Chapter 1. The oh so noble Lily Evans

Before Sirius even had time to blink the hair in front of him went from ruffled to standing on the edge. The hand had come from nowhere… Sirius knew who the hand belonged to as well as why it had made its move. Oh Hell, the thought rushed through his head as he started to speak.

"Prongs, why don't you just ask her out? You've been drooling over her for a month now, if she hasn't noticed yet then she's blind." James Potter turned his head from staring at the girl that had just walked out through the doors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Looking at his best fiend Sirius Black who was sitting on the lawn right beside him he said:

"Sorry mate, didn't catch ya'." With a loud sigh Sirius just shook his head, there was no way in Hell Prongs would have heard what he said if he was looking at Lilly, right now the love of his life. Sirius looked at him once again and saw a manic grin spread across his friend's face. Without knowing it the same grin appeared in his own face. He looked around and caught site of what he knew was there. As one the two boys got up and walked over to a place very near Lilly and her friends. When they were only two meters from their goal it yanked it's head in their direction. It's eyes looked like a rabbit's seeing two wolfs ready to eat it. It's hand flew in to it's cloak to try and defend itself but it hadn't enough time, it never had.

"Why are you out on such a lovely day, Snivellus? You're destroying everyone's views. And you don't want that, do you!" Sirius started spinning the poor boy he had hexed into the air as he spitted his nickname out. Through clenched teeth, held together by a full body-bind spell, the boy tried to speak. From what it sounded like he tried to hex his tormenter even if his wand laid on the grass were he had been sitting just moments ago.

"What are you doing there, Grease ball? Trying to hex us? That's not very nice, now is it?" James grin hadn't disappeared from his face and now he had a reason for being a jerk to poor, ol´ Snivellus, at least he thought so. He raised his wand and all of a sudden was the boy who was spinning in the air dressed in a very short, pink dress and showed two hairy, skinny legs, everything still clutched together by the body-bind spell. But that's was just the clothes, the boys face wore the most horrible pink-coloured make-up no onecould imaging. Then Sirius let go of him, both body-bind and air-spinning, and he fell to the ground flat on his back. He threw himself to his wand and the clothes disappeared the moment he touched it.

He really did try to hex James and Sirius… he really did... but they were a little bit faster than him. He actually didn't have time to turn around and look at them properly before their spells hit him once again. This time he got bunny-ears, real ones, along with high-heeled court shoes. Trembling on his legs he started to curse the boys when a girl emerged out of nowhere. She took a stand right in between him and them, with her back to his side.

"James, you stop it right now!" She demanded. "And you to Black!" The snarl wasn't nearly as good as the boy behind her back wanted to but good enough… good enough for a beginner, he thought.

"Evans, will you please move you're pretty, little bum' out of the way… you see I don't want to give you feelers. That's the little thingies that stands out from a bug's head, you know!" When Sirius said this he got an angry look from Lilly Evans, the girl that had gotten in between him and his victim, and a murderous one from Prongs, AKA James Potter, his best friend, his brother.

"I would like to see you try that. Just so you know… you wouldn't make it that far…" Lilly's emerald green eyes looked deadly and Sirius actually wanted to take a step back but stopped himself when he remembered that there were a lot of viewers, he couldn't embarrass himself in front of everyone of them, uhuh, nooo way.

"Hurm…" Sirius coughed. "Ok, sorry 'bout that… but can you please move aside?" His voice was a little more gentle than before, and that was just lucky for him because if it hadn't both Lily and James would have thrown themselves at his throat.

"Yes I can… if you leave Snape alone." She wasn't going to change on that, Sirius was sure of it. With a great sigh and a clenched jaw he looked at her, damn her and her stupid ideas! But he would let her have this one, he could wait… it wasn't like Snivellus were going to disappear or anything.

"I can handle them alone, Evans… I don't want any help from you." The voice was cold and full of hatred… deep hate. Lily Evans turned and looked at the boy she had been protecting.

"You're not going to 'handle' anyone Snape." She actually spitted his name out in the same way she had spitted out Sirius… after all, he was a Slytherin and she was a Gryffindor.

Slytherin vs. Gryffindor, archenemies since the two founders of the school, who's names the houses had been given, had had their great argue and fight over what was right for the school. The enmity between the two houses had never gone away, it had always stayed like that even if lots of headmasters and headmistress had tried to unite them.

"You hear me! You're not going to 'handle' anyone Snape… because if they don't do anything to you, you don't have any reason to do anything to them, understand!"

"Of course I hear you, Evans… and I understand you as well but that doesn't mean I have to follow you're orders. You have no authority over me." With that he turned his heel and walked down the lake.
