and go directly to boyfriend." Teddy said standing up.

"Bye Uncle Harry! Lily and Magnolia are coming with me to get dress fitted!" Harry ran after them.

"You're picking up Hermione and Rose right?" He asked.

"Yea." Victoire said.

"Tell her to swing by." Harry said. Victoire nodded and they were off.
