Ch 7: Grasshoppers
Soon James was better and was able to attend classes. He was greeted
by the entire Gryffindor house in the Common Room on the night he was let
out of the Hospital Wing. Since they had been unable to celebrate the
night of the match they decided to throw the party that night. James
walked in to find the room full of happy students drinking butterbeer and
eating an assortment of tasty treats, including pumpkin pastries and
walrus whoozies. He walked towards the stack of Fried Fangs but was
immediately bombarded by his friends.
"Hello Prongs! Care to join us in a few rounds of 'Pretty Kitty,' if you
catch my drift," Sirius said with a wink, pointing to a group of giggling
girls.
"Um, no thanks," he replied, looking at the girls.
Sirius looked at his friend strangely for a few moments, then said "Suite
yourself," and walked away. James watched him sit down beside an
exceptionally pretty girl and put his arm around her. He whispered
something in her ear, and the girl laughed. Remus was having a
conversation with another girl, who actually looked interested in his
friend's intellectual lecture. Peter was the most evolved, and was in a
corner snogging a girl that resembled a moose with fleas. He turned
around and looked at the stack of fried fangs, which was steadily
decreasing.
He had finally reached the snack table when he saw Lily standing a few
feet away from him. He picked up a plate and walked towards her end of
the table.
"Hey," he said casually.
"Oh, hi," Lily said, "I didn't know you were out of the Hospital Wing
already."
"You don't think they would throw this party without their star seeker,
do you?"
"No I suppose not. What do you think these are," she said while pocking
at a large fuzzy white ball.
"Probably Pod Tarts. Supposedly they make your tongue fuzzy for a few
minutes. Heard they can have some horrible effects though" Lily
immediately put the pod tart back onto the platter and picked up a walrus
whoozie instead.
"So how's it going with you and Remus?" James asked.
"Good. Couldn't be better." Said Lily, but for some reason James didn't
think it sounded too convincing.
"Well that's great."
"What about you? How's the love life?"
"Could be better."
"You mean to say that the famous James Potter is girlfriend-less?"
"Yup."
"Don't you like somebody?"
"Well..." but just at that moment Remus walked up behind Lily kissed her
neck. For some reason Lily felt uncomfortable and pulled away.
"Looked like you were having fun," she said, a little meaner than she had
meant.
"I'll just be leaving now," said James uneasily, and then walked away.
"Oh Lily you know we were just talking!" said Remus.
"I know, I know. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you."
"Its ok. I understand."
*
James decided to talk to Sirius so he went over to him and disturbed
his.... shall we say, fun.
"What the hell do you want?" Sirius said, obviously a little aggravated
that he had been taken away.
"We need to talk."
"Oh no, Jamesie, you aren't going to break up with me are you?" he said
sarcastically.
"This is serious! (No pun intended.)"
"Ok, what is it. And can you make this kinda fast?"
"Its about Lily and Remus."
"Oh."
"Oh what?"
"Just oh. Continue."
"Well, what's happening between them? Have they been-"
"Fighting a lot? Yeah. Ever since your accident. Its gotten quite vicious
actually."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"Do you think-"
"We may never know."
"Hmm... What am I gonna do?"
"Patience, Grasshopper, your time shall come." And with that he went back
to his unsightly pleasures, leaving James absolutely flabbergasted as to
what to do.

I know this chappie was really short, but it looked like a good place to
stop. I have a problem though: I don't know if in the next chapter I
should continue the party or make it end. There's only one way for me to
know. You review! I know it's just a ton of hard work, but at least then
I would know how to write the next chapter for your enjoyment! So go
ahead, review! Nobodies stopping ya!
