Everyone has Secrets
A soap opera of lies, hate, truce and love
Episode 1- Pilot
James hauled his luggage up the stairs and into his new dormitory. He heaved a heavy sign and took in a big whiff of air.
Fresh.
It smelled fresh, as if it had never been used before. It didn't take him long to figure out which side of the room was his for to the right to him was a dresser filled with pictures and essential "guy things" while the walls were covered in every wizard and muggle sport imaginable. And James thought that he was a sport fanatic!
James set his old Hogwarts trunk on his bed. You could tell that his trunk had been used all 7 years that he was in school, rather then being replaced every couple of years, for the bottom was peeling. He would have gotten a new trunk, his parents offered, but THIS trunk held the best 7 years of his life.
James started to unpack his things slowly.
"Knock, knock roomy," a voice said from the door.
James looked up, getting his first glance at his new room mate.
He was about, 6'1" and had short brown hair. He had a slim build but nice hard muscles, (James could tell for the shirt he was wearing was tight fitting).
"The name's Liam. Liam McCarthy. Come from Durmstrand. How 'bout you?" Liam asked, walking over and shaking James' hand firmly.
"James Potter. Hogwarts," James answered.
This guy acted as if he'd know James his whole life. Maybe he did.
"Ya' know, you look familiar. But… I don't think that I've ever seen you before." Liam said, scanning James as if the answer was somewhere hiding on his body.
"Um..," James stuttered. "I play qudditch. I've been to every world cup throughout the past 17 years," James answered unsurely.
"Aha! You're James Potter!" Liam exclaimed, slapping James on the back. "The Hogwarts chaser. People back at home said you's the best in the world!" Liam exclaimed, giving James another slap on the back.
James tried pushing the blush out of his face.
"Well, I wouldn't say…" James started.
"Oh, go ahead! Flatter yourself! I know I would. And I'm gonna too! The boys back home, they'd never believe that I was roomies with a quidditch star. NEVER! They always said, 'You's ain't never gonna get into a college like the University of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ya gotta be smart, up here," Liam pointed to his head, 'not down here," Liam finished, pointing to his mouth.
"Well, I guess that I'm both," he gave James a cheesy smile.
"So, is that what you're here for? Quidditch?" Liam questioned.
"Well, I received a scholar ship, asking if I would play here. But that's not what I plan on doing for the rest of my life," James finished of quietly.
"So whatcha' here for then?"
"I…I'm not sure yet," James replied, bowing his head, ashamed.
Liam slapped him on the back again.
"Hell! Even I'm not sure what I want to do nor does anyone else here! You shouldn't feel ashamed. That's why you spend a year doing NOTHING, but partying and getting girls and then whatever you ace in, at least pass, that's what you plan to be in life," Liam finished.
Well, that made James feel a hell of a lot better.

James walked down the hallway looking for room 1313.
"Remus!" James called, pounding on the door.
"Remus! Open up. Let me in! Come on…. hey, Remus," James greeted smiling cheerfully at the sour faced Remus.
"Man James. Talk about impatient. Come in," Remus finished off dully.
James walked in and plopped down on the bed.
"Where's Sirius?" James questioned.
"Right here!" Sirius exclaimed jumping up next to James on the bed.
"Sirius! You scared the shit out of me!" James exclaimed.
Remus sighed. He hated it when James swore.
"I can't believe this. How did you two get a room together and I got stuck with a freak from Durmstrand. I mean this guy is totally weird. He's a sports fanatic and he like worship's the ground that I walk on. This guy's nuts," James finished.
"So now that you've seen our room, let's go see yours!" Sirius cried, bouncing off the bed, causing James' side to go off, pushing James off the bed.
"I swear," James said, rubbing his bottom, "Sirius is sugar active 24/7. He never stops!"

