Disclaimer- I still own nothing but the shoes on my feet and the twisted logic in my head. American idiot belongs to green day and harry potter to J.k. Rowling. This story and the concept of fusing the two? Well that's all me.

I took off like a shot after Lily. My God did she look HOT. Where was the frizzy haired, little good girl bookworm? And was this redhead rebel in a Ramones t-shirt and neon orange converse going to stay? I weave in and out of other wizards doing their shopping, bumping into a few until I caught up with Evens.

"Hey babe, did it hurt?" I slid and arm around Lily's shoulder; she shrugged it off giving me a look of repulsion.

"What the bloody hell are you talking about Potter, did what hurt?" she gave me a once over and then scoffed.

"When you fell from heaven, just wondering if it hurt," wow where did that come from, James Potter does NOT under any circumstances use pickup lines, especially over used cliché ones like that, who do you think I am Sirius?

"If you are not away from my personal bubble by the count of five I'm so smacking your arse Potter."

"I was just wondering about your safety is all," I muttered innocently, making eye contact with her chest.

"What the hell is your malfunction? Last year you wouldn't give me the time of day, now you're going about using faulty pick up lines, do you like to toy with girls' minds? Of course you do because you are a narcissistic, egotistical, sexist prat who never gives a thought about anyone but himself." She turned and walked away.

I just stood their gaping like a rather large and dreadfully handsome trout that just found himself on the end of some fishermen's line.

"I think it's a sign of the apocalypse," said that oily despicable voice from behind me.

"Go to hell Snivellus," I growled turning around with my fist clenched.

"Oh temper temper, can take being shot down Potter?" he was taunting me. I do not like to be taunted!

"I'm warning you Snivellus!" I glared at him, it was a look that could kill a rampant wildebeest. At least I figured it could I've never encountered a rampant wildebeest.

What are you going to do Potter? You haven't got your wand or Sirius to help you beat me up," he gave me a glare back. Oh he had it coming to him, I can't be held responsible for what I did next.

Because what I did next left him in the dirt on his arse clutching a gushing bleeding nose.

"I don't need Sirius to fight for me Snivellus, I can beat you down in one shot," I growled and then walked away.

"Potter! What on earth did you hit him for, you barbaric fool!" I groaned inwardly. I forgot Lily was 'friends' with Snivellus. Damn it all she hated violence.

"He started it," I said meekly.

"Well I'm so glad that you had to be such a man and hit him, when you know full well what damage it could have caused. Did no one ever teach you to use your words?" she snapped and stood up and strode towards me. God she could act just like McGonagall when she wanted to.

"You James Potter are not a prat, oh no you're a a Fink and Prick and Bastard. I hope you rot in hell!" she slapped me. The little fucking bookworm punk rock hottie slapped me.

Then she walked away. And it started to rain.

Most of the onlookers dissipated into the shelter of the shops. I stood out in the street letting the rain soak me to the skin I was in. No girl had ever turned me down and slapped me in the same day. No one ever had taken Snivellus's side over my own. No one. No one made me feel like Evens did and no one hurt me more.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked it was Sirius. "Saw the whole thing mate, whattya say we put off shopping till tomorrow." He asked giving me a sympathetic smile.

"I don't need fucking pity Padfoot!"

"Yes you do!"

"No I don't!"

"Yes you do!"

"No I don't!"

"Not that I want to interrupt this riveting conversation, but can we go inside now, I'm beginning to look like a drowned rat." Remus broke our fun little game with once again the voice of logic. Damn orange juice and our friend's love of it. Damn it to HELL!

So I put my hands in the pockets of my pants once more and we walked causally into the Leaky Cauldron.

"God I felt like my shadow's the only own that walks beside me" I sighed slumping into a chair at the table with the broken leg near the stairs

"But… uhh… mate you've got both of us walking with you, we are just not singing," Sirius said bending down to tie his shoes.

"What the hell?" I asked looking at him with one eyebrow raised.

"Erm… don't ask…"

"I say old man why did you allow us to get soaked? That's not good for the longevity of your shoes," his converses were talking again.

"Why on earth would one hex their shoes to talk?" Remus looked bemused down at the shoes, which were squabbling.

