James set alone at breakfast. away from Sirius, but also away from Remus and Lily, he was now also pissed at her.
Remus was already sitting with her so he set down between two groups of griffindors he hadn't talk to much, sending a look over to see Sirius was sitting with Peter who looked stressed. More than usual stressed. James didn't blame him for staying with Sirius he knew that if Peter didn't, Sirius would have done something dramatic and stupid so actually he was thankful Peter was there.
Then he looked over to Lily she looks lovely as always and she was listening to something Remus is telling her he smiled for a short second before the memory of their fight rushed over him and he looked away to find Severus in his gaze When he located him a smile immediately formed on his face seeing as he sits with his usual group of friends and 'he looks good. I mean he physically looks good. I mean he looks unharmed.' he caught his thought train and shut it off by looking at his own plate blushing hard he just had a thought of Severus. A thought he knows well. But never in Severus contact. He knew it about his friends about Lily about Remus hell he'd even admit Sirius and Peter look good but Severus the guy Lily was always around who looked at Lily the same as James does? No. That never crossed his mind before but now that it has it keeps running and even though his gaze is focused on his plate and he is eating his food and there is so much noise around him One thing is clear to him 'I care for him. Well shit.' He takes another look to the slytherin table and chuckled to find Mulciber playfully petting Severus head and watching as Severus shyly pushes him away "They're good" James whispered to himself any nerves in his body calming down And he decided he's done with his food making his way to the first class
