Chapter Three: A New Form of "Note-taking"

Thirteen year-old James Potter was zooming across the Quidditch pitch chasing the Snitch during the first match of the season. The Snitch was headed towards the Gryffindor section of the stadium, speeding toward a Gryffindor girl from what he could see. He managed to catch the Snitch before it hit her face. When he moved his arm, what he saw took his breath away. A radiant girl with luscious auburn hair and bright green eyes that sparkled like diamonds staring back at him with shock. At that moment in time, James knew that he was going to marry her...little did he know that he was heading towards a very painful road...

James was awoken by Sirius poking him on the shoulder incessantly.

"What?" said James full of annoyance.

"Shower's free!" said Sirius. James groaned but got up and took the shower.

When they were all showered and changed, they went down to breakfast seeing that Lily, Alexa, and Kayla were already there. They slowly made their way down and took a seat next to the girls.

"Good morning ladies!" said Sirius with his famous, charming smile.

"Good morning Sirius!" smiled Kayla cheerfully and very perky. 'Merlin her smile is so amazing' thought Sirius.

"How are you this awake?" murmured Alexa.

"We must brace the morning!" cried Kayla dramatically. Alexa rolled her eyes and ate her piece of toast.

"What does it say in the Prophet?" asked Remus in between bites.

"Let's see..." Alexa took out the paper and stared at the front cover in shock.

"What does it-" Remus was then cut off when a black raven-like owl flew in and started to circle the Great Hall. Everyone followed it in silence. It finally landed near a third year in Hufflepuff. When she opened the letter and read its contents she started to sob. All the Hufflepuffs tried to comfort her while the Slytherins started to snigger.

"What just happened?" asked Lily, staring at the Hufflepuff girl who was now running out of the Great Hall.

"That owl gives death notices." said James shortly, as if saying it would make the owl bring him a death notice too.

"Yeah it's terrible...Merlin why do other people have to suffer? Why can't some of my family die?" asked Sirius.

"We know mate, but you know why they can't." said Peter.

"Yeah, I know." said Sirius frowning. He then started to take out a small glass with a red line around the bottom of it.

"Sirius...what's that for?" asked Kayla.

"Well, every morning ever since I was 7, I always had 3.14 glasses of pumpkin juice and this red line is the .14 mark. It's a superstition of mine." said Sirius, blushing.

"I never heard of it." said Kayla thoughtfully.

"And if he doesn't get 3.14 glasses of pumpkin juice...believe me, it will get ugly." said James, shuddering.

"Why? He once didn't?" asked Alexa.

"Yeah it was at my house two years ago...we ran out of pumpkin juice and...let's just say the rest of the day wasn't much fun for me." James said as Professor McGonagall passed the schedules down the table.

"Let's see...NEWT Defense Against the Dark Arts...nice! We can pass notes the whole time..."

"Potter! This subject is very important this year!" scolded Lily.

"I know all the stuff and beyond NEWTs." answered James.

"And how might that be?" Lily questioned.

"My parents are two of the top Aurors in the department." James responded by somewhat bragging.

"Oh." was all Lily said in return.

"Yeah, anyways...Divination...that sucks!" Alexa's face brightened up.

"No, it's actually interesting! I got a crystal ball for my birthday last year! I tried it but I didn't really get that far..."

"Yeah ok then we have NEWT Potions...double? Merlin, bad morning..."

"THEN LUNCH!" exclaimed Sirius.

After the plates cleared everyone started to move to their class. Peter went a different way because he was in a different class. What was left of the Marauders, Lily, Alexa, and Kayla walked to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. As everyone settled down, Professor Baldwick started to talk about some defensive spells. Sirius, James, and Remus were too busy passing notes to even pay attention.

Sirius: Hey Jamesie! I see you haven't drooled at Lily yet this morning!

James: Shut it Padfoot.

Remus: Lily is being nicer to you...

James: Yeah but rememeber that she has Matt...

Sirius: Oh come on! He is practically like us! Popular, a lady charmer, intellegent, except we are trouble makers but hey! That is our specialty.

James: Not to mention that he is taller than me...Man he's over 6 feet and he's strong...

Remus: Prongs you're strong too! Well maybe not as strong as him...and maybe you're not 6 feet but you're a much better person than him.

James: Thanks Moony.

Sirius: Let's invite Kayla and them.

James: ASK KAYLA OUT.

Sirius: No! This needs to be done at the right moment. I have to wait.

James: Fine let's invte them then.

As Lily was taking notes on what the professor was saying, words that she didn't write blossomed onto the page.

Sirius: Hey! It's Sirius! This is a new form of note passing! James, Remus, and I invented it over the summer.

