somebody to love

" find me somebody to love. "

"Keira come help please!" Madame Pomfrey's voice echoed through the hospital wing to where Keira sat with Marlene, organising potions.

"Yes, Madame Pomfrey?" Keira rushed to her side.

"Can you dress Mr Potter's hand in a cast," The healer handed her the tray of supplies, "Remember to smooth down before putting another layer on top." She reminded before going to another patient. Keira stood bedside to the boy sat upright in Quidditch uniform. The boy being James Potter.

"I'm assuming this wasn't a good game?" Keira asked holding James' hand out palm facing the ceiling.

"Why wouldn't it be?" He asked confused.

"...You broke your hand." She stopped what she was doing, not understanding why he wouldn't think the game wasn't good.

"Eh, just a little injury." Keira hummed while layering the dressing, "I won by the way." He boasted to the girl to prove he was still good at Quidditch.

"Well congratulations." She focused on the cast-making process.

It was silent for a moment, just the bustling of the rest of the ward - it was always very busy after a Quidditch match. "You're Marlene's friend right?" He spoke again.

"Yeah, you know her?"

"We've been friends all our lives; we're neighbours."

"Ah, you're neighbour James." Keira smiled to herself.

"Neighbour James?"

"Yeah she's just told me some stories from holidays at home and you've been in them, I just called you Neighbour James, I didn't think it was you." She giggled.

"Good things I hope."

"Nothing bad but they're on the embarrassing side" He looked at her with an outraged but curious face, "Nope, not telling." They laughed together.

"So, you want to be a healer?" He asked.

"Actually no, I just find healing interesting, but I wanna specialise in Magical Law Enforcement." James hummed, telling Keira that he wanted to do either professional Quidditch or be and Auror. "Okay, done." Keira smiled down at the neatly made cast on the Potter's hand. Madame Pomfrey then checked it and congratulated Keira on doing it correctly before instructing her to go back and help Marlene with the potions again and James to come back after dinner to stay the night in the hospital wing.

Keira and Josie - her best friend since 1st year - sat at the Ravenclaw table in the Great Hall, Keira telling Josie about 'Holiday James' real identity. "So... Henry?" Keira sang teasing Josie, her cheeks immediately went pink.

"What about him?" Josie looked down at her plate smiling.

Keira gasped, "What do you mean 'what' when's your next date?!" Keira lightly smacked Josie's arm, the two teenagers giggling as they sat facing each other on the bench.

"Okay, okay! I'll tell you all about it," Keira clapped her hands in excitement, "When we get back to our dorm, I'm not telling you here for everyone here to hear."

"Oh no 'cause we don't want Dumbledore listening in." Keira held her finger up to her lips. The girls laughed as Josie got up from the bench pulling Keira's arm to pull her up.

"Just get up, K." The two girls left the Great Hall with theirs arms linked and a roll in Keira's hand.
