Corrupting a Flower- Chapter 1: Sweet

Disclaimer: I own nothing.. I wish I did! But.I don't. ~_^ ******************************************************************

Sweet. Oh, yes, very sweet indeed.

Lily Evans wasn't the type of girl that you could ever be mean to. She was a delicate beauty with a heart-shaped face, jade eyes and wavy, blood red hair that stretched down her back to her buttocks (a portion of her body that boys were more inclined, than not, to stare at). Even the Slytherins never showed any cruel intent toward her, and they were Slytherins! Not that they could get away with it if they did want to harm her.

She was a sweetheart, all right, but boy would she hex the pants off of anyone who got on her bad side. That might have been why one would have seen James Potter running around with no pants on, Monday afternoon.

They had been in Transfiguration, trying to transfigure a bottle of hot sauce into a balled- headed eagle. James' spell had backfired, and of course, hit Lily when Peter accidentally knocked into James from behind, as he was running around screaming in pain from the intense heat of the hot sauce that he just couldn't resist taking a sip of.

We all know what happened after that. Lily's wavy, blood red hair that stretched down to her buttocks (a portion of her body that boys were more inclined to stare at) fell piece by, unbidden, piece to the ground. The class gasped in horror, and all turned to James in shock.

James cleared his throat nervously and said in a scratchy voice, " Gee! Man, Sirius! Why'd you go and do that?" He would have been quite convincing too, if his wand hadn't still been smoking. James giggled a bit hysterically, before calming down enough to look Lily straight in the eye. What he saw made him even more hysterical than he had been previously.

Lily's eyes, widened in shock, were rapidly turning into snake slits, and a low hiss escaped her lips. "You.YOU! Potter!" She spat the name with the utmost loathing.

The bald girl advanced upon James, and he backed away slowly to the opposite side of the room. "Yo! Sirius! You're not really going to let me take the heat, are you?" He looked to Sirius pleadingly.

Sirius just shook his head. "I can be stupid sometimes, Prongs", he started, "But even I'm not stupid enough to touch this. You're on your own, buddy."

James looked to the Professor. "Professor McGonagall! You're not going to let her harm a fellow student, are you?" Lily was almost upon him now..

"No, I'm not. Ms. Evans! Would you kindly stop this nonsense, this instant!", and James would have kissed her, if he had the chance. But he didn't, because at that moment Lily, ignoring her teacher, leaped at him, snarling.

"I want your BLOOD, Potter!"

James screamed and tried to jump out of the way, and would have failed miserably, if someone hadn't yelled "Wingardium Leviosa!".

James rose to the ceiling and hit his head, hard on the roof of the classroom, under Remus Lupin's wand. "Ow!"

Lily still leaped and snarled from the ground, trying to grab at him, without success.

"Ms. Evans! I'm surprised at you!" All at once, something in Lily seemed to snap, and she was once again, sweet little Lily (minus the hair, of course). She calmed down immediately, and when she realized what she had almost done, she hung her head in shame. No one had ever seen this side of Lily before. Had she finally snapped her quill?

"I will be seeing you in detention, tonight, Ms. Evans." There was a collective gasp of shock. Lily's record was cleaner than Gilderoy Lockheart's teeth, and that was saying something. But looking at James, still suspended in the air, high above their heads, could they really be surprised that she had gotten a detention?

"But, Professor-"

"No buts, Ms. Evans!" "Please-!"

"MS. EVANS!!!! GO TO THE HEADMASTERS OFFICE, NOW!"

Shocked into silence, Lily left.
