Title: My Tutor Friend
(A/N): This is my first story, so I'm not very good yet. But I do not mind if you tell me you don't like it, but please do tell me why :).
Chapter ONE
Tutoring
On a lazy Sunday afternoon, Lily Evans, a young girl in her seventh grade of Hogwarts, sat in an empty classroom.
"So repeat after me. Accio book", Lily sighed "and while you say the spell, point at the wanted object." Lily pointed her wand at the nearest book and murmured the incantation. The book instantly flew towards her and caught it before it hit her in the face.
Lily looked up and realises something. "Hey! Are you two paying attention to what I'm saying?" she shouted to two fourth year boys she was chosen to tutor. Neither of the boys looked up or seemed to have heard what she just said. Their eyes were set on upon something that was under the desk.
Suddenly, Lily heard one of the boys whisper to the other "Hey, we can almost see her underwear!" Lily's eyes widen and her mouth hung open. Rage took over and the next thing she knew, she took both of the boys by the ear and dragged them out of the classroom.
"So you little perverts love to look under girls' skirts, don't you?" she spoke in a dangerous low tone "Well we'll see if you'll get any special rewards for this. McGonagall is probably going to recompense you with a good month filled with detentions." The mention of the word 'detentions' left in utter fright and frustration.
Dragging them by the ears through the hallway, Lily hadn't realised how many people gave her strange looks and whispered to each other as she passed by.
"I hope that you'll have fun cleaning the washroom floors for the next month!" stated Lily sarcastically. The boys cursed under their breath.
The boys were finally able to get their ears out of Lily's reach, but they've already arrived in front of McGonagall's office. Lily pushed the two young boys into the office. They stumbled to the ground and almost hit a desk. The redhead girl started to explain what those two boys were up to while she was tutoring them.
Shocked, professor McGonagall gave them both boys a two weeks worth of detention and assigned them a new tutor, this time, a boy.
"Both of you should be ashamed of yourselves! Such behaviour isn't permitted in this school." yelled McGonagall. It made both boys look at their feet, not being able to look at either Lily or McGonagall.
She told them to leave. And as the door finally closed behind them with a dull 'clack', Lily turned to the older lady and said in exasperated voice "I can't do it anymore! I can't stand any of the students!"
"Ah, but Miss Evans…" the professor started.
Lily cut McGonagall, "Couldn't I just take my name off the list of tutors? I thought tutoring other students would be fun, but it didn't turn out to be quite what I thought it would be."
"You have very impressive grades in a lot of subjects, Miss Evans." declared McGonagall proudly, "You excel in Charms, Potions, Arithmancy and Herbology." which made Lily blush enormously.
Lily thought about it, and her answer was still set on 'no'. As she opened her mouth to say something, McGonagall interrupted her and said, "Miss Evans, I know this task as a tutor might seem hard at times, but the younger students need a role model. And I think you would be perfect for it."
Lily fought the urge to roll her eyes. "Pfffft… it's obvious that most of the other tutors probably already abandoned. She's trying a bit too hard…"
McGonagall watched her closely like as if she was trying to read Lily's mind. The young redhead tried as much as possible to avoid any eye contact, but still felt her, McGonagall, gaze on her.
After quite a long awkward silent moment, Lily sighed and gave in. She was just too tired to argue about it anymore.
"Alright, I am going to give this a try one last time… but after that, if something goes wrong, I'm finished with tutoring" replied Lily firmly.
"Marvellous!"
Professor McGonagall then took out a parchment from her desk. She held it up and her eyes started to scroll down in search of a name. Lily knew it was a list containing all the names of students that needed help.
"If I remember well enough, I seem to recall that you had an Outstanding in Arithmancy. Aren't I right?"
Lily nodded and grinned sheepishly.
McGonagall hesitated for a moment. "Well then, I think we have the perfect student for you to tutor." She finally told Lily.
"Who is it?" asked the young girl curiously.
"Mr. James Potter"

A tall young man with dark messy raven hair and hazel eyes with glasses, stood on the quidditch field, surrounded by five other boys that was the same age as him, James Potter.
The other five boys were wearing green and silver with the Slytherin sign on their cloaks, while James was in red and gold, supporting the Gryffindor sign on his cloak along with the Head Boy badge.
"So Potter, you think you are so great now that you're Head Boy, don't you? But in fact, you are merely nothing without your oh-so-precious friends!" spat one of the boys.
Ever since James became Head Boy, the Slytherins' lives became a tad more difficult. James never thought that he would actually enjoy having to do all the Head Boy work… until he discovered the joy of taking out points. Curiously, the Slytherins hadn't taken it very well.
James smirked and replied calmly, "I don't think that you should talk that way to the Head Boy."
