James Potter and the annoying Twin Sister

[ 4 ]

          "What's going on here?"

     James called from the top of the stairs. "I would've figured that you both would be up in bed by now. And what is this?" He said, his anger clearly rising. "Get you bloody arm off my sister!" he practically yelled as he grabbed Spencer's free arm and ripped him away from me, so they were standing straight up and glaring each other down. I stood up lightly.

"James Listen-"

"Josie, go on to bed please." He said through gritted teeth, his emerald green eyes not wavering from Spencer's brown orbs.

I pleaded. "But James-"

"Now." He seethed. I didn't want to make him even worse, so I quietly obliged and began to slowly walk the stairs. I stopped when I knew I couldn't be seen.

"Listen Mate I-"

"Save it! I've told you since second year she's off limits!"

"Lay off it James, you know too well she's one of Hogwarts finest-"

"Exactly! So it's my job to keep her safe and not hurt by any of the gits in this school, so keep your grubby little mitts off my sister!"

I was tired of hearing them bicker. They do this 9 times a week and I'm sick of it. I stomped over to my bed, most likely beginning to wake my dormmates and flopped into bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank god it's the weekend. I thought dreamily to myself as I stepped out of my 4 poster and onto the cold wooden floor. I rushed downstairs in my Gryffindor Quidditch t-shirt and my weirdly designed legging things, (they only went down to mid calf ?!?) and promptly jumped on everyone who happened to be on the couch at the time, giggling madly. Including James, Spencer, Ange, and Dom. Before I knew it, one of them was up and I was hanging over their shoulder like a sack. I didn't have to think twice about who it was. Still giggling madly, I pounded on his back, demanding to be released.

   "I'm warning you Mcglaggen, I may still be in my pajamas but I can still whoop your arse, put me down!" I said between fits of mad laughter.

He pulled me off of his shoulder and held me bridal style, and whispered in my ear,

"Not until you promise to go with me to Hogsmeade today?" Any laughing I was still doing ceased at his words.

Oh my Merlin. Did he really just...?

"Today?" I whispered back, noticing everyone else wasn't paying much attention anymore. My stomach aches again...

"Well, yea. I figured it could be our little secret?" He winked seductively.

How bad could it be?

"One rule," I whispered, "This gets back to James in a bad way, I'm never going out with you again."

"Deal." He said, dropping me in his previous spot on the couch.

"I'm starving. Who's up for breakfast?"
James called throughout the commons.

"No, I'm not very hungry." I said quietly, curling up into a ball on the couch. My stomach hurts.

"Come one Josie, you weren't hungry last night at dinner either. I'm starting to get worried about you." James said quietly to me as he rose up from the couch. "I'll be snatching some food in a napkin for you, and your going to eat it even if it's beans." ughh. I hate beans.

         Rose stepped over to me.
"James grab me something aswell, I'm gonna stay here and find out-" she paused, and I could tell she was looking for words that wouldn't make me feel bad. "-what's up with Josie." She finished.

After everyone was gone, Rose began to ask me questions, like if I had stomach pains, where, how long they'd been there, and when I ate last.

    "Josie, you need to go see Madame Pomfrey as soon as you can, ok?" She said in a gentle tone that still proclaimed her urgency. "I hope I'm wrong about what you've got."

   What I've got?

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I rushed down the hall towards the hospital wing in hopes to be in and out before breakfast ends. I was going out today, don't judge. The overly large doors swung open at my gentle shove and Madame Pomfrey looked up from a bed near the door, which sat a Ravenclaw who was puking his guts up into a bucket. The sight made me gag slightly.

    "Hold on a minute dear." She said quickly to me. After about 5 minutes, she was able to shove a pill down the poor boys throat that made him stop puking immediately. However, he began to sneeze. Nonstop.

    "Oh dear," She proclaimed as she jammed one after another pill into his mouth until he promptly passed out. She looked quite relieved.

     "Ahh." She smiled with a small sigh,
"What may I do for you Ms. Potter?"

   I managed a forced smile before explaining my little-um-issue. She asked me to seat myself on a hospital bed and to lay down as if I was going to sleep, and handed me a shiny purpley- pinkish potion that smelled of apples and cherries. I was asked to drink every drop. Doing so made me dizzied by the minute, until I realized I was going to pass out. I realized a little to late, however, as I plunged into the dark world of sleep.

       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      I awoke to Madame Pompfrey's light voice telling me to get up when I could, as the potion should be taking effect. My stomach has a dull ache that was ever so slightly and slowly subsiding. "Stomach issues, my dear?"

      "Yea, not too long ago it started. Why, might I ask?"

     "You had a stomach ulcer, my dear. I've already done the whole business of writing to your parents and such, so be expecting a return owl soon enough, dearie. You can be on your way, but be sure not to do to much rough-housing, or whatever you kids do these days."

      I looked at the clock, seeing that breakfast was well over. I rushed back to the common room, to find it empty except for the lower years. I dashed up to my dorm, put on my outfit, slapped on some makeup, and began the long and tedious walk down to Hogsmeade.

    I'm really sorry for the 2 day late update! Wattpad did some weird stunt and it made it look like someone had deleted my story. I had a mini freak out, and was all prepared to send out a sad note but low and behold here it is 😄 sorry for the wait!
