Welcome to Hoggy Warty!

[James Sirius Potter]

James smiled nervously at Vixen. Why wasn't she moving? She had been all for getting some alone time with Louis just a few seconds ago..."Yeah, go on. Get out of here!" he exclaimed, pretending to shoo them playfully with his hands.

He felt as if he was engaged in some sort of ocular faceoff with Louis. It was never wise to engage in arguments with European boys, you generally ended up getting bruised with a handbag. In an attempt to diffuse the tension and perhaps encourage them out the door, he held out his hand for Louis to shake. "Yeah, great meeting you man," James grinned, shaking his shaggy hair out of his eyes yet again.

[Louis Alexandre Dubois]

Why was Vixen staring at the boy like that?? It wasn't as if he had much to recommend him. His hair was too long and he was rather scrawny. What did a beauty like Vixen see[I] in him?? He was getting angry and if Vixen didn't stop staring at James, James would get punched.

He shook James' hand strongly. "Veryyy nize meeting youz sir. Let's go Vixen," he said, still quite angry.

(OCC: let's hope Vixen has some sense and leaves before the boys make a scene)

[Vixen Emma Brierley]

She couldn't take her eyes off of James. So this was it?? No words, no fighting, no reaction?! Why couldn't he react like a normal guy for once in his life! And of course he looked adorable. She really wanted to kiss him again but thought better of it...yet his lips looked as amazing as they had before. Just one little kiss? No! She had to control herself. He wasn't hers after all. She hesitated. Why was she still staring at him?? Louis looked as if he was about to beat James with that handbag he always carried around. He was handsome but was that enough for her? She forced herself to look at the ground.

[James Sirius Potter]

'Sir'? James tried to recall when and if anyone in his life had ever called him 'sir.'

Hrrrm....well there was that waiter. At that fancy Muggle restaurant they had gone to for Aunt Hermione's birthday. Upon taking James' order he had asked 'will that be all sir?', realizing his mistake as nearly all the kids at the table erupted in laughter. The waiter had even chuckled at himself in the spectacle that followed.

It was clear Louis didn't like him, thought he was like, an obstacle to Vixen or something. Well, she certainly wasn't doing anything to quell that impression, sitting like a stone.

Alright, it was time to act normal again. As Louis turned his back, James urgently mouthed to Vixen, as if it was any other day in the common room and he was giving her advice. Go with him! he mouthed to her, nodding his head subtly towards the door.

[Vixen Emma Brierley]

Sir?? Even Vixen had to smile. Had it been any other day and had Louis not been a part of a plan, Vixen would have laughed about it with James yet it wasn't any other day and Louis was part of a very important plan. What was James trying to mouth to her? It looked like "go with him". She would.....when James stopped acting like James and like a normal guy would if he was kissed by his best friend. Yet Louis looked so angry by this latest drama and she really needed him on her side if she was ever going to win the cocky but amazing James Potter.


Why? she mouthed back.

[James Sirius Potter]

James felt like throwing his hands up in frustration. Either Vixen wanted James to get punched out by a guy who probably was more used to slappy fights, which was very well likely, or she just was oblivious to the death glares that James had received from the french boy. Louis looked seriously stretched close to breaking point.

Because, he began, his eyebrows doing a little dance. I don't really want to get in a fight today.

[Vixen Emma Brierley]

Oh silly James. When would he understand how she felt?? Never because Vixen had reacted like she would normally....she had lashed out at him. Maybe she shouldn't have kissed him....but no he deserved to feel confused. She had been confused since the first time they had met. She remembered that day clearly. It had been the middle of her first year and she had been walking the grounds with Rose Weasley who had been her best friend ever since they had met and she saw someone by the lake...taking his clothes off. Who was daft enough to go swimming in that weather?? Well she would've if someone had dared her, yet this boy had been alone. She had asked Rose who he was and she was told that he was James Potter, the son of the famous Harry Potter. Rose had promised to introduce her to him that night at dinner. Vixen had been charmed by his silly grin from the first second they had met. For the next two years Vixen hadn't left his side. They did everything together...well almost everything. She felt normal with him around; like she didn't have to pretend or do something drastic to get his attention. He had been a loyal friend; always talking to her and making sure that she was having fun. Sure they had broken almost every school rule at one point but at least they had fun. Vixen had loved him from the time when she was 11 years old. He was her James, she felt. It had been admiration back then but now she wanted something more....something deeper yet Viola was his love. She felt the pain in her heart again. Why did she have to fall in love with him?? Hadn't the fate of the Tudor Wives taught her anything about loving men? When in love you only got hurt. She turned her head towards the door. Louis was standing there waiting for her and she should be happy that she got someone else so fast, but something felt wrong about the whole thing. Why did she have to be in love with the one guy that didn't love her back? She sighed at went to the door, leaving James behind.

[James Sirius Potter]

James sighed as he heard the door click shut behind the retreating forms of Louis and Vix, both in relief and long sufferance. Well good, he guessed. She was finally gone.

With the couch they had occupied vacant once more, James realized that he hadn't been breathing quite as normally as usual. He let a stream of air pass his lips, feeling quite dizzy.

Why did things have to be so effing difficult? After all, hadn't Vix always been his non-difficult friend? Why did she have to up and kiss him when he was dating a girl he loved? Was she trying to confuse him, it was very well likely. She and Rose could have been giggling and cackling in their dorm one night, and Rose might've dared Vixen to kiss James.

Lingering doubts planted in his mind about that, Rose would never dare someone else to kiss him when he was dating someone.

Well maybe she had conceived this plan completely on her own then, maybe once the week was up she would cry 'November Fools!" or whatever.

Feeling a little nauseous, he bit the head off another chocolate frog, chewing it carefully before swallowing. He was so tired. Curling up in the chair he pulled out his Divination dream chart. This was the homework that would require the least amount of thought on his part.
