"Moony, what are the chances of James living another day?" Sirius asked his eyes lingering on the boy who looked absolutely ridiculous still covered in a bit of glitter.

James glared at his best mates even though he knew that he deserved it, the skirt wasn't making him feel any more comfortable.

"Should have thought twice before saying stuff to her." Cameron glared at the bespectacled boy who looked down in shame. He wished he could punch the boy again.

"After you get fresh you will apologize to her James otherwise we are not letting you in the dorm until you say sorry," Remus demanded looking down at James, disappointment masking his face.

"Alright, I get it! I did wrong and I deserved this! I will apologize and surprisingly I have morals so thank you for your input and get out because I need to shower." James slammed the door at the marauder's faces Cameron snickered.

"What about us James? Don't want to shower together?" Sirius teased him banging on the bathroom door of the prefect's bathroom which Remus so gladly let him use. "Fuck off." was James' only reply.

The boy had showered three times already and the glitter said no to getting off his body making him look like a unicorn puked on him. "Oh fuck me," James muttered and went back to scrubbing the glitter of his body.

Thea's mind keeps on repeating the same events again and again. She was curled up in a ball looking at the fireplace with empty eyes. Thankfully it was past curfew and no one was in the common room giving some privacy to the crying girl.

Never in her fifteen years, she had ever seen James be so angry at her and lash out at her. She knew that the boy was just angry and he didn't mean the words, but words cut deeper than a knife.

"How about you fix your fucked up life and then decide to perfect mine!" Thea shut her ears with her hands as if they would help by keeping James' voice being muffled. Angry tears were streaming down her face her hands shaking slightly.

"You are so pathetic Dorothea so fucking pathetic! No wonder why you are single." She had no idea why James had said such harsh words she was just trying to help the poor boy by giving him comfort.

"Fuck you, you have ruined everything!" Her hands pressed harder on her ears trying to block his voice out. Thea wiped her tears away laughing bitterly scolding herself to not cry over a boy. "Crying over a boy Thea? thought you could have done better." She muttered to no one in particular.

Her head snapped towards the entrance she rolled her eyes when she saw James her gaze moving away from him and looked at the dancing flames.

James was ashamed of himself he sat beside her his head hung low. He had managed to get the glitter out and his hair was back to normal.

Thea thought the pink hair suited him and matched his newfound pompous personality. The pair sat in silence watching the flames with empty and regretful eyes.

James cleared his throat guilt eating him up "I am sorry, I am so terribly sorry Melody." he said his voice cracking. Thea didn't move her gaze fixed on the fireplace.

"I-I really don't know what had got into me I didn't mean what I said. I-I was just angry at myself, that Lily rejected me and then there is you Thea. Always putting yourself forward always helping me go through the pain but never alone. And I just snapped I am so sorry I didn't mean it."

James apologized tears streaming down his face.

In reality, James was confused about what was happening to him. One moment he was utterly smitten by Lily and the next he wanted nothing but to kiss Thea and tell her how beautiful she is and how amazing her voice is.

He had never felt so before and he didn't know what was happening to him. And when Thea hugged him it was like his insides snapped.

"I am so sorry Melody, I don't know what is happening to me and I am losing my goddamn mind." James confronted his eyes on Thea's frozen body. "Please forgive me Melody please I cannot bear to lose you. Please."

At hearing his pleas Thea softened she looked at the crying boy her eyes softening at his state. Her mind was spinning with ways she could decline the apology.

When seeing her hesitation James Potter knew he had fucked up badly.

She sighed shaking her head a bittersweet smile coating her lips. "W-why did you say all that stuff James? All I wanted to do was comfort you," she mumbled.

"I don't really know why. It's jut that lily always rejects me and then you come running to comfort me as if my saviour. And I never get to do the same for you Melody." James lied smoothly it was partly true but he was more afraid of what he was feeling toward her.

"Whenever I want to be the first one to comfort you there is always Cameron by your side. He is always there and that makes me feel like an asshole. We both are the best friend Thea ever since we were born. And not being the first one for you is making me insane."

His words touched her heart and James couldn't help but spill his feelings out. "I want to always be the first one to be there for you but somehow I am not. And it breaks my heart because you so selflessly always put me first. "

"I am afraid to loose you to someone else Thea." Her heart hammered in her chest was he confessing his love? "I can't let you be someone else's gi-." he cut himself off. "I cannot let you be someone else best friend. Aren't Jamie and Melody supposed to be against the whole world?" He covered his words still troubled in his mind.

Thea's heart broke a little but she smiled at him tears escaping the brown pools of her eyes.

"You are such an insufferable git James Potter," Thea said James agreed with her, a chuckle escaping her throat.

"You are utter bullshit." She snapped glaring at him.

The small hope inside James died as his gaze lowered mentally preparing himself to accept whatever was coming his way.

"But you are my utter bullshit friend. And I can't lose you either. No matter what it's you and me against the world. Always." Her voice cracked and he embraced her.

James was left fighting with his inner self to talk with her about his feelings lately. But he shunned them down waiting from them to go away.
