Chapter 4: A Never Forgetting Humiliation.
The sun finally rose over the horizon, cascading its brightness of light upon the castle with the bustling of students preparing for the new day. Madam Lastian had collected the rather bruised and weak form of Remus Lupin where he lay on one of the hospital bed, recuperating from the event of the previous night.
The concern he held for his friend that night drove the werewolf inside of him to break lose as the werewolf battered Remu's body into a limp form in the morning.
James was not all different from Remus' condition, apart from not having transformed into any murderous creature, instead into a jealousy out raged boy. All night he tossed and turned in his four poster bed, not getting a wink of sleep.
The three Marauders sauntered their way to the hospital wing before they went down to the great hall for breakfast. They walked in silence through the corridor as Sirius and Peter glance back and forth as they followed James in front. Neither had said anything about the previous night to him, but just a good morning and Sirius suggesting that they should visit Remus before lessons started.
Walking through the door, they spotted their friend and final member of the Marauders sitting on his bed eating a bowl of porridge, the only substance his body could handle. As the three boys moved further into the room, Remus noticed them approaching giving them a small smile but was received by a blank look from James and a slight concern look from both Sirius and Peter.
"How you doing Moony?' Sirius greeted with a smile, sitting himself on the end of the bed, 'were you alright last night?"
"Yeah it was alright." He replied rather dully.
Sirius noticed the dullness in Remus' response as he surveyed his bruised friend.
"Hey, don't worry… we'll be joining you soon, just a few more practice and we'll be there by your side through it,' Sirius said trying to lightened up his friends mood with a spark in his eyes, 'even Wormtail can hold his form longer now… isn't that right Peter?"
Peter nodded proudly, standing at the end of the bed… "Yeah, just give me two more practice nights and I'll be right." His face shined so bright with happiness that both Remus and Sirius couldn't resist to laugh.
After finding out of Remus' secret, the three of the Marauders took upon themselves to help out their friend by studying Animagi, in hoping to turn themselves into Animagus. They learned that a werewolf can not hurt any animals in its presence by over hearing some third years talking about it in their common room.
From the moment they had found out that piece of information, the Marauders set to work and finding as mush information they can on werewolves and what kind of creatures are not threats to werewolves.
At first they thought that they could find these animals and perhaps put them in the Shrieking Shack with Remus on the full moon to keep him company, while that was a good idea at first, they soon found a better idea as James stumbled on a book about Animagi, to transform a human body into the inner animal of themselves inside.
At first it sounded like a bizarre idea, but with the persistent of Sirius, the four Marauders set to work on how to form into Animagus. Three years they have work long and hard in their dormitory to become Animagus' and their long and tedious work was about to pay off, only in a matter of time.
Remus wasn't to keen at the idea, but he had no choice on the matter from the stubbornness from both James and Sirius; Peter was apprehensive all the while but proceeded with the idea, happy that he was involved in it. When all three, James, Sirius and Peter successful transformed into their Animagus form, James into a magnificent white stag given the name Prongs form his antlers, Sirius into a giant black canine dog given the name Padfoot from his paws and Peter into a squirming grey rat given the name Wormtail from his tail; Remus thought it was possible, but the tug of doubt still weight in his stomach.
Last night was the night where they were suppose to practice, but due to a sudden interruption, they didn't had a chance to think about it as they were worried for their friend.
The laughter sobered down as the three boys near the bed all turn to their broken hearted friend who was standing by the window looking out distractedly at the Forbidden Forest.
"How is he?" Remus whispered to the two.
Sirius observed James for a moment before returning his attention back to Remus, shaking his head.
"He hasn't said anything all morning." Peter put in looking concern.
"James…' Remus called out to him, but James didn't revive from his trance, 'James… are you alright?"
James finally revives from his trance and looked at his friends who were eyeing him worriedly.
"Huh… what?" He stuttered.
Remus looked at Peter and Sirius for a moment before returning back to James.
"Are you alright?" he repeated.
James moved away from the window and took a seat next to Remus' bed… "Yeah… fine." He lied, forcing a smile on his face.
"Prongs have I told you that you are such a bad liar?" Sirius said, smirking at his friend.
James didn't respond but just stared at the floor. Remus cast Sirius a glare at his comment, but he knew that Sirius meant well and was trying to make James laugh.
"James we all know your not fine,' Peter said, leaning on the end of the bed, 'you hardly said anything all morning."
"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Remus.
James took his focus away from the floor and looked up at his friends faces.
