grease fire hatred
The day proceeded rather repetitively. First roll call then Teachers told them about the class, they took notes and then they saw a demonstration (easily the most exiting part).
After lunch the first years had potions. James, Peter, Remus and Sirius went to potions. James saw rather oily looking kid he thought he had seen yesterday at the sorting. He had long black hair that didn't seem to have been washed (ever) a long hook nose that his hair kept getting near making it greasy too.
The kid didn't realize he was being watched and went up behind the beautiful redhead (After all the roll call he thought her name was Lily). Pointed a rather crude looking wand her and whispered what sounded like "flagrate" and drew a big X on Lily's back pack. James was quick as soon as he got there Lily looked back saw the fire growing slowly saw James and screamed. She thru the back pack off and ran. James stomped out the fire and was relieved.
James thought "where is that greasy boy?" but before he could find out a voice called from behind him.
"Potter here now!" he spun around. Down the hall was a livid looking professor McGonagall standing next to Lily in tears. James walked down the hall looking back to his friends they looked confused.
McGonagall was furious at him even though James didn't understand why he had stopped the greasy boy from hurting Lily and yet McGonagall kept muttering thing like "never would have thought it from this family" or "My own house" even "it was such and awful thing to do".
They got to McGonagall's office and she told him to sit so he did. He asked "Um. . . Mam what did I do?"
This was the wrong thing to say for at it she exploded "WHAT DID YOU DO! YOU SET FIRE TO AN INNOCENT GIRL'S PROPERTY! THAT IS WHAT YOU DID!"
James was shocked. He hadn't expected this but then he realized he was the only one who had seen the boy set fire to the bag and he was standing behind Lily right when the fire was discovered. "NO. I didn't start that fire that greasy kid did it!"
"Mr. Potter you were right behind her when the fire was started!"
"No I got there right after he started the fire to try and put it out!"
"Ms.Evans saw you start the fire!"
They both turned to Lily she blushed and said "well I didn't SEE him start it but he was right there!"
McGonagall sighed "Mr. Potter who was this greasy boy?"
James was flustered "well I don't know his name . . . but he had greasy black hair and an oily nose."
"And where did he go after he set the fire?"
"Well, I wanted to put out the fire so I didn't really check." James said knowing what this would mean.
"Well then Mr. Potter I'm afraid that since you have no proof and Ms. Evans has
Hallway full of students I am going to have to give you detention and take 50 points for an unprovoked attack on a student.
James groaned this was unbelievable his first day and already he lost 50 points and gotten detention this must be a record.
he looked over to lily she still looked shocked though now that it was wearing down she looked angry and vengful though still hurt. james wanted revenge on that grease ball.
