Yeah, so, that was a kind of weird chapter, and it probably made no sense to you, but I'm working on that little problem! I was trying really hard to finish that chapter of Hidden Lives before posting another chapter of this (I find it easier to update according to which was written first), so it took me forever to get to here! Okay, the school year is about to start, and it will be an entire year reading on So, maybe that will help me post more often!
Power-of-the-lightening-bolt: yeah, I love the song, too! It's sung by the Beatles, and it's one of my favorites by them. Thank you, again! I know I'm not the best writer in the world right now, but I was reading some of my earlier chapters, AND I WAS TERRIBLE! I mean, seriously, was I really that bad, or had aliens taken over my brain while I was sleeping and started living my life for me until I started playing my music so loud that they were chased out of my head and took over our Swedish house cleaner? Wow, try saying that five times fast! Ha, I say that way too much, but I guess that that doesn't matter…

Yeah, I know, I only got three reviews, STOP MOCKING ME! Okay, so, you might not be mocking me, but I don't really care, I'm trying to make you feel guilty… Well, I guess I just gave away my evil plan, now to get to the point.
Disclaimer: If I were J.K. Rowling, I would be married, have three kids, and live in a HUGE house in Scotland. None of the guys in my life are worth marrying; I have too much life to live out before I have a kid, much less three. And, last but not least, I'm sure that you can tell by my writing (or my profile) that I am from the U.S; so why would I be living in Scotland?
James's POV
So, the sky has been trying to flood us for, oh, say, THREE HOURS! IS THIS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE ANOTHER NOAH'S ARK KIND OF A THING OR ARE WE JUST LIVING THROUGH THE END OF THE WORLD?
Okay, inhale, exhale. Alright, I'm over being angry! Yes, the world is all happy and peppy!
Okay, I think I've been spending a little too much time with George… but that's okay, because I'm supposed to be telling you what's up with my life. Why you want to know, I don't really know, but I'll just tell you anyway!
So, I'm in a band. Yeah, you heard me, a band. I know, I seem like to much of a loser to be in a band, don't I? Yeah, well, I am in a band. So, deal with it. Yes, a band, as in, the kind with instruments, that hangs out and writes music. Well, that is, we would write music if we an inspiration! We used to write a whole bunch of music, but that was then, and this is now.
Well, now that I think about it, it really wasn't that long ago, maybe a month or two, but we've been down in the dumps a lot lately. Or, rather,I've been down in the dumps. And the band just kind of followed.
Why am I so down in the dumps, you ask? Remus calls it "my utterly confusing, minor type of depression". The thing is, there's nothing minor about it. It's infiltrated my life, changed my sense of style, and changed the way I treat my friends. Well, most of them, but not her.
Yes, her. I know, I also seem like too much of a loser to have a her in my life. And you would be right, because I don't. I did, though. She was the best thing that ever happened to me, but we're not together anymore.
I don't know why we broke up, I think we got in an argument over something and decided that we should just be "friends". Have you ever heard of a couple that decided to just be "friends", and it worked out? I know I haven't. All of the stories that I know of, they go from being the worlds' best pair, to "friends", to the worlds' best marriage. Well, guess what? If I told you that that was going to happen, then I'd be lying, because that's a fairy tail lie, and this is reality. Well, let me tell you, life really sucks when the one you love most doesn't even notice how upset you really are, and you know nothing's ever going to change. It's only been two months since we broke up, which was a month after we got out of Hogwarts, but it seems like a lifetime.
I suppose I should tell you who she is. Lily is her name. She's perfect. She's not you're usual girl, I'll tell you that much. She hates make up, her favorite thing to do is sit down and play music all day long, and the day you see her getting her long, gorgeous, red hair done will be the end of time. Her favorite spot to go is the tree in the back yard, she likes playing hockey in the back yard, and she sleeps later then anyone else in the house.
Like I said before, we went out once, but we broke up after a while. I don't know what BS was going through my head when I let her escape, but it's screwed up my life. Sure, we still see each other every day, but it's not like it's going to be that way forever. You see, she wants to go to art school, and, seeing as she's a pure genius, there's not a college out there that would be stupid enough to turn her down, so she'll probably be leaving for that soon enough. I may as well start playing "Taps", while I'm at it, because, I think I forgot to mention it, but this freak, Voldemort, is trying to kill all of the muggles and muggleborn that take up the world. Yeah, her parents are muggles, and they hate my guts.
So, if she goes out into the world, and I don't see her as often as I do now, how would I know if she died? What would I do if that happened? I think I'd simply have to kill myself, because, I may have friends, but my life revolves around her.
Now, back to where I was about, say, a million years ago! Lily is in the band, and so are Sirius, Remus, and Peter. We had written a lot of music before Lily and I broke up, but it's been kaput since then. Sirius still tries to get something on paper and call it a song, but, what's the use?
So, we share a house. That is, Lily, Sirius, Remus, and I. Yes, Lily is the only female here, but she's used to it. We used to hang out with another girl, Gretchen, but she died a month after we got out of Hogwarts. Lily says that she has another girlfriend (I wonder if that's why we broke up), but she moved to France some time ago.
We're just sitting here, in the loft. As usual. We're bored out of our minds. As usual. I'm sitting here wondering when the world is going to flood over, when, suddenly, I hear the garage door open underneath. That's weird, why would someone come visit us on a day like this? Their car pulls inside. Wait, I thought that Lily's the only one that has a car! We hear the car door slam and someone get out.
Lily goes towards the stairs, Sirius puts down his guitar, Remus gets off of the floor, and we all listen. All of a sudden, we hear someone start to sing.
Her voice is like an angel, soft and beautiful. We turn to Lily, who is nearest the stairs. A look of realization dawn on her beautiful face as she runs down the stairs so fast it's surprising that she doesn't fall. Next thing we hear is high pitched squealing that you hear when a when a girl is excited.
We run down the stairs to see what on earth could make Lily squeal and get a surprise. Standing there, talking so fast that you can hardly comprehend what she's saying without hurting yourself, was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my entire life.
Her brown hair is almost as short as mine, with blue streaks all throughout it. Her eyes are so blue that they seem to see right through you, making you feel ice cold. She had four earings running down her left ear, and she had a tiny nose ring. She was wearing black parachute pants and a blue tee-shirt underneath a black cloak. I had to strain myself from drooling. Suddenly I realized that Lily was talking to me.
"Yeah, guys, this is Nona; Nona, this is James, this is Sirius, and this is Remus" she said.
Nona's musical laugh brought me back to life; I noticed that I was staring. "I know I gorgeous, but you don't have to stare that much, god!" she said, laughing.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Come on, Nona, I'll show you around the house" she said, leading Nona from the garage.
I didn't see Nona too much that afternoon, she and Lily spent the time catching up on things, but I thought about her wonderful smile and her beautiful laugh all night long. Upstairs, I could hear them laughing late into the night. As I slowly drifted off to sleep, I slowly felt my depression lifting.
