A/N: Thank you for the wonderful reviews! Because of that, I'm not going to be too evil, and so I will write more about the prank than the play!!! (HURRAY!!! NO MORE BORDEM!) As a quote a person whose author's note I loved, (I don't remember who...) Flames will be sent back to their sendee's in the form of a fiery howler. On with the show! (Quite literally.)
"One two three, one two three, and spin! One two three, one two three, now the relive peiroet!" (A/N: I don't know how to spell the French ballet terms, please excuse the misspellings.)
James groaned at the thought of going through this routine again. Acting and being temporarily in love with Lily was bad enough, at least he didn't know what he was doing. With dancing, however, and listening to Lily make sarcastic remarks about his two left feet, the confundus charm seemed like bliss.
Professor Flitwick went unmercifully on with his choreography. "Now gentlemen, lift the ladies, and spin!"
"I'm not a sack of potatoes, you know," Lily snapped as James put her down rather ungracefully.
"I'm sorry, my lady, but Peter would be lighter than you are!" James said with a mock bow as the ballroom music went on. This was not true. James thought he should probably be thankful for his extremely light partner, but didn't feel like bringing it up at the moment.
"Now bow, and exit stage right! NO NOT YOU! Lily and James, please stay on stage! Enter Mary, stage Left! Lily, touch James shoulder, and then bring Mary over to him! Good! Now, float...float...STAGE CREW!"
"WHAT??"
Snape, looking as surly as ever, came running out on to the stage. "YES Professor?"
Flitwick missed the sarcasm. "This girl is a ghost, and needs to float. YOU KNOW the wingardium Leviosa charm was supposed to be put on her two minutes before! MAKE HER FLOAT!" Lily suddenly shot four feet taller into the air. "Thank you," Flitwick said, dismissing Snape with a wave of his hand. James pulled Lily back down to earth as practice ended.
"Can you do that on yourself?" He asked as they walked down the hall.
"Easily," she answered, floating about four feet higher than James's head.
"What about to anybody else?" James suddenly shot up to Lily's height. "Ok, put me back down now..."
Lily hit the ground and watched gleefully as James attempted to get himself down.
"You know," she said, as if mulling over an extremely hard problem, "I think I rather like you better up there..."
Sirius walked by, and looked at Lily, who was positively cackling with glee.
"What...OH!" Sirius began to laugh as well. James, however, like the queen, was not amused.
"Put me down!" He yelled, causing more stares, it didn't help much, however, that Sirius was rolling on the floor from laughter. Lily grinned, then grabbed his hand and yanked, causing him to land in a heap on the floor.
"That's what happens next time you drop me and or step on my feet when dancing," She said, grinning down at him. "A nip of your own medicine, if you know what I mean." She walked away, without looking back.
"You know James," said Sirius, who was on the floor next to him, still slightly laughing, "Maybe she should be prongs...she certainly has a way of getting even." He cracked up again and helped James to his feet.
~**~
(A/N: Should I be evil and stop it there??? Nah.)
"So anyway," said Sirius in a low voice, "what we do is make Remus float with that lovely spell that Lily does..."
"One problem...Lily's the only person in the school that can do it."
"What's this about me floating???" They had just currently got out of history of magic, and Remus was trying hard to shake off sleep.
"Yes, but you're floating is only in step one in the biggest prank ever. It's just the distraction, now shut up and let me finish!" Remus had opened his mouth in objection, took a look at Sirius's face, and closed it. "That's just the point, my dear James, but Lily isn't the only one who can do it. In fact, nobody knows she can. The only person that is known in the school who can float people is none other than Mr. Severus Snape!"
James grinned. "And this is just diversion?" He asked, looking closely at Sirius, who was grinning so evilly that James could practically see the devil horns.
"We get Snape in the diversion? That's a new factor..."
Sirius signed his name with a flourish on a piece of parchment. "Oh believe me, this plan gets so much better than the original one..."
A/N: I am going to be evil and stop it here. HEHEHE! But anyway, I hope you realize that you're going to get bits and pieces of the plan, but not the whole thing till the very end. Sorry. But anyway, review please!
