Disclaimer: Do I look like a young single-mom/British writer by the name of
JK Rowling to you? Thought so. These characters are not mine. The setting
isn't mine either. JK Rowling owns them. Though by the time I'm done she
might want to disown them. Anyways I take no credit for them right forever
and I soon might take no credit for my story as well
Author's Note: This is my first posted fan fic. I've written fan fiction of celebrities but never of storybook characters so please be easy on me. Might I add that fan fiction I've read about celebrities does not even deserve to be in the same category y'all right in. You're really good. No I'm not trying to butter you up but compared to yours this fic sucks so don't get your hopes up. But judging my pyro_spam's reaction when she read chapter two, it should get better. Please read and respond, I'm not afraid of criticism, it can only help me get better! Thanks!

"Rooster dung," said a confident Sixth-year Gryffindor. Any passing wizard or witch would have assumed that he was talking about a seemingly challenging potion concoction he was trying to piece together. Well you know what they say when you assume, it makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'. He received a perplexed glance from his best friend sitting on the opposite of him in the Hogwarts library.
"The ingredient we need for the Sleep-You-Not potion," said the boy trying to explain it to his friend. It seemed to work because apprehension etched his once confused face and the other boy said,
"Oh you're doing potions work but Padfoot, I thought we were coming up with ways to thoroughly make Snape's life full of misery!" The other boy looked irritated.
"Yeah and if we feed the potion to Snape he won't be able to sleep. Then he will fail all the mid-terms the professors decided to spring on us!"
"Sirius we've been plotting for two hours and all you can think of is a potion that will lead Snape into having insomnia?!?" exclaimed the frustrated friend.
"Well James what have you come up with oh wise one?" retaliated Sirius.
"How about we curse his quill to write only wrong answers?" said a smug James Potter. Sirius shook his head making James's grin recoil.
"It's too hard, the last time we tried that all we did was turn his quill plaid!" Sirius reminded. James looked defeated until he suggested,
"We could put Rash Roaches in his wardrobe!" But again Sirius Black shook his head and pointed out,
"The last time we tried sneaking into the Slytherins' house some third years knocked into us." The two friends just sat there for a moment and contemplated on schemes they could do. They hadn't even realized the raven-haired Ravenclaw listening to their every word until she piped up,
"I've got an idea you two haven't tried before" James looked startled and Sirius jumped back when they heard the voice interrupt their thoughts. They looked up at their fellow sixth-year in surprise until Sirius smiled and responded,
"Do tell Lily." The girl looked sternly at Sirius knowing perfectly well that he didn't believe that Lily, smart as she may be could think up of a prank they hadn't done. Sirius was a little on the egotistical side handsome as he may be with his sharp brown eyes, spiked black hair and boyish grin. James could tell that Lily wouldn't say anything if she felt degraded so he quickly added,
"Yeah Lily help us, we're fresh out of ideas." Lily's gaze turned to James while she suggested,
"Why don't you guys do nothing at all to Snape!" That seemed to convince Sirius he was right and he sarcastically commented,
"Oh perfect plan Lily! That's it, we'll bore him to death! Why didn't I think of that before?" Lily and James both shot Sirius a look at James at a sickening feeling that Sirius was going to spill the fact the James uh..had the antithesis of affinity towards Lily but Lily spoke before Sirius could open his mouth,
"Do you mind if I finish? Severus-"
"SEVERUS?!?!?!" shouted both James and Sirius. Lily rolled her eyes and continued,
"I'm sorry I forgot, you guys aren't dignified enough to call each other by each other's first names. Anyways, SNAPE knows you're planning to do something to him, he knows its just a matter of time. So he'll be on the look out for you and the more you stall the more worried he will become."
"Paranoia I like it!" Sirius said genuinely impressed. James looked happy or maybe relieved and said,
"Good plan, we might pretend to be doing something a couple of times to throw him off even worse but in general good job Lily. For a second there I thought you took a fancy towards Snape!"
"Me? Giddy with Sev-uh Snape? Please!" Lily laughed maybe a little too hard. The boys were to busy congratulating themselves for a job well done to see Lily's fingers crossed behind her back.
