Chapter 5 - Good Morning
James opened his eyes to a blur. His head ached and his stomach felt like it could explode at any moment.
As his eyes focused he saw his bedroom looking up at him.
'How did I get home ?' he wondered trying to recall to his mind what he had been doing early in the morning.
He stared at his clock. It was 11 o' clock.
"I want you to come down in an hour son." Came his mother's voice.
Then, from the bunk below, james could here sirus wake up and say,
"What in Merlin's beard ?"
James leaned over the edge of the bunk and to his surprise Amy was fast asleep next to sirus.
"Sirus," James said now catching his eye, "How drunk did you get last night ?"
"Not nearly as drunk as you did." Came a female voice from over his shoulder. It was Lily.
***
"Well we'll see you tomorrow then ?" Sirus said to Amy as the four of them stood on Lily's parents drive way.
"Yeah," Amy said beeming. "We'll all meet up at the Three Broom Sticks."
James nodded at her and then he noticed that Lily was looking worried.
She seemed to spot that he noticed and cheered up a bit.
"Yeah." She said, as if she hadn't been listening, "That'll be nice."
And then Amy kissed sirus on the cheek and they parted.
***
"That was the best night I have ever.." Sirus was talking but James wasn't listening.
Why had Lily looked sad ?
"And when Neville fell off the balcony snd landed in that rosebush.."
It didn't make any sense. She should have been happy.
"And you know what ? Arthur seemed so happy. I know Arthurs always happy but he had an extra glint in his eye last night."
He would ask her tomorrow he decided. Yes, he would ask her in Hogsmeade.
