Chapter 5—Not That Kind of Girl
It was Lily Evans.
'What are you doing here?' James asked in a surprised tone.
'Sorry guys,' said Lily in an apologetic tone, 'I painted Lucius' hair pink. But I didn't know you were in trouble for that until 5 minutes ago.'
It took the boys a few minutes to realize what Lily had just said. Lily sat on the floor polishing trophies magically while the boys stood motionless on the spot. Then-
'You? Painted Malfoy's hair?' they said unanimously.
'Of course,' said Lily in a matter-of-fact tone, 'living in the environment I lived in, you just couldn't help noticing that Lucius' hair looked much more interesting in pink. As for the smoke, I just added it to show how his personality.' Lily broke into one of her most attractive giggles.
'But I thought…' said Sirius, still dumb struck, 'but I thought you weren't a prankster.'
'Me? Not a prankster?' said Lily as if she was highly offended. 'Me? Lily the holy terror, not a prankster? This is a scandal. An absolute scandal!'
'You certainly didn't sound like one when you were talking about your talent yesterday.' Reasoned Remus.
'Blimey Remus, I can't tell too much of myself to total strangers. You know how many stupid unreasonable people dislike pranksters.'
'You may say that again.' Said James, then he turned to Remus and Sirius and said triumphantly, 'I told you not to conclude whether Lily is a prankster or not so quickly.'
Sirius opened his mouth to said something but at this precise moment, Professor McGonagall walked in…she saw Lily and the boys…she turn white with fury…then red…for a moment she looked as if she was going to explode…then-
'Explain.' She said simply.
'Well…' said Sirius, but Lily cut in,
'Professor, I dyed Malfoy's hair pink, it wasn't the boys.' Lily said easily and almost as simply as Professor McGonagall did.
The professor, again, turned white and then red, after that, she frowned in confusion,
'Well…in that case Lily, you silly girl, why did you do that? 40 points of Gryffindor.' Lily tried to look ashamed, but didn't quite succeed.
Then, to everyone's surprise, Professor McGonagall started laughing, 'sorry boy, I guess I'd have to make it up to you by giving you 5 points each. You can go to the common room to tell Mr. Pettigrew to stop copying the book now.' She walked off laughing.
'Wow,' said Remus, 'that is so unlike McGonagall.'
The boys nodded in agreement, Lily, however, bounced off to bed quickly.
'Well, Mr. James Potter, Lily is certainly not that kind of girl we think she is.' Said Sirius, trying to imitate Gilderoy Lockhart.
'No, she's definitely not that kind.' Replied James in a mocking solemn tone not unlike the Lockhart one.
