JAMES POINT OF VIEW By: rickann THE TRUTH ABOUT REMUS

YEAR ONE-CHAPTER NINE VALENTINES DAY

The next week and a 1/2 past like nothing had changed except me and Sirius tried to think of ways to help Remus, but it was no use. And Ryan no longer liked Lily and I was guessing he now liked Heather; which was big quinines seeing how Lily was getting annoyed w/ him and Heather thought he was a major babe. (I over heard Lily and Heather talking about this one night when I left my book in the common room and went to get it around 12 o'clock when I heard them.) On the 14th Sirius woke up early and started to through pillow at Remus and me tell we woke up.

"Hey guys wake up." He hissed across the room.

"Whathemattr?" I asked trying to wake up.

"I just thought of the best pranks to pull this morning." At this Remus and me ran over to his bed so he could tell us his plane. He whispered the plane and we went to the girl's dorm through the elf passage w/ my invisible cloak on.

The plane was to put a sign on each girl's clothes, that would flash pink and red behind them. The charm would last for 15 hours. I made Lilly and Heather, Sirius did the twins and Remus did Nicole's and then decided to turn all of Ryan and Peters robes pink for the day too. When we got done the signs read 'HOTTIE (Rickie and Janine's), MAJOR BABE (On Nicole's and Heather's) and DEAD SEXIE (on Lily's)'.

We then went down to the common room and started to talk about what girl we liked. Sirius had gotten over Lily and now liked Rickie. Remus had finally emitted he liked Nicole kind of, but didn't know for sure. Mean heck where only 11 soon to be 12.

"So James who do you like?" Sirius said looking at me w/ an evil grin.

"You have to ask him Sirius." Remus said w/ the same smile. "I mean it's so ova's he likes Lily..."

"I DO NOT LIKE LILY!!!" I shouted. I really didn't like any one at the time.

"Yes you do or you wouldn't be going red right now." Sirius lied.

"You guys I'm not going red and I don't like Lily like that. I only like her as a friend."

"Then why do you spend every sec. you can w/ her?" Sirius said.

"I do not. And unlike some people..." I stared at Sirius. "I don't go for the same girl that one of my friend likes."

"Hey, I liked her before Ryan did. It's not my fault Lily flirts so much and every guy that sees her likes her. Right Remus?"

"NO!"

"What do you mean no?"

"I mean N-O, not every guy that sees her likes her. And she not as big as a flirt as Heather is."

"Whatever! Any ways James who do you like?"

"No one."

"Yeah right we told you now you have to tell us."

"Like I said no one. I mean give me a break I'm only 11 almost 12. And what's the point of having a crush on some one when I can't date tell I'm 13."

"What ever you just don't want to get caught codling again by your dad." Sirius said. I had only told Sirius about that.

"What is Sirius talking about James? Did you get caught codling w/ some girl?"

"Yes, his dad found him asleep w/..."

"SHUT UP SIRIUS!!!"

"Hey I'm interested now. What happen James?" Remus asked w/ an evil grin like Sirius. I waved my hand for Sirius to continue. All the while my face got redder and redder.

"Well you remember the night of James Christmas party?"

"Yeah."

"Well you see after everyone had gone home, except for Lily's family, James and Lily decided to watch Frankenstein on t.v."

"What's Frankenstein?"

"It's a scary movie about some mad scientist. But any ways Lily was really jumpy. She would jump at the slightest sound. Wheel it was the scariest part of the show when someone turn on the water in the kitchen. This freaked Lily so bad that she jumped really high and ended up in James lap. After getting her a little clam down she sat next to James. But according to James she was still really jumpy so he put his hands around her waist." Sirius said this next part in disbelief. "He said he just wanted her to stop jumping Avery 5 sec. Yeah right more like he was tr..."

"SIRIUS"

"Ok anyway, apparently they fell asleep like this and when his dad walked in the room he saw Lily laying on the couch w/ her head on James chest. James had his arms tightly around Lily and had one leg on each side so it looked like she was setting in his lap. Actual James got a picture of it upstairs in his trunk."

"How you know I had it w/ me?" I said confused. I hadn't told any one that I had brought that picture "Sirius have you been going through my stuff?" I asked in what should be a mad voice, but I wasn't really made as I had gone through his stuff at least once sense we were friends.

"No I saw it when you asked me to get your clock remember." All of a sudden I noticed that Remus was on the ground laughing.

"What it's not funny. My dad almost killed me."

"Oh y-yes it i-is. Yo-you and Li-Lily fell a-sleep to-together t- twice now." When he said this I remembered the time he had found us in the common room.

"WHAT! WHEN WAS THE FIRST TIME JAMES?"

"I'm not telling you. You'll kill me."

"Fine Remus when was the first time?" Remus stopped laughing realizing what he had just said. He gave me a worried look but I just nod it was ok. I mean heck he would find out some other way.

"While the morning after Halloween I walked in at sunrise to find Lily and James asleep on this couch. I went over to them and woke them up. They told me not to tell anyone because James didn't want Ryan mad at him. He never did tell me why they where asleep down here in the first place. Why was that James?"

