Lily gets detention (March 2021)

James strolled into the Great Hall looking marginally confused. He waltzed up to a table (they could sit on any of the 4 now when it wasn't a special occassion) and plopped himself down on a bench next to his little brother. "You haven't seen Lily, have you Al?" he questioned the middle Potter, whose face was stuffed with food.

"Nah, I haven't. I went down to the dungeons this morning and checked her common room but she wasn't around."

James screwed up his face. "Hold on, who let you in the Slytherin dorms?"

Albus smirked. "Linzey Carvello. I asked her if she knew where Lily was, and she said she didn't. She had this weird little grin on her face though."

"Strange." He chewed the inside of his lip. "Where the hell would she be first thing on a Saturday morning?"

Al swallowed his food and then looked at his brother. "Why you so desperate to find Lils anyway?"

He sighed. "I was gonna take her to Hogsmeade for the day. Buy her some new stuff. Just thought it'd be nice you know. Freddie and Roxy are always spending time together- just felt like we should value family more. Especially with it being my last year at Hogwarts and all."

Al nodded then he also sighed. "Where could she be?"

At that moment, Professor Blackwell (head of Slytherin) walked past. "Are you boys alright? Who are you looking for?"

"Lily. Our sister," they both said in unison. Al continued. "You haven't seen her have you?"

Then to the Potter boys' suprise she started laughing. "Why yes, I have seen her. She's sat in my office doing a detention for innaproriate conduct within the school."

James stood up in suprise. "What? Lily got detention? What did she do?!"

The previous evening. Outside the Slytherin dungeons.

She was breathing heavily as her lips moved against his, her arms flung around his shoulders holding him firmly in position. He tried to pull away, but she pulled him back in closer. He took her arms off him and held them to her side. She frowned up at the boy opposite her. "Why did you stop? I was having fun." Her lips moved into a cheeky smile as she said this.

"So was I," said the boy (known as Josh Corner) as he pulled his hand through his hair, "but we probably shouldn't be doing this."

Lily shrugged. "Kissing a cute guy is hardly a punishable offence."

Josh paused. "So I'm cute then?... No. Stop. That's besides the point. You're Lily Potter. Albus is in my year. He'd kill me if he found out I was doing anything to dent his baby sister's innocence."

"I'm hardly a baby!" Lily scoffed. "And anyway, you're a Ravenclaw- you and and Albie aren't even in the same house."

Josh wanted to consider her reasoning, especially with the way she was pulling herself in closer to lay her hand on his chest. However he regained his posture. "What about James. He's a seventh year. And he was Gryffindor Quidditch Captain for the last two years. He could pummel me in a heartbeat."

Lily laughed a tuneful laugh. "Let's stop talking about my brothers for a bit, and focus on... More important matters." Her voice drawled as she slowly whispered the last few words in his ear. She then started to kiss there, the sensitive part at the top of his neck. He tried to resist, but then he wasn't wanting to anymore. Within seconds Lily was pressed with her back to the wall, and her lips once more moving enthusiastically against Josh's. There was nothing that could make them stop. Well, they thought there wasn't.

"Ahem," a voice coughed from behind them. They immediately pulled away as they recognised the tone. They gulped, then spun around to face Professor Blackwell.

"Professor, Hi. We weren't doing anything... Umm, shit. I mean shoot. Oh Merlin, please. We were just talking," Josh spluttered.

Lily remained completely calm where she stood, as Professor Blackwell laughed.

"Is that what you kids are calling it now? In my day, it was just known as kissing." She became more serious. "Ten points from both your houses. Lily, I'll be expecting you in my office at 9am sharp for your detention, and Josh- I will be having a word with Professor Flitwick."

The two students both nodded, then briskly walked back to their respective dorms.

"WHAT?!" both James and Al were fuming. They both looked at each other with a knowing look, then stormed back to the Gryffindor tower to get their wands so as to hex that boy to oblivion.

They practically yelled the password at the Fat Lady, and stormed into the common room. Before they could get to their dorms though, they were stopped.

"What's got your Kneazles in a twist?" Rose asked, briefly looking up from the game of Exploding Snap she was playing with Roxanne and Scorpius.

Albus went red with anger. "Lily has been kissing boys! In school! My little, innocent, 2nd year sister, has been taken advantage of by older guys."

The three stopped their game to look at the Potter boys. "You're not serious are you? That's why you're pissed off?"

Albus nodded furiously, then something unexpected happened. They burst out laughing.

James stepped in. "Why the hell are you laughing?! This isn't a bloody joke. Guys are using Lily for their own means!"

Roxy clutched her stomach as she explained. "You do know that your 'innocent' sister is the one instigating it, right?"

Rose continued, "And you do know that this is the 4th detention she's got this year because of it?"

The boys looked utterly confused. "Wait... What? You're lying!"

Scorpius piped up. "Of course we're not. She followed me around, the whole of December trying to catch me under mistletoe."

And that's when it became real. Both James and Albus simultaneously crashed onto the sofa, with a look of plain daze in their eyes.

Roxy laughed, "Someone get these guys a drink. They've only just had the realisation that their sister isn't exactly what they expected her to be."

There's chapter 4. I know that I tried to take a different angle with how I presented the story to this one, but I hope it's alright. The ending fell flat, but I haven't quite perfected those yet. Next chapter is Chapter 5: Molly's walk of shame. Please, please review- I need to know what you're thinking. Bg. 97 xx
