*~*~~*~*The Ball*~*~~*~*
As her red hair flared behind her, Lily Evans ran out of the Hogwarts corridor into the Gryffendor common room.
'Oooo I hate him! I hate him! I hate h-' Lily was interrupted by one of her best friends, Sirius Black.
'Lily, Lily, Lily. What did poor Prongs do this time?'
'Sorry Sirius. Oh and why do you guys call him 'Prongs?'
Sirius just mumbled something and turned a light shade of red.
Lily sensed he was uncomfortable and dropped it.
'Can you believe James? I mean he has to keep pulling pranks on me.. and in front of *Matt Kunner* too.'
Matt Kunner is Lily's 'to-be' boyfriend.
'Aww.. poor baby' Sirius said in a sarcastic tone.
Then, James walked in. Lily gave him a death stare.
'Oh Lily, get off it. It was only a joke. You do the same to me every other day.'
Lily stopped to think. They always were friends.. just a little pranks in between.
'Fine' She mumbled and offered her hand for truce. He took it.
'Aww.. how sweet' James and Lily just rolled their eyes.
'Sorry to cut in the romance *more eyes rolling*, but if we don't get to charms now then we will be spending another evening in detention in addition to our month's work.' Jenny said in a very teacher-like voice.
They all agreed and rushed out.
They were late.
'Ms. Evans, Ms. Pril, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Black, you are late.' He said 'late' with a spat of disgust.
'I'm sorry Professor Kaplan, we.. were.. err..' James wasn't able to finish his sentence.
*Think, C'mon.. this isn't the first time..*
They were saved by Lily..
'Well, Professor, I fell, and James, Sirius, and jenny helped me up'
..Or were they..
'All *3* of them?'
'No sir.. see.. I helped her up.. and…I ..'-
'All of you detention.'
All except for Sirius looked disappointed. Sirius.. looked relieved!
Lily took a seat next to Remus Lupin, whom she noticed sneered. She just smiled. James sat next to Peter Pettigrew who whistled looking the other way. Jenny sat next to Elizabeth who mouthed 'What happened?' The seven of them were sort of like... a group. They all usually do pranks, and usually it's on each other. They were widely known throughout the school; especially at Professor Dumbledore's office.
Professor Kaplan started the lesson and Lily listened intently. She loved Charms and wasn't too bad at it either.
Well, as all things come to an end, so did this lesson (much to Remus's surprise). It was time for lunch, Sirius's favorite lesson.
'You guys.. why were you late? Any.. pranks? Elizabeth asked in a very annoying tone.
'Only one that made *goo goo eyes* Matt Kunner dislike Lily' James said in a girly voice.
'Stuff it'
'You guys, I just found out my sister is on her death bed. I'm gonna have to visit her tonight.' Remus said.
The boys seemed to understand and didn't question why for the past year all of Remus's possible family members have been on their death beds. Jenny though.. did.
'Again? Wasn't she already on her death bed two moths ago?'
'Shh…. Jenny' Peter tried to shush her, but Jenny was determined.
This time her voice was louder, and drew a bit more attention.
'No, really. I mean is there something medically wrong with your family?'
This time it wasn't only Peter who tried shushing Jenny; James and Sirius tried helping also. Remus flushed and shrugged. He suddenly found his peas and mashed potatoes very interesting.
The subject was changed when Professor McGonnagall spoke up.
'Students, I have some good news and some bad news…. The bad news first. Professor Dumbledore is ill, very ill and the Ministry of Magic-' she stopped herself. She decided against her words. She did not want the school to be worried. 'We all pray and hope that he will recover' she continued soberly.
A sudden rush of whispers ran along the school.
Sirius whispered 'and on that happy note.. ' in a sarcastic way. He earned a light smack on the cheek by Lily.
'Now, for the good news. There will be a ball'
More whispers…
'On March 30 get ready to pare up. That gives you a month to prepare.'
