Chapter 2: The Legend of Jim Bob-Bob
"Sirius! Give that back!" James Potter shouted. He scrambled off the ground and chased after his best friend, who was running about, arms flailing, with a book in one of his hands. He was cackling as well. It was a sight that was enough to make anyone question his sanity.
"Hee hee hee! What have we got here?!?!?" Sirius Black asked in a high-pitched, eerie voice.
James ran at top speed towards his best friend and yanked the book out of Sirius' hands. James glared and held the book protectively behind his back.
"Come on, Jimmy! Give me one more thrill before school starts!" Sirius whimpered, " PLEEEEEASE let me read your journal?"
"One, NO!" James exclaimed, "And two, don't call me Jimmy!"
Sirius smiled like the Cheshire cat in 'Alice in Wonderland' and replied, "All right, Jim Bob-Bob!"
James soundlessly mouthed words before shouting, "Where the hell did Jim Bob-Bob come from?!?!"
"Godric's Hollow! You don't even know where you come from?!?!" Sirius asked incredously.
James was tired. Normally, he loved his summers, and never wanted them to end. But this summer was different. This summer, Mr. and Mrs. Black had to travel to Geneva on business, and had left Sirius at the Potter residence. Of course, Sirius was James' best friend, but too much of him could drive anyone insane! Which was why James could hardly wait for school to start the next day.
At school, James felt at home. All the many passages and tunnels that he, Sirius, and two other friends- Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigew- had discovered over their five years at Hogwarts. The only thing he hated about Hogwarts was the fact that Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy, two very revolting Slytherins, also attended. James believed these two were built to make his life a living hell. They achieved this easily but being alive. Their mere presence was enough to make James feel sick, which was why he also dreaded Potions classes with the Slytherins. However, he also found Potions class fun, because not only was he good at it, but it also gave great opportunity for him and his friends to play pranks on the Slytherins.
Sirius, who had a short attention span, was off again, "So, James, you gonna ask someone out this year?"
Several girls at Hogwarts- Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Slytherins alike adored James. If he or any of his friends played a prank on them, they would swoon, and believe James liked him. This eventually led to stalking, which James was appalled by. He hated it because the teachers couldn't miss a group of giggling girls following boys, which made pulling pranks much harder. Of course, not all girls were like this. Lily Evans and Andrea Cox, for starters, did not believe for a second that when James placed Dungbombs in their book bags, he liked either one of them. In fact, they thought the polar opposite, which may have been worse than the stalking, since Lily was the best Charms student in Gryffindor, if not the whole school.
"I don't think I will this year, Sirius. There's no one I like," James replied reasonably, "Maybe next year."
"NEXT year?" Sirius scoffed, "That's what you say every year! And every year, you end up alone."
"Name someone then, and I might think about it," James responded.
"Lily," Sirius replied simply," as he began to run in circles around James.
"EVANS!?!?" James shouted, causing nearby birds in the field with them to flee.
"No, Lily PAD!" Sirius exclaimed sarcastically, still running around. It was late in the day, and although he was still running, he didn't seem as energized as he had been earlier, "YES, Evans!!!"
James sat down cross-legged in the grass, dumbstruck. Sirius tripped over his knee and practically flew five feet before landing with a thud. Thirty seconds later, he said, "OW. That. Hurt."
James shook his head, "There's no way I could date Lily Evans."
"And why not?" Sirius asked, before looking up to nowhere, pointing and saying, "Cheese."
"For one thing," James ticked off his fingers, "She's dating Evan Carmichael. Two, she is SUCH a goody-goody! Always so into her schoolwork. Three, she hates me." He finished simply.
Sirius didn't even seem to hear James' reply. He was jogging, though dragging his feet, on the grass, towards the direction he had pointed in. He was still saying, "Cheese!" every few seconds.
"Sirius! That's the moon!" James shouted after his best friend. But Sirius didn't hear him, as he was off in his own little world.
"Sirius! NO! Don't eat that mushroom! Sirius, NO! NO!!!!!! Stop that! Don't eat that! Sirius- ugh…" James shouted. As he finished, he ducked his head, and placed his hand over his eyes, which were part of the look of disgust on his face, "Ew…"
Before Sirius could do any more damage to his internal organs, James dragged him by his arm back to the house, as it was getting dark. Once inside, James tied Sirius up in a straitjacket, one that he had transfigured from a button during the school year before that summer, once he had knew Sirius was staying.
After getting his mum to give Sirius a Sleeping Potion, and placing his best friend in bed, James went to sleep himself, dreaming of Hogwarts.
