He's just got a hard exterior… You're welcome for reviewing! And thank you for taking time off of your busy schedule to review mine.
-ON WITH ZEE STORY-
They all looked at him blankly.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Lily demanded. Sirius shook his head, grinning.
"Remus is the most sensible out of all of us. When he says something like that, he means you have to think about what it means at night."
"So…where'd you get that line, anyway?" Peter asked. Remus' head snapped up, as he had been looking away.
"I'm sorry, what? I just read that sign over there…something about dragons. What were we talking about again?" Remus said softly, quirking a brow.
"Sensible, huh?" Lily asked, looking at Sirius, annoyed.
"Out of all of us." The longish-haired boy replied, grinning sheepishly.
~-~-~
"James, why are you acting in such a manner?"
"…What manner."
"You know what I mean. The way you've been acting toward your friends. Something wrong?" the man asked, the usual twinkle in his eyes fading a bit. James shifted uncomfortably.
"No…nothing's wrong. I mean…" he replied, really unsure of how to respond. The white-haired man nodded, standing up.
"James, any time you need to talk, I'll be here. The password will be one of those delectable muggle sweets." Dumbledore said kindly, plopping a truffle into his mouth. "Would you like one?" James grinned, shaking his head.
"No thank you…I'll take you up on your offer about the talk sometime, Headmaster." He said finally, showing himself out. Thinking about their conversation they had just had, he became puzzled once more. Everything had always worked out for him. No one noticed anything was wrong. He had gotten the girls, good friends, he was popular. He had everything.
"Of course, Moony chastised me once in a while…" he recalled out loud, but shook the thought. Everything was going swell for him. Everything. Nothing was wrong. But, for some reason, what Dumbledore had told him made him think. What if things weren't going as he had thought they were.
~-~-~-
"Stand aside, woman."
"No, take me, not him! Please!"
"I said, stand ASIDE!"
A bright green flash of light lit the room, causing James to wake up in mid-scream. Looking around, he saw Padfoot in his own bed next to his, as always, but his eyes were wide open.
"You okay, Prongs?" he asked worriedly.
"Yeah, fine. Just a bad dream, that's all…" he replied, scratching the back of his neck.
"Want to talk about it?" Sirius offered, sitting up. James bit his lip. He sort of wanted to talk about it, to tell him about his dream, like they did when they were little. For some reason, though, there was something about it that he wanted to keep secretive.
"No…No, that's okay. I'm 'lright. Really." He responded, grinning. Sirius nodded, settling back to bed. Feeling another person with eyes on him, he turned around to see Remus up as well.
"You can talk to us about anything, you know. We're supposed to be best friends." The light-brown haired boy said, irritated.
"What do you mean…?" the messy-haired boy responded, placing his glasses on.
"I MEAN best friends don't keep secrets from each other. And they don't act like such bastards around each other, even if they act that way around other people." He replied casually, turning over.
"Oh, like that isn't acting like a bastard right there." James fumed.
"No, it wasn't. It was acting like a friend. A friend who wants their BEST friend back."
--x--
All done for now. *bows* How you like? It's not that long…ah well. Xx; I tried. Does it meet up to your likings? Reviewness! Sayonara.
