Love and Darkness

Chapter Three:

James Potter grinned to his reflection, pleased with how white he had gotten his teeth to be, how straight and bright. His hair, well�That was something he didn�t bother attempting to fix anymore, but it was cut a bit shorter, so it didn�t look near as wild as it normally did. His uniform was neat and perfect, prefect badge shining on his chest. Yes, starting now, he would have Lily Evans as his girlfriend, even if Sirius and Peter found it necessary to tease him mercilessly about it (as they had all summer, Peter mainly just agreeing with Sirius, Remus saying nothing). He loved her, and even if he had to change completely, he would have her. No more pranks (in her presence, or publicly done to where she would inevitably hear of it), being more respectful to her and her friends, acting as mature as he could manage. All of the times she called him immature and rude and blah blah blah alerted him as to what he needed to change to be her boyfriend.

�Excuse me, have you by any chance seen my best friend?� James rolled his eyes and straightened his tie. �You know him, James Potter? He was a good man once. Good at pranks and whatnot. Used to be a cool man. It�s a shame, though, he�s a good boy now, and he hasn�t even been trained yet. Tsk tsk. Oh, James, is that you?�

James reached for his back to throw at Sirius who was standing in the compartment door, which ended up being smart when he noticed Lily standing behind Sirius from the corner of his eye, waiting impatiently for him to join her in the prefects compartment. He smirked to himself for a moment before sighing.

�Really, Sirius, we�re almost sixteen! We should really think about growing up. I mean, we have the OWLS at the end of this year! Then it�s NEWTS�Then? Then we have to get jobs, and I won�t be joining you working at some sleezy bar in Knockturn Alley��

Sirius snorted and left, mumbling about, �Sucks for you; sleezy bars is where you find all the right witches.�

James shook his head, pretending not to be aware of Lily�s presence as he ran a comb through his hair, doing so lightly as not to get the comb stuck. That would be embarrassing when he was trying to impress Lily.

�Wow, Potter, I would never have known,� Lily said sarcastically, stepping in. She wasn�t all warmed up to him yet, but he knew getting Lily Evans would be some work. But she was worth it. She was definitely worth it.

�Well, it�s true, Evans,� said James. �OWLS, NEWTS, and then it�s the real world. I need to get serious. What are pranks going to get me? A bad record? You cant get a job as an Auror with such a bad record, Evans, can you?�

�I guess not,� said Lily, clearing her throat and running her hands through her hair. �You ready yet? We have to check the compartments and make sure everyone�s behaving�Not hanging out with Sirius and seeing how long it takes before Jasmine Kringle believes that monsters are in her compartment and make her run out screaming again.�

James shook his head. �Not today, Lily Evans. James Potter is a changed man.�

He could feel Lily rolling her eyes. �Sure, Potter. Come on��

James followed Lily out and down the train, checking in on compartments and the passengers, checking in with the other prefects, and everything else that came with prefects duty. Near the end of the train, James was presented with an opportunity that he nearly regretted having to miss. Sirius was standing at the compartment across from his own, Peter standing in the doorway of their compartment, Remus inside, talking to his girlfriend, Mary McDoogle.

�C�mon, Snivelus, stop stalking the poor girl,� Sirius was chuckling. �Hey, James, get over here! Seems that Snivelus has kidnapped Philomena Masterson. Take my hand, Phil, I�ll save you!�

Sirius reached his hand into the compartment and was immediately shoved back into Peter chuckling. Lily stepped forward, face red with anger as she stepped into the compartment with Snape and Philomena. James stepped up in between Lily and Sirius, looking back and forth. Philomena and Snape were on the same seat, as far apart as humanly possible, tucked into the corners. Philomena was glaring dangerously at Sirius, Snape looking down at his shoes, saying nothing, quite pale. Lily was trying to communicate to him through her eyes, trying to make eye contact.

�Really, Sirius, you act as though two people can�t be friends,� James said, shaking his head, causing Sirius to gape up at him in disbelief. Snape looked up at him, black eyes suspicious and confused. James gave him a brief look, hoping he communicated that he was not being nice and that he would only be safe in the presence in a group of other people.

�Right, �cause Snivelus has friend,� snorted Sirius, standing up and leaning against the doorway.

�I�m his friend!� shouted Lily, jumping to her feet and glaring at Sirius. �We�ve been friends since we were eight! Best friends! SO LEAVE HIM ALONE!�

Sirius looked shocked. Hell, James was shocked. Philomena Masterson was one thing, but Lily! His Lily! James took a deep breath and forced himself to look calm. Appear calm. He was calm. No reason to be angry; Lily could have whatever friends she wanted to have. Even if it was Sniv-Snape.

�And we�re not friends,� corrected Philomena, also standing up. �We�re dating.�

Sirius and Peter burst into laughter and James chuckled, stopping at once when Lily shot him a glare. Remus and Mary came into the doorway, curious as to what was happening.

�Yes, dating!� snapped Philomena. �We hold hands, we have dinner, we make out! We�ve had sex! Sex, sex, sex, sex, and sex! And he�s good at it! Very-�

But Philomena was cut off, because both Snape and Lily had jumped on her, forcing her into a seat, somebody�s hand tight over her mouth.

Sirius and Peter looked confused.

�WHAT?� shouted Sirius. �No, there is no WAY that Snivellus had sex before I did!�

�WELL-� began Philomena, but Snape struggled out of Philomena�s grip and clamped his hand back down over her mouth, face as red as the red of a Gryffindor.

�Sirius, Peter, Remus, Mary, back into your compartment and stop causing problems before I give you all a detention!� barked James, smirking when he saw how stunned and mad Sirius looked as he ushered the others back into the compartment.

Lily quickly said her good byes to Philomena and Snape as Snape tried to calm Philomena down and quietly shut the compartment back, following James back up the train.

�That was actually not half bad, Potter,� Lily said, offering him a small, reluctant smile.

It wasn�t great, but it was a pretty damn good start.

TBC

Well�That was interesting.
