So… this chapter is from James' POV. It wouldn't work from anyone elses, though I don't think that he seems that insane in this chapter… BUT I do think that he is rather in character….. XD

I've always been a lonely sort of guy. I've always had friends, but no REAL friends. I mean, I used to have friends I hung out with at school, but I could never really TRUST anyone. Not even my super busy parents. They never had much time for me so I mostly just hung out with a couple of the outcasts and tried to stay out of trouble.

So far I have failed miserably. I just can't seem to behave. I TRY to be good! I really DO! My heart is as pure as driven snow! It's just that events well beyond my control conspire against me. I'm usually just an innocent bystander, you know, caught at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'm really a good kid! A good kid with a good heart and a quick temper. I'm good, good, good, from the moment I wake up until the moment a thought enters my head! Not the best example, but I really AM a good person.

Well, it's really the whole question of good. I mean, how good do you have to be to qualify as good? I haven't killed anybody (yet). That's good right? I haven't committed any felonies. I didn't start any wars. I don't practice cannibalism. I don't steal. Wouldn't you say that's pretty good?

Moony would say, 'Good is more then just the absence of bad.' and that bothers me, because evidently all of the authority figures in my life agree with Moony. They want me to be good, good. Like, more then just the absence of bad good.

Ironically a chance to be good as in not the absence of bad good, but good good is lying in a suspiciously smoking heap in front of me. I pointed my handy dandy flashlight into the window of the upturned car.

"Hello? Is anyone in there?" I called, walking towards the car.

"Baby, there's no one." I turned to look at my girl friend Lily Evans. She was scowling. "Lets leave."

"No, I heard voices." My best friend, Severus Snape, said. "Someone's in there."

"Well, then you should get your head checked." Lily snapped.

"Your mother already did that, but thanks for the offer."

"You asshole."

"Whore."

"Creep."

"Ginger."

"Willyoujustshutthehellupandlet usoutofthisfuckingcar?!"

Severus smirked and turned to Lily. "See? I told you that there was someone in there."
