A Word from the Author: Hello everyone, it's jediclonecowgirl, with the new chapter of Legacy of Windy. This time, it's all about sneaking out at night and class pranking. Especially dear old Snape. Heh...

Lily pulled the door of the girl's dorm shut and slipped along the hallways of Gryffindor tower in her pyjamas and orange morning gown, as soon as she was sure, that no one of her roommates was following her. It was already past curfew and Lily had told the boys, that they would meet after curfew in the dorm room of the Gryffindor first year boys. She heared a door creek almost silently and saw James in the frame. He was also wearing a morning gown.

"Come in! Quick!", he hissed.

Lily's steps got faster, after James had said that, and then she slipped into the room. She was greeted by Sirius, Remus and Peter, who were all wearing morning gowns too.

"Okay...now I can present the surprise to you.", James said, as he pulled out his trunk from under his bed and opened it.

He pulled out a silvery and light looking piece of cloth, but as he pulled it over he suddenly disappeared. Lily tumbled a few steps backwards and surely would've fallen down and woken up the entire castle, if Sirius hadn't grabbed her by the arms. Remus and Peter all the while were getting eyes, as big as plates. Suddenly James was there again.

"Heirloom of my family. An invisibility cloak. Belonged to my father, when he was a kid and now it's mine.", James grinned.

"Cool.", the boys all said in unision.

"Wow...", Lily exclaimed.

"Come under it. It's big enough to fit all five of us.", James ecouraged his friends.

One by one the others got under James's cloak. Lily was impressed as she looked around in the room.

"Okay...to make this clear James: We are under your invisibility cloak and can see everything and everyone, but no one can see us?", Lily asked.

"Yeah...that's the advantage of those things, but the disadvantage is, that they do next to nothing to clog out our voices, so we better keep them down, when we go out tonight.", James said.

Neither Lily nor the boys had any time to protest, not that anyone wanted to anyways. They all liked the idea. As they stepped outta the portrait hole the couldn't resist to bite back giggles. Curfew had passed long ago. They had all grown to love to tweek with authority and especially the teachers.

"Just throw the rules overboard.", Sirius grinned.

"And no one will ever suspect, that it was us, who snuck out at night.", Lily added.

"That's about to change guys.", Remus hissed and Lily had to agree with that, as they saw, what was in front of them.

It was Mrs. Norris and where Mrs. Norris was Filch couldn't be very far. Over the months at Hogwarts Lily had learned, that Filch was mental. She could already tell it by the fact, that he was asking Dumbledore permission to let her, her friends and anyone else, who got punished in Hogwarts, hang from his office celling by the ankles or whip them and he did it really really often, even as Lily had set off Dungbombs near the common room of the Slytherins, what had luckily only earned her detention with Professor McGonnagall. If it had been for Filch she surely would've been whipped. There was also not a single student at Hogwarts, who wasn't at Slytherin, who didn't want to give Mrs. Norris a good hard kick. The students all sassed with Filch's rules and Lily and the boys, who loved tweeking with authority, fired it up. James had even gotten the idea one day, to break into his office and get as much confiscated stuff as they all could carry and hand it back to the rightful owners. They had even justified it in front of the prefects by saying, that they had only wanted to give students their posessions back, what had certainly amused them, but Lily, James Remus, Sirius and Peter had winded up in detention with McGonnagall. They still had managed to give back much of the stuff they had nicked. Under that stuff had been a bunch of fireworks from the Prewitt twins, a battered copy of "Jinxes and Counterjinxes" , which belonged to Marlene McKinnon, apperantly Filch had confiscated it at her first year at Hogwarts, because she had practised the jinxes with the Prewitt twins in the corridors, some muggle pens, which belonged to a half-blood Ravenclaw student, Lily had forgotten the name from and even a Hufflepuff girl's diary, which Filch had confiscated, because this girl was hanging around the Prewitt twins really often. Lily had no idea, why Filch confiscated a diary. Suddenly she heared Filch's voice down the hallway.

"Boys! Filch is near us!", Lily hissed.

"Dammit! We better make a run for it!", James hissed back.

As far as it was possible under James's cloak, they raced down the corridors, until they winded up in a hallway.

"That was a close call!", Sirius panted.

"Hey...be lucky, that it was only Filch and that we were able to make an escape, before he has seen us! If that had been Peeves, we surely would've been dead meat.", Lily hissed.

"Indeed.", James murmured.

Peeves...the school's poltergeist. If there was someone, that Filch hated more, than the students, who were mostly even sassing with his rules, it was Peeves! He spent his days at school making mischief and was called the "master of chaos" at Hogwarts. He dumped crockroaches on the heads of students, flooded bathrooms, caused mischief in the kitchen and basically was a pain in the neck to almost anyone at Hogwarts. The students, the teachers, the prefects and mostly Filch, who couldn't understand, why Dumbledore kept him in the castle. He sometimes even sang rude songs about the students, if anything bad had happened to them. He had already sung some songs about her, Peter and Remus.

