WHO: James and Frank
WHAT: Amusement! Frank has some serious teasing to do.
WHERE: By the lake.
WHEN: this afternoon
RATING: PG-13 for language and crude conversation ;)
STATUS: in progress

To be perfectly and completely honest, Lily's teasing about kissing boys disturbed James far more than he cared to admit. Sure, he knew fully well that he was being incredibly over-protective and that she was going to do whatever she wanted regardless of how he felt, but that didn't stop him from wanting desperately for her to stop growing up. It was hard to think of her as more than his baby sister. He didn't like having to think of her growing up and dating all of the idiots running around.

James knew exactly what he'd been up to himself lately, the memories he had with Emily from the Halloween Ball (more specifically, after they'd been removed from the ball due to inappropriate actions) still causing him to smile in spite of himself. He knew of his own appetite for the fairer sex and how often they ran through his mind. And he didn't want Lily getting caught up with someone like him. She was too... well, she was his little sister. He didn't want her to get hurt.

It frustrated him. However, he knew there really wasn't too much he could do about it unless whoever it was that was kissing on his baby sister decided to be honorable and meet up with him. So he simply pushed those serious thoughts to the back of his mind to focus on more pleasant ones as he moved outside, craving the crisp air to help calm himself.

As an extra precaution, James tightened the scarf (another of his grandmother's gifts) closer, not wanting to get any sicker than he was at the moment -- he and Emily, after being removed, escaped to the Landing to proceed with rather dirty actions. Outside. In October. And were, therefore, both suffering from slight colds. The memory caused that smile that had generally accompanied it to form itself into more of a smirk as he moved leisurely towards the lake, his hands finding their way into his pockets as he noted idly that he wasn't sore any longer.

Neville wasn't exactly a strict father; he hadn't grown up with parents, much like Harry, and his Grandmother had been far too hard on him, so he had always treated the kids in ways that any child would dream of from a father. He was laid back, and was a bit too quiet to be really strict. But Hannah was also quite fun loving; that was probably why Alice and Frank got a way with a lot growing up. He never complained.

Frank just laughed, shaking his head. "Yeah.." he trailed off, just thinking about things. How lucky James was, maybe. He never got attatched. He got to date--and most of the time, shag--the prettiest girls in school. And they still remained friends, most of the time. He didn't have to worry about breaking it off and being upset and still having feelings for someone.

Glancing at him, he looked away as they talked about Carmen. "Yeah, she commented on my journal, asking how I was doing." He shook his head, laughing at himself as he remembered his reaction. "I'm such a bumbling idiot. I just answered her in like...three words."

James, though he certainly had no qualms with admitting his sexual appeal and good lucks whenever possible, honestly didn't know quite how he'd managed to be such a bachelor with such ease. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that he was about as far from an arrogant jerk as possible, his friendly and compassionate nature making it quite simple for him to stay friends with the girls he dated. He occasionally wished he could find the right fit, though, for he knew he did eventually want to settle down and have a family. But it was the time in his life when he was supposed to have fun, so he might as well fulfill that to the best of his abilities.
After all, he was graduating before too long and wouldn't see a lot of these people again, so why worry with a relationship? He wanted to travel immediately after he left the school, not marry some girl who'd force him to become a provider and father.

Looking back to Frank, he sighed and shook his head at him. "Well, was it an appropriate three words? If its going to be a short response, it had better at least have been good," he commented.
