Chapter 6 –
James returned to his dorm to find Sirius in the shower and Remus pulling on his shoes.
"Hey Moony, Alison is going down to breakfast and wants you to walk with her." James winked at Remus as he smiled nervously.
"Really? Thanks, you coming with?" he asked as he picked up his school bag.
"Yeah, as soon as I find my bag." James went looking through his trunk until he found his bag, covered in papers and small notes with the letters LE on them.
"Ready!" he said standing up, just packing in the loose letters.
Remus gave him a look and then at the letters he was putting in his bag and smiled.
The two boys made their way down the stairs to find Alison waiting for them. As they stepped out through the portrait hole, James felt a slight shift in his bag but brushed it off as nothing. James noticed Remus go slightly red as Alison started talking about her summer. He also noticed that Remus made up a few interesting things that he really hadn't done so as to not seem like he spent the whole summer at home.
They arrived at the Gryffindor table to find their timetables set out for them. James sat down and scanned his:
"Double Charms first with the Ravenclaws, then we have Muggle Studies with Huffelpuff before lunch." Cited James.
"Yeah, but we have double advanced potions this afternoon with the Slytherins" sighed Alison.
James and Remus lost their smiles, "Again? I guess we'll never get away from those damn Slytherins."
James and Remus finished their breakfast and told Alison that they were going to go back and check on Sirius to make sure he hadn't fallen asleep in the shower again.
As James entered the common room he looked over at the window to where Satu and Suvi were sitting, they were reading a small piece of parchment in their hands and sighed as they read it. He saw them look his way then ran up the girls stairs in a fit of giggles.
"What was that about?" asked Peter as he came down the stairs to where James was standing.
"No idea! Is Sirius still up?" he asked a yawning Peter.
"Yeah, you better go get him though...class starts in twenty minutes, and if he doesn't eat...you know how he gets." Said Peter before walking out through the portrait hole.
James walked up the stairs to the dormitory to find Sirius just walking out the door. He stopped James on the stairs with a menacing glare in his eyes, however he gave him a punch in the arm and kept on walking down.
"Thanks Prongs, teach me that spark incantation at lunch will you?"
"Yeah sure, hurry up, class starts in nineteen minutes!" and with that Sirius bolted out through the common room.
James laughed and headed back down into the common room, he figured he could look through his Charms textbook before heading to class. He had just gotten to a really interesting incantation when he heard a group of people coming down he stairs. "So you're sure it's for me then?" asked one of the girls.
James recognized her voice and turned around to see Lily walking towards the portrait hole.
"Of course it's for you! How many other people in the school..." Suvi stopped talking as soon as she spotted James peering over the couch.
"Hi Lily." Called James.
Lily gave him a small wave and a smile then her face turned the brightest colour of red ever imaginable and she ran out the door.
Satu and Suvi winked at James and then, giggling once more, headed out after Lily.
"Did I say something?" Thought James.
