Dedication: This story is to all those Lilly and James fans, although if you aren't that's technically an insult to Harry. But more importantly this story is dedicated to my friends. That's right, "E", Lills, Carmen, Padama, baton chick, and if you ever feel the need to read this: Klinger.

Disclaimer: I own none of Harry Potter except the characters I've made up, and the plot.

A/N: I will spell Lily with one L even if it's not correct.

Flower Tears and Marauder Fears

Chapter One: Purple Cats and Angry Flowers

"JAMES POTTER!" screeched the voice of Lily Evans, echoing of the walls of the Gryffindor common room. Remus Lupin, sitting by the fire with a book, watched as Sirius Black barely managed to hide a grin. James himself looked up from the book he had in his lap and watched as a furious Lily came storming down the stairs , Emerald eyes glinting angrily while her glowing red hair flared out behind her, seeming to cackle with electricity.

Coming over to where the maurders were sitting, Lily furiously stood in front of James holding what appeared to be an alarmingly purple cat. Seeing this Sirius erupted in gales of bark like laughter, along with laughter from half the common room; until Lily ripped her furious gaze from James and warned the common room through gritted teeth:

"Unless you all plan on spending the next week in detention I suggest you scatter."

Almost immediately everyone began gathering their belongings and shooting James looks that ran from sympatic to "What you do this time". Remus wisely deciding that whatever James had done had finally pushed Lily over to far, gathered a laughing Sirius and a confused looking Peter ( A/N: Peter has been watched entire thing, looking confused through out) up to their dormitories. Just as the door to the boy's dormitories closed they heard "Good – gasp- Luck – laugh – mate!" from Sirius. Remus than shut the door and plunged the fighting pair into silence.

James, his messy black hair as unruly as ever looked up at Lily with what could only be called a an amused expression exclaimed –

"Lillykins, how nice of you to…" he started

"JAMES POTTER." Lily said in a deadly threatening voice "IF YOU DON'T TAKE THIS IMATURE PRANK OFF RASCAL…" she warned letting her threat hang.

"You'll what?" James asked calmly considering he was remembering the last time Sirius had joined him in a practical joke that centered around Lily. They had dropped an enchanted dung bomb on Lily during lunch. He wondered if Sirius had ever gotten the green go out of his bag. James was now rethinking the intelligence of this way of getting her to talk to him. "Give me a detention? I can get enough of those on my…"

James was interrupted when Lily's palm connected solidly with the side of his head.

"OUCH!" James yelped rubbing his now smarting cheek.

"GIVE ME THE COUNTER CURSE." Lily demanded angrily, her cheeks pink from yelling.

"No" James replied calmly considering his thoughts, slowly got up and came slowly towards Lily.

"No!" Lily replied furiously, although Rascal shifted uncomfortably and began hissing as James came closer - Lily did not appear to notice. "No?" she repeated "WHY IN HOGWARTS NAME NOT?" Lily yelled loudly.

"I will not give you the counter unless you agree to go with me to the hogsmeade this weekend."

Remus and Sirius (who had heard the whole conversation from their hiding spot on the stairs landing) exchanged amused and exasperated glances.

Well we knew she was planning his funeral since first year…" Sirius started finding a more comfortable position on the landing while still keeping the arguing pair in sight.

"Now we'll have a corpse to put in it" Remus finished.

(A/N: Well how did you like it? Please review I want to know if I should write more. Besides … Lils has to kill James. Due to many helpful comments made by reviewers I've decided to take this story out of italics.)
