Chapter 9
The first two months of school went by quickly. And the time hadn't been too bad for James. He had yet to get detention, he had high marks in all of his classes so far, and his professors were impressed with his change in attitude. His sister and cousin were placed in Gryffindor, so he'd been doing a pretty decent job looking out for them. He even gave Lily directions to the library during his first week of school, without throwing in any random detours to make her trip take longer. This even impressed Albus.
He wrote home to his mother to tell her the good news; he received a box of chocolate frogs a few days ago (his favorite) along with a ecstatic note from his mother telling him how proud she was of him. His father had yet to say anything, but James was sure that he was busy thinking about the beautiful Firebolt that he was going to buy his eldest son for Christmas, which was only a few months away. Yes, everything was going perfectly.
That was, until he met Evelyn.
