Chapter 2
Arabella shot a death glare to the boys before going to find James. After a hour or so of searching she found him in the library with his nose in a book.
"Quidditch Through the Ages," she said pointing to his book, "that's one of my favorites." She sat down beside him.
"Hello Arabella," James said pleasantly.
"You know there's a Hogsmade trip coming up," Arabella said.
"Really?" he didn't remove his eyes from the book.
"Do you have any plans?" Arabella asked resisting the temptation to yank that book right out of his hands.
"No," James still didn't peel his eyes from the book.
"So do you want to go with me?" she asked slowly.
"Huh?" James said still staring at the book.
Arabella rolled her eyes and then just gave in. She ripped the book out of his hands and waved it tantalizingly over his head.
"Give it back!" James pleaded.
"I shan't give you nothing unless you say you'll go to Hogsmade with me," she laughed.
"Ok Saturday at noon," James said looking longingly at his book.
"Alright," Arabella took off running book still in grasp.
"Hey," James started running after her.
They chased each other around the castle until around four when they were both exhausted, laying in the Charms corridor.
"That was fun," Arabella panted.
"Yeah," he smiled, "you should steal my book more often."

Soon the whole school knew that Arabella Figg and James Potter were going out. A month later Arabella found Lily in the girls' dorm.
"Hey," Lily smiled.
"Lily?" Arabella looked at her shoes.
"Yah?"
"What do you think of James and I going out?"
"He's an… err… interesting choice."
"Oh,"
That night Arabella found Remus and Sirius in the kitchen.
