Ten Things I hate about James Harold Potter

I hate the way you make fun of me.

I hate that you don't have to worry about being alone

I hate when you have someone and I don't

I hate when I tease you, it does nothing.

I hate the way you only you can make me want to die and live

I hate the way you can lose someone, and find someone to replace them in one day.

I hate that you know how to make everything just right.

I hate that you can piss me off and still kiss me at the end of the day.

17 year old James Potter was lying on his dorm room bed, while supposed to be a breakfast, thinking about what else?

The Dance.

"What will my friends think? All those girls, or mom… Oh no…Dad.

James shut his eyes and tried to imagine what his dad would say if he found out that he was going to take Sirius.

"Bad is what it would be." James mumbled to himself and turned to watch Sirius walk in the dorm room.

"Hey, can I borrow a shirt? One of the owls spilled juice on mine." Sirius asked stripping off his shirt to show that his undershirt had also been stained.

James got up and threw a school shirt and an undershirt at Sirius, who caught it.

"Don't get those dirty." James said while putting on his shoes.

"Ha-Ha. So, I know it is a touchy subject, but what about the dance?" Sirius said slipping his undershirt on.

"It is stupid, we shouldn't go." James said.

"James, stop, I know you want to go, just tell me what color you are wearing."

"No, Sirius. I don't have a color, because I am not going." James said getting louder.

"James, I saw you announce the dance, you were so excited. You want to go, I know you do."

"You just don't understand. Do you know how hard it will be? 'Most wanted by the girl, is now most wanted by the guys' because hey, his GAY!" James said ripping a tie off of his desk.

"You ashamed of me. I get it." Sirius said walking towards the door.

"No!" James said moving in front of the door making Sirius step back into the middle of the room. "I'm not ashamed of you. Don't be stupid."

"Then what James, WHAT?!" Sirius said yelling at him.

"Nothing okay, just leave it, we can go to Hogsmede or something instead." James said yelling back at him.

"You know what? Just take some bird." Sirius said standing.

James, not realizing what he was saying, said "I don't want to take some bird, I want to take yo…" James looked up at him.

"Me. You want to take me, I knew you wanted to go."

"No, I don't want to go, lets just stay here or something."

"James…you know I would go anywhere with you, but you want to go."

James and Sirius looked up to see Remus walk in.

"Uh, James, Lily is really excited about something and she wants you to come down." Remus said grabbing a tie.

Sirius looked at Remus, "You guys not are fighting anymore?"

"Nah," He said tying his tie, "I was stupid, I asked her to go with me and she got all giggly and said yes… Its pretty cool." Remus smiled.

"Wait, what did Lily want?" James asked.

"Something about important people coming to the dance, candidates? She needs you is all I know." He shrugged.

Oh, Minster of Magic candidates…Orion Black vs. Harold Potter. Not good. That means…

"My dad." James and Sirius said at the same time.

"Huh?" Remus asked.

"Nothing, come on Sirius." James said running down the stairs.

::COMMON ROOM::

"Oh, thank Merlin you're here, oh good- you too Sirius. Guess which candidates are able to make it out of the four?"

"Come on Lily, just tell us." Sirius said.

"Fine, fine. Orion and Walburga Black and also Harold and Sarah Potter! Arent you guys excited, you get to see your parents."

"Why would I be thrilled that my mother is going to come and complain about how good I could have been if I was in another house?" Sirius asked negatively.

"Oh never mind you. What about you James, you have a great relationship with your parents, especially with your dad."

"That's before, well before, you know." James said looking over at Sirius.

"Wait, this is why you don't want to go?! You afraid of what your dad will think? James, look at me, it doesn't matter what he thinks, only what you think."

"Oh yeah Sirius, I can see it now on the front page. 'Minister of Magic's, Potter Heir, is in fact a fairy with, yes people you guessed it, Orion Black, Head of Dark Magic's son, Sirius Black."

"Uh, I think I will head out…" Lily said jogging out.

"Come on, let's take this upstairs."

:: BACK IN DORM ROOM::

"Okay, so not the best time to be coming out, but we don't have a choice; we have to go both our parents will be there."

"You know I don't want to go with anyone else." James said smiling.

"We could go stag and just hang out all night with each other."

"A Black and a Potter suddenly hang out, no one would buy it, least of all our parents."

"I won't go." Sirius said.

"What?! You have to go, your dad and mom."

"It will either piss them off or make them happy that they don't have to tell anyone that I'm not in Slythrin and what a disappointment I am. Okay, I'll go stag."

"What about me? I cant go alone, I told my parents I still have someone."

"Take Gabriella, she'd love it and her boyfriend, Jeff, is in Scotland studying, so no angry guy to ruin your cover." Sirius filled in.

"Does she even like me?" James asked.

"Well, she loves me, brotherly, so she'll love you. You should start now though, if you want to pull it off, get people believing that you too are an item. You can do that in 2 weeks right?"

"Yeah, but you promise you don't care?"

"James, I trust you and her. It doesn't bother me if you guys kiss either." Sirius smiled.

"It doesn't?"

"No." Sirius laughed.

"Why not? Does it turn you on or something?" James asked rising his eyebrows.

"Well, kind of. But because I can kiss you when ever I want, she only gets you for only one night." He said grabbing James' tie.

"Whenever eh?" James said smiling while looking at Sirius' lips.

"Yeah," He whispered into James' lips, "Like now." He said finishing by pulling James' tie more and making there lips touch.

"Mmhmm…" James mumbled as he and Sirius pulled away.

"Or now again." Sirius said letting go of the tie, and leaned in again.

James leaned in but pulled away at the last second, "If you can catch me, if not you will have to wait till before Potions, which is what? 5 hour?" James said cocking his head to the side and running out.

"5TH HOUR?!?" Sirius called, racing after him and knowing he had another thing to put on his list.