"Remember how I had that free period with out you guys? Well I got bored and hexed them to talk."

"And we didn't notice this till now because?" I asked waving my hand for emphasis.

"Because the spell didn't take effect until the smell got bad enough for them to have a life of their own," Sirius shrugged.

"That is disgusting!" Remus wrinkled his noes just as the waitress came.

"What can I get for you chaps?" she smiled sweetly, I recognized her as Rosalie a Hufflepuff seventh year last year that I think Remus shagged her at one point or another. I guess he recognized her to because his ears turned bright red.

"Hmm I'll have scotch on the rocks and I don't know what these two will have."

"Orange juice," Remus said not looking at Rosalie.

"Oh I don't care, James is paying so I'll have one of every beer you have on tap," Sirius said brightly.

"Righto, and I'll just pretend you three are of drinking age all right," she winked and walked away.

"Yeah because you have to be 21 to drink orange juice," I said rolling my eyes.

"Indeed," Remus was looking at a spot on the table with the fascination of an A.D.D 5th year that has seen something shinny.

See here was just another example of why Remus was the sane one, the logical one. He never gloated about the girls he had like Sirius and I did, normally we would just find out because he'd be all, "oh yeah I shagged so and so last night, hey could you pass the sausages please?" he wasn't up for the whole one night stand thing either, I mean being a werewolf you would think he would be, I don't know more in tuned with his animal side or something. I guess he could clearly separate what was fucked up and what was all right in his head. But at least he had an excuse now, Rosalie had been very into the 'lets get married and have a big family and stuff, I don't care that you're a werewolf.' But Remus wasn't having any of it. Thank god he thinks logically.

So Rosalie brought our drinks, at the same moment Lily, Margie, and the only openly gay member of the Griffendor house, Alex. He got transferred to the girl's dorm in 4th year when he realized he liked boys. Alex is cool, I'll be the first to admit that, even if he did have a monster crush on me in 5th year and sent me mushy love letters and stuff and flatly denied it. But anyway he is Lily's best friend, along with another Griffendor girl Tiara… but they aren't really all that important.

"Guys, can we like oh I don't know leave now?' I asked looking over that Lily and company.

"What ashamed to see her?" Sirius joked.

"No I'm afraid she is going to cause me bodily harm!"

"Oh right then, let's go shall we?" Sirius gathered up his beer (hey he asked for everyone on tap, the Leaky Cauldron only has it's home brew on tap) and stood up throwing their Knuts on the table.

"Wow big spender, aren't you," Remus drawled.

"Hey I lost a bet this morning and you wouldn't agree to help me win it back. I'm flat broke!" he shrugged and then downed the last of his beer.

"Get a job mate," I laughed paying for the rest of the bill and leaving a tip for Rosalie.

"Nope I'd rather slum it at your house," he put an arm around my shoulders in a really brotherly way and stuff.

"God are those two shagging?" I heard Margie mutter to Lily as we passed their table.

"Possibly we all know James is a nympho," Lily shrugged and sipped her soda.

I gritted my teeth and shrugged Sirius away from me. He and Remus just laughed

"Padfoot money!" I growled through my teeth.

"Yes," they chorused in unison.

"I know where you sleep."

That shut them both right up.

We got over to the fireplace and I took a pinch of the floo powder in the glass bowl next to it and sighed, " Potter Flats," and instantly I was whooshed back to my home where I landed on the floor on my face. God I hate floo powder.

The others came pretty soon after me.

"Wormtail love we're home!" Sirius called singsong like. There was no reply.

"Must be passed out somewhere," I shrugged and we went to look for him.

We checked the living room, the backyard both bathrooms my moms room, my dads room the basement all the closets and the kitchen. There was no Wormtail.

"We lost Wormtail," I sighed ominously

"Damn!" Sirius muttered. Remus kicked him in the shin.

A/n- hey all! So I got myself a beta reader, two if you want to get technical about it. My best buddies Chrisonthy (sorry if I spelt your name wrong love) and Johanna. Must love friends no? So keep reviewing and keep reading! Hey got a favorite green day song? If it's on any cd but kerplunk let me know. I'll try and work it into the story line.
