Hogwarts Slytherin

Upon hearing this title, Sirius then raised his hand and slapped James hard on the back of the head as punishment for calling him "Pawpaw".

Everyone knew Sirius hated that nickname because it made him sound like an elf.

"Hey!" James exclaimed, raising a hand and rubbing his head vigorously.

Apparently, his scream caught Lily's eye, but he wasn't sure if that was a good thing.

When he caught her looking at him, he immediately began to smooth his hair gracefully, as if he had always done so, and then gave her what he thought was the most charming smile.

However, the slight concern in Lily's eyes a moment ago disappeared immediately when she saw his actions, and she quickly turned back to rejoin the conversation with her friends, continuing to ignore him.

James curled his lips angrily again: "Why do you abuse me every time she looks at me?" He sighed and continued to touch his head - it still hurt.

"Abuse?" Sirius repeated doubtfully, then paused, shrugged, waved his hands and said: "Anyway, you should thank me. I swear I just saw the look in Lily's eyes - Can I say that? - I care about you."

Hearing these words, James immediately cheered up and glanced at his sweetheart again, his eyes shining with hope.

His eyes became bright again, and he said with a smile: "Let's change our thinking. Maybe you should abuse me more, Padfoot."

The little Sirius rolled his eyes and murmured, "Believe me, I want to do so, fork, but I don't want to risk being stunned by Lily. The professor’s idea.”

James nodded in agreement.

Not long after the beginning of her fourth year, he witnessed her using her wand and fists to deal with a group of Slytherins who bullied the first-year Gryffindors.

Even assuming that he was not smitten by her at that time, he would definitely fall in love without hesitation when he saw her deliver that punch.

Even now, when he rested his chin on his palm and stared at Lily with dazed eyes as he recalled the scene, he still sighed like a girl.

Lupine kicked him under the table and said, "Wake up, Prongs. You're going to scare the hell out of her."

James suddenly came to his senses after being kicked, and just as he opened his mouth to respond, Peter said, "Oh, Lily is here."

Although, in fact, considering his mouth was stuffed with French toast - at least he could have had something with maple syrup, it sounded more like it.

"Oh, Nini Gunara."

Fortunately, after four years of friendship, all the Marauders were well-versed in Peter's various catering languages ​​and immediately understood what he was trying to say.

James' head jerked up, as if someone had whipped him.

Turning his head quickly toward the hall door, his newly bright eyes became more cheerful when he saw Lily Evans walking in front of her usual group of friends.

Lupine sighed and tried to eat faster, not sure if he really wanted to stay and listen to James ramble on - just because he'd seen James' reaction to his latest love poem.

Peter was now fully aware of what was about to happen, and he had consumed enough sugar, that he lifted his head from his plate and went on to eagerly swallow a mouthful of French toast.

"Ah, just in time." James smiled triumphantly. There was no doubt that he was referring to the group of owls that had delivered the letter in the morning. They would be arriving any minute now.

More students crowded into the auditorium, and now the surroundings were buzzing with people and silverware clinking.

The four Marauders watched as Lily walked over to sit down at a long girls' table, her three roommates huddled around her.

Her three roommates, whose names James knew because they were all in the same grade and one of them was technically a relative of his, were laughing about something.

Lily sat down and made herself a cup of tea and grabbed some sliced ​​fruit.

Her seat was facing him, which was good because it meant he could better observe her reactions.

Diagonally across from him, Lupine said dryly: "You're staring at her."

James barely blinked. "Of course I'm watching. I don't want to miss anything."

Sirius sneered and said slowly: "Trust has not been delivered yet. Are you sure you are not staring at her because you think she is so beautiful?"

Remus chuckled.

Peter looked a little uncomfortable.

Sirius continued to smirk.

James rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I think I'd better die first." He said to them sarcastically.

Sirius burst into laughter.

"Ah, well said!"

Sirius admitted, and he was willing to admit, that James did give surprising responses from time to time - more often than not he tended to think it was a mistake.

Lupine shook his head and said, "She'll be mad if she catches you staring at her like a stalker."

If you want to ask Lily Evans, who is the most annoying person in the wizarding world?

I believe that many Gryffindor students will immediately set their sights on James Potter.

Hearing this, James restrained himself a little, and turned to frown and protest in a low voice to Lupine: "Moon-face! I'm not a stalker!"

Lupine glanced at him.

James immediately asked, "How could I be a stalker?"

In hindsight, he shouldn't have asked.

As usual, Lupine gave the answer immediately, almost without thinking.

"You always talk about her when you open your mouth, you always find her near where you are in class, you always want her to be the target of our pranks, even if she is not the original plan. You write her love poems It’s just to make her——”

"Okay, okay, I understand, thank you, you can stop now." James held his head in pain, "You think too much, Moony Face, I really don't understand how to write love poems to her. That’s not a good idea.”

"That's not a good idea because it will make you angry," Lupine told him in an almost light-hearted tone, as if this should be common sense, as if he thought James was an idiot if he didn't know this.

"You're in pretentious mode again." James rolled his eyes. He still felt that writing love poems was a genius idea, especially this time. He was even more confident. Even Reggie gave him guidance. He I really can't think of any reason not to impress Lily.

Reggie and Lily have always had a good relationship, and since he said it's okay, Lily will definitely like it.

Lupine replied calmly: "No, I'm talking about logic."

