*******Still here?? Good! Have fun!*****


As she settled comfortably into the plush chair near the fire, Lily let out a sigh. She had to come up with a new prank to play. What prank hadn't James, Sirius, Remus, and Pettigrew done already?


Suddenly, her green eyes lit up. Her hair seemed to grow more red. Oh, she was coming up with an awesome plan. She chuckled to herself. This plan would need alot of research.


"What better time to start then now?" she asked herself.


Inflating Mrs. Norris, that had been creative, this plan was just plan funny.


Across the room, Sirius watched as Lily ran up the steps to the girl's dorm and came down again with loads of books.


"It looks like Lily has come up with another idea." he remarked. James looked up. She was shifting through the books, muttering to herself, and grabbing her quill.


"I guess she has." He had totally forgotten about his feelings during Transfiguration. Now all his energy and thoughts were focused on Quidditch. As seeker for the team and captain, he had to come up with new stratigies. The next Quidditch games was against Hufflepuff on Sunday.


* * *



The next morning, Lily woke up extra early. It was going to be a boring Tuesday, except for going to the library. Researching for her prank was pretty fun.


Quickly she ran down to the library. She had exactly 45 minutes until she had to meet Shiara for breakfast. The spell would take about one day to find the right word. Lily was good at making up new spells and testing them. The new spell would probably be ready tomorrow.


As she leafed through books like Strange Spells for all Occasions, Simply Slimey Spells, and Your Guide to New Spells, she began to feel more excited. James Potter would certainly be loosing 50 galleons pretty soon.


James Potter. Suddenly, she was remembering his chocolatly eyes, his smile, and even his messy black hair. Then she remembered how he had set the Slytherin table on fire. She laughed softly, it had been rather funny.


She glanced at the clock at the wall. 7:45! She was late! Hurridly, she stuffed her parchments into her bag and ran into the Great Hall. Shiara was sitting next to Remus. "Already, we've been hanging out with these guys more." was her first thought.


"Shiara, sorry I was late. I was in the library. Please don't be mad." Lily said while grabbing a muffin.


" Course not Lil. But the library? I thought you finished all your homework last night."


"I'll tell you later," Lily whispered. Lily's gaze traveled over to the Slytherin table. They wouldn't be so happy tomorrow. As she spied Snape her smile broadened. It was going to be so fun getting him back for liking her!


"LILY! Are you smiling at SNAPE???" Shiara's voice shook her out of her thoughts, and at the last remark Lily began to choke on her muffin. James looked up from his meal, and Sirius was studying her face intently.


"No..." she moaned, after suceeding in swallowing. " Thats gross Shi....Really gross."


"Well, you were smiling towards the Slytherin table."


"Shi, what you thought was a smile- well, it's really called an evil grin."


" Evil gri- oh! You're planning something. I got it! And the Slytherins are the main targets."


"That fast?" James asked.


" What?"


" I mean, you only got your idea last night."


" You were watching me? Don't you worry Potter, the spell is ready." With that Lily looked at her watch, stuffed her last piece of toast in her mought, and mumbled,


" Lets go." to Shiara. Shiara's black hair flew while she shook her head yes.


The day flew by uneventually, if you can count James and Sirius getting their 25th detention of the year (its only been 2 weeks). Also, tht at every meal Lily could be hear muttering,


"I Go win libra", which translated meant, "I'm going to the library."


Shiara sighed as Lily ran off again after dinner.


"Your bet is going to make me have no best friend for 3 1/2 weeks."


"I'll be your best friend," Sirius muttered, while throwing his arm around her.


"Very funny, Mr. Black," she remarked as she swatted his arm away.


* * *


In the library Lily laughed very loudly. Madam Pince lost her temper, she had been telling that girl all day to be quiet.

"Miss Evans, GET OUT NOW!"


Lily looked at the clock. 9:00! Time for the Gryffindor cheerleading practice! She ran through the stairs, into the common room, and up into the dance/gym section of the girls' dorm.


"Well girls," she said while piling her hair onto her head, "Let's get started!"


* * *


Shiara was very bored. She was planning on watching the cheerleading practice in awhile. "Maybe," she thought,"Sirius, Remus, and James are doing something." With that idea, she headed down to the common room. Before she could open the door, it opened for her, and Shiara bumped into something very hard, very large, and very invisable.


Her first instinct was to grab at the air in front of her, and as she did, Remus, Sirius, and James' heads and bodies began to show.


"WEll!" Shiara smirked.


* * *


As Lily led her team through the cheers, she watched as Shiara entered the room. Lily brightened and waved. Practice would be over in about 20 minutes.


"I think we should try on our uniforms." Lily said. The girls began to chatter excitidly.