"Sorry guys but I can't tell you that. And Sirius you have to believe me nothing happen. I told Remus not to say any thing because I didn't want you made a..." But I never finished Because the rest of the gang came down stairs looking madder then ever. "Hey guys what's the matter?" I said in my most innocent voice.

"JAMES POTTER I"M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!" Lily yelled and started to chase me around the room and yelling every jink she know. But I was to fast for her and dodge them all. After every one cooled off we started to walk to the great hall.

"So how long does these spells last?" Heather said. "Umm...I believe that the signs still have another 14 hours and the robes last tell 8 tonight." Remus said and flashed the girls one of those smiles that works on most girls, but not these girls they were to tick at us to notice.

"You'll pay for this you three. You do know that this means war." Janine said and w/ that the girls walked head of us, talking in a low voice.

"We'll at least you 2 aren't mad at us." Sirius said to Ryan and Peter. They just looked at each other then walked faster to catch up to the girls. But the girls apparently told them to get lost because they walked even faster then them and headed for the great hall by them selves.

"They'll cool down by tonight and will forget all about getting us back. You'll see." I said. But this didn't reassure any of us and we walked in quiet. When we got to the great hall we sat down bye the girls, but they just moved over so that two-second year guys could set in-between them.

After about 10 min. the mail arrived. I was surprised when an owl dropped a letter in my plate. I opened it up and read:

Dearest James, I think you're most hottest, smartest and funniest guy in the world. I live each day in hope that you'll notice me. But every day my hopes are shattered when I see you w/ that muggle red head girl. Ever night I pray that you'll be mind one day. Then I dream that I'm setting in your lap and staring into your pale blue eyes that's always filled w/ laughter and life. I run my fingers through your mess jet-black hair and you hold me closer. Then all of a sudden you kiss me w/ your soft tender lips. But like all dreams they end. I cant wait tell my dream comes true and it will never end. Tell that day I'll have to live w/ my dreams and seeing you in potions. Love, The only girl for you.

"What's that James?" Remus said.

"Nothing" I said and tried to hide it behind my back. But at that moment Ryan walked bye and grabbed it out of my hands. Then he read it in the girlies tone he could moister. I could fell my self-go redder every sec. he read it. Why he was reading it Sirius and Remus both got a letter too but didn't notice it because they were laughing so hard they fell off there chairs.

"Hey look Sirius and Remus also got love letters too." Peter said and waved to open letters in his hand. At that Sirius and Remus stopped laughing and tried to grab them out off Peter's hand but Ryan tock one and started to read Remus's out loud. At this point he had the whole halls attain.

"Dearest Remus, I love you sooooo much. Why don't you notice me like you notice those five girls you hang around? Every day I stare at you during class or when you pass me in the hall. Every night I dream about your chocolate brown eyes looking into my eyes, while you hold me tight w/ those muscle arms of yours. After a while you kiss me w/ those strong soft lib's. I can hardly wait tell my dreams come true and I can live inn your arms and live happily ever after. Tell then I'll just have to live w/ dreams and seeing you laugh your sweet laugh and flash your smile in potions. Love always. The girl of your dreams.

After Ryan read this; the whole hall cracked up laughing at Remus who was bright red. After it quieted down Peter read Sirius in a girly tone.

"My dearest Sirius. You are the sexiest thing I have ever seen. Your eyes remind me of a stormy day and your smile makes me go week at the knees. Every night I dream of you holding me tight and kissing me w/ your soft tender lips. I can't wait tell the day I'm in your strong arms and all my dermas come true. But tell the day you notice me I'll keep my love hidden. I can't wait to see you today in potions when I can see your gorgeous smile. Love enemies." When Peter finished reading every one in the hall was laughing so hard that more then half was on the ground laughing. Even Remus and I had forgotten about are letters and were laughing. The only people not laughing were Sirius and Pro. M., all the other teachers were even laughing quietly or suppressing the laugher.

"Shut up you two. I'm not the only one who got a letter remember." Sirius spat at Remus and me. We both shut up and all three of us started to walk to potions as quickly as we could. When we reached the door Ryan finally stopped laughing and yelled across the room so that every one heard.

"STOP YOU THREE. THE LETERS WERNT RELL. ME AND PETER WROTE AND READ THEM OUT LOUD TO GET YOU BACK FOR EVERY THING EXULDING TODAYS PRANKS." At these words we turn around and started to head to Ryan and Peter. We were going to kill them but Pro. M. got to them first and started to yell at them.

"I CANT BELIVE YOU TWO DID THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS. YOU'LL BOTH RESVE DETATION. NOW GET TO CLASS BEFOR I TAKE AWAY POINTS TOO."

Every one started to laugh as they both ran out off the room saying they were sorry on there way out to us. Remus Sirius and me flawed them out and went to class were we so Ryan and Peter laughing with the girls. Then Ryan managed to say "You better not do that when Pro. Oquirrh (are new potion teacher. She seemed to hat all Gryffindors and love Slytherin exspeshill (sp) Malfoy and his co.) is in the room. She'll kill you."

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked as I sat in my set next to Lily.

