James POV:

6 days.

Six days since I learned that my best friend is dating the girl I like. It's painful.

She's too perfect for me. She's beautiful, smart, funny, she's good at Quidditch, teachers favor her, she's popular but she will befriend less popular kids to make them feel appreciated. I can continue for hours but then I remember she's not mine and that pains the fuck out of me.

At the moment I sit at my bed staring at the wall, feeling numb. If only I hadn't ignored her, then I would have a chance. But no I'm furious with Fred. He saw the way I looked at her, I remember him saying to me 'dude stop staring at her, it's obvious you fancy her, so grow the balls to ask her out before anyone else does'. He knew, he knew and he fucking asked her out!

But no. That won't stop me. I'll never stop trying.

Before I know it I'm outside her room knocking at her door.

"Yes, Potter?" she asks. I take a minute to reply and just stare at her. She has her hair in a messy bun on the top of her head, with some straps falling to her face. She wears and oversized navy shirt with some black shorts. How is she so gorgeous?!

"Ehm right. I noticed we haven't really talked since we came back and I kinda missed you, you know. So I was wandering if you wanted to hang out in the common room just the two of us?" I ask

"Ok, that'd be great, I guess" she replies and she smiles. It's the first smile she gave me since we got back.

"Why didn't you spoke to me?" she asks while taking a sip of the firewhiskey bottle. Yes I do believe we're both drunk enough to tell the other everything the other wants to know and I'm afraid I might slip something that will give out my feelings, but at this moment I really couldn't care less. I'm cuddling with the girl I like, just the two of us, drinking, speaking. Everything's just so perfect at the moment.

"To be honest I really don't know. I think neither of us tried to speak to each other. Why didn't 𝘺𝘰𝘶 spoke to me?"

"I don't know James. I missed you, I always thought you were cool but I covered up with hatred not letting myself be civil with you after all that bullying these years."

"I'm sorry. I really am Aurora. Yes, I thought you were an annoying slimey nerd that everyone loved. The truth is that I was wrong. I couldn't have been more wrong. You're really awesome Rory."

"You're awesome too James. It's just the fact that sometimes you act like a git. You know, bringing girls everyday, not speaking, target people instead of doing a big prank on a lot of people. If only you stopped doing these, everyone would see how awesome you really are."

"I have an idea"

"Spit it out"

"Do you want to hang out every Friday? You know, just the two of us, like today. We can get to know each other more. I also really enjoy your company, but it's fine if you don't want to. I just thought it w-"

"Yes James. That's an wonderful idea. It's a thing from now on. The Scamotter Fridays" she replies.

"Great"

The rest of the night we joked, danced, sang, gossip Ed, watched a movie, played board games, laughed, baked. We even did face masks and took a couple of pictures. It was one of the best nights I had in a while. There wasn't any kiss or anything. It's just two teenagers having fun with each other. Not caring for anything else but the person in front of them. And I loved all of it.

Now, I watch her as she got asleep on my arms. She looks so peaceful. I feel my eyelids getting heavy and I start drifting to sleep. Everything about today was perfect.

Everything
