The Unknown
The second floor. The one I go the less. In this floor there are a lot of empty guestrooms, my parents' bedroom… and that. This… Thing' s door looks like a wooden gateway, just waiting for the unaware to come and open it, ending up buried by all the stuff that's in there.
Sirius and I, brave adventures, stood up in front of the gateway…Erm, door. We were waiting for anything: crocodiles, mutant cockroaches, underwear. He got the courage and opened the door.
TCHAAAARAAAM! The second floor's closet.
Five. Five. Five. Shelves. Filled with stuff.
"Well, at least it's separated by category." Sirius shrugged his shoulders, looking at that trash.
"Now I'm feeling better, thank you." I answered sarcastically.

Hello! I know you missed James' thoughts! Now, we'll see the first thing that crossed his mind now: What the hell is inside this closet?
First Shelf: The highest, we'll need a chair. OR I can jump on Sirius' back, and break my neck. Well, at least I won't need to clean this if I'm all broken up. It's full of… books?
Second Shelf: We'll still need the chair. Sirius's looking scared at me; he thinks I'm talking alone. It's full of… OH! My Uncle Hugo's inventions! This is gonna be fun…
Third Shelf: Note about the second shelf: this isn't gonna be fun, because I'm not having fun at all. The chair isn't need anymore. But Sirius will have to help, because he's taller than me (YET). It's full of old newspapers. Some of them are muggles. WHAT?
Fourth Shelf: Sirius is still looking at me because I'm muttering to myself. It's with a lot of files inside.
Fifth Shelf: The biggest. A great dark hole. I'm afraid to put my hand inside.

"Hun… James?"
"What, Padfoot?"
"Are you ok?"
"Yes, why wouldn't I be?"
He stared at me like I had just been out of a pool with green goo. No one understands me...
"Let's start?"
"Yeah, get a chair."
Sirius continued to look at me as if I had serious problems.
"Don't you wanna get on my back? I'm not that excited to go and get a chair…"
"I can break my neck!"
He rolled his eyes. Great, if you don't care to your neck then get on my back, moron.
Moron… Well, I couldn't get along with my line of thought. Come on, chair.
"Your mum asked if we had already started…"
"And what did you answer?"
"That I was getting the chair so we could start."
"Was she upset?"
"Hun… No, I guess."
"Well, she should! This. Is. Slavery. And Heavy. CAN YOU HELP ME?"
Result: he had to get another chair.
When all the ninety seven books (I counted!) were on the floor, we started to read the titles.
"Maybe these are advanced dark arts books!" Sirius grinned in an evil way.
"I guess 'How to bewitch good witches' won't carry any dark magic. At most, vomit." I threw the book at Sirius, who opened.
"Technique number one: compliments. Women love compliments. The more you say, the better." He turned some pages. "Number fifty seven: if she rejects you, keep trying. They love insistence."
I laughed, picking up another book. It was thick, entitled 'The Adventures of Bobby Lobby'"
"Hey, what's that?"
I was trying to remember from where I knew Bobby Lobby, when he started laughing at me.
"What happened?" I asked naively.
"Jimmy's book, do not touch Bobby Lobby. Did this tell you something, mate?"
DAMN. Just remembered from where I know Bobby Lobby.
"Gimme back, Sirius."
"Once upon a time there was a boy with glasses, his name was Bobby and the last name that my mommy says everybody has was Lobby he liked chocolate cakes like me I love chocolate cake and strawberries, my mother makes for me it's really good I love to put my finger in it but later I wash them." He read, almost laughing. "What the hell is that?"
Felt myself blushing, and wanted to get away from there that exact moment.
"Gimme. Back."
"How old were you? One?"
"I… Six. Now gimme back!"
"I'm showing Moony this."
"NO!" I jumped over him. This can sound a little devilish, but I could hear Sirius' laughter as I hit his chest to release the book, and only got out of there having it in my arms.
"Let's get to the next." I gasp as he laughed stupidly.
"The Dementors' Physics." Sirius showed me a big book.
Oh, boy. This is gonna last forever.
