Okay. Just... Just calm down. Raise your wand and...

BANG!

Oh, bloody hell. What was that?

BANG!

God, you can't get a moment of peace with those four jokers around. Now what were they up to?

I throw my Transfiguration book down and head off towards the boys' dormitory. As I push the door open...

BANG!

Oh, Merlin. There goes my jumper. That was one one my best jumpers! Those bloody idiots are going to pay.

"JAMES! WHAT IN THE NAME OF MY BEST JUMPER ARE YOU DOING?!"

That idiot turns to me. "Now, Lily..."

"Don't you "Now, Lily" me! You just ruined my best jumper! I used to go to Hogsemeade in that! And now I'll be shivering for the rest of my life THANKS TO YOU!"

Maybe I was a little dramatic. But a jumper owner's gotta do what a jumper owner's gotta do.

James holds up a hand. "Listen, Lily. This is just an experiment that went wrong. Right?"

The other three Marauders nod in unison. Bloody gits...

As I roll my eyes, James looks at me pleadingly. "Lily?... It was just a few explosions. And I'll buy you a jumper."

I perk up at this. James might be an idiot, but he sure knows how to get the best.

I raise an eyebrow at him. "You buy me a jumper... And you give me your scarf."

He falls on his knees. "My scarf? But, Lily..."

I grin at him. Ah, it's nice to be the one in control. And also to be the one not to ignore the fact that Sirius Black has whipped out his camera and is now pointing it at James. "Oy, Black! Put that hunk of plastic away!" He shrugs an does so.

James has leapt up from the floor. "If you get a jumper and my scarf, you also get to tell McGonagall why you have not finished your homework." He waves his wand and my homework papers come floating up to his hand.

That bloody cheater.

I jump at him. He simply waves the papers in my face. I glare after him.

Okay, Lily. Think. What can you steal from this bloke?

My eyes fall upon a very stylish looking broomstick in the corner. Hmm...

I pull out my wand and shout "Accio Nimbus 1700!" making sure that he hears it it.

He does. Screaming, he tries to hold on to it. But no such luck. Muhaha. Charms beats all!

I wave the broom in his face. "You give me my papers back and I won't burn your precious broomstick!" I put my wand against it for good measure.

He looks at it and pouts. "Come on, Lily. You won't really do that, will you?"

I just wave it some more.

Then he sighs. "Fine, you win." Then he walks over to me and brushes against me slightly. Then he triumphantly holds up my quill. "But not without this!" He grins.

I gasp. "That is just low, Potter."

"So is stealing my broomstick."

"So is destroying my jumper." I shoot back.

"Okay, Evans. Here's the deal. I buy you a jumper and you help me with my Charms homework. I'm rubbish at it."

"I get a jumper and your scarf." I retort.

"Fine. But then I get to play a prank."

"Over my dead body."

"What if it's on that that idiot Corner?"

Hm.

"Listening now, are we? It's sorted then. Win-win."

I grin at him. Corner is an arrogant toerag. A lot like James before he deflated that head off his, but much worse.

"You've got yourself a deal." I tell him as I walk up to him. Then I snatch his notebook. "But not without this!"

"LILY!"

THE END
