"Evans, you're late!" barked Ima M Oron as Lily entered the room.
Lily glanced at her watch, looked up and frowned, "I'm not-"
"Silence!" screeched the pug-faced inspector, "Don't argue with me, or I'll have you out faster then you can say 'Expelliarmus'!"
"Yes, Ma'am" Lily answered grimly.
"Now," continued the tyrant calmly, "I have a new assignment for you, I want you to write an article on Quidditch World Cup, and to help you, I have gotten one of the best amateur Quidditch player in your generation. He will probably be here soon, because unlike SOME, he is always prompt."
Lily's temper flared up, "Ma'am, I am competent enough to write a good article on Quidditch by myself, and I have played enough Quidditch to write the article with confidence."
"Evans, I don't want a GOOD article, I want an EXCEPTIONAL article, I'm tired of your lack of ambition and I want results NOW!" Ms Oron thundered.
"Exactly, Evans" broke in a voice, and the owner of the voice stepped into the room.
"J-James Potter!" Lily started
"At your service, how's it going, Evans? Long time since I last saw you. You were planning to overthrow this department back then, weren't you?" he replied with a mischievous grin.
Ms Oron stared beadily at Lily, then turned to James, "Mr. Potter, I'm so glad you could come, this department really needs the help of an expert." she gushed.
Lily recovered herself, "What's he doing here?"
Oron blinked at her, "Well, he's your partner to help you with this article."
"What?" Lily reeled with the shock, "h-him? Meaning no disrespect, Ma'am, I can't work with him!"
"Why ever not?"
"Well Ma'am, me and James Potter have a complicated history which comes from our school years" Lily explained while glaring at James, "and I feel that it would endanger the article if we both worked on it."
"Nonsense" The hypocrite replied sweetly, "James is the best choice for you to work with, and he will be an admirable help to you." She turned to him.
"Thank you for your confidence, Ms Oron, I hope I'll be able to meet your expectations of me." his grin grew wider.
"Please, call me Ima" she batted her eyelashes at him, "I'm sure you'll better my expectations of you."
"I'll do my best.Ima"
"I'm sure you will, good luck James." she simpered and then added as an afterthought, ".and Evans."
Lily stared at this scene with revulsion, 'she fancies him and he still butter ups the cow.' she thought furiously.
'Ima' waltzed out of the room, with many lingering glances at James.
Lily turned her back on the exited door and sighed, "Old Hag" she muttered.
"Did you say something, Evans?" enquired James
"Yes. you disgust me!" with this, she brushed past James and stomped, livid, out of the door.
