Chapter 11: Summer Goodbyes
Written By: TheChannyWizard
"I can't believe the school year went by so fast!" Elizabeth exclaimed, flicking her black hair over her shoulder. She got no response though, because James and Pricilla were sucking each others' faces, I mean snogging, I mean kissing, each other. Elizabeth nearly gagged then left the compartment feeling ignored and hurt. She made her way to Al, Scorpius, and Rose's compartment.
"So...what are you guys going to do when you get home?" Rose asked Scorpius, their bodies nearly touching. They were still quite uncomfortable with the whole "mushy couple" stuff.
"Oh, I don't know-"Scorpius was cut short from a knock on the door. He got up and was amazed to see Elizabeth looking extremely awkward.
"Mind if I join you lot? I can't stand to be near those two face-suckers," she said, crossing her arms, still looking extremely uncomfortable. Scorpius' eyebrows rose, but he said nothing and moved over to let her in.
"What's James doing that's so bad?" Rose inquired, looking at the black haired girl. She frowned and rolled her eyes in a mean way, making the others look at her surprised.
"You really want to know? Then go to his compartment and go check it out," she retorted with such hatred, it made everyone quite scared. The three 2nd year students filed out of the compartment. Why am I feeling this way? Elizabeth inwardly groaned. James is nothing more than a friend; a friend, that's all. They came back a few minutes later with horror written all over their faces.
"I didn't even know he could kiss like that. He must have had a lot of girlfriends if he could kiss that good!" Al commented. "Those pictures in my mind still get me freaked out!" Elizabeth frowned and felt her heart hurting with every word Al said. Rose apparently noticed this and put a hand on Al's shoulder.
"How about we talk about Quiditch?" she asked through clenched teeth. Al understood immediately and began an animated conversation though Elizabeth zoned out for the most part.
How she hated Pricilla Presley. Merlin's beard, she was in Slytherin! They were always the enemy of Gryffindors! Besides...that girl always gave her mean glares and always kissed James whenever she walked into the room. She had practically hypnotized James and made him attracted to her. James didn't even pay attention to her anymore. Not even when she told him that for his birthday, she had gotten them tickets to see the hottest new band concert. He just kept staring into Pricilla's eyes, looking all lovesick. Well Elizabeth was sick of that behavior.
What had happened to the James she had known? The one who was smart, practical, fun, adventurous? All that had gone down the drain once he and Pricilla had started to date. What was so special about her anyway? Of course she didn't think she was pretty or anything, but really? Pricilla was the worst choice to make! Anyway, it was too late now. The train suddenly stopped and the students began to file out.
Elizabeth took one last look at the train before collecting her baggage and heading out of the train. There she saw Aaron and Simone waiting with the Potter and Weasley family. She took a deep breath and walked forward, step by step. Quite unusually, she was the last one to arrive. There she saw James give one last kiss to Pricilla then get ready to leave. The black haired beauty felt outraged. "James!" she called, sprinting towards the young Potter boy. "Surely you're not going to leave without saying bye to me?" she questioned, feeling her eyes getting a little wet.
"Look, I really have to go. I'll see you next year!" he replied, then left and caught up to his family. Elizabeth was left, mouth agape. She had never felt so furious and hurt in her entire life; and that included the time when her parents hadn't come to see her off.
"Um...Elizabeth? Is it time to leave?" Simone asked, afraid of the response. Elizabeth quickly shook her head and nodded. She took her baggage and the Hogwarts Cupid walked out of the airport looking sadder than she had in her entire life.
"Mum, Dad!" Rose called, as she set down her baggage and hugged them.
"Rosie!" Ron cried hugging her and spinning her around. Rose giggled. She turned to her mom and hugged her, whispering something in her ear in the process. Ron looked between the two girls. "Rose Margret Weasley...do you have something to tell me?" Ron asked in a threatening voice.
"Uh..." was all Rose could say. But the blush on her cheeks and the way she looked around the station was as good of a confession to Ron. He knelt down beside her.
"I'm extremely happy for you, sweetie," he whispered in her ear. Rose looked at her dad wide-eyed before hugging him tightly. Hugo jumped and attacked his sister from behind.
"Now Rosie really has a boyfriend!" he giggled. Surprisingly, Rose didn't look frustrated with him, but instead, had a sly smirk on her face.
"You know, Hugo, the Hogwarts teachers aren't going to allow that type of behavior. You'll get in serious trouble if you act like that." She reprimanded him. Hugo gasped and stood up straight.
"Oh no! I've got to practice all summer to be top in school!" he cried, already running ahead to the car. Rose stayed a few steps behind, where Scorpius was standing, waiting for his family.
"Hey," she simply said, holding her baggage and grinning.
"Hey," Scorpius replied breathlessly. The two simultaneously stepped forward and kissed a sweet kiss on the lips. They pulled away and Rose giggled.
"Well, see ya around this summer...Scorpy" she giggled then ran away.
"Oh you're going to pay for that Rose!" Scorpius teased than waved goodbye and she vanished into the setting sun.
THE END
