Trouble between the Marauders
As the sorting began there seemed to be a bit of trouble. Every time a first year got close to the stool where the sorting hat sat, the hat would fly out of their reach. And when a first year tried to stand on the stool to get the hat down, the stool would move out from under them. Professor McGonagall would look sternly upon the older students and magic the hat back into place, but they would simply fly up again. Remus had a very good idea who was the cause of the mayhem as he eyed his best friends. He wished he could join the fun, but the Prefect's Badge gleamed on his chest and he sighed with disappointment. Dumbledore looked highly amused and of course knew who was causing the trouble. The trick was about to go on the 5th round when a voice split through the laughter.
"James Potter, if you do that one more time," the sorting hat shrieked, "I will-"
But they never heard how the hat would punish James because at that moment Sirius moved the stool out from under the hat and placed it on top of it, muffling the hat's voice. Everyone, even the teachers, was roaring with laughter. Then, quite suddenly, the stool whizzed through the air and hit Sirius squarely. Sirius toppled over with a grunt of pain, while James and Remus toppled over with laughter. Soon everyone was laughing again, well, everyone except Sirius, who was returning the stool to its proper place, flushing with anger. And the Sorting and feast continued without anymore mishaps.
The next morning James and Remus were the first to arise. They decided to see if Sirius and Peter were up before they headed down to breakfast.
"Hey Moony!" James exclaimed while bending over Sirius, "Look at his face!"
"What's wrong with him?" Remus asked as he headed over to see Sirius, and then he gasped. "Is that where the stool hit him?"
"Must be," James sniggered, "he isn't going to like this. I suggest we let him get his beauty sleep, he'll need it."
The two boys headed down to breakfast where they met Clohe, Lily, Miera, and Holly, who had their schedules. The girls handed them to James and Remus; both quickly looked over them and groaned. James sat by Miera and grabbed some toast. Remus looked at him oddly slowly sitting by Clohe, wondering why James hadn't sat by Lily. 'Oh well,' he thought, 'You have more important things to ponder than James' obsession with Lily coming to an end. For instance Clohe," he thought smiling.
"Why are you smiling?" Clohe asked jolting Remus out of his thoughts.
"I was thinking about-er-classes!" Remus said hurriedly as James shot him a knowing look.
Thankfully Sirius arrived to breakfast in a towering rage before James could say anything. Many girls were cooing over Sirius and his injuries. Most everyone else was laughing, James among them.
"Shut-up Prongs," Sirius muttered darkly.
"What's the matter Padfoot? Did the big bad sorting hat ruin your good looks?" James continued laughing, "Oh, sorry, I forgot. You have no good looks!"
Sirius' face flushed with anger and embarrassment, "I'm warning your Prongs!"
"Should I really be scared? I mean you're the one who got beat up by a stool," James said loud enough for everyone to hear.
Sirius lunged and James, knocking him down. The two boys fought for several minutes with Remus trying to separate them. Professor McGonagall finally came over and stopped them. Remus had a black eye where James had hit him thinking he was Sirius. James had two black eyes, a bloody nose, and what looked like a cracked rib. Sirius, well, it was hard to tell if anyone had hit him because he was already covered in bruises. Professor McGonagall gave James and Sirius detentions and sent everyone off to class.
It was a miserable first day back with James not talking to Sirius and Sirius not talking to anyone. Later, in the common room doing homework, James caught Remus staring at Clohe. After trying to bring him back to the real world three times James was highly irritated.
"Why don't you just ask her out?" James said pointedly.
"What? Oh, sorry." Remus blushed but continued to remain in space.
James tried again, "I'm sorry about your eye."
"I'm glad that you're finally happy Padfoot," Remus said clearly not paying attention.
At being called Padfoot, James chucked his book at Remus and headed up to the common dormitory. Unfortunately, there was someone already there. James turned back around and started to head back to the common room.
"James wait!" Sirius yelled, grabbing James' arm.
"Get off!" James yelled trying to get away.
"No, listen, the only reason I got upset was because of my mum-"
"I don't give a damn about your mum or any of your lot!" James screamed back, as Remus ran into the room.
"SHUT-UP!" he roared restraining Sirius.
"Maybe you're right, they don't belong with you. But the fact is that I'm one of them too, so you must not give a damn about me," Sirius yelled back and ran out of the room.
Remus was at a loss for words. He watched James put his face in his hands on sit on his bed. He started to walk down the stairs when he ran into Lily Evans.
"What are they doing now?" She said exasperated.
"Nothing Lily, I've taken care of it," Remus said as a loud crash came from above.
"It doesn't look like it," she said coolly pushing past him.
"Well, I can't say I didn't try," he muttered and went to play chess with Peter.
"James?" Lily asked cautiously.
"Go away Evans," James said wiping his face.
"I won't lecture you," Lily said softly.
"Well that's a first," James replied icily.
"I'm not the person you think I am," she said sitting beside him.
"Okay, well, you can go away now," James said turning away from her.
"Sirius is afraid of how strong your friendship is," Lily said hesitatingly.
"He is not. He's not afraid of anything. Look what he has to put up with at home, how can you say such a thing?" James looked her straight in the eye.
"That's what I mean, he's never had anyone who loved him like you do. I'm not even sure he's ever had anyone love him. He's afraid of love," she replied softly.
"Go to bed Lily. It's late," James said shortly.
"Goodnight James," she replied.
"'Night Lily," James said pushing her out the door.
Lily went straight to her bed, but didn't fall asleep. 'James has changed a lot since last year,' Lily thought, 'He doesn't act all that conceited any more. He doesn't even act like he likes me. I mean he did try to ask me out yesterday, or at least I think he tried. I just slapped him for no reason. Was he even going to ask me out? What kind of person am I? He doesn't do all the little things he normally does for me. He just told me to go away and normally he would dance to have that long of a conversation without me slapping him. He has finally grown into the guy I always wanted him to be.except he doesn't love me anymore,' she realized. A single tear slid down her cheek.
