A/N: Some announcements from Dumbledore and stuff. And before anyone says that Dumbledore wasn't teaching, he was, it says he was the headmaster in the third book, lol. And I don't care if P. McGonagall is teaching or not, lol. I am going to have her be.
Disclaimer: JKR owns everything cept a few names I made up. I really have to change that . . .
The next morning at breakfast Alex saw the Marauders deep in discussion and pointed it out to Lily. She became worried over this, they weren't seriously going to take this on?
Dumbledore, who had an announcement, interrupted her thoughts.
"As we do every year, there will be a Christmas dance for third year and up. If you are in first or second year, you may only go if someone asks you. It will be on Christmas Eve over holidays. And speaking of Holidays, there will be a list to sign up to stay here over holidays in your common room." At this announcement there was some talking about who would ask who. But Dumbledore continued. "Also there will be Quidditch tryouts for third years and up, that will be on the Afternoon of Friday the 17th. If you would like to try out, you will skip the last class of that day. And you have to want to be on the team, no skipping just to skip that class." Here he looked at James and Sirius, Sirius in particular, as James was already on the Quidditch Team.
"Ooh, I am going to try out for the Quidditch Team!" Alex announced immediately.
"Even if I wanted to do Quidditch, I wouldn't try out, as Goth is already on it. Who would want to be on a team with Goth?" Lily asked, as if that were the most repulsive thing in the world.
"I don't care, I am going to try out anyway," Alex said stoutly. "And I don't care if he IS on it."
"Alex, you don't like James, do you?" Courtney asked her.
"Of Course not!" Alex said, even though she was blushing and obviously lying.
"Ooh, someone likes James!" Courtney said.
"I do not!" Alex protested. Courtney started laughing.
"Who are you going to go with, Lily?" Alex asked, obviously trying to get off the topic.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe Remus," She said.
"Miss Evans?" It was Professor McGonnagall.
"Yes Professor?" Lily answered.
"May I see you in my office?"
"Ok, sure. Be right back everyone," Lily said to Alex and Courtney.
Lily got up to follow the Professor to her office, but was lead instead to where James Potter was sitting.
"Mr. Potter, I need to speak to you in my office as well," the Professor said. James didn't seem surprised, as he and the other three were always in trouble.
"Coming," he said, and also followed her.
"Is Carrot Girl in Trouble? That's a first," James said.
"Me? In trouble? Never. Its you, and I have no clue as to why I have to follow you, Goth."
"Carrot Girl."
"Goth."
"Carrot Girl.
"This is gonna get really old really fast, Goth."
"That's because there is nothing better to do than tease you," James said
Before Lily could say anything, they were in the Professors office. James sat down like he might do at home, he had been here so many times. Lily sat down respectfully and shot a look at James.
"Now, as the Head of your houses, I feel the responsibility to tell you this. Lily, you are not doing as well as you normally do in Trasnfiguration, and James, you are failing Charms. So, I have talked with Professor Dumbledore, and he and I have decided that you will tutor each other in these classes."
Lily and James shot each other horrified looks. Lily completely discarded the fact that she wasn't doing well in a class because of the awfulness of having to work with James. They were worst enemies, surely the teachers must have noticed that?
Lily decided to point that out. "Umm, Professor? Surely you know that we absolutely hate each other?"
"Yes, Miss. Evans. That may have had something to do with The Headmaster's Decision. Now, the schedule will be like this. There is an empty classroom on the fourth floor, and you will use that Mondays through Thursdays. On Mondays and Wednesdays, Lily will teach you Charms, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays James will teach you Transfiguration. The sessions will start next Monday, and you will be there no later that 7:00. Is this clear?"
The both nodded.
"Good. You are excused to breakfast now."
"You, why couldn't you have at least put a small effort in Charms? It's not that hard, and then I wouldn't have had to work with you."
"Well, Carrot Girl, I think they would have teamed us up in the next big project even if we were both the top of the class."
"So? Better later then now, and with . . ." Lily cut herself off. She was going to finish with "the dance coming," but then she might say something about Alex.
"With what, Carrot Girl? Hmmm?" He asked her.
"With . . . Holidays, and other things," She said. "And stop with Carrot Girl, Goth."
"Only if you stop with Goth."
"Never!"
"Ok then, Carrot Girl. See you next Monday." By this time they had reached the great Hall.
"Ahh! Fine!" Lily said, and missed the smile James shot as her as she left for her seat with her friends.
"That . . . rrr!" Lily said, at a loss for words.
"What was that about? I saw you and James walking off with McGonnagall," Courtney said.
"Yes, we were. And now we have to tutor each other Mondays through Thrusdays! Every night I have to spend with him!"
"Lucky!" Alex said.
"No! I hate him! Ahhh!" Lily was angry.
"I am sure you don't mind that much, Lily," Courtney said slyly.
"What are you trying to imply, Courtney Dever? That I like . . . I do not!" Lily said, as Courtney nodded, with a smile on her face. "He is my worst enemy!"
"Yes, we know that, Lily," Courtney said in a voice that clearly meant the opposite.
"I don't!"
"Time for Defense against the Dark arts, Come on everyone!" Sandy said, and Lily gratefully followed her out of the great Hall.
A/N: About Peter and Sandy. I don't like them too much, So I am trying to avoid writing about them. The only reason Sandy is there is so she can generally move some parts of the plot around, and also, well, you'll see. Please Review!
