Chapter 18

"Y'know part of me wants to just grab you and kiss you whenever Remus is around just to piss him off," Bea rolled her eyes, her legs dangled off of a table in the classroom the two found themselves in more and more over the course of their time from getting together until now.

James couldn't help but chuckle at her bitterness, he hated having to leave her for two weeks but he was rather thankful that Sirius was staying behind with her, "I'll stay if you want."

"Hmm - oh no," she waved him off. Her eyes followed him around the room as he walked about, occasionally would she meet his eye from when he had been admiring her, "I don't want you thinking you have to stay here for me. Actually, I want you to go home and enjoy your time with your family, I know you're missing them, James and I'd never want you to drop everything for me."

"Yes, but I would," he whispered. His long fingers ran through his wild hair barely tamed atop of his head, a small smile pushing through the sadness of spending time apart from her.

"I know you would, and I'd drop everything for you and you know that," she laughed through her sadness, "but it's your family, it's your mum and dad."

"Who want to meet you," he smiled, "why don't you come home with me, bumble?"

She smiled at the name that seemed to flow from his lips, she wondered why she used to hate the nickname so much when now it made the butterflies swarm in her stomach knowing that her James spoke it, "I wouldn't like to intrude, James, and Sirius has already agreed to stay with me."

"But Sirius comes home anyway, nothing is completely official. I mean we could visit the town and we could have a proper bloody date and bloody hell Sirius is my brother, my parents are basically his. I'm pretty sure he's called my mum, mum on multiple occasions!" James was getting more and more excited by the second and she couldn't deny that it sounded lovely.

"A proper date, huh?" she smiled, her legs swinging. Her hands rested beside her but James moved to stand in front of her, intertwining each of their hands and slowly kissing her, "what would we do - nothing expensive, James, I know what you're like."

"I just want the best for my bumble," he said with a smile, and soon did he lean forward to connect their lips.

"What are your parents like?" she asked, "suppose they're lovely, but I'm curious to know."

"They're great." James grinned. There was a glint in his eye that made Bea's heart swell as he talked of his parents, the grin that erupted on his features was one of pure love as his parents entered his mind, "bloody hell they'd love you, too. They love Sirius, they'd be sad to know he's not coming home, but don't think I'm saying that to guilt you or anything, just that they love him like a son, s'all."

"That's adorable," she giggled, resting her forehead against his whilst his hands moved from hers and trailed up her body until they reached her waist, "so apart from Sirius, you're an only child then?"

"Oh yeah," James nodded, stealing a kiss whilst her laughter muffled, "mum couldn't get pregnant for ages so it took a while for me to pop out. Bloody oldest parents you'll ever meet, brilliant, though. They spoil me rotten, or that's what Sirius says anyway but he gets the same treatment. You will too.

Mums been going on about meeting you ever since I told her about my annoyingly cute herbology tutor way back months ago, didn't tell her you were Remus' sister though in case Remus found the letter." He watched her smile widen, her hands resting on his chest until she pulled him closer to him, her lips finding his slowly, softly and just for a moment, a perfect moment.

"So, you tell your mum everything then?" she whispered, her heart getting bigger and her feelings for him growing with every moment spent with him. she knew it could be a little rushed between them, but finding out new things about him just added to what she already liked about him.
