Able to Show, Unwilling to See (Andromeda)

Morgan thumbed through her History of Magic book, not really reading anything as she turned the pages. James was on her mind, heavily. Ever since that chat they had in the courtyard, something just hasn't been right. Sure she was lost in the dark for a while, but she came back. She told him that, showed him that.... He even sent her back to Sirius. But, James still wasn't the same.

She crossed her arms over her book and rested her chin on them. With a sigh, she tried to understand what she was missing, if anything, and if she found it, how could she fix it....

Morgan looked up as a familiar face sat next to her with a giggle. She shook her head and grinned as she listened to the mirror say all kinds of sweet things to her friend. "Hey, Andromeda. Long time no see," she said as brightly as she could, although a touch a the somber mood she was in could be heard on her words if one listened close enough.

Morgan giggled at her joke to use her mirror to cheer her up. She had missed Andromeda and was glad she was sitting with her now. She sat up and closed her book. Morgan propped one hand on her head and the other, she drummbed her fingers on the cover of her book. "I don't know, really. Someone has me confused, I guess," she said not looking at her. She thought about saying more, but chose not to.

Morgan looked up at Andromeda, her eyes bright and clear. "It's kind of boy trouble, and no Sirius and I are just....friends," she said with a smile. "It's James actually. Since I found my way back from the dark side of things, he just hasn't been the same. It's just odd. He sent me back to Sirius to help him, but now that we aren't together, he seems different...." she said, not really knowing how to say what she was noticing.

Morgan shrugged. "I don't know what all he needs to hear to convince him. I told him everything, but it doesn't seem to be enough," she said looking at her. "He knows that I'm on his side now, that I do still love Sirius in a way, even if it's not the way James wants, and that I'm deeply sorry for everything," she put her head down on her folded arms with a sigh. "I just don't know what else he wants to hear," she finished.

Morgan smiled, looking at her. "I don't know is rejecting my apology is the right way to put it... But maybe if you could talk to him. Maybe he will tell you what I need to do to get things back to how they were. I know they may never be just like that, but I'd like him to trust me again. You know, see me like he used to, or as close to it as we can get," she said quickly, her mind just racing with what she was trying to say.

"Thank you, Andromeda," Morgan said as she returned the hug. "I will do my best to keep them away, but you know how they are..." she said with a small laugh. Morgan thanked her for the mirror and waved as she left. She hoped that Andromeda could help James to see that she was the old Morgan that he used to care for. Sure she was a little different, but she was still Morgan. She looked in the mirror and smiled as it's compliment to her, My, my! You have been kissed by the sun god himself, my rare beauty... Andromeda was right, it did help cheer her up.
