A boy with dark brown hair stirred as moonlight poured in through a nearby window onto his bleach-white bed. He sleepily opened his eyes to find a raven-haired girl scrunched in a seat next to his bed. He mumbled a bit and sat up the best he could. The moon light splayed across to her too, putting her in a spotlight. He spent a few minutes staring at her smiling slightly until she shifted and a lock of her hair fell across her face. James bent over and gently brushed it away. She's so prettyThe girl started to mumble, eyes still closed.

"Hmm, glad to see you've woken up." James, a little smile on his face, responded.

"Hmm, me too. How long have I been out?" Lily opened her eyes lightly and smiled. She stood up and stretched.

"Three days. You had a high fever. Sirius, Peter, Remus, and Ana all came to visit you but…" She trailed off and stared at the floor. James knew exactly what she was going to say without even knowing it. He felt happy knowing that she cared and stayed for him all this time. Woah. Wait. Get a hold of yourself James! This is Lily we're talking about.

"Er, did Marie visit me at all?"

"Well unless she visited you when I was asleep, then no. She was in all her classes today and I came right after they ended and she wasn't here. I'm sorry."

James felt his heart droop. Oh well you were going to dump her tomorrow anyway…

"It's alright." She smiled and he smiled back.

"Well, er, I'm glad that you're feeling better. We should probably get some sleep."

"Yeah. We should." Lily lied back on her chair as comfortably as she could and closed her eyes.

"No, no, no. Here, sleep here. Sleeping in that chair will hurt your neck or something." James sat up as he saw her in the chair. Lily opened her eyes lazily. She thought a bit and decided that a few hours in the same bed with James wasn't as bad as three nights on a hard chair with no one. She stood up and got in next to him. Even though he hadn't showered in three nights, he still smelled good, like spice and cinnamon. Soon, all that could be heard in the room, was a steady breathing.

The next morning, the door to the Wing opened and in stepped an old man with purple robes and wizard hat. They both had silver, gleaming stars and moons on them. He looked over at the two young people in the bed and smiled. This is exactly why I wanted them to be Heads. To learn to get along. He went over to their bed and pulled out a silver muggle horn. Holding it steadily over their heads, he squeezed the squeaker. A loud honking noise filled the room and echoed on the walls. James and Lily jumped out of the bed and started yelling. Lily was now on the floor and James was tangled in the bed hanger.

"I didn't do it!"

"I told him not to!"

"She started it!"

"My neck hurt!"

"MOMMY!" Lily was fully awake now and she stared at James who was now hiding under the covers, apparently sleeping. She held back a giggle unlike the Headmaster who started chuckling. She looked over at him smiling.

"You like it? I bought it for a Knut and two Sickles last week." Lily nodded her agreement while rubbing her head. James poked his head out of the covers and straightened up.

"Er, hello Headmaster. H-h-how are you?" James quickly shuffled around for his glasses. He continued.

"It's not what you think. Really. I would never, ever sleep with her." Immediately, his eyes got wide. Lily stiffened and the smile slipped off her lips. She turned around and walked out of the room as Peter, Remus, and Sirius walked in the room. She gave a stiff wave to Peter, a scowl to Sirius, and a peck on the cheek to Remus. She glared at James and shut the door behind her. She then turned on her heel and sprinted down the hall. Back at the Wing, everyone stared at James. He groaned and fell back under the covers.

"Well, I must go. I just needed to wake you two up before classes. James, you are healthy enough for classes so you may return to your dorm. Good day." He waved to Sirius, Remus and Peter, and shut the door behind him. The three friends then walked over to James's bed.

"Er, mate? What happened?" Sirius asked, removing the covers.

"Nothing Padfoot, nothing." He growled at Sirius, using his nickname, and took back the covers.

"Now Prongs," Remus began using James's nickname. "That was not nothing." Everyone was quiet.

"Er, I agree with Moony?" Peter looked around. Sirius stared.

