"Did you see that tree?" James over heard an older student ask his friend.
"The one we're not to go near?"
"Ya what's it called again, a walloping cedar?"
"No, it's a Whomping willow." Said his friend chuckling.
'A new tree?' thought James 'I wonder why they'd put a Whomping Willow in?' He turned to Sirius,
"You hear that Sirius?"
Sirius just nodded and grinned, "What do you know about Whomping Willows?" He asked James.
"They hit, hard." Said James "They don't want us going near it, I wonder way that put it in…"
"They must be hiding something; you know trying to keep us away from it."
"Shall we see?"
"But of course." James grinned back at him.
The next afternoon James and Sirius went down the lawns to the tree, the one that hits back. Peter was tagging along but they couldn't find Remus to get him to join in.
James and Sirius danced around the tree, jumping and skipping closer and closer while Peter stayed further back. As the two of them grew nearer to the tree its branches tried harder to beat them back. One of the smaller once whipped James' face and Sirius barely escaped being pummelled by a branch thicker than his school trunk.
James sprinted forward and touched the trunk of the tree, he saw a hole at it base but he barely had time to place his hand on the rough bark before being struck across the chest and sent flying backwards.
When James woke up he couldn't tell how much time had passed but he could see Sirius and Remus looking down at him.
"Oi, what happened?" he asked. Remus glanced at Sirius,
"Well I saw you touch the tree, then you got this odd expression on your face and then you were being tossed backwards. You alright?" He asked.
"I'm fine," James said. "I saw a hole at the foot of that tree, it looked like a tunnel."
Remus paled.
"We're going to have to find that out later," Said Sirius "When we know some more magic."
"Yes." James' eyes lit up at the thought. "Did Evans see me at least?" He asked. Remus and Sirius looked at each other exasperated, they didn't answer him.