"What is Mr. Head Boy Potter going to do to us? Take off points?" another boy said in a mocking voice. "I'm so scared!" The others snickered.
"You would be surprised of what I can do to you…" James smiled mischievously while his hands are in his pockets, reaching for his wand.
"Oh shut it Potter! Face it. We are five against you."
In the corner of James' eyes, he spotted familiar forms coming toward them. None of the others seem to have noticed anything.
"Where are your friends now, Mr. The Great Potter?"
"My, my, aren't we cowardly, five against one. Well, I guess that just spells out Slytherin doesn't it?" said a sardonic voice.
The five boys whipped their head around to see that the voice belonged to the one and only, dark haired boy, Sirius Black, James Potter's best mate. James grinned at him.
Arms crossed over his chest, Sirius stood there with a rather cool expression on his handsome face with a twinkle in his blue eyes.
"And for your information, we, his friends, are just right behind you" another voice called from behind.
Again, the youngSlytherinsturned their heads the other way to see two other young men. They were none other than a boy with sandy brown hair, and a plump boy with blond hair, known as Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.
With yet another one of his trademark smirk, James Potter, who had gone out of the circle of Slytherins while they were stunned, declared "Well, well, it seems more of a fair game now, doesn't it gentlemen?"
Before the young men in green could realise it, or actually did something about it, it was now their turn to be surrounded. With lasts mischievous smiles, the four Gryffindor boys raised their wands and started to shout hexes and jinxes. Sparks flew here and there, and none survived.
They finally left the scene talking joyously about the next trip to Hogsmeade. Behind them, they left five unconscious boys.

"What?" exclaimed a young girl's voice that came out of McGonagall's office
"P-potter! Absolutely not! I refuse categorically to teach that…that… boy!" stuttered Lily Evans "He's… he's the worst of them all! I'd rather teach any other students than him!" By now, Lily's face was tomato red because of how furious she was.
"Miss Evans," McGonagall tried to reason with her "you have to understand. He needs help, and you have been in the same classes as him for the past seven years. I can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to tutor him. He is the Head Boy after all and you the Head Girl."
"Well…" Lily bit her lower lip "We don't exactly like each other very much…"
McGonagall raised an eyebrow "And?"
Lily looked down at her shoes. A few second pasted, and Lily hesitated on if she should tell McGonagall the truth or not.
"And, we have never really gotten along for all these past seven years at Hogwarts." Lily answered quietly "Potter and I just ignore each other. Each time we see each other, it seems like we are only able to argue with each other."
Stunned, McGonagall said, "Merlin's beard! Don't tell me you two have been ignoring each other since the beginning of the year. How did you manage to do all the work, if you aren't even on speaking term?"
Lily fiddled anxiously with the sleeves of her robes, taking a deep breath and admitted that they just write notes on pieces of parchment and leave them around so that they couldn't argue, and could finish their work.
McGonagall sighed and thought for a while. Lily looked around nervously while she tried to find something to say to cut the tension. Suddenly, she had the urge to giggle because of how awkward this situation was. But she fought it down and kept her mind blank.
Suddenly, the professor interrupted the awkward silence, "Well, Miss Evans, I have nothing other to say than, you two will just have to work out your differences. And you i shall tutor him."
"But…"
"This is my final decision. Your lessons will be held in the Heads' common room every Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Now, will you please walk yourself out of my office? I have some exams corrections to attend to."
Lily didn't have to walk herself out of the room. McGonagall was practically pushing her out, ignoring Lily who was protesting that. Lily was finally able to get out of McGonagall's grip and turned to face her and continue on protesting. But the door closed with a loud 'bang' and would have probably hit Lily on the nose if she hadn't backed her face away. She swore under her breath and turned away.
Furious, she sped up her pace, heading for her room. Walking very fast through the big halls of the school and almost bumping into everyone. Some yelled at her angrily as she knocked them off their feet.
"How rude! Young lady, someone should teach you better manners!" shouted one of the paintings after Lily ran into a second year girl that fell down because of the impact Lily caused.
Usually Lily was a very polite person. She would have helped that poor young girl up, but she was at the moment, too mad to care.
After a few long minutes of walk, she finally arrived at the entrance to the Head's dormitory.
"This is really not my day. First those boys and now Potter. Just wonderful…" thought Lily as she gave quickly the password and entered the Heads' dormitory.
James, who was in the common room when she came in, looked up and stared as she walked by.
"Argh! Just my bloody luck!" cried Lily in an irritated voice as she walked through the common room rapidly, in the direction of her room, not even noticing James' presence. She closed her door loudly and flung herself onto her soft bed, sinking her head into her fluffy pillow.
On the other side of Lily's room, James was still staring at the door, not able to comprehend what just happened. He shrugged, deciding to forget what he just saw, and walked out of the common room whispering, "Pffft…Girls…"
