“Told you I could do it!” the eldest Potter sibling yelled, moving swiftly through the school halls, waving his latest potions exam around with a cocky grin on his face. For weeks, maybe months now, everyone had been telling him he’d been slacking off too much, that he should take school more seriously. Perhaps there was some truth in that, but he’d much rather spend his time flying above a Quidditch field or drinking butterbeer with friends than with his nose in his books.
Potions was by far his worst elective, James had just taken it because it was the only Corporis class he’d kind if felt could be useful. So the fact that he’d passed.. well at least his parents could stop whining about it now. “Here, see: You all underestimated me!” he continued bragging to no one in particular, waving his exam results in the faces of random passing students.
