Chapter 1

I'm going to MURDER him"!"

Emma sighed, "Lily, how do you know it was..."

"I bet he's off somewhere, smirking with that stupid grin of his, acting 'innocent' that boy has it in for me...I don't know what I ever did to him! Ok yesterday in the corridor I did call him a pompous git... but to be honest he is I mean, have you seen him walk around the school? No because the boy doesn't walk Emmeline! He struts!" Lily puffed out her chest, put on a deep voice and began imitating, while walking up and down the corridor "Hey, I'm James Potter and all I know is everybody love me..."

Emma held lily firmly by the shoulders, "Lily, I'm hungry, and as much as I love your rants, really I do, I want to go get something to eat, so, if your done" Emma held out her arm, "would you care to join me?" Lily rolled her eyes, but linked arms with her best friend and began walking towards the great hall, when they were joined by a Marlene McKinnon,

"Merlin! Lily what happened to you? You're soaking wet!"

"Oh I just thought I'd take a dip in the lake, you know, socialise with the giant squid, what do you think happened Marlene?!"Marlene threw her arms in the air, "How the bloody hell am I supposed to know Lily?" she sighed, looking at her friend apologetically, "Right...yeah, I'm sorry, I guess I'm having a bad day."

Marlene looked at her two friends, "So what actually happened to you?"

10 minutes earlier

Remus was pacing up and down the corridor, "this is a bad idea..."

"Yeah"

"He's going to know this was you; I mean you two aren't exactly the 'best of friends',"

"Yeah"

"James, are you even listening to me?"

"Yeah"

Remus frowned at his fellow Marauder, "Yeah, I thought so,"

James quickly grabbed Moony's arm and dragged him around the corner out of sight, "you remember the plan?" Moony didn't seem pleased, but nodded, James grinned, "good, because he's coming...ok on the count of three... one...two...three!" with his wand, Remus, then released a large bucket of water, onto what they thought was Gilderoy Lockhart's head.

James and Remus peered round the corner, only to see a yelling and cursing Lily Evans covered with water, "What the ... Potter?! I know you did this! Who else could do something so completely idiotic..."Both marauders disappeared from the corner, and started running towards the great hall,

"I told you it was a bad idea! We didn't even get the right person, and a bonus...Lily knows it was you" exclaimed Remus, still running down the corridor, "Maybe," thought James, smirking to himself, "What?" Remus asked.

"Evans knows me so well,"

Present

"And then I came down the corridor to catch the culprit, only to find Emmeline Vance, it was quite a disappointment."Lily sighed, "Glad to see you too Lily Evans..."Emma said folding her arms and glaring at her, "Well I was hoping to catch potter ..."she began,

"And you found me instead; I know such a disappointment..."Emma said trying to be dramatic, "So..." Marlene interrupted, "you don't actually know who did it?"

Lily frowned, trying not to look her friend in the eye, "well, no... No not exactly..."Marlene found this quite amusing and began to laugh, "what? What's so funny?"Lily questioned, however, she just found this even more amusing and laughed harder, when she finally stopped herself from laughing, she looked up and smiled at Lily, "I swear you blame that boy for everything"

"I do NOT blame him for everything!" Lily protested,

"Oh please, you thought the guy poisoned your cereal just the other day!"Marlene Argued,

"How was I to know the milk was off!" cried Lily, Marlene sighed," all I'm saying is you might want to cut the boy some slack..."Lily put her hand on her friend's shoulder "Marlene, sweet sweet Marlene, you know that is never going to happen, anyway, do you seriously believe that he isn't the one behind this, because I bet you a galleon that he is," Marlene looked hesitant but finally said, "deal."Both shook hands on it.

"Prepare to lose Mckinnion."
