-Copying
Lupin shook his head, a sigh escaping his lips. James and Sirius had, once again, neglected to complete their Potions homework. "Oh come on, Moony, we'll do it ourselves next time I swear!"James promised, noting Sirius' sceptical look. Of course they'd copy off him anyway, but Sirius had to be the one to point this fact out "He's speaking for himself there, moony; I'll borrow yours next time too!" Sirius said honestly, shrugging his shoulders. James shot him a look, and Sirius quickly amended his response. "I mean, yeah, do it myself!" He said, a look of uncertainty crossing his face. He had absolutely no intention of doing any homework for himself, and no doubt he and James would be convincing Lupin to let them copy the next time homework was due in!
Lupin had however anticipated that they would like to copy him, and so to teach them a lesson he had decided to do the homework deliberately wrong, so they would never copy him again! He handed them his homework, a smug smile on his face. Then the next morning, all the homework was collected in and sitting nicely on the desk of the professor. What Sirius and James didn't know was that Lupin couldn't stand having a bad mark on his record, and so he had stayed up in the night to complete it correctly. He had then handed in the correct homework with the wrong one's that James had Sirius had done. When they got their marks back a week later, James and Sirius were obviously stunned that they had failed while Lupin passed with flying colours. "Hey, that's not right, how come Remus got it right and we failed? I mean we co-" But Sirius was cut off by an elbow to the stomach, so that he couldn't yell that they'd copied.
"Shut it Pads, do you want a detention?" James whispered, his eyes wandering over to Lily who looked thoroughly pleased with her mark. "Hey, Evans, how about you give me some…private tutoring?" He said loudly, winking at her when he saw her eyes glare at him across the room. He chuckled to himself. "Oh, yeah, she wants me!" He said smugly, a smile on his face. Pads laughed at the expression on both James and Lily's faces. "Yeah, she wants you, hung upside down!" He chuckled, loving the opportunity to tease his friend. "Well, whatever position she likes is good for me!" James said, laughing with Sirius. After they left the classroom, Lupin reminded the duo that they had a defence essay due tomorrow. "Oh, could I borrow yours, Loop?" Both James and Sirius said in sync. Lupin shook his head. "Won't you ever learn? You shouldn't be copying!" Lupin said, exasperated.
