"Awesome, Jim. I shall quote you... Hey if you want I could show them the proper way to cast that hex... on you perhaps," she said with an eyebrow wiggle for his benefit. Little did he know, Lexi had skills now that she hadn't had before. Hehehe.
"Yeah no. I'm good. Already a human target over here." Jim answered. "But I've gotta get back to this so... if you want a lesson or two... stick around." Meaning if she wasn't, then she could either go or sit somewhere out of the way so she could
perve on him watch and pick up a few tricks.

He decided against going into the main defense room, and instead stepped into the other one, watching Jimmy for a second. He seemed to be teaching. But Finlay had a feeling that he probably wouldn't be welcome at all. Hmm. But Lexi was here too. So that would kind of help right?
"Hey guys..." He spoke, as he wandered over to them. This was going to be interesting. "Mind if I join you?"
....
"You could learn a lesson or two." Jim muttered, but otherwise remained fairly polite in the sense that he didn't IGNORE Finn.

He turned to have a break, and to see where Jimmy had got to (as in, how much extra practice he might have til the older boy saw his efforts), when Spike saw someone he hadn't ever expected to be here.
His eyes widened, as Finn went over and spoke to Jimmy. Had they made up? And Spike didn't know about it? He pursed his lips together, a curiousity in his blue eyes.
Perfecting urticate (bamBAM) was momentarily forgotten...
"Hows that spell going?" Jim NOTICED Spike watching and deliberately turned his attention back to this tutoring gig.

She held her wand in front of her and tried to hit it. "Urticate!" she missed. She tried again. And again. And again. Eventually she managed to get within three inches of her target. "Arghhh!!! So close!" she frowned and sighed in frustration, popping a jelly baby into her mouth.
"I'm a bit crooked with my aim too." Jim noted. "But you can compensate for it..." He did a tiny side step to illustrate his point. Moving over a little and casting the same would mean a better hit. "Some time, you should try out casting in the wind too. Most magic isn't effected but some is, and its kind of interesting to see what is and what isn't."

Wait Jim-say-what-now!?
he's asking her to do it again because he didn't die!? Does this mean that he wants her to do it hard enough so he does die!? Oh my Merlin, as if it wasn't hard enough to do it to his arm the first time. Now he wants her to do it again.
Nika took in a deep breath as she held out her wand again and looked at the target, which in this case was jim's ARM!! Now all she needed to do was add a little more "oomph", but what if she didn't want to add more oomph!? Right. Deep breath. "Er-tick-ate!"
Okay that one STUNG, but Jimmy was brave. He opened his eyes, having only flinched a bit since he was so tough and all, and looked at his arm, which now sported an impressive looking red weal, as if it had indeed been hit with nettles, and reacted to it.
"Heyyyyyyyyy good job." He dropped his arm and prodded at the weal with his finger. Cringing slightly. War wound. Worth it though, with Nika getting the hang of it all.
He looked up and around the room.

Hmm?
"Oh yeah, sure. We've been working on a nettle stinging hex, but I think we'll move on in a bit. You've got your wand? I'm Jimmy by the way."

Knocking softly, Ari entered the classroom and looked around.
'Excuse me, may I join you? Do I need to sign up first?' she asked everyone, and no one in particular. All that she wanted was to learn a few spells.

"Yeah join in." Jim agreed. "I'm helping with offensive things, if you'd rather learn some defense, go over to Simon over there." He pointed out the Gryffindor Quidditch captain.
