Helloooo! I'm so sorry, I didn't update yesterday. But I kind of fell asleep at the computer. Lol. This chapter is extremely short but as soon as I upload it I'll be starting the next, so be a tad bit patient. ;) Enjoy...

Oh. My. God.

I've never seen James cry before; actually I've never seen him show any emotion besides that smart-ass look and the yelling look. But that's all. Never sadness...wonder what he did.

For once I looked at James with sympathy instead on anger and annoyance. I think he sensed my being there because he turned around and glared at me. Oh, maybe this is my fault? What the hell did I do? He set himself up for getting shot-down.

I frowned as he turned away and continued to cry into the carpet. This was not normal James Potter behavior. What was going on?!

"James...." I whispered and when he didn't look up, I crouched down next to him on the floor.

"James, come on, talk to me. What happened?" I whispered encouragingly, hoping it was nothing too serious.

He looked up at me, finally and I could see something different about his face. He wasn't wearing that smirk he loved to put on to show people how much he thought of himself. His face was serious, sad; lonely...I kind of wanted to...cry, just by looking at him. It was scary.

He didn't answer for a minute before his lip began trembling again and he choked out four words. Four words that seared through my mind and left me paralyzed in fear.

"He killed my parents."

As I sat in shock James began to tear up again. I actually felt tears fill my eyes as well. How could this happen to such a person? Sure, he annoyed the crap out of me but that didn't mean he was literally a bad person. I was sure he was extremely close to his parents because he had pictures of them all around his room.

"Oh James, I'm so sorry." I whispered, ashamed that was all I had to say. Oh god, this was horrible. Our graduation was tomorrow and James had to go through all of this and then be let out of school to go where? Unless he was planning to go buy his own flat, which I was pretty sure he wasn't because he had told me on numerous occasions he was staying in his parent's manor for a little while until he got a job.

But the manor's his now, unless he has another sibling or something...

James continued rocking back and forth and I did something completely unexpected I reached out and put my arms around him, comfortingly. James tensed for a moment before relaxing to my touch. He pulled me closer and rested his head on my shoulder, tears still leaking through his eyes. I closed my eyes, trying to pull myself together. It wasn't working. A tear ran down my cheek and I wiped it away, still rocking James back and forth slowly as a mom would do to her son.

I felt so bad for James I don't think I even realized what I was doing until I had left a couple hours later when he was tucked in bed, sleeping. But I didn't care I had just let James Potter cling on to me for numerous hours; he was in pain and needed someone there for him. And that person at the moment was me.
