James leisurely made his way towards his dorm.
Just having finished leading the Gyriffindor practice he felt the heavy weight of exhaustion on his body.
The match against Ravenclaw would be challenging, he knew they were good, amazing even. They have the mind, the strategies, and the skill. All a team needs really.
Truthfully, they will be hard to beat. For this reason, James made sure his team pushed themselves to their limit.
Unbeknownst to him, a small black cat was quietly following him, lurking in his shadow. Invisible to the simple eye.
As James opened the door to his dorm he was greeted by the familiar sight of his friends. With a casual "hi" he nodded in their direction and made his way towards the bed. He let out a deep sigh before collapsing face first instantly feeling the soft comfort of the mattress hugging his body.
In his exhausted state, he failed to notice Sirius' double take at him, or Remus' shocked, yet greatly amused expression.
"Made a new friend I see?" Peter asked after glancing up from his book.
"I thought you'd be happier about it honestly" followed Sirius.
Confused, James lifted his head to but before he could ask what they meant, he found a pair of beautiful gray eyes staring back at him.
Like a deer caught in the headlights, he stared at the Black cat now sitting on the edge of his bed.
The cats gaze was focused on James and only him.
But James could even react, with a blink of an eye he was gone once again.
He quickly made his way out of the open window Sirius and Remus were using to smoke, and jumped into the black night.
Panicked, James hastily stood up in an attempt to follow the apparently idiotic cat.
He threw himself to the window once his shock disappeared and searched for the gray eyes.
To his pleasant suprise, he found them staring at him by the window of one of the neighbouring dorms.
The whole encounter lasted no more than a few fleeting moments but that did not stop James from grinning.
With a quick turn back to his concerned friends he laughed "I told you guys, strays love me".