"No, don't worry about it." He shrugged.
"Prongs you know we're all here for you." Sirius said sincerely.
James looked at his friends again and stood up, pacing around the room. Suddenly his hands flew up into the air in frustration, a groan escaping from him.
"I don't know what's wrong with me,' he exclaimed, 'I don't know why I reacted like that, I mean I know she's not mine and that she has the right to go out with who ever she wants…' James rambled on as he continue to pace, 'but I just couldn't help myself." He ended, heaving a breath and stopping in the middle of the room.
The three boys looked at each other, surprise at their friends out burst but some how knew it was coming.
"Prongs it's alright to feel that way,' Remus reason soothingly, 'I mean we all know how you feel about Lily and it's only natural to react like that."
"Well not totally react like that… smashing the glass, punching the wall…" Sirius commented but was quickly interrupted by Remus throwing his pillow at him, giving Sirius a glare. Sirius smiled sheepishly.
"No seriously mate, Moony's right', said Sirius, 'I would've reacted like that too if I liked a girl like Lily."
James observed Sirius for a minute and looked at Remus.
"So are you going to let her go out with him?" Peter asked.
"I have too… I can't tell her not to, it's not my place to saying anything or anyone's place." James resolved.
Sighing, James made his way to sit down again.
"It's the right thing James." Remus padded him on the back.
"It maybe not your place to say James, but no one said that you can't intervene on the date,' Sirius smirk, an idea plotting in his head as he looked at the three boy before him and then turned his whole attention to James as James held a confused look, 'you know… make sure it runs smoothly." He smirked mischievously.
It took James a moment to register what Sirius was trying to say until he finally got it as his eyes shine brightly, a smile spreading widely across his face.
Remus looked at the two with fear and curiosity, and then turned to Peter who shrugged.
Throughout the whole day, majority of the population of Hogwarts turn their focus to the red head of Gryffindor who was coming out of one of the Herbology greenhouse with the usual crowd of her three best friends.
During breakfast, the Hufflepuff Quidditch captain had approach Lily as she entered the great hall with said best friends, a soft smile plastered on his face as Nicole, Sasha and Rose look in anticipation behind Lily as they saw Tom.
"Umm… hi Lily,' Tom greeted nervously, 'hi girls." He greeted the giggling girls behind Lily.
"Hi Tom…" they all echoed.
"Umm listen Lily, I was wondering if you would like to get together this Sunday since it's hogsmead,' he asked fidgeting with his hands, 'is that ok?"
"Yeah… that's sound great." Lily replied, blushing as people started to stare, including three Marauders.
"Great!" Tom replied, beaming.
"Great…" Lily echoed.
There was a moment silence between the two until Tom nodded his head to her and the girls, making his way back to his tables where his friends were watching.
All day random people had come up to her to strike conversations, asking her how Tom Raggan had asked her out and what she was going to wear for their date.
At first it felt overwhelming for Lily, but by the end of it, she was getting irritated. Nicole had teased Lily all day calling her 'Queen Lily' since the majority of the people treated her like some kind of royalty now knowing that she was dating the handsome Tom Raggan.
"Why can't they mind their own business?" Lily exclaimed later that night in the girls' dormitory as she fell on her bed.
"Lils you're the talk of the school… of course they can't mind their own business." Nicole chuckled as she came out from the bath room.
"Nic's right… I don't think they have anything better to do." Rose added.
"I kind of regret saying yes to him if I knew it was going to be like this." Lily groans into her pillow.
"You don't seriously mean that do you?' Sasha asked, but Lily just groaned again, 'Lils it's going to be fine." Sasha reassured.
"Oh what's the matter your Majesty Queen Lily… shall I fetch the guards and have them chop all the nosey brats heads off?" Nicole joked in her up most posh accent.
Lilly glared at her as Rose and Sasha chuckled at their friend's dramatic display.
"Shut up Nic." Lily scowled, throwing her pillow at her best friend.
The week couldn't have gone quicker for Lily as she anticipated for Sunday to finally arrive, to get this date over and done with. Throughout the week, the majority of the students still took interest on Lily's up coming date.
Sunday finally arrived as Lily descended the girls' stair case. Followed by Nicole Sasha and Rose, making their way to the great hall where Lily was going to meet Tom.
It seems that the three girls were more excited then their friend, but Lily had to admit that she was rather nervous, after all this is her first official date with anyone.
