Ok this chapter is a repeat of the last one only told from James' point of
view.
-----------------
Chapter 14 : Boys Talk too!
James woke up the next morning at about 6, his head still spinning with the previous nights events. There was only one thing he could do about it now though, and that was damage control. He sat up in his bed and opened the drawer on his bedside table. He searched around under old letters, and some faded photographs until he finally found what he was looking for. He pulled out the small handheld mirror, and wiped it with the sleeve of his pyjamas.
"Padfoot," he whispered to it.
There was no reply.
"Padfoot," he said a bit louder.
There was still no response.
"Sirius Black!" he finally yelled. A very dishevelled, bleary-eyed Sirius appeared in the mirror.
"Morning," he yawned at him.
"Yea morning, Padfoot I need you to do me a favour."
"What?" Sirius asked, whilst rubbing his eyes.
"I need you to make sure Caitlin keeps her mouth shut about last night." Sirius paused and looked at him for a moment. He didn't ask for an explanation, which James was grateful for.
"Sure I'll see what I can do," Sirius said plainly. James knew he would have his work cut out for him. "Is that it?"
"Yea, thanks."
"Good 'cause now I'm going back to sleep." James laughed and watched as Sirius obviously stuffed the mirror back into his drawer. James did the same, but got up instead. He always did his homework early in the morning, when no one would catch him, it gave the impression that he didn't study or do any work at all.
He sat and wrote out a Potions essay, for about an hour, and then decided to go down to get his breakfast. He left his work back into his room and then walked back into the private common room. The sight of Lily Evans almost gave him a heart attack.
'I told Caitlin to take her to the hospital wing!'
"Jeez Evans, you scared me!" Lily laughed at him in response.
"I scared you?" James realised how stupid he must look. In truth it wasn't Lily that had scared him, it was the fact Caitlin had not done what he had asked her to. He knew then that Sirius wasn't going to have any luck with her.
"Yea well, I wasn't expecting you to be..." He paused, he couldn't let her know where he was expecting her to be, it would give it away. "How are you feeling?" he asked instead.
"I'm fine," she replied, sounding annoyed. She obviously wasn't 'fine', she looked like death warmed up. James thought it was best to leave this conversation here, and avoid any awkward questions.
"That's good. See you later." He quickly left the room, he heard Lily call something after him, but ignored it and shut the lion cub portrait firmly behind him.
-----------------
When he arrived down in the Great Hall he saw that the only Marauder there was Peter. He didn't ask about the whereabouts of the other two.
"Morning Wormtail," he said, trying to sound casual, and not give away that he was thinking about the previous night.
"Prongs," Peter replied. James noticed a strange glint in his eyes, like the hungry look he'd seen in him last night. He decided to ignore it and started buttering some toast. It was a while before Peter spoke again. "Prongs, last night," he asked nervously. "Where you going to hit Remus?" As he finished, a smile flickered across his face, and his cheeks flushed.
James swallowed the toast he was eating hard, and looked sternly at him.
"No Wormtail, I was not." Peter cowered slightly from him as he spoke. "I would never do that to one of my friends."
"But he made you mad though didn't he?" Peter said sounding hopeful.
"No," James replied flatly. "I just wanted to stop him making a fool out of himself."
"Yes but..." Peter began whining.
"Wormtail, I don't want to talk about it. Alright?" Peter agreed, and they both finished their breakfast in silence.
-----------------
James' first class that day was Defence against the Dark Arts. It was by far his favourite subject. He passionately loathed the Dark Arts, the only other job he had thought about seriously, apart from Professional Quidditch, was becoming an Auror. He also loved the fact that he got Lily all to himself in this class. At the start it had been so he could torture her continuously, without Caitlin trying to stop him, now it was so he could just be beside her, and watch the way she crinkled her nose up when she didn't understand something.
Today however he knew he couldn't sit beside her. He had no idea if Caitlin had caught up with her yet, and he couldn't let himself spend an hour trying to analyse her every move – he needed to concentrate on the class. When he entered he saw she was there already, he quickly dragged his stool to the opposite end of the bench from her, and sat down.
'I hope that was discreet.' He couldn't bring himself to look round to see if Lily had noticed, so kept his head straight ahead, looking at the teacher. He didn't even look round again when he heard Remus sit hurriedly down beside him.
"Morning," he said stiffly.
"Morning," Remus replied warily. The both sat in silence, usually they would make small talk, but neither one of them thought it was appropriate today. "James about last night." Remus had decided to get straight to it, in a way James was glad he had. "Are you still mad at me?"
