"I Hate Your Girlfriend." | Jeverus

Part 4

" Just the flu."

" The flu?" James asked and Madam Pomfrey nodded.

" Nothing an antibiotic can't fix."

" Antibiotic?" James turned to Severus and he shook his head.

" Its muggle medicine. Thank you Madam." Severus nodded and she turned around, bringing him a small paper cup with a white pill in it.

Severus took it silently, coughing as he gulped the water down.

" Good to see you two getting along." She mentioned and Severus just hummed.

" About time." She laughed and walked away to help another student who was doubled over throwing up...something.

" Are you busy after classes?" James asked and sat on the bed with him.

" No, i have the last two periods free."

" Perfect. Do you wanna come to quidditch practice with me?"

Severus furrowed his brows and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

" Why?"

" I don't know, it'd be fun to have my own cheerleader there."

" I'm not being your personal cheerleader." Severus chuckled and James frowned.

" But you'd be perfect for it. I can even get you pom poms." James whined and Severus rolled his eyes.

" You didn't even know what an antibiotic is, how do you know what a cheerleader is?"

" Remus' mom used to be a cheerleader in college. I thought it was interesting." He shrugged.

Severus smirked at the thought but it went away just as quick.

" I can stop by."

" No not stop by, i wanna see you in the stands."

" Why?"

" Because! I get bored."

" There's always a ton of girls cheering for you anyway." Severus took a sip of the water and James whined again.

" Yeah but i dont even know any of them. If you're cheering for me it might help my performance." He tugged at his arm and Severus groaned.

" What if my cold gets worse? Then its your fault." He pointed and James smiled.

" Dont worry I got that covered."

" Still don't get why you need me there. Don't you already have a personal cheerleader?" He asked and James genuinely looked confused.

" Who?"

Now Severus was confused.

" Your girlfriend? Mary?"

James made an 'o' face and nervously scratched his neck.

" Yeah about that. We broke up."

" What? When?"

" Like yesterday."

" Yesterday?!" Severus yelled and James nodded.

" Shouldn't you be like, mourning? Aren't you sad?" Severus asked and James sighed.

" Yeah I'm sad. I'm sooooo sad. So if i had my friend Severus there to watch me practice it might make me feel better." He leaned against him and Severus just closed his eyes.

" Are you seriously playing the breakup card."

" Please?"

Severus looked down at him and sighed. James is up to no good. But then again when was he ever not?