Lily sets off to meet Tom as the three girls joined the crowd where they met the Marauders. James noticed them as they approached, but he also noticed that a familiar redhead wasn't among their midst.
He searched around for her, but couldn't find her insight. He opt to ask the girls where she was and Rose had told him that she had gone to meet a 'friend', choosing her words carefully, not knowing if it was a good idea to mention Tom and Lily in the same sentence.
Searching around once again, James caught sight of Lily and Tom walking further head of everyone else to Hogsmead. He scowled at the picture, but couldn't help having a glint of admiration in his eyes as he watched Lily laugh.
Sirius watched his best friend with amusement.
"Don't worry… Just remember what we have in store for them." He whispered to James.
James smiled as Sirius smirk making Remus to shake his head in amusement while Peter quietly laughed; the girls were oblivious from the boys as they talked among themselves, following the line of students.
The Marauders walked ahead of the crowd as the three girls watched them in curiosity.
"Must be anxious to get to Zonkos." Sasha offered with a shrug.
The Marauders manage to get into eye sight of Lily and Tom and watched them intently. This day will be the day Lily will never forget as not just being her first date, but with many surprising and unanswerable things will happen.
The two couple wandered around the village before they set on going to Honeydukes; as they entered the store, the Marauders weren't too far behind where they waited outside.
"This is getting rather boring… are going to follow them all day?" asked Peter who was getting tired by the walking.
"I agree with you Peter,' Remus sigh, feeling the cold that had started to circulated around the village over night, 'why don't Peter and I just meet you at the Three Broomsticks… ok?"
"Alright fine… we'll meet you there." James said getting irritated by their whining.
Remus and Peter made there way towards the Three Broomsticks, where two hot mugs of hot chocolate await them while James and Sirius stayed out of view; waiting for about ten minutes or so when they decided to walk near the shop and have a look through the window in a casual manner.
Through the window, Sirius and James saw Tom and Lily looking at the new arrivals of sweets in the store. Sirius' eyes lit up when he saw his favorite sweet, double chocolate truffles filled with mouth watering caramel; Sirius' mouth started to water at the thought of it.
James however, was watching Lily as Tom offered to buy her a few of the new sweets, James glared at Tom.
"I can't believe his actually buying them for her." James hissed making Sirius to break his trance at the double chocolate truffles.
"Huh, what…' Sirius asked distractedly, 'well that's what you normally do when your at a candy shop Prongs and I wouldn't mind getting a few myself." He licked his lips, eyeing the truffles.
"Padfoot!" James nudged him on the side making Sirius to rub the pain.
"If he thinks that he can win her by buying things for her… well what would you do about this Mr Cool guy…"
Sirius looked at James in utter bewilderment by his three last words. James took his wand out from the inside of his robes and points it at where a fountain of chocolate was displayed next to Tom. With s swish of his wand and a quite incantation; Tom tripped over his own legs, his arms flinging about to regain his balance but failed as his arm collided with the fountain, knocking it to the floor where the content of the liquidity chocolate to splatter all over the floor.
Sirius looked horrid at the sight of the chocolate on the floor… "What a waste." He mumbled.
But that wasn't all the happened; as the chocolate cascaded to the floor, Tom stumbled backwards and slipped on the substance falling hard on his backside, chocolate covering him from head to foot. Chaos arose inside the store as majority of the people inside were covered in chocolate, Lily included.
Outside, both James and Sirius holler in laughter at the sight, gasping for breath. Lily almost slipped on the substance but quickly took hold of the shelf behind her. Quickly taking her wand out from her robe, she aimed it at the mess before her.
"Deletrius!"
The chocolate substance immediately disappeared. Lily walked over to Tom and lends him a hand to get up. She pointed her wand at him and said… "Scourgify."
Immediately, Tom was all cleaned up as Lily pointed her wand at herself, repeating the same incantation. James watched in shock at Lily, but all the while still amused.
Both Tom and Lily apologized profusely to the owner as they made their way out. James and Sirius quickly hid behind a few rubbish bins as Tom and Lily walked passed them.
"That was priceless." Sirius laughed.
The two boys continued to follow them at a safe distance. After the first incident that had occurred, it certainly wasn't the last. As Tom and Lily continued to wander around the village, on the way to Zonkos Jokes Shop, the incident was not caused by Sirius or James, but rather it happened on their own.
Passing through an ally way, a flock of birds charge for the two couple causing them to be mixed in a whirl wind of wings and feathers; again Lily had to use the 'Scourgify' incantation to get rid off the mess the birds had left on them. It seems as though fate has come to help James in his quest to ruin the date.