Shiara almost groaned! She had brought in 3 boys while all the girls were changing? GREAT!(that was sarcastic)


"Well," James said from underneath the invisiblity cloak,"we will be the first men to see the prude Ms. Evans strip."


"Not really," he thought he heard Shiara say. Before he could ask what she meant, Sirius and Remus gasped and the room went quiet. Everyone was looking at.... Lily?


The girl in the room still had shining green eyes and bright red hair, but she looked so less....virginal(is that a word?) The girl,yes,um, Lily, had a perfect figure. Curves in all the right places, a flat,strong stomach,and, James had to admit, a very nice butt.


Shiara hooted. The other girls were still in shocked silence.


"You're not the 1st to see Lily strip. Not by a long shot." Shiara said as she walked out of the room. Sirius, James, and Remus followed.


"You see,my dear boys," Shiara began," our lovely Lily is-was a stripper." With that Remus almost fainted and Sirius crashed into a wall. James just stood still.


She motioned for them to follow her. "We'll go up to Lily's room so I can explain."


Once in Lily's room, the boys looked around in surprise. The room was light green. Lily's bed was in the middle of the room. It had darker green sheets. Along the walls were pictures of Lily with her parents, Lily with Shiara, and Lily with some people James didn't know. Not all the pictures were taken with a wizard camera. The room was also impecably neat, with books stacked all over. James was surprised to find that the room didn't show a shy,little girl, but an ambitious young woman, eager to make her start in the world.


"So," Sirius managed to stutter after a minute or two," Lily Evans is a stripper."

* * *


A half hour later Shiara took a device that resembled a walkie-talkie out of her pocket.


"Hello? Lily, come in." Shiara waited a moment. Then-


"Hey, Shi." Water splashed in the backround.


"Where are you?"

"In the bathroom."

"I looked!"

"In the *Head Students* bathroom."

"Oh, I didn't know you had one."


"We do."


"So, when are you going to come back into your room?"


"Now." There was the sound of someone getting out of the bath. "See you in 10 minutes."


* * *


Lily quickly pulled on her pjs (short green shorts and a black tanktop) and a pink robe. As she entered the girls' dorm she was attacked by a mob.


"We don't want to wear those uniforms," Catharine Sharp said. Ok, a mob of cheerleaders.


Lily looked confused. They didn't want those gold and red uniforms, with the lion on them, that fit perfectly, and were *very* short?


"But you wanted them 2 weeks ago. We voted." Lily pointed out.


"We don't want 'em."


"You're keeping them. We already paid." With that Lily burst into her room. Before she could register shock, Sirius called from her bed,


"Take it off!"


"Sirius..." her voice trailed off. When the sound of someone trying to fit in the closet reached her ears, she said, "..you know. You all do. Mind filling me in, Shiara?" Lily asked as she turned slowly in a circle. Remus answered for her.


"She told us, we had remarked about something. We were watching cheerleading practice." Lily looked confused, so he added," under an invisibililty cloak. We won't tell." Lily took a deep breath, and tried not to scream at Shiara. After 5 minutes of silence, Lily just said,


"Shiara, you can come out now."


"Now, Evans, when were you going to tell me about cheerleading? You thought you could just walk onto my field on Sunday and cheer?" James asked.


"You aren't going to let us?"


"I want to see the whole routine. While your in uniform." he added. Lily sighed and muttered a spell under her breath. She was dressed.


"You know, the girls don't want these uniforms anymore."


"Well it's obvious why." Shiara said.


"It is? I don't know why." Sirius fell off the bed. James was still watching her.


"It's because," Remus began," you look better in it then the rest of them, and they don't want any boys falling for you."


"WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?? I'm FAT!" With that, Shiara proceded to fall off the bed.


"Thank you Lily."


"Hmmmm..."

"You're like, a size THREE. Then everyone is fat huh?"


"NO! That's not what I meant and you know it. It's just..." Lily's voice trailed off.

"Fine Potter. Here's the routine." She began doing flips, cartwheels, front handsprings, and all sorts of stuff James didn't recognize. Then she began to cheer.


"G-R-Y-F-F-I-N-D-O-R! Gryffindor! We're gonna win! We rock the air! Hufflepuffs you better beware! We got Potter, He's our man! He can fly faster than anyone can! Go GRYFFINDOR!" She ended with a split. (ok, i know the cheer was corny.)"There, you happy? Can we please cheer at the game?"


James sighed. "Fine." he drawled.


"Now,"Lily said."It is time for bed. You can all leave." She climbed into her covers and shut her eyes. The door didn't open or close. The light didn't go off. "GOOD NIGHT." she said firmly. As the door almost shut, she thought she heard Potter whisper, "Night Evans." Slowly, as she driffed off to dreamland, she smiled a sleepy smile in anticipation of the next day.
