James arrived at Diagon Alley, his glasses askew. He went to Fortuscue's
for some ice-cream and that was where he and Sirius had planned to meet. He
waited a while before he heard someone shout 'James!'. He looked up it was
Sirius. 'How are you?'.
'Fine'
'Whets that crap you owled me about being made Head Boy? Anyway let's go.
Moony is 'ill' and wormtail is staying with his Gran.
First they went to Gringots to get their money. James had a small amount
left but he was sure it would cover the cost of his supplies. First they
went to the Apothecary, and then the Book shop where Sirius bought James a
book called [I] Advanced Charms and Hexes [/I]. He said that the map was
nothing really and he had a copy himself. Lastly they went to their
favorite shop. Anew Broom was displayed on the counter, A Cleansweep Seven.
It was a good Broom but James had a Limited Edition Cleansweep Eight. They
looked over the books and supplies. James was busy staring at a book called
Seekers Aren't Weepers when his eye caught something walking outside. He
gazed. It was a very pretty Girl called Janet. She was walking with her
friend Lily who had her arm around Hufflepuf keeper Todd. He was a tall boy
with brown hair that he always kept combed. He tried hard in all his
subjects and would have probably been Head Boy had James not been made.
James despised of Todd, but his heart rose when the three stopped out side
Quality Quiditch Supplies. James had had a crush on Janet since the end of
last term when she walked into their carriage. She had Brown hair and deep
blue eyes. He had always had the courage to ask a girl out but this time he
couldn't.
'Go on James; ask her to Hogsmeade'said Sirius pushing him towards the door. 'No, Sirius. I'll ask her to a ball. You can't just go up to a girl and ask if she will spend a day with you in Hogsmeade'. 'Why not?' 'Because, they think it's rude' said James thinking fast. 'Humph, my ass. You're scared. Well then at least talk to her' 'Ok' said James as he went to the door. 'Hi Todd, Hi Janet and Lily'. His eyes left his head as he saw a Head Girl badge on the chest of Lily. 'So uh, did you guys have a good summer?' he managed to say looking at everyone but Janet. 'Yes, it was great. Those Muggles sure know hot to entertain themselves' said Lily. She did not really know James and wondered why he had started talking to them but she enjoyed it all the same. All she knew was that he was top of the class in every subject (except those he didn't take, and muggle Studies) and that he was always the first to get a Date to any balls or events. Janet seemed to have had a loss of words as well so Lily said 'See ya on the train' and dragged her two mates out of the way. 'He so fancies you' said lily as they walked. 'Yes' she heard Janet say in a whisper. 'And you him' said Todd with a Grin. 'No I don't, of course I don't you think I'll fall for a Marauder, hey? She said coming out of her trance. 'Ok calm down' said lily as the headed to the leaky Cauldron leaving the Wizarding world behind them.
'Isn't she hot' said James. 'Depends how you look at her'. 'How did I do?' 'Fine, need to work on your 'charm up' line though' 'So, how was summer Sirius...
The time flew and before James knew it he was out of the house, into the car, and on his way to Kings Cross where he would catch the train at Platform 9 and three quarters. The only tricky bit of course was getting through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. But James was yet to fail. The prefects and Heads had a carriage to themselves at the front of the train but James could not be bothered and he wanted to talk to his friends. He had his Head Boy badge pinned to his chest but hidden under his jersey. He was to embarrassed that anyone would find out.
He went to the back of the train as usual and found Sirius Peter and Lupin already waiting.
'Took your time eh!' they said with smiles on their faces.
The chatted for awhile thinking up new ideas to 'get at' the Slytherins until Remus bought up the topic about the New Head Boy and Girl.
'Wonder who the New Head Girl is' he said thoughtfully.
'No need to wonder we already know' replied Sirius.
'Who is it then'
'That, Janet's friend, what's her name again James?'
'Lily' James replied with a smile. He was glad because he was sure they would get along and she might help him find out about Janet.
'So, still trying for Head Boy are you' said Peter. All three of them burst out laughing.
'That was the most unconvincing piece of shyte you've ever come up with!' roared Lupin.
'Why would they want you as Head Boy when they have Todd' he said Todd with moan.
'Oh, no! Bet you he is going to take the job well Sirius'.
'What can we do to him to make his first day a lot better' said Sirius with a sly Grin.
'Go on James; ask her to Hogsmeade'said Sirius pushing him towards the door. 'No, Sirius. I'll ask her to a ball. You can't just go up to a girl and ask if she will spend a day with you in Hogsmeade'. 'Why not?' 'Because, they think it's rude' said James thinking fast. 'Humph, my ass. You're scared.