"Shut up Wormtail!" Peter shrunk back. "So?" Sirius turned back to James who, had been smiling a bit before, now frowned.

"So what?"

"That's what I want to know."

"Want to know what?!"

"I don't know! You haven't told me yet!" Both friends were now standing and glaring at each other. Suddenly, Peter broke out in laughter. Moony then started to chuckle and Padfoot started to giggle like a little girl. Prongs then started to laugh at Sirius's laugh and Remus laughed at Wormtail who is now on the ground. Soon, laughter filled the air and the four boys were clutching each other and rolling on the ground. Soon, the door opened and two first years walk in. They both stared at the laughing figures and then at each other.

"I think I saw a porno like this once." The other boy nodded wisely and they both left the cackling boys in peace.

Ana woke up with a fierce ray of sun in her eyes.

"Hmmm, what's the matter Lily?" She sat up lazily and looked over at her friend. She then leaned over the bed to her nightstand. She checked the clock and groaned.

"Uh, Lily! Its 7:30 in the freaking MORNING!" She threw one of her many pillows at Lily. She ducked when it came back towards her. Soon, there were feathers flying all over the place. The girls were giggling and squealing. After a while, they both of them collapsed on their beds panting and still laughing. Lily was the first to stand up, though still giggling.

"Well, we better get down to breakfast or else I'll have to take points from ourselves." They stood staring at each other. And burst out laughing again. Ana checked the clock.

"We still have time. It's only 8:03 in the…" She gasped. Today was the day that the time changed. An hour later.

"Ana! It's 9! We're late!" Both girls quickly ran around the dorm to get their things and sprinted down the halls to their separate classes. Ana had Binns so he probably wouldn't care if she came late, but Lily had McGonagall and she was exactly the opposite. She would notice Lily and she would be in a lot of trouble. Lily arrived panting in front of the classroom door. She opened the door carefully. She found McGonagall at her desk but no students.

"Er, Professor?" She looked up.

"Ah, Lily. What are you doing up so early?" Lily looked aghast.

"Early? It's, it's 9o clock, isn't it?" McGonagall checked her watch.

"No ma'am. It's 7:53 right now." Lily gaped at her.

"But, but my clock said 8 and today's the day that the clocks change to one hour later making it 9, right?"

"Yes, and this watch has already been changed." McGonagall looked at her quizzically. "Unless some one changed your clock, then it should have the right time on it." Lily felt like crap. She muttered a little oh and said good-bye. She left the room tired and angry. She met Ana in the hall looking just like Lily. They both rounded on each other.

"Was this your idea of a stupid joke? 'Cause if it was, I'm not laughing." Ana said sternly. Lily was outraged.

"ME? You're the one that read the time wrong!" Ana looked puzzled and then her eyes widened in understanding. Lily started to ask but Ana shushed her and dragged her to the wall. She could faintly hear voices coming from down the hall and was having a hard time understanding what they were saying.

"This morning, yes."

"It was so much fun too! I can't wait to see their faces!"

"Peter here almost fell asleep on Bella."

"Did not!" Lily and Ana stared at each other. It was the Marauders. And they had been in their rooms. This morning. Lily fit two and two together and realized that it wasn't Ana that had changed the time, but the Marauders! Lily felt her anger flare but Ana grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

"Not now." She whispered. Lily hesitated but then nodded. The Marauders were still talking.

"But, guys, do you know how angry Lily'll be when she finds out it was us?"

"Yeah, so? Prongs, you've never cared before. Of course she'll be mad! She always gets mad! That's just what makes it fun though." Lily smiled at Ana and Ana grinned back. If Lily doesn't get mad at them anymore, then they won't think it's fun anymore and stop doing it. Worth a try… Lily and Ana started walking towards the four boys just before they rounded the corner.

"Hey guys! What's up?" said Ana. She smiled sweetly at them.

"Yeah, oh, and nice trick. With the clock and all? Had me and Ana laughing after we met up." Lily laughed. She did think it was pretty funny. Well, kind of.

