: Chapter 1 : Deal :
Lily Evans sat on the roof of her house, watching the dark sky slowly getting brighter. Alongside of her were her two best friends, Melanie and Jasmine. All 3 girls were silent as they watched the sun rise up. The moment was broken once Jasmine opened her mouth.
"sigh This is so romantic. Too bad you guys aren't…well…guys." Lily gave her an awkward look.
"Yeah…if only Frank were here…" Melanie sighed. Frank was her boyfriend. Melanie had, had many boyfriends in the past, but none lasted more than a month or two. She seemed to always find at least one thing wrong with the guy that made her want to get away from him.
"Oh come on…we don't need guys in our lives to make us happy. We have each other." Lily said and just realized how corny that sounded.
"Um…that's real sweet and all, Lils, but you wouldn't be saying that if you had someone to snog." Melanie smiled.
"Yeah right…like any guy would want to go out with me." Lily said. She wasn't fishing for compliments; this was what she really thought.
"Nu uh! With a little make-up and some clothes that actually fit you, I think guys would be hexing each other to get to you." Melanie said
"She doesn't need all that. She already has James Potter going after her since the 1st year. He likes you just the way you are." Jasmine winked at her for her luck. Lily just rolled her eyes.
"Please, he just sees me as another of those trophies he so desperately needs to finish his collection of bimbos." Lily said bitterly.
"Ladies! Time to wake up!" Lily's mum shouted from downstairs. The girls scrambled in through the window, got dressed and left for platform 9 ¾
In The Hogwarts Express
The girls were chatting it up in their own compartment when suddenly the door flung open.
"Ladies, may we join you?" Sirius said, smiling the same smile that would usually melt any girl within a 10ft radius.
"No," Jasmine said, quickly. Sirius pretended to be hurt.
"Wow…tough crowd." He said to James and took a seat in between Jasmine and Melanie. Remus and James poked their head into the compartment as well.
"Evans!" James exclaimed when he saw her in the compartment. He quickly took a seat next to her. "So Hogsmeade…I'm thinking you, me, strolling under the stars as I buy you some butterbeer as we talk about Gryffindor winning the quidditch cup last term."
Remus looked down and shook his head while Lily rolled her eyes.
"Potter, I rather chew off my right hand then spend a day at Hogsmeade with you." Lily said, glaring at him.
"Aw…you're too sweet, Evans." James said and smiled at her.
"You guys! It's coming! Shut the door!" Peter Pettigrew ran into the compartment, shoved Remus out of the way so that he fell on Melanie, and took a seat next to James.
"What? What's happening?" Jasmine said
"What would give you the idea that something was happening?" Sirius asked her and gave her an innocent look.
"What? Don't you guys remember that we set off the dung bombs on the trolly so the smell would travel around the train? Hello?" Peter said. Remus slapped his forehead, Sirius glared at Peter and James smiled innocently at Lily.
"WHAT?" The three girls cried out.
"Don't get your knickers all tied in a bunch. It was just a little bit of fun." Sirius replied as if this were completely normal.
"Well, Fun is going to be the last thing on your mind this year seeing as I'm Head Girl and I've got to end all this rubbish." Lily said, opening the door but quickly shutting it again when the foul odor reached her nose.
"Well, what do you know…our very own Lilian Evans has made Head Girl," Sirius smiled mischievously.
"Are you really that surprised? I knew she'd make it since 1st year." Jasmine replied and gave Sirius a weird look.
"Well…it just so happens that my Prongsie here has also made Head Boy" He said and put his arm around James.
Lily's worst nightmare has became a reality as she watched James try to contain his excitement about them working together.
"Pity. I'd expected more from the Head Boy. You know, someone who doesn't going around the school pulling childish pranks with his little buddies." Lily glared at James.
"You know what you girls need?" Sirius said.
"Do we want to know?" Melanie said, trying to be annoyed but really couldn't.
