Chapter 14: She Makes You Realize Stuff, Doesn't She?
James P.O.V.
I wasthe first to read the note. And the last line... It touched my heart.
Sky looked so beautiful today- and everyday.
A tear formed in my eyes, and Al wondered, "Why are you crying?" I snapped back at him, "Because, well, I don't know, my best friend just was I don't know, verbally- sexually harassed, humiliated, and parents there had their wands out! They said if she came any closer, they'd kill her!"
I cried, and Al patted my back, trying to be brotherly.
"you like her like that don't you?" "no... No!" I blushed. "then how come you called her beautiful, she called you handsome, and then earlier today, I saw it."
I paled.
"no. No, Al. You didn't!" he smirked. "Teddy, Louis, Fred, Rosie, Lily, Hugo, and I did."
Shit.
FLASHBACK:
After the funeral, I caught up with Sky. She had some tears.
"sorry. You know, he's like a grandpa to me, and our grandmum is like a grandma, and your parents are like my god parents." I hugged her. She had a tear leak, and I was shocked.
Sky.... Crying?
This is a first.
"My mom, I went to her funeral. I didn't cry, because I just couldn't. It was short and awkward and bittersweet. And then my moms boyfriend came. I hated him. He hated me. And well, he and my mom.. Perfect for eachother, personality wise. He cried, I didn't. He thought I was mental." she lightly laughed.
"probably am. And, well, I didnt even say a thing as I saw her dead body. She wasn't there. And I never knew her. She never really got me presents, until my eleventh birthday. And I.... I lived by myself. I went from boarding school to boarding school, not even having a safe place. But I would give anything for something. A family. I have a huge one at camp, yea, but it's like, I know a few of them, then whatever. And then..."
She smiled.
"there's the Potters and the Weasleys. Who are my family through and through. And then there's him."
My face fell. "who is he?" she laughed, and smiled.
"well, his name is... James Sirius Potter."
I smiled, and she smiled. Next thing I know?
I'm thirteen, and she's turning thirteen in a few weeks. So, she's, you know, my age. Well, no dip!shes in my grade! Face palm..
We're both, with closed eyes, leaning in. Her lips and my lips brushed softly against eachother. Sparks came. We just kissed for a minute, and let go. She smiled.
"now you know how I feel about you." she strutted off.
PRESENT DAY:
I blushed.
"little man, it was so.... So... Beautiful!" Teddy said, attempting to embarass me. He already won that trophy. A long, long time ago.
"OhmygodsJamesyouhadyourfirstkissohmygodsandyoulikehershelikesyouohmygodsyoutwoareinloveandohmygodsdidyoufeelsparksyoumustofsinceyouandherkissedforaminute!" Lily and Rosie giggled.
"JAMES IS IN LOVE! HE HAD HIS FIRST KISS!" "it wasn't my first kiss! I accidently bumped into her last year and our lips met and we didn't pull away!"
Mum, dad, Hermione and Ron came in.
"Kiss? Who kissed you?" "she and him kissed, and they felt sparks! And they just kissed for a minute!"
"who was it?" mum and Hermione asked, acting and giggling like teenage girls.
"Well, she just called me handsome, in this note. And she just got threatened by a bunch of scared wizard parents. And she stormed off. Her trunks gone. Said shed see me at school. She got there- apparated. Amazing, isn't she?"
"wait, who?" Ron and dad asked.
I blushed, and smally said, "her names..." I stated, bravely:
"Skylar Alana Pandora Smith." "She won't like it if you call her Skylar!" Fred teased.
"You won't like it either, Fred, when you see Miss Smith here use underage sorcery by apparating."
McGonagall pulled Sky in by the ear. "Hey, Minnie! What's happening? Filch got you down?" Minnie chuckled. "I won't say anything to the Ministry, basically, because that was Shadow Traveling.. Doesn't count, you are lucky."
Sky smiled. "Hey, sorry about running off, it's just sometimes people like those gits make me so mad." "wait until you find out-" I murmured.
"that my Uncle Percy pulled out his wand at you." I told her. Her face fell. "just another bitch, right? Always those people. I could give you a whole list!" dad smiled. "you and me both."
A man in a wheelchair rolled through the fireplace. How the hell....?
Sky's P.O.V.
A man rolled a wheelchair through the fireplace. I'm not gonna ask how he did that.
"Skylar Alana Pandora Smith what have I told you about shadow traveling?" shit. Chirons yelling at me.
"Sky, actually. My stupid mother gave me the stupid name Skylar, with a huge pun." Chiron chuckled. At the pun part, I mean.
"you've told me numerous of times that I can't do it until I'm thirteen, and that long distances isn't good to a twelve or thirteen year old. And my strength could weaken. I could collapse. And holding heavy objects while traveling might result in a concussion."
