Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Harry Potter. JK Rowling does. The
only character I own is Jasmine Hodera. So don't sue me :D
This is a Lily/James fanfic. PG-13 for some stuff, I'm not really sure why at the moment, lol. I'm going to try to update every day, so check back often!
------------------------------------
Four boys entered the Great Hall, smirking. One had untidy black hair and hazel eyes. The boy next to him was extremely handsome, with black hair that gracefully fell over his eyes. Another boy looked tired and ragged. His robs were torn and his brown hair was all over the place. The last boy was pudgy, with small beady eyes and dirty blonde hair.
"Ahh, it's good to be home!" James Potter (Prongs) said, stretching. He scanned the Hall for a certain someone, but couldn't find her.
"Looking for Jasmine?" Sirius Black (Padfoot) asked, smirking. His best friend has fancied Jasmine Hodera since their fast year, but she didn't pay much attention to him.
"Of course he is", Remus Lupin (Moony) said wisely. "Who else would he be looking for?"
James flushed; he didn't want everyone to know he liked her. "Be quiet or I'll hex you!" he shouted, looking haughty.
Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) squealed, and covered his face. His fat fingers spread apart and he looked directly at James.
"Don't be a git, Wormtail" Sirius sneered. "Prongs was just joking around".
Lupin shook his head. "You children will never grow up", he said, looking serious.
James grabbed the book out of Lupin's hand and hit him over the head with it. "If we're children, so are you!"
"Oy! There's Hodera!" Sirius shouted.
"Where?! Erm.I mean, yeah? Where is she?" James asked. "Not like I care or anything."
"Don't be a prat, Prongs. We all know you fancy her!" Sirius said, laughing.
"Now children, let's get to the common room" Lupin said.
"Yes! Let's get to the common room!" Wormtail squeaked.
The group headed to the staircase and finally arrived at the portrait of the Fat Lady. "Password?" She asked, glaring at them.
"Erm." The boys looked at each other. They had not run into a prefect for Gryffindor yet, so they had no idea of the password.
"Animagi" a sweet, delicate voice said behind them. The boys turned and found themselves staring into the face of Jasmine Hodera. Her long, sleek, blonde hair stopped at her waist, and her blue eyes sparkled.
"How are you fellas?" Jasmine asked, teasingly. She looked at each of them, smiling, but her eyes stayed on James the longest.
"Fine", they all replied. Sirius was grinning like mad, Lupin had an amused look on his face, Wormtail looked confused, and James was making his hair messier.
"Well, Sirius, Wormtail and I have work to do, so we'll see you later, Jasmine", Lupin said, waving goodbye. He then grabbed Sirius and Wormtail and pulled them through the open portrait.
"So." James said. "Nice weather we're having isn't it?" He flushed at his pitiful attempt at a conversation.
Jasmine, didn't notice his blush, or decided to ignore it. "Yes, the weather has been wonderful", she replied, batting her eyelashes.
"Err.yeah. How are you?" James asked lamely. This conversation was going downhill, fast.
"I'm fine. And you?" Jasmine answered. She pulled her blonde hair into a perfect ponytail and looked at James for an answer.
"I'm good. So.ermm.do you want something?" he questioned. James could think of no other reason why she was talking to him. Sure, he was popular, handsome, smart, and funny, but Jasmine and him hadn't really been on speaking terms.
"As a matter of fact, I was wondering if.Well, tomorrow is the first Hogsmeade trip and I thought we could go together", she said simply.
James gawked at her. Was she, Jasmine Hodera, asking him out? Say yes!, he thought to himself.
"Yeah, that would be cool" James replied, shrugging. Try to act cool.he thought.
Jasmine smiled broadly. She looked very happy for someone who never paid much attention to James before. "It's a date", she said, walking away. Before she turned the corner, she blew James a kiss.
James looked after Jasmine, puzzled. Sure, he was pleased that she asked him out, but he had to wonder why.
"So" Sirius said, setting out of the portrait. "You gonna snog Jasmine? Hug her? Love her? Want her? Need her?" He asked, smirking.
"Prongs, if you get carried away, be sure to wear protection." Lupin said from the door, wearily. "Although I am hoping you restrain yourself and don't get carried away on the first date".
