Perhaps it wasn't entirely necessary to the outsider, but James couldn't go another day without calling a meeting of the newly formed Defence Club that afternoon. Everything was happening too quickly around them and he had a sinking feeling that things would only get worse. After all, now it was rumours inside of Hogwarts that had students on edge. Even their Professors had to address the issue by waving off the rumours with as much lack of attention as they thought they deserved. But James hadn't been convinced. If anything, the fact that the Professors even felt the need to mention these rumours showed just how much of a problem they were.

And then there was Sirius. He'd been acting strange on and off for the last few days. It hadn't slipped past James's notice that the strange behaviour seemed to begin right after the cursed Ball incident. However, not wanting to dwell on it further, he'd gotten the sign-up list from Remus and sent each person a little note, urging them to meet in the common room on Sunday afternoon. While James sat there with an anxious tension running through him, he let his knee bob up and down, hard enough to wear a hole with his nerves.

James couldn't believe what he was hearing. It wasn't like he didn't expect it, but to actually hear it was a different story. He felt himself gaping at Sirius, disbelief and hurt written all over his face. He quickly covered it up with an angry expression at the vile things that he was saying. Before he could stop himself, he gave in to his anger and yelled out after Sirius:

"Get on then, before I hex your dumb arse!" With a barely contained growl, he turned back to the Gryffindors gathered about, passing them all a hot look.

"Just forget his buggering arse. He's being a prat. This isn't about stupid hexes that won't do anything serious," he insisted. "I mean real spells, defensive magic that won't just trip someone up, but keep them immobilised or disarm them. That's the real trick." James felt himself brightening in mood as he spoke, tackling an area that he knew how to handle.
