Lily glanced at the.. the thing on the stairs and her mouthed dropped.

Instead of the usual Bonnie, which is basically an 'I'm-so-full-of-myself' type of appearance, there was a shriveled up body (like a prune) that was painted green with the words 'Slytherin rules!' written in silver all over it.

The teeth were the size of a 3" by 4" plank and a lovely shade of pink.

The eyes were the size of dinner plates and kept moving on their own. One moment both eyes were looking at you and the next one eye was looking to your side.

Quite eerie if you ask me. But then again you didn't.

The thing walked, well more like fell down the stairs, until it landed in the middle of the Common Room.

In a voice like that of nails scratching down a chalkboard, the thing called out, "Who did this to me?"

When it was answered with bursts of laughter, it started crying, or more like there was green puss oozing out of the dinner plate eyes.

"Please change me back. Just… change me back."

It said quietly while dropping its head into its hands.

James slipped his wand out unnoticeably and said the simple counter-spell.

When Bonnie realized she was back to normal she looked up angrily and searched for who could of done it. She never saw the silent exchange between the Marauders. All she saw was the fact that Lily and Narcissa decided to leave at that moment so obviously they had to be the guilty party.

"You did this to me!" she yelled pointing at Lily.

Lily spun around and looked at her incredulously. Lily pointed to herself and asked simply, "Me?"

"You did it! I know you did it. You were always jealous of me and you wanted to humiliate me."

"Now wait a minute. I am not jealous of you. I never have been and never will be. So get over yourself. I didn't put the spell on you so shut up," Lily said indignantly.

"YOU LIEING BITCH!" Bonnie screamed while marching over until she was breathing in Lily's face.

(Lily's thoughts at this moment)

Bonnie is practically in my face right now.

Whew! She needs a breath mint. Did she even bother to brush her teeth this morning?

I really don't think she should be in my face right now.

Lily was chanting to herself in her head, 'Get control of yourself. Get control of yourself,' in order to keep from hitting Bonnie.

But then a memory from childhood came forth and Lily remembered it silently.

The mischievous 8-year-old Lily decided the night before to play a simple prank on Petunia.

Lily got her supplies: shaving cream, a feather, long lasting lipstick and scissors.

She snuck quietly into Petunia's pink room. She then opened the can of shaving cream and sprayed it into Petunia's open hand.

She took the lipstick and drew pictures on Petunia's face, neck, arms, and legs, basically any uncovered skin. Luckily, Petunia was a deep sleeper.

Lily took the scissors and cut the hair off Petunia's favorite doll. Barbie.

Finally Lily tickled Petunia's nose with the feather and watched as Petunia unconsciously lifted her hand and swiped it across her face.

Lily took off to her room in peals of laughter.

The next morning found Lily up at 6 a.m. making breakfast for the family. This morning's serving consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon, orange juice, coffee (for her father), and toast.

Lily had everything ready at 7:30 a.m., precisely on time. Though this morning something a little different happened.

Petunia's screams were heard clearly in the kitchen. Lily had to suppress a giggle.

All of a sudden you could hear feet running towards the kitchen.

Petunia came charging down the stairs.

"You did this to me and to my doll!" she accused. Gesturing to her lipstick and shaving cream covered face and her bald doll.

With those words said she came at Lily in a fit of rage.

Petunia did the first thing that came to her mind; she slapped Lily across the face, which sent her small sister flying across the room.

Lily hit the wall and fell unconscious. But before the black took over she saw her sister's victorious smirk above her.

(Back to present)

"Now admit that you did it, whore."

With only silence meeting her ears, she decided to try a different way of getting an answer.

Bonnie raised her arm back as if to strike Lily and then let it fly with as much force as she could muster.

*SMACK*

Was what should have been heard sounding throughout the room, echoing off the walls.

But instead a sickening…

*Crunch*

Was heard. Resonating from ear to ear.