"Er, yeah. Funny." Mumbled Peter.

"Erm, you er, heard us then?" Asked Remus shamefully.

"Yes, sadly we did." Said Ana, play frowning a bit at Remus. "It would have been funnier if we didn't know who it was. Well, gotta go!" Lily and Ana linked arms and skipped away leaving four very confused boys in their wake.

The smile wiped off Sirius's face as he stared at the retreating figures.

"Wha-wha-what was that? She was supposed to get all mad at us and everything!" Sirius growled.

"Well, maybe she really thought it was funny?" Peter asked. Sirius turned to him.

"No, Wormtail! She can't have!"

"Padfoot, just drop it. It was a stupid prank anyway. Not even one of our best ones. It was just making her early for class, that's all." Remus told him.

"I agree with you Moony but, you have to admit that that was kind of scary. I think she's planning something but I don't know what." Said James, while ruffling his hair a bit. Remus thought, but not even he could think of anything Lily would want to do by pretending to like the joke. At least, he thought that she was pretending. She wouldn't really like their prank. Especially when it was aimed at her. Remus shrugged it off and told his friends that they better get to breakfast soon. So, the friends took off again, as Lily and Ana arrived at the Great Hall and sat down, silently snickering. The hungry girls soon started plopping food on their plates, and began eating – or in Ana's case, inhaling. After a while, Lily leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, sighing.

"Sho?" Lily lazily opened her eyes.

"So what?"

"Sho, whuacha gunna too?" Ana barely said, stuffing more food in her mouth.

"Do about what?" Lily asked impatiently. Ana took her time—she closed her eyes and swallowed—before pointing to the entrance and saying,

"What are you going to do about them?" And almost if on cue, the doors opened to reveal the four Marauders. The four boys were greeted with cheering and clapping by the lower years, mainly girls. As the Marauders started walking towards the two girls, Lily smiled mischivieously.

"What are you—?" Ana started to say, but turned around and grinned just as big as Lily. She didn't even need to hear the plan.

"Hello girls." James said as he stood above Lily. Suddenly, his smile faded.

"Why is your hair so, weird?" Lily turned around and felt her hair. Suddenly her eyes got wide. She stood up so abruptly that she sent her chair flying.

"Er, I remembered that I, er, have to go!" She said hurriedly and ran out through the Great Hall and into the common room. Remus, Ana, Peter, and Sirius all looked puzzled but James narrowed his eyes and started walking up to the common room. Sirius noticed he was leaving and called out to him.

"Oi! James! Get over here!" Sirius yelled to his friend but James just waved his hand in annoyance and started trotting out the door.

Lily had just rushed into the room and flew around the room in frenzy trying to find her other dye box.

"Ugh, I'm so stupid! Three days and I missed it!" She yelled a triumphant little yell as she found the box, and sat on the bed opening it she had just mixed the dye, when the door blasted open. Lily, who had taken her hair down and her contacts, jumped up spilling the goo everywhere. James stood, panting at the door. He stared at Lily's rapidly changing hair and at her bright green eyes. He stood for a very long time mesmerized until Lily moved. He shook his head and closed the door just as Lily swiped up the last of the dye and rushed to the bathroom door.

"Open the door Lily!" yelled James as he banged on the door. He had made the room sound proof and had put a spell on the door so it wouldn't open to anyone. Not even him or Lily until he took it off.

"Don't make me do this Lily!"

"Stop it James! You don't know what you're getting me into!" James blew the door down and Lily ducked into a corner. He grabbed her by the wrist, yanked her to the bed, and thrust her on it.

"Stop!" She closed her eyes and covered her now fully orange hair. He pulled her hands away and she fluttered her eyes open. She stared at his worried expression, tears in her eyes. He suddenly pulled away, taking the spell off the room and leaving. As the door slammed shut, Lily let of a squeaky sob and then rolled over and fell asleep.
