A/N: Hey guys i have started my whole story over again. Hope you like it..Plz R&R.. Enjoy!
James Potter sat in the Gryffindor bathroom stall with a razor to his wrist. Blood streaming down his arm from a previous cut on his wrist.
James Potter is a 16 year old boy in his second to last year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was an only child so his friends were like his brothers.
He was also part of the four-man prankster group "The Marauders". Their names in the group are Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, or more simply MWPP. Their real names are Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and James Potter.
He was sitting in the stall cutting himself because he was depressed. He is depressed because he has just lost his cousin Samantha and her family to the Dark Lord.
There was a knock on the door of the stall. James jumped and summoned some bandages to cover the cuts on his wrist.
'Who is it?' James called
'Prongs its Padfoot' Sirius replied
James opened the door and headed over to sinks to wipe his face.
'Prongs mate, are you ok?'
'Yeah I'm ok.'
'Right, well that Evans girl was looking for you.' Sirius told James nonchalantly.
'Evans? Looking for me? Why?' James asked in disbelief.
'Something about you, her and a prefect meeting tonight, or should I say an hour ago.'
'Oh Shit!' James exclaimed
'What's up?'
'I can't believe I forgot about the meeting! I am such a fucking idiot!' James said angrily
'Woah! Prongs mate, calm down' Sirius said worriedly
James calmed down and he and Sirius walked out of the bathroom and walked back towards Gryffindor Tower.

As James and Sirius climbed through the portrait hole, James was immediately attacked verbally by Lily Evans.
'James!' She yelled
James flinched, Lily was scary when she was angry.
'Yes Lillian?' James tried to ask calmly
'Why were you not at the prefect meeting?' she asked him grumpily.
'I'm sorry Lily, I completely forgot and lost track of time.' James apologized and yet looked sad all the same.
Lily decided that she would have to sleep on what she was going to do to James in the morning.
'Ok, well I am off to bed now everyone, night everyone.' Lily called
Everyone mumbled goodnight and they all walked to their own dormitories.
'Prongs, are you sure your ok?' Sirius asked
'Alright…no I'm not…you know that letter Owly brought me on Monday?'
'Yes.' Sirius said while waiting for James to continue
James gulped while trying to think how to explain the death of his cousin to Sirius…because he knew that Sirius had a BIG crush on her.
'Well it was from my mum saying that Samantha and her family were found in their house…they were killed by the Dark Lord on the weekend.' James stuttered, while tears formed in his eyes.
'N…No! Stop lying James.' Sirius said angrily.
'Sirius, I am not lying to you, this is the truth.' James pleaded
'James just leave me alone alright?' Sirius cried
Sirius stalked to his four poster and closed the curtains around him.
James felt really bad about telling Sirius now and decided to go down to the common room. He carefully got on his slippers and tiptoed out of the dormitory door, leading tom the common room.
When James got downstairs, he went and sat in front of the dying fire. He sat in the big armchair closest to the fire and though about what the letter from his mother had said.
Suddenly he heard the creak of a door and jumped. He turned around and saw Lily coming down the girl's dormitory staircase.
'Lily... what are you doing down here?' He asked curiously
'Huh? James? Oh, I'm down here cause I can't sleep. What about you?'
'Oh, yeah I can't sleep either.' He replied
'Ok' she said plainly
James sat back down in his armchair and suddenly his emotions took over. Lily looked around.
'James? Are you ok?' She asked worriedly
'What? Oh yeah….um no.' He stuttered
'What's wrong James?'
'Oh it's just that I got a letter from my mum saying…' He paused
'Yes?'
'Saying that my cousin and her family were…well they were murdered by the Dark Lord on the weekend.'
'Oh gosh! James i'm so sorry.' She said sadly
'It's ok.'
'No! I can't believe that.' She said really sadly
James turned around and wiped his eyes and also to think about what he was doing. He took a deep breath.
'Lily, I was…well I was wondering if you would like to come with me to Hogsmeade next weekend.' He asked nervously
'Oh James!' she squealed, 'Of course I'll go with you!'
'Really?'
'Yes!'
They looked into each others eyes and leaned into kiss, when they were interrupted by a voice that James recognized.
'Sirius!' James yelled
'What? Am I "interrupting something"?'
'Um…no James was just telling me why he was down here.' Lily stuttered
'Yes…i'm sure he was.' Sirius replied
'Sirius go back upstairs and I will meet you up there. Please!' James pleaded
' Yes Mother!' Sirius replied sarcastically.
Sirius retreated upstairs to wait for James.
Meanwhile Lily and James were downstairs saying goodnight.
'Goodnight James' Lily said shy but happily
'Goodnight Lily'
He turned to walk upstairs when Lily called him back.
'James!'
' Yes Lily?'
Lily kissed James on the cheek, turned and ran up the girls dormitory stairs.
James smiled to himself and went upstairs.
