James, seething whilst muttering words a child would not like to hear, burst into the boys' dormitories.
"SIRIUS!"
He scanned the room for any sign of his so-called bestfriend.
"Prongs, would you like to tell us why you find it very much difficult to enter the room without making any noise? I'm trying to concentrate here." A very annoyed-looking boy grumbled.
"Sorry." James was about to leave when, "Oh, Prongs."
"Yeah?"
With one hand on the doorknob, he turned to look at his bookworm of a friend whose eyes were already glued to his book and waited quite impatiently.
"If you're looking for Sirius, I guess you should try the grounds. 'Cos he rushed in here not 5 minutes ago, looking harassed, if I might add and uttered something about 'rescuing her emerald-eyed damsel-in-distress'", Remus answered, biting his lower lip — he had to keep himself from laughing at his two friends' predicament.
But when he looked up to throw a grin at the bespectacled boy, he realized his friend had already left.
JAMES' POV
He is so dead.
James kept repeating the same sentence over and over in his head like a mantra – he was so close to kissing the object of his desires, he could almost taste it! But then, Sirius, like the bloody idiot that he is, just had to ruin everything. Does he have a death wish or something?
I'm gonna kill him.
Just then, James caught sight of something that made him stop and stare– Lily was sitting by the Lake, with her head leaned back towards the clouds, the setting sun casting rays that made her angelic face shine even brighter. James sighed wistfully. I am truly hopeless.
But seeing another sight took him out of his reverie.
Only a few feet away was Sirius Black, heading for Lily, with a bouquet of yellow roses in his right hand… and a determined look on his handsome face.
