This is the problem with getting attached to someone. When they leave, you just feel lost

James was not having a good first week. Not at all. The first day back, Fred ended up getting all three of the boys in detention, which was absolute torture. James was certain McGonagall picked their detention based on what she knew they would hate. They spent three hours working for the she demon of the infirmary, Madam Pomfrey. The women made their lives a living hell, seeing as James and Fred (and occasionally Scorpius) ended up in Hospital Wing more than once a week, having injuries from things like Quidditch and pranks gone wrong. James's dad wasn't joking when he said she was a she demon. The women made Molly Weasley and Hermione Weasley seem as harmless as a kitten.
The second day, they had double potions with the Slytherins, which never ended well, especially with James, Fred and Scorpius in the same room, with all sorts of supplies to cause disasters with.
Third day, Trelawney predicted James's untimely, horrific death AGAIN.
Fourth day, was normal, for once.
Fifth day, they got yet ANOTHER detention. This time, they had it with Filch, who was almost as bad as Pomfrey.
And throughout the whole week, James had not seen or heard from Teddy.
James knew he was head boy and all, but you'd think he'd make time for his best friends. After all, he's missed out on three pranks already. It wasn't as fun to prank without Teddy giving them more useful ideas. And James missed Teddy. All throughout Hogwarts, James had had Teddy by his side, making sure he was okay, and doing well. But the last week, James realised, this is what next year will be like. Teddy will be starting Auror training, and will barely have any time to write. And this made James's chest ache. He didn't seen to realise it, but he was going to be lost without Teddy with him.
James barely noticed Scorpius and Fred staring at him in concern.
"James? Are you alright?" Scorpius murmured.
James looked up at his two best friends.
"What? Oh, I'm fine."
Fred shook his head.
"No you're not, Jaime. What's up?"
James sighed.
"Just thinking. Nothing serious at the moment."
Scorpius frowned.
"James, I know when you're lying. Whatever it is, it's bothering you. But of you're not ready to tell, fine. But remember, you can trust us. We're your best friends."
James smiled.
"It's not that. I know you're there for me, but I'm not even sure what exactly it is that is bothering me yet. But when I figure it out, I'll tell you two, so you can help."
Scorpius smiled.
"Now, it's the weekend. That means...pranking." Fred smirked.
