Chp. 1:

Midgets and Duels

The beginning of the new term. The fourth year at Hogwarts. Something that James, Remus, Sirius, and Peter would treasure forever. A lazy day just sitting by the lake, doing nothing.

"Moony, you don't have to know everything about Transfiguration before we get to class," Sirius said, yawning. "It is only the first day."

Remus, who had been engrossed in his new Transfiguration book, looked up with a cross look on his face. "It's a full moon next week, and I need to get a head start on the homework." He went back to his book, while James and Sirius exchanged a small smile. For the next hour, Sirius, James, and Peter discussed Quidditch and girls. James was just mentioning something about an amazing catch at his last match, when Peter yelled.

"Hey!" Peter pointed to the groundskeeper's hut. "It's Evans."

James looked up quickly, and his facial expression softened a little bit. Sirius and Remus exchanged a smile; James had wanted to go out with Lily Evans since third year. Her bright red hair, and gigantic green eyes seemed so beautiful to him.

Sirius looked puzzled for a second. "Who's that girl with her?"

James's eyes suddenly slipped back into focus. There was a girl with Lily. She had stunningly long purple hair. She was short, and very skinny. Lily was introducing her to the groundskeeper, Ogg and his apprentice, Hagrid.

"Must be a first year, she's a midget," James scoffed. "Evans! Over hear!"

Lily turned around to see who was calling. Her face hardened into a scowl (Why does she always do that?' James wondered.) She said something to the girl next to her who laughed, and started to run towards the boys. Lily shook her head and followed.

When the girls got to the tree, the short girl started to talk to them in French.

"Bon jour! Je'mappelle Harriet! Tu as?" She said fast. Sirius looked at Remus who just shrugged.

"Erm...sorry?" He said with a confused look.

"Oh sorry," the foreign girl shook her head. "I forgot, I'm in England. Hmphf. I'm Harriet LaDanielle. And you are...?"

Sirius was shaking his head not unlike a dog trying to get rid of water in his ears. James threw him a disgusted look, and said "Well, the ass over there shaking his head is Sirius Black, the one reading is Remus Lupin, this little runt," he put his hand on Peter's head, "is Peter Pettigrew, and I am James Potter."

"Very nice to meet you all. You don't seem like the complete retards Lily made you out to be!" Harriet said quite cheerfully. Lily, on the other hand, turned bright red. James was surprised at this since Lily usually seemed to have no resentment at completely hating James.

"Well, we're used to Evans hating us. It's force of nature," Remus looked up from his book, smiling at the new girl. "I'm Remus, or Moony. I'm the only smart person in this bunch, just ask Lily."

Harriet looked over at Lily, who smiled at her. "Remus is the only sane person in that bunch. Unfortunately, he still hangs out with them," Lily smirked, looking over at James. James instantly tried to flatten his hair. He looked straight into Lily's eyes, and just realized what a brilliant green they were. He was amazed at when Lily was looking into his eyes also. Alas, they had to be interrupted.

"Lily, is this one dead?" James and Lily looked over at Harriet. She was poking Sirius in the face. "He won't move."

"OY! I can move, I'm just bugged by the midget poking me!" Sirius exclaimed slapping Harriet's hand away from his face. Harriet looked taken aback, but then her face turned into a smirk.

"Un cheinne! Je'sui la chat!" and Harriet instantly started to mess with Sirius's hair.

"You rock!"

"What the hell?!" was all that Sirius managed. James started to laugh when he realized that Lily had actually sat down with them. Remus had set his book aside, and they watched Sirius try to get the new girl off of his head.

Peter turned to Lily. "Shouldn't we stop her?" Lily smiled; she had a soft spot for Peter, he was small and weak, and rather stupid, and she felt that she should be nice to him if not the rest.

"Nah, she's fine. She's just a bit hyperactive. She has a very cat like nature," Lily paused for a moment, contemplating whether to go on. "She was transferred from Beauxbatons since they don't like eccentrics that much, and her parents wanted her to be happy. She's in our year, and in our house."

