Chapter 128

"I made a mistake, I made a terrible mistake!" Gully groaned as he fell into the seat across from Adria and beside Blair. In a best attempt to give James and Lily some time on their own, Adria lifted the charm on the girl's dormitory for him, and now her knew study partner was the Ravenclaw across from her.

They had been studying for their exams coming up in June, and couldn't help but feel terribly stressed even though it was April, it was still a worrying time, and of course, there is the interruption from none other than Gully who had already met all of Adria's friends, and all of which loved the boys humour, and decided that he was a new member of their friendship group.

But Adria had already decided that before.

"What mistake?" asked Adria, her eyebrow raised and an amused smirk on her lips as she looked at the boy, it was very surprising to see Gully so exasperated, seeing as the boy was a lot more chilled out most days, but it seemed to be whole other story as he sat in the library, blatantly ignoring the glare he has received from the librarian as his head fell into his hands.

"Y'know how last week you told me I should try and talk to more people?" asked Gully, finally lifting his head and resembling an innocent puppy with the look he gave the two girls, who of which nodded, "well I tried to do that, it didn't work out very well."

"Gully, you're gonna have to elaborate on that one," Adria chuckled, setting down her pen and giving the boy her full attention.

"There's this girl, since last year, that I've liked, y'know that way and well, I thought, well go big or go home, right? So I tried to talk to her-" he cut himself off with a groan, as though the realisation of what he had just done had come back to him vividly, "It was so embarrassing!"

"I'm sure it wasn't that bad, Gull," Blair sighed, patting the boy's shoulder reassuringly with a sympathetic smile on her lips.

"Easy for you to say, you have a boyfriend!" Gully exclaimed, knowing full well that Remus wasn't officially her boyfriend, and whilst she knew that, the blush couldn't help but creep its way onto her cheeks as she shook her head.

"Not technically," she mumbled quietly, shrugging her shoulders, she knew that she could ask Remus to be her boyfriend, and nothing was stopping her, but she wanted him to ask her solely so she knew officially that he certainly liked her, and whilst it was obvious that he did, and obvious that she liked him, they both just didn't know what to say.

"Well, it seems like it, anyway," Gully grumbled, his eyes meeting an amused Adria across the table, and soon did his eyes narrow at his - equally sarcastic - friend, her head tilted and her chin resting on her fist.

"I'd like to know what happened," she smirked, tapping her fingers on the wooden table under her as she awaited his words.

"Well, I went up to her, she was with her friends, how stupid could I be?!" he exclaimed, "she's a Slytherin, she has friends in other houses though, particularly Hufflepuff, and well, she laughed at me," he mumbled quietly.

"She what?!" Adria gasped, her eyes wide.

"Now wait a minute," Blair stopped the two, holding her hand up, "maybe she was just shy, y'know, because she was in front of her friends, they were bound to tease her so maybe she was just a little embarrassed, maybe because she likes you, too?!"

"I doubt it, I mean," Gully gestured to himself, "look at me."

"What?!" Adria exclaimed, "you're handsome, Gully, any girl would be lucky to have you!" she huffed, watching Blair nod her head furiously at the boy.
