Things between the boys did not let up for a while. Leon trained day and night to beat James for his spot on the team. Albus sent Jude dirty looks every time he was around him. Jude was finally able to get on his broom stick without having his back flare in pain. James, unfortunately, was slowly getting around to walking. The lightning blast was still too fresh for him to be going back to his boisterous self.
The trio sat at the Great Hall with Jude feeding James after he took a bite out of his food. Emma had sat with them at first, but she then got sidetracked when Leon came and started talking to her about their potions class. Emma was eager to finally talk about class she practically jumped out of her seat to talk to him.
James glared at Leon but still opened his mouth to take the food Jude was feeding him. Jude shook his head when he glanced at the other two, "I honestly don't get why she's always with him either. I mean, they never talked our first year, so what makes this year so different?"
"When did they even start talking to each other?" James grumbled, taking another bite out of the treacle tart Jude presented to him. "Do they live near each other or something? I don't get it. There's no way they're so close after one day of talking to each other."
Jude shrugged with a sigh, bringing his arm up to feed his friend again, "I don't like it. With him hanging out with Emma, that means she won't hang out with us, and if she hangs out with us, Adams' is probably gonna think he can hang out with us too. I never had a problem with him until you had a problem with him."
"Thanks for being such a great friend, mate," James grinned at him, lifting his hand up. Once they finished their secret handshake, he continued, "I don't want him to think he can hang out with us either. We have to find out why she's hanging out with him."
Jude nodded before scratching his head thoughtfully, "Not only that, we also have to find out about that lightning that struck you."
"It was just lightning," James mumbled, shifting a bit uncomfortably. He winced when he felt a sharp pain radiate through him.
Jude shook his head, "I don't think so. The lightning was coming after me but my broomstick threw me out of the way. It then went straight to you as if it knew."
"Might just be coincidence."
"Lightning strikes aren't just coincidence," Jude responded. "Especially not when there's something like a lightning stone."
James groaned, "They said it was a myth. It's not real."
"That's what Adams said," Jude stated with a shake of his head. "Do you wanna have the same mindset as Adams?"
He jumped, startled when James suddenly slammed his hands on the table. "Emma!" James shouted, startling the poor girl out of her conversation. "We're going to the library after lunch so you better be ready to go."
"But James-"
"Oi, Potter," Leon frowned. "We're trying to have a conversation he-"
"No one's talking to you, Adams," James waved his hand, dismissing the now sneering boy. "Are you coming, Emma?"
The red head looked a bit uneasy but nodded her head anyways. James nodded firmly while Jude hid his snickers behind his hand. He knew how to make James tic and it was going to be a bit fun. It was fun having best friends.
