A/N: Hey :) This is a collaboration story, myself and a friend will be alternating each chapter. Hope you like it!

The time has arrived, the moment of truth. The moment where Gryffindor would show up Slytherin once and for all. Though I am not supposed to know about it, not according to the rest of the Slytherins anyway – huh, that's what they know!

Anyway, I really need to stop getting distracted! Back to the story.

James walks into the great hall barely suppressing a grin, closely followed by Fred, Blake and Gordon all with smiles tugging at the edges of their mouths. I glance up from my conversation on the Slytherin table with my friend Emily to catch James give me a smile and a quick wink.
Ugh, that boy has no subtlety at all! I peer around anxiously to see if anyone had seen the quick communication between me and my prat of a brother but all seemed calm so I breathe a sigh of relief.

For the next few minutes I eat my dinner in silence before giving up the act and craning my neck over to the Gryffindor table to see what was taking them so long. Maybe their prank wasn't ready? Maybe they had gotten caught? MAYBE THE PRANK WENT HORRIBLY WRONG AND THESE WERE CLONES OF THE BOYS AND THEIR REAL SELVES WERE ACTUALLY STUCK IN A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE AND WERE GETTING EATEN BY GIANT FLESH EATING SOCK PUPPETS WHO CRAVED NOTHING MORE THAN THE SWEET TASTE OF ADOLESCENT BOY'S EARLOBES FOR DINNER? Okay, I must admit that the last one was a little farfetched – but anything as far as I know anything could've happened!

Suddenly a flash of blonde by the door catches my eye and I jerk my head towards the entrance of the great hall to see the gigantic air-filled head of Scorpius Malfoy teetering precariously on top of the rest of his body as he struts toward the Slytherin table. A few steps behind is the very person which makes the majority of the female population of Slytherin sigh and gaze longingly, the one and only Theodore Nott.

I try and hide the flicker of annoyance which crosses my face as Scorpius takes the empty seat across the table from me, next to Emily but hurriedly hide my face as heat rushes to it when Theodore takes the seat next to me.

"Potter," Scorpius smiles a greeting across the table to me before acknowledging Emily's presence. "Parkinson," he adds with a nod toward Emily.

"Hi-Scorpius-I-haven't-seen-you-in-so-long-how-have-you-been?" Emily gushes in one quick sentence while batting her eyelashes. It is no secret to anyone in Hogwarts that Emily Parkinson has a humungous crush on Scorpius Malfoy, heck even the teachers know it! The only person that doesn't seem to believe it is Scorpius himself, yet how thick he must need to be to not pick up the hints, I do not know.

Throughout the exchange however Theodore grins and turns to me saying,

"Lily darling! How have you been? I haven't seen you around in a while – your brothers haven't been giving you a hard time lately have they?" His face hardens at the last part but the fact that he called me 'darling' did not escape the ears of his ever loyal (and slightly perverted) fan club who glance up from their conversation to shoot daggers at me, giving me reason to smirk. Though I have to say – I am pretty used to it. Since the night of the sorting where my 11 year old self was sorted into Slytherin, Scorpius and Theodore had pretty much taken me under their wing and protected me. The two boys were 14 then and now three years later they are still beside me when I need them. I feel like a traitor in a way, mainly because my Slytherin friends trust me, not knowing that I am passing on all their prank ideas and plans to my Gryffindor brothers and their friend, therefore giving Gryffindor the upper hand. It is quite amusing to see Scorpius' face when the Gryffindors play the same prank on him and the other Slytherins, which Scorpius and Theodore had been planning just the day before!

But don't get me wrong, he deserves it. The dirty little player.

I know all of this makes me sound a little shady, but please don't judge. I have grown up with James and Albus' continuous slandering of the Slytherins, and from what I've heard about my dad's whole hero story – the Slytherins don't sound like the most pleasant lot. Of course that's not actually true, they are perfectly civil to one another and are severely over judged. Yet there is this passion inside me to prove myself to my abnormally large family, and combined with the pleasure I get to watch Malfoy suffer is more than enough reason for me to be a spy.

