The other Potter boy

Romance

The first week flew by so fast that it gave Faith a headache! She slumped down in her seat at the back of the Divination classroom. Albus and Rose stumbled in 5 minutes later, both in fits of giggles. Albus blushed slightly as he wiped the  all too obvious lipstick print from the corner of his mouth. Rose slid onto the chair next to Faith.

"Don't you find it kind of weird that he's your cousin?" Faith asked as Rose gave Albus a flirtatious smile.

"I guess i never really thought of that." Rose replied. "Its not really any differant from kissing any other guy." Faith rolled her eyes. Rose must have made out with every guy in their year, including her own cousin, now. There was even a rumour that she'd started on the girls too now, but Faith new that wasn't true.

"If you say so."

"Look, Faith, I know i've had a lot of guys, but Albus is differant." Rose protested.

"Yeah coz he's your cousin!" Faith exclaimed rubbing her forehead.

"Hey are you ok? Proffessor!" Rose called their teacher, Firenze- who was a centaur, over.

"Yes miss Weasley?" Firenze asked, walking over.

"Faith doesn't look too good, i think she needs some air." Firenze placed his hand on Faith's forehead

"You have a slight temperature." He decided "I suggest you take this period off and go for a walk. Some fresh air will do you good."

"Yes Proffessor." Faith said standing up.

"Leave your bag, Rose can bring it to you later. I'll have her give you this lesson's assignement too." Firenze said, as Faith left.

Faith dawdled as she walked through the corridor, her head throbbing. She felt her knees go wobbly and next thing she knew she had collapsed. Instead of hitting the solid floor, the last thing she felt was falling into someones warm arms.

It was 10 minutes before she regained consiousness. As she opened her eyes she could see a pair of shimmering green eyes looking back at her, a stand of black hair fell across the boy's face. James.

"Hey." He whispered "You ok?" Faith groaned and sat up. "woah, careful." He said helping her get to her feet.

"Thanks." She scowled. Brushing her untidy hair off her face, Faith turned and began to walk out into the ground.

"Hey! Hey!" James called running after her. "Where you going?"

"To get some fresh air." Faith called back.

"Wait for me then." James panted as he caught up with her. "Seriuosly, i swear girls recover too fast!" Faith laughed as he took her hand, she held his for a second before pulling her hand away. "Whats wrong?" He asked. Faith sighed and sat down on the grass.

"I heard you were dating Sophie Finnigen." She admitted. James looked at his feet, then sat down next to her.

"Yeah, i was." He told her. "What happend this summer, I told myself to forget it. I told myself it would never work. You're my little brothers best friend!" He explained "Sophie was a distration, but when i saw the way you looked at me, the way you hated me, i knew i was wrong." He took her hand again and moved so he was in front of her. "I'm sorry Faith." he whispered. She looked at his face, pleading her forgiveness. Leaning in she pressed he mouth to his, his hand holding her head he lay her down on the grass. Lying on top of her he kissed her back until they heard lessons end.

"I better go." Faith blushed

"Yeah." James nodded "C'mon" he said taking her hand as they ran back to the castle together.
