My last year of Muggle School was the first year that I had the pleasure of knowing James Potter. That was the first, and for a while I thought only, year that it was a pleasure to know him. It took most of the year for us to actually talk to each other. For the most part, I was more interested in James's best friend… a Sirius Black.
But I think this would be a little bit confusing if I didn't explain the whole story. This has quite a bit to do with my friends and me. When I started the year, I was quite lost. Jessie had moved away, and I would never see her again. I was thrown in with the friends from last year that I had hoped to leave behind. Luckily, I had one true friend, a short mousy girl named Cara. I also became much closer to Hannah. We had been friends in Kindergarten, and had since lost touch. But we were starting to be friends once more.
This made Hannah's other friend, Missy very jealous, and we fought for nearly a month. We finally got over it and came to a peaceful compromise. However we were maddeningly polite to each other. Luckily, we only saw each other at lunch. During the day, I was occupied with Sirius Black.
In class, we sat at three long tables. I, being Evans, happened to be sitting across and one seat to the right of Sirius Black. I admired his humor and good nature about everything but math. Needless to say, I also admired his looks. We became friends, if only in the classroom setting.
But I bet you're wondering what all this has to do with James Potter. It's coming soon, I promise. You see, I told you that I skated on thin ice with Missy, very wary of another big blow up. When James was stood up by Missy's friend, I made a joke about how she was probably seeing someone else. He thought I was serious and I had to rush back and explain everything to him.
Afterwards, I became I messenger of sorts between him and Emma (Missy's friend). This continued all summer, and we became friends. We grew closer, and I learned he and Sirius were very similar in nature. However, Sirius had the looks, and my feeling for James were purely platonic.
And then, James, Sirius, Hannah and I received our Hogwarts letters. After that, things began to change and spin out of control very quickly.
I am aware this is the shortest chapter in the history of the world, but I'm struggling right now. The next chapter will be better and I'm excited about it. It might be a long time from now. You have been forewarned.
I'd like to kick a few shout-outs:
LoonyLoopyLisa: My very first review. I'm glad you like my prologue, despite its shortness. I think all of my chapters are destined to be short.
Tom girl: I struggle at writing soon. It always takes me like two months to update.
Citrus scented: I'm thrilled this made it to your FS list… really really thrilled.
Angelxd14: Like I said before…destined to be short. Please stay understanding!
Citris scented (again): Thank you very much. That's really a HUGE compliment.
Lil lily: I feel like disappointing a lot of people with my miniscule chapters. I promise to try harder.
Jewels: Thanks a lot and I really love your email address!
Kerry: Back again! Yay! My name is very recently put into my bio. Read it, and thanks!
Citris scented (third times a charm): Thanks, that's probably what I'll do.
