(A/N: So my friend told me, "You haven't posted anything in awhile!" So here I am, just for her, posting this . . . story. It's dedicated to her, too! And if you all are so happy that I have finally put out something new, you can thank her. Do it! Check her out! callernumber16onz100. She's got some really funny stories. And review one of them, tell her what you think, and thank her for making me post! Now, to cut the rambling, this was going to be a one-shot, but I decided to make it more. It's basically a list of things James Potter is not allowed to do, as you (may) have inferred from the title. I just don't have all the things I want, so I am going to make it multi-chapter. And yes, I probably should be working on the next chapter of What a Summer, but SOMEBODY (coughcallernumber16onz100cough) hasn't returned the piece of paper I lent her to type up the last one, sooooo . . . Here it is!)
The First 25 Things James Potter Isn't Allowed to Do
I am not allowed to throw Sirius's overly smelly cologne out the bathroom window
I am not allowed to flirt with Professor McGonagall, for even though the class would find it funny, it would land me a detention or to and a long lecture.
I am not allowed to hex Slytherins for being Slytherin.
I am not allowed to snog the most beautiful Lily Evans senseless, because it would get me slapped.
I am not allowed to snog said Lily senseless in front of the whole school during breakfast. (The slap would be harder.)
I am not allowed to throw books at Remus, or at anyone for that matter, in front of Remus.
I am not allowed to burst out into Christmas carols at the Leaving Feast, because it is the wrong time of year, and I have no musical talent.
I am not allowed to snap my glasses in half.
I am not allowed to fill the 7th year boy's dormitory with full shampoo bottles and step -by -step instructions for Snivellus Snape and his overly greasy hair.
I am not allowed to put Lily Evans under the Imperius Curse and make her go out with me, because being in Azkaban would not help along the process of wooing her.
I am not allowed to charm Professor Flitwick's wand to fly above his head every time he touches it, so he can't reach it.
I am not allowed to take a polyjuice potion and fire that mental divination professor while pretending to be Dumbledore, though I have thought about it.
I am not allowed to walk into the Head's bathroom while Lily is taking a shower.
I am not allowed to carve JP+LE on every single table and desk I sit at, because that is vandalism and vandalism is not nice to the tables and desks.
I am not allowed to cheat on my N.E.W.T.'s because that wouldn't be fair.
I am not allowed to tell the whole school about Remus's "furry little problem."
I am not allowed to skive off Quidditch practice to snog Lily Evans (or at least try to convince her to snog) because my team needs me and I scheduled the practice in the first place.
I am not allowed to spike Regulus Black's pumpkin juice with Ogden's Old Firewhiskey so he gets drunk and gets a detention.
I am not allowed to tell older women that I am a dragon tamer in Romania so they will go out with me.
I am not allowed to tell Professor Binns that he is boring
I am not allowed to chew gum during Prefect Meetings and not offer some to the Prefects and Lily.
I am not allowed to call Peter a stalker, because that would be hypocritical.
I am not allowed to read other people's mail
I am not allowed to fill out my Auror application during class.
I am not allowed to push Slytherins in the lake.
(A/N: So here it is! The first chapter of this fic. Most of the chapters will be about 25 things, so . . . If you have any suggestions for things that he's not allowed to do, please tell. It would be very appreciated. I hope you liked it, and I hope even more that you will review! Please!)
