A/N: Based on a Tumblr post I saw. First Harry Potter fic. Please review.
Lily was having a very bad month. Her best friend, or so she thought, had called her a mudblood. Ironically, it was Severus who told her not to pay attention to such insults and consoled her in her first year. It felt cruel, him saying the words she detested, even after he knew what those words did to her. Well, he did try to apologize, but Lily was done with him. She was done giving excuses for what Severus did. She would not turn a blind eye to the cruel person Severus was becoming. She tried to dissuade him from his dark ambitions, but he didn't listen. And, Lily was done trying.
On top of that, she just received a letter from her parents. Petunia's boyfriend was coming for Christmas and they wanted her to come. Ugh. Lily avoided going home for Christmas because of Petunia. Even after five years, Petunia was still sore that she wasn't a witch. Lily had tried with her as well, but they never got along.
"I must stop trying to change things" she mused to herself.
She walked along the corridors, thanking Godric for the millionth time, that she was a witch. The problems it caused were nothing compared to what she could do. In this brighter mindset, she started going towards the grounds, intending to take a walk.
She walked towards the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch, checking beforehand if anyone was practicing. She was done watching that Potter make a complete fool out of himself. She walked on the pitch, savoring the fresh, magical air. She started to relax slowly. She started skywalking. It was a relaxation technique her father had taught her. The technique was that you walk but you only look at the sky.
She was doing fine and was taking more confident steps when she slipped. Irritated, she got up, cursing the world for not letting her relax. She saw the thing she slipped on. An old piece of parchment. How odd.
She frowned at the irresponsibility of students. It made her job as a prefect much harder. She picked up the parchment and took out her wand to burn it.
Incendio.
Nothing happened. Strange. She was good at that spell. She tried again.
Incendio.
Still nothing. But writing started to appear on the parchment.
"Must be a Zonko product" she thought to herself. She opened the parchment, bracing herself for anything that might happen.
Mr. Moony would like to advise Ms. Evans to leave this piece of parchment wherever found.
Mr. Prongs would like to add that Ms. Evans is insane…ly hot, just like the flames she wanted to produce.
Mr. Padfoot would like to differ with . He challenges Ms. Evans to destroy the parchment, that nerdy red-head. He also requests Mr. Prongs to get his head out of the gutter and perform his duties.
Mr. Wormtail is unavailable for comment, he is too busy eat..too busy.
Must be an Impervius Charm along with other things. Huh. One advice, one insult and one compliment. Prongs, Padfoot, Wormtail and Moony. Strange names. But it felt like she heard them somewhere. She wonders if she should heed Mr. Moony's advice or to take up Mr. Padfoot's challenge. She decides to take up the challenge.

She decided to go to the library. Talking pieces of parchment were not really her area. She found nothing on them, except for advice to not trust something if you couldn't see where it keeps it head. She wonders if she should give the parchment to a teacher. The thrill of the puzzle kept her from doing so. She decided she would tell her best friend about it and they would try destroying it together. She had to be responsible.
"Cathy, come here for a sec" Lily called her.

They went back to their room. Cathy was equally curious. Both of them cast the spell at once.
Evanesco.
Nothing happened. They didn't really expect something would happen. Curious, Lily opened the parchment to read what it said now.
Mr. Moony advises the red head and her friend to come out of their stupidity and leave the parchment where it belongs
Mr. Prongs wishes he could vanish Ms. Evans….and conjure her near him
Mr. Padfoot would like to shake his head at Mr. Prongs and also ask Ms. Evans and her friend to give up. He adds it is impossible for them to see anything below their noses.
Mr. Wormtail would like to give Ms. Evans and her friend the compliments of the season and advices Catherine to stop putting so much makeup
"No, Cathy, don't worry about the makeup. They've insulted me too." Lily said, seeing that her friend was slightly hurt.
"No, it's okay." Catherine replied. Lily could see that Catherine wanted to find out the secret behind the parchment as much as she did.
"So, should I give this to a teacher?" Lily asked.
"No! Where would the fun be in that?" Cathy said, her eyes blazing with excitement.
A/N: There will be one or two chapters more. Suggestions on spells are welcome. Advice is welcome. Reviews are love!