There were banging and clapping, and for a moment there wasn't even sadness for Dumbledore.
'Just think. A ball, I don't think Hogwarts has ever had a ball before.' Remus said gleefully, while eying some of the girls on the other tables.
James and Sirius exchanged looks of disgust.
'Tsk tsk! Well, they surely don't expect li'l ol' me to go dancing.' Sirius had said the word 'dancing' as if it were cursed.
'Of course not, but they expect me too.' James said
'C'mon guys, it'll be fun.' Lily said while searching for Matt. She found him flirting with some girls.
'He's probably gotten a date bye now…' Lily thought out loud.
*Sigh*
'You still on him, girl?' Elizabeth asked.
She just couldn't stand that fifth years eyes when they caught up with Matt Kunner.
'You certainly can do better than that, can't you?' James asked.
'Why do you care?' Lily snapped. Her temper was getting the best of her again.
'I don't' James said quietly, regretting his last few words.
*~*~~*~~*~*
'Guess what?' Elizabeth came in the common room eagerly.
'Oh. My. G-d. Gilderoy Lockhart asked you out.. Oh my G-d……' Sirius said mockingly.
'You wish. But you won't believe who asked me to go to Hogsmeade with!'
'You know… you are probably right, but I have the feeling you are going to tell us' Remus said. He just got back 'from visiting his sister'.
'Daniel.. uh.. what's-his-name..'
'Daniel??' Jenny screeched.
James just couldn't resist. '*That* Daniel? He really asked you? Whoa! You go girlfriend.'
Elizabeth didn't realize this was coming from James and let her enthusiasm get higher.
'Are you going?' Jenny asked jealously.
'Duh!'
The boys just looked at each other. They knew where this conversation was going. So, they decided to start their own.
'Do you have the map?' Wormtail asked.
Padfoot took out a piece of parchment from his pocket cautiously.
'Right here.' And handed it to Prongs.
'Did you come up with a good password?' Moony asked Prongs.
Prongs grinned from ear to ear. 'Yep!'
Prongs waved his wand, and slowly said to the parchment 'I solemnly swear I am up to no good.'
Another thing about James, Peter, Sirius and Remus was that they were trouble-makers. They called themselves The Marauders.
'Nice!' Padfoot smiled.
A picture was then visible on the parchment.
It was a map.
Before any of The Marauders were able to view their masterpiece, Lily creped behind them and asked 'What are you four up to? Hey! What's that?' and pointed to the map.
James quickly closed it up and put it away. He tried to change the subject. 'So what did you guys get on the transfiguration exam?'
Elizabeth spoke first 'That muggle Professor McGonnagall gave me an 82! (A/N just like we call mean people witches they call mean people muggles!)
Remus was shocked. 'You're talking as if it were a bad mark!'
Now James spoke up.
'Perfect hundred' he smiled broadly.
The six kids looked at him in disbelief.
'Uhh.. I'm tired.' And at that the boys went to their dormitory, and the girls to theirs. But before any of them went anywhere, a certain young man stopped them.
It was Matt Kunner.
'Hey everyone, how's it been going?' He tried being friendly.
'Uhh.. fine.' Lily said straightening her hair.
'Well, I was wondering' and pulled Jenny to the side. 'If m'lady would like to go to the ball with me?'
Jenny was furious.. So was Lily.
Before Jenny could even give him a piece of her mind , Lily acted all of everyone's thoughts.
She slapped him.
The seven continued on their way leaving Mr. Kunner in confusion.
*~*~~*~*In the boy's dormitory*~*~~*~*
'Hey, so you guys think we should pull a prank on Kunner?' James offered, questioning himself. *Why *do* I care who Lily goes out with?*
'Nahh.. Don't waste anything perfectly good on that git!' Sirius said.
'How about.. Snape?' Peter said eagerly, wanting to get into the conversation.
For the rest of the night they were deciding on how they would take his boxers and put them on display.
A/N- guys.. please review! I love you all anyways!