My eyes flicker over to the watch on Theodore's wrist which reads 8:14 and glance over to James and his posse where James has been trying to catch my eye. With a slight nod from James I rise from my seat, muttering something about a headache and going back to the dormitories.

Emily immediately pushes her plate away and insists she will come with me and I shrug in response, following her toward the door of the Great Hall.

Though before I can leave Theodore catches my arm saying,

"Lil, are you alright?"

I can see the concern in his eyes which brings a warm feeling in my veins, but I shrug my shoulders noncommittally and continue on my way.

Barely five seconds pass since Emily and I exit the Great Hall before an explosion rocks the ground resulting in both of us tripping over each other and landing on the ground in a tangled mess. Giggling like the fourteen year old school girls that we are, we untangle ourselves and sprint down to the dungeons and skid to a halt at a door to our right.

In reality it is actually a very beautiful door, made from ivory wood with green vines twisted artfully around the edges, bathed in an emerald glow giving it an eerie appearance. At the bottom left-hand corner was one green leaf from a lavender plant, and when plucked the leaf was illuminated until the correct password was given. Once the leaf is plucked another instantly grows back to take the previous one's place. It looks so old and worn, like it had been there since the dawn of time, but my dad told me they only built it after the Wizarding War at Hogwarts had ruined the original.

Though no matter how beautiful the door was Emily and I barely noticed it as she plucks the lavender leaf and mutters 'basilisk' and we threw ourselves into the common room. It is lucky that the common room is empty since everyone is at dinner, or else our appearance may have sparked some suspicion. After a moment we pick ourselves off the floor and make our way to the fourth year girls' dormitories where we collapse onto our beds in fits of laughter.

Emily Parkinson was my best friend, one of my only Slytherin friends, and THE only Slytherin friend to know of my secret allegiance to Gryffindor. When I had told her about my plan to be the 'Gryffindor Spy' she had cackled evilly, and insisted that she would help me out and be my assistant. I had readily agreed and unbeknownst to both of us, we would stay best friends from that day forward.

A few minutes later the thundering noise of all the Slytherins marching back to the common room reaches our ears and I walk down to meet them, with Emily trailing a step behind. The raised voices of some of our fellow Slytherins complaining about the prank makes me grin but I cover it up quickly.

As expected Scorpius and Theodore strut over to where Emily and I are lounging about on a couch and plunge straight into the atrocities of the most recent prank by the Gryffindors.

"... And they had the audacity to sit there and laugh! Those stupid, stuck up, little Gryffindors! I swear I'm going to wipe that annoying smirk right off their faces." Scorpius' mutterings went on for quite a few minutes before I focused my attention back onto Theodore.

"So right after you left..." Teddy began his rant but I soon I was not even listening to what he was saying, but instead staring at his perfect eyes, light brown with flecks of gold half hidden by his bangs.

Bringing myself back down to earth I heard Teddy saying,

"And then right when I picked up my fork-"

Scorpius took the liberty of completing Theodore's sentence, a common occurrence in their conversations,

"-the chicken exploded right in my face!"

"So first I thought it was just the chicken-"

"-But then the peas too!"

"Soon everything was exploding right and left-"

"-Until we tried to get out of our seats-"

"-But we couldn't!"

"So we had to sit there-"

"-Whilst everything just exploded in our faces-"

"-And all the other houses just sat at their stupid little tables-"

"-With stupid little smirks-"

"-Laughing their stupid little laughs-"

"-And I just wanted to punch their stupid little faces!" Teddy finally completes his thorough detail of the dinner time entertainment before Emily and I burst out laughing. This had definitely been the best prank so far, and I make a mental note to congratulate James and his friends whenever I see them next.

It is moments like these when I am glad that my family hadn't shunned me when I was sorted into Slytherin and I remember how lucky I am to have such a great family.

And if this had been the first prank of the year, I sure as hell can't wait for the rest of them!
