“So either get with it or get out of the fucking way.”
Amelia Bones is a fucking force to be reckoned with.
James is a little convinced he's in love with her.
She stands tall, the picture of seventh year, head-girl, quidditch-playing, all-woman perfection. Maybe it's the fact that he's actually there, at their first quidditch lesson with Hooch, aiming to hold an air of confidence she's clearly overflowing with. The quidditch pitch is Amelia's turf, and he's not about to try to get in her way in the first place, but that doesn't mean the warning doesn't send a chill up his spine. He wants to believe she's actually paying attention to him, but her list of warnings is crucial, and fair.
All well-deserved, considering half the students who had shown up look bloody well terrified.
She's just there to observe, Hooch had reassured them. Even though she was playing for the Hufflepuff team, - one third their rivals, he had to remind himself, - James still feels a need to impress her. Especially when she seems entirely unconvinced that any of them will actually be good enough to beat her legacy.
Amelia glances at him as she says it, and James flushes pink, trying not to grin.
He loves quidditch.
