You were at the Potter house, a second home for you since you became best friends with Lily Luna. The afternoon was peaceful, laughter echoing through the room as you and Lily flipped through the family's old books. But something caught his attention. Through the window, you saw James Sirius Potter leaving the house with a mysterious air, as if he was escaping something or heading towards a secret.

Without thinking twice, you stood up and whispered to Lily that you would be back soon. You, curious, followed James through the back garden, trying to be discreet as he walked towards the forest that surrounded the property. Dusk was beginning to fall and the silence of the forest made his breathing seem louder.

Suddenly, James stopped, and before you could hide, he quickly turned around, catching you by surprise. Your heart almost jumped out of your chest and you jumped back.

"Merlin! What a scare!" you exclaimed, placing your hand on your chest.

He smiled, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Scare? I'd say you're the loudest spy at Hogwarts."
