Chapter 19

"Oh, bloody he- you know what!" Bea grumbled, fishing into her pocket and angrily pulling out her wand. She was stopped in an empty hallway of the castle, her wand now pointed at the trunk she was previously talking to whilst she muttered the incantation that allowed the trunk to hover above the ground and follow her on her way out of the castle.

Today was the day that she would be going home to James' for the holidays and to say she was excited was an understatement. Her and Sirius found themselves planning each day and what they would be doing and Sirius was able to get her even more excited than she was before which she thought was impossible, he had planned many activities for the three of them, and James had even forced him to leave a day free so that he could take Bea on a date.

Sirius was not happy in the slightest but he grudgingly obliged.

James' parents were ecstatic to hear the news that Bea would be joining them, his mother had sent him three letters in the space of three days just to make sure she absolutely wanted to go and that she was definitely more than welcome, and that they were so excited to meet her.

Bea couldn't tell you what the fuzzy feeling in her stomach was but she loved it nonetheless, she felt a warmth in her heart whenever a new letter from the Potters arrived because all of them seemed to include a greeting to her and a countdown of excitement of her arrival, she couldn't say she didn't love it.

Her mother was rather upset when she had owl'd her to say she wouldn't be home for Christmas, though that was a given to Hope Lupin, what she was upset about was that her daughter felt so out of place in her own home that the only solace she was able to get was from her friend James, her new friend James who was also Remus' friend.

Bea and Remus were still talking though she knew it was strained from Violet evidently telling him that Bea had snapped, and whilst the pained look on both Violet and Remus' face hurt Bea whenever she passed them in the hall, she didn't let it affect her, instead she would ignore their eyes and walk on with either Bertie beside her or James whilst they pretended that they weren't going to the classroom in order to be with each other without worrying.

Bea didn't exactly know why she was still scared to tell Remus about her and James, she just wished that her brother wasn't so opposed to the idea of her with someone that made her happy. She didn't understand why someone that Remus knew so well was worse than someone he didn't know, in fact, Bea thought it would be better for Remus to be friends with who she ended up with, because at least he knew she was in good arms.

She knew that he didn't want her to grow up but in this instance, it seemed like he was the one that needed to grow up.

She waved at students she knew as she walked the halls, stopping to greet some people who were staying over Christmas and making sure she wished them a merry Christmas even from way across the hall whilst they shouted a quick 'you too!' before they would hurry off down the hall with a smile on their face much like the one Bea wore on her own lips.

She quickly spotted James when she left the castle, seeing him with his hair sweeping about in the wind and a wide grin on his face whilst he laughed with the boys. She was sure his grin widened when he saw her and the mere thought warmed her heart.

"Give up with your trunk then?" asked Sirius when she approached, a laugh soon tumbling from his lips when she glared at him and her trunk fell to the ground when she broke the spell.

"The stupid thing wouldn't do what I wanted!" she exclaimed, looking at James for help who was having a hard time restraining from holding her. It was so casual between them that having to stop himself from touching her or hugging her or kissing her felt like the worst thing he ever had to do, so much to the point that he hadn't heard her words.
