James Potter Chapter 10

Sirius, Remus, Peter, and I were in the common room. Amber came through the portrait hole after a few minutes.

"Where's Kristina?" she asked.

"She's with Lance," Sirius answered.

"Really?"

"Lance just wanted to talk to her alone for a minute, that's all," I said.

"That's great! She must be so happy!" Just then Kris walked in the room.

"So, what's he say?" Sirius asked.

"Oh, he just wanted to know if I would go to Hogsmeade with him tomorrow."

"And what did you say?" Sirius asked.

"I said no because I don't like him anymore and I don't want him to get the wrong impression."

"What?" Amber screamed.

"You said no? I thought you liked him, you don't anymore?" Sirius said.

"God, I was just joking, of course I said yes," Kris said laughing at our reactions.

"Oh, I thought you were going crazy or something," Amber said.

"Oh, did I tell you that Lance was staring at you during the entire Quidditch match?" I said smiling at how happy Kris was.

"He was? This is so great."

"Yeah, it was kinda freaky, his eyes just kept on following you."

***

The next day Kris went to Hogsmeade with Lance. Amber didn't go because she didn't want to disturb their "date." Sirius was begging me the whole day to take him to Hogsmeade to spy on them, but I didn't want to do that to Kris.

I starting to wonder if Lily would ever stop being mad at us because it had been a month since we had last gone to Hogsmeade and she was still ignoring us. I saw her in the common room and decided to talk to her.

"Lily, wait. I need to talk to you," I said.

"Well I don't want to talk to you," she said.

"Come on Lily, why are you still mad at us?"

"I'm mad at you guys because you lied to me and I'm going to be mad at you until you tell me the truth," she said. "Now go away!"

"No, why do you think we're lying?"

"Because it's so obvious, can't you just tell me?"

"I told you the truth," I almost yelled.

"No you didn't, I know you're lying, I'm good at telling these things. If you want to be friends again then you have to tell me the truth. I don't like people who lie, now leave me alone." She ran up the stairs to her dormitory so I couldn't follow her, I looked for Hope. She was in the library.

"Hi Hope," I said.

"Hello," she said.

"Do you know what's up with Lily?" I asked.

"Yeah, she wants you to tell her the truth."

"But we did."

"James, there's something about you, I don't know what it is, but it's just so obvious when you're lying."

"I thought you believed us," I said.

"I did, but well, I don't anymore, and I'm gonna be mad at you until you tell me the truth too," Hope then got up and went back to the common room.

***

Later that day Sirius, Remus, Peter, and I were in our dormitory.

"I talked to Lily and Hope today," I said. "They're gonna be mad at us until we tell them the truth, they know we're lying."

"Oh, well. I guess we can't be friends with them anymore," Sirius said.

"Sirius, I want to be friends with them," I said.

"But if we're friends with them we won't be able to have any secrets. They'll have to know about your invisibility cloak and stuff."

"Yeah, but I want them as friends."

"Come on James. In a couple of years they'll have forgotten all about this and they'll be all over us cause we'll be the hottest guys in Hogwarts," Sirius said.

"Uh, right," I said. "We're you sniffing whiteout again?"

"No, I haven't gotten any of that stuff since we were friends with Lily. It's a muggle tool. I don't know what it's really for."

"Of we were friends with them you could have all the whiteout you wanted."

"I don't care about whiteout, just forget about Lily and Hope and trust me, they'll like us later."

"But we have to wait like two years to be friends with them."

"Why do you care so much, do you like one of them or something?" Sirius asked me.

"No" I said. "Fine, we just won't tell them."

***

We were waiting in the common room with Amber for Kris to come back so we could hear about her "date" as Sirius and Amber called it. She came in son.

"So, what'd you do on your date?" Sirius asked.

"It wasn't a date. We just walked around and went shopping."

"Oh, well was it fun?" Amber asked.

"Yes, it was very fun."

***

November flew by. With Quidditch practice almost everyday and tons of homework, we didn't have much free time. Dumbledore announced that there would be another Christmas dance for fourth years and up. Kris wished she could go with Lance, but she'd have to wait until next year. There was a Quidditch game between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw won 200-10. Lance scored five times and their new Seeker, Matthew McKinnon caught the Snitch. He was a second year and I was friends with him for a little while, we sat together on the Hogwarts Express in my first year. Brittany Andrews scored once for Hufflepuff, she was also in her second year.

One day at breakfast in early December I saw Lily go over to the Slytherin table and talk to Severus Snape. After a few minutes she came back to the Gryffindor table. I got up and went over to talk to her.

"Lily, why were you talking to that slimeball Snape?" I asked.

"He's not a slimeball, and it's none of your business why I was talking to him."

"It is my business, now answer my question."

"Why do you care so much, are you jealous that I'm friends with Severus now?"

"You're friends with Snape? Since when-"

"Yes, I'm friends with him, you don't even know him and it's not like this is the first time I've talked to him. Now go away, I'd like to eat my breakfast." I went back to Sirius, Remus, and Peter.

"Did you know that Lily was friends with Snape?" I asked.

"Well I kinda guessed that cause she goes over and talks to him everyday," Remus said.

"Oh, well I never noticed," I said.

***

Towards the middle of December Sirius, Remus, Peter, and I started working on the Animagi potion. We snuck into Hogsmeade and Professor Weram's office (the Potion teacher) to get the materials for the potion. We hid it all under a sink in a bathroom. By Christmas break we had all the materials. We all went home for Christmas. I had trouble deciding whether or not to get a present for Lily and Hope. I decided not to because they wouldn't send me anything and I was running low on money. I got Amber some candy and told her to give some to Hope if she was mad that I didn't get her anything. I got everyone else candy and that was pretty much what I got in return.

When we returned to Hogwarts Dumbledore spoke to us. "Welcome back to Hogwarts. Over break Lord Voldemort killed many more people, mostly muggles, but a few people attended Hogwarts. William Fore, Malcolm Kamerly, and Emily McCarfrey died." Rebecca, Christa, Hope, and Lily were all crying about Emily's death. Emily was their roommate. William Fore was the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, now he would have to be replaced. Dumbledore continued speaking, "some people claim that Voldemort had people with him who helped him kill those people, they were described as having masks covering their faces and being dressed in black. Also over some of the recent killing spots there has been a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth hovering above. This is now known as the Dark Mark. Voldemort's followers are called Death Eaters. Please do not worry, we have many Aurors who are trying hard to track him down and he will soon be caught and sent to Azkaban."

"Maybe I should become an Auror," Sirius said. "I seem to be the only person who realizes that none of the people killed so far were in Slytherin."
