Choices

Choice twenty two: James

Professor McGonagall.

After checking through the pamphlets that have been sent to me and checking my OWL results several times I have decided on which subjects I wish to take for NEWT levels.

Isn't life surprising? Who would honestly thought that I would be sitting here picking subjects to take for my NEWTS? That means only two more years in Hogwarts to wind up other students and make the professors lives miserable.

I don't really mean that its just I'm a strong believer that you can't be a child forever and once I finish Hogwarts I will be a man, an adult and then I'll have to be serious and take care of myself, so its best to get these things out of my system early.

Although time is flying by I can see my life passing before my eyes already and what with the war the good times are soon going. But I'm still a kid and good times are still to come for me, I can feel it. The fact I passed all my OWLs is a good sign I can take anything I want. Oh so on with my letter.

I'm sure that you will be thrilled to hear that I wish to take Transfiguration so that's another two years together.

I can just see her face reading this now, its no secret that I'm not her favourite student. Okay I'm good at transfiguration I am anAnimagi but she doesn't know that. It's the fact that Sirius and I like to flick bits of paper around the room that gets her.

Oh and the way that we convinced everyone to stand on their chairs and not sit on them when she came in, that was fun. Then there was the morning where we turned all the tables and chairs to face that back of the classroom, it's always fun to wind Minnie up!

I also wish to continue with Charms

Flitwick is going to love that; I'm behaved in his class. All right it is because I find it a bit on the tough side so need to pay attention more. Although he's all right with us having a laugh he quite enjoyed the time I put the silencing charm on Sirius for the entire lesson.

Then there was the lesson where I created snow and kept throwing it across the room until we had a massive snowball fight. He's a good teacher that's great for a laugh I'm sure I'll love carrying that on. Oh must finish letter.

and Care of Magical Creatures.

This is going to be good. Kettleburn hates me, I mean hates I think it's the fact I let all the Thestrals out of their pen and it took days to find them since only those who have witnessed death can see them. I had so much fun with that, but it's a filler subject and I'm determined to pass it.

I also wish to continue with Defence Against the Dark Arts since it is such an important subject especially at this time.

I always hated that subject it was Remus' one but its important now because we're at war and we need to know how to protect ourselves. Then there's also the fact that I want to be an Auror and I can't well do that without this subject can I.

Lastly although it kills me to list it I will be taking potions that is if the Professor Cartwright doesn't keel over at the news.

I hate potions so much and it's not even as if I'm bad at the subject really. The thing is the professor is a bit well mean she hates me. I think it's because Sirius and I spread a rumour that she was close to sixty, but she only looks twenty-six.

She's gorgeous and all the guys fancy her and she's really biased against the girls, which makes for fun lessons and I'm sure she was checking me out at the end of last term. The rumour is that she finds a seventh year and seduces him each year.

I wouldn't mind being seduced by her really because she's fit it's just the fact that she isn't very discreet about it, she's really obvious when she wants you and I won't be used.

I believe that the choices will do for the next coming year and that I shouldn't have problems taking them.

James Potter

I should have written looking forward to seeing you, but last time I did that she made a point to take points off me at the start of the year, you'd think that she didn't realise I love being there and seeing them all because it's the best place to be.

Well that's my subject choices out of the way now to write Sirius and compare. I'm happy with my choices and I'm already looking forward to starting them.

Okay so this chapter was up sooner than normal, but this chapter was ready.

Annie yeah most jobs must need DADA but I didn't want them all to have the same lessons, and plus at this time the war is only just taking shape so DADA isn't as important, but still is so, but Lily decided on the others ones to be more important.

Karen I'm so glad you reviewed because I couldn't find you on this place and now a direct link. You've already read this one but I hope you like it.

So more probably next week
