*Three Days Later*

James and Sirius were plotting together in the common room; their objective to get Lily Elizabeth Evans detention. The only question was how?

"Does that girl ever break the rules?" Sirius asked frustrated. They had stalked Lily watching and waiting for her to break a single rule.

"This is harder than I thought." James said.

"What are you two doing?" Remus asked.

"Trying to get Lily detention." James whispered.

"That's absurd," commented Remus.

"There has to be a way." James said.

"Yeah," Sirius was only in this for the challenge. "What if we framed her?"

"What do you mean?" James asked.

"I have an idea." Sirius eyes had a mischievous gleam.

Remus rolled his eyes. "I don't want to know. Because I want the ability to deny having heard any of this conversation, and when Lily kills you, I won't even bother to stop her. You two are idiotic gits, you know that?"

"Whatever," Sirius shrugged. Him and James put their heads together and began whispering.

*The next day- Before class*

Lily knew Potter was up to something. It had been a whole twenty-four hours and James Potter hadn't asked her out. He had even managed to stay out of trouble. What could he be up to?

Lily was walking along the corridor to Charms when she discovered what Potter had been plotting. He had to be him, didn't it?

JAMES POTTER IS AN IDIOT!

In the most exquisite handwriting was written all over the walls. Lily stared it was her handwriting, and although she agreed quite completely with the statement. She hadn't written it. Therefore, the most logical explanation was Potter had done it to frame her. But why? What motive did he posses to get her detention? What purpose did it serve?

"Miss Evans." It was Professor Flickwick.

"Professor," Lily started.

"Oh, my word." He stared at the wall.

"I didn't do this," Lily began. She thought about it and decided if she was in detention James couldn't ask her out. It was brilliant. Potter had wanted to get her in trouble, but it would backfire. He couldn't date someone in detention.

"Actually, I did do it." Lily said slowly.

Flickwick stared at her. He didn't believe her. "Miss Evans?"

"I deserve detention." Lily said brightly.

"Miss Evans?" Flickwick was going to suggest that Lily see the nurse. Nevertheless, he decided if she wanted detention he would oblige. Though why a good student like Lily Evans would willingly want detention was beyond him.

"Very well, Miss Evans, detention."
