Disclaimer: Any characters you recognize from J.K. Rowling's novel were created by her, not me. I don't think she'd write on Fanfiction.

I know this is really, really short, but I typed this on my iPod on a bus full of eighth graders. For five hours, my friend was pulling my hair and poking me. To make up for this, I'll try to make the next chapter extra long, okay? SORRY!


Lily hurried into the Great Hall. Her mind was reeling. Her? Plan pranks? Now that she'd gotten some air, she realized the enormity of the situation. She'd never pranked anyone but Tuney before, and that had only been the bag-of-water-over-the-door trick. She'd definitely need some help. Lily sat down next to Priscilla, her best friend. They had met on the train in their first year, and had been inseparable ever since.

"Cill, you'll never believe what just happened!"

"Let me guess. Something to do with.. James?

Lily smiled. " I suppose that everything has to do with James these days, right? You guessed it. It's a bit of a story, but.."

She told Priscilla everything, starting from the suit of armor, which made her smile.

"Lil, that actually might be fun!"

Lily pondered that. Even though he was her boyfriend, she had to admit he had an enormous ego. It would be fun to show him up. And she was much better at Charms that he was- he could barely wave his wand without messing up. She grinned. "Cill, let's go find Alice."

The two girls found their friend in the library. She was reading a history of space-extending charms and summarizing it, homework that was due the next week. Lily and Priscilla had done half of it the night before and planned to finish hat night. "Alice!" Priscilla whispered loudly. Madam Pince was dusting the ancient biographies nearby, and had shot them an annoyed glance at the soft thuds of their feet. "The oddest thing just happened to Lily!" Priscilla repeated the strange events to Alice, who was extremely amused at the news. "Can I help?" For the third time that hour, Lily was very surprised. "I.. suppose so," she said, wondering what had come over everyone. "Well, he's starting tomorrow, so.."

By the time lunch was over, the girls had planned and diagrammed a foolproof prank.

"Ready for tomorrow?" Lily grinned.
