McGonagall: (about a biography assignment) It doesn't have to be somebody famous, just somebody real. Anybody you like and respect.
James: Anybody?
McGonagall: Anybody.
Sirius: Absolutely anybody?
McGonagall: Absolutely anybody.
James: I pick Sirius!
Sirius: I pick James!
Lily: You know, you walked right into that.
McGonagall: I did, didn't I?
James and Lily on their first date and Lily can’t seem to understand why James gets pissed off when he sees a black stray dog sitting outside the Three Broomsticks wagging his tail.
One night under his invisibility cloak James Potter wandered, it was quite abnormal to find him alone like this. He had been feeling pretty down lately for one reason or another and decided once everyone was quiet in their beds to take a walk. He came across a room with a very large mirror and decided to play the game of having no reflection under the cloak. This always gave him a chuckle for whatever reason.
However when he stepped in front of the mirror he nearly jumped, for in the mirror was a picture of himself, a little older, and Lily Evans, also older, holding something wrapped in a blanket. Then a little hand reached out and James, in the mirror played with it, and he realized it was him and Lily, together, with a baby. He must have been watching the mirror for at least an hour when something dropped down beside him making him jump. Then worrying him even more he realized it was Lily and with huge eyes asked what she saw.
“A mirror silly, what are you doing up anyways?”
“oh, couldn’t sleep, but look if I move away…”
as he did Lily whispered oh so soft he couldn’t be sure that he actually heard it. After a few moments he asked her what she saw, she responded quickly, her cheeks flaming.
“Well I believe from reading it somewhere that its the mirror of Erised, which shows your deepest wants and desires, I see myself working as an auror for the ministry of course…”
James spun a story about the house cup.
They sat for quiet awhile staring, just far enough away that they could both see their images. However, what neither told the other was that their pictures were the same..
McGonagall: I assume you realize this kind of idiocy will not be tolerated in my classroom.
Sirius: Is there another type of idiocy you would be more comfortable with?
James: I'm not a nerd!
Lily [skeptic]: Mm hmm..
An hour later
James, reading a Transfiguration book before bed: So, crinus muto is one of the hardest transfiguration spells to get correct— but the wand movements here are all messed up. Huh.
Remus: Sirius, don't say a word.
Sirius:...
Sirius: Fergalicious
Remus: I said no words
Sirius: oH I see. Two weeks ago playing Scrabble it's not a word and now suddenly it is a word because it's convenient for you
Peter: I never know what to say to people at funerals.
Sirius: Oh, just say "I'm sorry for your loss" and then move on.
*a minute later*
Peter: I'm sorry for your loss. Move on.
Sirus: We should do a prank with updogs.
Remus: What's updog?
Sirius: Nothing much. You?
Remus:
Remus:
James & Sirius: *High five*
