15 » She's Attractive But Bitter
❝She's a backseat driver, a drama provider
An instant update of the world
She's a first class liar, a constant forgetter
She's attractive but bitter
Did you scream enough to make her cry
To turn around, turn around?
Baby, don't return to me
If you think that I'm not worth your time
She's a lady
And ladies shouldn't be messed with
She's a lady
And ladies shouldn't be messed with
Take off your shoes, come in the room
And baby let's try not to argue
Turn out the lights, turn on the radio
And how can we fight when I'm too busy loving you
I'm too busy loving you, I'm too busy loving you?
Did you scream enough to make her cry
To turn around, turn around?
Baby, don't return to me
If you think that I'm not worth your time
She's a lady
And ladies shouldn't be messed with
She's a lady
And ladies shouldn't be messed with❞
-Forever The Sickest Kids, She's A Lady
James was fast walking through the corridor and
he was in such a that Iris could hardly keep up with him. He twisted and turned until he spun towards her, eyes narrowed aggressively which contradicted his usual passive attitude towards supernatural accurances at the wizardry school.
"How do you know him?" James pleaded- sounding almost desperate as he rested his hands on Iris' shoulders.
"I-I...I..Don-" Iris stammered, looking confused at James as she tried to read why he was so desperate to find out.
"ANSWER ME!" He shrieked, forgetting everyone was asleep and shaking her shoulders. Iris' head snapped back and forth and back and forth until she could hardly stand it, getting dizzy.
"I-I don't know Jameson!" Iris wailed, tears now collecting and waterfalling down her face in a hot river.
James stared at his hands before he scrunched his eyebrows, running away from Iris as fast as he could.

Iris had spent the rest of the morning making an effort to make her face less puffy and horrifying. When she was done, she headed downstairs to the Great Hall in search for some pancakes and pumpkin juice.
What she didn't expect was to see the mystery boy from yesterday sitting at the Gryffindor table, smiling at the First Years and laughing like everything was normal. The boy looked at her, excusing himself from the boys he was talking to and walking up to Iris, a smug look on his face.
"Hello, love, I'm Thomas. You are?" He pulled his lips into a sly smile, looking at her before answering her question for her.
"Oh, you are Iris Teresa Evans...I definately know who you are. We had so much fun last time I saw you!" He snickered, smiling 'innocently' at her.
"When you last saw me?" Iris continued the banter, looking puzzled as she wracked her brain of memories.
"Oh yes, we had so much fun in my little dark dungeon. Although you didn't talk much besides begging for me to let you go.." Thomas recalled, shrugging like it was no big deal.
Iris felt a pull to him, although she didn't want anything to do with it she couldn't help but feel drawn to him. May it be his attractive features or his mysterious, dark, ways she still felt like she could just stare at his lips and kiss him all day.
She shook the distracting thoughts, smiling at him sarcastically before asking, "I never caught your last name? I think it only fair I know yours since you know mine." She batted her eyelashes, sensing James' eyes burning holes in the back of her head as she looked through the corner of her eye.
"Potter. Thomas Potter." Thomas grinned cheekily before turning and walking away leaving a very shocked Iris.