James turned round to face him. He saw that Remus was looking at him like the younger pupils did, waiting for his decision with trepidation. He didn't like this at all, Remus was his friend, his equal, and he couldn't treat him like this.
"Moony seriously it's ok," he said trying to sound sincere. Obviously it wasn't enough to convince Remus, who still felt he had to prove himself.
"It's just... I don't know what happened. I think I just... gave into the moment," he finished dramatically. James couldn't help but laugh.
"Truthfully Moony, all is forgiven," he said, placing his hand on Remus' shoulder.
"You know I don't like Lily like that, don't you? I realised that the moment I kissed her," Remus said looking directly into his eyes.
James was unable to hold his gaze and turned away.
"Why would I care?" he mumbled pathetically. He heard the classroom door open behind him, and heard Sirius come in. He knew he was in his spot, and felt Sirius' eyes burn into the back of his head. He sat rigid in his seat, and returned his concentration back to the lesson.
About 15 minutes later he could hold it in no longer. He had come to a realisation, and decided the noble thing to do was to confess to Remus, and let the poor guy off the hook. He cleared his throat.
"Well Moony, at least there was one good thing that came out of you kissing Evans." Remus looked round him a bit startled at his sudden outburst.
"What?" he replied, amazed that James could see anything good come out of this.
"It gave me a wake up call." James watched as Remus' face changed from one of intrigued to realisation.
"You mean...?"
"I like Lily Evans," James said burying his head in his hands, he wanted the ground to swallow him up. 'Why did I just tell him that?'
'Because he's your friend, and you couldn't let him go on thinking you were only mad at him because you thought he was some pervert who took advantage of vulnerable women,' a voice in his head answered.
Remus placed his hand on his back.
"See mate, that was my plan all along," he said trying to sound full of his usual wisdom. James looked up at him and gave him a sarcastic glare. They both laughed. He was aware of some other commotion in the classroom but was too caught up in the fact he had just confessed to Remus, to paid it any attention.
When the class ended shortly afterwards, James was surprised to see Lily stop Sirius to thank him for something. James and Remus were both really curious, and luckily Sirius proceeded to tell them what it was about as soon as they were out of Lily's earshot.
"Snivellus was giving her bother in class," Sirius explained bitterly.
"What did he do?" Remus asked, concerned.
"Wrote her a letter, disgusting it was, talking about how he was going to spit on her charred remains when Voldemort got her." Remus and Sirius both grabbed an arm each to stop James from charging back down the corridor again.
"I want to make sure she's ok," he protested, trying to wriggle feel of their hold.
"She's fine," Sirius said, still holding tightly to him. "She didn't read it, I picked it up before her." James wriggled even more furiously.
"Well then at least let me go and curse the putrid scum!"
"Prongs will you wise up, you know you can go hexing him in public anymore, you're head boy! Besides I sorted him out already. Seriously mate what's got into to you?" Sirius looked at him bewildered. James threw a glance at Remus, as if to say 'not a word'. He didn't want to tell Sirius yet, although Sirius was probably the most important person to him in the whole world, he couldn't take the raking.
After he calmed down a bit, Remus and Sirius both let go of him, and they all started off to their next class – Care of Magical Creatures.
-----------------
After that the day was pretty uneventful until they got to lunchtime. They had spent their day larking about in class, and basically having a good laugh. They were all in high spirits, especially Sirius who was being particularly exuberant, and it felt just like old times again. This was probably because it was full moon tonight, the Marauders favourite time of month.
Yes, everything had been fine right up until Caitlin had stormed into the Great Hall, and brushed straight past them to Lily. Sirius who had been laughing hard at one of James' jokes, stopped that instant and sat perfectly still, like a dog that'd just caught the scent of danger.
"Uh Padfoot?" James asked warily.
"Yea we broke up this morning," Sirius answered in a monotone voice. "Oh and by the way," he added, mockingly cheerily. "She's going to tell Lily."
Remus went a deadly shade of pale, heightened by the fact he was already looking peaky due to the full moon. James felt a strange sensation, like he had just been shot, run through him.
None of the Marauders spoke again, but listened intently to see if they could hear anything that might indicate whether Caitlin was going to tell Lily or not. At first it seemed like the two girls were just talking normally. Maybe Caitlin was going to keep her mouth shut after all. The atmosphere between the Marauders began to relax a little. It wasn't until Lily gave out a cry that could only be described as a suffocated yelp, that Remus hit his forehead off the table, and James' hands began to sweat profusely.
