1st year James sending letters to Narcissa & Andromeda to meet up with him in a private place and this is the first time that they’ve seen James as a Heir. They end up at classroom near the kitchens for afternoon tea (4:15 pm - 5:00 pm), James ending up asking Alice for some transfiguration help & a silencing charm. James may of skipped his last class to make sure everything was in place & the food and drinks were ready. They are greeted in with James iced over eyes, and the room seems cold. The brief formalities are given then James asks politely with anger in his tone of how he can help Sirius. They glance at each other and share what they know but lightly suggest James ask Alice and Ted about this. This is how James accidentally ends up creating a club for helping dating the blacks. Remus is eventually invited and Lucius & Rodolphus was only invited for the basics by Ted (Andy) & James (Sirius) once they were sure Narcissa wasn’t going to run away or Bellatrix wasn’t going to murder him immediately. (Everyone is more than a bit surprised that James is the one in their group prone to murdering their parents.). Also Reta was given the basics and could’ve stayed for longer but… wasn’t willing to sign the contract for what is said or done can’t be shared to others. (Also the basics are done in a different room & a different time.)

On the other side of the castle: Blacks meeting up and sharing all the tea & gossip. Also wondering what is being said in the black protection club. (back & forth weeks, if Bella is there Sirius can’t be but if Sirius is there Bella can’t. otherwise someone or multiple people are getting murdered) also talking about people being horrified by their dark jokes/punishments.
