Oblivious - James Sirius Potter

The Slytherin Boy

James had lots of students disliking him, mainly the male population.

One of them are none other than Finnick Brown. It's quite simple why he dislike James. He pranked the poor boy on his first day on Hogwarts. Something about Gryffindor being better than Slytherin. Needless to say he hated him ever since.

It was the nicest weather of the month. Finnick Brown, Alan Thompson, and Marius Horton are hanging around at the black lake, throwing rocks and enjoying the fresh day. They were on a pretty good mood until they saw James, Jason, and Timothy came strolling down towards them.

The three Gryffindors were laughing about something as they walked closer.

Alan Thompson, stopped throwing rocks and looked over to the three gryffindors walking, "Bet you three sickles they would act surprise as if they didn't know we were here."

And right on cue, Jason said the words, "Oh look who's here!"

Alan just smirked as Marius hand him three sickles.

"Three Slyhterins throwing rocks at the lake, crying over their sad life." Jason continued as he took a step closer to Marius.

Finnick were standing right behind Marius, hands inside his pocket. James noticed his presence and gave a confused look. "Do i know you from somewhere?" said James referring to Finnick. James walked to him, trying to remember his face.

Finnick knows how to  talk to Gryffindors, just give them praises and you're good to go. "Your very first and best prank, Potter." said Finnick.

Finnick was surprised to see that James doesn't take the answer very well, when he usually just smirk and continue to talk. James were still thinking, as if he doesn't care that he's the very first person he ever pranked.

"You're friends with Lynch." said James as he smirk, clearly proud of himself for remembering such a small detail he rarely knows.

Finnick took a big gulp, and regretted it the very next second. James can see the most uncomfortable look on his face, and he's enjoying it. "you know, Lynch and I became friends these past few weeks."

Finnick scoffs, knowing that Miraline hated James to the guts. It's hard to not notice that every time someone mention James' name, she just rolled her eyes and let out a groan.

"Yeah, I'm sure you are" said Finnick. James picked up on the sarcastic tone, as he furrowed his eyebrows and wipe the smirk off his face.

"I think we're gonna see each other more often from now on," said James with a very serious look on his face. It's like he's threatening Finnick. And Finnick caught on. He knew he was being targeted.

"Come one, lads. Let's leave these sad Slytherins alone"

The three Slytherin boys were quite surprised they didn't prank them (Although, Finnick felt worse when they do, knowing that there's more to come). Even Jason and Timothy were surprised they didn't prank them. Despite the heated rivalry between the two houses, James never ever let the opportunity to prank just slide. It's so unlike him.

"I thought you say we're going to try out some new spells on them" said Jason, looking disappointed.

"Don't worry. We're going to try that new spell on the other students." said James "I think they deserve more than just spells. They deserve an epic prank that would be remembered. A prank that make us legends."

"I think you're taking this a bit too seriously, James." said Timothy. "It's better to just finish it off today. Pranks take so much work."

"Not all pranks are hard, Timmy" said James. "Like that time you dared me to jump off a tower. That was kind of like a prank."

"I didn't dare you." said Timothy "I said 'James, don't jump off the tower' and you just jumped off the tower!"

"Well, Good thing you're not dead" said Jason "You promised me a broom for Christmas."

"That's the only reason you wished i'm alive? A bloody broom?" said James offended. "Might as well jumped off the tower again. See if I die then."

"Jumped off a gain my arse! You swore you hated towers ever since" said Timothy. 

"Oh i remembered it clearly, alright! 'No Poppy! It hurts! I need my legs don't cut it off, what are you doing?'" Jason said mockingly, and James just punched his shoulder.

At times like this, they didn't look like bullies. They're just stupid kids seeking for fun.
