Why did he always do that? She wanted to scream at him as he walked away, but she just stood there awkwardly, watching him walk away. He always seemed like he wanted to say something more, something truthful, but he always stopped himself. He was the most frustrating person! Well, there was another she could think of...
Her mind went back to her friends back up in the Gryffindor Tower and she started to walk that way once more, wondering if James was really upset at her. She hadn't meant to make his morning even more terrible, but she couldn't have walked by Severus without talking. Well now I'm beginning to think I should have just ignored him.
She sighed as continued walking towards the common room, wondering when her life got this complicated. It sucked to have Severus absent in her life and having James be a prat without her understanding, but everything seemed a little easier then.
