His Favorite Flower

by oh-my-marauder

When Sirius and James are given mentors to try and correct their behavior first year, it's basically the end of the world. James has no clue what to expect from his mentor. He doesn't even know her! Who the hell is Violet Hammel? Could something blossom between them over the years? What about Lily? Who will be his favorite flower? AU. Marauders Era. JP/OC, some JP/LE and OC/OC

1. Mentors?

A/N: Hey, you guys! Sorry it's been a while since I wrote an honest-to-goodness fanfiction. You may remember me as "TheStillDoll" or "Sweet-Slytherin-Princess". I decided to revamp my Fanfiction page, seeing as my main fandom is Harry Potter. I'm currently writing this fanfiction based off an RP ship I created with my OC Violet Hammel. I'll have links to her blogs up soon, but for now I'll give you a basic run-down of her. Her FC (face character/face claim/whatever you prefer) is Talulah Riley, and James' FC is Aaron Johnson. I really liked how they mixed well on Nearly Famous, and also Talulah's personality and attitude reflects Violet's exactly how I see it. But yeah, here we go! Review and Favorite, pretty please. I'd love your criticism, so long as it is constructive. c:

James rolled his eyes and nudged Sirius in the seat beside him. He nodded his head in the direction of Minerva McGonagall, who seemed to have a constant expression of "I do not have time for these silly shenanigans." Sirius and James both simultaneously presented big, innocent grins at the witch.
"Hello, Minnie. How are you on this fine evening?" Sirius asked in an all-too-polite and light tone. James chipped in with a frighteningly similar tone of voice,

"Did you miss us terribly?"

Minerva inhaled deeply to avoid snapping at them. It was 2:13 am, and she, quite frankly, was tired of these first years' pranks. They had a new prank almost every week, and if she had to spend another detention with the two of them, something would explode.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, this has been your fifteenth prank this year, and it is only November 2nd." she informed them.

"Well, technically, it's November 3rd, see-"

"I know what day it is, Mr. Potter," Minerva interrupted sharply."Seeing as you two cannot fathom the concept of proper behavior, Headmaster Dumbledore and I have decided that it'd be appropriate for you two to receive mentors from the year above."

The two first years groaned simultaneously. Sirius folded his hands over his eyes and dropped his head on the table. James' head lolled back in dread.

"Mentors?!" Sirius repeated, peeking out from between his fingers.

"Yes, mentors." Minerva confirmed. The look of horror on the boys' faces seemed to satisfy her. She reached into her robe pocket, and presented them with two slips of parchment paper. "It was obviously difficult to find volunteers, so you'll have to put up with whoever you are given. And If I hear a single complaint from either of your mentors, you will both be scrubbing bedpans from the Hospital Wing for the rest of your first year."

James and Sirius took their parchment slips, inspecting the names written in Minerva's neat and clear handwriting.

"Sweet! I've got Frank Longbottom." Sirius grinned, approving of his mentor. He knew Frank would go easy on him. James' eyebrows furrowed at the name written on his parchment piece.

"Who the hell is Violet Hammel?"
