our last summer || James Potter

3. Sweet creature

Soph groaned into her pillow, feeling the depth of her headache. She drank way too much last night. Especially when she was meeting her grandparents in around 12 hours. 

Before she could get too comfortable in her bed, with warmth, a pillow went straight to her head. She decided to hide under her duvet, from the inevitable second shot, however it didn't soften the blow. Once it had hit her, in the head, again (why had she befriended a chaser?) she slowly peaked out from under the duvet, to see Taylor armed with her third pillow. 

"you bitch" Sophie croaked, feeling a small amount of sick in her mouth. 

"This is karma for hanging out with a guy all night", Taylor responded, making a shit excuse to bully her friend. 

"No fair, Alice was with frank all night"

"I did it to her as well" As if sensing her name, Alice entered the room with two vials of a disgusting looking potion. 

"Morning sleepyhead, drink this it will help" Alices mum being a healer was always helpful, as she often had a supply of hangover potions and other remedies. 

Sophie did as she was told, while sitting up and adjusting to the sight of the room. Taylor had begun packing for home, with clothes strewn across the room among school books and quills. Taylor was not an organised packer, compared to Alice, but was much better than Sophie, who would do anything to get out of packing. Unfortunately, she was forced to pack by her mother Alice, who had violent backup from Taylor. 

The hangover potion was absolutely disgusting, however worked like a charm, as she felt completely fine just second after taking it. Getting out of bed, she looked down to find her still wearing the exact same clothes as yesterday. Letting out a groan she went to bathroom and got ready. 

As she left the bathroom, ready for the day, she saw Alice packing the girls trunk. 

She ran right up to her and hugged her "I love you" she whispered, while kissing her on the cheek. 

"you're so dramatic" Alice giggled. Sophie began helping the girl, although let her take the lead, knowing she would do it 10 times better than her.

Sophie loved the last day of school, mainly because no one wore uniform and she could see how everyone wanted to dress. She found that a lot of someones personality can be seen through their fashion sense. 

The three girls walked into the great hall for a late breakfast, being almost the last there of the school. Although the main speech that Dumbledore made for the end of year was made the night before, he often liked to address the whole school again this morning, wishing them a good holidays. 

Soph dragged the other two girls to sit closer to the marauders than usual, in order to talk with Remus. As she walked into the hall, Remus looked up and gave her a dirty look making her laugh. 

"why do you look normal?" he asked before she had a chance to sit down. 

As an answer Sophie placed the extra hangover potion Alice had given her onto the table between the two. He looked at her puzzlingly, not understanding what it was. 

"Hangover potion" she explained simply.

"Oh my god, I love you" he said, kissing her cheek and downing the potion instantly. This motion did not go unnoticed by her two friends, who silently decided to question the girl about the two of them later on the train.

The other boys sat around him all looked completely dead. They all had their heads on the table, except for James, who was staring at Sophie. She caught his eye, however he quickly looked away towards Dumbledore, who luckily was beginning his speech.

The three girls had just sat down in their own compartment, when Taylor started harassing Sophie with questions about last night. 

"Nothing happened guys, Remus is just a friend"

"Bullshit, you two were so close to each other the entirety of last night" Taylor insisted.

"We're friends that's it. I'm not his type anyway" Sophie knew for a fact that she was not his type.

"what do you mean you're not his type. You're a stunning, kind and caring girl. What more could a guy want?" Taylor seemed very insistent on the subject.

"Thank you for the complement tay, but honestly me and remus are just friends. I don't like him that way either." This made the two girls shut up, Taylor still didn't understand why they weren't doing anything however for Alice it was beginning to click in her mind.

The rest of the train ride the girls gossiped about all sorts not keeping to a specific subject, however Sophie couldn't stop thinking about James and she didn't understand why.

As the train pulled to a stop Sophie realised how incredibly excited she was for the summer, and she couldn't wait to see her Grandfather. She spotted him as soon as she stepped of the train, however resisted the urge to run up to him as he was mid conversation with someone. 

Instead she turned to her two best friends, giving them both really big hugs and making them promise to write to her through the summer, specifically aiming that at taylor who always forgets to write. 

"I can't wait to see you guys at the end of the summer, it's going to be so much fun!" She promised. He two friends were going to visit her home in Greece for the last week of summer with her and she had a lot planned with them. "I'll write the details to you both, we'll send a port-key for you. Make sure you're on time for it Taylor" This made her roll her eyes, but they had a big group hug again, saying their final goodbye. 

She then ran to her grandfather, who was now waiting for her and gave him a big hug "I missed you" she said into his shoulder in greek, her native language. 

"What time do you call this?" he responded to her, looking down at his watch which wasn't there. 

"Oh shut up you were speaking to someone first" He rolled his eyes at he, having missed his mini me. "how is ya-ya? " 

"Missing you. But that is only because I get on her nerves easily" he said as they began to leave the station.

"not because she loves me" Sophie added sarcastically.

"don't be stupid, of course not" This made the girl laugh, as she hooped her arm in his and they walked across the station, towards their port-key taking them home.
