Stuck In A Book |Harry Potter| Oc |

It's Not What You Think!

"Hey Mint." Tom said poking my cheek. I kept staring at the book in front of me. I kept on reading even as Tom continued poking my face. He stopped after a while and began reading over my shoulder, but after a while.

"Mint." Tom poked the tip of my nose. I didn't answer. "Mint." He groaned poking my face again. I still didn't answer. "Mint!" He grumbled. I closed my book and set it aside. "Finally." Tom said. Only for me to get another book and start reading that instead. "Oh for the love of Salazar." Tom said snatching my book away from me. "Listen to me." He ordered.

"Fine, say what you wanna say." I exclaimed.

"Thank you, so about the fight James and Aaron had earlier this week." Tom started.

"Don't worry about it."

"Aaron threw James out a window."

"It's always been that way. Ever since they first meet they've been beating each other up. The thing is they fight because something is wrong."

"Huh?"

"Okay, so when James starts the fights it's because Aaron isn't being brave, and when it's Aaron who starts the fight it's cause James is being closed off."

"And they do this why?"

"It the trait they like most about each other."

"So beat each other up."

"Well yeah, they also see each other as rivals." Tom stood there for a while his lips pressed together.

"Is that all?" He inquired. I nodded that's it, there nothing else. Well as far as I know. "Okay then, so why have you been reading about blood curses on top of everything else?" Tom asked setting my book back down in front of me.

"Call it a hunch." I explained returning to my book.

"That's it." He grumbled. I kept reading ignoring whatever it was that Tom was doing. After a while my legs started to fall asleep so clearly it was time to stop reading. I went to get up but my legs were to wobbly and I fell.

I just kinda of sat there on the floor wiggling my little legs so they'd wake up. After a bit I bother to look up and see Tom. My head was just barely was below his waist line. I'm shortish.

"Um why are you on the floor?" Tom asked looking down at me.

"My legs fell asleep and I fell." I looking at my legs. Legs are suppose to keep me up right.

"Oh what did I walk in on?" I looked up and saw James leaning on a bookcase grining.

"I fell." I explained.

James laughed "I can see that."

"James it's not what you think." Tom said glaring at James.

"I don't know it looks pretty wrong from this angle." James smirked.

"James the heck are you.....oh." Aaron said turning the corner. "You right, that....that don't look right, what happened?"

"I fell." I explained once again

"Um okay, do you want some help up?" Aaron asked.

"Yes please." I said throwing my arms in the air. Aaron came over, grabbed my arms and helped me up. "Thank you Aaron." I said my legs still a bit wobbly.

"No problem." He smiled and at that moment James literally kicked his butt.

"What was that for?" Aaron asked James without even looking at him.

"You were bent over for a time, I felt I had to." James grinned.

"And I'm out." Tom said vanishing. James burst into laughter and Aaron just stood there for a moment looking annoyed.

"Me and James have a special bonding project we have to do, cause Dumbledore somehow thought that it was a good idea, we'll talk to ya later." Aaron explained grabbing James's arm before dragging him away. I couldn't help but giggle.

"They're gonna get into so much trouble." Tom said appearing next to me.

"Oh most likely." I said returning my books to where they belonged.

"Let's never speak of that again." Tom said I tilted my head to one side.

"Talk about what exactly?" I asked.

"Exactly...the whole you falling and being only up to my waist." Tom explained.

"Okay." I said extremely confused. Why does it matter and why would be brought up again? Truly questions of the day. I looked at Tom. Yes I'm shorter then him but I don't think I should be called shorty. I'm just barely below his shoulders after all. I stood on my tippy toes for a minute just to compare. In short I'm smaller than him. He is three years older than me though so I'm not doing to bad at least. He's only taller cause he's older.

"Mint you're short." Tom grinned poking my cheek.

"I will bite your finger off." I mumbled.

"Go ahead, I dare you." Tom said pressing his thumb against my lips. I scrunched up my face before taking a step back and walking away. "That's what I thought." I heard Tom whisper behind me. Yes I'm shorter than him but at least I don't bite people.
