Chapter 2

"So, you're friends with James Potter now, yeah?" asked Caden as he sat in the library with Nora, watching her head lift and her eyebrow raise.

"What, no, why?"

"I saw you with him, you both looked pretty happy," Caden commented, dipping his quill into the ink bottle on the table near him, "weird, is all."

"I suppose we are acquaintances," Nora spoke, shrugging her shoulders, "nothing else."

"Do you know, the weirdest thing happened to me today," Caden sighed, shaking his head as he ran a hand through his hair, "I was walking down the hall with Lily, and then this deer just ran at me, a deer, in Hogwarts, just ran right at me, I had to jump into the wall, it was bloody terrifying!"

"A deer?" Nora repeated, gnawing at her bottom lip to keep the amused smile off of her lips, James said that he was going to deal with the prank, seeing as he had an idea, but Nora had no idea how the boy managed to get a deer, and how he managed to control it to charge at Caden, "that's pretty hilarious."

"More like pretty dangerous," Caden scoffed, "Lily comforted me afterwards, if you know what I mean, made it all worth it, really," he winked, wiggling his eyebrows as he watched Nora's expression turn to one of disgust.

"You are terrible," Nora commented, shaking her head as she packed her things away, "honestly, Caden, keep that to yourself."

"You love me really," Caden laughed, "you can't deny that you need someone, Nora."

"I do not," she huffed, rolling her eyes, "please, Caden, I am perfectly happy on my own."

"Yes, you look it," he teased, "you've been different, lately, what about James, he's not bad?"

"Well, Caden, if you think that, I'd be perfectly happy to set the two of you up," Nora smirked, watching Caden scoff.

"Well maybe you two could be more than acquaintances, is all I'm saying," Caden shrugged, sending her a wink, "he's Adria's best friend, I could talk to her for you."

"No, please, don't, Caden," she shook her head furiously, "really, if I want someone then I'd rather find them myself."

"Suit yourself," Caden chuckled, "but I think you'll be the only single one of our group soon," he smirked, the smirk that could make Nora go weak at her knees.

"Meaning?"

"Meaning that our little Aubrey is growing up," he grinned, "saw her talking to some Gryffindor girl, blushing and everything."

"Aubrey doesn't blush," Nora shook her head, her eyes narrowed as she watched him nod.

"I'm sure, Nora, she likes someone, who would've thought that Aubrey Martin would have someone before you," she glared at him as she stood.

"Who would've known your new friends could make you so rude," she snapped, grabbing her bag and watching him sit up, a frown on his lips as he stared at her, shock mixing with the brown of his eyes.

"Nora- wait, where are you going?!" he exclaimed, seeing her sandy brown hair flip over her shoulders as she stomped out of the library.

"Shh!" the librarian huffed, louder than he was as she sent him a hard glare, and soon did his head duck, and his eyes trail back to his books.

Nora stomped down the hallway, she wasn't sure why she was so mad at Caden, it was sudden, and completely unexpected and she was sure a part of her was irritated with the way he talked about how she needed someone when all she wanted was him, but the other part of her was annoyed that Aubrey hadn't told her of this mystery girl, they were best friends, she thought that Aubrey told her everything, but she would never had known if it not for Caden telling her.