"Nothing" They all said together. I was going to ask more but Pro. Oquirrh came into the room followed by the rest of the class.

The lesson went as usual. So did the rest of the day, tell half way through history of Magic. Pro. Binnes was talking about the goblin war in 1913 when all of a sudden an epic of chalk started to write, all on its own:

Foxy thinks James Potter is the hottest guy on the plant. He's also funny and smart. Not many people could think of half the pranks he pulls.

Nuts agrees, well beside his friend Remus Lupin, who thinks of them too.

Eucalyptus thinks Remus is the sweetest cutes guy on the plant, and it's hard sometimes to think he could come up w/ such evil planes like his friend Sirius Black.

Chipper thinks Sirius is the hottest guy at school. He's also the bad boy of the group.

Nibbles thinks you're all right. James is smartest of the group, Remus is the sweets of the group, and Sirius is defiantly the bad boy of the group. But they're all funny and major hotties. And no matter how mad you get at those three they always have a way of getting you to forgive them.

Foxy: For James he looks you into the eyes w/ those pale blue eyes and says, with a smile to die for, he's sorry and while do any thing to make it up. Some how he hipmatiz'es (sp) you w/ those pale blue eyes and you say its ok.

Eucalyptus: Where as Remus flashes you his smile, that makes you go weak at the knees, and gets down on his knees and pleads for forgiveness. You can't help but laugh and forgive him.

Chipper: Now for Sirius he tries a different approach. He has this puppy dog face that makes you think you're the one that did something wrong because he looks so much like a lost hurt puppy. When he looks you into the eyes with that sad expression on his face and he ask for forgiveness all you can do is hug him and say you forgive him.

Love, The Siren

P.S. Just a little advice for you girls (From Nuts) don't fall for these scams. There just trying to get out of trouble. Now ladies we have warned you. If ether one is ever a jerk don't look at their face when they apologize or you're domed to forgiving them. We could go on forever about these three but Pro. Binnes looks like he suspects something. So for now on just take our advice and stay away from these three. Bye.

At this the whole class started to laugh at the three red face boys. Pro. Binnis who didn't realize what was going on stopped his lesson and started to look around the room. But Janine had herded and erased the bored when her turn was over. Pro. Binnis, after 10 min. of none stop laughter, gave up on trying to teach and told the class "You are dismissed, will you please write me 1 foot easy on what we talked about today. It is to hand in by next lesson. Bye."

Every one got up and left as fast as they could. Once out side the girls feel down on the grown laughing there heads off. A sec. later Peter and Ryan joined them and the three red faced boys stood there giving them draggers of looks. Finally after about a min. of this Remus was the first to talk. It surprised the girls on what he said because we weren't mad just wanted to know who was who. "So which on of you are Eucalyptus?" At this the seven stopped laughing and stood up.

"What you guys aren't mad at us?" Lily said and pointed at the girls in disbelief.

"Nah why should we be made?"

"That was no were as embarrassing as this morning was."

"Yeah like I said we just want to know who is who. And how you guys came up with those names. So who is Eucalyptus?"

"Where not telling you. You'll have to beat it out of us." Nicole said and stoke her tongue out at Remus who in turn said "Ok if you say so." and started to chase Nicole down the hall trying to hit her w/ the tickling charm seeing how she was the must ticklish. But half way to the common room Nicole disarmed Remus so now he was just going to have to tickle her bye him self. Soon they were out of site and the rest of us walked up together laughing and talking about every thing we had done to each other.

By time we opened the prorate and walked in there was no one in there seeing how class stile had a good 20 min. left. But by the girls staircase we saw Nicole on the grown laughing so hard she was crying because Remus was tickling her sides. "S-STO-PP HA HA HA PLLLLLL-EA-SEEEEEEEE HA HA HA." Nicole squalid in-between laughs.

"Not tell you say your sorry and give me back my wand little missy."

"Ok Ok! I'm Sorry!" Nicole said and through Remus wand at him. He caught it and Nicole ran as fast as she could away from Remus and hid behind Sirius so he wouldn't us the tickling charm on her.

"Hey that wasn't very nice." Remus said and flopped into a chair near the fire. The rest of us fold and sat down by the fire too. Peter, Ryan and Sirius took the other chairs and the girls, except Lily, took the couch; so Lily and me stretched out on the floor.

We all sat there staring at the fire and doing our History easy. Bye time every one else got done w/ class we were done w/ History and starting on are Tran. homework. We were suppose to draw the three steps of turning a stuff bar into a pair of silver teddy bear earrings.

"So does any one know the second step?" Peter asked after giving up looking in the book. We all know the first and last step. The first step was to get a stuff bare and the last was to have the earrings. Every one looked at me.

"Why is it you always assume I'll know the answer?"

"We don't always assume you'll know the answer. Just when it comes to Tran. do we assume, because you're the best at it?"

"Oh in that case it's when you shrink and make a clone of the bear."

"Thanks!" Every one said and started to do their second drawing. Bye time we're done it was time for dinner. After dinner we all went back to the common room and played Exploding Snap tell nine then decide to go to bed.
