Chapter4
Unseen treasures are the greatest treasures of all
James, Remus and Sirius had split up in search of Ginny with no such luck. They had been searching for the longest and looked in every nook and cranny they all knew of. James was getting frustrated because the students weren't being too helpful ("She went this way," One of the Creevy boys pointed north, the other south. "Thanks so much," James said rolling his eyes). He rumpled his hair furiously. "Do mine eyes deceive me? James hasn't ruffled his hair since Evans looked like he was insane when he proposed!" Sirius said in mock shock. "You've got it bad mate," Sirius said patting his back. Professor Fae walked pass and smiled at them and Sirius' eyes followed her all the way down the hall. "Do mine eyes deceive me? Sirius hasn't checked out a girl since he started dating Snape," James said mocking Sirius. "Don't mock me, I've never dated Snape," Sirius said in a menacing growl. Remus looked amused at the whole situation. "Sirius has never dated Snape and James has ruffled his hair before now," Remus said leading the boys (men I mean, they're just like little boys though). "But you've still got it bad," Remus noted. Sirius looked triumphant.
"Prove it," James challenged. "What was it you was dreaming about last night?" Remus said. Actually James had a rather enjoyable dream which included snogging Ginny. "Elephants on tricycles," James said. Remus raised his eyebrow. "Elephants named Ginny? Hmm…you have a weird mind," Sirius said. "Huh?" James asked. "Last night you were mumbling in your sleep," Sirius said looking gleeful. " 'yeah Ginny right there god that feels good," Remus said mimicking James voice. " Sound slightly familiar?" Sirius said grinning. James turned red in embarrassment. "I said that?" he asked weakly. Sirius and Remus nodded eagerly. He hit his head against the wall.
James really does like being around Ginny and just having fun with her. She's nice to be around and always seems to look the other way, but she was too young and James was confused and worried about her all the time, maybe it was love, he knew what love felt like, he had since he was in love with Lily. His feeling for his friend were close to it, but unfortunately for his mental health, it was growing steadily and it was driving him insane. "James… James … JAMES!" Sirius bellowed. James stirred out of his thoughts. "Huh? Guys I need to go think, see you guys later," James said walking off. "I hate it when he'd do that, just walk off all of a sudden, where does he go anyway? He was never on the map?" Sirius said rubbing his chin. Remus shrugged and they continued to look for Ginny.
James walked through the east hall absentmindedly. He walked up nine flights of steps before taking the hall on the right. He opened a golden door with a ruby door knob. He walked up the golden steps that had red velvet carpeting. And walked into a plain wooden door. There was a room that was exactly like the ceiling of the Great hall. He was in the tallest tower and could see the whole school grounds. It was a blood red sunset shimmering along the lake's horizon and the reflection was making the trees look slightly red orange.
"Everyone's not even noticed I'm not there huh?" said a small weak voice. James jumped. Ginny was sitting facing the lake. "They've noticed, just don't really care, which isn't fair Virginia," James said. Ginny flinched and scooted away from him. "Did I do something wrong?" James asked. "Only he called me that, for that I hate my name," Ginny whispered putting her knees up to her chest. "Who?" James asked. "Have you ever heard of Tom Marvolo Riddle?" Ginny asked. "No," James replied. "Let me rephrase that for you," Ginny said. She took out her wand and wrote :Tom Marvolo Riddle. She waved her wand and they wrote : I am Lord Voldermort. James raised his eye brow at the newly formed phrase. "I didn't know," Ginny said looking at the 'ground.'
"What happened? Why did you hex that Skeeter girl?" James asked. "She said I was only useful for one thing and I'm a soiled bitch," Ginny said. "Soiled?" James said shocked. "She's right though, I am soiled and useful for on thing now," she said. "How could-" 'When I was eleven, I got a diary. When I wrote in it and it wrote back. I thought I had found someone who'd listen, he called me his Virginia Princess and I called him Tom. After a few months I started having black outs and blank moments and some reason ending up where I didn't remember how to get back, getting stuff on me like blood and feathers. And I always felt guilty after Dumbledore announced an attack or another writing.
