Thank you all once again! Your reviews were very entertaining to read and they are what keep me going! Knowing that I have so much support makes me feel all warm inside. Enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 6
The next morning was quite a bad for Lucius Malfoy. Of course he did have his hair back, but Sirius had made copies of the picture James had taken in potions and had enchanted them to say things like "No! Not my beautiful hair!" Every student and teacher now knew of the incident if they hadn't before.
Sirius sat down next to Lily and James and waved a picture in front of their faces. "Look!" he crowed gleefully. "It's bloody brilliant!"
"Yeah I know Black." Lily sighed. "I have quite a few of them myself."
"How could you not?" Lily looked up to see Sapphire, Arabella, and Remus take a seat at the Gryffindor table. "It was only like the humiliation of the century."
"Yes, I must congratulate you on a prank well pulled my friend." Sirius said to James, ruffling his hair.
James glowed with pride.
"Black!" Lily cried dismayed. "You messed up his hair! Do you know how long it took me this morning to get it into some kind of order?"
"It would've happened eventually." Sirius said with a shrug.
"Hey Sirius, did they find a temporary replacement for Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team?" Remus asked as he piled some eggs on his plate.
"Yup." Sirius said with his mouth full. "Not as good as the one we had before though." Here he gave James a wink, though James couldn't imagine why.
"He's not horrible is he?" Sapphire asked worriedly. She has a right to be concerned; she was one of the other Chasers after all.
"Nah, he's decent." Sirius said reaching for his goblet of pumpkin juice. After taking a swing he turned to James. "Hey, do you want to come watch our Quidditch practice?"
James looked excited. "Ooh can I Lily can I?" he pleaded, jumping up and down in his seat.
Lily looked a little unsure. "I don't know..."
"Come on Lily, it's not like he'll be on the broom. And we can all go watch." Remus said.
It's not as much of the fact that he can hurt himself, it's more like the worry that he'll get ideas Lily thought dryly.
"It's Saturday Lils, let the boy have some fun." Arabella cut in.
Lily looked at James with his pleading eyes and gave in. "Oh okay".
"Yeah!" James cheered punching a tiny fist in the air. "Thank you Lily!" With that, he launched himself at Lily and gave her a big hug, almost knocking her off the bench.
Lily was quite surprised. "You're welcome?"
Sirius grinned. "Let's go now." The six of them got up from the table and headed down to the Quidditch pitch. On the way, they ran into no other than Lucius Malfoy himself.
He gave them all a sneer before saying "I know your little charge is responsible mudblood. Believe me, I will get my revenge." Then he proceeded to walk away.
James glared at him. Was he threatening Lily? He certainly looked very unpleasant. "Hey baldy!" he called out.
Lucius turned around, pinning James with his icy glare.
James smirked. "It looks like all your hair grew back. Too bad. Me thinks you looked much better with no hair."
Malfoy's face grew red with anger. But James didn't stop there.
"Are you sure that they grew it all back? I think you still have a bit of a bald spot right there." James said innocently, pointing to the top of Lucius' hair.
Panic flittered across Malfoy's features. He wasn't loosing his hair again was he? He was just about to pull out his pocket mirror to check when he caught James' smirk. Lucius growled. He did not like being made a fool of twice. "I'll get you Potter." He said angrily before storming away.
"How'd I do?" James asked Remus.
"Brilliant". Remus said with a smile.
"A Malfoy outwitted by a 5-year old." Arabella snorted. "He must have the intellect of an infant."
Five minutes later, Lily, James, Remus, and Arabella were sitting on the stands watching the practice. James sat there with wide eyes taking everything in.
"Lookie lookie Lily! Is that Sirius?" James asked pointing at a blur.
Lily squinted. "I think so."
Practice ended about an hour later.
"Ow Black! That was a hard practice." Sapphire whined rolling her shoulders. She was aching all over.
"Well we need to get used to our new chaser." Sirius said grinning. Then seeing James looking at his broom longingly he said "You wanna fly for a bit?"
James nodded eagerly and ran forward to get the broom. Lily looked nervous. "Are you sure it's safe? Maybe someone should go with him."
"He'll be fine Lily." Sirius said, watching James mount the broom. "James is an awesome flier."
They all watched James zoom around the pitch in awe. He certainly was very talented. Arabella pointed up. "What's that?" She was referring to the blur in the sky that wasn't James.
Sapphire squinted for a moment. Then the shock filled her eyes. "It looks like a bludger!"
Sirius looked at the box that held the Quidditch balls in panic. It was open and one bludger was missing. He looked up and was about to yell a warning but saw it was too late. They all watched in horror as the bludger hit James' right arm and sent him flying off the broom. Remus quickly pulled his wand out and muttered a spell that slowed his fall.
They all ran to James who was now sitting on the ground clutching his right arm and crying. Lily ran ahead of them and opened her arms to hug James.
"Wait Lily! Don't touch him!" Remus called out.
Lily turned around, protectiveness shining in her eyes that a mother would feel for a child. It might have been amusing if the situation wasn't so serious.
"And why not?" Lily said in a deadly tone.
Remus held up his hands in self defense. "Hey hey, calm down. I just meant that you shouldn't shake his arm! It's most likely broken."
Lily looked embarrassed. "Oh."
The rest of the group, minus Sirius who was wrestling the bluger, joined them.
"James are you okay?" Arabella asked concerned.