"You know what guys? Maybe this was a bad time to sneak outta the common room at night...", James mumbled.

"You might be right Jamie. Classes are going to be a pain tomorrow, if we stay up any longer.", Sirius added.

"Besides...we still gotta welcome Snivellus and his friends properly.", James said, with a mischievous grin.

"Anything planned out yet?", Sirius asked.

"Nothing, but we'll come up with something. We always do.", James said.

Soon they arrived at Gryffindor tower, James said the password and they all walked in. As soon as the fat lady closed again, they took off the cloak.

"Well boys...tomorrow down here?", Lily asked.

"Indeed Lily.", they all grinned, as Lily skipped up to the girl's dormitory.

Still...inside the room was a surprise waiting for her. A surprise with the name Jacky Moon. She was sitting onto her bad and glared at Lily.

"May I ask, where you have been? Sneaking out, even though it's past curfew?", Jacky asked in a way, that reminded Lily of the way her mother had acted towards Petunia, when she had been out too long.

"Who wants to know?", Lily growled.

She certainly did not want to argue with Jacky now. She was more, than tierd and she wanted to pay attention in class tomorrow...well at least somewhat.

"I don't know about you and your brutish companions, but I do NOT want Slytherin to win the cup.", Jacky hissed.

"Neither do we!", Lily growled, crawling under the covers of her bed.

"If this was true, you wouldn't keep pulling pranks and breaking the rules! This one thing, before Christmas break alone: How many housepoints were taken from us again?", Jacky asked.

"Why do you care so much, what we are doing? I do not have to stand trial in front of you! You are neither a prefect, nor a teacher!", Lily growled turning away from Jacky, who didn't seem to like this one bit.

"Don't just turn away, when I talk to you!", Jacky almost yelled.

"And when I do so MUM? What do you do then? Send me to my room?", Lily growled.

"I wish I could do so!", Jacky hissed.

This was the end of things for Lily. She couldn't care less at the moment, if she woke Kelly or Hestia. This girl was acting, like she had the power of a prefect or even the HEAD GIRL!

"But you CAN'T, because you are neither MY mother nor the one of those two!", Lily said in a really loud voice, pointing to the sleeping forms of Hestia and Kelly.

"You do not have the slightest right to command Hestia, Kelly and me around, because you are just as young as we are!", Lily added just as loud.

Then, without another word, she layed back and tried to sleep. She clearly couldn't stand Jacky Moon at the moment. She behaved like she was the queen of the entire house and she thought she had the power of prefects or heads. If it wouldn't be really awkward towards the boys, she would've skipped at their dormitory. Lily's mood still lifted at Transfiguration class next day. She was sitting next to James at this subject and their seats were two rows behind the one of Snape and Mulciber.

"Now take a look at this Lily. At this Ravenclaw's table and from their into Snape's ear.", James whispered into Lily's ear.

He took his wand, which was onto his part of the desk and stuffed some small parchment balls into his mouth.

"That's disgusting James.", Lily hissed.

James acted, like he hadn't heared her and spat the parchment balls into his hand. Then he gave Remus and Peter, they were sitting at the desk in front of them, a sign to duck their heads a bit and sent the wet parchment balls flying with a wave of his wand. They winded up into Snape's ears and at the back of Mulciber's head. As Mulciber and Snape turned their head, James was playing innocent, but him, Remus, Peter, Sirius and Lily were sniggering, until McGonnagall asked them, what was so funny.

"Giggling attack Professor. Sorry.", Lily panted.

"Professor, they sent spitballs at us!", Snape yelled out, while plucking the spitballs outta his ears.

"We didn't!", James growled and Lily nodded.

"I can bear witness!", Sirius yelled from his spot next to Kelly Spinnet.

"So can I!", Kelly yelled at the same moment with a wink towards Lily.

"And I!", Hestia spoke up behind Lily.

"And us too!", Remus said and Peter nodded.

In the end it was the word of seven Gryffindors against two Slytherins. Professor McGonnagall had decided, that, if no one could prove, who set the spitballs at Snape and Mulciber, she would just proceed with the class. After the class ended, Lily told herself, that she would pin down Hestia and ask her, why she hadn't turned James in to McGonnagall. They were halfway at Charms classroom, when Lily finally reached Hestia.

"You saw, that James did it, didn't you?", Lily asked and Hestia nodded.

"Then why didn't you say in front of McGonnagall, that James set the spitballs at Snape and Mulciber?", Lily asked.

"I heared the little conversation between you and Jacky last night and I did not want you to think of me like this. I do not think, that I am ever gonna warm up to your companions, but I will try.", Hestia whispered with a smile.

"Lily? You comin'?", Lily suddenly heared Sirius ask.

"I gotta...", she began.

"Me too.", Hestia said and they ran off to their friends.

Ending Word: Sooo...this was chapter 14. This story is almost halfway done. I hope you leave some reviews behind and I hope you all like this story so far. Now all I have left to say is bye, bye and mischief managed.
