AN: Hey guys! Sorry for the late update but I've been really busy with school work and even now I'm typing this with a terrible cold and sore throat. The only good that has come of it is that i didn't have to attend school today! Anyway thanks for reading and please review!

James saw Lily speaking to Johnathan Abbot, the Hufflepuff boy in their year. James had never paid much attention to him but he had only heard good things about Johnathan. He watched her smile at the other boy and he could've sworn that she looked at him just for a split second before, to James' absolute horror, standing up and kissing the bloody idiot on the cheek.

James felt himself go red in the face and could actually feel the anger coursing through his veins. Immediately he developed a strong hatred towards the innocent Hufflepuff who had meant absolutely nothing to him only moments earlier. James found it very hard to stop himself from attacking the blue eyed boy but he knew he had to restrain himself otherwise he would be facing a month's worth detention for assaulting a student. Being in detention would also cause him to lose precious time. Precious time which could be spent causing Johnathan more harm than a few bruises could.

On the day of the Hogsmeade trip James along with Sirius (Remus had chosen to stay back and help Peter with his homework) stalked Lily and Johnathan from under James' invisibility cloak. They had to struggle a great deal to stop themselves from being exposed or else from tripping and falling down. They weren't as small as they once used to be.

They followed the couple into Honeydukes where Johnathan bought Lily a large bag of sweets after which they went to The Three Broomsticks for some Butterbeer. Lily was laughing most of the time and she seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself. James grudgingly admitted that Johnathan was very efficient and was making their date run smoothly when he had an idea. With a flick of his wand, he made Johnathan's bottle pour all the Butterbeer on himself, making him jump up and start wiping his shirt with a napkin.

Lily looked around to find the source of the magic and her eyes lingered where James and Sirius sat invisible, but not being able to see the guilty she returned her attention to the blond boy before her. James sighed with relief, thanking his stars that he had carried his cloak.

"Are you okay?" he heard Lily ask.

"I'm fine," replied the boy, now sitting back down.

"Do you want to go back to the castle?"

"Alright," he heard Johnathan agree. The two went over to the counter and just as Johnathan was about to pay James flicked his wand for the second time, causing Johnathan to slip and fall on his bottom. James grinned and he could feel Sirius shaking with silent laughter next to him. Lily tried to help her date up but he just flopped to the ground again where he sat like an overgrown baby.

The two Marauder's were now shaking with silent fits of laughter and had to run to the door and onto the street to stop their cover from being blown Once in the street the howled with laughter to their hearts content and slowly began making their way up to the castle, letting Lily and Johnathan over take them before taking off the cloak.

"Did you see his face?" asked Sirius still grinning. He winked at a group of gigglng fifth years passing the boys who were eyeing him hungrily making them shriek with laughter.

"He didn't know what hit him!" James laughed. As they turned the corner to the Gryffindor common room, James saw a sight that made him want to kill somebody. Johnathan had his hands on Lily's hips and was leaning in to kiss her. James froze. He felt his insides go hollow and for a second he wished he was dead. When they drew apart Lily turned around and entered the common room and Johnathan walked away from there with a spring in his step. All traces of mirth had left James. This only meant one thing... War.

AN: At first I wasn't going to let James perform magic in Hogsmeade because they aren't allowed t use magic outside Hogwarts under the age of seventeen but then I remembered that Harry had also cast a spell against Snape in Prisoner of Azkaban while they were in the Shrieking Shack so I went ahead with the idea. Please tell me if you have any suggestions or questions, you can leave a review or you can send me a PM and lastly, please review!
