When Sirius finally left the Library James stayed behind and read a little
more only raising curiosity of the few other students in the library. Yet
little did they know the two friends were about to go through something
that would change both their lives forever.
Eventually James decided to head out to potions class as it started in a few minutes anyways. It didn't take him long to get there as James knew almost every secret passage as well as or better than Filch. When he got there he sat beside Sirius like he did during every class.
Class started a few moments after James sat down. Professor Granges was easily the meanest teacher at school but that didn't stop James and Sirius from making mischief in the class.
After listening to Professor Granges for a whole thirty seconds James got bored and decided to occupy himself by throwing wads a parchment at Severus. James found it weird when Sirius resisted the chance to make Severus' life miserable.
After awhile Professor Granges noticed that one of his prized pureblooded Slytherin was being torment he stopped talking and James immediately discontinued his actions. James wasn't an idiot and he knew professor Ganges favored the Slytherin especially over Gryffindor's. But the Professor already knew who had been doing it.
"Mr. Potter, Black. You will be moved as of now. Potter go sit with Evens and Lupin. Black go sit with mister Malfoy. Go now or it's a weeks detention. And by the way twenty points from Gryffindor." The professor then turned his attention back to the lesson. But James couldn't help but wonder why the professor had put Sirius with Malfoy. Maybe something was going on the James didn't know about. Or maybe it was all to torture Sirius neither circumstance was a one anyways.
"Its not like you didn't have it coming Potter. You shouldn't pick on Slytherins like that anyways." Lily said when she noticed James holding a tight fist.
"I don't care about that Lily I'm just thinking that's all. Anyways you have no right t tell me what to do." James said. Nothing more was said for the rest of the class as James copied Remus' notes and was not going to start another fight with Lily right now.
"James you know how torturous sitting by Malfoy is? I wanted to strangle him! For good grief the kid needs to get some sense knocked into him!" Sirius said. But for some reason James wasn't quite sure if Sirius was telling true.
"I felt sorry for you my man Padfoot. If I had been put there I would have died." James said sarcastically. Remus and Peter laughed at James joke, but Sirius just listened not responding. Causing James to wonder even more.
"So Sirius you want to come to my house over Christmas holiday. You usually ask so I thought I'd ask this time." James asked trying to not think that way. Sirius would always be Sirius.
"Yea sure, but I'll have to tell my 'dearest' mum." Remus rolled his eyes his eyes at Sirius' sarcasm. In no way was Sirius' mum dear or sweet or any of the normal things one thinks of when they think of a mother. And it was all because Sirius didn't accept the family Belief that only purebloods matter.
"Okay so I tell my mum you'll more than likely going to be there then. Hey I have to go guy see you in the Great Hall." And then James left to owl his mother that Sirius would be over during the holidays.
Before long the owl was gone and James decided to go for a walk but he went and got his invisibility cloak so he could hassle Slytherins if he saw any.
As James walked about he was disappointed to find none of the Slytherins were out and about. 'They must all be working together to read their homework.' James thought. Severus was more than likely the only one that could read at all.
When James came to the lake he stood there in shack at the site he saw when he got there.
"Lily your beautiful" Sirius said causing Lily to giggle, "Seriously Lily you have the most beautiful eyes and hair."
Lily smiled and laid her head on Sirius' shoulder and closed her eyes thinking about something. And Sirius let her lay her head on him enjoying it all the way.
Until James took off his invisibility cloak the two seemed to be locked in their own world. He just stood there staring at the two of them as if he couldn't believe what his eyes were showing him.
"Sirius. How could you?" James stuttered out. Causing both Sirius and Lily to jump up. James could feel his temper rising and knew he shouldn't go on but James just ignored the warning his senses where telling him.
"James I-I. It didn't. I-I mean. It not what you think." Sirius tried to explain. But something inside James was about to burst. He didn't care what had caused this to happen all he cared about was that it did happen.
"Yea right Black. I should have known the moment I found out you were from one of those uptight pureblood families. Probably taking advantage of another muggle born." James turned around and ran before something else was brought up. But something stopped him before he got to the castle. Hoe could he say something to Sirius like that. It wasn't his place.
Sirius hated being Sirius -Black- as much as anyone could ever hate Voldemort and more. James knew it to. Why did he say that if he knew so well?
