CHAPPIE TWO! Up and running! i hope you like a lot!

That night at dinner, Professor Dumbledore was walking among the students. James was always fascinated by Dumbledore, a wise man, a tad insane mind you, but yet a wise man. Dumbledore had resigned from his teaching post the year James started Hogwarts since they had found a suitable teacher, Minerva McGonagall. James thought that Professor McGonagall was smart, and strict; two things that did not compute with his mind.

James was contemplating all of this when someone put his hand on his shoulder. James promptly jumped, only to see Professor Dumbledore there, smilng at him.

"Alert as always James?" Dumbledore asked, smilng over his half-moon eyeglasses.

"Sorry Professor, lost in thought," James said, apologising.

"Thought is the one place that you should be lost in. Have fun while in there," Dumbledore said, patting James on the shoulder before walking over to Harriet.

Harriet was standing close to the windows, looking a little too lost to sit down. Dumbledore walked over there and started talking to her.

'I hope the weird freak's ok,' James thought as he looked over at her.

"Waddyou doing?" James jumped at the sudden voice. It was Sirius, ripping off a chunk of chicken while looking over in the general direction of James.

"Nothing," James said. Remus and Peter had sat down besides them; Remus already looking wan and pale.

"It's Remus's 'time of month' soon," Sirius joked. Remus punched him in the head before sitting down.

"Time for the 'furry little problem'?" James asked. Magdalin, a fourth year girl, suddenly jumped into the conversation.

"Ooooohhh! What does your rabbit do? Mine eats through all the curtains, and destroys the garden!"

Surprised at the sudden statement, Sirius promptly inhaled half his pumpkin juice up his nose. This got the rest started, and Magdalin just sighed.

"Morons," she said before digging back into her steak.

James and Sirius starting telling skeleton jokes when suddenly someone tapped on Sirius's back.

"'Scuse me, could I sit here?" It was Harriet, looking suddenly smaller in this giant mass of people. She seemed rather scared, contradicting the hyperactive girl the had met earlier that day.

Sirius looked taken aback, and then it softened into pity. "Sure, you can sit here." He scooted over on the bench, forcing Magdalin to smash into the boy she was sitting next to. Harriet sat down and helped herself to some of the french bread in front of her. She and Sirius started talking, her apologising for her hyperness. James turned around when he heard a sigh.

"Dammit, I guess I'll sit next to you," Lily said, suddenly appearing besides James, who was so awed by the fact that Lily would overcome her hatred and sit next to him, scooted over quite quickly. Harriet suddenly took notice that there was a girl there.

"Yay! A female, someone who is not overcome by the effects of evil testosterone!" Harriet said vaguely, while talking to Sirius. James and Remus caught sight of each other's faces, and immediately stifled laughs.

"Nice, very nice Harriet," Remus said, shaking his long hair out of his face. "But we're hardly, how did you put it? 'Overcome by the effects of evil testosterone."

"You're not," Harriet said. "But these other people are," she waved her hand in the general direction of James, Sirius, and Peter. "You are the type of people who laugh at perverted jokes." Sirius suddenly reddened for a second. "Technically we all are, so no one can be ashamed of anything if you think about it." Harriet suddenly looked down and let her hair fall in her face.

"Ah...erm... okay then..." Sirius said. James saw that they needed a quick change of subject.

"The first Hogsmeade weekend is next week! Do you all want to go together?" He asked feebily. Harriet looked up, her eyes shining bright

"J'irai si le chien va! Et si le Lys va aussi," Harriet said excitedly. "J'aime en fait-" She turned bright red and jumped up. "Zut pas encore ! M'excuser," she ran out of the Great Hall.

"I wonder if that means yes," Sirius mumbled as he picked through his dinner.

Later that night in the Gryfiindor Common room, James was flipping through his Quidditch book. Sirius was building a house of Exploding Snap cards, as alert as anyone when Harriet came out of the girl's dormitories. She was plaiting her hair as she was walking. She saw Sirius, and walked over to him.

"You know you'll never get it to stay up with that kind of foundation," She said, pointing to the house of cards. "Too flimsy with too many cards."

Sirius smiled, "And what do you think will keep it sturdy with that few of cards?" James looked over and saw them building the house of cards and smiled.

'Looks like Sirius got himself a girlfriend," James thought. 'Lucky ass,' he thought again with a chuckle.

"They're too cute together," Lily said coming up behind James. "It's kind of sickening" she said, her face strangely twisted in a smile. "Oh well," she said, yawning. "I'm going to bed. G'night James."
