A/N: Sorry if this part seems pointless. I'm just trying to get the characters' personalities straight. I'm still in hate with this fic. I don't know what is driving me to finish it. I love reviews and thanks to all the nice people who reviewed. You're probably the only reason I'm continuing this thing I so fondly call a story. And thanks to all those people who suggested what Lily could do to James.

***

James Potter was quite satisfied with his life. Yep. He had everything he could ask for. He had his good looks, his endless supply of girls, his quidditch skills, and his group of friends. He had just had a successful breakup with the Hufflepuff 6th year, Briana, and was now contemplating who his next girlfriend would be. Frankly, he was sick of the Hufflepuffs. He had dated just about every girl from 5th year and up in that house. A Ravenclaw would be nice. They were smart, not ditzy like most of the Hufflepuffs. James was interrupted by the voice of Sirius Black, his closest friend.

"It's a shame that prank didn't work on Lily. She had it coming to her, the way she leads all those guys on."

"And what do you think it is that we do everyday, Sirius?" James asked, dryly.

"It's different with us. We're men. We're supposed to lead girls on. It's our job."

"I agree. But I personally think you still hold a grudge against Lily for the time she dumped you in 5th year." James said slyly.

"I am so over that." Sirius sniffed. "Besides it was a mutual breakup."

"Uh huh. I'm sure it was."

"You're right Lily. This calls for some serious payback." Maria stated with vengeance. "Nobody tries to get the best of Lily Evans and comes out of the experience alive!"

"Why do I have the distinct impression you're making fun of me?" Lily asked dully.

"Because, dear flower, I am. But I will help you get back at James. As cute as he may be, that pompous jackass deserves what he has coming to him."

"Here we go again." Rachel muttered under her breath.

The four girls were gathered in their dorm, discussing the current dilemma. Rachel and Meagan had a sense of foreboding. How many times before had they been dragged into one of Lily and Maria's crazy plans and barely come out of it alive?

"I think they're insane." Meagan said to Rachel knowledgeably. "I really and truly think we're friends with a couple of nutcases."

Lily, who had heard the last comment, grinned at the two girls. "You know that's why you love us. Can you imagine how boring the two of you would be without us? I can just picture it now." She shuddered. "The thought scares me. Are you two gonna help us or not?"

"Of course we are. We're always dragged into your stupid ideas anyway. There's no point in resisting." Rachel said with a sigh. "But I'm going to approve the plan before we do anything stupid."

Lily and Maria had identical, evil grins on their faces. "This is gonna be fun." Maria said gleefully.

"This is never gonna work. I can't even believe we're gonna try this." Rachel said fretfully.

Megan nodded her head appreciatively, agreeing with Rachel.

"Well, you approved it. You can't back out of it now." Lily whispered. "And keep your voice down. You'll wake up the whole castle."

It was 3:00 in the morning, and they were on their way up to the boys dorm to carry out their plan. Even Lily wasn't sure it would work, but she kept her doubts to herself.

"Ok, all we have to do is go into his room, slip the potion into his water, and get out as fast as we can. Tomorrow morning all we've got to do is make sure the first girl he sees is Tabitha Parkinson."

"How the Hell are we gonna do that?" Rachel moaned. "Tabitha's in Slytherin. James is bound to see other girls before her."

"Well, the love potion takes effect on the first girl he sees, and I really want it to be Tabitha." Maria said. "We'll figure out a way later. Let's just carry out the first part of the plan right now."

The girls had now reached the door to the seventh year boy's room. Inside they could hear the sound of snores and what sounded like someone talking in their sleep.

"Here goes nothing." Meagan said, pushing the door open.

It was pitch black inside the room, obviously something they hadn't thought of.

"Shit. I can't see a thing." Maria hissed.

"We'll just have to feel our way. I've been up here before with Sirius-" Lily was interrupted by Maria.

"Ooh, what were you doing?" Lily could tell Maria was grinning even in the dark.

"Anyway," she said pointedly, "I know James' bed is the one on the far right of the door. Follow me." Lily commanded.

They formed a line, with Lily in the lead.

"Shit!" Lily muttered under her breath as she stubbed her toe. "Who would leave their trunk in the middle of the floor?"

A moment later she whispered, "We're there. Now, who has the potion?"

"Me." Meagan's voice spoke out. "Here."

As Meagan reached out to give Lily the potion, her foot caught on something(most likely the trunk)and she pitched forward. Lily barely had time to grab the potion before she was knocked onto James' bed.

James groaned in sleep and rolled over, slinging his arm over Lily and trapping her.

"Uh-oh." Megan whispered, voicing what they were all thinking.

"Well, uh...Lily, I guess we'll see you in the morning." Maria said unable to hide the laughter in her voice. "Pleasant dreams."

Lily heard them shuffling out of the room and the sound of the door creaking shut.

This could not be happening. No way on Earth was she trapped in a bed with James Potter with no way to get out. Could her life get any worse? And so much for her friends helping her out. They were obviously enjoying this. Lily would bet her broomstick they were safely back in their dorm laughing hysterically over the entire matter.

"How am always getting myself into these messes?" She groaned inwardly.

James' answer was to snuggle against her chest, making himself quite comfortable.

A/N: Sorry this is so short, but I just felt I had to end it there. I should have the next part up in a day or two. I forget who gave me the idea of having Lily fall on James' bed while he was asleep, but whoever it was, thanks for the great idea! I hope everyone liked it!
