Summary: James tries extra hard to get Lily to notice him, and all his plans refuse to work. Now he's thinking of the ultimate scheme: including purple hair and bubbleheads! Will it work, or will his plan backfire. Read and find out!
It All Begins:
"POTTER, YOU INCOMPETENT LITTLE TOERAG! UNDO THIS SPELL OR I'LL TAKE AWAY HOUSE POINTS," shrieked my best friend, Lily Evans. "POTTER, I KNOW YOU IN THERE! COME OUT THIS INSTANT!" Yep, I thought, perfect timing; this keeps our morning schedule in tact.
"What's going on," asked the infamous Sirius Black; his long black hair bouncing off his shoulders as he walked towards my chair. For a second, I thought I could hear his fan club sighing form across the common room.
"Uh, just the usual," I sighed, stretching. Suddenly alert I added, "What do you want, Black?" I could hear that our conversation was being serenaded by the voices of Lily and Potter:
"Oh Evans, do you really want to take house points away from your own house now? You wanna keep your Gryfindor honor now, don't you?"
"I SWEAR, POTTER, I'LL DO IT! DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!"
Suddenly, the squeak of the entrance portrait was heard and my other two friends, Janette Hoovers and Alice Movery, stumbled into the room. Close behind them stood Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, laughing at the fallen girls. Finally rising up from my perch, I walked towards them. Since I hadn't seen any of them on the train ride over, this was my first time in over two months seeing them.
Janette Hoovers stood at about 5'2" and had midnight black hair that ran in waves down her back. She had glistening steel eyes and a pale face. Netta was bright (except when it came to potions and care of magical creatures), kind, and athletic. She played keeper on the Gryfindor quidditch team and was assistant captain.
Alice Movery had shoulder length hair and was relatively small. She had rosy cheeks and a charming personality, which shone through her misty ocean eyes. She was your normal best friend figure; kind, smart, and gave great advice.
"We really should try to break them apart, you know, they're already giving me a migraine," whined Alice, facing Lily and James, who were intent on killing each other. Of course, when are they not?
"Ok, let me think of a plan."
Sirius put on a pained face that lead us to believe that he was thinking. Suddenly he looked ecstatic. " Melli, Alice, and Janette go and… Remus, Peter and I will… get it?"
We all nodded and jumped to it. Alice, Janette and I leapt onto Lily, tackling her to the floor, while Peter, Remus, and Sirius leapt onto James. Ducking stray curses and spells that were floating around in the air, we finally led them to different sides of the room. By then, we had a huge audience. Great, what a dream come true.
"What are you guys doing? Let me at him, LET ME AT HIM!"
Lily banged her feet onto the ground and tried to slap us away from her. We tried to calm her down but she was too far into the "must-kill-James-or-else" mode. There was nothing we could do but lead her to the lake outside. This isn't going to be easy, I thought as Janette and Alice lugged her towards the entrance portrait, this isn't going to be easy at all.
15 minutes later...
"Why is she always after me, Padfoot?"
"Uh…let's take a guess shall we. I think that Lily probably despises you with all her mortal being because your…hair is black. That's why she hates me too! Don't you think it's amazing that she doesn't hate Janette? Wha-," blabbered Sirius sarcastically, until Remus interrupted him.
Glaring at him, Remus replied, "It's probably because you pranked her for practically your whole five years here at Hogwarts. And then the incessant "will-you-go-out-with-me" routines, I swear, those were the most annoying things ever. I bet, if you're looking for a way to make a girl never look at you again, you should ask her to go out with you five hundred times a day. You should really lie low for a while, you know, try to get to know her, try to-."
"Yeah, yeah, Remus, we know you're all for the whole mushy, gushy lovey-dovey romance advice, but we all know how to get rid of a girl. By the way, Mooney, what do you know about girls anyway, you never had a girlfriend and the one girl you have your eye on doesn't even know-," argued Sirius until he a hand slapped onto his mouth making it unable for him to talk. "Mph, mum, mumph!"
"SHUT UP, PADFOOT, SHUT UP! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!"
"Oh yeah, well I know you have a crush on-"
The two boys started to wrestle each other on the ground, bumping into books, parchment, and some unmentionable items that happened to be lying on the ground of their dorms right at that moment. Peter yelped and jumped onto his bead as Remus and Sirius started rolling toward him. James began to grin, Peter's reaction made him think of the scene in an old muggle film where an adventurer, who was holding a bag of jewels, was running away from a boulder. Then there was Peter, holding onto his head, running away from the ball of flesh, which was now Remus and Sirius. I've got to find a way to get Lily this year. This year is going to be the year, I'm sure of it, he thought, grinning to himself. This'll be the year. And with that, he joined in on the wrestling, which led to a very harsh pillow fight. It was only until after the boys crawled under their sheets, was when James thought, Hey! Who does Remus like anyway? I've never seen him so mad in my life! Now, who's the lucky girl…Mona… Gabrielle… Sophie…