James was the most surprised, "Our year? She's a midget?!"

"I'll thank you kindly I'm just small. My mom was an elven maiden," Harriet had stopped messing with Sirius's head for a moment. "I"m just small okay? I don't laugh at you because your hair won't stay flat!" She pointed at James's head.

Again, James immediately started to flatten his hair.

"Oh shit, look what time it is!" Remus said with a start. "It's almost time for dinner! And I have to make sure that I hand in this homework." He jumped up, and started for the door. James, Sirius, and Peter all got up and followed after him.

"Is it just me," Remus started with a bit of a smirk, "Or does Padfoot seem to have an admirer?" James and Peter immediately started laughing, while Sirius turned slightly pink. He shook his head, and immediately started to smirk again.

"Like I'd go out with a girl who only has one friend," Sirius scoffed. "Besides, she's a hyperactive midget!" He tossed his hair to one side, and then paused with one foot in the air, his head turned. His expression turned into a slightly cruel smile. "Snivellus."

James immediately turned around to see the boy whom Sirius was referring to. Severus Snape and James had been enemies since their first year, when Snape got them in trouble.

Let me take a moment to describe Severus at this point of time. He was scrawny and pale with long black greasy hair. He was not altogether unattractive, but had a nasty temper. Only one girl admired him, and she was one year younger, and had quite bad acne.

James's smile had turned slightly cruel, much like Sirius's. He had reason's for hating Snape that went beyond the incident in their first year. Remus and Peter stopped, and turned their heads to see what was going to happen. They did not quite understand James's hating of Severus, unlike their thorough unserstanding of Sirius's. (Sirius liked ranting a little too much.)

"Hello Snivellus," James said in a soft voice. Snape had stopped and turned to the voice.

"Hello Potter. Come to wipe the floor with your head?" Snape retorted in slightly louder voice.

"Well, we know they wouldn't do it with your head; it's greasy enough as it is without," Sirius said in a much louder voice. His sleeve was covering his hand, and James knew all to well that Sirius was gripping his wand, ready for a fight.

Severus frowned, and said, "Prove how well you can fight."

"All right I will!" Sirius's wand was drawn and pointed at Severus.

"WILL YOU GIVE IT A REST?!" They turned around, and saw Lily standing there, her eyes flashing with anger. "Do you know how frickin annoying it is to not go a day without seeing you three fighting?" Harriet was sitting on the floor, reading.

"Lily, give it a rest, they obviously don't care," Harriet said. She pulled out her wand, and flicked it ever so slightly. James and Sirius were repelled back from Severus as if they were were pushed by a giant wall. "There, now stop it." Snape glared over at her, and scowled.

"I don't need help from a half blood midget, or a mudblood whore," he said backing up. James started forward, colour rising in his face, his wand raised, pointed at Snape.

"DON'T," he roared at Snape, his wand to Snape's face, "DON'T YOU EVER CALL HER THAT AGAIN, YOU-" he called Snape a mixture of curses, "OR I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FUNERAL! GOT IT?"

Snape smiked with a truly evil grin. "I've got it. " He turned and ran down the hallway, nearly knocking over a group of first-years. James glared at him, and considered running after him.

'Damn him! Damn him, he is evil.' James thought.

"He seems quite unpleasent," piped up a little voice. James turned, his train of though broken. Harriet was standing besides Sirius; she barely reached his collarbone. "I mean, I'm might be half blooded, but hell, I'm not a midget. And Lily might be muggle-born, but we know that she's most definately not a whore." James looked over to Lily, surprised to see her standing there, crying slightly.

"I hate him even more than I hate you guys. Dammit!" She looked up. James was startled by the tear lines on her face. He realized, that while looking at Lily cry was the saddest thing on the face of the earth, that she was even more beautiful than before.

Snape had challenged James to a fly off after hours. He made him fly into Lily, almost breaking her collar. Lily ran off and told Professor Slughorn, who gave James three-weeks of detention. Snape had run off before Lily could see that he was there.
