James Potter Chapter 2
by, Sirius87
The next day I was woken up by Sirius Black screaming.
"What the hell are you yelling about?" I asked him.
"Oh, um just a wake up call," Sirius said trying to sound innocent.
"Well hopefully there won't be anymore 'wake up calls,' will there?" Remus Lupin asked.
"Um, I haven't decided that yet," Sirius said.
"Yeah, whatever," I said annoyed at Sirius. It was 7! I needed more sleep, but now everyone was up so I went downstairs to breakfast after I took a shower and attempted to smooth my crazy black hair. Breakfast was great and then classes started. I had Charms first with the Hufflepuffs. Our teacher, Professor Mormen immediately took a liking to Lily Evans, another Gryffindor. She was the first one to get her wand to light up. Sirius and I were next to get it to work. It was such an easy charm, but only half the class got it to work.
Next we had Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall. I had no problem with turning a beetle into a button. I earned Gryffindor 5 house points. Sirius was amazed that I got it to work on my first try, it took him five tries. I told him I was naturally good at Transfiguration, which I think I am, but I conveniently forgot to mention that my wand was especially good for Transfiguration.
The rest of the day went by quickly and soon I was doing homework in the common room. Sirius was really starting to get on my nerves because he wouldn't stop talking! He kept rambling on about how much he wanted to play quidditch and how he couldn't wait until our first flying lesson on Friday.
I was having trouble with the History of Magic homework (I kinda dozed off during class) so I looked around the common room to see if anyone was doing it. Remus, Sirius, Peter Pittigrew, and Anthony Peach also seemed to have fell asleep during class and didn't understand. I then saw Lily, Hope Ackley, Rebecca Ferland, Emily McCarfrey, and Christa Samson working on the homework.
"Er, do any of you girls understand what we have to do for the History of Magic homework?" I asked. I saw Rebecca and Emily look at my hair and giggle. I tried to smooth it but it was impossible. Finally Christa answered, "we're all confused too. We um weren't really paying
attention in class. We were gonna ask you."
"I guess we're in the same boat, what are we suppose to do?" I asked.
"We could ask my sister," Hope suggested. "She's a year older then us."
"Okay, she might know," I said.
"Amber, come here," Hope called across the room. Someone who looked very similar to Hope walked over to us followed by another girl.
"What Hope?" she asked.
"Um, we were wondering if you understand this," Hope said.
"Let me guess, it's History of Magic?" the other girl said.
"Yeah," Hope said. "Are you Kristina?"
"Yeah, I'm Amber's friend."
"She was complaining all summer about how much she missed you," Hope said.
"She was? How sweet. I missed her a lot too," Kristina said.
"Yeah, anyway do you guys know how to do this?" Kristina and Amber explained the homework to us. We thanked them and then easily completed the homework.
***
Sirius spared us a 'wake up call' on Thursday and Friday. On Friday we had our first flying lesson with Madame Hooch. I was very excited. Sirius and I seemed to do the best. We were so much alike! Madame Hooch let us take a rest because we were doing everything right and she needed to help everyone else. We didn't want to stop flying because it was so much fun, but we were proud that we were so good. We watched the other people attempt to fly backwards and land.
"Look at that kid," Sirius said pointing.
"Which one?" I asked.
"The boy with the greasy black hair who's about to crash into Lily."
"Woah, he's pretty bad at flying!"
"I know. Ha! He just crashed into Lily." Lily was thrown off her broom and she landed on the dirt. Sirius and I ran over to see if she was okay and so did Madame Hooch. She blew her whistle.
"Everyone come down to the ground. Severus Snape come here," she shouted. The greasy haired boy who had knocked into Lily walked over to her.
"What happened?"
"I'm sorry. I couldn't stop the broom and I hit Lily, I'm sorry. Is she okay?"
"Yes, but I'm going to take her to the hospital wing. She's knocked out." She went over and Lily regained consciousness.
"Lily, can you walk?"
"Yes," Lily said.
"Okay everyone," Madame Hooch yelled. "I'm going to take Lily down to the hospital wing. No one is to go on their brooms. Mr. Black and Mr. Potter will make sure of that." She then walked Lily up to the castle.
"She basically left us in charge," Sirius said. "She obviously doesn't know what we're capable of."
"Um, I don't think I know what we're capable of either," I said.
"Well we're capable of a lot of trouble, at least I am."
"Well, I'm certainly capable of causing a lot of trouble," I said.
"Good, we could make a great team."
***
The rest of September went by quickly. The quidditch season would be starting soon and I couldn't wait. I had become good friends with Sirius, Remus, and Peter. None of us were good friends with Anthony.
One day I woke up and Remus was really mad.
"What's wrong Remus?" I asked.
"Oh it's just my brother Bernard, you know he's in his fourth year."
"Yeah I know him, what did he do?"
"Um, well ya know how I missed school a few days last week?"
"Yeah," I said.
"Well it was because..."
"Hey James, Remus I thought we could... What James?"
"Go away, Remus was trying to tell me something," I said annoyed at Sirius.
"Well what were ya gonna tell him, Remus? You can tell me anything you can tell James," Sirius said.
"I, er, wasn't gonna tell him anything. It doesn't matter."
"You were gonna tell me why you were absent last week," I said.
"Oh, I was, er, visiting my mom, she's, um, sick," he said.
"So what does this have to do with your brother?" I asked.
"Um, Bernard didn't visit her and she was sad," Remus said.
"Oh, so you're mad at him?" I said wondering if he told the truth.
"Yeah."
"You're mad at your brother? Sounds like we need to get revenge huh?" Sirius said.
"Well, I guess we could so that, but what're we going to do?" Remus asked.
"We could set off dung bombs in their dormitory, I always carry a few with me. You never know when you're gonna need one," Sirius said.
