The Better Chaser; James Potter

Chapter 46- Late Night Confessions

After Remus and Sirius left my room I decided that it was finally time. 

No more avoiding this Reigna

I needed answers, clarifications. I don't know what I was expecting, but I know I needed to talk to him. I walked towards his room and knocked softly on the door,

"Potter? You up?" I asked,

I didn't hear a response so I slowly opened the door and I found him laying across his bed and just staring up at the ceiling,

"Hey, sorry- you didn't answer so I just-"I started,

"-came in," He interrupted abruptly, still looking up at the ceiling,

I took a deep breath to stop myself from going off on him. I had done absolutely nothing wrong and he was just trying to get on my nerves,

"What was that?" I asked bluntly,

"What was what?" He sat up and looked at me,

"That reaction, you just stormed off like a baby," I told him,

"You kissed Oliver!" He yelled,

"So?!" I yelled back, "And not that it's any of your business, but we barely kissed. If you had stayed in the room for two seconds longer without storming off, I would have told you that I pushed him away,"

"Why?" He asked,

"Why do you care so much? Aren't you too busy snogging Michelle?" I retorted angrily,

"Mich- what does Michelle have to do with all this?" He asked confused,

"Stop lying Potter, I heard you telling Sirius about your date for new years! Why else would I have gone to that stupid party?!" I blurted,

"What?!" He kept acting surprised,

"Don't play dumb, Remus heard it too!" I exclaimed, "If you can't even be mature about this I'm leaving," I turned around to leave,

"Wait!" Potter stopped me by grabbing my arm, "Why do you care who I go on dates with?" He asked,

"Why do you care who I kiss?" I retorted,

"I asked first," He smirked,

"Technically I did, you just never answered," I smirked back, "So why do you care who I kiss?" I repeated,

"I don't," He shrugged, clearly bluffing,

"Oh really?" I tested, "Guess I'll go to one of the boys for that new years kiss then- REMUS!" I yelled out the door,

"Oi- pipe down will you, you'll wake up the entire house," He grabbed me and closed the door behind me. He cast a quick silencing charm and turned to me. I noticed how close he got and took a step back but I hit the doorframe behind me. He smirked slightly at this,

"You're not kissing Remus, or Sirius, or Oliver for that matter," He told me,

"Why the fuck not? I'm not you're property am I? So we snog a few times, that doesn't mean I can't snog anyone else! We agreed that this was a benefits thing, and that clearly means no commitment. So why the fuck do you get pissed and throw a bloody tantrum anytime I talk to a boy?!" I ranted,

"You're the one trying to make me jealous by going to that party!" He defended,

"What?!" I defended,

"You said when you found out about Michelle, you decided to go to that dumb party!" He exclaimed,

"That doesn't mean anything! I didn't want to be alone for new years. Everyone had plans, why shouldn't I?" I explained,
