Helping James

*~*~*

            It was New Year's Eve, and Magicia was trying hard not to scream. Sirius had gone off to Hogsmeade and come back with a ton of firewhiskey, which he drank all by himself, and was now drunk and chasing Magicia, who was forced to take out her broom and hover around the ceiling of the common room, wand at the ready. James was moping about yet again, because he had no one to kiss at midnight. Peter was sulking, because he couldn't find Magicia, (He still hadn't found out that she had cut her hair) and Remus was hiding out on the roof, despite the cold, staring at the half moon. Around 9:00, Andromeda and Teddy had started yelling at each other for some unknown reason, and Lily was staring at the fire, lost in thought, one hand twisting the chain James gave her.

            At 11:00, Sirius yelled that he was going to kiss Magicia at midnight. Magicia told him to back off, (only in ruder terms) and hit him over the head with her broom when he didn't. James told Andromeda to shut up or he'd make her kiss Snape, and Lily got up and brought Remus in from the roof.

            At midnight, Sirius woke up just in time to see Teddy kiss Andromeda, and he went on an overprotective cousin rampage. Lily suddenly got up and kissed James on the lips, before running at top speed to her dorm, causing James to sit there in a state of shock. Magicia kissed a cute boy named Hob Proudfoot, who she had been dating since November. Who Remus and Peter kissed, I don't know, but at least it wasn't each other (EW!) or Eddy, who Sirius ended up kissing.

*~*~*

            Classes started up as usual in January, and a change seemed to come over everyone. Lily would run, blushing, away from James if he looked at her, Peter became more confident and mysterious, Remus, sad and gloomy, and James, more adult.

            Magicia got sick and tired of it, and went to Dumbledore. When she came back, she was smiling.

            "There's going to be a Valentine's Day dance!" Dumbledore announced to the Great Hall at dinner that night. "It will be on the 14th, of course, and is open to all houses and years. There will also be games and refreshments. And you are not allowed to bring a date." Many people groaned at this, but Dumbledore pretended not to notice.

*~*~*

            "So that's what you went to Dumbledore about!" Sirius exclaimed.

            "Yup! I had to do something. Everyone was turning into zombies!"

            "No kidding."

            "Yo, Magic," said Peter, in a cool, confident voice. Magicia turned pale.

            "Is there something you want, Peter?" she asked, glancing at Hob with a 'help me!' sort of look.

            "Yeah. I want you to go on a date with me."

            "Um, I already have a boyfriend."

            "Tough luck, babe." Peter reached out to grab her by the hair, but Magicia picked up Dragon, who was sitting under the table. Peter screamed, and fled.

            "I love cats," Magicia sighed.

Hi people! Looking forward to Valentine's Day? Or are you like me, and think it's stupid? Eew, kissing. I am only 13, and not like some people in this town, who go on dates in 2nd grade! *shudders* Ahem. Anyway, back to business.

Thank you SO much the-star101!!!!!!!!!!! I love getting reviews! *hint hint* Maybe I should start reviewing my own stories. Or not.

I still need two more people for T.S.S.C., so if you want to be in it, please tell me so.

'Bye people! May you empty fish-tanks live a long life! *Heehee*