"Sounds like a good idea to me," I said.
"Okay, I guess, should we tell Peter and Anthony?" Remus asked.
"I guess, maybe they could help us," I said.
"I'll go get em," Sirius said and he ran the door and came back shortly with Peter and Anthony.
"Okay Peter and Tony, James, Remus, and I had a wonderful idea on how to get back at Remus' brother, Bernard. He's in his fourth year. Do you guys know him?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, I think I know who he is, and please stop calling me Tony! Why do you need to get revenge?" Anthony asked.
"Well Tony, Remus' mum is sick and Remus went to visit her last week, but Bernard didn't visit her. So we're just gonna pull a little prank on him. We're gonna set off a few dung bombs in his dorm," Sirius explained.
"You can't just do that, it's against the rules!" Tony exclaimed.
"Woah, it's against the rules. Who cares?" Sirius said amused.
"I do! We could get in trouble," Anthony said.
"Wow, what's your point?" I asked getting annoyed.
"I'm not gonna get involved in anything that could get me in trouble. I'm telling Professor McGonagall!" Anthony said and ran out the door.
"He has got to be kidding!" Sirius said.
"I don't think he is," I said.
"Damn it!" Sirius yelled. "What a moron! What kind've an idiot tells on his only friends. Well, not that we're his friends. Now we're gonna get in trouble."
"Well he doesn't have any proof," Peter said.
"That's true," Remus agreed.
"Well, we're still probably gonna get in trouble," I said.
After a few minutes Anthony came up and told us that Professor McGonagall wanted to speak with us. We slowly walked down the stairs. Sirius was muttering every bad word he knew under his breath.
"Mr. Peach told me that you boys were planning a prank," Professor McGonagall said. "Is that true?"
"Yes," I said deciding that I might do better at reasoning with Professor McGonagall than Sirius who would be cursing at her.
"So Mr. Potter, you were lucky Mr. Peach stopped you from doing it aren't you?"
"Yes," I said.
"If you had pulled the prank, whatever it would have been, Gryffindor could have lost up to 100 house points. I'm taking away 5 points from each of you and giving Mr. Peach 20 points. Be happy Gryffindor remains at the same total of points." Then she walked out of the common room.
"I still can't believe Anthony framed us," Remus said.
"I knew he was a freak, but I didn't think he was that stupid!" Sirius said.
"Well he is and we can't trust him for further pranks," I said. We then walked down to breakfast. When we got back to the common room Lily and Hope were waiting for us to hear what had happened.
"Well, we were gonna pull a prank on Remus' brother," I said and then told them the whole story.
"That's so terrible of him," Hope said after we had finished.
"Yeah, what a jerk, at least we didn't loose any house points," Lily said.
"How could someone possibly be so concerned about getting in trouble? He's so stupid. We can't trust him with anything, God!" Sirius yelled.
"Well anyway," I said trying to change the subject before Sirius could get a chance to curse and make a fool of himself in front of the girls. "I can't wait till quidditch starts."
"Neither can I. I love quidditch! I wonder if our team is any good," Lily said.
"It better be," Sirius said.
We talked for a while until the girls had to go to the library to do research for a Defense Against the Dark Arts essay.
***
On Friday, I walked to the quidditch game with Sirius, Remus, Peter, Lily, and Hope (we had become friends with them.) We were all very excited and we had a big banner with the Gryffindor lion on it that we had all worked on earlier in the week. We sat down next to the other Gryffindors. Soon the Gryffindor team walked out across the field in scarlet and gold robes. The Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs cheered very loud. The players on the Gryffindor team were Kristina Haubrich, Thomas Wood, Oliver Volkor, Jordan Abarck, Courtney Harvey, Angel Millet, and Christopher Bell.
"I didn't know Kristina was on the quidditch team," Lily said.
"Yeah, she is. Amber said she's the only second year on the team. She must be really good," Hope said.
"What position does she play?" Lily asked.
"Seeker," Hope replied.
"Woah! She must be really good!" I said.
The Ravenclaw team then came out onto the field and the Ravenclaws and Slytherins cheered while Sirius booed very loud. Madame Hooch made the team captains, Oliver Volker and William Fore, shake hands. Then they mounted their brooms and on her whistle they took off. Kristina and Kristin Samel immediately started looking for the Snitch. Larry Jordan, a Gryffindor fourth year was doing the commentary for the match.
"The Quaffle is taken by Angel Miller, a very good chaser for of course Gryffindor, good job avoiding that Bludger sent by William Fore. Come on Angel hold on, NO Ravenclaw in possession, be careful Thomas he's fast. Oh no Lance Bass scores for Ravenclaw. The score is 10-0. Christopher Bell now has the Quaffle for Gryffindor, he passes it to Courtney Harvey, a very good looking chaser-"
"JORDAN!" Professor McGonagall yelled.
"Sorry Professor. Courtney still in possession, careful of the Bludger, oh man! Courtney nearly got hit by a Bludger hit by Andrew Paple and now Lance has the Quaffle again and he scores for Ravenclaw. Now the score is 20-0. Where is the Snitch?"
"Well I know one thing about the Gryffindor team," Sirius said.
"What?" I asked.
"That Thomas Wood is definitely not good enough to be a keeper."
"He's not that bad, it's just that Lance is really good, if only he had gotten sorted into Gryffindor. Look!" I said pointing Kristina.
"The Snitch is spotted by Kristina Haubrich, come on catch it. Now the Ravenclaw seeker, Kristin Samel flies over to Kristina but is too late because Kristina already caught it! Gryffindor wins! The final score is 150-20!"
The Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs were screaming, cheering, and clapping.
Later that day we had a party in the common room to celebrate Gryffindor's victory. We stayed up till 1 and partied!
