Going on About Lily Tomorrow we’re getting on the Hogwarts Express for the last time. Even though I’m going to be Head Boy this year and we have to take our N.E.W.T.s, I just can’t think about anything else. I’ve been talking about her all summer and I even feel bad for Padfoot for having to listen to me now that he lives at Potter Manor. |

Duties, Paintings, and One More Map I’m trying, I really am, but it’s all a jumble and soon enough I’m confused, frustrated, but most of all, distracted. I just can’t stop thinking about Rachelle. Yes, she’s a Slytherin, but she seems nice enough, looks are definitely going for her, and she certainly doesn’t hate me like Lily does. Isn’t that enough? |

To Hell With It I run a comb through my hair in a feeble attempt to tame it and brush my teeth. Observing myself in the mirror, I decide that today is the day I do it. I will ask Rachelle out today. Then I’ll plan a Hogsmeade weekend as soon as I can, and everything will be perfect. I spit the toothpaste foam out into the sink and look myself over in the mirror one more time. Yes, today is the day. |

Surprise After Surprise I watch after her as she walks quickly to join Regulus’ side and starts chatting with him again. I nearly jump as someone bumps into me, forcing my attention to be redirected to my footing. I turn to look at them and it’s none other than Padfoot. I groan; we seem to have the same schedule and I can’t take this cold shoulder business much longer. |

Scum and Filth of the Blood-Traitor Species Padfoot clears his throat and says with a malicious gleam in his eye, “Prongs, we’ve got some planning to accomplish.” |

Doubts and Suspicions I glare straight at them and, let me say this, if looks could kill, there would be jets of green light bouncing all over them. |

A Couple Weeks In It’s only a couple weeks into the school year and I’ve already gotten two weeks of detentions with McGonagall – thank Merlin today’s the last day. I haven’t seen Rachelle and Regulus together lately, not that I’ve been watching on the map, so I guess that’s a good thing, even though we’re a little more distant. |

Just Another Day...After the Full Moon But just after a couple minutes, Lily rounds the corner, laughing genuinely with Jane Thomas beside her. When they nearly reach where I’m standing, Jane veers off into a different corridor, saying something to Lily that I can’t quite catch. I watch her as she approaches me and am extremely relieved when she comes to a stop in front of the Fat Lady. |

Growing Distant A couple people look at me curiously when they pass, but they immediately avert their gaze once I give them the venomous is-there-a-problem-that-I-should-know-about look. |

Too Much for One Day “No,” mum whispers, wiping a tear from the corner of her eye, “it’s my fault. I should’ve told you earlier, but I didn’t want you to worry at school…this is worse, I guess, for you, James. It’s just too much for one day.” |

Recovering Gah, this is horrible. I’m falling to pieces! What happened to confident, a little arrogant (okay, quite arrogant) James Potter? Where is he? I NEED HIM! |
