As he walked into the Great Hall he sat down by Sirius and Remus, he saw Lily two seats down, talking to Alice about the dance.
"Have you asked her, yet?" Sirius asked James
"No" James said reflexively.
"Why not?"
"Because," James really had no reason for denying the fact that he had successfully asked out Lily Evans for the first time in seven years. He bit his lip, searching for the proper words.
"Because, you're weak" Sirius said. Sirius knew him like a brother, and right now he knew James was in love, in love with Lily. Sirius looked at James, he was staring at Lily. He concetrated harder than Sirius had ever seen him do. James looked back at Sirius. "It's okay" he assured his best mate.
James only nodded. He stood up and looked at Sirius. The look in his eyes said he needed to be alone. James walked out of the Great Hall, as fast as he could without it looking as though he were running. "What's wrong with James?" Remus asked Sirius.
"He's in love" Sirius said plainly.
******
James walked out the Great Hall and down the corridors. He had memorized each turn, each passageway, each corridor, since his third year. He made a right turn and stopped at a blank wall. He pulled out his wand and tapped the wall three times with it. The wall transformed into a door before James's very eyes.
He walked through the now formed door, and as he stepped through the door melted back into a wall. James sighed sadly. How could he not tell his best mate that Lily had said yes? No, instead he had to tell some teacher he just met first. He felt mutinous and hated himself.
Once James got to the last step he saw a door that read: HARRY J POTTER DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARKS ARTS PROFESSOR. The door was wooden and creaked slightly when you opened it. It was like a portal from the dark, cold hallway into a warm, sunny room with a happy feel to it. Harry's study was like something you couldn't explain. It's like someone bottled up happiness, then let it explode in there.
James felt himself warm up, just from the anticipation of touching the doorknob, until he heard those voices. He froze in his place, putting his ear against the door. "Professor, what are you saying?" he heard harry ask.
"Harry, I found a way for you to get back" he heard the soft and gentle voice of Albus Dumbledore say.
"But how?' Harry asked, obviously getting irritated. Dumbledore didn't reply, instead he stood there, pondering about something.
"I believe, Harry, that we are being listened to" Dumbledore decided. James panicked, he pulled out his Invisibility Cloak and pulled it over himself. He watched as the doorknob turned and the door pushed open. James stepped back a bit as he came face to face with Harry.
"There's no one here, Professor" Harry said
"Just because you can't see something, doesn't mean it's not there, Harry" Dumbledore said cryptically. James's breathing became heavier, Dumbledore looked directly at James, and winked. He took a step back and with the heel of his foot he felt the edge of a step. He turned around and began walking down the stairs.
He heard the door shut close and turned around to see Harry and Dumbledore going back into his study. For fear of being caught, James kept his Cloak on all the way down the staircase, and while he walked down the halls, and as he entered the Great Hall and when he sta down next to Sirius. "Bloody hell, James!" He shouted when he reached over for the butter and knocked into James's shoulder.
James pulled the Cloak off and smiled at his best mate. "Don't wet your self, Padfoot" he chuckled. He decided that maybe he should just shrug off what he had heard, remove it from his memory, I suppose you could say.
"Where were you mate?" Sirius asked him. James began to feel bad for leaving all of the sudden, with no explanation. After all, Sirius told him everything so why couldn't James tell him? He took a deep breath and began to speak to his bets friend.
"I lied. I did ask her out. This morning, actually, and she said yes. I dunno why I didn't tell you. I'm sorry" James said bluntly. He looked at his best friend, who meerly shrugged.
"Finally. It only took you seven years" Sirius chuckled, and James couldn't help but laugh along with him. "Where'd you leave off to anyway?" Sirius asked him.
"Washroom" he said. Sirius just went back to his breakfast.
******
"Just because you can't see something, doesn't mean its not there, Harry" Dumbledore said cryptically before winking once. Harry follwed the old man back into his study before shutting the door. "Now, as I was saying. I have discovered a way for you to get back" Dumbledore continued. "You are familiar with the Muggle time capsule, correct?" he asked. Harry nodded. "I am sure your Muggle-born friend is too."
"Where are you getting at?" Harry asked. He leaned against his desk, crossing his arms and tapping his foot impatiently. It wasn't until he relized he was doing a very Mrs. Weasley-ish thing that he stopped and took his original stance.
"Harry, I am suggesting that we put a letter in a time-capsule for your friends to read in the future, explaining what has happened, and they should be able to find it and come back for you" Dumbledore said.
"But what if they don't find it? What if I am stuck here forever?" Harry asked. He was becoming panicky, and thinking that Dumbledore obviosuly had no idea what he was doing.
"Harry, I have placed this letter in a certain place that I am sure they will find" he said. Harry's mind was spinning. "What place have you put it in?" he asked his Professor.
"That, I can not say. But perhaps Ron will tell you" he said before leaving.
"The cookie jar?" Harry guessed. Dumebledore chuckled and shook his head slightly, indicating a no before leaving a very befumbled Harry.
******
Oooh, dramatic-ie. I just wanted to try something new, something odd, I s'pose. Double oooh, Dumbley found a way for Harry to get back! Triple oooh, Ron enjoys cookies. LOL, thnx for reading and pleeze review, or else I'll just sit here, staring eagerly at my empty inbox. *tear*.
Okay, I just thought of something. Are there any guys reading this? LOL, most of the people I've talked to are either girls, or they seem like girls, or their names make it hard to decipher. Sorry, if I assumed you were a girl, I didn't mean to! Okay, now click that pretty lil' button down there and review!
-Chapter Eleven-
Now, whose next?" Harry asked. No one raised their hand. "Remus, so nice of you to volunteer" Harry said, a sly smile playing at his lips
"But I didn't..." Remus said
"Well, I am volunteering you" Harry said, beckoning him to come over. Remus went to the front of the classroom and took a deep breath. Why is everyone so afraid?, James thought. Remus stepped up, just like everyone else, and Harry stared Remus down and began to pace around him. "Now, Remus" he began, "Tell me, what makes you happy?" Harry asked.
