My Arrogant Pretty Boy - A James Sirius Potter Fanfiction

Chapter Ten: Back to School. Gosh, I Feel Old

When I say I limped onto the train, I mean I actually limped onto the train. My back was killing me and I think at some point of my "punishment," my mother hit my shoulder bone so that hurt like hell too. I couldn't even wave my wand with my left hand. And I'm a lefty.

I collapsed into an empty compartment face-first onto the plush chairs. I just couldn't walk anymore. My body was burning.

Suddenly, the door opened.

"Eva?" a voice meekly called.

I sighed in relief. "Ferret," I said, my voice sort of muffled.

He scoffed, closing the door. "I'm not a ferret," he mumbled, sitting across me.

I sat up and winced. "Sure," I responded, slouching a little. My back was still burning like fuck.

"Are you okay?" Scorp asked.

I snarled. "What do you think, Scorpius? Do I look okay?" I asked harshly.

Scorpius raised an eyebrow and frowned a bit. "No. Did your parents...you know...?" he asked tentatively.

I sighed as I could see a bit of fear in his grey eyes. Was I that scary? "I'm sorry, Scorp," I murmured, raking my hands through my hair. "It's just I'm-I kissed James during Christmas Break and-"

"YOU KISSED JAMES POTTER?!" Scorp screeched, his eyes wide and his mouth gaping.

I snarled. "Announce it to the whole world, would you! Anyways, that's not important. My mother and father basically found out and, literally, whipped me...basically," I whispered out the end. But Scorp heard it and frowned again.

"I'll heal it. Dad gave me some Essence of Dittany to give to you. Said he heard screams from your house," Scorp sighed,, rummaging in his bag before bringing out a bottle of Dittany.

"Thanks," I muttered, spraying it over my back and(with the help of Scorpius)wrapping my back with a cool cloth.

"It's nothing," Scorp muttered.

There was an awkward silence before it was broken.

"I'm sorry," Scorp blurted out.

I moved a stray curl from my face, my blue eyes confused. "Uh. What?" I said(so intelligent, I know).

Scorpius winced. "I'm sorry for laughing at you," he said sheepishly, looking at his shoes.

I was silent before smirking a little. "Well, what do you want me to say? Do you want me to apologize for calling you a ferret? Because that's never going to happen," I teased.

Scorpius' face literally lit up as he hurled himself(very sudden, might I add) at me.

"Oof!" I yelped as he crashed down on top of me.

Scorp buried his head in my shoulder and sniffed. "I missed you, bestie," he whispered.

I laughed slightly. "Gone soft when I wasn't there, Scorpy?" I mocked.

Scorpius laughed and climbed off of me, laying down on his back and snuggling closer to me.

I smiled at his antics. "What's happening between you and Lils?" I asked slyly, grinning slightly.

Scorp nervously laughed. "W-what are you ta-"

The compartment door banged open and in the doorway was a furious James Potter. "Auxatia!" he yelled.

I rolled my eyes, trying to ignore the butterflies in my stomach. "What do you want, Potter?" I snapped, slouching a little because of my back.

James' eyes snapped towards Scorpius. "Out, Malfoy," I ordered.

"But-" Scorpius started, his eyes defiant.

I pushed him to the door whispering, "Go to Lily."

With that, Scorpius jogged out the door and closed it behind him.

"What do you possibly want," I demanded, crossing my arms and then wincing.

"Why'd you-are you hurt?" James suddenly asked, his hazel eyes suddenly changing from anger to worry.

I chuckled. "What makes you say that? The fact that I'm slouching for the expression on my face?" I sarcastically muttered, wincing as my back throbbed.

James got up worriedly. "No, really. Are you hurt?" he asked again, striding over to me and rubbing my back.

I yelped in pain and doubled over, gritting my teeth. "You idiot!" I yelped. "My back is literally torn to shreds!" I yelled, trying to not cry.

James cursed at himself and gently stroked my hair. "Sorry," he apologized sheepishly.

I sighed as the apin wore down. "S'fine," I muttered. I turned to face him, and my heart(involuntarily) fluttered. And before I got any more brain cells or lost any more, I leaned in and flung my arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss.

But James reacted faster. He circled his arms around my waist and pulled me closer, responding sweetly.

I smiled as we broke apart and he nuzzled my neck, muttering something about pretty blondes being his weakness. 

Ahhhh. Shit. Oops, sorry? Not really.