"Very well. Since you know everything, please tell me why I got angry?"

Lupine raised his eyebrows.

Sirius leaned over, resting his chin on his hand, watching their exchange as if watching a Quidditch match.

Peter had also stopped eating and was staring at his friends curiously, looking forward to hearing Lupine's answer as much as Sirius did.

"Should I tell him, or should you tell him?" Lupine asked, and Sirius raised his hands in surrender.

"Oh, no, don't get me involved!"

James' suspicious eyes wandered between the two of them, and then he raised his eyebrows: "What bad ideas are you two planning behind your back?"

he asked suspiciously, but didn't really seem to care.

Sirius smiled evilly and said, "Oh, Merlin's stinky socks! Fork, you are so worthy of our gossip."

A normal person can tell that this is not a nice thing to say.

But James is obviously not in the range of normal people.

Hearing Sirius' answer, James smiled proudly, dusted off the non-existent dust on his red school robe, picked at his nails, and finally shrugged, saying exaggeratedly: "Oh, of course I know, after all. I'm so charming."

Sirius suppressed a laugh, Peter nodded happily, and Lupine rolled his eyes.

"Either way, what's going to make you angry is because once Lily finds out that those letters were written with Reggie's help - there are two potential outcomes that can happen, both of which are bad for you."

After hearing this, James tilted his head and said slowly: "Okay. Assuming she is smart enough to connect these - in fact she can't - and she eventually finds out that it is me - in fact She couldn't find it - what are the two possible outcomes, moon face?"

Lupine shrugged and explained: "The first result is that she will be very angry and then challenge you to a duel crazily. The result is that you will stay in the school hospital for several weeks."

Hearing this, James shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He could clearly imagine this scene and thought of Lily's points in the Duel Club.

James nodded, obviously he could clearly foresee this possibility: "What is the second result?" He thought as he raised the coffee cup and took a sip.

Lupine shrugged: "The second result is that she will be heartbroken. Because if she knows that this is done with the help of Reggie... No matter what, she will still find you for a duel crazily, and then Send you to the campus hospital."

James stopped and stared at Lupin.

Lupine stared back and waited, for several minutes he had to wait.

But when James turned his attention to Sirius, they both burst into laughter, as if Lupin's words were the funniest things they had ever heard.

Just a fool, a fool laughing.

"Heartbroken?" James laughed wildly, pressing his stomach with one hand and leaning forward tremblingly.

"Take him to the hospital?" Sirius yelled, almost spilling the cup of coffee with his excited elbow.

James' laughter stopped and he turned to Sirius, glaring at him.

"Hey! But Moony, why did you still send me to the hospital knowing that it was done with the help of Reggie - Merlin's smelly socks?!" James was angry.

Maybe it's the words themselves - one by one

Perhaps it was the way he asked the question in annoyance that made Sirius laugh again, and even Lupine let out a few chuckles, although he looked a little annoyed that no one took his remarks to heart.

However, he was not surprised.

To be honest, everyone knew that James and Sirius, two good friends, cared little about anything - well, maybe except Lily Evans and the Marauders.

Oh, and Quidditch.

The noise they made was too great, especially when James mentioned Lily's name, James was a little loud, causing the people next to him to look at Lily on the other side with gossipy eyes from time to time.

"Can you please keep your voice down?" Lily said mockingly from a few seats away, feeling annoyed by everyone's gaze.

As she spoke she leaned against the table so that she could look around her friends and see them clearly.

She frowned and said, "We all know that Potter is often sent to the hospital - you don't need to say it out loud, as if it's a huge secret!"

The Marauders all turned to stare at Lily with their mouths open, their laughter suddenly gone.

After Lily finished speaking, she rolled her eyes, leaned back, and turned away.

Lupine grabbed his goblet of pumpkin juice and nearly smashed it to his mouth to hide his grin.

Peter tilted his head, as if he was weighing James' character, looking for some shining points of humanity in his character so that he could understand the entire conversation more clearly.

Sirius rarely stared at Lily with admiration. It was obvious that after Lily unknowingly contributed to their favorite hobby - teasing James, his evaluation of Lily had invisibly improved.

James' mouth was still open, obviously he didn't expect her to say such direct words, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

James Potter, a student who is eloquent, fearless, and a headache for all the professors at Hogwarts, only becomes speechless when facing Miss Lily Evans. , completely helpless.

Even Professor McGonagall has heard of this.

His speechlessness once again pushed Sirius to the brink of collapse, and he burst out laughing uncontrollably. He laughed so hard that his face turned red, and even Slytherin couldn't bear it. Zhu glanced at him in this direction, but he failed to give them a fierce look as usual.

Much to James' dismay, Lupine was also dying, and he soon couldn't hold it in and joined Sirius in laughing.

Even Peter chuckled a bit, clearly finding the situation really funny.

The fact was that he even pushed his breakfast away as he chuckled - a telltale sign.

James started to protest, "Hey, stop laughing! This isn't funny!"

But then the arrival of the owl saved him the need for further action, and his friends automatically stopped laughing at the sight of the owl.

"Oh, it's finally here!" James straightened up and looked up as the owl began to unapologetically throw letters and packages to the recipients.

The predators' eyes were focused on Lily's long table, witnessing an owl swooping down and throwing an envelope into Lily Evans' fruit plate. However, before they could get excited, another owl flew over to give it to Lily Evans. She dropped the second letter.
