Lily's eyes sparkled as she ran through the corridor in search of her best of her best friend, Arabella Figg.
Lily Evans was 17 years old with long fiery curls, emerald green eyes so deep that you could drown in them, fair skin and the perfect body. She was the head girl and one of the most popular, sought after girls in Hogwarts. She had a, short, nasty temper that was usually reserved for her archenemies, James Potter, Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. Her best friend, Arabella Figg, was almost the complete opposite. She had long brown waves which rippled almost to her waist and big, icy blue eyes. Her skin was dark so that she could almost be mistaken as a half-cast. She was sweet to everyone. Everyone besides James Potter that is. She had no particular reason for hating him. Just the fact that he had broken too many girls hearts. Arabella and Lily had one other thing in common besides hating James: pranks. Their no. 1 love in life.
"Bella," gasped Lily as she ran up behind her friend in the hall.
"Hey Lil," said Arabella, as Lily fell into step with her.
"I was with you the whole time," informed Lily.
"Right," said Arabella, nodding. "Of course you were. Why?"
"Picture this." Lily slung an arm around her friend's shoulder and waved the other one in the air. "Severus Snape dolled up in a pink dress with lace and frills, an adorable matching bonnet and ringlets!" she exclaimed in glee. Arabella laughed.
"Nice one," she commented.
"Think about the humiliation," said Lily almost dancing with joy. "When everyone sees him at dinner!"
"Hun," said Arabella. "Great prank but don't you think he might catch sight of himself. Well we all know he never looks in the mirror but y'know there are a lot of suits of armour in the hall and they're pretty clean and shiny. VERY easy to see yourself in." She nodded.
"See that's the beauty in the thing," explained Lily. "He'll see himself as normal and won't know why everyone ELSE is laughing at him." She smiled. "Just call me genius mc Lily." The walked to class, laughing about Snape the whole time.
"Hey Sarah," said James, wrapping his arm around a tall blue-eyed, golden-haired girl.
"It's Mandy," she corrected. "But I can be Sarah if you want me to," she added as he flashed her a smile.
"Mandy is fine," he said. "Anyway I was just wondering if you wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend." He smiled, innocently, at her. She stared at him and smiled.
"Sure," she said.
"Meet you in the three broomsticks at 1.30 on Saturday?" he asked, politely. Mandy nodded. "Great!" exclaimed James.
"Come on Mandy," shouted one of her friends.
"I have to go," said Mandy. "I'll see you on Saturday?" James nodded and stared after her as she waved and walked away with her friends.
James Potter was 18 and tall with floppy black hair, chocolate brown eyes, tanned skin and a smile that made girls faint at his feet. He was the leader of a group called The Marauders. He was flirty and a total womanizer. He ate, slept and breathed girls. He was head-boy and definitely the most popular guy at Hogwarts. Even his exes wanted him back, no matter how harshly he had dumped them.
"Potter," shouted Sirius, coming up behind him and hitting him on the shoulder. "New girlfriend?"
Sirius Black was James' best friend, 17 and next most popular guy in school after James. He had longish, messy brown hair, brown eyes like velvet, which were always sparkling with mischief and a mischievous look forever playing on his face. He was king of pranksters and always the brains of the operation.
"Oh yea," said James turning around, a smile on his face.
"What happened Lori?" asked Sirius. "She was cute."
"Yea," agreed James. "She was but her time expired."
"You're too much James," said Sirius. "Did you ever think of settling down with someone. You're soul mate." James thought about it.
"Nope," he said. "That, buddy, would be way too boring." Sirius shrugged.
"Worth a try," he said.
"Not for me," said James.
"Guess you're right," agreed Sirius as they walked away.
Lily and Arabella entered the great hall and immediately spotted people whispering, giggling and pointing at the Slytherin table.
"Love the new look, Snapie," shouted Lily, waving to him. Snape's face was a mixture of anger and confusion.
"Poor ol' Snape," said Arabella, wiping tears of laughter out of her eyes. "Wait!" she said. "What am I saying? Serves the bastard right!" the girls took their places at the Gryfinndor table and waited. Dumbledore stood up and the hall fell silent.
"Mr. Snape," he said with a twinkle in his eye. "You're look seems to have changed today which I'm sure was no doing of your own."
"Professor," said Severus Snape. "What are you on about?" Dumbledore transfigured a glass to a mirror and magicked it to Snape. Snape peered into it and everyone waited for the fireworks. "Yea so?" "What's wrong with me?" The hall burst into laughter.
"Can't see his true reflection," muttered Dumbledore to Professor McGonagall. He waved his wand and Snape's yells of anger began. Dumbledore chuckled and silenced the hall. His eyes searched the hall and stopped at the Gryfinndor table where the Marauders were still laughing.
"Misters Potter, Black and Lupin," he said. "Please report to me after dinner for you're detentions." Lily smiled innocently.
Lily and Arabella walked over to where Sirius and Remus were sitting in the Gryfinndor common room.
"Sorry for getting you guys detention," said Arabella. Lily smirked and flopped down on the floor next to Remus.
"No big deal," said Sirius. "Helps us towards getting the record for most detentions ever," he said.
Remus Lupin was the final member of the Marauders. He was 18 with sandy hair, deep blue eyes, lightly tanned skin and a mysterious aura. He had his fair share of admirers and was a bit like James and Sirius mixed. He was into girls but didn't, unlike James, break a new heart every week. He was more faithful and had a good sense of how long to stay with a girl without making them think he was a womanizer. Same with the pranks situation. He liked them and was always involved in them but knew how far to go and when to stop. He was more sensible than the other two but not a boring goody goody.
"I win!" shouted Lily later that evening. She had been playing, or maybe I should say cheating in, a game of wizard chess with Sirius.
"No you don't," Sirius shouted back. "You were cheating."
"You can talk," said Lily. "Look!" she pointed at Sirius. "It's Mr. Cheaterly himself!" Sirius glared at her and she glared back before they both collapsed in laughter. "You wanna play again, Si?" asked Lily.
"Mmm hmm," said Sirius, nodding viciously.
"Prepare to lose!" threatened Lily. "Again." Sirius glared at her.