Successfully making their way to the joke shop, once again Sirius and James watched the two from the window. Remembering that he was freshly out on dungbombs, Sirius made his way towards the door, but was quickly cut off by James.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Need to get some more dungbombs… I'm out." He replied.
James looked at him dumbfounded… "Now, Sirius we're on a mission here."
"But the store is just here… they wont even notice I'm there." He whined, but James quickly dragged him away from the door, rolling his eyes.
"We can come back later."
For a few moments, James couldn't see either Tom or Lily, so he decided to go into the store, to stop Sirius from his whining.
"Look, there they are and here are the dungbombs." Sirius exclaim, his face beaming as he grabbed a handful of the product.
James watched the two in interest as they were observing a box in a near by table.
"It's a jack in a box', James heard Lily say as Tom took it in his hand, 'I use to love them when I was younger. I loved it how it popped out when you winded it." She said as a smile came across her delicate face.
Hearing this gave James had an idea. Noticing that Tom was winding the toy, he took out his wand and points it at the box. As the box open up, Tom was surprise to find that instead of a small puppet should popped out but smoke, causing the box to explode in front of him, covering his face with black charcoal and coughing from the smokes.
James was surprise to see Lily laugh at the sight. She thought that it had happened on purpose, but she couldn't help to feel sorry for Tom. He had been trying so hard to impress her but it seems that it wasn't possible due to some 'weird' circumstances.
She took out her wand and performed the 'Scourgify' incantation again which clean Tom up right away. Lily couldn't remember ever having to use that incantation so many times in one day.
"Why don't we go to the Three Broom Sticks?" Lily offered, sobering up.
"Yeah… I think that's a good idea." Tom agreed, leading Lily to the door.
James, seeing them leaving quickly turns to where Sirius was standing, but found him gone. Looking around he spotted his best friend at the counter, purchasing his purchase.
James quickly walked over to him and dragged Sirius out of the store, with Sirius protesting.
"We can come back later." James argued, dragging Sirius towards the pub.
The gush was warm air met their chill skins as Tom led Lily to a table at the far back where Tom thought that nothing could possibly go wrong as they were away from others and any potential hazards, that is until James and Sirius entered the pub.
Upon seeing Remus and Peter sitting to the far left of the room, both boys made their way to rejoin their comrades.
The moment James' backside reached the flat surface of the chair, his head automatically started to survey the cozy inn.
"They're at the back to your right." Remus aid James as the constant movement of his head made Remus rather a bit nauseous.
Instantly James' head flung towards their direction. He sought out Lily's face in the dim light that surrounded them… it almost seemed perfect to end a day like this after the many misfortune they had encountered, but no matter how perfect it may seem, the course of perfection never runs smoothly, not if James Potter has anything to do with it.
"So I'm guessing his not done in ruining their date?" Remus asked Sirius.
Sirius merely smirked as the three Marauders turned to the fourth member; they could see that James' mind was working hard in thinking of a way to ruin the little happy moment as the concentration in his eyes almost frightened the other three.
"If he only thinks as hard in his studies as much as he is trying to ruin their date, maybe he wouldn't have so much homework to do." Remus commented as both Sirius and Peter laughed, but James hadn't notice any of this as his whole focus was in working out a scheme.
"I've got it." James suddenly said causing Peter to almost choke his butter beer. Sirius had to thump his back for air to circulate around his lungs again.
"Thanks." He coughs.
Without elaborating his idea or even apologizing to Peter, James quickly grab his wand and directed towards Tom, both Peter and Remus look at each other and turn to Sirius where they found him completely at ease and anticipating the out come of James' idea.
As the waitress placed their order of butter beer on their table, the moment Tom took a sip and had placed his glass down; James' wand was directed to him and as Tom opened his mouth, a rather disturbing sound came out of… 'Burp...' Lily's eyes quickly widened as Tom quickly uttered an apology; again he opened his mouth and yet again the disturbing noise escaped.
"Excuse me." Tom said again, but Lily's eyes remained to be wide and so did Tom's.
The voice that came out of his mouth wasn't his own but a high pitch tone almost resembling a chipmunk; Tom quickly cleared his throat and tried to speak again, but as before, his voice seemed to have gone haywire.
"Tom are you alright?" Lily asked, putting her drink down as she was about to take a sip before she was stunned by the abrupt noise that escaped his mouth and now his voice.
