I know I shouldn't write a new story with all my old ones not finished. I just had to start this one. I am hoping you will like it. When ever it is Lily's point of view James will be thought of as Potter. When ever it is James' or Sirius' point of view Lily will be called Evans. Remember this has nothing to do with any of my other stories. The romance will be later.
Lily Evans sat in the Gryffindor common room. She read her fairy tale book knowing that she couldn't relax for long. Sooner or later James Potter would come and play a silly prank on her. Maybe turn her hair purple. He might just plain tease her.
Lily saw Potter walking in with his best friends Sirius Black the major idiotic flirt who also teased her, Remus Lupin the only person in their gang who was actually nice to her and Peter Pettigrew who Lily personally thought was a mindless slave and robot to Potter and Black.
Quickly Lily ran up to her room she shared with her friends. Elaine, one of her best friend's had shoulder length brown hair and sparkling hazel colored eyes. Elaine was kind of tomboyish but not too much of a tomboy.
Meira, Lily's other best friend had middle length black hair and bluish green eyes. She was very energetic and her personality was the opposite of a tomboy.
Lily looked very different from both of them with wavy red hair down to her waist and deep green eyes.
None of these girls were pretty because they did not try to be. Being teased and told you were ugly made you believe you could not look otherwise. Elaine wore her tomboyish clothes and never did up her hair or wore makeup. Meira wore baggy clothes making her look heavier than she was. This did not go good because she was short for her age. Lily wore her beautiful hair up in an ugly oh so neat look. She hid her eyes behind thick glasses that she did not need.
These girls could not be themselves because of the marauders teasing them all the time. They hid their true personality only showing what they were really like to themselves and a few other friends.
"Hey Lils" Elaine and Meira muttered in chorus. Lily sat down on her bed. "I just escaped the idiots," Lily said. "They probably had another trick planned." The Idiots was their codeword for James, Sirius and Peter.
Then Lily remembered "oh no I forgot my homework downstairs where the idiots are." Elaine and Meira quickly thought up such lame excuses Lily just had to laugh. "I need to feed my blast ended skrewt," said Meira. "And I need to find a new makeup spell for the dance that hasn't been scheduled yet" Elaine muttered quickly.
"Its ok guys I'll go down by myself" reassured Lily. Lily went down the stairs and went to pick up her homework. What Lily saw made her cry.
Lily's prized potions essay she had worked on for hours was torn up into shreds. When she tried to fix it a little bubble showed up that said "unfixable." When she tried again an insult telling her she was ugly she was showed up.
Lily ran up to her room crying and out of the corner of her eye she saw Potter and his gang laughing besides Remus who was yelling at them. Lily's friends said that they would get back at them for what they did. Elaine and Meira always said that. They never could.
Lily walked to potions with her friends. She had written a quick new essay that wasn't as good but would do. Professor Iditod commonly called Professor Idiot by Gryffindor announced that today the class would be split into partners.
Lily was partnered with Alison Berg, a Hufflepuff girl who tried to hang out with Lily and her friends. Meira was partnered with Ella who was kind of their friend and also in Hufflepuff. Lily felt very sorry for Elaine, who was with Potter,
Lily and Allison finished very fast because Lily was great at Potions. Lily watched as Elaine tried to make the potion right but Potter kept messing it up. Potter screamed at Elaine "if you don't stop making our potion not right I'll curse you.
Lily walked over to Elaine and told her she could make the potion whatever way she wanted. "I hate you Evans" Potter screamed at Lily for no reason. He also called her many curse words.
Professor Iditod was happy to find a reason to give two Gryffindors a Detention. Professor Iditod also took away 30 points from Gryffindor each. Lily and Potter would each have a detention at 8:30, two days from then. They would have to clean the trophy room with no magic.
Potter did not care but Lily was miserable. She had never had a detention before.
The next two days went by too fast for Lily's liking. Soon she would have to have her detention. In fact only in an hour it would be time. Lily wondered what would happen if she skipped her detention. You'd get in more trouble, you dummy Lily thought to her.
"Lainey?" Lily asked in a too sweet voice. "Lils, you know I hate being called Lainey" Elaine answered.
