My first James/Lily Fanfiction! I really wanted to make a very good fan fiction of this and this is going to be short, yet realistic! Maybe one very long chapter or 5-7 chapters. R/R!
Summary: You know when Remus and Sirius said that James and Lily didn't go together until 7th year when Lily realized that James is not a real git? Have you ever wondered how it happened? Well, here's what I think!
*****
Howls of pain and misery reduced from the Shrieking Shack as the full moon slowly disappeared behind the dark clouds of the night. Remus Lupin's transformations were getting worst. But at least he didn't have to endure it alone, his Animagus friends, the Marauders were all there to endure his suffering with him.
Every night was almost always the same. James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew would all sneak out of the castle and go to the Shrieking Shack via Whomping Willow, with the help of Peter, who had the ability to transform into a rat; Wormtail, he is able to freeze the willow's fatal blows by pulling the lone twig on its roots. Then all of them will enter and transform; Sirius Black, into grim-like dog; Padfoot and James Potter into a stag; Prongs. Remus Lupin who is a werewolf; Moony, will then painfully transform under the moonlight. The others have to bare and watch as their friend's bones re-arrange and changed completely. After, the wolf inside of Remus will do its first instinct. To attack the first thing it sees and usually it was Padfoot.
But tonight was different. Moony decided to attack Prongs instead of Padfoot. Prongs is also big and powerful, but this night, Moony seemed to be stronger. James rammed and smashed to the wall Merlin-knows-how-many-times, and also he was slashed a couple times. Sirius tried to stop him, and it earned him nicks and scratches all over and he also got slapped on the face earning him a bloody gash. While all of this was happening, being a rat, Peter was just in corner, cowering.
After the pain-stalking transformation, Remus collapsed totally drained and battered. The others transformed back and Sirius was standing, the gash absolutely visible on his face. Peter was still on the corner, petrified to the bone. James was leaning on the wall, holding his left shoulder with his right hand. He's head was thrown back and he was breathing heavily as he slowly slid down the wall into a sitting position.
Sirius looked at him in concern and walked towards his best friend while Peter walked over Remus and hoisted him up. Sirius knelt down beside James.
"You alright mate?" he asked
"Yeah, I'm fine, just get Remus out of here" James answered hoarsely, standing up trying to prove his point, but failed as he knees buckled below him making him collapsed against the wall
"Here let me," Sirius said, helping James to his feet. It was successful and James was leaning with his whole weight on Sirius. He's breathing was getting more ragged
"You need to go to the hospital wing, you're hurt and you know it," said Sirius support his best friend making him touch his shoulder, he's hand came back crimson red.
"No! Madam Promfrey will get suspicious and you know that they can't know that we are all Animagus! We're going to be expelled! Plus Remus needs to be out here right now! He needs help!" James said sternly, glaring at Sirius, daring him to argue.
Sirius glared back and looked at Remus, who was fully leaning of Peter, unconscious. He's skinny friend was already weak before the moon and the transformation made it worst. He's now very pale, bruises and cuts visible on his arms and legs. Hoarse breathing can be heard from him.
"Fine, but promise me that you will go straight to your common room and I will check on you as soon as me and Peter dropped Remus off to the hospital wing" Sirius said, sighing in defeat
"Yes mother" said James, jokingly. Sirius rolled his eyes and signaled Peter and they made their way out of the shack, to the tunnels, out of the willow, to the grounds of Hogwarts.
Sirius helped Peter with Remus and made their way to the hospital wing and James made his way to the Head's Common Room. All the way there, he was leaning on the walls trying to keep his balance and not falling flat on his face. He sighed in relief when he saw the portrait that led to the common room. He approached it, said the password and carefully went in. He was greeted by the warm feeling coming the fireplace, illuminating the red and blue colors of the furniture in the room.
He was about to go up to his room when he saw a shadow infront of him. He turned around and groaned. Lily Evans was standing there with her hands on her hips, and her lips in a thin line.
"Where do you think you were Potter?" she asked her eyes blazing, daring him to tell her something other than the truth.
James gulped nervously, explaining, or rather making up a good lie to convince the fiery tempered Ravenclaw isn't going to be easy.