"Yup… I'm fine." He replied, again in the high pitched tone that caused the people near them to stare.
Unknown to them, a couple of tabled in front, four young boys were in hysterics with laughter as tears began to roll down Sirius' face. Lily could hear the laughter and turned to their source where she spotted them. As Lily turned her head, James quickly put his wand back and turned his attention to his friends as though he hadn't seen them and laughed along with his mates as none of them could contain it. They made it looked as though one, presumably James or Sirius had made a joke and were laughing at that.
Feeling her gaze leaving them, James took a quick chance at their direction and found Lily trying to help Tom; his smile spread from ear to ear. The moment James returned his attention back to his hysterics friends, the door drew open and revealing three young girls; the first… her face as white and delicate as the snow, followed by the deep grey eyes that could freeze on first glance and last a face that resembled a playful child. The three Gryffindors stood near the door way with Rose in the lead and standing next to her was Sasha; the two looked around the room for a sign of a free table before Nicole joined them as she stood behind.
Looking around the room, Nicole spotted the Marauders where James smiled at her and them she spotted Lily and Tom; she pointed them out to the other two who smiled at the sight. To them it seems that everything was running smoothly for them as they made to the vacant seats near the bar; but up to her their friend were, tom was taking sip after sip of his butter beer to clear his throat to regain his voice back, but to no avail.
Lily became some what embarrass and helpless and began to look around the room where she finally spotted her friends who smiles at her; she somewhat gave them a timid smile.
"Look…" Lily turns to Tom sympathetically, "how bout we call it a day and you can go back to the school and get some rest until you feel better."
Tom nodded his head in agreement and got up to his feet… "Do you want me to come with you?" Lily offered.
Tom shook his head… "No… no, you stay here." He replied in his high pitched voice which sends another wave of laughter to the Marauders, but silently.
Tom gave Lily a small smile as she returned one to him and made his way out of the bar; the three girls that sat at the front watched Tom leave and saw their friend sitting alone looking somewhat dejected. They quickly made their way to her and sat down. As they passed the Marauders, the four boys began to laugh a little loud with Remus putting his elbows on the table, resting his head in his hands, Peter gasping for air and Sirius banging his hand on the table with his head resting on it.
Lily's three friends sat down around her and asked what had happened; with a little groan, Lily began to deliberate the events of her day. As she told them how it all started up until to the moment where both Lily and Tom were sitting at their very table, the laughter from the Marauders began to increase, but Lily continued on as she was oblivious to them; Lily maybe oblivious to the fact that the four boys were laughing and at her expense, but Rose on the other hand couldn't help but to look at their direction where she saw both Remus and Sirius' all red from laughing… then she caught a quick glimpse of James turning his head to her direction and she instantly knew that what had occurred during Lily's disastrous date… it had James Potter written all over it.
When rose returned her focus back to her friend where Sasha was comforting Lily, Rose met Nicole's eyes who were looking at her with a confused look. Without saying a word, Rose tilted her head towards the four boys, but Nicole remained to look bewildered, again Rose tilted her head only this time her eyes darted towards them too. Nicole finally coming to terms with what Rose was trying to indicate turns her focus at the people her friend was trying to show.
Her eyes instantly fell on Sirius; with the sight of him, a smile broke on Nicole's face, but then she saw James laughing along with the others and saw him slowly turning his head to their direction again. As James took another chance at Lily's direction, but instead of finding Lily's face, he was met with Nicole's penetrating eyes who had her eyebrows raised; upon seeing her, James quickly flashed her a smile but Nicole's expression quickly change as it was replaced with an expression that said… 'I know what you did James Potter!'
James' smile instantly vanished and returned to his surroundings; seeing his hasty move, Nicole couldn't help but to laugh where she quickly chance it to clearing her throat as both Lily and Sasha looked at her, Rose on thee other hand was hiding her own amusement.
"Oh it ok Lily," Sasha soothed, "it was only the first date. I bet you the next one will be better and to plan." She reassured.
"I'd be lucky if there is a next date Sash." Lily said looking miserable.
"Of course there'll be a next date," Rose spoke, placing her hand around Lily's shoulders, "he'd be crazy not to." Still seeing the down cast look on her face, Rose chance for a joke in hoping to make her laugh… "It's not over until the fat lady sings." She quoted.
