Chapter Three

It was late the next evening when James went to find his sister. "Jane?" He knocked on her door.

"What?" She asked through the closed door.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah, just a second." Soon the sound of clanging glass and what sounded like a cauldron were moved around. "Ok."

James opened the door and looked around the empty room skeptically.

"What?"

"What are you doing in here?" James walked in and looked around, after sitting on her bed.

"Nothing." Jane answered, quickly glancing at her closet.

"Jane?" James asked cautious.

"Something wrong, James?" She sat next to him.

"You wanna go down to the pub with Sirius and me?" James asked.

"Sure" Jane smiled; she knew that getting drunk out of his mind was usually how James started dealing with being depressed.

A/N: The following passage is a flashback and will be represented with Italics when they end so does the flashback

"Hey, Evans." James smiled, walking up to his sister and his current infatuation. He sat down between them, putting one arm around Lily and the other he ran through his hair, messing it up.

"What, James?" Lily asked annoyed, only slightly glancing from her book.

"Well, we're going to Hogsmade tomorrow and I was wondering if you'd like to go with me." James flirted. When Lily went back to her book he knew what he 'had to do'. With the arm that wasn't around her he moved her book down and went on, "Everyone else will be there too; you know Sirius, Jane, and Lupin, so--" James smiled knowing that couldn't resist his lone dimple.

"No, James." Lily said pulling her book back up and continued reading, avoiding his looks.

Well, Lily was the exception. James knew he'd have to rebound. "Oh, ok. You want to help me with my Potions then?" James asked, now with the arm the used to be around her was rested on her knee, his smile was gone.

"No, James." Her annoyance rose.

"Well, what about--" James asked, now worried.

"No!" Lily slapped her book shut and stood up, James followed her and stood in front of her. "James Potter, I won't go to Hogsmade with you. I won't help you with Potions, or anything else for that matter! If you weren't so self-centered, James, you'd have noticed that I'm much more intent on reading a book than listening to your ramble. Just…bloody…just bugger off." By this point James was looking like a lost puppy. Also unlike most girls at Hogwarts Lily didn't care what look he gave.

She tossed her book at his chest and stormed off.

James slumped back onto the sofa, next to Jane.

"James…" Jane started.

"Want to go get some Butterbeer or something?" James asked.

"Yeah." Jane jumped at the chance.

They took their invisibility cloaks and went to the Kitchens where they easily got a bottle of Fire Whisky and a jug of butterbeer along with goblets. The House elves were used to James coming down to get 'something'.

They took it back to the common room where they woke Sirius and Lupin who promptly jumped at the opportunity.

"No one should drink alone." Sirius reasoned.

Though when morning came and the butterbeer was gone and the whisky half way there they always wished they'd just ignored them.

"Uhg. RJ?" Jane whispered, nuzzling closer to Sirius whose lap she was in and who had his arms around her waist.

"Huh? Yeah?" RJ whispered back.

"Could you use that one spell? My head is killing me." She whined in a whisper.

"Yeah. Mine too." Sirius whispered before kissing her neck.

"Sirius, James may be drunk but he's not stupid." Jane pulled away.

RJ used the spell she was meaning silently. He preformed it on the four of them.

"Man, I'm tired. We have class soon don't we?" Jane asked getting up.

"In half an hour." Sirius told her getting up also.

Jane left James to Sirius and RJ.

"Finally you're up?" Lily said straightening her clothes.

"Yeah, you know you really bummed James out yesterday." Jane told her as she got ready.

"Yeah, well he deserved to hear it in a way that would get through his thick skull." Lily snapped getting her books together.

"He just asked you to go to Hogsmade and you bight his head off."

"I know what going to Hogsmade means to him.

"Oh, yeah? What does it mean?"

"It means I'd be willing to shag him. Or at the very least snog each others faces off."

"Oh, it does not."

"Everyone knows what goes on in James' brain--"

"Lily! Lily!" James called from the common room.

"Oh, what now?" Lily scoffed.

"Why don't you go see?" Jane suggested.

Lily did just that. She headed down the stairs to find James, looking pitiful.

"Look, Lil, I'm sorry. I was so stupid. I thought that you'd actually want to go hang out. I didn't mean to make you think that all I wanted was to snog you. I mean, I so want to snog you and I would too. I'd snog your brain out right now if you'd let me, and you don't want me too and I respect that. And…I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." James went on.

"James, are you still drunk?" Lily asked cautiously.

"I only had…ohm…this much" James said holding out two of their goblets.

"Sirius, you let him drink more?" Jane scolded.

"Hey, he said he needed some courage." Sirius held up the now almost empty whisky bottle. "Its liquid, its courage, its liquid courage."

"Ugh." Lily and Jane scoffed in unison.

"Oh hey, I have potions homework to do." James remembered.

Lily took pity on him. "Here, I'll help you."

"Thanks, but I thought you said you didn't want to help me with potions?" James asked as they sat down to actually start his potions.

"Yeah, well don't expect this too often." Lily explained.

James, Jane, and Sirius apperated to Hogsmade and went to the three brooms sticks where they stayed until it closed. There, anyone could tell they were too drunk to apperate back so they used the fireplace and floo powder.

Once they were back at Grimrald place they couldn't even make it out of the living room.
