Chapter 27

"You're going to do great, you always do!" Bea reassured, patting James' shoulder as she sat next to him at the Gryffindor table, though he looked entirely unconvinced. He had managed to get it into his head that the Gryffindor's were going to lose to the Ravenclaw's in today's game and no matter how many anyone told him differently, he didn't seem to listen, "and no matter how you do, if you win or lose, you will still be a winner to me."

"Here we go," Sirius groaned, his head falling onto an amused looking Remus. As the taller boy learned to accept that talking to his sister about boys and their relationships was much better than getting defensive and protective, he was seeing how amusing it was that Bea was so head over heels, especially when James was the exact same.

It was easy to tease the two rather than to hate them together and Remus had made it his job in the last three weeks to tease the two of them with Peter, Sirius and Violet too. Violet and Remus where closer than they possibly where before, appreciating each other's company much more when they didn't have to pretend to be something they weren't.

Remus, though, felt terrible to accept James and Bea whilst knowing of Violet's love for the girl, but Violet made sure to remind him countlessly that she was okay and regardless of her feelings for Bea, she was happy, perfectly happy.

"Vi, you know how that girl Rosa," Bea suddenly spoke, reaching for James' hand and turning to her best friend who she was partially leaning on, "the one with the blonde hair?"

"Oh yeah. Slytherin?"

"That's the one! Well I was talking to her coming out of charms a few days ago and I think she likes you," Bea wiggled her eyebrows, "course I know you're still getting over your completely tragic and heart-breaking breakup, but I mean, she's a catch!"

"Are you my wing woman, Bea?" Violet giggled as she turned to the Hufflepuff.

"I could be, and I would make a great wing woman!" Bea exclaimed, "course you don't need anyone if you don't want, I know you like to have fun, though."

"I do." Violet agreed, "I'm just not sure if that's the type of fun I want to have right now."

"You know what's fun?" Bea grinned, "reading!"

"Oh merlin," Sirius whispered, shaking his head as he pinched the bridge of his nose, "I swear me and Violet are the only sane ones here! Peter think's pigging out on Honeydukes and playing chess on a Friday, a Friday, is the funnest thing. James could play quidditch for days if he wanted to, little and big Lupin just love to read! And then there's me and Vi who are the only bloody normal ones here!"

"Define normal?" Bea glared, "reading is really fun, and Vi loves to read too so your argument is invalid, Black. Maybe Remus will teach you about the wondrous ways of reading."

"Oh, and you can't?"

"Excuse me, Sirius Black, but I am a happily taken girl!" Bea exclaimed, over dramatically throwing her arms around James beside her who was too busy worrying about the game to listen to the five's conversation.

"Wha-" the boy cut himself off, slowly wrapping his arm around an amused looking Bea whilst the rest of their friends started to bicker about what fun really was.

"You're going to do amazing, James," she whispered, resting her hand on his cheek whilst he merely sighed, unsure if her words where true or not, "I can't convince you but I can promise you that as much as I'm not the most educated quidditch fan I know a good player when I see one, and merlin you're an excellent player! You could outplay everyone on all teams combined. No- you could take on an entire team by yourself and still come out the winner cause you're brilliant.
