Andromeda laughed and shook her head, moving some flyaway strands of hair from her face. “I haven’t had much of a chance to get to know her, but I definitely won’t disagree with that,” she admitted amusedly, thinking once again of their earlier exchange. ‘Vocal’ was right. Andromeda hardly had to say anything to set Mary off on them - really, all she’d said was that she was feeling great - and everything had gone sour.
Whatever. It was over now, and although she doubted reconciliation was eminent, she hoped that at least things would calm between them. Hopefully James would drop her a good word, because she hardly wanted to spend her last bit of time at Hogwarts arguing with another girl.
Andromeda shrugged. “It happens,” she said. “I actually just did it not to long ago, to be honest. Said good morning at nine in the evening,” she admitted with a small laugh, shaking her head once more. “Anyway - I’m really glad to hear things are going well between you two. I knew they would sooner or later. Merlin, I think half the school was just wondering when it would happen, whereas the other half were wondering why you never gave up. Good thing you didn’t, though, right?”
“I’m pretty sure there’s a betting pool going on somewhere,” James laughed airily, “Maybe she and I should announce it over breakfast so the winners can collect their gold.”
He only knew that it existed byecause it had been started back in fourth year; as a show of solidarity, Peter had put a bet of ten galleons on the following Friday. James had refused to pay him back for what he lost. Sirius, on the other hand, claimed that he’d gone and put a bet on “never gonna happen”. That sod.
He gave a happy, self-satisfied little grin and rubbed his hhand backwards through his hair at the thought of all the people he’d proven wrong. He’d proven himself wrong. She’d proven him wrong, just when James had been this close to giving up entirely, and settling for friendship. Now, she was his girlfriend. James Potter and Lily Evans were in a relationship.
“I lied,” he said suddenly, beatific grin back on his face. “I know exactly what we are. We’re a couple. No point in not saying so. It is what it is, finally.”
