        "What's 1 + 1?" Remus asks. You could say that he's conducting an experiment.

"Window," James and Sophia reply in perfect unison.

"What? No, it's two!" Lily exclaims. James and Sophia scoff.

"Hey, James how old is your mum?" Remus asks.

"I dunno, like fifty," James shrugs. Sophia makes a face. Not a surprised one or anything like that, one that says 'wrong answer'.

"Okay," Remus says.

Everyone was sitting in the Great Hall when Sophia noticed a first year Hufflepuff standing near their table and staring at her. She smiles at him.

The boy's eyes go wide before rolling back into his head and he collapses with a nosebleed.

"Oh my god!" Sophia screams. She jumps over the table and kneels at the boy's side. Her hands flutter around him while she panics over what to do. "I think I killed him," Sophia says quietly to her brother and her friends.

James pulls Sophia up next to him on the bench. "Calm down Soph. You didn't kill him. Go get a teacher," James instructs.

Sophia nods and runs off while James kneels at the boys side and takes his pulse. James nods to himself and props the boy against the bench. Sirius hands him a cup of water.

"You can't give that to him, he'll choke," Marlene says.

"No he won't. He's unconscious but his body will still respond to an extent," James says, gently pouring some water into the boys mouth. (For the record I totally just made that shit up. I'm not a doctor)

"Okay, I'll take it from here. Thank you Potter," Mcgonagall says. James nods and backs up.

"I'll carry the boy to the infirmary. You two try and calm Sophie down," Remus says to James and Sirius.

"Okay," Sirius says. Remus picks up the boy and follows Mcgonagall to the Hospital Wing.

Lily was in shock. Also slightly awed. James had known what to do and he had taken care of everyone concerned. He hadn't winked or run his hadn't through his hair once. This wasn't James trying to be cool or sauve. This is just James. Maybe she was wrong about him.
