pick up lines part 2 (james potter)

Ava breathed in the cool air, smelling fresh grass. She'd been trying to avoid James at every turn; she knew he'd tried to talk to her multiple times.

But if he asked her why she'd gotten so flustered over a pickup line, she didn't have an answer. She sat down near the Black Lake, under the shade of a tree.

Avoiding him hadn't been easy at all, considering he knew a lot of shortcuts around the school. Taking rest was exactly what she needed. She closed her eyes, when suddenly—

"Ava."

She startled and her stomach turned, feeling a sense of déjà vu. Why did he always appear at the most unwelcome times?!

"You've been avoiding me."

"Obviously."

She looked up to meet his eyes, and she saw that he'd been up to mischief again. She worried her lip between her teeth.

"Your eyes... what have you been doing?" Ava raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

"Can't tell. You're a Prefect after all." James winked. "But you must let me talk to you."

"I'm listening."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry the shitty jerks in the school have been giving you a hard time about... us." He was apologizing. That's all. And here Ava was, fearing he'd notice her behavior and interrogate her about it.

"It's okay. It was always there, anyways."

"So, we're good?" James smiled hopefully. Ava nodded. And his face had broken into a grin as bright as the sun. He sat himself next to her. "What're you doing?"

"Reading 'Little Women," she replied, picking up the book beside her.

"Never heard of it, but—"

"Hey, look at these love birds!" someone yelled. James stood up, in a fit of rage, but he was pulled back down by Ava before he could do anything.

"They're a waste of time, really," she muttered, letting go of the hem of his shirt. He glared at them as they stalked away. Ava felt as though he was contemplating choices. Then he turned to her and smiled.

"I forgot the second reason I wanted to see you. I read a poem the other day, that i wanted you to hear."

"Oooh, I love poems," she squealed. But something seemed off. He had that twinkle in his eyes again.

"Okay. Listen ...

'Roses are read

Lilies are white

If I stop flirting with you

Can we have a snogging session tonight?'"

He shot her a flirtatious smirk. Ava scowled.

"Oh my God, you motherfu—"

James took off before he heard the rest of her words.
