Chapter 2: Meet James
Disclaimer: Sorry, but as much as you expected, I do not own any of the characters in this story. (
"James! Ooohh Jamsie poo!!" Sirius snickered, as he yelled for James to come down from flying around.
I bet you know a lot about James Potter already. You know, popular, rich, ladies-man, prankster, and hot. Hot, with his sexy messy hair, his hazel eyes behind wire-rimmed glasses, his muscular body. That kind of hot. Yes, he is going to his final year at Hogwarts, and is really excited about it. He's a hell of a good Quidditch player, and is also a great friend.
James rolled his eyes and laughed. "Stop being so serious, Sirius, you might hurt yourself." Sirius just beamed. James flew to the ground, taking his time, relishing in making Sirius wait.
"Get down here already! We're meeting up with the guys back at your place!"
"Oh cool. Does Remus look any better?" Remus had a rough night last night. (He's a werewolf, but don't be frightened, he's nice, as long as you don't visit him during full moon nights) They started walking up to James' mansion.
"Looking better than he did last night, though he only got that one nasty bruise on his chest from last night. You remember. When you had to tackle him and you put all your weight on that hoof to pin him to the ground." He explained. (Don't be scared, the Marauders, otherwise known as James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter are animagus, with the exception of Remus, who is a werewolf, as I said before. They can change themselves to animals willingly. James is a stag, Sirius is a dog, and Peter is a rat.)
"Wow. Never thought I'd live to see Sirius seriously serious." He smiled. "But yeah, I remember that, almost lost control. That wouldn't be good."
"Damn right it wouldn't be good. We should hurry it up, they're waiting for us. Race you to the mansion!" Sirius laughed and raced to James' house.
"Hey!" James laughed and followed Sirius back to his mansion.
If you walked into the room, you would wish you hadn't. Clothes were strewn all over the floor, some looking really dirty, the smell was of mold and mildew, and the whole place was just the definition of a disaster. And yet James loved it. He plopped onto his bed, which hadn't been made since he was ten years old, and so did Sirius. Remus picked his way around all the dirty clothes and miraculously made his way over to the couch. Peter chose to sit on a chair right next to the doorway.
"So, any of you lads pick up a girl lately?" James asked as he examined a china figure of his house.
"Well, I did meet this one girl in the park..."
"Do tell."
"Can't exactly remember the name right now, but I remember she was drop dead gorgeous. I mean, seriously. She had like this dark red hair down to her mid-back and her eyes were green. Great body. Now that I think of it, she looked really familiar...But anyways, onto the more important stuff. She said she had this friend that would like to meet up with me sometime, but I declined and instead..." His eyes twinkled mischievously, "volunteered you James!" He smiled, obviously pleased with himself.
"What?!?! YOU SET ME UP ON A BLIND DATE?!?!? HOW COULD YOU SIRIUS?!?! WHY THE-"
"Actually, its not so weird James. You should have been expecting it sometime in your life. I mean it is Sirius we're talking about here." Said Remus, smiling.
"And what exactly does that mean?" Sirius said, through laughter.
James was fuming. How dare he?? How COULD he?? Of all things...A BLIND DATE. WITH A STRANGE GIRL. James put his head in his hands. This could go terribly wrong. TERRIBLY WRONG.
James was sitting in the café waiting for his blind date (coincidentally the same café Lily had her latest mishap blind date winkwink) Sirius set him up for. Speaking of Sirius, he looked up and glared at him for the millionth time. Sirius just smiled and gave him a thumbs up sign. James growled.
While James was glaring and growling, Lily sat in a table in the far corner. When she saw who Sirius said as his "friend that needs to find a girlfriend" she had hoped for Peter. That would give Annie the payback she deserved. A blind date with Peter. But it turned out to be James. She should've known. Well...Annie always got nervous around James at school, so it should be an interesting show.
Lily smirked to herself. Hopefully, she thought, after this, Annie will have learned her lesson and won't set me up for horrible blind dates.
The bell gave the ching ching. James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, and Lily in her corner looked up, and there was Annie.
Annie looked around the café, (she didn't notice Lily, who was hiding behind a menu, or Sirius, Remus, or Peter for they were doing the same) and spotted James sitting at his table, staring at her. Her eyes widened in shock. Oh no. Oh no no no no no. James could not be her blind date. How could she? Lily so knew Annie had a crush on him! ARGH, Lily, when I find you...
Annie just stood there staring at James, with shock (and nervousness) numbing her body, and James just sat there, a look of confusion on his face as he stared at Annie.
Lily was sniggering behind her menu as she watched Annie's reaction.
"Whoa, who sent the Stunning Spell?" Whispered Sirius. Sirius and Peter snickered, but Remus just watched curiously.
It was a long time before Annie slowly made her way to James' table. Throughout the time when Annie was frozen, she had been thinking. If Lily wanted it like this, then so be it. Slowly, Annie relaxed, and when she sat down, she was totally okay, the ideas of revenge for Lily slowly forming.
And as Lily watched, she became more disappointed because Annie's spell was slowly wearing off. Great revenge, Lily thought. Well, it was the best I could do.
By now, Annie was chatting casually and talking rather animatedly to James, and James put on quite an act of looking interested, but was rather bored. Annie snuck peeks around the café, looking for Lily, because she knew Lily would be here. She also knew Lily was rather bad at revenge, but herself, Annie, was quite good. And there, Annie had found her, sitting in the far corner, trying to hide herself behind a menu. I got you now, thought Annie, as she tuned back into the conversation. (She was quite good at talking and tuning out, but while she was still talking)
While James himself hardly noticed what Annie was doing because he was so bored, he was just looking around the café freely, every once in a while looking back at Annie as she chatted endlessly and was watching, no glaring at the far corner. So James decided to look at the far corner too.
James didn't know why Annie was so interested in the corner. Just someone reading a menu, jeez.
"-like I was saying to her, 'Maybe you should try this eye shadow, it would look so much better than that aqua-blue one and-"
"Say, what school do you go to?" James asked, just to stop her endless blabbering. This got Annie's attention quick. She stopped staring at the corner and really did stop blabbering. The silence rang in James' ears.
"Hogwarts. Why?" She said abrubtly after a silence. James nearly fell off his chair. You see, he thought she was just some Muggle and you would understand that if a Muggle told (well at least you thought the person was a Muggle) you that she went to Hogwarts.
"Y-You go to Hogwarts? How did you know I wasn't a Muggle?" After he said it, it sounded like a stupid question.
"Yes, I go to Hogwarts. I don't expect you'd know how I am but I definitely know who you are. I'm Annie by the way."
"Annie, nice to meet you."
She rolled her eyes at him. "Now you greet me." He was about to reply to apologize but she interrupted him. "Nevermind. I need you to do something for me."
"Like what?" He asked, suspiciously.
"How did you get here?"
James was confused. Wasn't she just going to ask him to do something for her? "Walking..."
"No, no. Like did you come here personally wanting to find your sould mate?"
"No...one of my friends set me up for it."
"That's right. So did one of my friends. And I need to get back at her. Understand?"
Then, it dawned on James. He nodded, suddenly liking this Annie a whole lot better.
