It was now a week later and time to go home. The duo was in their usual compartment.

"Where's Lee?" Tim asked, glancing around for his best friend's boyfriend.

"We broke up a few days ago actually."

Tim sat next to her. "Do I need to hurt him?"

"No, not all. I broke up with him. It wasn't anything serious."

Tim sighed in relief. He happened to like Lee he didn't want to hurt the guy unless he had hurt his best friend. The two best friends continued talking until they reached King's Cross. They said a long goodbye and went their separate ways.

Her dad was in the midst of planning his wedding to Eliza. Amber was at the muggle book shop that Melissa's dad owned. She got along really well with her dad since they were both readers. He had offered her a part time job during the summer this year and then she would have dinner over their house. She was at the cashier, currently.

"Did you find everything you need?" she asked the young girl on the other side of the counter.

"Yes, I have."

She scanned the books. A blue cover caught her eye it read. 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.

"That's a really good book, I've read it a couple of times. This one is a gift for a friend."

Amber nodded and finished ringing her up. Once she finished, the girl left. She walked to the young adult section and found the book. She bought the book for herself.

It was later that night, she was reading in bed. She was really enjoying the book. She fell asleep in the wee hours of the morning.

The next morning or rather afternoon Amber woke up to a knock on her bedroom door. She groaned. She hadn't realised it was afternoon until her clock flashed '12:30 pm'. She immediately jumped out of bed, walked to the door and pulled it open to face her best friend.

"Someone was up late last night," he smirked, strolling into his best friend's room.

"Tim, I'm still in my pajamas," she said, covering up her pyjamas which consisted of a 'Weird Sisters' tee and some rather short shorts.

Though, if you ask Tim he didn't mind the view of his best friend's long legs that seemed to go on forever.

"Out," she instructed, waving him out.

He reluctantly left his best friend's room. After Tim left her room, she quickly threw on some cut off jeans and another Weird Sisters tee. You can say she and Dora were just a little obsessed with the band seeing as they both had many Weird Sisters tees. She walked down the stairs to see Tim lounging on the couch flipping through the channels on the telly. Her stomach growled loudly and she went to the kitchen to grab something to eat. She decided on a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich with her favourite jelly.

"Tim, you want anything to eat?" she asked.

"It depends, what are you offering?"

"A sandwich."

There was no reply but he walked into the kitchen.

"So, is that a yes?"

Tim looked over and said. "You do remember that I'm highly allergic to peanuts, Ambie."

She face palmed and said. "Oops, I'm stupid I almost made you sick."

"You're not stupid, you're one of the smartest girls in our year," Tim smiled, opening the fridge and taking out the ingredients for his sandwich.

Amber blushed deeply at her best friend's comment. She finished making the sandwich, grabbed a soda and left the kitchen to sit on the couch. After a few minutes, Tim joined her with his sandwich and soda.

"I don't understand how you and my dad like that vile stuff!" Amber exclaimed, referring to Tim's sandwich.

"Spam is delicious, you're crazy."

Amber flipped through the channels on the telly. There was nothing interesting on.

"So, why were you up so late?" Tim asked as he gulped down his soda.

"I was reading a new book."

Tim chuckled good-naturedly. "Only you'd stay up to read a book."

"I don't appreciate the teasing Timothy Cai Selwyn," Amber said, her light brown eyes twinkling mischievously.

"You're my nerd, Amberly Joyce Tonks," he smiled, putting his arm around her.

She briefly leaned her head on his shoulder. She really liked having his strong arm around her she wouldn't mind if he would put both arms around her. The two friends continued eating.

"There's a piece of chocolate cake from my dad's cake tasting. You want to share it?"

"As long it doesn't have peanuts, I'm up for it."

"It's peanut free."

Tim nodded. Amber reluctantly got up and grabbed the cake from the fridge, two forks, poured two glasses of milk, walked back to the living room and sat down next to her best friend. The duo ate the cake right up.

"That was delicious, well worth the cheat day to keep this rockin bod," Tim chuckled, putting his arm back around Amber and leaning back on the couch pulling her closer.

Amber gladly leaned her head on his chest comfortably. This is the position they were found in by her dad and Eliza a few hours later.

"Hey dad," she greeted, looking up from her best friend's chest.

"Hey sweetie."

"Hey Mr. Tonks," Tim said, reluctantly taking his arm from around Amber and standing up.

Amber stood up next to him. They said their goodbyes and Tim left. Amber gathered the dishes that they had forgotten to wash and put them in the sink.

"So, how was your day?"

"More like afternoon, I regrettably didn't get up until 12:30pm, Tim woke me up and saw me in pyjamas. After I changed, I made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Tim made a spam sandwich. After we finished our respective sandwiches we shared the piece of cake from your cake tasting. After that we just watched the telly."

Elliot asked. "How long have you fancied him?"

"Since last Christmas."

Elliot nodded.
