Good evening all!
I would like to say thank you for all your positive reveiws!
I would also like to apologise for my spelling's especially of the word Damn or 'dam' as many of you have picked up on.
I apreciate it must be annoying for all of you, but i seriously cannot help it, it's the way it is corrected in my word program for some reason- I have attempted to change it but for some reason I can't. Sorry!
Anyway I would like to state that this is an R rated ficcy and not in this chapter but the next one and maybe some of the ones to follow will be more graphic and sexually explicit. Sorry if you are offended by this. I would just like to warn you a chapter in advance if you want to stop reading.
Also, I would like to say sorry to sasha- I know I said you could read this first, but I want to post it now (as I am impatient).
But I would like to dedicate this ficcy to Sasha as she has helped me in so many of my ficcies and especially this one, she helped me with the name and she is a brilliant writer herself! Thank you!
Sorry for the length of this note. I have alot to say!
Hope you enjoy James' little revenge!
Luv ya

Turning the tables
James had decided that he was loosing a battle which he should be by all means winning. Lily Evans was playing with fire and it was about time she got burnt.
"Miss Evans." James started. "Please take your book out and join the rest of the class."
"Why should I? It's not as though I need it." She replied.
"Miss Evans if you insist on acting like a child I shall treat you like one. Detention tonight after class."
"WHAT?" Lily screeched in disbelief. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"
"Mr Shackleboat, you detention also. If Miss Evans will not be quiet and obey her teacher then I'm afraid there is no alternative then to punish you all." Lily looked around at the glares she was receiving. James was going to turn the class against her.
"No, fine I will obey." Lily said taking her book out.
"Good. Mr Shackleboat don't worry about detention, I take it back." Lily sighed in relief- that was a low blow.
The rest of the class was just as tough on her. Whenever she didn't have her hand up for a question she was picked on. Whenever she did have her hand up she was ignored. By the end of the day she was more then pissed off. James however was feeling very pleased with himself indeed. He was outwitting her. Playing her at her own game.
When the class was dismissed, Lily got up to leave also.
"Huh huh hem." James coughed." Are you forgetting your detention Miss Evans?" James smirked.
"You were serious about that?" She shot back.
"Of course I was! How would it look to the rest of the class if I were to let you walk all over me?"
"The same as it did at Hogwarts when you and your mates did the same to your teachers."
"So that's what this is all about? I mistreated you once about 4 years ago and you still have a grudge?"
"Actually no. I'm fed up of people treating me differently because I am young, female, Muggleborn... you name it."
"And how have I treated you differently from anyone else?" Lily faltered. James really hadn't she had been the one to step away from the crowd. "You were the one who wanted to be treated different."
"Sir I wish to change class." She said stubbornly.
"Wish denied." James replied. Her eyes narrowed and she scrunched her face up angrily. James couldn't help but think it looked quite cute.
"You can't deny it!" She exclaimed infuriated.
"You're right I can't." He smirked. "However the head can Miss Evans. When you started I realised you were different from any healer I have ever met. You are so confident and self-assured. You work hard and it seems you always achieve what you want and for that I respect you." Lily was taken back a bit from that statement. "In your first week I saw great potential and I went to the head to ask if you could take a more advanced class. Unfortunately this was the only one running. However he asked me to watch over you, to monitor your progress. When you were ready he wanted me to tutor you and show you more complex healing. Miss Evans I believe you are ready."
"Really?" She asked. This had to be the first answer she had ever given him, which was neither witty nor sarcastic.
"Miss Evans this was never a detention." James said. He had noticed how her eyes lit up, that she looked excited and scared in one. For an hour they sat discussing advanced healing, what they believed it to be. For once Lily was interacting with her teacher and learning and in turn James was also learning. As they worked together as equals neither party was bruising their pride.
The next day in class was an entirely different story.
Lily walked in head held high, sat at her assigned seat and took as per usual no book out. James walked in five minutes later and with out even looking said;
"Book Miss Evans." Lily was about to answer but James cut her off. "Deten..."
"Ok I have it!" She said. James smiled satisfied. "But sir do you not feel we should be studying creature wounds by now?" She asked sweetly.
"May I remind you miss Evans whom the professor is." James snapped. "We are not due to start that topic until next month.." Lily folded her arms. "But thank you Miss Evans for volunteering yourself as today's model. Lily sighed as James charmed her to look like a wounded patient.
That lesson Lily earned herself another "detention". As she did the next day and the next day. But in each detention she enhanced her skills. She became a more aware and skilled as a healer. And in this new found form of study, her and James ALMOST got on. But the second their extra session was over things returned to normal. It wasn't until a stormy February morning that this relationship would change.
Lily had spent the night at her on/ off boyfriend, Alex Bagnold's house. She and Alex hadn't done anything improper- he was after all the minister's son. Lily had been kind of seeing him since she had landed on him at the ministry. She had never been very good with floo powder and he had been standing at the grate, which she had returned home from her travels by. It had ended in the pretty red head being invited for coffee and ever since they had been on quite a few dates. Lily wasn't too interested. She liked him, but couldn't see him as the one.
She apperated from his house to her own that morning. Looking out at the black sky, which was waiting to burst, she could tell that something big was going to happen. She gathered her books and got to class. Unfortunately when she entered she realised everyone was already seated.
"Miss Evans you're late." James Potter glared. "Detention."
There was a sudden flash eluminating the room and the heavens outside opened. The storm had begun.
"As I was saying..." James continued his lecture over the loud claps of thunder. Lily wasn't paying much attention. She was watching the rain. Somehow it made her feel dreery and dull. She had a bad feeling, a really bad feeling.
She was brought back to reality not by the professor, who had for some reason not picked on her the whole lesson- maybe he had this feeling also? But by a burning on her middle finger of her right hand. She looked down at the pretty emerald it held.
"SOS" flashed briefly in the stone. This ring had been given to her for a reason. It told her when the Order of the Phoenix was to meet up. It seemed there was an emergency. Lily looked up to see James clutching his hand. With a brief look of understanding between them James addressed his class.
"Class we're finishing early today, as... erm... tomorrow I want to do a late study- we will be looking into night time injuries. Class dismissed."
Lily breathed a sigh of relief as the class left. She turned to speak to James but the head entered instead.
"Mr Potter, what is the meaning of letting your class out early?" He asked and James retold the lie that he had fed the class. It seemed to work.
"... and Miss Evans is here for her advanced learning." He finished.
"Ahh Good. Keep it up." The head said merrily as he left.
With just an urgent glance at one an other Lily and James apperated to the Orders head quarters.
Something big was going to happen!
Ps please don't forget to reveiw!
