CHAPTER 8

James looked towards the door, and there was Severus Snape in the billowing black Hogwarts teaching robes with a look with complete shock and revulsion on his face.

"What the Hell is going on?" He sneered, once he had slightly got over the sudden shock.

"Nothing." James said rather quietly.

"Nothing eh? It didn't look like nothing." He gave an evil twisted smile. "Always thought there was something not completely straight about you Potter."

"I'm not gay." James said simply, Snape as always ignored him.

"Must be something genetic because I don't think Harry is that straight either."

Anger started to build up in James as he looked at the man who was now suddenly older than him. It was quite strange thinking that Snape really was the same age as them but then again not. "Harry is not gay, and either am I!"

"Really, that's why I saw you and Black kissing."

"We were not kissing! And I am not gay!"

"Hey I resent that." Sirius muttered.

"Sorry Sirius,"

Snape sneered once more and turned towards Sirius. "Look's as though I'm finding out some secrets eh?"

"Yeah well, I think some ones bitter."

Snapes' smile left his face.

"Harry isn't gay, he agreed that Roughy the Vampire Slayer was good looking."

"Buffy!" Remus said. Sirius shot daggers at him.

"Whatever, and personally Snape why don't you just shut up, or you might have nose job a la Prongs."

Snape scoffed. "Indeed Potter, I believe you. But there definitely is something about young Harry, which isn't right. Maybe that you're now taken, his mother's free."

Even though James had no idea who Harry's mother was or is, (Very complicated) James was disgusted at the idea of Snape getting his slimy hands on the woman he'd one day love, whoever she was. Snape soon found James' fist in His eye then again in his nose. James heard a crack as his nose broke.

Sneering some more Snape left for the hospital wing. James turned towards the other two who looked rather shocked. "Looks as though I broke his nose…again. I'll leave you two in peace."



James walked up to the common room and Peter was getting swallowed by questions from Fred and George Weasley.

"People, don't go into the abandoned classroom on the fourth floor. Unless you want to be shocked for the rest of you life. Also, sorry. I think your next potions lesson is going to be utter Hell." James told every one.

"Why?" Some one asked slowly.

"Well, I kinda have a lot of pride, and Snape, being Snape decided to be an annoying prick like normal. And I kinda broke his nose…again, and gave him a black eye…again."

Every one was laughing and moaning at the same time. Some one giving Snape a broken nose was definitely funny, but Snape's reaction to it. Not so funny.

James went and sat next to Harry "Hey."

Harry smiled slightly, "he's gonna be really mad at me. You not doing anything for ten years that was bad enough."

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking. "I was thinking of you though!"

"Why?"

"He called you gay."

"WHAT!" Harry exploded standing up so every one was looking at him. "I am not gay!"

"I know!" James defended. "Was there anything that made him think you were?"

Harry shook his head dumbly, "No." He bit his lip. "I really don't know. Maybe Snape is just being annoying like normal."

"If it helps he said I was gay too just because I was hugging Sirius. Then he said maybe that I'm taken your mother's free in our time. So I hit him, even though I have no idea who your mother is."

Harry looked horrified. "Does he have a crush on some one at school?"

James shrugged, "Well Remus is positive that he's head over heals with this girl in our house. Oh what's her name?"

"Like I'd know."

"Oi Peter what's that swotty girl in our house, that Rem is certain Snape has a crush on?"

"Oh Lily Evans."

"Yeah her," he turned back to Harry. "Lily Evans."

Harry however had heard what Peter had said and looked like he had seen a ghost. All the colour had left his cheeks.

"Snape," he said extraordinary slowly. "Had a crush on my mother?" then again a bit faster and a bit loader. "Snape had a crush on my Mother? My mother."

"I dunno, he just has a crush on Lily, maybe your mother as well."

Harry laughed rather hysterically. "She is was whatever. She is my mother. Hence the eyes. Please, I thought you'd guessed it by now."

"Sirius had, she is so weird. So completely and utterly unlike me. Well I guess I own Sirius an apology."

They spent the rest of the night talking about nothing of any importance whatsoever. Just stuff. Harry explained in detail the Quidditch world cup and the broom Sirius had given him how it was the best there was. How he had the map via the Weasley twins and the cloak via Dumbledore. And all the time James just listened to his son's life and he was happy, that Harry didn't mourn for him that much just got on with life. But then James thought 'Probably thinks having Parents is a bit weird.'

But then midnight sounded and James went to bed. He took a note that Sirius and Remus didn't come back from the classroom.
