"James! Wake up!" shouted Sirius, taking a rather large pillow and swatting
it on James's face.
"I'm up.." mumbled James, but pulled his sheets over his head to avoid sunlight.
"Prongs, get up. I'm warning you," said Sirius nonchalantly. James merely grunted while grabbing a pillow and clamping it over his head.
"Fine. There's no alternative left. 'Bye, bye Miss American Pie, drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry, and them boys-!" sang Sirius in the utmost terrible voice.
"Alright! I'm up!" James covered his ears, desperately trying to block out the sound. Still, Sirius kept singing. "I'm up already! Sirius! STOP SINGING! FOR GOODNESS-"
Silence.
"Sake.." James finished quietly. All the boys in the dormitory stared at James, with a slight puzzled look. He cleared his throat and calmly said, "I'll be off now," as though nothing had happened. As he passed Sirius, James muttered, "At least I don't snore! You sound like an elephant deflating itself."
"At least I don't have anger issues! Try Anger Management. But hey, why go that far? Try getting some tips from Snape," Sirius responded.
James and Sirius guffawed. Once they finished getting dressed with their usual uniforms, they headed down the Great Hall. Sirius and James casually sat down at the Gryffindor table with Remus, Peter and Alice, who had just arrived.
"Great, just great. I have an essay due for Professor Plyte. He's making us do four bloody rolls of parchment!" whined Peter. He glanced up; looking unsure and hoping that someone would be kind enough to help him.
"No worries. I'll help you get some books," said Remus genially, taking a mouthful of cereal.
James ate his eggs and sausages, fully satisfying his stomach. He looked down the table and saw a redhead, who was clearly Lily Evans. Lily had a simple look but had a natural beauty that was alluring. She was chatting with a Ravenclaw, Jake Tykin. A small surge of jealousy shot through James and he found himself glaring him.
"What are you looking at?" questioned Alice, waving her hand in front of James's face.
"That guy who's talking to Lily. Who is he? He looks familiar, " said James, making an effort to look as though this didn't concern him.
"Oh, Tykin? He's in Ravenclaw and the Keeper of Ravenclaw's Quidditch Team. He's canny and teacher's are quite fond of him too," responded Alice, looking at Jake.
"I see," said James contemptuously, eyeing the two.
"Do I see a hint of jealousy?" said Sirius, grinning.
"What are you talking about Sirius? I'm just concerned that Tykin is up to something," said James, nettled.
Remus raised his eyebrows, grinning.
"Translation: James fancies Lily. Admit it, will you?" exclaimed Sirius, smirking.
James glowered at his friend.
"Look, I don't fancy Lily. She's just a colleague and a friend," explained James.
"Sure.." said his friends in unison.
"Just tell Lily," suggested Sirius, munching on his bread.
"Tell me what?" asked Lily curiously, as she sat down between James and Alice.
