OH BABY {James Potter}

WOKEN UP

CHAPTER TWELVE: WOKEN UP

OCTOBER 1977 

Two days had passed since Florence had been cursed by Severus Snape. She was still unconscious in the infirmary. James Potter looked and acted like a walking zombie. The boy had barely slept a wink since Florence ended up in the infirmary.

James sat in the great hall with his three best friends. This fork danced along his plate as he played with his food rather than eating it.

"Come on Prongs, you need to eat" Sirius exclaimed nudging James in his side.

James rolled his eyes and continued to play with his food.

"I've never seen him this down" Peter loudly whispered into Remus' ear.

"He can hear you" James recited finally looking up to meet Peter in the eyes.

Sirius slapped James in his side. "Don't be a dick, he's just looking out for you".

Peter looked up at James with a scared look that flashed across his features. "So..." the Mousey boy started before being cut off by James.

"No, I'm sorry Peter. I know you are just being a friend" James apologised.

"Rem, was right. You do really like the girl huh" Sirius uttered as he grabbed his fourth piece of toast that morning and reached for the butter. James reached out and snatched the butter before Sirius could grab it.

"Remus said what?" he loudly whispered as he put the butter out of Sirius reach.

"You heard me Prongs. You like Florence, now give me the butter" Sirius urged as he stood up attempting to grab the butter out of James hand.

"Don't you start going on now about this idea of me liking her" James said as he held the butter up even higher. His obvious height playing advantage over Sirius.

"It's okay to like her Prongs. You are in a very unique situation with her. To be honest with you I would be surprised if you didn't catch feelings for the girl" Remus suggested barley taking his eyes off the book he was reading.

"I don't like her, I like... no not like I love Lily, I always have and I always will" James started to growl a bit to loud gaining the attention of his peers sitting near the group of four boys.

"Denying the truth does not change the facts my dear James" Sirius muttered moving his eyebrows up in a suggestive tone.

"Oh sod off" James grumbled as she threw the plate of butter at Sirius and stood up and left the great hall.

"Shhh Amara, you are so loud. You will bloody wake her up"

"That's exactly what I want"

"She needs all the rest she can get"

"She has had two days of resting"

"Ama, shhh she's waking up"

Florence fluttered her eyes as she recognised her two best friends voices. She opened her eyes to be blinded by the morning sun streaming through the infirmary windows. She turned her head to find Amara and Henry both with wide eyes sitting at her side. Before anyone could say anything Henry was already up shouting for Madame Pomfrey to come quickly.

"Oh Florence you are okay" Amara said as she let out a breath with relief for her best friend waking up."Do you remember what happened love" she asked Florence.
