Pay Attention Jauregui! (Harry Potter!AU)

Chapter 8

If you'd asked Lauren Jauregui three weeks ago what her favourite thing in the whole world was, the answer would be simple...Quidditch, the same answer it had been for the past six years. If you asked her now however, she would have to really think hard before reluctantly admitting that Quidditch (although her dedication to her role as team Captain had in no way waned) was now the runner up to making out.

To be more accurate, making out with Camila Cabello, ever since their first kiss after Camila's unplanned cold bath in the lake, they hadn't been able to get enough of each other and when not in lessons they were rarely seen apart, even at dinner they ate with one hand now so they could keep hold of each other with their other.

It was incredibly sweet really...unless you were Normani Kordei, who could of course only take so much sweetness before she had to sour it a little, so to speak. She was reaching that point dangerously fast at the moment and she ground her teeth, ignoring Dinah's warning look and glaring at Camren as she now thought of them...seeing as one was never without the other.

Camila and Lauren were oblivious to the gnashing of teeth opposite them, lost in each others taste.

"For the love of Merlin's dimpled ass, will you two break for air before I douse you with something vile?!"

Fighting the liquid warmth that had her whole body pleasantly humming and alert, Lauren finally registered Normani's tone and with one last kiss to the swollen coconut flavoured lips of her girlfriend, she turned her gaze to Normani and blinking to get rid of the last of the lust haze she blushed slightly.

"Sorry Mani, guess I'm just...making up for lost time, plus she really is the best kisser."

Clapping her hands over her ears, Normani glared even more pointedly, so much so that Camila, who didn't know the dark girl as well as the others, actually cowered against Lauren slightly.

"I swear on every Galleon I own that if you try to share any intimate moments you and Gobby the house elf have had, I will smack you down like the hand of Dumbledore!"

The slightly bashful look Lauren had been wearing disappeared and she stood up abruptly, smacking her hands down with a resounding slap on the tabletop.

"I told you before Kordei, do not call her that!"

Smirking, the Slytherin crossed her arms over her chest and raised a disbelieving eyebrow.

"Oh, and why is that, because I doubt that teachers pet Lauren friggin Jauregui would risk being held in detention for brawling in front of witnesses, after all that could end up on your permanent record!"

Dinah recognised the signs of an impending brawl between the two and sighing, just moved out of the way and gestured for Camila to join her, with a concerned and frankly puzzled look the brunette walked to the Hufflepuff's side and watched warily as Normani also leant across the table until the two were almost nose to nose, expressions so fierce the few observers in the great hall were convinced they would see sparks.

Without taking her eyes off of what was occurring in front of her, Camila spoke quietly to Dinah, not wanting to ramp up the tension any more by being overheard.

"Why exactly aren't we stopping them Dinah? Do they do this often or something?"

Answering her new friend, Dinah sighed and shrugged slightly.

"They were friends long before I came along and they've always been like this, there's a lot of tension there and it can be quite primal."

At the brunette's alarmed look, the Hufflepuff rushed to explain.