Apparently Lily decided to do something she never could have done when she was younger and her sister hit her… she fought back.

When Bonnie's arm came flying at her face, Lily caught it out of midair. Her training (kickboxing) was coming into play.

Before she had a chance to have a second thought she brought her other hand up and slammed both hands in opposite directions. This resulted in Bonnie's arm snapping like a twig.

No one moved. No one made a sound. Except when Bonnie's cry rang out. Her cry of pain. Immense pain was flooding her arm and slowly creeping into her body.

Lily slowly dropped Bonnie's oddly bent arm and stared at her hands disbelievingly.

The thought, 'Did I really just do that?' rang through her head.

Everyone looked from Lily to the withering form of Bonnie on the floor. One of Bonnie's friends came running forward and helped her up.

Bonnie's friend looked at Lily, "Can you please move? I would like to take her to the Hospital Wing." The girl flinched and waited for Lily's outburst but none came.

Lily just simply stepped aside unblinkingly.

"Thank you." The girl muttered while supporting Bonnie outside.

Narcissa looked up into Lily's blank face.

"Hey are you all right? Lily, speak to me." She proceeded to wave her hand in front of Lily's face.

That seemed to bring her back. Lily blinked and then looked unnervingly at Narcissa.

A small ghost of a smile broke out across Lily's face, "Never been better."

Lily turned to the rest of her house. They stared back at her. Most had their mouths hanging wide open.

Narcissa decided to speak up since Lily wasn't capable of it at the moment, "What the fuck are all of you staring at? Get the hell out of here."

When no one moved she barked, "NOW!"

With that there was a mad scurry out of the Portrait hole and past Lily.

When everyone cleared out Lily looked up again and saw that the Marauders decided to stick around along with Arabella.

Narcissa gently lead Lily to the couch and simply sat in silence with her. She had no clue what was going onand why Lily was so upset.

Arabella calmly walked over to the couch and sat across from Lily. She beckoned the Marauders to do the same.

James finally broke the silence.

"Lily, it's all my fault. I played the prank on Bonnie and I should have taken the rap for it."

Lily looked up, "You're right you should have but don't worry about it. I'm the one that did the damage."

Arabella spoke up, "It's really my fault. Bonnie has been saying shit to me and it just finally pushed me over the edge. So I told them," she gestured to the boys, "about it and they pulled the prank. If I had kept my big mouth shut then now of this would have happened."

Narcissa said gently, " It doesn't matter whose fault it is. It happened and there's no way to fix it. The question is who's going to take the blame when this gets to the Headmaster."

"I am." Came Lily's quiet reply.

"W. Wh. WHAT? Why?" Sirius sputtered.

"I said I would. I am the one that broke her arm. I'll take the blame."

"Then I'll take the blame for the prank." James said simply.

"No I will." Came Remus's reply.

"Look there's no reason for all of us to get into trouble. Let Potter take the blame if he wants." Lily sighed.

Narcissa nodded. "I have to agree with Lily." She glanced at her watch. "Shit lunch is halfway over."

She looked up at Lily, "Luscius will be mad if I don't get there soon. Want to go?"

Lily smiled, "Well we wouldn't want that to happen would we? So lets not kept the man waiting."

The Marauders finally realized whom they were talking to and whom the girls were speaking about so casually.

"You weren't being serious about meeting Malfoy were you?" Remus asked.

"Yup. That would be my boyfriend." Narcissa said with a hint of a 'you-better-not-go-there' attitude.

Lily and Narcissa stood up and walked slowly out of sight.

(Malfoy)

'Where is she?' he thought with a glance to his magical watch.

'She was supposed to be here 30 minutes ago,' he thought with a scowl.

He was currently leaning against a wall outside of the Great Hall waiting for his girlfriend Narcissa.

He had been confused by the huge stampede of Gryffindors a bit after breakfast had started; usually all of those slobs were early.

He only caught bits and pieces of conversations and mostly they referred to "Bonnie" "Arm was snapped" "by that freak" "Evans."

