"Guys! God...Ive been looking EVERYWHERE for you!"James called, running into the common room. He took a minute to regain his breath, then straightened back up. "Ive got a plan to get back at Snape!"He said, smiling. Sirius and Remus seemed to perk up, but Lily went on reading. Lauren snatched the book out of her hand. "What-"Lily protested, glaring at Lauren. "Ok, I doubt your going to do this, Lily, but you play a major part in this."James said, looking at her. Lily raised an eyebrow. "Does it threaten my reputation?"Lily asked. "Errrrrr......no......."James answered. "Does it have to so with me taking or making any potion?"Lily asked. "No."James answered. "Does it-" "Oh for gods sake Lils! Chill out!"Lauren interuppted "Ok, sorry, what do I have to do?"Lily asked, folding her arms. "Dont freak....until you hear the whole plan."James said, holding up a hand. Lily sighed. "Ok."She grumbled. "COME ON JAMES!"Sirius yelled, hitting him over the head with a book. "IM GETTING THERE!IF EVERYONE WOULD SHUT UP AND LET ME FINISH!"James yelled back.He took a deep breath. "Ok....Lily, you date Snape so we can-" "NO!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!"Lily screamed, jumping up. "Wait Lily, you didnt let me finish!"James pleaded, forcing Lily back into her chair. "I dont care, Im not doing it. He is a total freak."Lily said, folding her arms again and looking away. "Well, at least let me finish.......OK, you date him so we can figure out a bunch of stuff about him, then use it against him...in the best....worst....however you put it, prank at Hogwarts."James finished. "Sounds good to me." "Yeah, no biggie." "No problem." "Im not doing it."Lily said stubbornly. "Come on Lils, its not that bad."James said, sitting in the chair next to her. "Its Snape!!!"Lily yelled. Lauren, Sirius and Remus were beside themselves in laughter."And besides...since when was I ever involved in your pranks?"Lily asked. "Since we got you out of that mess with Malfoy, and you said you owed us."James answered, grinning. Lily sighed. James stood up and beckoned for her to follow him as he headed for the door. "No Im not doing it."Lily snapped. "Just come on!"He grabbed her arm, pulling her out the door.

"Lils, I need you to do this for me. Snape got us really bad last time, and we have to get him back."James said, putting his hands on Lilys shoulders. "I dont care. I payed you back for our 4th year, I dont have to do this, and I wont."Lily said, pulling away. "Please Lily....We really need you for this."James took her hand, pulling her back to him. "..............................................Oh alright fine."Lily muttered. "THANK YOU!"James almost kissed her, but hugged her instead. Lily sighed. "You'll owe me BIG TIME."She said, pulling away. She walked off down the hall. "Lils where you going!?"James called. "To find Snape."Lily called back, and continued walking. James walked back into the common room.
