Seriously Sirius

Chapter 8

After a few hours of hanging out with Rose, Madam Pomfrey asked me to leave so Rose could rest.

I still don't know why they are keeping her for so long. She was just knocked unconscious by some random chick in the corridor. I suppose she could have broken a bone from that fall. She did fall onto a stone flooring.

My worry consumed me like a tsunami. I didn't notice the world around me. Thus, running into a wall took me by surprise, let alone being caught by someone before I could hit the floor.

I stood up and turned around to thank the person who caught me. I was now facing a Ravenclaw boy. He was a couple inches taller than me. He had light brown hair and dark blue eyes.

"T-Thanks for uh, catching me there..." I let out a nervous giggle.

"I mean, if I didn't catch you, we would both probably be on the floor having a much more awkward conversation most likely," the boy said, scratching the back of his neck.

"My name is Emily by the way," I said awkwardly holding out a hand to shake.

He took it while saying, "Beckett."

I re-adjusted my t-shirt and started to walk away.

"See you around?" Beckett's voice got me to turn around.

"See you around," I replied before walking away. I blushed a bit. What? Don't judge! You would blush too if a cute guy caught you after running into a  wall... Ahem...

Moving on. Eventually, after running around for what felt like hours, I found Lily. I tapped her shoulder almost getting whipped in the face by her hair in the process. "Oh thank god! Where the heck have you been Lils? I have been looking for you EVERYWHERE," I yelled with a tone of relief.

"I was uh........ STUDYING in the library! Yeah, yeah I was studying," she replied sounding excruciatingly nervous.

"We're you studying with anyone? A BOY perhaps," I accused playfully.

"N-No! W-Why would you think that?" Her stuttering only proved my point.

I rolled my eyes while asking, "Lils, what were you actually doing this afternoon?"

She just shook her head violently. I started to giggle and she hung her head in shame.

I managed to get words through the giggles, barely, "Who?!" You could tell I already knew, but I wanted her to admit it not only to me, but herself as well.

Lily just snapped, "You know exactly who!" She had turned bright red. I found it hilarious as the giggles showed. Soon, my giggles turned into full dying-donkey laughs. Lily joined in with the laughter a bit.

"JILY IS MY OTP!!!!" I screamed loud enough for the everyone in the corridor to hear. Lily just looked at me. If looks could kill I would have died ten times over.

For once, Lily managed to look just a tiny bit intimidating. It was truly magical. I was so proud of my 'creation'. Though, I didn't have time to mention it before I had to run and escape certain death.
