“Neither did I,” Andromeda joked, shaking her head. She sighed and nodded, rubbing the back of her neck a bit awkwardly. “I figured as much. I don’t know where she got the idea from that Ted was cheating on her with me, honestly. I guess because we’ve been talking …” she trailed off, and shrugged. Clearly everybody else knew the rest. “I’m not really mad at her, to be honest. I just wish she’d stop jumping on me.”
Andromeda let out a silent breath of relief when James changed the subject, dreading digging herself in any deeper of a rut with this mess than she was already in. “Afternoon,” she corrected with a smile, and shrugged. “I’ve been doing pretty well, actually. Woke up in a wonderful mood, to be honest,” she said, and she still was in a great mood. It was just a bit harder to enjoy the mood with everything that had happened earlier. But she’d sworn to herself that it wouldn’t get her down. She was going to enjoy every minute of every day if it killed her.
“How about you?” Andromeda asked, cocking her head. “Any luck with Miss Lily Evans?”
“Aye, she tends to do that. Gryffindor through and through, my Mary Mac, and a rather vocal one at that,” he grinned, rubbing the back of his neck. She corrected his time of day and he looked around, blinking at the brighter than usual sunlight.
“You’re right,” he nodded. “Usually I go for my run in the mornings, you see. I’m a little backwards since I slept in. It’s good to hear you’re doing well. As for me and Lily, well. We’re something. I don’t know what it is, but it’s good.”
It was nice to be able to tell someone that. He hadn’t mentioned it to anyone yet. And the idea that something good could have come out of this whole mess with Rodolphus Lestrange - it gave him hope. Even thinking about her, about the way she looked in his t-shirt, the way her lips felt on his, made him feel suddenly warm inside, and he couldn’t help the beatific grin that spread across his face at the thought.
