Lily was a little angry, but not much. James had promised to let her handle things, but it was awfully entertaining watching lucius struggle with everything. It was only first period, so lily hadn't gotten the chance to ask james what exactly he had done yet, but it was still fairly amusing.
Lily put her hand up and said "the great wizard, elamander xavier, when he invented the conjuring spell back in 1621."
Lily was in history of magic right now, one of her favorite classes. And one she was quite good at too. She put forth more effort than she usually did in her classes because she found it so interesting.
"Very good, lily, except it was 1631." lily's cheeks went pink.
"Oh i'm sorry, professor." she exclaimed "that's what i meant."
"It's quite alright, lily." said professor binns, emotionless, as usual. Although lily enjoyed the class quite a bit, it wasn't always easy to pay attention to professor binns teaching. Or to even stay awake, for that matter.
James was hardly paying attention to class. It was potions and malfoy had accidently just thrown his entire cauldron when he tried to move it over. Sirius had lost it laughing and incidentally ended up in more trouble than Malfoy. But what could James say? Malfoy was the favorite.
…
The rest of the day passed with a lot of entertainment about lucius. He eventually figured out the pattern during their last class but, lucky for james, only a few minutes after he figured it out the spell wore off and when he went to pick up his quill he used too much force and his hand swung back and hit a sixth year in the back of the neck as they were walking past. Naturally, chaos ensued. However, this was their ancient runes class and the teacher was a strictly no-nonsense person so the chaos lasted for a total of about fifteen seconds before the sixth year and malfoy were both issued a half hour detention later that night.
Malfoy turned back and looked at james with a snarl. He had also figured out that it was the marauders who had cast the spell on him. Not that it was a very hard thing to figure out. They kind of had a reputation and luci was no stranger to being the test dummy of their newest pranks. This was one of the best, though.
After class ended luci crossed over to James angrily.
"I know you did it, potter." he snarled
"Did what?" james feigned ignorance. He knew it wasn't convincing, but hell it sure was fun.
"You- you- you did something!"
"Can you prove it, malfoy?" james asked with a smirk
"No, but i daresay should i go to a teacher with it they would definitely believe me. It's not like this is a first for you."
"You see, malfoy," james countered standing up and gathering his bag "should you try and turn me in i could also give the teachers some information on some spells you've cast, and i daresay the'd believe me once i told them who you cast it on. After all, i assume that wasn't a first for you."
If this was a cartoon luci's ears would have been overflowing with smoke and his face would have been beet red with anger. Actually, his face was beet red with anger, they were just missing the smoke.
"I'll get you back for this, potter, i swear i will."
"Good that, malfoy," james said and clapped him on the shoulder "you'll certainly have some time to think about it during your detention tonight, anyway." and with a sincere smile james turned on his heel and exited the class, leaving malfoy sputtering behind him.
