Lily and James and Other Thangs
Chapter 1: The prank
****************************
"Excuse me, do I have everybody's attention?" called Albus Dumbledore from the staff table. The entire great hall hushed at once. "Thank you. I would just like to inform you all that a Hogsmeade (sp?) trip is tonight, but we forgot to post it up. Thank you."
Lily squealed and shook her best friend Abi around the shoulders. She had dark brown hair and dark eyes. Lily thought she was the best friend anybody could ever have. "Did you hear that? I can't wait!!! I am like sooo excited!!!" she said. It was going to be their first time there since they were both third years.
Abi was also excited. "I know, I know!" she said. "I need more clothes. This will be perfect!"
Because of this exciting announcement Lily could hardly concentrate in Transfiguration. Instead of turning her parchment into a butterfly it became a cockroach. ("5 points from Gryffindor," the professor had said.) but Lily didn't care. Finally, it was time to leave. She grabbed some galleons and joined Abi on the Hogwarts Express. They were sitting there when all of a sudden the door was open and the "jerks" as called by Lily and Abi were there. The "jerks" were Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and sometimes Peter Pettigrew. Today it was just James, Remus, and Sirius. They were *the* most popular guys among the third years but they were all jerks in Lily's opinion. Every day people were talking about who James is dating and what James is doing. James, James, James. She was sick of it. She didn't exactly care for his messy hair. Sirius was the same way. Now, Lily was at least a little attracted to him, at least he combed his hair and he had a sparkling smile, but she still didn't like him because he had at least three girlfriends a week. Remus was quit and shy and Lily wondered why they even dragged him around everywhere. And he wasn't that good looking.
"Can we sit here?" Sirius asked and flashed a smile towards them. "All the other seats are taken and our girlfriends decided to have the whole compartment to themselves."
"Fine," said Lily and moved over so that there was more room. James sat right next to her.
"So!" he said, trying to make a conversation. "What are you two doing today?"
The girls shrugged. "Nothing," said Abi.
"We aren't really either," said Sirius. There was a pause. Then he said, "Oh yeah, have any of you heard of the dance floor they're opening in Hogsmeade?"
"Really?" said Lily. That sounded fun. He got the same response from James and Remus, who looked surprised. He must not have told them.
"Yeah, I heard about it from my other friend, well you all don't know him. He said it's supposed to be really cool, and it's opening sometime this month."
"Really," said James and he gave a cheesy smile and raised his eyebrows. It was always common knowledge that he had this huge crush over Rachael Smith in Hufflepuff.
Lily looked away. "He's always so cocky like that," she thought. "Gosh can't he ever go anywhere without a girlfriend?" apparently Abi was thinking the same thing judging by the look of disgust on her face.
Then Remus said, "Well shouldn't we be discussing our little prank on Lucy?"
"Lucy?" said Lily blankly.
"Haven't you heard yet? Lucius Malfoy," explained Sirius. "You know, that scum bag of Slytherin who thinks he's cool but he's not. We just call him Lucy."
Lily and Abi began to giggle. "What are you going to do to him?" asked Abi.
"Well, we were thinking about this whole Lucy thing," said James maliciously. "Why can't he ACTUALLY be Lucy? So we have been making a potion that will turn him into a girl. It'll like make his hair longer and give him a girl's voice AND give him tons of girl clothes including the certain underthings."
"Oh my gosh!!!!!" said Lily and Abi. "How are you going to make him drink it?" asked Lily.
"We were thinking about putting some in his little goblet at the Halloween feast tomorrow," said Sirius wickedly. "That way everybody would be there to see his new look." The three boys laughed.
"It'll last him a whole month," Remus managed to choke out. "It'll be so funny! But you can't tell anyone about it, of course everybody knows in Gryffindor just not anybody else. This will be classic!"
Just then, the train slowed down to a halt and they departed, still giggling.