James shook his head 'no' while the tears streamed down his face.
Sirius walked up. "Is he okay?"
Lily glared at him. "No. No thanks to you." She hit him hard upside the head. "If you hadn't let him go up alone on the broom this would have never happened!"
"Guys calm down!" Sapphire screamed. "We need to get James up to the hospital wing!"
Remus, the only one who was thinking practically at the moment, levitated James up to the infirmary.
"Is he going to be okay Madam Pompfrey?" Lily asked tearfully. James was lying on the white hospital bed still in pain. It almost broke Lily's heart to see him cry.
"He'll be fine Miss Evans." Pomfrey said soothingly. She placed her wand on James' right arm and muttered a spell. A light blue glow surrounded it for a moment and then faded.
James moved his now healed arm slowly.
"Now now, don't get too excited." Madame Pomfrey cautioned. "It's best not to move it too much for a while."
"Does it feel okay James?" Lily asked, still a little worried.
"It just tickles a bit." James replied, now moving his arm in circles.
"Good". Lily leaned over and gave James the hug that she was deprived from earlier.
"Lily" James started, voice a little muffled from his face being pressed into Lily's shoulder.
"Mmh?"
"I love you."
Lily froze. Did he just say what she thought he said? But he was so young! What was she supposed to say?
James pulled away from her embrace and studied her closely. His eyes started to water. "You don't love me do you?"
Lily was speechless. "I-uh". James never said that he loved me. Sure, he asked for dates, but he never said he loved me!
"But my mommy always said she loved me!" James sobbed. Did he do something wrong? Why didn't Lily love him? Now completely depressed, James leapt off the bed and was about to sprint away when a pair of arms wrapped around him.
"Of course I love you James." Lily said soothingly in his ear. I'm so stupid. How could I even think that he meant it in the romantic way? He's only five!
James turned and hugged Lily. "Weally?"
"Really."
Sirius, Remus, Sapphire, and Arabella watched this touching scene from the back of the room.
"Aww" Sapphire cooed. "That is so cute!"
"James finally heard what he wanted to from Lily. Too bad it was in his chibi form." Sirius said.
"He loves her!" Arabella and Sapphire said in shock.
Sirius gave them a strange look. "Duh, it is so obvious."
"Lily!" Remus called.
Lily turned towards the four of them surprised. She had forgotten that they were there.
"Let's go!"
The six of them left the hospital wing with James holding Lily's hand skipping happily. Lily said she loved him!
"Well well, if it isn't the mudblood and her friends once again." Came a mocking voice.
"Malfoy." Sirius hissed.
James frowned in annoyance. Wasn't he that mean person?
Lucius' eyes glinted cruelly. "You know, it would be perfect to deliver you all to the dark lord. Blood traitors (here he looked at Sirius) and mudbloods as well as all the muggle loving fools deserve to die."
Remus had to hold Sirius back to keep him from lunging.
"You're one to talk you stupid piece of filth." Sapphire spat, narrowing her eyes.
James looked at all his friends critically. They all looked especially angry. From what he understood, baldy had insulted them as well as muggles. James was sure that he had also made said something about 'the dark lord' but he wasn't positive. James wasn't sure that he like the sound of this 'dark lord'.
"My mommy said that insulting people was bad baldy." James said in a scolding tone to Lucius.
Lucius sneered. "Well your mommy is another idiotic mudblood loving fool so why should anyone listen to her?"
James narrowed his eyes. He was angry. Nobody insulted his family and got away with it. With a war cry, he launched himself at a startled Malfoy and bit his hand as hard as he could.
"Yow!" Lucius cried. "The stupid brat bit me!" Clear bite marks could be seen on his right hand. It was slowly turning red and looked like it was swelling up.
James made a disgusted face. "You taste bad."
Lucius sent one last glare in the direction of the five hysterical friends and James and stormed away.
"Brilliant James, brilliant!" Sirius howled.
"Did you see his face?" Arabella gasped out.
"Too bad we didn't get a picture this time!" Lily giggled.
"James, you are absolutely wonderful, do you know that?" Sapphire said.
James swelled with pride. "I know."
"Stop or you'll give him an inflated ego." Remus grinned.
James pouted. He loved compliments.
"Don't worry James, you still get a reward." Lily said.
"Really?" James said excitedly. "What it is?"
"A big bar of Honeyducks best chocolate." Sapphire said, slinging an arm around his tiny shoulders.
"Yeah!" James yelled, running in the direction towards Gryffindor tower. He wanted that chocolate!
"James wait!" Lily yelped. The five of them took off after the tiny figure.
A/N: How was the chapter? The biting part was ironically inspired by my own brother. At my dad's bbq this Sunday, one of his friends was taking my brother and tossing him in the pool. My brother finally got so annoyed; he bit my dad's friend in the shoulder! My friend and I were cracking up. It was hilarious, so I was like hey! I could use this in this story! Anyway, I am EXTREMELY sorry for any mistakes in this chapter. My wonderful beta is currently on the plane for a 3-week vacation! –sniff- Please review and make me happy!
P.S. Here's another question: Who would you rather cuddle with, a five year old James Potter or the 16 year old? Question asked by Miss Kay-Chan. Thank you for the question!
P.P.S. Another question: would you prefer a chibi Remus or Sirius? Question asked by HanSolosGal. Thank you for the question!
P.P.P.S. Feel free to give ideas for another question!
