Chapter 4 Sneaking Out
James was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. He glanced over at a piece of paper on the desk and then turned to the door as it opened.
"Where have you been," he asked as Sirius walked in.
James could tell Sirius wasn't in the best mood.
"I told you in the note I was with my parents spying on Snape," Sirius said.
That had indeed what had been on the note that now was on the desk. It just didn't make one sense to James.
"But…" James began.
Sirius gave a frustrated sigh.
"I told you, I'm playing along until I'm sixteen," he said.
James looked down and smiled, remembering that conversation.
"After that, I'm out of here," Sirius said.
After a pause, James took a deep breath.
"What was Snape doing," James asked.
Sirius shrugged as he sat down.
"Nothing really. What did you do today," he asked.
"I just walked around Diagon Alley," James said.
That reminded Sirius of something.
"We should be getting our new list soon," Sirius said.
"Do you have to go with them tomorrow," James asked.
Sirius looked down, thinking.
"No," he said, looking back up.
James sat back up and leaned forward.
"So, what do you want to do," he asked.
Sirius laughed for the first time since he had gotten back.
"We can go to the park. I know you're itching to see Lily again," he said.
James too laughed, because it was true. He really did want to see Lily again.
"Well, if you don't want to…" James began.
"James, I don't care," Sirius laughed.
James yawned and got into bed.
"If you're sure…" he began.
Sirius, who was all ready in bed, sat up.
"I said we'll go," he said.
Sirius yawned and let his head hit the pillow.
"All right, thanks. Good night, Sirius," James said.
Sirius gave a little groan.
"Good night, James," he managed to say before falling sound asleep.
James woke up several hours later. He snuck out the window, not really knowing where he was going. James ended up in front of Lily's house. Somehow, he knew where her room was, and he began to make his way up. The window wasn't locked, so James carefully made his way into the room. She looked so peaceful sleeping. What was it about this girl that drew him to her? He spent the next hour staring at her, thinking how creepy this must look. James returned back to Sirius's room and fell back asleep, hoping to dream about the sleeping girl next store.
AN:
Wow, does James remind you of someone. LOL. Oh, God, I'm so bad.
