James

" I bet she's lying " said James to Lupin.

" Who?"

" Lily " said James. " I bet she doesn't really have a partner and she's just trying to make me jealous."

Lupin shook his head. " She does James. I heard Lucius Malfoy saying that some guy had asked Lily to go and that she had accepted."

" Please tell me the guy isn't a Slytherin."

" Nah... I doubt it " said Sirius. " I would have heard Regulas saying it then... he's a right old gossip. Idiot."

James sighed and turned towards him.

" You really should make amends with your brother Sirius."

" Have you lost it Prongs. He's a dark wizard and in Slytherin. He's..."

" Still your brother."

" James for too long I have tried to escape the dark family I was rared by. I dont want to be like them."

" Regulas will come around " said Lupin. " If someone helps him."

" Nah... he's too stupid Moony. He thinks the whole pure blood wizard thing is cool."

James shuddered. " Gives me the creeps."

" What about Snape?" said Sirius coldly. " You Prongs should make amends with him."

" No " said James curtly. " He doesn't deserve it."

" Either does Regulas."

Lupin raised his head. " The difference is James... Regulas has chosen a dark life... Severus is a tragic figure... a boy who I believe is treated cruely at home and shunned by his own classmates."

" How can you defend the creep " cried James.

" I'm not " said Lupin. " Severus is indeed dark at times... but he has not an easy life James. This I do know."

" How?" spat Sirius who looked livid as Snapes name was mentioned.

" My Parents know his Mother and she's a good woman " said Lupin. " His dads a violent man."

James muttered and turned away.

Sirius turned to James and Lupin.

" I cant accept Snivellus. He's bad James."

James turned his face away.

" We nearly killed him that day remember."

" He insulted Lily remember."

" We set a werewolf on him."

" He hates you James. He's so jealous."

" We tricked him and he nearly died."

James sighed. " I despise him... but lads we've done some wrong things and I think we know it."
