Chapter 3

"I can't believe we have transfiguration again today. I mean we have it twice in a row!" Complained Lily. She, Alex, and their other friends Gwen, Maddy, and Shayla walked into the room. Lily had told her friends what had happened and they were all sympathetic. She dragged her feet into Transfiguration, and then went to 'their' table.

"I mean, why is it that the subject I hate the most is the one we have the most? Why can't we have double Potions!?"

"Lily, we DO have double potions, right after lunch." Said Gwen in her calm voice.

"Oh. Well. Fine." It seemed like Lily was finding the worst in everything, but her friends were trying to fix that by changing the bad into good things.

The doors opened with a bang, and in walked Professor McGonagall. The whole class was quiet, stopping in the middle of whatever conversations they were having.

"Alright, class. Today we will be focusing on Animagus. Oh, and Potter I need you to stay after class. Now, who knows something about Animagus?" With that, McGonagall changed herself into her cat form.

"Oh no!" Thought Lily. She knew what was coming. McGonagall was going to tell Potter that he was to be her tutor in transfiguration. Why Potter though? Out of all the students in Hogwarts why did Potter have to tutor her? It was already bad enough that she had to live with him.

Blah, blah, blah rambled on Professor McGonagall, but Lily wasn't paying attention. All class she worried. When the bell finally rang she watched Potter make his way up to McGonagall's desk.

James on the other hand was wondering why he was in trouble. Had McGonagall somehow found out that it was him and Sirius who had set off the dung bombs in the fourth corridor? He hoped not.

"Potter, it has come to my attention that you are doing extremely well in transfiguration." Said McGonagall. Guess she didn't know. "And it has also come to my attention that Lily Evans is doing quite poorly. She definitely needs some help, a tutor or something. So I think that since you two live together it will be easiest if you do it in your common room."

"Umm…do what exactly, Professor?"

"Tutor her. Every other night, from 6 till 8, you will tutor her in Transfiguration until I see that her grades have improved. You start tonight. Now go on to Charms." "Yes Professor."

James fought to be outwardly calm. But on the inside, he was ready to explode. Lily Evans! LILY EVANS!! He walked slowly out of the classroom, but when he got out of McGonagall's earshot he jumped up in the air, shouting: "YES!!"

Sirius, who had been waiting for James, heard him and ran up to him.

"What? What is sooo exciting?! 'Cause if its exciting, then I want to know so that I can be excited too, ok? So tell me!"

"McGonagall wants me to be a tutor. And…"

Sirius interrupted James. "You think its EXCITING to be a tutor?!" He said with an incredulous look on his face.

"No, no, no, Padfoot. I get to tutor Lily!"

"Lily? Lily Evans?"

"How many other Lilies are there?"

"Well, there's Lily Bell, in fifth, Lily Burgandy, in second…"

"Ok, ok. Yes, Lily Evans. Isn't that GREAT!!" James did a couple more jumps.

"Yeah, that's amazing, Prongs!"

James looked at his watch, and said: "Oh no! Flitwick's gonna KILL us!" And the two best friends ran down the many staircases to Charms.
