Whoops, forgot the disclaimer! I have failed to master the Memory Charm, so I'm unable to make my idol, J.K. Rowling, forget she owns the rights to the best series of books ever created, and bewitch everyone to believe I wrote it. Darn.

Lily and her friends excused themselves and hurried to the library, where they huddled around the tiny scroll of parchment. They didn't dare read it aloud for fear of Madam Pince. It read

Change of plans for Tuesday: Bewitch the ceiling of the Great Hall so that it looks like it's raining

cats and dogs. Might drive today's *incident* out of everybody's heads. Who do you think did this,

anyway? Snivellus?

Lily's expression tightened as she read the last word. She'd never forgive Severus, but she didn't want him to pay for her pranks. Oh, well, the boys would be so distracted by what she next was planning that pranking Severus would be the last thing on their minds. She, Alice, and Priscilla went up to their dorms for free period and started planning. This next trick would certainly be fun, she thought, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.

The next morning, Alice shook Lily awake and thrust an armful of scrolls at her. Lily jumped up and they performed the Muffliato charm on themselves. It wasn't really necessary- the boys snored like rhinos and slept like logs- but better safe than sorry, right? The girls stifled their giggles and tiptoed into the boys' dormitory.

Lily grimaced as a horrible smell hit her nostrils. Ugh, they were such pigs. Trying not to breathe, she pulled out her wand and started performing her speciality- charms. About a quarter of an hour later, the girls were done. The spell would activate right when they woke up. If they tried to vanish this, it would double in intensity. Stun it? It would double in size. Try to affect someone else with it? Nothing would happen. However- and this was Lily's favorite part- if the boys got too close to each other, thier "surprises" would combine and make them thoroughly miserable.

The girls ran out of the dormitory, sighing in relief as they got to their own. Lily grabbed her freesia essential oil and dabbed a drop right under her nose, so she'd smell it all day... that might not be helpful in potions. She wiped it off and put some on her wrists instead. The girls quickly showered, dressed, and went down to breakfast. The Great Hall had not fared well. It not only looked like a hurricane, despite the day's cheerful weather, but was actually raining cats and dogs. They did disappear about two feet over the tables, but the yowling and barking was quite distracting. Oh well. The Marauders would pay for it soon enough.

To none of the girls' surprise, the boys were late to potions. Slughorn glanced over at Lily, saw her looking at the door, and gave her a knowing smile. She blushed and looked down at her Amortentia. Lily had gotten ahead on her potions, and was now ahead of anyone in the class. She breathed deeply and inhaled the pleasant smell of new parchment, Mum's chocolate fudge, and... was that James' cologne?

Think of the devil, she thought to herself as the door burst open. Four soggy, dispirited, cranky boys stalked in, not looking as lofty as usual. Each of them had a raging squall over their head. It poured water, snowed, crackeled with lighting, and occasionally hailed. Lily didn't hate the boys, so she'd made sure that nothing left a mark, they were only embarassed and wet. And embarassed they were. Lily noted with a smile that each was twice the size and intensity as she'd originally planned- they had tried to Vanish and Stun them.

The whole class burst into laughter, which may or may not have been helped by their Cheering Conoctions. The boys sat down and tried to start their own, but may have been a bit... under the weather, as their potions failed to force out even a smile.

Throughout the day, the boys couldn't go anywhere without being followed by shouts of laughter. The precipitation evaporated once it hit the floor, so there was no comfort for the boys at all. They suddenly noticed the absence of the three girls. James suddenly looked stunned as it hit him like a ton of feathers.

"Lily."

Sorry I haven't written in so long! I recently got a really nice comment from LittleMissLilyBug, and I finally remembered my poor story. I also had a comment from shadowedlife, sorry I never acknowledged that! So, how is it so far? Please review!