Lily: Very effective, I'm impressed.

James: Yes, well we do try.

Lily: Don't flatter yourself.

James: I'm not! Seriously! I'm going to invite Kayla and Alexa.

Alexa: How did you do this?

Kayla: Who cares? It's so cool!

Sirius: Yes, it is isn't it?

Remus: What is he talking about anyway?

Alexa: Ugh, it's just review spells that we did in like second year! Boring!

Remus: Yeah, thank Merlin we saved you from the boredom huh?

Alexa: I greatly appreciate it.

Kayla: So Sirius, what's up with your family?

Sirius: Umm...I don't exactly like talking about it.

James: Do you want me to?

Sirius: No, I can do it! I'm a big boy!

James: Huh...really?

Sirius: Shut up. Well my family is basically an evil bunch of Voldemort supporters. Every single member of our family was placed in Slytherin. Except I broke the trend and they hated me for it. Unlike my twerp brother Regulus. Anyway, I ran away from them in sixth year and I was officially disowned from the family! Now I live with James and his family!

Kayla: I'm so sorry! I had no idea!

Sirius: No, nobody really does except the Slytherins.

Alexa: So Bellatrix Black is related to you?

Sirius: Yep. Sadly enough she is my cousin.

Kayla: That sucks. She's really mean.

Sirius: No kidding. She kept talking about this Lestrange guy and how they keep breaking up and getting back together. They won't ever be in my future after I get out of Hogwarts.

Alexa: You never know...she might play a pretty big role in your life...

Sirius: Shut up Alexa.

Alexa: I'm just saying!

Remus: I think we should consider Alexa's word...I mean she is the only person in the school who gets near perfect grades in Divination and is practically considered a Seer.

Sirius: Now you're siding with Alexa! Have a little faith that I won't have to suffer from her!

Remus: It's not like I don't want her out of your life! I'm just saying you might re-encounter in the future.

Sirius: James? You have been awfully quiet.

James: Sorry. I was just thinking of my parents...since they are going to all these attack sites. What if they don't come back from one?

Kayla: Don't think that! Be positive and support your parents.

Lily: Yeah, Julie's right. Don't think about that until they go on another mission.

Just then the bell rang and everyone left for their next period.

"Divination!"

"No!" groaned Sirius and James.

"Oh stop complaining!" reprimanded Lily.

They started walking up the staircase and ladder to the classroom and saw the very frail professor gazing through the crystal ball. When she saw James sit down she pointed at him.

"You my dear will have a roller coaster of emotions during the next few months!" she whispered dramatically. James and Sirius rolled their eyes, Alexa looked concerned, Kayla yawned, and Lily was getting out her supplies.

"Today my dears we are going to look at tea leaves!"

"Professor we did those 4 years ago." stated Kayla.

"Yes! But now your minds have broadened! You know what to do!"

Everyone went to get a tea cup out of the cabinet and then paired up. Sirius with James, Alexa with Kayla, and Remus with Lily. They switched cups after 15 minutes.

"What does mine say?" James asked, going through the motions but not caring one bit.

"Let's see...there is a sun! So something good is going to happen! But then there's this little thingy..."

"Wow, very specific Padfoot." said James sarcastically.

"I don't know what it is but under it...it says that it represents pain either physically or emotionally...hmm...this is crap." concluded Sirius.

"Yep!"

Alexa and Kayla were seated next to them.

"Ok, so what does mine say? I'm not really into the whole tea leaves too much." said Alexa.

"Well...hmmm...there is a moon in the cup...I wonder what that means. Ugh! What am I saying? I don't care!" replied Kayla.

"Ok nevermind then. Let me read yours. In your cup it shows...well, I know this symbol represents love. Huh. I see Sirius is getting closer to you..."

"Oh! How I hope so!" said Julie.

Remus and Lily were at the table across from them.

"Ok Remus, I see there is love in your future!" said Lily. Remus blushed. "Let's see...ok the rest is all just a glob of tea leaves." Remus laughed.

"Ok then my turn to try and decipher your glob of tea leaves. Hmm...love seems to be in your future as well, but wow! According to the book here, it says that you are falling in love fast...interesting...ok we are done!" Lily couldn't help but repeat those words in her head, 'It says that you are falling in love fast...' Luckily the bell saved her from thinking about it even more.

"Potions...we have to run." said Sirius.

"Ok and whoever wins gets a free butterbeer from everyone!" shouted James, already halfway down the hall.

"We cannot run in the halls!" exclaimed Lily.

"Oh, right." frowned James and they dragged their feet the rest of the way to the potions dungeon.
