(A/N): Hey Guys! Look, it's James's PoV! So, I uploaded the first ten chapters of this story to . I laugh at this story way too much for my own good. Seriously, I'd start to question whether I was high, but I don't do drugs. Guys, I can't help it. I laugh at my own jokes, I'm a horrible person for doing so. I love the first line too much for my own good. I actually really like writing from James's PoV. I wrote this chapter, and the last one, and part of the next one during the time my internet wasn't working, so...under an hour?

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Leo, Elaine, Shari and Nicholai!

James

Leo, Remus and Elaine were missing again, presumed researching.

I called Lily, to a meeting with the remaining boys in my dorm, Sirius and Peter, to discuss their motives.

"Why did you call me up here? Not to be rude, but it's smells like a locker room." Lily asked loudly, and Sirius flicked one of his dirty socks at her, which she dodged with a glare.

"How would I know? Ask James Almighty over there." Sirius replied, and they turned their eyes to me. I cleared my throat quietly before talking.

"Well, as you've probably all noticed, Remus, Leo and Elaine are all missing." I gestured to Remus and Leo's empty beds before nodding to Lily.

"Actually, we hadn't, because we're all blind as my aunt Martha." Peter retorted, and I rolled my eyes at him.

"We had, go on James-y." Sirius said, and I nodded, ignoring the nickname he had giving me.

"Well, as we all know, they're researching animagi, right?" They all nodded, and Evans raised an eyebrow.

"Right, but what does this have to do with us?" I grinned at her, feeling a joke coming on.

"Why, Lily my dear, everything is to do with us!" She sighed, rolled her eyes and stood up, starting to move towards the door before I grabbed her hand. Pulling her back onto Leo's bed, knowing that's where she'd feel most comfortable in a room full of boys.

"Sorry." I told her apologetically, and she seemed a little surprised. "Couldn't help myself." I added, before folding my arms over my chest and returning to the issue at hand, trying to be the responsible one now that Moony wasn't here.

"Well, why?" They stared at me, confused. "Why are they researching animagi?" I explained with a sigh, and they all made noises to show they understood.

"Well, we've never really discussed it." Peter chimed in, and I nodded, pointing to him.

"Exactly! And maybe it's time we did." I sat down on my bed, which was across from Sirius's, glancing around at the others, who nodded slowly.

"Well, maybe it's really because of OWL's, like they said." Peter suggested hopefully, but even he knew it wasn't true.

"Ah, poor, naive Peter." Sirius said with a shake of the head.

"Well what do you think it is Black?" Lily asked, standing up for Peter, who smiled at her somewhat weakly. Pete never had been big on smiling.

"I don't know, but it's probably got something to do with the fact that Remus is a werewolf." We stared at him, silently cursing at our own stupidity. At least, I know I was.

"Oh. Right." Lily said quietly, staring down at her lap, and I watched her concernedly.

"Maybe it's to distract him from attacking people." Peter suggested carefully, glancing at Lily, who shuddered lightly at the thought.

"I hope not. When we were in the Hospital Wing...did anyone else notice the amount of bandages Leo had on him?" We glanced at each other before shaking our heads, curious now.

"From what I could see, he had one on his shoulder, a few on the rest of his arms, some on his legs, and I'd bet there were a few on his torso just from the way he was sitting. He looked in pain." She whispered the last bit, glancing up from her lap to make eye contact with us.

"Reckless, but brave." Peter said, and Sirius nodded.

"That's definitely one way to describe him." I continued to stare at lily, wanting to ask her if she was okay, but not wanting to draw attention to her distress. Eventually, I decided. I picked up one of the extra pillows we had heaped in a pile in the middle of the room, before chucking it at her gently. It smacked her in the shoulder lightly.

"Oi." She said quietly, staring at me, her eyes glinting slightly with anger and confusion. I chucked another pillow at her, just as lightly, and she snatched it out of the air before throwing it back at me, hard. The impact made me fall backwards onto my bed, and she looked somewhat worried before I laughed loudly.

"Pillow fight!" I yelled, and Sirius and Peter both picked up some of the spare pillows, hitting each other with them. I took the advantage to make my way to Lily's side.

"Are you okay?" I asked her quietly, and she looked slightly shocked before nodding. "Good." I said firmly, before grabbing one of the fallen pillows and rushing into the fray, her following after me a minute or two later.

(A/N): My view on this is that while James is a twat around Lily most of the time, there are times. like this one, that make her question whether he's all bad. She mostly thinks he is, up until sixth or seventh year, where he becomes more responsible, and that's when she falls in love with him.

You'll probably notice that there is a lot of Peter in this chapter, and he seems to have mysteriously grown some balls. Well, I figure, Peter couldn't have been as whiny and pathetic as people describe him, otherwise he wouldn't have been put in Gryffindor, or someone would have known not to trust him. Or the other Marauders would have thought him a loser.
