I told Professor Dumbledore what I did now that I'm back at school. The one in my time, I mean. I told him what I did, why I did it and that I would be handing in my Prefect badge. I know acted rashly and childishly, and... I won't be surprised if Potter never wants to speak to me again. I told Professor Dumbledore I don't deserve to be a Prefect anymore because I sunk down to Potter's level, and maybe even a bit further than that. I turned into a bully, like the students I stand up to on the behalf of those who get pushed around, simple as that.

And he made me keep my badge. He told me that it was a human reaction and even the best of wizards have acted on their tempers. It was strange, but before I left he said something about "sadness flying away on the wings of time" and not forcing forgiveness. ...Bit odd, that. I don't see why I would force him to forgive me....

When you see this, can you meet me outside the History of Magic classroom? I have something to talk to you about and it's very important.

Maybe when you're older, you will.

I'd like to, but I think he's been avoiding me. I didn't see him on the train back to school or anywhere else.

Really? ...Why would he hide? All you did was make him think you kissed him. He didn't get his pants pulled down in front of everyone or something embarrassing.

Maybe he thinks you don't like him.

[There is SO MUCH she wants to say about what a bully James has been over the years but... he's only ten. She can't bring herself to vilify him in regards to his treatment of Sev when she's wronged him.]

It's possible....

He shouldn't hide. And you need to apologize. You're both doing something wrong here.

You should put a note somewhere where he can see it.

Okay... I'll do that.