"Whoa! You're right. There ain't a space of wall left," Sirius exclaimed.
"Isn't," Remus corrected.
"Isn't what," Sirius questioned.
"Isn't is the correct term," Remus answered.
"Isn't is the correct term for what?"
"Never mind."
"No, no tell me. Pleeeease!"
"Sirius just shut up."
"Grrr."
"Don't you growl at me or I'll make sure that I bite you next full moon," Remus snapped.
"Guys! You fight like a married couple," James exclaimed. He gave an exasperated sigh.
"James, do ya' know that this guy has pictures of you on his wall? Look, here, here… here and here too!" Sirius said, pointing to pictures of James.
And sure enough, small but noticeable was a section of pictures strictly devoted to James. They varied from Hogwarts old newspaper (The Gossiper) to (which freaked James out slightly) pictures of James with his friends and family, just hanging out at his house. But the weird thing about the pictures containing James with his friends and family, the people in those pictures, acted as if they didn't even know someone was snapping a shot of them. In the moving pictures everybody just kept talking and acting happy and not disturbed.
James, Sirius, and Remus walked down to the Dining Hall for dinner.
"Ya, know. This is gonna feel really weird. No Dippet to start dinner off at the beginning. Kind of sad," Sirius commented.
"I think we should all give him a moment of peace," Sirius replied, bowing his head.
"Ok, moment's over," James said as the 3 boys entered the Dining Hall.
That's when he saw her. She was standing by the food table, talking to other girls. She had long brown hair and bright blue eyes. Her tight blue jeans and tank top modeled off her every curve.
"Kendra Saunders," Remus whispered in James' ear.
"What?"
"Her name is Kendra. Kendra Saunders. She's a 2nd year. Makes her off limits to us," Remus explained.
"Off limits? How do you know that?" James questioned.
"I've been socializing with the older students here at the university," Remus explained
"Socializing?"
"I swear, how were you two the smartest in our class?"
"Cuz we got skills!" Sirius replied.
"Oh my god. She's walking over here," James cried. He quickly ran his hand threw his hair.
"Hi! You must be First years. I'm Kendra Saunders," Kendra said.
She spoke in a silky voice causing James' knees to buckle. Kendra went around and shook each of the boys' hands. James held on a second longer.
"Now, just a few pointers: you can sit wherever you want, but if you want to survive your first day, I would sit over there," Kendra explained, pointing over to the farthest left table.
"Great….." Sirius mumbled.
"So, if you need any help, just find me at the 2nd year table." Kendra finished, pointing to the table, farthest to the right. With that Kendra walked away. "Well, she's defiantly got it going on," Sirius commented.

James was sitting in the Boys lounge watching Remus beat Sirius in a game of wizards' chess. "I wouldn't move there if I were you," James warned.
"Shut up James. Let the master work," Sirius snapped.
"Knight to c4,"Sirius said.
"Checkmate!" Remus exclaimed.
Sirius pounded his head in the table.
"Told you."
"Bugger off."
"Lily! What are you doing in here?" Remus shouted in surprise.
James and Sirius turned around and for a second time today, James caught himself staring.
Lily had changed over the summer. Or maybe she had always looked like that, just, her excellent figure was covered up by the Hogwarts uniform.
"Oh! I know. I'm sorry, truly. It's just that, a girl lost her cat and I was helping her look for it. I figured…"
"I didn't know that you were going to this school," Remus cut in.
"Oh, yes. Actually, I was accepted to come during our 7th year but I told the school that I wanted to finish off the year at Hogwarts. Besides, then I would be a level ahead of all my friends."
"Hey, is your friend, Cassidy, still going out with what's-his-face?" Remus asked. James noted the bitterness in his voice.
"Yeah. His name is…."
"Derek. I know,"interrupted .
Lily raised a questioning eyebrow.
"Well, if we see Joe Shmoe, we'll tell ya'!" Sirius said, breaking the awkward silence.
"His name is Rusko. I guess, then, I'll see you guys around," Lily finished off lamely.
And with that, Lily stalked off in search for the missing cat.
"Well, this year should be interesting.
