A STINKY START

" Ickle Jamesie is the Head Boy!" Sirius smirked

" Shut up Padfoot, you're just jealous" James sulked

" Jealous? I'd be jumping down the train this minute if it was me"

" I would too, except I have unfinished business."

" Like snogging Lily Evans?"

" Don't mention that name, I feel sick now!"

" Know who's the head girl yet?" Remus asked innocently

" Better not be Evans"

" Bet it is" Sirius and Remus muttered

Just then someone pushed open the compartment door. A tall skinny girl with golden brown hair stepped in and asked

" Any free seats here?"

" Sure our laps are free!" Sirius took opportunity to flash a charming smile.

The girl blushed and left the compartment in an embarrassed way.

" Melinda, where were you?" Lily asked

" I was just um...looking around" she replied lamely

" Not by any chance looking at Sirius black?"

" No, what gave you that idea?"

Lily laughed and shook her head. Melinda still won't admit that she liked Sirius. Seriously....

" Hey, don't you need to patrol the compartments with the Head Boy?" Melinda quickly changed the subject. She also couldn't wait to see Lily' face when she finds out who the Head Boy is.

" I don't even know whoever-it-is!"

" Well, come and see for yourself"

Melinda led Lily down the corridor back into the compartment where the Marauders were chatting noisily.

" Prongs, you should really do your HEAD BOY duties!"

" Why don't I sell the badge to you Moony, 10 galleons only."

" Prongsi, can I transfigure your badge into a skunk?" Sirius asked

Peter jumped at the word 'skunk'.

" N-o no no please don't."

" I'm not talking about you, Wormtail!" Sirius replied exasperated

" whatever you want." James tossed the badge carelessly.

Once again the compartment door opened. This time it appears that another girl was accompanied with the brown-haired girl.

The Marauders looked up (all except Peter), interested. It's that pretty girl again, Sirius thought.

" so hello.again"

" uh hi, Lily come here"

" what?!" Lily strides over reluctantly to face the people inside. She had dark curly red hair, emerald green eyes and was extremely pretty.

" oh it's you, POTTER"

" and you, EVANS"

Lily turned around to Melinda and whispered a bit too loudly, " you brought me here just to see Potter's revolting face?"

" I'm afraid that there's more stuff you will find revolting." Melinda replied, smiling.

Suddenly the Hogwarts Express gave a lurch causing Lily and Melinda to tumble. The door gave a loud bang and Lily found herself losing balance and crashing down. To make things 10 times worse a gaseous vapour broke out of the compartment. " what the..."

" urgh!"

" ouch!"

Everyone started bumping each other as the gas grew foggier and even fouler smelling. No one could really see each other and everyone is trying to straighten their mess up. ( lots of complaining).

James pinched his nose and yelled,

" did you do that, Padfoot?"

" yeah I did it!"

" did what?" Peter asked, confused. He was very capable of handling foul smells. Meanwhile Lily had accidentally fallen on top of someone ( hint hint) but she didn't know whom. Her ankle felt painful and she couldn't stand up. A bad and strong odour was hanging in the air that made her feel like vomiting.

If this is their idea of fun, she thought furiously, I am so going to get back at them for doing this. Lily briefly wondered if Melinda was okay when she heard Sirius' voice unmistakably saying,

" I transfigured Prong's badge into a skunk"

so it was Sirius, the show-off, the player. She was lost in thought when

" AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

" Melinda, are you OK?" Lily shouted over the commotion

" Something furry and feral went up my leg!"

" That was a skunk."

" A skunk? AAAAHHHHHHH!"

this time she screamed so loud that the Marauders thought that they would go permanently deaf.

" A skunk, ahhhh a skunk!"

" Shush Mel, everyone can hear us"

James had finally untangled himself after Melinda screamed. He took out his wand, pointed at nowhere in particular and shouted,

" Accio skunk!'

The skunk zoomed across the room and landed in James' arms.

" Poof" the smell was so strong.

" Padfoot, I need your help to turn this skunk back"

" About time, too"

" On the count of three- one two three! PRIORI SKOCANUS INCANTATEM!"

BANG! POP!

The skunk was turned back into James' Head Boy badge.
