Enchanted | James Potter

Chapter 1: How It Began.

James Potter would never have picked up the enchanted diary if not for his curiosity and downright meddlesomeness. At that time he did not know what an enchanted diary was and who it belonged to, let alone that it would change his whole life. 

He was strolling down the corridors, trying to act unsuspicious after pranking Filch when he noticed the diary lying on the floor. He obviously picked it up and opened the first page. "The Enchanted Diary" was printed on the front cover. The next page had instructions, the instructions to use the diary. It was a two way diary made for convenient conversations. There were multiple diaries and they were connected. What one person wrote in their diary appeared in the diary of the others. James was fascinated. He had never seen anything like it and of course his first thought was that he must use it for a prank. 

"Hello! It seems you have lost your diary. Who are you?" he wrote as soon as he reached his dormitory. He had to be extra careful so that his roommates did not see him.

"That is none of your concern. When will you give me my diary back" came the reply.

"Not so easily. First, tell me your name"

"I will not tell you my name"

"Okay then if you want the diary back, you have to do something for me"

"And what might that be"

"Teach me how you enchanted the diaries"

"I will not tell you that"

"You are tough to bargain with"

"Maybe you should just return to me what doesn't belong to you"

"Now that's way too easy. I like drama"

"You are clearly an idiot then"

"I have been called that multiple times on multiple occasions"

"You sound proud"

"Yes Ma'am/Sir. See I don't even know if you are a girl or boy. How am I supposed to return it to you if I don't know who you are?"

"Just keep it where you found it. I'll do the rest"

"That's no fun"

"I didn't mean for it to be fun"

"Oh I'm liking this. Give me three hints for your identity and I'll have three guesses to who you are."

"Why do you have to complicate everything?"

"I'm bored. I wanna have some fun. What say?"

"Okay. Here you go-
•I'm really dangerous when I get angry.
•That dairy is my most beloved creation.
•I'll kill you if you don't return it back."

"Wow! That was fun. That's not how it works though and you can't kill me yet since you don't know me"

"You sound like an idiot. It'll be easy to find you"

"Okay. Let's see how long it takes you to find me. Till then the diary remains with me."

"Challenge accepted!"

"Good. Now at least tell me your house"

"I'm not telling you anything"

"Merlin! You are feisty. I guess I'll have to find out who you are on my own"

"Yeah. We'll see how that goes"

"Is that a challenge?"

"You can consider it what you want"

"Challenge accepted"

"And I don't care. You are really annoying too. That's my second hint. Idiot and annoying."

"You're funny."

"Trust me. I'm not trying to be."

"Then that's the best kind of funny."

"I've had enough. Good night now."

"Oh. I was linking our chat. We'll talk tomorrow now. Good night!"

"We will not."

"Yeah we will."

"Good Bye."

Good Bye. See you later!"

"We'll see about that."

And that's how it went. Both of them really enjoying each other but not realizing that. It was just a challenge for James Potter, and for Flora Abernathy, another trouble.
