Anyone who knew me then would say I loved you far too much.
Like a wildfire or the sharp edge of a knife.
Anyone would have told you I stopped being the person I was
the second you walked into my life.
They would have said love wasn't supposed to drive you crazy,
make you want to scratch at your skin.
And they were right.
Because there was love and then there was you.

Because there was love and then there was you

Trigger warning: torture (I guess?)

James was an extremely talented wizard and, despite what many believed, he was quite an intelligent one as well. His confident nature along with his stubborn character pushed him to ace most of his classes with ease. Herbology was definitely not one of those classes.

The Professor had appointed a tutor for him and James wasn't the least bit embarrassed about it. If anything, he was glad Remus would now be forced to help him study. But the Herbology Professor believed that although Remus was an excellent student, appointing him as James' tutor would only serve as a distraction for the spectacle-using boy. So instead, she chose a student that she knew was perfectly capable of putting James Potter in his place, Lily Evans.

The irony of how his path began to cross with Lily's after he got over her was hysterical. It used to be all fights and arguments back when he was head over heels for her, and now that the red head fancied him, he'd met her family and she'd be tutoring him on a daily basis he wasn't the least bit fazed. Last year James would've been over the moon excited, but a year changes you a lot, and now his biggest worry was definitely the at least three illegal activities he was partaking in. Brewing a dangerous potion, kidnapping a fellow student and using veritaserum on her were just a few of the rules and laws they were breaking.

Stress was definitely beginning to take a toll on them. If the search for a potion with such dark purposes had been hard, brewing it was even harder. Not even Alexis, Remus or Catherine, who all excelled at potions, had the slightest clue of what they were doing. This had a bigger link to the Dark Arts than anything they'd ever done before. And finding the ingredients had been yet another complicated task. They soon found out they would have to look further than just at Slughorn for help, because even though the professor aided them with answering their 'hypothetical' questions on the matter he only possessed three ingredients out of the nine that were needed. So the group realized they needed more help, specifically from a half giant that lived right outside the castle.
