James came down from the Dormitory. He was in a better mood than the previous day and hoped he could make others realize this.

He looked at the Hourglass on the mantle; it hadn't changed.
He then looked at the Notice Board. A message had been put there recently but he hadn't noticed.

"Flying class? Wonder if that means there'll be mention of Quidditch. Well I already know how to fly, but it wouldn't hurt to be present just in case." he thought.

James straightened his tie and robes and exited through the double doors out of the Common Room.
