James Potter flew down corridors and corridors, following the scream's echoes. He was worried. Very worried.
Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew (A/N- the friggen piece of scum!) followed him, but lost James because he was going to fast.
"Mooooony! Slow down! Can't take all this running!" Sirius whined pathetically. They all slowed down, giving up on catching James.
"God, Siri. Didn't think you were so out of shape!" Remus grinned, teasing Sirius. Sirius slapped him on the arm.
"Oh shut up! I'm not out of shape! Just . . . not . . . " Sirius trailed off, as the 3 Marauders heard the scream again. Remus and Sirius exchanged another glance and hurried off again, Peter bringing up the rear.
***
James was still running down corridors. He couldn't track down where the scream came from. He rounded a corner and slowed down. This was so useless, he would never find out who screamed. He would probably have to search the whole castle to find anything, and he was most likely not to. But for all he knew, it could've been Lily who had screamed.
James slumped down beside the wall, his head falling into his hands.
"I give up. I can't search the whole castle until I find them! It could've been Lily, or it could've been Snape. Yeah, Snape." James thought, picking himself off the floor and heading back towards the Gryffindor Common Room.
***
Lily was still standing by the portrait of the man. She had heard the scream too, and she was worried. What if the person was in danger? It could've been Audrey for heaven's sake!
Lily decided to walk back to the Gryffindor Common Room after a few minutes of thinking. It was odd; the person hadn't ever screamed again. She decided that if there was any news of anything, a death or disappearance, it would be in the Common Room. Lily sped up, rounding corners at a run.
She arrived at the portrait hole soon enough, almost colliding with the Fat Lady's frame.
"Whoa, slow down dear! What all this rush?" The Fat Lady said, clearly not very happy with Lily.
"Sorry Madam" was Lily's hurried reply. She mumbled the password ("pawnbowl") and entered the portrait hole into the Common Room.
$*$*$*$
As James was heading back toward the Common Room, he heard a shuffling noise behind him. He whipped around, and saw Severus Snape running down the hall.
"Odd. What was Snivellus doing behind me? Very peculiar." James thought, turning around again. He started running. He was impatient to see if Lily was in the Common Room, safe and sound.
It was very unlike James Potter to worry about anyone, except the rest of the Marauders. Lots of people noticed this. Lots thought it was very sweet, lots were jealous. The most jealous of them all were Sandy Lorents, Nicole Warden, Shari Siuta and Casey Berg.
When James was approaching the Fat Lady's portrait, he started to slow down.
"Handlotion" he panted at the Fat Lady.
"Sorry, dear. The password has changed as you should remember." The Fat Lady said, filing her nails. James tried to remember the password. After all the homework and Lily problems, he couldn't remember it. "Handlotion" was last month's code word, an invention of the Fat Lady.
"Oh. I can't think of it. Can you please let me in?" James begged to the portrait with his famous puppy eyes. The Fat Lady looked like she was considering it, gave an approving nod, and let the gold frame swing open.
"What luck! I've got to tell Sirius! Puppy eyes, and a free entrance." James thought, entering the Common Room. His eyes searched the whole place, looking for red hair.
There was Lily, curled up in a soft red armchair. James, very relieved, made his was over to her, ignoring the feeble attempts of conversation by hopeful girls. He stopped in front of her chair, just staring at her. Lily was reading a book called "A Wrinkle In Time" and was so absorbed in it that she didn't notice James, or she maybe it was because she just didn't want to.
James was entranced, as he was always when he looked at Lily. He liked it when she was calm, not angry or flustered, especially at him. He cleared his throat, and sat down next to her. Lily didn't look up or even acknowledge him and James thought this odd. Then he saw wires coming out of her ears, leading to a round piece of metal with buttons. (A/N-wires out of ears! Funny!) He recognized it as a magi-player, which was like a CD player, but would work in any location. You couldn't use a muggle CD player in Hogwarts; too much magic.
James tapped Lily on the shoulder, and she looked up. Her body stiffened when she looked at him. She reached for her wand and said "Finaka" while she tapped the magi-player. Lily took the earphones out of her ears and marked her book before looking at James again.
"What Potter?" She asked curtly. James winced at her tone of voice. She never ever gave him a chance to make good conversation.
"I just wanted to say hello." James answered innocently. She looked at him suspiciously and looked down at her feet.
"Its more than that, I know it is." She said, still gazing at her feet as though they were an entrancing animal at a zoo.
James was taken aback. She knew about the scream? Nah. . .
"Oh, well, yeah. Listen, earlier today I heard a scream. Did you hear it?" James said, not wanting to admit he thought it was her. She would think him insane, and he certainly didn't want that.
"Yeah, actually, I did. But I never found anyone or any news about it." Lily responded, sounding interested in what James was saying for once.
"I was wondering who it was, but I never found out. I thought it was you . . ." James trailed off, embarrassed. Lily looked at him, smiling to herself. She had made THE James Potter worried and embarrassed.
"Really? I didn't know you would care." Lily said, but in a more teasing manner than before.
James grinned. "Oh, but I do!" He said.
Lily smiled. Then she noticed what she was doing and stopped immediately. Then she picked up her book, and pretended to read.
"Hey. What do you listen to?" James asked her, and pointed to the magi- player. Lily looked up again and said, "Sum 41" quietly.
"Really? Me too!" James said, suddenly more enthusiastic.
Lily nodded, and returned to her book. James sighed, got up and said, "Goodnight" to Lily softly. Then he headed back to his dormitory to find the rest of the Marauders.
He gave up for the night. It was like she was scared to talk and smile around him. Nothing was wrong with laughing or smiling at anyone. It was a way to express yourself, and that was a good thing, right?
Meanwhile, Lily watched James' back as he left and whispered "Goodnight" after he had disappeared up the stairs.