"the concussion part? What?" he wondered. "I got a small concussion last time, holding my Xbox 360 while shadow traveling to Percys last summer." "A concussion!? Are you serius?" "no, I'm Sky- but yea. No heavy objects, no shadow traveling until I'm thirteen, no long distances, and holding something like a persons shirt isn't good."
"Last time, Luke was-" "he deserved it. Okay,that was on purpose. I disappeared later!" Chiron sighed.
"sorry, if she ran off. Fourth nature to her." I sheepishly smiled. "I'm always caught." "if you've ran away from your old home in Manhatten about nine or ten times, your going to be caught eventually, Sky."
Fred snickered. I rolled my sky blue eyes at me.
"and what have I told you about using technology? Both you and Percy and Thalia and Annabeth I've told too many times..."
I sighed.
"Technology makes monsters smell our scent better. Higher risk when me, Thalia, Percy, and Annabeth are all playing Mario Kart together. Do IPods count?" he looked at me. "Uhm, Sky, IPods are technology." Rosie announced. "oh yea..." I blushed. Chiron chuckled.
"Running away? What have I told you about that?" "you told me, Thalia, and Annabeth that we could get hurt. Run over, monster, ifwe had no weapons then it'd be bad."
Embarrassment!
"Your lucky that you didn't end up in the Underworld." "Apparentlylanded on a hellhound offended Hades." I whispered to Rosie, Al, Fred, and James:
"Landing on a hellhound? I got cursed for three days. I could only eat ghost food. It's..... Delicious.." I sarcasticly said.
"Now, when you get to Camp, you'll be washing the plates after dinner on the firs day.onlyfor one night."
"it's only dishes, Sky!" Mrs. Weasley said. Mrs. Potter and their husbands nodded.
"have you ever washed dishes with Harpies? You have to dunk them in really hot lava stuff. Ofcourse, Tyson, our friend, he's a half cyclops, has an advantage, fire doesn't affect him. Percy can use water to cool it down. Still got a burn scar..."
"I'll tell them to be nice to you. They already favour you." "because I'm Zeus kid." he looked thoughtful for a mommemt.
"I could arrange you, me and your brother, Dynosius to have a game of poker othe Big House Porch with some Coke..." I smiled.
"Sure! That's better than dishes! I won last time!" "you always win. That's why. So, maybe, if you loose, and I'll make sure you will, you won't have as many drachmas left."
Oh wow. Then I'll only bet five. I'm not stupid!
"I must go and give a similar speech to Connor and Travis Stoll.. I could make you three clean out the attic.. And Thalia- she's been playing 'Call of Duty' trying to beat someone's high score." I smiled sheepishly.
"You four will clean out the attic, and look for anything weird. Since, I know youll probably get only five drachmas." he smiled at me.
"if I don't see you on your birthday, as it is the Winter Solsitce-" "don't remind me." "then happy birthday. I'll try to make it that evening, alright?" I smiled.
"Love you Uncle!" "Love you, niece!" we hugged, and he left.
"how'd he get through the fireplace in a wheelchair?" I smirked.
"if he took off the wheelchair, you'll find that he's a centaur. Pretty cool. Ever get a ride from a centaur? It's awesome!" Harry and Ron smiled.
"it's pretty cool, isn't it?" I nodded.
TUESDAY:
I hummed the song 'Old King Minos' as I got out of the shower. I put on my uniform.
I slipped on my black skirt, which, I had had a battle against wearing, but I lost. Then my white knee highs. I slipped on my black converse. After putting on a black spaghetti strap tank top, I I put on my white button down shit. Oh, I mean shirt... Heh.. Heh...
My black sweater with scarlet and gold trimming was warm against my cold skin. My Gryffindor tie was tied. It had scarlet and gold stripes down it.
I blow dried my jet black hair, and put it in a braid down my back, my bangs framing my face. My jewelry was on, so I had protection just in case.
My school bag over my shoulder, books and homework in it, I went downstairs with Rosie and Dom.
Fred and James huffed as they sat across from me. "thanks for waiting for us, Sky." "I'm sorry. I checked, but you guys were asleep."
"she showered, and blow dried her hair. In a half hour, and it took you like an hour to scraggle up your hair?" Al snickered.
Scorpius and Al plopped down next to Rosie. So, that left Scorpius sitting next to me. "Hey, can you pass the milk for my lucky charms?" I asked Al. He handed me the milk.
"thanks." "no problem." I took out my schedule.
"on our schedule today, Dom, Fred, James-" "schedule? It's skeduel!" I rolled my eyes. "I forgot. You guys say diffrent stuff. Math-" "it's Maths." "whatever. I'm just saying."
"ugh, Potions first, then History of Magic, Charms, then our last class is Double Transfiguration." Fred groaned. "Potions then History of Magic!?" "come on!" Proffessor McGonagal came by, and, smirked.
"well, maybe, next year, Mr. Weasley, you won't have Potions at all." his face lit up with glee. "I'm joking, you know, so don't get your hopes up." she chuckled and walked away.
"Shit, always me."
I rolled my eyes.
