I was late to breakfast the next day. I threw my robe on as I ran out of my dorm to discover two people talking. I stopped in my tracks and it sounded like a guy and a girl, arguing. I tried not to eves drop, just keep walking, but it was too interesting.

"It's because you like someone else Uh?" The female voice asks.

"No it isn't I just don't want a relationship, you knew this from the start!" The guy snapped back.

Was this Lily and Louis?

"You think I wanted to get attached?" The girl asked. It went silent.

"Forget it." She says and then I hear the door close. I decided to make it look like I was just running down from my dorm so I adjusted my robe and turned the corner to see James sitting on the couch running his hands through his hair.

"James?" I stop at the end of the stairs.

He quickly turned around and relaxed his shoulders when he saw it was me. "Hey Cam." He says and then turns back towards the fireplace.

"Why are you late for breakfast?" I ask, approaching the couch.

"I, Uh, wasn't hungry." He mumbles.

"Alright then, I'll see you later." I say and head towards the door. 

"Can you hold up for a second?" He asks.  I turned around and walked back to the couch, "What's up?"

"There's this girl," He starts to say.  "Lulu?" I interrupt. 

"Yes Lulu." He sighs, "anyways, I think I like her, but I don't want to.  Like I don't want a girlfriend and I liked fucking around but I got like attached I guess? I mean clearly she has too but I feel awful every-time I hurt her."

"Why don't  you just tell her you like her?" I say, sitting on the arm of the couch next to him.

"Like I said, I don't want any more than someone to mess around with.  But something different then is happening now and I don't know anymore." He sighs again.

"Why don't you just be like fuck buddies but only with each Other? Like your not seeing each other but your not seeing anyone else. Right?"

His eyebrows moved up, "that sounds pretty good to be honest." He smiles. "Thanks Cam."  He kisses my forehead and gets off the couch towards the door, "come on."

I get up and we walk to breakfast together. I don't know the last time I had a full conversation with James but it was really nice. He asked about me and Draco and I wasn't sure how to answer it so I just left it at "it's complicated", which he respected and left it at that. 

We walked into the great hall together and caught a couple of people's attention but it's not like we were doing anything. As we took our seats I could feel a pair of eyes burning through me, but I didn't know who's.

Could of been Draco's, Louis's, or even Lulus.  The only person who didn't seem to care to notice was Cedric but only because he knows me and James would never happen.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." Peter says to me as I take a seat. 

"PETER." I yell as I stand back up to hug him after his long trip to USA was finally back.

"How was America?" I ask with a big smile. 

"Gross." He smiles back as we take out seats with me now sitting next to him. The whole breakfast I sat with Peter talking all about his trip and what's been going on that he misses. Of course I left out all the details that i couldn't discuss in public so I would tell him later.