"I put two and two together and threw the book in a toilet. That's when Harry found it. I didn't want him being an attacker so I ransacked his room to get it back. I wrote in it that I knew what it was doing. Then Tom came out and he took me, I screamed but no one heard me. He took me in this chamber and told me that screaming won't help but only make it worst, he put me in a corner and he- he-," Ginny's voice faltered. James looked shock.
"I blacked out afterwards and the last thing I remember is Tom's smirk. Then I saw Harry's face as he told me that Ron was outside the room. We flew on a Phoenix and the Defense teacher had lost it, he'd gone nutters and has a permanent bed in Saint Mungos. Everybody found out about this little escapade and I was separated from the others. They called me 'soiled', 'possessed' and 'damaged goods.' I was only eleven. Pavarti and Amanda were the only ones who stuck with me though. And the Slytherins look at me like I'm their 'toy.' But they'll never get anything from me cause I'm not like that. I'm useless," Ginny said.
James was sucking up everything she'd said. "No," James said. "No what?" Ginny said, Her tears streaming down her cheeks. He wiped them off, "you're not useless, your perfect, your nice, your funny, attractive, intelligent, witty, quick with words, and your loyal unlike my son. I have no idea how he could have cheated on such a perfect girl," James said. "Especially with that- what is the right word- slut?" James said. "No worse than that, I saw her shagging Malfoy," James said. Ginny laughed. "If I didn't know any better I'd say she's trying to seduce the competition," Ginny said. "First it was Diggory, Hufflepuff. Then Harry, Griffyndor, then Malfoy, Slytherin. Good thing the new Hufflepuff Seeker doesn't swing that way. Funny cause it sounds like Slytherin tactics," Ginny said laughing. "You're right," James said chuckling.
"Man you brought back memories earlier," James said. "Do tell," Ginny said. "Wanna see?" James said. He conjured a small basin. HE put his wand to his head and pulled out a silvery strand dropping it into the basin. "Ready?" James said. She nodded he grabbed her hand and pulled them into the pensive. They were standing behind James who was doodling on a piece of paper LE and a heart and little snitches. Sirius was leaning in his chair. And Remus was checking his answers. Peter was biting his nails looking at his neighbors paper from time to time. "Bit of a nervous bloke wasn't he?" Ginny said nodding towards Peter. "Yeah," James said.
"Quills down please," squeaked Flitwick. "Accio parchment," he said and hundred of rolls of parchment came at him all at once, knocking him over. James and Sirius were laughing banging their fist on their desk. Remus and several other students including a red haired girl with green eyes ran to help him up. "Thank you, thank you, dismissed!" he squeaked. They followed the marauders outside. "That test was a piece of cake," James said. "Did you guys get the right answer on question263 on-" "Moony, we just got out of hours in testing, we're not gonna review it question by question," Sirius said. "Did you like question ten Moony?" James asked. "Yes, 'give five signs of a werewolf' excellent question," Monny said. "Do you think you managed to get all the signs?" James said in mock concern. "I think I did," he said seriously. "One he's sitting in my chair… two he's wearing my clothes… three his name is Remus Lupin…" they all chuckled. "I got the snout and the pupils but I couldn't remember the rest. "God Peter how thick could you get? You run around with a werewolf once a month and" Sirius said. 'Watch yourself," Remus said.
James took out a snitch and began to play with it. "Where'd you get that?" Sirius asked. "Nicked it," James said casually. He'd let it fly away and the catch it quickly and Peter would gasp and applaud. Remus was reading a book and Sirius looked bored and haughty (A/N: more like bored and hot if you ask me!). When Peter gasped and clapped as James made a rather difficult catch Sirius spoke up ," can you please put that thing away before Peter wets his pants," Sirius snapped. James stuffed the snitch in his pocket.
