Has No Name Yet.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters. I am NOT richer than the Queen of England, and I don't know what will be in the sixth book yet, and I won't until it comes out. So, there for, I am not J.K. Rowling, and don't own any of the HP characters. Let's begin, shall we?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily lay on the couch in the Gryffindor common room, reading a book. It was relatively quiet in there, which was a bit odd. The Marauders were off somewhere, no doubt getting into some kind of trouble. She sighed and shook her head. Lily's calico kitten, Asher, was purring happily by the fire. Lily put her bookmark in her book and sat next to Asher and began to pet him affectionately.
"That was probably the best prank ever!" Someone shouted loudly. "Wow!"
"Definitely!" Shouted another. "You should have seen the look on Snape's face!" Whoever was there started laughing. It was a boy, and Lily knew which boy. James Potter.
Lily's eyes narrowed at the sound of the familiar voices. The Marauders had come into the common room and were talking loudly now. From what she heard, Lily guessed that the butt of the prank was, again, that poor Slytherin boy, Snape.
Lily stood up and swooped Asher up into her arms. Then, she put one hand upon her hips. She cleared her throat, and all four of the boys stopped laughing and shouting and looked over in her direction.
"What have you four done to that poor boy this time?" Lily demanded. James exchanged glances with Sirius Black. "Well?"
"Um, well," began James. "Wait a minute, why should we tell you, Queen Lily?" James said sarcastically.
"Don't get her too upset, James," warned Remus. Sirius started to snicker. "I'm serious. There's no telling what she might do."
This only made Sirius and James burst out into hysterical fits of laughter. Lily tried taking a deep breath to calm her down, the way she always did when the Marauders got her upset. She began counting to ten.
"So, how 'bout it, Lily? What are you going to do?" Sirius gasped between laughter. "Glare us to death?"
This caused more laughter between the two. Remus only rolled his eyes at his immature friends and went up to the boy's dormitories to get some of his homework done from the night before. He had tried to warn them.
"Ooh! I know!" said James, clutching at his sides. They were hurting from all of the laughter. "She's going to teach us how to count to ten!" Sirius and James became so weak from the new fits of laughter that they fell onto the floor and began to roll around, laughing.
At six, Lily stopped counting. She set Asher on the floor, who went right back to the fireplace.
"Do you really want to know what I want to do now?" Lily asked with venom lacing her every word. "I'll have to show you."
James and Sirius stood up, still snickering madly, but able to stand. They were eager to see just how angry they had made her. They would really regret it later.
"Although you learning to count is highly recommended by me," she said coldly, stomping over to them. "It's also highly unlikely to happen. So, this will just have to do."
She pulled back her hand, and slapped James right across the face. Peter, James, and Sirius all looked stunned. James was the most stunned. And his cheek hurt, and he bet it was red. Lily had slapped him pretty hard. Then, Sirius began laughing again. But this time, he was laughing at James.
Lily had started to walk away, but then she changed her mind. She just couldn't walk away and let Sirius get away with laughing at James just because he had gotten hit, and not him. She turned back around and slapped Sirius as hard, if not harder, than she had hit James.
"And that is for thinking you weren't going to get hit!" With that, Lily grabbed Asher again and her book, and went back up to the girl's dormitories. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Author's Note: Well, what do you think? It was just sort of for fun, and plus, I love to read about Lily and James, so I decided I also might have fun writing about them. I hope it's good, and you all like it. =)
