Hi guys! Just a short and silly one-shot to help me get back into the gist of writing. I've had a bit of writer's block, but hopefully, that's gone now. I don't own Harry Potter, R&R, and now, onto the story!
James ate his breakfast, staring at Evans as he did so. Why wouldn't she say 'yes' just once, to let him prove he really could be a good person?
"Hey, you alright, mate? Looks like you feel lower than a slug covered in slime," said Sirius.
Just then, he became doused in slime, and as Remus and Sirius moved further away from him, he noticed Evans burst out laughing at the sight of him, and say, "I swear, I will kiss whoever did this."
Suddenly, the meaning of Sirius' words became clear.
"SIRIUS ORION 'PADFOOT' BLACK!"
Sirius ran off, cackling madly, with Remus and Peter laughing at the both of them. As James ran to catch Sirius, he heard Evans mutter quietly, "Never mind."
"What in the name of Merlin as that for?" demanded James. Sirius threw his hands up in defeat.
"You should have seen your face! It was priceless. Actually, here, look at your face." said Sirius, handing over a picture from out of his pocket.
The image had James making an angry expression, with his eyebrows scrunched together, his nose wrinkled, and slime dripping down his hair and face. James let out an unintentional snort.
"See! I told you," said Sirius, yelping when James punched him in the shoulder.
"It was not funny." insisted James, huffing.
"You didn't think that when you saw the picture!" said Sirius in a sing-song voice.
"Shut it," said James, turning around and heading back to the Great Hall. "I'm gonna go eat."
He had a bad feeling as he entered the Hall, and this proved to be accurate when, upon entering, he was covered in a bucketful of green and silver sparkling slime.
When he looked at the crowd, he saw Evans fall of her chair in mirth, and Remus and Peter were unabashedly holding up a sign that said: WE DID IT! IT WAS US!
"REMUS JOHN 'MOONY' LUPIN! PETER 'WORMTAIL' PETTIGREW!"
For the second time that day, James found himself chasing his best friends out of the Great Hall.