"Here's something that might entertain you," James said. Their heads snapped up. "excellent," Sirius said softly. "Snivellrus." Snape was walking across the lawn, his head still in the test booklet. Sirius, Peter, and James got up but Remus remained sitting, a frown creased in his eyebrows. "Hey Snivellrus!" James called out. "Did you enjoy the test?" James asked. "I saw him, his nose was touching the parchment, there will be great grease marks on it, they won't be able to read it at all," Sirius aid as the students laughed. Snape pulled out his wand but Sirius and James were too quick. Their wands were out. "Impedimenta, expilliarmus" James said. Severus tripped and fell, trying to crawl but the leg-locker curse was still active. "You wait, you just wait," Snape breathed. "What are you gonna do Snivelly, wipe your nose on us?" Sirius said coldly. Snape yelled out a series of curses and swearwords that would have gave Mrs. Weasley a heart attack, but nothing happened as his wand was feet away. "Wash your mouth out, Scourgify," James said coldly. Pink soap bubbles frothed out of his mouth choking him.
"Leave him alone!" yelled the red haired girl. Both James' hand unoccupied hand flew up to his hair. Ginny looked at James. "Sorry. habit," James mumbled. "Hi Evans," James said, sounding much more mature. The girl was glaring at them. "Leave him alone," she said. " What's he ever did to you?" she asked. "Well it's more the fact he exist if you know what I mean," James said and everybody laughed. "leave him alone Potter," she said. "Go out with me, go on, I'll never lay a wand on Snivelly again," James said quickly. "I'd rather go out with the Giant Squid than you!" she exclaimed. "Bad luck Prongs," said Sirius who had just turned around and Snape was standing. "Oy!" he yelled. James got a large cut on his cheek which was bleeding. "Locomotor mortis," James yelled. Snape flew into the air, his robe falling down revealing a pair of graying underpants. Ginny and James roared with laughter as did everyone else. "Oh god that's hilarious!" Ginny said, for the first time in years, she had tears of laughter.
They were soon being pulled out of the picture and James took his memory back. "Thanks James," Ginny said sitting down. It was dark and the stars were sparkling brightly. James laid down and Ginny did the same, her head resting on his chest. "Who'd have thought, Snape was a tortured object, no wonder he's so sour," Ginny said chuckling. "Yeah," James said. They sat for about ten minutes before James stood up. "Are you coming out the Tower?' James asked. "No, could you stay with me?" Ginny asked. "Okay, I'll just get something from the kitchens," James said before running out.
Ginny sighed and looked up. James was so perfect, he was nice and handsome, but Ginny refused to affiliate herself with anymore Potters after the last one broke her heart. 'James isn't like that,' Ginny reasoned to herself. But he was everything Harry was and more, he actually cared and worried and cheered her up when she didn't really need it and when it was really needed. Did she have more for him than friendship? She really was confused. She had never had this feeling before, it was much stronger than how she'd felt for Harry and it was slowly driving her insane.
James came back, his arms stuffed with snacks and a carafe of pumpkin juice. He place them on the ground. "Bon appetite," James said bowing. Ginny laughed. He sat down and joined her in devouring the food there. "How can a girl with such a nice figure eat so much?" James asked her. "I play Quidditch. My mum scared me into exercise because she said she used to eat as much as me," Ginny said laughing. "That's weird, I can never gain any weight for some unknown reason," James said. "lucky," Ginny said. "Sirius said the same thing," James said. "But he's the same, he just uses so much damn energy he doesn't really have to worry about that stuff," Ginny said. "True, so true," James said.
James and Ginny smiled at each other, slowly getting closer. Ginny could see the small green freckles in his hazel eyes and was mesmerized by them. He had this sparkle that Ginny loved. He was much closer and their lips touched. James was unsure but Ginny kissed him back in assurance and he was delighted. She wrapped her arms around his neck running a hand through his hair and he had his arms around her waist. Ginny gasped for air and he deepened the kiss, his tongue finding it's way into her mouth. Ginny moaned and a smile played around the corners of James mouth. He put his hand in her shirt and Ginny pulled away. "I'm sorry," James said quickly. "Don't be," Ginny said. "That was nice," Ginny said. "Yeah," James agreed. Ginny scooted next to him and was asleep in seconds.
