bad idea

" I got a bad idea. Forget about it, forget about him, forget about me. "

Time passed after that, Hogwarts' grounds were covered in a thick layer of snow with it already being December. Keira and James had become even closer, her feelings growing for him everyday and so were his for her. Despite this, Keira was going on yet another date with David, they had already gone on two more after their first one. Keira did like him, he was sweet, respectful, and she really got along with him, but James was always in the back of her mind when she was with him, like a little hum that's quiet but still so loud.

David and Keira laid in his bed, the latter hovering over the other, the only noise was the sweet song played from the other side of the room on a record player and the two Ravenclaw's pants for air. Their hands travelled each others bodies in perfect choreography, their hearts beating to the same rhythm.

The two came to a great crescendo before laying in each other's arms, sweat beads decorating each other's foreheads. The two enjoyed the moment of harmony, the pounding of their hearts, and the calmness covering the room of not needing to say anything but breathe in the sweetness of the moment. They stayed laid there for a while longer until Keira dashed out the door her tie askew to attend her prefects meeting and night duty.

Once she got there, she sat next to James who smiled seeing her. The meeting was quick and simple, they all got into pairs, James and Keira going together to go on their walk around the castle corridors. The topic of Divination; fake or real? Was being discussed between the two.

"By the way your tie isn't on right." James stopped Keira from walking and fixed her tie, she could feel his warm breath on her forehead as he craned his neck to focus on retying it in the dim lighting of a hallway. The air was awkward once James saw the hidden mark on Keira's neck, clearing her throat after he was done thanking him, he studied her.

"You and Thompson getting serious then?" He asked curiously.

"I dunno, he's nice and all but we aren't dating." Keira shrugged her shoulders.

"You've been on like four dates and clearly gotten comfortable with each other. What's stopping you?"

"I know but I just don't know if I like him enough to properly date him, anyway what happens next year when he goes off and I'm still stuck here?"

"You like him properly enough to shag him." James grinned mischievously at her, she smacked his shoulder in response.

"It's not like I have to marry him if I sleep with him, I'm just taking it step by step, if we date we date, if we don't we don't I'm not gonna get fussed over it." She assured mainly herself than James, "Can we talk about something else now."

"Actually, my parents are throwing their annual New Year's party, I'm gonna invite the whole group, you coming?"

"Wow I don't know James, meeting the parents already? It hasn't been that long-"

"Oh but Keira I was going to propose!" James put on their usual joking voice they do with each other.

"Darling James I could not accept when I've been having an affair." James gasped dramatically making the two burst out laughing.

"Seriously are you coming?" He asked after they calmed down.

"Course I am Jamie!" Her smile gleamed as she put her arm around his waist, him putting his over her shoulders. James felt a tingling when he felt her arms around him, he suddenly got nervous from the contact, distracting him from the sight of Keira's cheeks warm up to a pink colour.
