Of Underwear and Tutus
"Potter, I will not allow you out of this dorm room clothed as you are!" said Lily shielding her eyes.
"Oh come on Lily, I've got on underwear!" said James indignantly.
"James, you'll scar the first years and have to foot their psychiatric bills," Lily said, quite seriously.
"No I won't, even the midgets would like to see this," he said spreading his arms wide, looking at Lily.
"I don't appreciate it, and I know that the teachers won't. You're Head Boy! If you don't put some clothes on, I'll do it myself!" Lily replied.
"Have at it, darling!" said James sauntering over to her.
"Fine," with that Lily gave her wand a little intricate wave and James stood there, somewhat shocked in a black leotard and a bright pink tutu.
"Erg… Couldn't it be something else?" he asked hopefully.
"Nope, that's all I'm doing, and I can't wait to watch you try and get it off," Lily walked through the portrait hole with a little bounce in her step, she was good at conjuring clothes and Permanent Sticking Charms were her specialty.
She only got about half way down the corridor before being accosted from behind.
"Get it off me," James was frantic. Going down to breakfast, dressed as he was, didn't seem very appealing, but he didn't know a counter charm.
"I can't, the word permanent isn't in the name of the charm for nothing you know," She stepped around the horrified boy and continued on her way to breakfast. She didn't see James in her morning Transfiguration class, and became very amused. He had detention now, as well as still being dressed in a tutu. She certainly had blackmail now, and quite a bit of leverage.
"If I bargain enough, maybe I can get him to promise to leave me alone," she muttered as she walked across the grounds to Herbology.
"Hey Lily!" someone called, "Wait up!"
Sirius grabbed her arm and spun her around, "Have you seen James?"
"Not since this morning, he failed to turn up for Transfiguration, and I doubt he'll be at Herbology," she replied.
"Oh, okay," Sirius said. He seemed to realize something, and then sprinted after her again.
"Do you need something?" Lily asked him.
"Did you do something to him?" Sirius asked suspiciously.
"He tried to leave the Head's room mostly naked, so yes, I did." Lily said.
"What did you do?" Sirius demanded.
"Wouldn't you like to know? I guess you'll see him sometime, he can explain it." Lily said and then turned tail and started walking briskly across the lawn, with Sirius in tow, asking quite a few question, most of which were deflected or answered in a rather round about way.
By the time they got to the Greenhouses, Professor Sprout was about to begin the lesson, so any further inquiring was postponed.
The seventh years were pruning Venomous Tentaculas that day, so they could have used a few more pairs of hands. Everyone left the Greenhouse sustaining some sort of injury, the worst of which was a maimed arm, which had been inflicted upon Gideon Prewett when he tried to tackle a particularly large one on his own.
The crowd of them were all heading towards the Hospital Wing, so as to be mended by the school nurse. When they arrived, there were curtains surrounding a bed, which was never a good sign. When asked, Madam Pomfrey simply said that a student had had an accident and didn't wish to be seen.
Lily waited until she was the last student in the room to ask Madam Pomfrey if it was James behind the curtains. Before she could answer, a deep voice said, "It most certainly is Flower! Come get this off, I know you know how!"
"Get what off Mr. Potter? I don't know what you're talking about," she replied innocently.
"You liar, you did this, come undo it wench!" James was really irked.
"Now, that's not very nice-" But Lily was cut off by Madam Pomfrey.
"Miss Evans, you're upsetting my patient, out you go, if you don't mind," she said.
"Not at all, Madam Pomfrey, thanks for fixing me up!" Lily then departed, leaving a very frustrated James in her wake.
Author's Note: This is just a short prologue, I'm planning on continuing. I'm anxious to get this up, I haven't written in so long, I have no idea how the community has changed or what a response this will get. If you read it, please review, even if it's just a few words. Thank you so very much, Happy Holidays!
