The professor was someone under polyjuice? It sounds like the entire school has gone complete bonkers.
[ But James is laughing anyway because that? That sounds like a prank he might have pulled in his earlier years. Doesn't really hold the same light these days, but a laugh is a laugh. ]
Yes, well, it's not a proper school year unless one of the professors tries to kill a few students.
[Harry almost laughs as he says it and doesn't see anything all that unusual. If it was like that when he was at school, surely it was like that for everyone else?]
Like anything to do with the Hallows, it's another messy story.
[With both the Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone lost or hidden, Harry thought it wise to do the same with the third of the Deathly Hallows. The cloak seems to be the most harmless, but he still doesn't trust it as he once did.]

morbid humour powers are a GO.

dude, your life needs to calm down
[ The difference is that James is joking. Doesn't really understand that Harry isn't, entirely. ]
no subject
[James probably can't hear the shrug, but it's there nonetheless.]
...you know, I do sometimes wonder how they figured out who to hire.
no subject
[ he might say it a little carelessly, seeing as he doesn't actually know much about Harry's life. Everything Remus told him stopped at his death. ]
They get some characters through those doors, don't they?
no subject
[Harry wonders just how much Sirius and Remus know about him and how much they've told James.]
Even if I wasn't really doing schoolwork, I kept busy.
no subject
Partially why James had contacted him in the first place. ]
There's plenty to keep busy with around that castle. Which, mate, reminds me - how'd you know about the Invisibility Cloak?
[ It's an honest enough answer, but James is just curious how the cloak changes hands. If Harry puts it to good use. ]
no subject
[Should he get into what the cloak actually is?]
It's gone now, but that's probably for the best. Did you know it was one of the Deathly Hallows?
no subject
It is quite helpful, that.
[ A pause, and then: ]
Gone? Gone how? And no, I had no idea. Found it in the attic when I was a boy and mum just told me it was a family heirloom of some kind.
