Chapter 1

"This will teach those bastards to play tricks on me." Severus mumbled under his breath. He took out his wand and tapped the fire underneath the cauldron. It went out and the potion stopped bubbling and turned crystal clear. He smirked as he looked back into his book. He succeeded in making the potion.

Severus jumped as someone knocked on the door to the Slytherin boy's dormitory. They knocked three times and waited for an answer. He knew right away who it was. It was Alan, his best friend and fellow Slytherin. Severus walked over to the door and let him in.

"Is it finished yet?" Alan asked. Severus nodded showing him the potion and looking very pleased with himself. "Good."

"So when do you think we should give it to them?" Severus asked.

"How about tomorrow during dinner? Also, I think we should give some to that mudblood."

"You mean Evans?" Alan nodded. Severus hesitated a bit and then agreed.

"So how is your arm?" Alan looked at Severus's bandaged arm.

"Fine. I'll get my revenge soon enough. They will pay for what they did."

"I still don't understand what he said to make you go near the Whomping Willow." Severus looked away from him and stared back at the potion. He was under Dumbledore's orders to not tell anyone what he saw that night. He took out two small tubes and filled them with the clear substance and closed them tightly. He handed one to Alan and slipped the other one in his pocket. He couldn't wait to see his plan in action.

The potion that he made was an extremely difficult one to make but Severus had managed to make it. It was flavorless and could be mixed with any drink. It would make the person who drank it do things that they would never normally do and not care about what anyone thought. It would make them seem drunk. Severus couldn't wait to see what stupid things Black would do once he drank the potion.

"You lose...again!" yelled James as his queen smashed Lily's king.

"Shut up!" Lily yelled throwing a pillow in James's face. James just laughed and let her hit him with the pillow.

"You are too weak to hurt me, Ev – Ow! She bit me!"

"Will you two love birds go get a room or something?" Sirius yelled from the other side of the room. He and Remus were pouring over something and Lily had a strange feeling that it wasn't schoolwork. He turned his back to them again and began to talk in whispers.

Lily saw her best friend, Clover, come down from their dormitory. She looked over at Remus and Sirius and sneaked up behind them. She slowly moved her head in between them and then said loudly, "Watcha workin' on?" Sirius and Remus jumped and Remus stuffed something into his pocket. Clover laughed and sat down next to Lily.

"I wonder what they're working on." Lily said.

"Probably another way to sabotage the Slytherins." Clover said coolly as she watched Remus take out the paper again and point his wand at it muttering something under his breath. James joined them and all three of them were staring at the paper now. A loud "bang!" made Lily and Clover jump. Remus was yelling at Sirius and Sirius was laughing while James poured water out of his wand onto the now flaming piece of paper.

"Common. Lets go, before they blow up the entire common room." Lily said grabbing Clover's arm and pulling her up the stairs.

Clover and Lily had to climb six short flights of stairs before reaching the door to their dormitory, which had a sign on it that said "7th years". Lily flopped down onto her bed and Clover went over to the mirror and began to brush her hair.

"You know, I think James likes you." Clover said out of nowhere, now looking at Lily.

"He's a moron. I mean you've seen him, strutting around school, jinxing anyone who looks at him funny, thinking that he can get whatever girl he wants..."

"Which is true for the most part." Clover cut in as she pulled her light brown hair into a ponytail. "Its true." She added seeing Lily stare back at her with her bright green eyes.

"He is cute but I still stand by what I said earlier."

"You know, we've been at Hogwarts for almost two weeks now and I still haven't seen him jinx anyone. Maybe he's changed, you know, deflated his head a bit." Lily looked back a Clover with a look that clearly said, "I don't believe you." Clover shrugged and kept brushing her hair. Lily sprawled out on her bed and thought to herself, what if James really has changed? I mean, he is cute, and popular, and he's really funny. He's nice for the most part even though he can be a jerk sometimes. But I don't want to be another one of those girls that he just dates for a week and then dumps them. Then the other voice in her head repeated to her again what if James really has changed?

It was time for Snape and Alan to put their plan in action. They were the first to come in for dinner. Severus went over to the seat where the marauders always sat and took out his small glass tube that was filled with the potion. He put two small drops in each of the four cups, he only need to put a small bit of the potion in the cup. He saw Alan come back signaling that he put some in Lily's cup also. They both laughed and sat down at their own house table.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter in tow, came into the Great Hall about five minutes after dinner had started. They sat down in the exact same places that they always did, which was good news for Severus and Alan who were carefully watching them. Sirius and James sat next to each other and Remus and Peter sat across from them. Lily sat three chairs away from them with her best friend Clover at her side. So far everything was going according to plan. They weren't watching Lily, she wasn't as important to make a fool of as the marauders were. She left after ten minutes with her friend. Snape and Alan assumed she drank the potion. They wouldn't see any results right away because the potion took thirty minutes to start working.

After eating and talking for almost half an hour, the marauders had not yet taken a drink out of their cups and Severus and Alan were getting very irritated. Severus couldn't take it any longer. He shot a spell at the four of them to make them extremely thirsty. As soon as the spell hit them James, Remus, and Peter each grabbed a pitcher filled with juice and started to drink it down in huge gulps. Sirius who wasn't fast enough to grab a pitcher took a long drink from his cup.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Lily and Clover walked into the Great Hall talking and took at seat where they normally sat. (A/N: This is happening at the same time that the Marauders are eating). Lily was in deep conversation and grabbed a pitcher and poured herself juice. She ate a little bit and put her food down. Clover looked at her. "Not hungry?" She asked, "Nope." Said Lily running her fork through her mashed potatoes. Lily was about to take a sip of her drink but when she looked down into her cup she saw it was orange.

"Oh shoot." Lily said. "I poured myself orange juice instead of apple juice again."

"Here, "said Clover switching cups. "You can have mine. I don't mind orange juice." Clover took a long drink from the cup and then she and Lily got up and went back to their dormitory,
