A few days after the talk with his mother, James was calmer about the Lupin issue and was flying his Nimbus 1001 in the training room.
He continued with a training routine for both quidditch and offensive and defensive magic. According to his father, he didn't have to worry about the trace ...

The week in which James and the others had to wait for the exam grades was strange.
Mainly because they didn't have to do anything and had a lot of free time, James tried to take advantage of it and kept practicing different defensive spells like Aeromanteo or Protego.

"Why does the first exam have to be Transfiguration...?" asked Toby nervously as they ate breakfast.

For this reason, the marauders put aside the pranks and explorations and spent all day studying. James stopped going to the dragon club. It was useless as there was no o...

It was five minutes to seven in the evening. James was already heading up to the 7th floor to the disused classroom. He was alone. He had his wand ready to pull it out at any moment just in case.

Today is James' birthday. It had been two weeks since he started to have a more controlled routine that allowed him to sleep better. So he stopped falling asleep in class or being on the verge of being late, and his homework was back to the same quality as before.

James' theory about Lupin grew even stronger. Clearly, Lupin was weak and low on energy. If you watched him a little, you could easily tell.
However, he would wait another month. He must not rush. Then, he will converse with Lupin to hear from his mouth whether he is a werewolf or not. As f...
