Jim was tucking into his breakfast when the great hall seemed to break out laughing. He raised his head and noticed they were looking towards the door. He began to laugh too when he noticed his spell had worked on the former redhead.

Her once long and flowing red locks were now replaced with dark brown tendrils that she'd pulled back into a ponytail and made her look like a moldy pineapple. Not quite Medusa snakes but close enough.

Jim saw her eyes were aimed at him and her expression showed she was as angry as hell.

"Uh-oh," Matt commented as he noticed her, too. He now worried for Jim's safety.

The angry woman marched quickly to towards Jim.

Jim put down his cutlery, put on his most charming smile, and waited for her to arrive.

"You pig, you did this to me," she shouted at him.

"Hey, darlin'," he greeted her softly as though nothing was wrong.

"I'm going to make you pay," she told as she prepared to take a swing at him but her fist was stopped by Tychus who was now holding her wrist.

"Piss off you crazy bitch," Tychus told her as he held her wrist firmly.

She tried to pull it away but his grip was too firm. "Tell your girlfriend to let go of me," she told Jim.

Jim frowned at her. "Tychus, she ain't worth it," he said uninterestedly.

"But clearly worth poisoning with incorrectly made potions?" she asked sarcastically. "I guess you added too much rat tail and neglected to add Bundimun secretion?"

Jim was impressed she had worked that out; especially since the potion was in the restricted section - how did she know it so well?

Tychus released her hand. He prepared to grab it again if she gave him cause to.

"You brought it on yourself, darlin'," Jim told her coldly.

"Oh?" she asked, expecting him to give her a better explanation than that. "Do you have some type of problem with women who stick up for themselves?" she stated coldly.

Jim frowned. He really didn't.

"Damaged ego that I didn't fall for the pig boy charm?" she wanted to hear exactly what his problem was.

Jim shook his head, insulted by her accusations. "I respect women who stick up for themselves," he stated boldly. "And I don't care if you don't want me," that wasn't entirely true. "But I do have a problem with people who are rude and aggressive. Maybe you have a problem with men who stick up for themselves?" he shot back.

She laughed at his suggestion. "Me? Aggressive?" she asked. "This!?" she shouted as she pointed at her hair.

"Turned into a pig!" he yelled back at her as he pointed to himself.

She narrowed her eyes. "I'm done being around men like you," she said quietly but with a voice full of hatred. At the academy it was a man that had used and abused her and she was damned if another man was going to mess with her life again.

"Why don't you leave Hogwarts and go running back to your mommy and daddy?" Tychus interrupted.

She turned her head and glared at him. The thoughts of her parents suddenly hit her.

"Although, guessin' they didn't want you and shipped you off to that school for murderers as soon as they could," Tychus laughed.

She was about to say something but stopped herself. She turned her head back to Jim and stared angrily at him, contemplating making them all pay. It was only the overwhelming sadness she could feel again that forced her to back off.

Jim thought for a moment he saw a line of moisture form in her eyes but she had turned and left before he saw actual tears. He felt bad that he'd made her cry and he thought perhaps maybe he had over stepped the line - seeing the effects of the potion on her were a lot more drastic than he'd realized. However, he thought, she was still as beautiful as ever.
