The day that James' parents consented to adopting Sirius Black was the best day of both their lives.
From the day they first met on the Hogwarts Express they clicked immediately. They shared a passion for Quidditch, and both hoped to be in Gryffindor house. The similarities were endless, and both were Pureblood, although Sirius' family was supporters of the Dark Lord. Sirius was opposed to this and James supported his views.
When they arrived at Hogwarts they waited in the Great Hall to be sorted together, then they sat at the Gryffindor Table together, and to both their delight they were in the same dormitory. They grabbed the beds by the window, which were right next to each other, and for the first term they stayed up all night talking. It was during these conversations that their friendship formed. One night, they sat up talking about their childhoods, and James told Sirius a story about his family house-elf.
"Griedy was a rubbish elf. He never did what he was told and spent all day playing the piano or sleeping. I decided to teach him a lesson. He was playing a certain sonata by Bach…"
"Who's that?" cut in Sirius.
"Some muggle musician. Anyway he was playing it and I slammed the lid shut on his fingers and locked it shut." Sirius let out a bark of laughter. Suddenly a voice form the next bed spoke sleepily.
"What happened? Is there a dog in here? James what have you done this time, I really don't think it is appropriate to turn Sirius into a dog, especially at this time in the morning." Remus exclaimed.
"It's 4.30" squealed Peter jumping out of his bed.
"Guys I was only laughing! It's no big deal. Anyway it is Saturday so we don't have to be up early." Said Sirius.
"What were you laughing about anyway?" said an annoyed Remus.
"Oh, nothing, just something James said." Sirius blushed slightly.
"What's going on with you two, you have been acting very strangely recently!"
"We have? What makes you say that?" Remus laughed.
"I was only joking! I was just trying to make you paranoid! Strange is normal for you two!"
"OK, stupod!" fired back Sirius
"Well if that's the way you feel I shall have to admit that you are not nails." Remus spat. The two 11 year olds started to fight and, at his own risk, James jumped in between them to split the fight up. Peter, not being entirely with it, jumped on the three, mistaking James' action for joining in the fight. He squashed them all to the floor and they lay in a big pile for five minutes whilst they all got their breath back.
These late night fights became a recurrence as Sirius and James still stayed up talking. A moody Remus regularly got woken up and soon the fights between him and Sirius were just jokes; yet Peter often mistook them for real fights, as he is stupod.
One night, shortly after New Year, the four boys sat up having a midnight feast. The conversation soon turned to Valentines Day, a big event in the Hogwarts calendar.
"So you giving anyone a card James? I bet you'll get like 50!" said Remus, giggling. It was a joke between them about James evident popularity with the "ladies". Most of the girls in their year, excluding Lily Evans, were in love with James!
"Oh ha-ha! I doubt it, no one likes me! I have no friends!" an offended peter slapped him.
"You're such a girl Petikins!" shrieked James, slapping him back. Yet another fight broke out.
Little did James know but somebody was already thinking about the card they would give to him.
