Unseparateable

Chapter One: The offer

Lily's POV

I was just leaving the Charms classroom Friday, when Professor Flitwick called me back in because he wanted a private word.

I turned around and smiled, "Yes, Professor?" I asked.

"Oh Lily." He sighed. "You'll be gone next year and I was wondering if my most talented student would do me a big favor before she leaves."

I smiled wider, always looking for a chance to prove myself worthy of the name witch.

"You see," He continued. "There are some younger students who need help in charms to pass their exams this year and I would like to have you help them out this Friday." He looked hopefully up at me.

"Oh of course I'll do it!" I answered.

Professor Flitwick smiled at me and said, "Thank you Lily, I knew I could count on you. And don't worry, I'll get another student to help you with the tutoring so you won't have to do everything alone."

"No problem." I grinned and left for my next class.

James's POV

I crept along the hall, back towards Griffindor tower. Sirius looked excitedly at me and I smirked, agreeing silently with him; the Slytherins were in for a nasty surprise.

We were just heading down the charms corridor when a voice behind us cried, "James!".

I froze and turned around to see Professor Flitwick looking at me strangely, as if he was wondering if I could do something.

I gulped and smiled at him. "Hello professor! What brings you down here to erm... Your corridor?" I finished lamely.

"I was just wondering if I could have a word with you." He said, looking at me like that again.

"Sure... Hehe I'll see ya back in the common room Pads." I answered, and followed Flitwick into his office.

I was sure I'd been caught. But then why didn't Sirius get in trouble too? My palms were sweating, Flitwick gave out mean punishments.

To my surprise, the small charms teacher smiled at me and motioned for me to sit opposite him. I did so and he began.

"So James," that's was one thing about Flitwick, he called everyone by their first names.

"Look sir, I can explain-" I began.

"Explain what James?" He asked.

"Well aren't in trouble for something?"

He laughed. "Oh no James. I actually wanted to ask if you could do me a favor."

I looked up at him and saw that he was telling the truth. "Sure."

"Could you maybe help some younger students with charms? They're struggling to pass and I told them I'd get them some older students to help them with some more difficult charms." He looked up hopefully at me.

"Oh yeah. Sure." I agreed and he told me to meet another seventh year at the library on Friday.

Lily's POV

The next few days were uneventful, except for that time when Potter tried to get us locked in a secret passageway together when we were doing our rounds. Filch wanted to murder us but I got us out of punishment by telling him that we had caught some Slytherins in the corridor and had just sent them back to their common room.

But that's not important. Tomorrow was Friday and I planned to give those kids the best tutoring session ever. They would all get Outstanding on their exams.

James's POV

Grrr I don't even know why I accepted that dumb offer. I don't want to waste my afternoon teaching little kids how to levitate a feather. Ugh.

I went to the Great Hall and didn't eat much. I was waiting for Lily to come to dinner. Maybe she'd say yes today...

"Oi, James!" Sirius yelled at me.

"Oh what?" I answered. "Yeah you are..."

I had no idea what I was talking about.

"Dreaming 'bout Evans again?" Remus asked.

"Hmmm..." I answered.

Sirius smirked. "Yeah. He is."

"So," squeaked Peter, "Are you really gonna go to that dumb tutoring session?" He grimaced.

"I promised Flitwick." I answered, snapping out of my trance. "And who knows, I might run into Lily on the way..." And the dreamy look returned.

A/N: Hey people. I know I'm supposed to be working on POA but I got stuck and Lois Lowry once told me (thru an email... Its kool) that when she writes, its better to work on a few stories at once because it helps you keep busy which keeps you from writers block. So anyway... Have a nice life and I'll try to finish this fanfic soon!! (its gonna be short) ByeBye!
