Pretty Little Bumble Bea /James Potter/ ❁book 1❁

Chapter 41

The train ride to king's cross station was rather amusing for Bea, she stayed with the boys for most of the trip but for just ten minutes she navigated her way through the train in order to find Bertie who was in a compartment with Lily and Vi. Bea was more than glad that Vi wasn't completely isolated and was thankful that Bertie and Lily weren't going to shut her out just because of how she felt about the Hufflepuff, she would much rather they ignore her than Vi, but they wouldn't do either.

She left when it became awkward and promised to see them on the train station and when she got back to the compartment, she was rather surprised to hear the loud, "finally!" erupt from Peter's lips.

"I didn't know it was possible for a boy to sulk so much in the space of ten minutes," Peter glared at James who merely glared back, but Bea found it rather adorable.

She was trying her best to find Bertie now that they were off the train and in the station but James was making that rather hard when he failed to let go of her, his arms wrapped around her tightly from behind and his lips pressing kisses to her neck whilst she laughed at him.

She hated the thought of saying goodbye to him, and although they had been together all day, exchanging kisses and enjoying each other's company, she wondered if that would just make it that little bit harder to let him go.

"James, I will come and find you in five minutes," she laughed softly, turning herself around in his arms, "we can have a proper goodbye but remember I'm going to see you soon anyway."

He leaned down to kiss her nose, a small smile tugging at his lips whilst she cupped his cheek, bringing him down for one last kiss, "I think we have well topped the record for how much I can kiss you in a day, and whilst it's not over yet we just have to put it on pose for ten minutes."

"Five minutes?"

"James!" she laughed, kissing his cheek quickly and turning away from him to push herself into the crowd of people around the platform.

It was always packed during their time back in London in order to get everyone home, and whilst she was very small, she still felt very clustered and packed in tightly as she squeaked out multiple 'excuse me!' and 'oh, sorry!' in passing multiple people trying to find Bertie.

She saw him saying goodbye to Violet not far away and stopped in her tracks just to watch. She didn't want to overstep or make Violet feel more uncomfortable and whilst she was more than upset that the girl hadn't even considered saying just goodbye, she still loved her more than life, and as much as she wanted to run over and hug her tightly, she stopped herself.

Her lips parted and her eyes held hurt when Violet lifted her eyes, connecting with Bea's for a moment that felt longer than it was, and although she wasn't ready to face the girl she was in love with, she forced a smile.

And it was enough.

Bertie turned when Violet's attention was from him, and managed to draw Bea's attention to him when he strolled over to her, a wide smile on his lips and soon was his arm slung around her shoulder, "oh Bea, you have no idea how much I'm going to miss you."

"I have a pretty good idea, Bert, you better visit me during summer or I'm going to be seriously offended!" she warned, wagging her finger in his face whilst he let out a loud laugh.

"Of course, I will, I don't think I could go a month without seeing my favourite girl," Bertie smirked, pulling her closer to him whilst she let out a laugh, wrapping her arms around him tightly.

"You are the biggest flirt, Bertie," she chuckled, "but I'm off limits...sorry about it."

"It's alright Bea, as much as you are incredibly beautiful and have a dazzling personality, I just don't swing that way," he tutted, seeing the amused smile on her lips.
