A scream pierced through James's dreams, causing him to wake and wonder what happened to the snitch and cheering fans. Suddenly, his bed hangings flew apart, revealing an out of focus Remus Lupin.
"Did you hear that?" he asked his bleary-eyed friend.
"I'm not deaf," James snapped, reaching over to the nightstand and grabbing his glasses. As he did, a piece of parchment slipped off the surface, gliding down to the floor. "What's that?"
Remus shrugged, bending down to pick it up. He quickly scanned over the paper, a frown tightening his lips.
"What does it say?" James asked, curiously scooting closer to Remus and the parchment.
"It says, 'Dearest James-'"
James tugged at the paper. "It doesn't say that!"
"Yes it does! Right here," the werewolf declared, pointing at the opening line of the letter. "Now, may I continue?"
James only nodded.
"As I was saying, 'Dearest James, I have taken her. Soon we will be together... Forever.'" Remus shivered. "Creepy."
"Well, whoever they are, they can't have me! I'm reserved for Evans."
"Yes, tragically you still believe that," Remus said, glancing over the parchment with a sincere look of pity, to which James only scowled. "...'And now, you will never have to worry about the mean, nasty redsie again.' Redsie?"
James shrugged, giving a clueless look.
"I wonder if they mean... Oh no."
"What?" James asked, teetering forward.
"I think they mean Lily. They kidnapped her... And the scream we heard was-"
"MY ANGEL!" James yelled frantically, springing off his bed and sprinting towards the door. Before he could get there, Remus tackled him.
"Cool it Romeo."
"But what about-" However, James was unable finish, as Sirius' pillow had smacked him upside the head.
"Will you two sods shut it? I'm trying to get my beauty sleep," groaned Sirius, then added for good measure, "Not that I need any."
Remus rolled his eyes, releasing James.
"I HEARD THAT EYE ROLL!" Sirius shouted.
"My, what big ears you have..."
Sitting up, Sirius huffed aloud. "My ears are perfect, thank you very much!"
From the front of the room, James growled in frustration. "Will you two quit bickering? We have to do something about my angel."
Sirius threw a curious glance to James. "What about Evans?"
"She's gone!" he wailed. "The crazy stalker has taken her!"
"Crazy stalker?" Sirius looked to Remus for some sort of explanation, and was quickly handed the note. "Dearest? When has James ever been dear?"
James threw his hands up in the air, storming over to his bed. "That's it! I can't take it! I'm going to go look for Evans."
He pulled a silvery cloak out of his trunk, putting it on and running out of the dormitory.
"We better go after him," Sirius said, stretching with a sigh.
Remus busied himself with waking Peter. "Pete...Peter...Wake up." He gave his pudgy friend a push. "Come on. We have to go rescue Lily."
"...for rwo Rcooby racks..." the boy muttered in his sleep, rolling away from a distressed Remus.
"Give it up, Moony. It's a lost cause."
"I suppose you're right... Besides we better follow before we lose track of James," Remus said, moving away from Peter and towards the door.
"And on the way, we can pick up some apples from the kitchen, I'm famished," Sirius declared. "And maybe some toast too..."
They both left unaware of the big, yellow eyes watching them from the corner of their room. A sinister cackle sounded, and with a snap the eyes disappeared in a wisp of smoke.
