Rebecca Warren and The Third Wizarding War

Chapter 24: The Confession

Rebecca couldn't wait for Saturday. She wanted to take things off of her mind and a date would do just that- or at least she hoped it would. Albus seemed pleased about it. Sometimes they exchanged looks at one another in their classes.

Rebecca told her friends the next day when she seen them at lunchtime in the common room. Morgan was trying to get Andrew to stop studying.

"Finals are coming up, Morgan. You should be studying too you know."

"But Andy, it's a nice day and you don't get many of them." Morgan pleaded.

"And you don't get many tries at finals. In fact you only get one." Andrew stated.

Rebecca walked over to them and sat down on the table. Morgan looked up and smiled at her. "Rebecca! You want to go outside and hang out? I'm trying to convince Andy to come but he's got his nose stuck in a book."

"Well hot weather isn't my thing." Rebecca said honestly.

Morgan sighed. "Well, let's just walk or something in the hallways. I'm bored."

"If you're bored then do studying." Andrew called out from behind his book.

Morgan stuck her tongue out at him and turned to Rebecca. "So you're looking better today."

"Thanks." Rebecca said with a hint of nervousness in her tone. The idea of the date was getting her excited. "I got asked out yesterday."

"Really?" Morgan asked in shock. "I mean, thought you weren't into that?"

"She can still be asked out and not be into it." Andrew said putting his book down to look up at Rebecca. "But you look like you said yes to the person so I guess the first question is who?"

"Oh, it's Albus Potter." Rebecca beamed. Neither of her friends had something to say right off the bat. Rebecca thought it might surprise them. She tried to break the awkward silence. "You know. The boy who-"

"We know him." Morgan finally said. "But why him and why did you accept ? Not that I'm disapproving. He just..."

"I thought you two had an argument at the beginning of the year and you two exchanged words at that party?" Andrew asked.

Rebecca started to feel like she made a bad decision. Not in terms of the date, but in terms of telling her friends. "You make him sound terrible."

"Sorry, Becks." Morgan said. "Hey. If he makes you happy, that's good enough for me."

"Agreed." Andrew said. "The world could use more love. It is the best medicine."

Rebecca smiled and Morgan said under her breath, "If only you could give me some of that medicine." She turned to speak out loud to Rebecca. "Did you hear about Vanessa? She's supposed to be waking up soon."

"Really? Should I be worried?" Rebecca asked.

"If you want to see your boyfriend this Saturday you should be." Morgan teased.

Rebecca shook her head. "Where's Lucy? Is she still in the hospital wing?"

"No, she got discharged last night." Andrew said. "Maybe you can find her and talk to her about what happened between her and Vanessa."

"Yeah, I'll go talk to her. Or I could just go up to the wing and see what she has to say." Rebecca suggested.

"Bad idea." Morgan said. "Stetson will probably be there. Why don't you go check the girl's dorm to see if she's there?"

"Oh yeah. You know sometimes it's hard to remember she's in the same house as me." Rebecca said and then she left Morgan who went back to prodding Andrew about going outside.
