~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry was having the dream again. Sirius. Falling through the veil. While he listened to Voldemort's cold laughter.
"Harry! Harry wake up!"
Harry shot up from bed. He saw all the boys in his dormitory awake and looking at him with worried expressions. He saw his father leaning over him. He was obviously the one that was trying to wake him up.
"You ok mate?" asked Seamus anxiously. Harry nodded and reached for his glasses on the bedside table and put them on.
"I... I'm fine." He lied, "go back to sleep."
The others looked at him concerned, but went back to bed anyway. Ron and his father stayed where they were.
"Were you dreaming again?" Asked Ron
Harry nodded. "I've been having the same dream almost every night." He buried his head in his hands. "I can't believe he's gone." He choked back the tears.
James looked at his son sadly. 'Padfoot must have meant a lot to him. I can't believe Wormtail is the cause for my son's losses. How could I ever have trusted that good-for-nothing rat with my son's life!! With Lily's life!' James, suddenly had an idea. "Hey Harry, fancy a walk down to the kitchens?" 'maybe I can get him to talk about his life some more, he doesn't exactly like talking about his past.'
Harry looked up at him.
"You don't have too, I just thought-"
"Yeah, yeah I think I'd like that." Harry got up and went to his trunk and took out his invisibility cloak. "Coming Ron?"
Ron looked at Harry and then at James. "Nah, I'm tired. You guys go." He couldn't help but think that Harry needed to be with his father more than him right now. Harry shrugged.
"Ok... let's get going then." James whispered. Dean and the other 2 boys were already asleep when James and Harry left their dormitory.
&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
They reached the kitchen and took off the cloak.
"Harry Potter sir!!" Soon all of the wind was knocked out of him.
"Hey... Dobby."
"Dobby has been wanting to come see Harry Potter, but Dobby has not had the time sir."
Harry smiled despite his mood. "It's ok Dobby."
Meanwhile James was already giving out orders to the other elves. "Just some tea and get some cauldren cakes too."
Dobby had went with the other house elves to see to James's orders.
Harry and James sat at a table sipping the tea that one of the house elves just brought them. After a few minutes of silence James said quietly, "You really miss him don't you?"
Harry heart dropped all the way to his stomach. He didn't want to talk about Sirius right now. Even though it happened months ago he always steered clear of that topic.
"Listen, I don't want to talk about it."
"You're going to have to sometime Harry. Avoiding it's just going to make it worse." 'Am I actually sounding like a father??'
How do you know? You haven't lost as much as I have" came the defiant answer.
James felt a horrible pang in his heart, it was true, he had felt so spoiled compared to Harry. "I know Harry. I don't think anyone deserves what you have to go through or even what you have gone through. But Padfoot would want you to talk about it."
"How do you know what he would want?" Harry's steely tone remained in place.
"Because I've know him since before first year.
"H-How did you guys meet?" Harry's sadness was beginning to be replaced by curiosity. He never asked Sirius how he and his father had met. James smiled.
*flashback *
"Hey mom! Look at this awesome broom! Can I get it?! 11-yeaar-old James Potter asked his mother. She sighed, "James honey, first years can't have brooms, you know that."
"If I made the house team I can!" He said eagerly.
"Maybe for you Birthday or Christmas."
James pouted. "Aw man mum you're no fun."
She just smiled. "You can go in and look if you like James I'll be right across the street getting some more plants for the garden." His mom loved flowers.
"Ok mum." James walked into Quality Quidditch Supplies looking at snitches, various brooms, etc. He walked around for a while looking at quidditch robes of different teams. He saw a boy with dark brown hair looking at an Ireland team robe.
James walked up to him, "You like Ireland?"
The boy jumped a little. "O... yeah Ireland's great."
James nodded. "Me too, they're my favorite team."
The other boy smiled. "Sirius Black." He stuck out his hand.
"James Potter."
"You going to Hogwarts this year?"
James nodded. "Yeah I'm here today to get my stuff."
"Me too."
"Really?! That's awesome! Maybe we can sit together on the train!"
"Yeah... Hey! I was just about to go to Gamble and Japes Joke Shop, want to come?"
James eyes lit up. FINALLY he found a friend that enjoyed pranks as much as him! "Sure! Let me go ask my mum. She's right across the street... where are your parents?"
Sirius looked down at his feet. "I'm here by myself."
"Oh." James said quietly. He didn't press the subject any more.
*end of flashback *
"You became friends that fast?" Harry asked disbelievingly.
James just shrugged. "I might have made it a bit more brief considering I don't remember every little detail about that day."
Harry smiled. James yawned and looked at his watch. It was 2:30am. 'Good thing it's Friday... well Saturday.' Thought James. "I'm tired, ready to go back?"
"Umm... hold on dad."
James looked at Harry. "What?"
"What made you and Snape hate each other so much?"
James opened his mouth to respond but Harry interrupted him before he could answer.
"Other than he is a complete git, a Slytherin, and because he exists."
James smiled.
*flashback *
It was September 1st and James was looking for Sirius on pltform 9¾. He saw a greasy haired kid walk pass a pretty red head.
*Pause *
sorry... did I say pretty? I meant stunningly gorgeous with beautiful almond shaped eyes that-""Get back the story dad."
"Soorry."
*resume story *
He ran into her and snarled, "Watch it mudblood."
James was furious. He marched over to where the grease ball was walking away, and the red head was fighting back tears.
"Apologize!" James called angrily to grease head, who turned around and sneered.
"Excuse me? Nobody tells me what to do! And there's no way in hell am I apologizing to a mudblood!"
James made to reach for his wand, he had been working on a few hexes (wonder how he pulled that off with out the ministry finding out), when the red head spoke up. "Don't." She said in a sweet angelic voice. (a/n: James thinks everything about Lily is angelic) "I don't want him to apologize. Besides, he wouldn't mean it anyway... but I also don't need you to stick up for me."
James gaped at the girl. "I...I wasn't-"
"Hey James!"
James turned around to find Sirius walking towards him.
Sirius saw grease boy. "What are you doing here Snivellus?" Snape glared him but said nothing, he just stalked off, as did the red head.
*end of flashback *
"You're that horrible to Snape because of what happened that day on the platorm?!"
Calling someone was aweful, sure but, the way James treated Snape you would think he did something MUCH worse.
"Well, it wasn't just that. That was just the first impression. It's the way he abuses his prefect powers and the way he treats people. And trying an and every way possible to get me and Padfoot expelled."
Harry yawned. "I guess Malfoy and Snape are more alike than I thought."
James nodded. "Anyway, let's get to bed. Quidditch try-outs today... wouldn't want the captain to be falling asleep on the field."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about try-outs."
He and James both left the kitchen and headed back to Gryffindor tower.
