I do not own anything except the characters I created and the storyline. JK Rowling is the genius who started it all.
Please take the time to review. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
Chapter Fifteen
Harry and Hermione glanced at each other. Harry waved his wand to clear the table and clean the dishes.
"Your mother and I are going to go get ready too," he said to James.
James shrugged his shoulders. Hermione followed her husband upstairs. Once they were inside their bedroom, Hermione turned to him.
"Well, that was interesting breakfast. What do you think their blowup was about?"
"I'm not exactly sure but, Hailey seems to have grown on Noah."
"Maybe too much," commented Hermione.
"You don't think he likes her, do you?"
"It's a possibility."
"No, Noah wouldn't do that to James."
"James broke up with her."
"Yes, but they're brothers and something like this would change everything."
"I know. Maybe I'm thinking too much into this."
"Exactly, I don't see it happening, Hermione."
"It happened between us. That's how we got together, Harry."
"I know. I remember."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
The Potters placed their bags in the trunk of the car and hopped in.
"Why are we driving?" asked Noah.
"We're not," answered Hermione. "The car is a portkey."
Within a few minutes the car disappeared from the Potter driveway. It reappeared in the driveway in front of the cabin.
"We're here," announced Harry. "Boys grab the bags."
Harry and Hermione walked inside the cabin. James turned to Noah.
"You heard him, grab the bags."
"He said for both of us to bring them inside."
James ignored him and grabbed his own bag. "Happy, I got a bag."
He then went inside the cabin. Wanker thought Noah. He took out his wand and shrunk the rest of the bags. Then he grabbed them and followed his brother inside the cabin. The cabin wasn't huge, but it was cozy. Noah placed his parents shrunken bags on the table next to the front door. He walked upstairs to pick a bedroom. There were two master bedrooms, four regular bedrooms, and four bathrooms. Each master bedroom had its own bathroom and one of the single rooms had a bathroom. Noah passed by the bathroom at the top of the stairs and noticed that James had taken the very first room. Three bedrooms were left. Noah took the one next to James and placed his bag on the bed. James walked into the room.
"This is Hailey's room. Pick another," he said.
Noah shook his head. "I like the view in this room plus Hailey should have her own bathroom. She shouldn't have to share with three boys."
"The room with the bathroom is all the way down the hall."
"So?"
"I told you that I want her back. It would be easier if we were closer."
"James, there's something I need to tell you about Hailey."
"What?"
"Hey boys, get down here," interrupted Harry.
James walked out of the room before Noah could say anything. Downstairs, Harry and Hermione were standing in the living room.
"Your mother is going to the grocery store, which one of you would like to help her?" asked Harry.
"I want to be here when the Weasley's get here," stated James.
Noah rolled his eyes. "I'll go."
"Good," said Hermione.
She grabbed the car keys and motioned for Noah to follow her. Once they left, Harry turned to James.
"You can help me put sheets on all the beds and get this place ready for people."
"Okay."
"Let's get started."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Ron! Hurry up!" yelled Luna.
Ron Weasley stuffed another donut in his mouth and ran out of the kitchen. His family was already waiting for him in the car.
"Dad, you'll be able to eat at the cabin," stated Hailey.
Ron grinned with his mouth full of glazed donut. "It's for the road."
"Ronald, we'll be there in less than a minute," declared Luna.
Ron shrugged and got into the car. The car disappeared from the Weasley's drive way and reappeared in front of the cabin.
"Nice cabin," commented Will.
"Are the Potter's here?" asked Hailey. "I don't see their car."
James Potter walked outside waving. The Weasley's stepped out of their car and greeted him.
"Where's the rest of the clan?" asked Ron.
"My dad's inside and Noah and my mum are at the grocery store."
"Good," said Ron "The food will be here soon."
Will laughed at his dad. Harry walked outside.
"Ron, you are going to love your bedroom," he said. "It's right across from the kitchen."
Ron grinned. "Perfect. Where's your bedroom?"
"Upstairs. It's down the hall from the kids bedrooms."
James looked at Hailey. "Want to go pick out your room?"
"Sure," she said. "Come on, Will."
The three went inside and up the stairs.
"I picked the first one," stated James.
"Which one did Noah pick?" asked Hailey.
"He hasn't picked one," lied James.
"I'm taking the second room," exclaimed Will.
Hailey continued walking down the hall to look at the other rooms.
"Will, why don't you pick another room," suggested James.
"Why? I like this one," he said as he pointed at the second room. "It has a nice view."
"I think you should pick a different one."
Will raised an eyebrow and was going to respond when Hailey came back.
"I love the last bedroom. It has its own bathroom," she said.
"So like I said, I'll take the second room," stated Will as he walked into the room.
Hailey stayed in the hallway with James.
"How are you?" she asked.
"I'm good. How are you?"
"I feel great. Things are good."
"You look good," he commented.
Hailey smiled at him. "Thanks."
"It's good to see you," James said as he stepped forward to give her a hug.
Hailey hugged him back.
"I missed you, Hailey."
"I missed you too."
She pulled away just as Will walked back out of his room. They heard a commotion coming from downstairs. The three of them went to check it out. When they got downstairs, they saw Ron hugging Hermione.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you," he repeated.
Will spotted Noah. "What's my dad thanking your mum for?"
Noah laughed. "He's thanking her for buying muggle candy bars."
Will snorted.
"Do you need help with the groceries?" asked Hailey.
Noah smiled at her. "Sure."
They walked outside together.
"Today is Christmas Eve," declared Hailey.
"Yes, it is."
"So you know what that means."
"That Christmas is tomorrow."
Hailey bumped her hips into his. "You know what I mean."
Noah grinned. "Yes, you want your gift."
"Mhm."
"I'll give it to you tonight."
"How about you come to my room when everyone is asleep? We can talk and you can give me my gift."
"Good talk or bad talk?" he asked.
Hailey touched his hand to get him to stop walking. She stepped closer to him and placed a hand on his chest. Hailey looked around to make sure no one was around. When she realized no one was she gently placed her lips against his.
"A good talk," she whispered.
She stepped away from him, grabbed a bag of groceries, and walked back inside the cabin. Noah stood there motionless. Merlin, I'm a goner he thought.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Will walked outside and found his best friend standing next to the Potter's car.
"Noah, you're supposed to bring the groceries in."
Noah didn't respond. He didn't even acknowledge that he heard Will.
"Noah, earth to Noah."
"I've got a problem," stated Noah.
"What is it now?"
"James wants Hailey back."
"Oh."
"And he's going to tell her."
"Uh oh."
"Do you have anything else to say?"
"No, not really."
"Thanks, mate."
"Well, this puts my sister in a really bad situation."
"I know."
"You're just going to have to let things play out."
"We're going to talk to tonight."
"That's good. Just make sure you tell James how you feel about Hailey."
"I will. I'm going to tell him after I talk to Hailey."
