Jealousy Kills || James Potter

Summer 1, Chapter 3

Odetta looked horrible.

Hey eyes were still puffy from the next before, her hair  was tangled, from the lack of care for it when she fell asleep.

As well as her hair, she was spread all over the place in her bed.

The only thing missing from her new, wishful, day to say life, was that Sirius was missing.

Of course, this wasn't concerning because he's been gone for the past year and a half. However, now, it was even more concerning because he was here once more.

But sadly enough, she didn't care about his absence as much as you'd imagine she would. She was too hurt over James.

How could he yell at her for that?

Wasn't he supposed to be happy that Sirius was back?

Odetta gave up trying to find a reason to try to unincriminate herself.

She rolled over on her bed and laid on her back, puffy eyed, with a few hairs tickling her neck and face.

She laid there for five minutes, considering her options on what to do for the day.

Get up, get ready, be a bad bitch and act like nothing happened?

Or stay in bed, go back to sleep, and stay unbothered the rest of the day?

After the events of the night before, it wouldn't be hard to think that she chose the second option.

But she didn't.

Not did she pick the first.

She'd decided to just get up, take a shower, get ready, put on some light makeup to cover the few acne scars she had, and to brighten her face, and take a walk around town.

A day of doing nothing while doing something was her ideal day.

So after getting ready, she slipped on a pair of shoes, put a few pounds in her pocket, and left her house through her window.

It didn't take awhile to get to the city, as her house was relatively near all the shops and boutiques.

Once getting into town, she walked around for a good thirty minutes, admiring the beauty of her home.

Tea shops from over fifty years ago.

Clothing stores that had all the clothes for the newest trends, with flowy clothes that were easy to get lost in.

There were grocery stores, hair salons, restaurants, and so much more.

The town was also fairly decorated. There were lights all over the place, for some reason, and there were ads on billboards advertising the new movie that had just come out, "freaky Friday."

After taking a stroll, and welcoming her muggle life back into her every day life once again, she walked into her favorite tea shop. Teresa's Tastiest.

"Good morning, Teresa," Odetta called out as she walked in. "Good morning, Mandy," she called out to her friend, Teresa's daughter, as she sat down at a small table near the back.

After a few minutes of observing the café, she realized it had looked the exact same as when she'd come here two years ago, right before she left for Hogwarts for her fourth year.

A girl only two years younger than Odetta had ran up to her, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Good morning, Odetta. How's your day been today?" the girl asked.

"Mine.. it could've been better. Thank you for asking, though. How's yours been, Mandy?" she asked the girl.

"Mine has been pretty good, thank you." Mandy replied.