They all listened again, but noticed that after a while Lily's cry of mirth, turned into girly giggles. They looked around at each other with bewildered looks on their faces. Why did Lily find this amusing? It wasn't until she and Caitlin walked past them out of the hall, some 10 minutes later that something dawned on James.
'Oh God she's smiling because she's glad she kissed Remus. She fancies Remus!'
He sat glumly until Remus announced that he was leaving to go and find Madam Pompfrey, to take him down to the Shrieking Shack. Sirius and Peter left soon after that, fed up with James' sudden solemn mood.
Finding him alone again, James' avid fans made their approach, in the lead was some Ravenclaw 5th year.
"Why so sad James?" she tried to say seductively. "I thought the potion I made for Evans would have made you happy?" James looked round at her, his face contorted with rage again.
"You did this?" he spat.
"Yes," the Ravenclaw replied, a little unsure of herself now. "I thought you would find it funny."
"Why?! Why would I find this funny?"
"B-b-because," she was starting to stutter now. "I thought you'd find it amusing to see Evans flaunting herself over all the boys, instead of her usual stuck-up self."
"Right that's it," James yelled, rising up from the table. "Detention for a week!" The Ravenclaw and all of his other fans looked flabbergasted – they didn't bother him again after that.
-----------------
Later that night, James was very glad that one of his best friends was a werewolf. The excitement of spending another three nights, running round the school grounds as a fully-grown stag, was taking his mind off his terrible day.
As he walked down to the Whomping Willow, under his invisibility cloak with Sirius, they excitedly planned the night's events. Peter, being able to turn into a rat, was small enough to travel without the cover of the invisibility cloak, and ran a few feet in front of them. It was only when James saw the Willow freeze, that he remembered he'd forgotten something.
"Bugger Padfoot, I've forgotten the map."
"You serious?"
"Nah mate, you're Sirius." The joke was old, but always funny.
"It's alright, we'll just go back up and get it," Sirius said after he had finished laughing. Just at that moment there was a painful howl in the distance.
"No listen you go on ahead, he's tearing the place apart in there. You go and calm him down, I'll go get the map." With that Sirius nodded, and James watched as he transformed into a huge, black dog in front of him, and ran off into the trunk of the Willow.
James was able to run back into his room and find the map with no problems. It was only when he was making his way back to the grounds that he had the distinct impression he wasn't alone.
He had definitely heard footsteps, walking down the corridor in front of him, but they had now stopped and he couldn't see anyone that they might belong to. He slowed his jog down to a walk, and found himself slightly out of breath. He didn't mind himself making too much noise; he couldn't see anyone around of him, and he was pretty sure he was the only student in the school with an invisibility cloak. He decided to take out the map and check it, just to see where the person who's footsteps he had heard had gone to. He stopped, took it out of his pocket, and tapped it with his wand.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good," he whispered.
The map hadn't materialised on the blank piece of parchment before he felt someone run straight into his left side. He turned round, map still in his hand, to see a horrified Lily Evans staring straight at him. The invisibility cloak lay at his feet.
"Uh, would you believe me if I said I was patrolling?"
-----------------
Oh dear, I seem to be losing readers left, right and centre. This will be my last update for at least 2 weeks. I have lots of Math Exams coming up. Basically this story is going to get pretty fluffy around Christmas time, and then pretty sinister thereafter, I plan to finish it at the end of their 7th year. If you don't like the sound of that then by all means stop reading now, if you do, then add me to your author alerts and you'll get told when I do eventually update again. Anyway here are some comments for my remaining readers:
BurningIce22: I was going to keep it a secret from her, but then I thought it was more fun for Lily to know that James liked her, and James not to know she liked him. Leads to more chaos!
luvsirius: Lol yea it does. It makes me want to update sooner as well. Which is unfortunate at the moment because now I'm going to fail all of exams cause I haven't revised enough!
kaleidoscope0-0eyes: It was a bit of a girly chapter wasn't it? Petunia's not exactly nice, but their mother is dying so I couldn't make her out to be a complete bitch. You'll see her return to her nasty ways in future chapters.
Crazayladay: Look I updated the next day! Is that ok? Don't worry people give me and my mates weird looks all the time, when we're reading this in school.
NaleyScott23: Well you didn't exactly find out what happened next, but I just thought it would be funny to see the same day from James' POV.
Carmel March: You think I'm funny? Yeay!
