School Days

Author's Note: This fic was done because I was just reading a story about back when James Potter and the others were young, so I decided to try it out for fun. Also for the fun of things I've James as the Quiddtich team Seeker. I know he wasn't, but what the heck! Arthur and Sirius are also on the team. This is a fanFIC after all, and its all for fun! So please no flames. And as for ages, I don't know how much older or younger everyone is so please bear with me.

"I told you, you were sick." Said Arthur as the team, Molly, Cassie, and Lily gathered around Sirius's bed in the hospital wing. He groaned and pulled his pillow over his head. The team did win the match but as soon as he got off his broom, Sirius had collapsed on the spot.

"You guys are horrible!" he whined. Cassie shook her head and pushed some hair out of Sirius's sweaty face. She looked at the others with a slight frown.

"Why don't you go away and leave poor Sirius alone." She ordered. Arthur frowned.

"Oh please, Cassie. Its no our fault Sirius is a stubborn prat." Said her older brother pointedly. Cassie glared at him and moved across the room, shoving the all out and slamming the door after them. Lily shook her head and grinned up at Arthur.

"She really loves that boy, doesn't she?" she asked, causing the red head to frown.

"Cassie is only 16 years old."

"She'll be turning 17 next month." Said Molly, narrowing her eyes at her boyfriend.

"And sirius will be turning 18 a few months after that!" announced Arthur. "She's only a sixth year." Molly glared at her boyfriend and then walked ahead.

"I don't care what you say Arthur. Cassie is old enough to tell if she's in love or no and I DON'T want you messing with hers and Sirius's relationship." She said, and walked off. Arthur scowled and began muttering under his breath.

"You had better go after her, Arthur. Mind you, the ball is tonight and she IS your date." Remus reminded him. Arthur let out a sigh and nodded before running after Molly. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lily smiled brightly at herself in her mirror as she looked a herself in her dress robes. "You look lovely dear! Absolutely splendid." Lily grinned and blushed a little before Mai came and grinned at her side, pulling her hair up in a fancy bun.

"So, you looking forward with spending an entire evening with Mr. James Potter?" she asked. Lily grinned innocently at her friend.

"That was my plan. Why?" she asked and Mai grinned.

"Well, people usually don't stay inside when it comes to balls you know. They end up in another part of the castle and all." Lily rolled her eyes.

"You don't have to hint around, I'm not that naïve." She informed, causing her friend to laugh.

"Yeah, and you better hope James isn't either. Mind you, he IS best friends with Sirius Black and Remus Lupin." She informed. Lily nodded and smiled at herself in the mirror.

"Don't worry. I doubt he'll be thinking about pranks when he sees me." She informed. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"This is dungbombs we're talking about, Prongs!" whispered Sirius in annoyance as the group stood outside the Great Hall waiting for their dates. He held up the bag of dungbombs and waved I in James's face. "No party is complete without them." He informed knowingly.

"Well this party will be. I'm head boy, Padfoot. I can't go off playing childish games."

"hat never stopped us before." Muttered Remus, continuing to straighten the color of his robes in nervousness. James rolled his eyes at his friends.

"Come on you two. Just for tonight anyway. I want to impress Lily with more than just my stunning good looks." He informed proudly, the glasses sliding a little down his face. Sirius looked down at his friend with a raised eyebrow. He was a good two inches taller than James, so he felt superior.

"You just keep telling your self that, Prongs. I'm sure you'll get through the night just fine." He then grinned and ran up to Cassie, holding his arm out and beaming at his friends as he led her into the Great Hall. Soon Sandra arrived with Lily, and James went red. Remus was going with Sandra because his other date was going with someone else, and Sandra wanted to go with a guy that she could have fun with.

"I hope Finnigan appreciates this." Remus said, holding his arm out. Sandra grinned.

"He's a muggle. He won' know what's going on." She piped and they entered the Hall. James grinned at lily shyly and forced an embarrassed laugh.

"You look fantastic." He said and she grinned, going up and kissing his cheek.

"Only the best for you, Potter." She said and looked towards the door.

"Shall we?" James asked and Lily giggled.

"I'd love to."
