'…You have 50 minutes to make me the best Hair Colour Changing Potion. The best one shall be awarded 20 house points. Go!'

There was much scrambling, as the Gryffindor and Slytherin class pushed their way to the cupboard. One Slytherin who knocked Professor SLughorn over didn't even bother to say sorry.

Lily grabbed the things she needed at placed in on the front desk. Next to her was Alice, and on the seat to the right would have usually been Marlene's, but she was in the hospital wing after having swallowed something suspicious given to her by Potter and Black. Whatever it was, it was hidden in her food that morning, and suddenly her face went from the usual light tan to the colours of the rainbow. Her face had stopped at green, and she had vomited all over Potter's food.

Not that Lily was unhappy about spew on Potter's food.

James had claimed it was supposed to be for someone else, but he had cringed as Lily started yelling at his face. Lily hoped that James wouldn't sit next to her…

'Morning, Evans.' James sidled next to her. Lily groaned.

'Are you unhappy to see me?' James put on a puppy face.

'Potter. Shut up. I'm trying to work.' Lily said through clenched teeth.

'Well, so am I! See, I am not that great at Potions, so I need somebody that is amazing at it…'

Lily said nothing. James pressed on.

'Well, if I have any trouble doing something, you know, can I ask you?'

Still Lily said nothing.

'I take that as a yes.' And he turned to his cauldron.

It was alright for a while. James was completely silent, much to Lily's surprise. Then James turned to Lily, holding up a small bottle.

'Hey, do I add this Doxy urine now?' He asked, waving the bottle under his nose.

Lily sighed and set her knife down.

'A, Read the instructions. And B, Doxies don't even urinate.'

James lowered the bottle.

'What? Doxies don't pee? How do they get rid of their liquid waste? Wait, what's this I'm holding then?'

'Let me rephrase that. I mean, Doxies don't urinate the way we do.'

'Well, how do they pee?'

'We urinate down. They urinate up.'

'Wait, what?'

'Jeez, Potter, use your brain!'

James turned green.

'Oh, yuck! They pee up – that's disgusting! I mean, coming out of your mouth. Where you place glorious food and water… I mean, you can taste it! '

'It's like spitting water for them.' Lily said.

'That's still disgusting! And how do you know this?'

'Ever heard of the Library, Potter?'

'You look up how Doxies pee in the Library?'

Lily rolled her eyes.

'Doxies pee from their – that's just not right.'

'It's the way of life, Potter.'

'That's gross!'

Lily watched, satisfied, as James turned so green he looked like he was going to throw up.

…And he did.


A short short one - shot, hopefully that wasn't too disgusting. Lemme know what you think, review please!