James was busy trying to hold Lily's hand but each time he touched it, she'd pull it away as quick as possible, which was no use because once she set it back down, he'd just try again and again and again…
"You girls need to take that big stick out of your arses, and just have some fun. Stop being such goody-goods and live life, one prank after another. I mean honestly, all you ladies do all day is study, study, and then study some more" Sirius said as Jasmine and Melanie shot death glares at him. Jasmine was about to explode on Sirius when Remus cut in.
"What my dear, naïve, stupid friend here is trying to say is that maybe you just need to relax a bit." Remus said. He was always the civilized one.
"Relax!" Lily said, pulling her hand away from James again. "I AM RELAXED!" she shouted and punched James on the arm, which probably didn't hurt too much.
The train suddenly stopped.
"Finally!" Jasmine said and the three girls rushed out of the train, trying to get away fro the boys as fast as possible.
"Don't listen to them, they really love us deep down." Sirius said and patted James on the back.
in the common room
It was late at night. The Common Room was empty except for Melanie, Jasmine, and Lily. Jasmine was playing with Melanie's hair while Lily was reading a book when all of a sudden the portrait swung open.
"Look fellas! It's your number one fans!" Peter said, mockingly while Remus hit him upside the head.
"Oh come on, Ladies. Lighten up. It was one prank." Sirius said, sitting next to them.
"Really? One little prank?" Jasmine said, glaring at Sirius. Sirius just nodded. All of sudden, Filch's scream echoed down the hall as you could hear him running into a big pile of buckets.
The boys erupted in a fit of laughter as the girls glared at them.
"C'mon, you have to admit that that was a LITTLE funny." James said
"Did you find that funny, Melanie?" Lily asked her.
"No. How bout you, Jas?" Melanie asked Jasmine. Jasmine just shook her head sideways.
"Honestly…you lot are so scared of getting into trouble, you wouldn't put one toe out of line." Sirius said, shaking his head.
"What? Who said we were scared?" Jasmine said defensively. Sirius just raised an eyebrow. "We could be annoying little prats like you lot, but we just chose not to."
"Really? Is that so?" Sirius said, smiling mischievously. "I feel a wager coming on."
The girls looked at each other confused.
"We will write down a list of dares/pranks that you ladies have to do and you guys get 3 weeks to prove us that you guys aren't a bunch of goody two shoes." Sirius said and smiled.
Lily scoffed. "What would make you think we'd go for something so ridiculous like th—" but she was cut off.
"You're on" Jasmine said, glaring at Sirius. Jasmine was always up for proving people wrong. She was indeed, a very tough girl.
"Brilliant" James said, putting his arm around Lily. Lily stared at Jasmine dumbfounded.
"No!" Lily said, standing up. "Maybe you guys have forgotten, but I'm head girl! I can't go around pulling pranks!" Jasmine didn't know what to say. Lily was right.
"Well…while we're out wrecking havoc and whatnot, you lot can be perfect little angels. No pranks for 3 weeks." Melanie said and smiled innocently.
The boys' jaws dropped. The girls now grinned at each other.
"If we win, and go through with all your little pranks, you guys will have to be our slaves for the rest of the year." Lily said.
"Well, if we go 3 weeks without pranks, Lily has to go out with me." James said and smiled. Lily's jaw dropped. She was about to protest when Jasmine said.
"Fine. But then you guys have to make-up with Severus." She smiled wickedly.
"Oh…you guys are evil." Sirius said and glared at Jasmine. "Then you guys also have to be our slaves and admit that you guys are secretly, madly in love with us."
"Ugh, fine. Whatever" Melanie said and shook Remus's hand. Jasmine took Sirius hand and squeezed it hard and watched as he tried to wriggle his hand free. Lily hesitantly was about to shake James hand, but then changed her mind and shook Peters.
"Ouch, Prongs." Sirius said and patted his friend on the back.
"Okay girls, Let the games begin." James said and smiled at Lily who looked unsure about this.
