James paced nervously in front of a mirror, his eyes full of excitement and worry. He tried once more to make his hair lie flat on his head, but his attempt was in vain. He looked over at his best friend, who looked calm and relaxed as he sprawled out over the bed. "Pads..." James saw Sirius roll his eyes, as he had heard the same question 5 times in the last 2 minutes. "Do you think I'm ready?"
"Prongs, for the last time! You're ready! Just sit down before you pass out." Unfortunately, this didn't have quite the effect Sirius had been trying for. "Pass out? What if I pass out on our date? Do you think she would laugh at me? Do you think I will?" Sirius sat up.
"James. Listen to me. You will do fine. Stop worrying yourself over nothing! It'll go fine!" James looked around the room, still panicked. "I don't know.. What if.."
"No more what if's. Ok?" James let out a shaky sigh. "All right. No more what if's.. But still..." Sirius flopped on the bed again, obviously giving up. "Trust me, once you see her, you'll go back to being fine. But for not, do me a favor and eat some of those chocolate frogs I gave you before I take them back, ok?"
Finally, James laughed and relaxed a little. Maybe it would go ok, after all... James laughed out loud as he bit into one of the frogs. "You know, Pads.. I think you were right for once... It's a miracle!" And with that, pillows flew into the air (along with several chocolate frogs), and all anxieties were forgotten.. at least for the time being.