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did."
"No I didn't."
"Ok this is pointless" Elaine finally said.
"What I needed to ask you Lainey was would you do a spell to look like me and go to detention instead of me."
Elaine sighed and said, "I guess you'll never learn Lilsy. I know once you've gotten it as a habit you'll never call me Elaine again. Oh, to what you said before definitely not. I will not go to detention instead of you. Nice try Lilsy."
Lily was kind of mad that Elaine was now calling her the name she told her friends not to call her but nothing could get her mind off of the detention in half an hour.
Lily sat and did her transfiguration homework while waiting for half an hour to be up. Soon it was 8:25 so Lily ran to the trophy room. She expected Potter to be late and was a bit surprised he came right at 8:30.
Potter yelled at Lily "now start working." Lily asked him if he was going to do his share at all and he just said nothing. Then he answered, "I'd rather just watch you." This upset Lily but not too much.
Than Potter really got Lily mad. "I bet your parents are as dorky as you" he said. He did a really mean imitation of her parents. "Hi honey." He said while holding his nose making the voice sound weird. "Have you enjoyed school this year?"
Lily looked at Potter and started to scream. "FIRST OF ALL YOU INSENSITIVE JERK, ALL OF MY TIME AT HOGWARTS I HAVE PUT UP WITH YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS TEASING ME AND PLAYING PRANKS ON ME. I CAN HANDLE YOU TEASING ME BUT TEASING MY PARENTS IS GOING TOO FAR. POTTER, THEY DIED LAST YEAR."
With that Lily ran out of the room crying. The nice side of James that Lily had never seen cleaned up the rest of the trophy room. The mean side that Lily saw everyday did not care and planned a prank for tomorrow.
Lily ran to the bathroom and did a spell to make her not look like she cried. She went back to her room and told her friends that Professor Iditod had let them off early.
She knew Potter would be mad that she did not do her work but this was the last straw. She would have revenge in the best way possible, a prank.
James Potter lay in bed at night thinking up a great new prank to play on Evans. A little voice in the back of his head said he shouldn't even think up one and what he did was mean. James ignored the voice.
He decided on going into her dorm and giving her and an eight-hour oversleep spell and a not able to be waked up spell that night.
Lily knew Potter would play a prank on her but she didn't care. She would get back at him with a better one. She would play two pranks on him. Two good pranks then one master prank. For the master prank her friends would help.
The first prank would happen the morning after the next day. Potter would wake up to find the only words that could come out of his mouth were Lily rules. Lily couldn't wait.
Lily slept for eight hours more than she should have missing all of her classes. Luckily the teachers saw the fact that she was hyper and knew it was a result of a prank. Meanwhile Lily's friends put up with her hyper mood.
Lily saw Elaine and screamed "Lainey!!!!!! Wanna go to Hogsmeade to buy pretty pink dresses?"
Elaine quickly explained that Lily was hyper and didn't know what she was saying.
Lily continued to say more weird things for an hour. Finally she settled down to plan out how she would put the spell on Potter. It would stay for 24 hours unless someone took off the spell.
In the middle of the night Lily sneaked into Potter's room. She put the spell on him and ran out causing Sirius to wake up.
Sirius heard James muttering in his sleep "Lily rules, Lily rules" over and over. He couldn't believe James could actually like Evans so he assumed James was crazy and went back to sleep forgetting the whole thing.
James overslept a little and needed to go straight to transfiguration, his first class. When Professor McGonagall asked him why he was late he tried to say he overslept but instead he said "Lily rules, Lily rules, Lily…"
"I think that is enough Mr. Potter 20 points from Gryffindor. Now sit down." James sat down feeling very frustrated. Lily must have played a prank on him.
For the rest of the day he endured losing points for Gryffindor and not being able to talk to his friends. He even got a week of detentions from Professor Iditod.
Lily was happy with the result of this prank. She couldn't wait till he suffered her next prank.
Did you like that? I know James was very mean but that is the way his personality is I until Lily changes it. I know I didn't show any of it but James and Sirius do have a fan club. Also Lily's other roommates will appear in the next chapter.