"Or Tom saying it is in his high pitched voice." Commented Nicole who receives laughter from Sasha and Rose, but a death glare from Lily… "Ok, ok… I'm sorry," she puts her hands up in surrender, "but seriously, they are right; this is the first of many more dates to come and the first always have some mishaps." Nicole said reasonably.
"Spoken like a true guru there Nic." Sasha said.
"Or from watching way too many romance movies." Rose laughed.
Nicole blushed, but it seems at her own expense it made Lily finally laugh.
That night as both Rose and Nicole were making their way back to their common room after visiting the library, they had run into James, literally as James were making his own way back after Quidditch practice; Sirius was with him moments before but had left James to go back on his own as he made a stop to the kitchens.
All three fell back and landing in a heap on the floor; James slowly stood up and lends both his hands to pull the girls up with Rose rubbing her elbow and Nicole rubbing her back side with a pain expression.
"Are you girls alright?" James asked as he picked up his broom stick.
"Yeah… we're fine." Rose replied with Nicole nodding her head.
"You?" Rose asked.
"I'll live…" laughs James.
As silence fell between the three, James couldn't help but to look at Nicole with his forehead creased as she was looking at him intently. Under her scrutinizing eyes, James became nervous.
"What?" James asked somewhat curious and fearfully.
Nicole's eyes began to grow wider as she replies… "Nothing", she simply said as a smile that gradually turned into a smirk appeared on her tanned complexion… "I was just wondering if there was anything that you'd like to tell us?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips.
James remains to look confused and so did Rose until Nicole darted her eyes from Rose to James, then a smile spread across her face which made James even more nervous.
"I don't know what your talking about Nic." He said slowly. "Should there be something that I need to tell you both?" he asked.
"We don't know, that's why we're asking you," Rose replied… "We were just wondering if you know anything about what happened today with Lily and Tom."
At the mention of their names, James' eyes slightly grew but it quickly returned to normal hoping that the girls hadn't seen it; afraid that he was about to be caught out with his activities earlier with the help of Sirius; he resume his casual and coy attitude he was so well known for.
"Lily and Tom?" he asked surprised, "why, what happened?"
Nicole couldn't help but to slightly smile with amusement… "We were hoping you could tell us." Nicole asked; "You wouldn't had anything to do with the little mishaps between them today did you?" Nicole eyed him as Rose tried not to laugh as she saw James' eyes became alert.
Nicole looked at Rose from the corner of her eyes as she too tried to suppress her own laughter.
"Nicole Jones… are you accusing me of having something to do with what happened?" James asked mockingly, looking slightly hurt.
"Oh please… we all know that you and I have no doubt that Sirius had some part in it." Nicole laughs.
"It was kind off a give away when I saw you staring at her and Sirius laughing his head off as Lily was telling us what had happened." Commented Rose.
James grew silent as the girls looked at him with matching smiles on their faces as a smirk appeared on his faces as he simply replied… "Innocent until proven guilty." and began to walk away from them with the girls laughing behind him.
As the girls hollered with laughter Sirius came behind them looking amused as he saw James walking away.
"What's so funny?" he asked; the girls screamed at his suddenly appearance which cause James to stop and turned around.
"Don't do that!" Nicole exclaims, holding her chest.
"Sorry…" Sirius apologizes with his soft smiles that made Nicole's knees weak; Rose could see her expression and thought best to quickly answer him before her best friend made a fool of herself and she knew that Nicole would never forgive her for not stopping her.
"We were just asking James," looked up to him and back at Sirius, "if he had any involvement in the mishaps with Lily and Tom's date today."
James' ears perked up at the mention of date and Lily and Tom in the same sentence, but there was also another reason as to why his ears had perked and his eyes focused on Sirius as he heard his best friend deliberate to the girls at how funny it was to see Tom falling flat on his backside covered in chocolates and his voice in a high pitch volume. Both Rose and Nicole's heads turns to James who seems to be shifting his feet on his spot and his head jerked up as he heard Sirius say… "He thought all of it up." Laughing.
"Padfoot!" James exclaims looking angry but amused at the same time a he watched the three before him holler with laughter.
"Proven until guilty huh?" Nicole shouted up to James as James resume with his walking.
"I think we just got our evidence Nic." Rose gasped and clutching her sides.
"Yeah… thanks Sirius." Nicole smiles.
"Any time girls." Sirius replied.
James continued with his walk, all the while sarcastically thinking of what a good best friend he has there and if both Rose and Nicole were going to tell Lily of what he did; he prayed silently that they wouldn't, but apart of him knew that they wouldn't.
