I'll be tutoring who now???

Beth's POV

I sat at the Ravenclaw Table with my best friend Katy Tealler. Her dark blonde hair swung over one shoulder in curls. Whereas my deep red hair is thrown up into a ponytail my fringe hanging over one of my eyes as I read Wuthering Heights for the 5th time.

I am in my sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I didn't have a clue this world existed 7 years ago. But on my 11th birthday a man arrived with a letter telling me that I am a witch. And now...here I am. One of the top students of the year, but not well known at all. I am just that strange girl with the really red hair. It is naturally a light ginger but I decided to dye it, and I personally prefer it. My eyes are a bright silver blue. Like a lake in summer, which is funny seeing as my middle name is Wynter.

I have just finished my dinner and am going to go up to the common room, or was going to go up to the common because a small second year Hufflepuff boy came up to me.

'Hello, Are you Bethany Anders?'

'Yes, I am.'

'Well, Professor McGonagall wants to see you. She says it is urgent.'

'Okay, Thankyou.' Oh no, which member of my family has died. Thats the only reason McGonagall will want to see me, not good. Not good at all. Grandpa has been ill lately, Oh I hope he is okay. I didn't even notice that I was already at the stone gargoyle. I said the password and walked/ran up the moving spiral staircase. I quickly rapt on the door.

'Come in Bethany.' I heard McGonagall aged voice through the large ornate door. But I got a surprise when I not only saw the Headmistress, but also, James Potter. Quidditch Captain and well-known prankster and womaniser. He really is a lovely fellow, not.

'Hello Professor McGonagall.'

'Well, I am sure that you are wondering why you are here.'

'Yes, I am.' I turned my head to see James looking at me, probably wondering if I am in his year.

'Miss Anders, James' grades are falling and I have decided to get him a tutor.' Oh no. Hell no. I will never be able to tutor him, he will not try, he will just mess about. If this costs me my future as a Healer, I will throtle him. 'I am sure you understand why you are here now.'

'Yes, I think I do. You wish for me to tutor James.'

'Yes, Miss Anders. He has to have all his homework and essays in on time, as have you, and he must have at least an hour tutor time for each subject. Which shouldn't be too hard as you both have all the same classes. Yes?'

'Yes. We do.'

'We do?' James said for the first time. I nodded in response.

'That is all. You two may leave.' I stood up and waved a good bye.

'See you soon Minnie.'

'James I have told you to nev-' The door shut behind me and James. I stomped down the stairs.

'Hey. Wait up, Beth right?'

'Yes.'

'You've been here since first year?'

'Yes, I have. Ravenclaw. Had at least one lesson with you every year.'

'Oh.' Was all he could say.

'So lets start this way, when can't tutoring sessions be? Because I can't do Wednesdays or Fridays.' He looked at me strangely. 'Patrolling.' I answered his unspoken question.

'Oh Well, I can't do Wednesdays either or Mondays.'

'Oh Okay, So I say we do Transfiguration, DADA and Muggle Studies on Tuesdays and Potions, Charms and Herbology on Thursdays and Astronomy for an hour on Saturdays.'

'That sounds, like a busy week for us then.'

'Yes it is.' The I walked over to the Ravenclaw table next to Katy. 'I have to tutor James Freakin' Potter.'

'Oh you know you love it.' Katy laughed in her welsh accent.

'Oh yes, my dream has come true.' I said with heavy sarcasm. Then we went into a conversation about how to deal with him, without murder.

James POV.

Who knew that I would need tutoring. Hah, Beth will get so annoyed by me, but I do want better grades, so...I need to make this work. I want to be an Auror, so I need good grades. Plus this is NEWT year, I need to work hard. I didn't get bad results in my OWLs but I need to work more on my essays and homework because I am not doing so well coping with work and quidditch. Oh I am quidditch captain this year. She looked quite angry while talking to her friend. I turned to Fred.

'Hi Fred, I have to be tutored.'

'Seriously, By who.'

'You see the girl at the Ravenclaw table with the red hair?' He nodded 'Her.'

'Oh, well, at least she hot.'

'Hey, shes my tutor, don't put that image in my head.' I hit him on the arm. Then I started looking at her properly. Her red hair clashes well with her sparkling silver blue eyes, her pale heart shaped face looks delicate, fragile and has a few freckles dusted over the bridge of her nose and cheekbones. Her lips are a deep pink and aren't too full or thin, she is around 5/6 inches shorter than my 6'1 frame, her body is hidden with her uniform. She is really gorgeous, I can't believe I never noticed her before...WHAT!!! GOD DAMN YOU FRED!!!

'I have just checked out my tutor Fred, thank you very much.' I then stood up and struggled to walk out of the great hall without looking back at her.
