Chapter 2 James Potter. There's only one word to describe him. Well not really HIM. But his passion. His life. His world. The one thing he loved more than anything else...His Nike shoes. No one came within 10 feet of them. They were kept in a glass case. That was charmed so no one could touch them. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY messed around with James Potter when he was having quiet time with his Nike shoes. Sirius once made the mistake of interrupting James's quiet time with his Nike's. He walked around for the rest of the month with pink underwear above his head.

But there was more to James than his Nikes. He had a soft side, when he saw his Nikes. He had a humorous side, when he was with his Nikes. He had an angry side. When he wasn't with his Nikes. And all the pranks he ever pulled, were in honor of his beloved Nikes.

But, for the first time in 8 years, a thought had entered his head. That didn't have to do with Nikes. James was shocked. Wow! He thought, this is the first thought I've had in 8 years! How could I be so unloyal! But his thought was about one of the Brithicks. The one who wore her hair in limp, dirty braids visible underneath the straw hat she always wore. It seemed to him, that her straw hat was as important to her as his Nikes were to her. But then he thought, no one could love and object that wasn't a human as much as him. Ever. Anyway, about that brithick. He thought her name was Lily, she was sorta weird he thought. He never had the heart to play a prank on her. But she seemed a likely candidate for one of his competiting pranksters. She was quiet, she was shy, and she a half British half Iowan hick accent. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

James was worried. He kept on thinking of Lily, and then his beloved Nikes. He felt very unloyal and decided to have a quiet session with his Nikes soon. But for the time being he began to think of Lily again.

After an hour of pulling pranks in honor of his Nikes, he went to his room to have his daily quiet session with his Nikes. He walked into his room. And... HIS NIKES WEREN'T THERE!!!!!!! He passed out there and then. Right in that spot.

He woke up a week later in the hospital wing. The shock still hurting his system. He saw Sirius and Remus in front of his face. "Nikes.." He hoarsely whispered. " Nikes! Where are my Nikes?" Remus sadly shook his head. "They have been taken." " NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" James cried His beloved Nikes had been stolen. By the only people capable of pulling such a prank. The Brithicks! DUN DUN DUN.....
