Chapter 1: The Food Fight
Summary: What happens when Lily catches on to the Marauders big secret? James gets to serve Lily for two weeks! How will this effect their relationship?
A/N: This is my first fanfic, so bear with me, folks! R&R!
Lily was eating dinner when happened. She was reading one of her favorite books, Hogwarts, A History. When she finished, she got up, still reading. She was making her way towards the doors when she tripped over Potter's foot and landed in Slytherin Narcissa Black's pudding.
Narcissa was so mad at her destroyed pudding and so filled with hatred at Lily that she yanked Lily out of the pudding by her hair.
Lily was so pissed at Potter for "accidentally" tripping her for the second time this week, that she scooped some pudding off her face and threw it at Potter.
"Food Fight!" shouted Black as he stuffed some of his pudding in Lupin's face.
Lily tried to run out before she got blamed or messier, but Professor McGonagall caught her.
"Miss Evans!" she yelled as she walked swiftly out of the Great Hall (Professor McGonagall never ran). It was miraculous, considering the sound that was coming from the Hall, that she was as clean as a whistle. Oh Shit.
"Miss Evans, I saw the whole thing! 10 points from Gryffindor and a detention with me on Monday!"
"But Professor, it wasn't all my fault! Potter tripped me! Black called the food fight!" Lily retorted.
"Miss Evans, 10 more points for that ungrateful tone! Mr. Potter and Mr. Black will be joining you, don't you fret!" snapped the Professor, " Good day, Miss Evans, I've got some business to attend to!"
She turned around and just a swiftly walked back into the Great Hall.
"Mr. Lestrange!" Lily could hear her shouting, "Put down that meatloaf!"
Lily turned around and started walking toward Gryffindor tower. On the way there, she bumped into Potter coming out of a classroom.
"Potter! Where did you come from?" As soon as Lily said it, she realized how stupid the question was.
"I'm a Marauder. Isn't that all you need to know?" It was rumored that the Marauders knew every single secret passageway there was to be found on the Hogwarts campus.
"Have you talked to McGonagall yet?"
"No. Detention Right?"
"You deserve it you arse!" Whoa. That was the first time Lily had said a cuss word out loud. It felt good.
Potter was amazed (and scared, though he'd never admit it). "Is that the sign of the apocalypse? Wow, you must be really pissed!"
"No kidding, son of a bitch! Now run, before I curse you to the moon! Go!
He ran for his life. Lily had cursed him bad before, and she hadn't been nearly as pissed. Maybe it was PMS.
Lily was scared to. Again, she had never cussed before, and that was a sign she was getting bitter. She was not surprised. She had no friends, but many enemies. She was the smartest witch in the seventh year, which made her even more unpopular.
Her relationship with James Potter grew from him loving her and her hating him to a mutual hate relationship. She actually was sad to not have him going after her still. The old Potter was so much better than the new one, the one who hated her and got her into trouble all the time. She was never in detention before Potter started hating her in sixth year, but since then, she's been in detention every week. Potter was even Head Boy to her Head Girl, but he got them both kicked out of office and replaced within the first month of the year.
His friends, the Marauders, were not much better. Sirius Black, being Potter's best friend, hated her too, and often participated in the planning of the pranks pulled on her. Peter Pettigrew, another Marauder, also hated her, but it was because he was wet and worshiped the ground Potter and Black walked on. Remus Lupin, however, was a different story. Even though he didn't stick up for her, he didn't participate in the planning against her, and she liked him for it. He probably would have been her friend if he wasn't too busy reading and hanging out with the rest of the Marauders.
She walked back to the common room to find that the Marauders were, once again, hiding in the corner, talking in hushed voices. In the past few weeks it had become a hobby of hers to eavesdrop on these secret conversations. She had avoided a load of traps that way, since that was usually what they were talking about.
She ran up to her dormitory and performed the Disillusionment Charm on herself. She creeped back down the stairs and stood in the spot she found was the best for her hobby.
"... Monday's a full moon," Potter was whispering, "Me and Padfoot are going to miss it."
"Just bring the cloak and sneak down when you're done," said Remus, "you guys have to come,"
"We'll meet you there at midnight. Start without us. If we miss detention with McGonagall she'll come up with something worse for us," whispered Black.
"How am I gonna control Moony?" squeaked Pettigrew, a little too loudly, "He'll kill me for sure, I'm just a rat," Right you are.
"Shhh, keep it down, nosy Evans might hear you," whispered Potter. So it is a prank!
"We'll be there after midnight. If you want you don't have to go until we do," said Black, "We can pick you up in the common room. OK?"
Lily could tell they would be leaving soon. They would find her. She ran up to her common room to dis-Disillusion herself. Then she came down to sit by the fire and read the rest of Hogwarts, A History.
A/N: Again, this is my first fanfic, so you know you want to review!
