The Art Of Falling/ JAMES POTTER

19

     Cally was surprised to find the bouncing bulb in her dorm with completely different colors. It's previous petals were now laying on the soil and the bulb was standing there with newly bloomed yellow petals.

      "Wow I didn't know bouncing bulbs could change colors!" Dorcas startled her friend.

       "Neither did i." Cally answered her, her eyes still focused on the flower. She made a quick mental note to make a research about it later then went to bed. It was going to be a great semester she hoped.

      "Wake up Cal! You're gonna be late!" Alice shouted at her sleeping friend. Cally only covered herself more with her cover in response.

      Her friend sighed defeatedly to the act and pulled her covers completely. That made her shiver with the sudden cold and curse under her breath before complaining in a sleepy voice.

      "It's Saturday for Merlin's sake Alice. Just let me rest for one day." she begged her friend, still refusing to open her eyes.

      "Oh I'm totally okay with it. You can sleep as long as you want but i don't think Potter and Marls would be pleased with it." the Fortesque girl spoke her mind knowing that would get her friend out of bed.

      "Shit!" Cally jumped out of her bed as she ran to the closet. "Save me some breakfast if you can Alice." was the last thing her friend heard before she made her way to the bathroom.

      Alice laughed at her friend thinking silly girl. Then she left the room leaving Cally all by herself.

      Cally quickly dressed up in warm clothes. Brushed her teeth very carefully  "for no reason at all" o she had no time to make her hair look a little more tame.

      She entered the great hall and she was immediately met with people dressed up in four houses colors and loud noises. You could see some mascots then and there and an excited aura was filling the air.

     Cally walked to the table her friends were sitting at and hugged her friend before taking a seat among them "You've got it Marls!"

     "Don't disturb me i'm eating." her friend scolded her as she continued stuffing her mouth with eggs.

      "Oh don't disturb the beater while she's eating!" the gryffindor seeker called out to her. She laughed as she grabbed a sausage from Alice's plate.

      Just as she was about to take a bite out of her sausage, the gryffindor chaser caught her eye. She dropped her sausage and instead went for some orange juice.

       Cally tried to hide her red cheeks with her glass. Surprising herself with her own thoughts and feeling embarrassment rise up to her cheeks. What was she thinking.

      Still shocked by her own thoughts she  got distracted by the sudden movement around the table. The match was about to start and everyone was leaving for the field.

     "Don't embarrass us today guys!" Dorcas joked and Cally threw some words of encouragement. Just as everyone left the hall, two stayed behind.

     "Good luck for today's match." "You think i need luck?" the boy playfully pushed her.

      "Of course not. You're the best chaser Gryffindor -no Hogwarts- has ever seen after all." she went with the bit with a smile.

      "Thank you. A kiss would be great you know. For motivation." James put his head so close to Cally's it made her heart beat increase. She ruffled his hair with a soft laugh.

      "For motivation you say? Then how about this, you'll get a kiss only if you win. Is that motivating enough?" she asked the boy.

      "Oh absolutely!" James jumped with the greatest smile on his face. He quickly left a peck on the girl's cheek before running to keep up with his teammates.