"SHUT UP!" James roared. "Or I will curse every single one of you!" He said, breathing heavily.
Sirius just continued to smirk. "Be sure to brush your teeth before you let Jasmine put her tongue in your mouth."
Wormtail appeared behind Lupin, looking worried. "James - err.I'm not sure how to say this", he said, his beady eyes looking around the hallway.
"Go on git, tell James" Sirius said, looking bored. "He doesn't bite. At least not on Mondays."
Wormtail let out a high-pitched giggle. Then, he suddenly clamped his hands over his mouth. "I'm afraid James will get mad!" he whined.
"I promise I won't get mad" James replied, rolling his eyes. "Now tell me, I'm a bit tired and need some sleep".
"So you'll be ready to snog Jasmine in the morning?" Sirius asked, laughing.
James glared at Sirius, and waved his wand in the air, threateningly. "Just cause you're my mate doesn't mean I won't curse you!"
"Anyway! Erm, Prongs, pal, loyal friend.you shouldn't go out with Jasmine", Wormtail squeaked, looking afraid.
"And why shouldn't I, Wormtail?" James inquired, looking quite amused.
"Because! She's.err.OH JAMES! She's using you!" Wormtail blurted out.
Sirius and James burst out laughing. James leaned against the wall to keep himself up. He was sure Sirius's bark-like laughter could be heard throughout the whole school.
"Cheers!" Sirius said, gasping. He had laughed so hard eyes had formed in his eyes.
"And --- how --- do ---- you know that?" James asked Wormtail, still chuckling.
"Well, I just know. Please trust me James," Wormtail begged. "I don't want your feelings to be hurt".
James was touched that Wormtail cared, but he wasn't going to not go out with Jasmine. "Look Wormtail, it's nice that you care and everything, but I can take care of myself, mate".
"Well, alright James, but." Wormtail said, still looking worried. He shook his head, as if trying to forget something he witnessed. "Have a good time! I think I'm gonna check back at the Great Hall to see if there's any food left, I've sort of worked up an appetite."
James and Sirius waved goodbye cheerfully to Wormtail. Lupin laughed, "If he eats any more he won't fit through the portrait!"
Sirius chucked, grinning. "I've been telling him to lay off the chocolate frogs, but he's not listening!" Lupin smiled, shaking his head.
James coughed, to grab the attention of his friends. "Why do you reckon Jasmine asked me out?" he asked his friends, seriously.
"Not sure why mate", Sirius replied, shrugging. "Perhaps she's just lonely, or she's on the rebound from some Slytherin git".
"I'm sure there is a logical explanation. Perhaps it's because she fancies James. That would seem like the - err - obvious answer", Lupin said, wisely.
"It's nothing to loose sleep over!" Sirius told James, throwing his arm over James's shoulder. "Besides, we got some trouble to cause tomorrow, and you need to be 100% well-rested!"
"It is getting late, so we best be off to bed", Lupin said. "And if you are going to plan your mischief, I should suggest you do it elsewhere, not around me. Being a former prefect, I would feel honor-bound to report you." With that said, Lupin climbed through the portrait and disappeared through the dormitory door.
James and Sirius stepped through the portrait, and looked around. Minerva McGonagall was sleeping in a lion chair, with a transfiguration book open. Besides Minerva, the common room was empty.
"Best not to think about Jasmine, mate! Just go to sleep, you wouldn't want to fall asleep while snogging her, would you?" Sirius said, snorting. He hit James on the back and headed up to the dormitory.
Instead of going to sleep, James sat in a chair near the fire. The crackling flames danced and filled the room with sound. For some reason, James felt uneasy. He was so happy about going out with Jasmine, but he didn't know why she wanted to. It made no sense.
"Maybe I best get to bed", James muttered to himself. "Perhaps it'll all make sense in the morning".
Author's Note: Hooray! Chapter one is done! I think it's kind of short, but that's ok. I want to thank you all for your comments already, please continue to read and review :D The next chapter will be about James and Jasmine's date! Oh, and I may throw Lily into the story in chapter two or three. I'm not sure yet!