What he had been able to piece together was that this Bonnie chick had pissed off Evans and the result was Evans broke her arm.

If that was true he was going to have to watch his back.

One minute later he was brought back to reality by the sight of his girlfriend coming down the hall with Evans.

He growled and stepped forward menacingly.

But it didn't have the desired effect because when Narcissa saw him, she grabbed Lily's hand and came running towards him. In the end she dropped Lily's hand and hugged Luscius.

"What's this I hear about you breaking someone's arm, Evans?" he asked with a sneer.

Lily shrugged.

He turned to the girl in his arms.

"What is she doing here?" he said while thrusting his head at Lily.

"She's my friend so please be nice."

"YOUR WHAT? YO-" his rant was broken off by Narcissa kissing him on the lips.

Someone cleared their throat and the couple broke apart.

"Could you guys get a room to do that? Somewhere preferably without me in it?" Lily asked jokingly.

"We could but then there aren't anymore of your priceless expressions." Narcissa replied sweetly.

"Ha Ha Ha very funny. Well let's go in. I'm starved." Lily said with a rub to her stomach.

Luscius was still looking at her funny.

"Hey want to sit with me? Since I was in your tower this morning and all."

"Sure. Beats hanging out by myself at my house table, where the main topic of discuss will be 'Lily Evans, The freak, snapped Bonnie Hill's, the popular girl, arm like a twig!' That'll be the highlight of my day."

"You think you can handle the Slytherins, Gryff?" Luscius asked snidely.

"Yeah I deal with you on a regular basis, don't I?" Lily then threw open the doors to the Great Hall.

All talking in the Hall stopped except for a few whispers.

"What the fuck are you all staring at? Eat your damn food!" Lily exclaimed with pure venom dripping from each word.

Abruptly everyone started eating and whispering.

"Lead the way." Lily bowed slightly.

She then followed Narcissa and Malfoy to an open spot for 2 people.

"You know this is all nice and cozy and all. BUT I CAN'T BREATHE!" Lily exclaimed between breaths.

Malfoy looked at the nearest boy to his right, a 1st year.

"Move now boy!" he ordered him.

The boy Luscius spoke to jumped up and with a flash was gone.

Narcissa poked Malfoy. "Move over so she can breathe."

He grumbled slightly but moved.

Lily loaded her plate up with piles and piles of food.

"You're going to seriously eat all of that?" Narcissa asked wide-eyed.

"Yep it's not often I get to eat this much. So I simply remind myself to eat as much as I can when I can because I never know when my next meal is." Lily said with a shrug.

She then did exactly what she said she would.

Everyone around her started eating too.

Lily was on her 3rd plate when the Marauders walked in.

They glanced over at her and James actually had the balls to wink.

She responded to that with showing him the birdie (flicking him off), which he just grinned at.

The Headmaster stood up and everyone quieted down.

"I have recently been informed of a situation with the Gryffindors. Someone in the house physically hurt one of your housemates after a prank was pulled on the one that was hurt. I would like for whoever hurt their housemate to please step forward."

Everyone glanced to the Slytherin table, where Lily calmly took a sip of her juice and stood up.

" I did it sir." She said calmly.

"Very well. Are you also the one that pulled the prank?" he asked knowingly.

"I-"

"No sir I am the one who pulled the prank." James Potter, heartthrob of Hogwarts, Qudditch captain, chaser, a Marauder, and every girl's fantasy, stood up.

"Thank you for being honest with me Mr. Potter. Now Ms. Evans, Mr. Potter please follow me." He said beckoning to them.

The three walked silently through hall after hall. Until they reached the statue leading to Dumbledore's office.

He spoke the word "Gum drops" and stepped onto the moving stairs.

He opened the office door and walked into the circular room He then settled himself into his chair.

"This is a serious offence Ms. Evans. I'm afraid I'm going to have to….."
