"Potter, Black, I expect the both of you here promptly after dinner every
day for tutoring. You'll go over each and every single charm I've taught
you since first year. And don't get shirty with me, Potter, your Charms
grades as of late are abysmal, so scrap it together before the end of the
first term?" Professor Flitwick bowed them out of his room, himself,
hopping off of his books to get to the Great Hall for dinner.
James and Sirius stared at each other for a moment, as if to let it all sink in. "Tutoring?" James muttered, after a long spell of silence. "Bloody hell. You know if Gemma hears this she's going t have a fit" He groaned as they walked to the Great Hall.
"Of laughter, mate?" Sirius grinned. "Come on, it can't be that bad. Though.unfortunately I know Snivellus won't be our tutor, and I've just mastered the Abundant Acne Hex."
"I can do that too, Padfoot." James replied, sitting next to Remus empty spot.
Sirius grinned at him as he sat next to Peter. "Still elementary, are we James? The hex reaches parts of the body that aren't normally seen by the public, perhaps, by no one except Snivellus' mum, when he was a baby."
"Boys, can't help but overhear" a cool female voice spoke from James's side, "a plot?" A chicken drumstick levitated through the air and into the open palm of a dark haired, blue eyed witch.
"Gemma," James grinned, ruffling his untidy hair as he turned to her, "you know us all too well. Why do you even ask?"
Gemma thought about this for a moment. "True. I did just waste my breath didn't I? Nonetheless, it had to be asked." She returned to her food and an intense conversation on Ancient Runes with the ginger-haired Lily Evans. And after a few moments of leaving the boys alone, she looked at them and grinned. "Lovely dinner boys, but Lily and I have got to go. Something about tutoring for Charms."
James glared at Sirius. "You know we're only going to.never hear the END OF IT!"

"Mr. Potter I've partnered you with Ms. Swenson, Mr. Black you're with Ms. Evans." Professor Flitwick said, from atop his usual stack of books. "I'll be in my office if you need me."
Gemma stared at James a grin tugging at her lips. "You know, if your father hears this."
"Can we just get started on the Charms, Gemma?" James muttered.
As they reviewed the charms, James had to admit that Gemma was doing a good job. And he'd improved in the ten minutes that they'd gone over first year's charms. They were laughing a little more than they should've, especially for Sirius' liking. He was advancing though not as quickly as they were, although Lily was the better Charms witch.
Two hours later and the four were headed to their common room. James and Gemma running like mad hippogriffs. "Are they always like that?" Asked Lily, surprising Sirius.
"What? You mean mad? Or touchy-feely?" Sirius asked. "Oh, both. Well, you know, they've been best mates longer than I've been mates with James. Comes with the territory I suppose. They went out third year, James broke it off though, got too weird for him. And Gems has moved on, to several people since then."
"Amos Diggory. Henry Wood." Lily added. "She fancies someone now, but she refuses to tell me." She said as she turned to Sirius. Her eyebrows perked up considerably and as they entered the Gryffindor common room, she immediately plucked Gemma off James and ran up to their dorm.
"What was that all about?" James asked, as Sirius sat opposite from him, in front of the fire.
"Oh you know, the usual, girl talk." Sirius answered. "Lily's told me that Gemma fancies someone new."
"She would've told me." James answered with an air of superiority. "In any case, what time is it?"
"Close to midnight." Sirius grinned. "And it's a full moon."
With an amazing speed the two were gone and stalked off towards the Whomping Willow for another one of their adventures.
