James Potter didn't believe that one day he would replicate a deer in headlights.
But there's a first time for everything.

It was an average day, Sirius and Remus chatting about anything and everything, James flirting with Lily and Peter egging him on. Nothing special.

Eventually, Lily got fed up and left a pouting Potter half way through a terrible pick up line.

"One day" James told the rest of the marauders, "I will get her to be my girlfriend"

"Sure, Prongs"

"Whatever floats your boat"

"Good luck with that"

James could tell that something was wrong with Sirius and Remus.

They were in the common room, actually doing their homework after ages of Moony's persuading, and James couldn't help but notice the strange glances between his two friends.

Remus kept glancing at Sirius, biting his lip then looking away, then Sirius would look at Remus, start blushing and look away as well.

It was very confusing for oblivious James.

"I'm feeling quite tired, I'm going to bed" Remus declared, standing up.

"Yeah, I'll be going as well" Sirius decided, standing up also.

"G'night Moony, g'night Padfoot" Peter mumbled, sucking on his sugar quill as he wrote his Potions essay out.

James regarded them suspiciously, but said goodnight anyway. 

Then they both strolled up the stairs and into the dormitories.

About two hours later, when Peter had fallen asleep with his quill hanging out of his mouth, James thought it was best to head upstairs to bed.

He threw a scarlet red blanket over Peter and put a golden pillow behind his head so he was more comfortable, then, once his work was away, headed up the stairs.

James, not wanting to wake up his friends, opened the door slowly and soundlessly, but his friends weren't asleep.

On Sirius' bed was Sirius straddling Remus. They were snogging and Sirius' hands were in Remus' hair and Remus' hands were on Sirius' waist.

James stood there, frozen completely.

His hazel eyes were wide as saucers and his jaw was basically on the floor.

If someone had taken a picture of James at that moment you would think he was a deer about to be hit by a car.

How charming.

Eventually, he snapped out of his daze and shouted,
"WHA-I-YOU-HIM" until he was spluttering incoherent noises.

Sirius and Remus looked embarrassed but amused by James' presence.

"Well, um, I'm dating Sirius" Remus announced, smiling shyly at James.

"Yeah, I think I gathered that" James breathed, "can you just tell me next time instead of giving me a bloody heart attack?"

"Sure" Sirius smirked, "but now you know, there will be a lot more snogging and maybe even s-"

"SHU-SSHUT UP" James spluttered, looking scandalised.

"I'm kidding I'm kidding" Sirius
laughed.

Suddenly, there was a plodding noise getting louder and louder.
Peter, rubbing his eyes and yawning, appeared in the doorway.

"What's wro-" Peter finally looked up and took in the sight.

A smirking Sirius straddling a flushed Remus (them both with swelled lips) and an embarrassed James stood near the door.

Peter wasn't the smartest of people, but he's not that dumb.

Peter sighed and dug his hand into his pocket.
Pulling out ten galleons he reluctantly handed them to James.

"You're as bad as bloody Marlene and Mary with all this lovey dovey predictions" Peter mumbled as he crawled into his bed.

Sirius, Remus and James all looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Wolfstar has sailed" James thought triumphantly, even if he had at one point been a deer in headlights.
