Acacia's POV

Two days has passed and here I am getting dressed to meet my friends as if we didn't live together for months are are now about to reunite in a muggle café an hour away from here. I've never really been to one alone and James insisted on taking me but I told him I'd manage.

It's also good for him and Sirius to spend time alone together so that bloody wanker can stop pranking for once. I've been weary since he got here and I found out he was with Remus before he got here.

"Wear something ugly," James pouted and I turned to him with a frown. "You have to look ugly outside so no one will dare steal you away from me."

I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped past my lips, looking over my reflection in the mirror. "I'm not even wearing anything special. Just a jumper and trousers." I told him with a roll of my eyes but he only crossed his arms from my view of him in the full-length mirror.

"Not wearing anything special?" James frowned. "You look like a bloody Goddess in everything!" He exclaimed and I willed myself not to blush.

"Well, that's your opinion given as you're my boyfriend but not everyone will think that way." I sternly told him and finished putting my hair in a braid, it was messy and I still need practice but it looks good enough.

"You think I only find you attractive 'cause we're together?" James asked incredulously.

I opted not to answer him and thanked the heavens when Sirius entered James' room with a wide grin. "She's finally leaving?"

"You make it sound like you hate me." I told him with a smirk and he returned it.

"Gonna go meet up with your snake friends?" Sirius asked and I chuckled at that. "Merlin, you've only been away from each for a few days."

"Says the one who went straight to Remus' house after leaving the castle and then being eager to finally have his best friend alone."

Sirius kept quiet after that while I grabbed a few things I would need on my trip outside and kissed James on the cheeks. "I better get going now, Thalia isn't a very patient person." I told him but he held onto my elbow before I could walk away.

Before I got to question what he wanted, he locked his lips with mine and I was left with little to no choice- but to respond. I heard Sirius whistle from the doorway and I lightly pushed James to pull away.

"See you boys later, or never again if Thalia convinces me well enough to run away." I joked and Sirius laughed while James stood there looking at me like a lost child, I held my laughter in as I walked past Sirius to exit the bedroom and the Manor.

***

The day I spent with the girls were quite uneventful, we just talked while drinking muggle beverages and gossiped about the latest findings of Clara, Thalia also went on and on about her being selected as prefect and how it must be wrong but we all congratulated her.

I believe she deserved that position and as much as I love the other two, I doubt we can perform well as Prefects. Addy is too soft, she would gladly turn a blind eye on first years getting into trouble because she's fond of kids, Clara is too. . .how do I put this?

Clara is a bit much, she's quite eccentric and gets herself into trouble as much as the Marauders because of her thirst for gossip and information. Meanwhile I have the great James Potter for a boyfriend.

Dumbledore also probably figured that I have a lot on my plate.

I assumed James and Sirius went to Remus' when I went back to the manor to find it empty. I took the time alone to bring out my journal and look through my list, I find it quite funny how I wrote this without really intending to finish it but here I am crossing off a few I forget I even wrote down.

Things I wanted to do but didn't :

-̶ ̶M̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶s̶ ̶

I smile to myself as the images of my smiling friends appear in my head, I'm really glad to have met them and I will forever chrish every moment I spent with them. 

-̶ ̶E̶x̶c̶e̶l̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶c̶l̶a̶s̶s̶e̶s̶

I never got to show off my talent in certain classes before, I was always told to not do too bad or too well, I was just supposed to lead an ordinary life and be the perfect daughter.

-̶ ̶S̶n̶e̶a̶k̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶a̶f̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶c̶u̶r̶f̶e̶w̶

-̶ ̶G̶o̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶c̶e̶ ̶f̶u̶l̶l̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶M̶u̶g̶g̶l̶e̶s̶

-̶ ̶G̶o̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶H̶o̶g̶s̶m̶e̶a̶d̶e̶

-̶ ̶D̶r̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶B̶u̶t̶t̶e̶r̶b̶e̶e̶r̶

-̶ ̶G̶o̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶a̶ ̶d̶a̶t̶e̶

I bit my lower lip, fighting back the smile as I look behind me to see the clean bed that smelled a lot like James as I recall the days we spent alone together, they may not be official dates but I can treat them as such.

-̶ ̶T̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶w̶i̶m̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶l̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶l̶a̶k̶e̶

Technically, I fell and almost drowned but James luckily saved me- 

- Take a stroll on the forbidden forest
on a full moon

- Pull a prank

-̶ ̶H̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶n̶o̶w̶b̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶f̶i̶g̶h̶t̶

-̶ ̶R̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶M̶u̶g̶g̶l̶e̶ ̶B̶o̶o̶k̶s̶

- Go to a beach

-̶ ̶H̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶a̶t̶

-̶ ̶H̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶b̶o̶w̶

-̶ ̶P̶u̶n̶c̶h̶ ̶M̶a̶l̶f̶o̶y̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶a̶c̶e̶

This one felt the most satisfying to cross out. I would've loved to punch Draco Malfoy in the face too but he sadly isn't born yet. Who knows? I might visit the Malfoy manor one day and punch baby Draco in the face?

-̶ ̶N̶o̶t̶ ̶s̶t̶a̶y̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶H̶o̶g̶w̶a̶r̶t̶s̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶h̶o̶l̶i̶d̶a̶y̶s̶

-̶ ̶B̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶p̶a̶r̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶S̶l̶u̶g̶ ̶C̶l̶u̶b̶

- Pursue Arts

- Learn more about Muggles

-̶ ̶H̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ ̶k̶i̶s̶s̶.̶

Reading through the pages of my entries, it's evident how confused and conflicted I was the past few months but I gladly followed my heart. I just hope it is in the right place as Dumbledore told me.
