“Did you hear Frank Longbottom hooked up with Alice last week?”
James stood in an empty classroom’s door barely containing his laughter. Regulus, Barty, Evan, Dorcas and Pandora were gossiping so loud he heard them through the closed door while walking down a corridor. They were in so deep they hadn’t even noticed James walking in two minutes ago.
“What?”
“Yeah, apparently it happened at the Ravenclaw party last week.”
“But Alice? Seriou- James?”
It was honestly hilarious how quickly the slytherins (and a ravenclaw) paled after realising he was there, listening. However, they had forgotten everyone in the castle is a gossip - James included.
Plus, he's a gryffindor, so he has a bit more information about the situation.
So James just pushed himself off of the doorframe and joined in: “Did you know they’re officially dating now?”
“They’re what?”
