Terrified Lily rushed forward not knowing where she was gong or what she would do when she go t to wherever she was going. Her lugs ached for more air then tiny gasps could allow. She heard James feet pounding on the stone floor and echoing up bouncing from the walls. Right. Left. Right. Left. She finally collapsed gasping for breath leaning against a wall.



*~*~



James saw her fall and a gasp of breath issued from her mouth. He slowed to a slow walk, and tip-toed over to her. Shocked he saw for the first time tears flowing freely down her cheeks, sobs racking her body. She was pulling at his heartstrings and his male instincts told him to comfort her. He plopped down next to her. Placing his hands in his lap just sat, staring blankly at the wall across from him, waiting for her to do something other than weep. Suddenly her head fell into his lap but she continued to cry harshly. He stoked her hair quietly, pulling it behind her ear and brushing it with his hands. She stopped crying and looked up. . . suddenly as though reality struck a chord, she jumped up, looked at James and shuddered. She burst from the corridor, her footsteps rebounded off the walls. James sat there listening until the only thing left to hear was the spitting and hissing of the candles all around. Tears fell silently from his blue eyes, running down his cheek and down his chin, spilling down his throat or falling onto his robes, making a wide wet spot. He didn't move he just sat staring into space, feeling his heart shatter. His handsome face was blotchy with red spots.



*~*~



"What to do what to do?" mumbled James as he paced the common room. It was a boring Saturday afternoon and he again had nothing to do. His friends were all lazing around. Lily's group had now officially become a part of his and it was a living hell. Not only was Lily ignoring him, it seemed as though she was also afraid of him as well. (*Who wouldn't be... I mean I can turn into a fricking STAG! Hell I'd be afraid of me! Sheesh!!*)

"How about Prongs my man you SIT down" Remus said laughing. "You'll be in the Slytherin common room by four o'clock."

"Hmph"

Sirius was slumped in a chair snoring quietly, Peter was staring off into space. Remus was reading a book ("The Muggle Species, are they really that dumb?!" Louise and Ernie were listening to "Wizarding Wireless" and playing exploding snap. Just as James looked at them it exploded into Ernie's face. Now black with soot he wiped off the ash enough to see. Lily and Charlie were speaking in quiet whispers, occasionally bursting into laughter. James felt white hot anger but dismissed it quickly. He took to glancing around once again to drink in the appearances of the people around him. Sirius was tall, tan, with dark eyes. He had brown un-ruly hair much like James. He was strong and well built and always had a smile on his face.

Remus was tall too but that was all he had in common with Sirius. He had blond neat hair that fell all around his face. His grey eyes shone eerily from his pale skin. Brown freckles fail across the bridge of his nose and his cheeks. He made the girls crazy to say the least.

Peter was short and chubby with a receding hair line from when he was ten years old. He had brown eyes that weren't spectacular. His bowl cut did nothing for his features, if anything they made him chubbier and more childlike.

Louise Finnigan was a beauty though not in the normal idea of beauty. She had short dirty blond hair cut into a pixie cut. She had dark green blue eyes that sparkled like gems in her eyes. She was not tan, but her pale skin was covered in freckles making her nearly tan. She was thin but not very. Her face was always rosy pink and her laugh was infectious.

Ernie Avi. That wasn't his real name, his real name was Joshua but he never really thought it suited him so when he came to Hogwarts he changed it. He had dark red hair that was constantly messy. He was thin and scrawny not much muscle. His dark blue eyes were his best quality. They made his look nymph-like. He not all that tall, but he has a few inches on Lily, who was a good 5'7". He was always laughing and had a very blunt sense of humor. His sister Molly had also gone to school at Hogwarts though she had since graduated.

Charlie Peterson was dark skinned and well toned. He had shaggy brown hair that much like James' did whatever it pleased. He had chocolate brown eyes that were comforting which is why Lily ran to him most of the time. He held her when she was upset which tore James up inside he couldn't stand it when they were together.

Last Lily. She was tall for a girl, with billowing red hair that fell loosely around her heart shaped face. She had green eyes that were bright and cheerful. She was freckled much like Louise. She was thin and "feisty" as Sirius always called her. *Suppose it's the "Red Head" nature.* James thought. He sat in that chair and soaked in the company of friends while he still had them, *how long will they all be around me?* he shuddered at the though and wondered why he had thought of it.
