Chapter 8….. Classes and Spells Don't Mix After All...

Potions were clearly James' and Sirius' least favorite class, Sirius thought there were no use for it, "Nothing a good spell wouldn't fix!" as he would say. James was horrible at potions actually, the only class he usually didn't receive excellent marks in. Transfiguration was his strongest point where as Sirius did well in Defense against the Dark Arts, and Remus always had an interest in Care of Magical Creatures. The first day of classes was always exceptionally boring writing notes and such but leave it up to Professor Lestrange to make them stir up a potion the first class of the day.

"Today we will be mixing a potion that often comes up at N.E.W.T Level: the Polyjuice potion, properly brewed, the Polyjuice Potion allows the drinker to transform their self temporarily into the physical form of another. This potion is very difficult, but only the best for my N.E.W.T class." He grinned.

"Of course when the potion should be done, nobody will be transforming into anyone Professor Dumbledore has noted to me he would aid me testing the potions."

Sirius' and James' smiles turned to frowns.

"The ingredients and method are on the blackboard, you shall find everything you need in the store cupboard, you have one hour, begin."

Everyone started heating their cauldron and walking over to the store cupboard to get the first ingredients, other than Head Boy and playboy of the school. They just stared at each other with confused looks then at the blackboard and at each other again.

"Er… Whose idea was it again to be Auror's?" James asked stepping out behind their table.

"I think it was yours mate, we will never get this right, I mean it takes a month to mature!"

"I know, but don't worry we can do it, we are the smartest blokes in the school after all." James said suddenly sounding very confident.

"True mate, at least we aren't like Snivellus and know everything there is to Potions."

"Or is like his whole family that follows that dark wizard, Voldemont."

"Whoo look at me I'm a huge dark wizard that has all kinds of supporters, bloody stupid." Sirius said waving his arms wildly in the air.

It would have gave Sirius and James a lot of pleasure if they knew Severus was listening to every word, evil ideas and thoughts running were through his mind of what to do to the boys talking about his family.

"Well let's get started on this."

"I'll get the first ingredients from the cupboard, and you heat the cauldron."

"Aye aye matey."

"Sirius, sometimes I wish we were pirates."

"Captain… Whatever ye be talking about, we be pirates of Hogwarts!"

James just rolled his eyes playfully, and walked until he stood behind his classmates in front of the cupboard, each taking out cup by cup of interesting ingredients that would be added into the potion. He wasn't aware of Severus behind him, breathing hotly down his neck. But as soon as James got his hands on the first addition to the potion he saw a hand swap it out of his, he didn't have time to act until it fell to the floor and smashed.

"Oh… Potter, you should really watch what your doing." He said with a grin, taking his own into his arms.

"You'll regret that Snivellus." James said hotly while drawing his wand out of inside cloak pocket.

As soon as Severus back was turned walking towards his desk, it became very quiet.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

The jet of light hit him squarely on the back, the laughter died from his face as his eyes widened in shock, he fell straight forward, his items shattering all over the floor, as his face hit his desk as it over turned along with the cauldron flying in the air and landing on a nearby students head.

James stood with pride and happiness on his face, where as Sirius looked overcome with emotion.

"JAMES POTTER!" The fun was over now, Professor Lestrange saw of what happened and quickly muttered the counter curse and gently asked Luscious Mafloy to clean up his partners mess and help her daughter Bellatrix get the cauldron off her head.

"Yes Professor Lestrange?" James said.

"What a perfect example of how Head Boy acts! But you are a Gryffindor after all, always wanting attention." She said with a snotty tone in her voice. "Take your seat potter, and I better not see you out of it, 30 points from Gryffindor."

"Small price to pay to see such a beautiful sight, good job Prongs." Sirius had said as soon as James taken his seat beside him.

But James wasn't in a celebrating mood, not since Professor Lestrange said what she did about how Head Boy is suppose to act, he really messed up with time with Lily. He couldn't believe he let his anger get away with him he was the one to stop these type of things from happening! He just laid down his head, took one good hit on the desk with his fist… and sighed.

"Mate, don't worry about the points we can…"

"Sirius!" he shouted, but then realized he surely didn't want to be shouting at his best friend. "It's not the house points." He said with a calmer tone.

"Lily then,"

"Yes, she didn't want me to mess up, I think she was actually giving me a chance, and I had to go and mess it up, she will never look at me again, I let her down."

"She should understand you, I mean she don't let people walk all over her! But come now mate, let's try and work."

As soon as Sirius let the words drift from his lips, he turned his head straight with huge eyes and muttered.

"Did I just say that?"

"You did," James said with his face still lying on the table.

"I think I need the hospital wing."
