Lily
I walked back over with my potions book and a few sheets of parchment, plus my quill and ink.
"Back already?" James asked, pulling out the chair next to me, for me to sit on, I guess.
"Yeah." I blushed heavily and sat down.
"So we have to write a foot long essay on the truth potion, right?" James asked looking at his own book as I stared into mine.
"Right, lets get started." I said enthusiastically, I always loved getting homework done, it's almost sort of fun for me.
A half hour later we were both done and just talking.
"So do you know if Sirius likes anybody?" I asked, remembering my best friend's request.
"Yeah, but don't tell anyone." He said looking straight into my eyes with his dark rich brown eyes.
"I wont, I promise."
"Ok, he likes your best friend, Sam."
"Really?"
"Yeah, why?" He asked looking surprised.
"Well don't tell anybody but Sam likes him too." I gushed.
"Cool, they would make a cute couple." He noted.
"Yes, they would." I said sort of sadly, thinking James and I would make a cute couple too.
"Did you already do all of your other homework?" James asked.
"All but Charms, I always save my favorite for last." I told him.
"Good, I didn't do Charms yet either, you want to do that together also?" He asked me.
"Sure, we need to people to do it anyway; our assignment was to practice the hair-growth charm with a friend."
"Uh, oh, my hair's already a mess; I wonder how it will look long!" James joked.
"I like your hair messy." I told him, turning crimson.
"Thanks, I sort of do too!" He said.
"Well, let's practice." I said.
"I'll let you do it first on me, I wouldn't want to mess up your beautiful hair." He told me, I blushed even more at that comment.
"Alright then, Hario-Enlargio." I said, making his hair long, but looking really funny.
"Do you know the counter-spell?" He asked brushing hair away from his eyes.
"Yes, Normallia." I said, his hair turned back to normal, "Your turn."
"You trust me?"
"Yes, but if it doesn't work anyway, I know the counter-spell."
"Ok here goes, Hair Englarge." He said badly, making my hair look like a bee-hive.
I pointed my wand at my hair, "Normallia."
"Phew thank goodness you knew the counter-spell, I'm so sorry Lily." He said, laughing and trying to look serious at the same time.
"It's ok, but why don't we ask someone if they have a doll to practice on instead." I said looking around.
"I have an idea, I'll be right back."
I got a doll from this little first year who I tutor and I helped James practice the spell until ten o' clock.
"Hario-Enlargio."
"Perfect James, I think you've learned." I said with a yawn.
"It's getting pretty late, we should return back to the dorms, or at least the common room." James said looking around for a clock.
"Uh oh, it's past curfew, how are we supposed to get to the common room?"
"We are prefects silly Lily." He told me, "Can't we just say we are doing rounds, checking for people who are out of there dorms?"
"But the teachers have the list; they know who does what nights." I said, worrying.
"Alright then we'll use plan B."
"What's plan B?" I asked.
"We'll use my invisibility cloak." James said.
"You have a-" I couldn't finish exclaiming invisibility cloak because James put his hand over my mouth.
"Shh," He whispered, "Nobody's supposed to know."
"Don't worry I wont tell anyone." I said to his hand, he took his hand away.
"What?"
I repeated myself.
"Oh thanks." He said pulling his cloak out of his bag.
We got under the cloak and snuck all the way back to the common room.
