DANCE WITH ME
~----~
Lily laughed as Sirius ran in and immediately tackled Juli and began punching her for putting dungbombs in his bed.
It was their first night back at Hogwarts. James had gone to get some food from the kitchens and the rest of the marauders and their friends were here, laughing at Sirius and Juli.
"YOU LITTLE---!" He kept punching her as hard as possible till she cried out in pain, kicked him away, and ran up to her dorm.
"I think you hurt her." Peter said dumbly.
Sirius' temper was a very short fuse… And Juli went a little too far on the first day back. Sirius wouldn't have minded if it were later in the year—don't ask why… I haven't a clue.
Sirius went over and sat on the couch in the corner of the room, near Remus.
"Where's James?" Sirius asked Remus.
"He's been out getting food for the past…" He looked at the clock on the wall. "half hour…"
Sirius got up. "Good. I need time to cool off. I'll go look for him."
Sirius walked out without another word.

James groaned as he came-to. The last thing he remembered was a bad pain as though something had been slammed over his head. He tried to move but found it impossible… as if all the bones in his body had been crumbled.
He opened his eyes and saw a pale looking boy, who was in his second year… a slytherin transfer student. He was smiling cruelly.
"Hello, James." He drawled. He was the only slytherin to have ever called him 'James'. James looked around him.
"Where'd you take me…?" He asked through clenched teeth.
"Your still in the school , don't worry—yet. In a few minutes we will be taken away, where the dark lord will have a short chat with you--- and then kill you." He said as he fiddled with his wand. He seemed to not care much about what he was doing.
James looked down, he realized he couldn't feel his limbs because serculation was being cut off… and couldn't move because he was tied up. He struggled to free his arms but couldn't manage it. He looked around the room. It was one of those rooms that move around. James had seen it before.
Within minutes two boys in James' year appeared. Malfoy and Snape---oh joy… *sarcastic*
They looked to the other boy.
"Jaal, Black is looking for him. We better move before he tries in here…"
Sirius! James thought. Then before he realized what he was doing he began yelling at the top of his lungs. Jaal jumped in surprise
"Put a silencing charm on him!" He yelled to the older boys
"I-I forget how!"
"THEN GO STOP BLACK FROM DOING ANYTHING!"

Sirius walked down another staircase.
How dull… He thought as he walked around. No one was around.
He turned the corner and walked along checking into all the rooms as he went. Something caught his eye near the Potion's room… someone moving in the shadows!
HE moved closer—the person quickly turned a corner and went out of sight.
Sirius shrugged and continued checking rooms.
When he finished checking inside the potions room he stepped into the corridor and froze. He could hear yelling…
"SIRIUS! SIRIUS GO GET DUMBLEDORE!" he could hear… Sirius chose his first instinct over his second..
his first was to go get Dumbledore
his second was to go do something stupid to help THEN get Dumbledore.
He began running down the corridor—when he noticed the sounds of footsteps behind him. He picked up the pace and started running full speed. He came to the stairs and darted upwards. He nearly fell when he got to the disappearing step but managed to keep going.
He took a sharp left after that and collided with something—someone.
He looked up. Dumbledore! But he was too out of breath to say anything.
Dumbledore helped him up. "Sirius what are you doing here? Go back to your common room please… I have everything under control…"
Sirius was about to argue and tell him about James when he saw the look on Dumbledore's face… He already knows! Sirius nodded and watched as Dumbledore hurriedly went down the stairs. Sirius then bolted to the common room.

I showed Lily the extremely large bruise on my stomach. She 'eeew'ed and I took my seat again.
I sat down and looked into the fire angrily. I mean, Jeesh! I was only playing around! I put some dungbombs in there… BIG DEAL! He put worms in my bed a few years ago! It must be something about that no-first-day-at-Hogwarts pranks James and Sirius made us vow to.
Suddenly Sirius came bounding into the room completely out of breath. Remus—being what he was could sense something was wrong… but that happened to be a little obvious this time.
"Sirius? What's wrong?" Remus asked.
"James—yelling—something about---for me to get--- get help…" He said completely out of breath. "Dumbledore's---Dumbledore's going…"
He collapsed down on the couch in the corner again trying to catch his breath.
(A/N lol I just watched my sister get hit by a car! ---she's ok though… I wouldn't laugh if she got hurt…. Hehehha)
~-------~
Nobody really knew what happened after that. All they knew was that when Dumbledore got to the room, James was standing there, a little dizzy, all alone. Dumbledore knew what had happened but couldn't do anything without proof so he sent James to get some rest.
