From Class- To Forbiddens- To Detention

Sector one; Get a Grade

Professor McGonagall walked into Class, unusually late, but with a smile on her face,
immediately, the five friends - Remus, Sirius, James, Peter and Lily- knew SOMETHING
bad was going to happen.
"I," the professor announced, " have your tests back, and not to many of you did
too well!" The class groaned as she passed back their rice grain-sunflower test results.
"Because of your scores- the average a very generous C- I have decided to let
you do an oral report in PAIRS for thirty-eight points extra credit and one point to your
house." Professor McGonagall finished firmly.
The groaning slowly subsided as the students began to whisper about who their
partner was going to be and what the topic would be. The Professor actually allowed this
to go on for a couple of minutes before silencing them to state the rules.
" No one with an 'A-' or higher will be allowed to do this make up. There is free
topic- as long as it is APPROPRIATE!"
James and Sirius, who had been grinning at each other this whole time, suddenly
stopped smiling, Sirius had gotten a 'B', but James had a solid 'A'. In fact, Lily and Peter
had also gotten 'A's, though it was a mystery how Peter did.
Sirius looked at Remus, who looked ready to kill himself and was seemingly having a
small conniption fit, as his eyebrows and arms were violently twitching.
Sirius- having finally gotten a look at his paper- smiled. Remus had a 'B-' just
slightly lower than Sirius. Sirius, beamingly mouthed the words 'Do you wanna be
partners?' Remus shot him a dark look and continued berating himself- a Straight-A
student got a 'B-'!
As the walked to their next class, Sirius caught up with Remus. " So, do you
wanna be partners?"
Remus grumbled a dark reply that sounded something like "Whatever"- and a
word I won't repeat.
"Great!" Sirius replied bouncily, "what'll we do it on? Werewolves? We won't have to do any
research" He grinned,
and managed to avoid Remus' murderous glare, but not his extremely painful double-
handed slap!
"Sheesh!" Sirius muttered darkly, "that was my better looking cheek too! The one
without the Quidditch scar!"
Lily, James and Peter who had been watching them converse, walked along,
grinning widely, and occasionally giggling or laughing quietly to them self.

Back in the Gryffindor common room, the five friends started to do their
homework, Remus and Sirius having the most because of the report. They had decided to
do it on acromantulas-giant black spiders-and were now pouring over books-well at least
Remus was- sponging out all the possible useful information.
"I really with that you would HELP ME with this instead of letting off those
stupid firecrackers!" Remus barked, obviously annoyed.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Okay!" Sirius replied, taking a huge bite of a cookie he stole
from the kitchen on his way back to the common room. "Wassamat'r"- he swallowed "
"Is that grade getting to you? Or are you just tired?"
Remus didn't answer, but instead buried his nose deeper in the book and refused
to hear anyone.
"Touchy!" Sirius complained.

stuff and all J.K.Rowlings as is the basic story, otherwise, its mine.
