A/N : Hey, I hope you like this part and please review!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bringgggggggggggggg! Went Lily's alarm clock at 7:15 am on a Monday morning. "Argggggggh", turn that flipping muggle thing of Lily, I'm tierd," yelled Rhian grumpily from across the room. "Okay", Lily replied unusually cheerful for this time in the morning. Even though she was still tierd, she was to excited to lie in as this was going to be her first school day.
As she dressed in her plain black Hogwarts robes, brushed her hair and put it up in a pony, leaving a few strands of hair hanging down each side off her face, she wondered what lessons she would have today as they were to give out their time tables at breakfast. Reading through her schoolbooks she had bought in Diagon alley, charm's seamed the best, whilst she didn't like look of potions. Mixing up parts of spiders, newts and other such creatures didn't sound too appealing to her.
Twenty minutes later, when Rhian had finally gotten out of bed, along with Sophie and Lyndsey, Lily sat on her bed flicking a book on transfiguration, whilst Rhian brushed her hair, and went on, and on about how James and Sirius are attempting to this year break the school record for the most detentions. "The current records something like 325 a year, they've got a bet of 15 galleons on whoever gets the most", she said as she stuffed her hat on. "Wow," said Lily in amazement thinking of what the parents of that child would of said. Suddenly, Lily noticed a snowy, white cat meowing up at her. As she placed it on her lap, and started to stroke its silky white fur, Rhian sighed. "Tom," she said in disbelief. "What", said Lily confused. "Tom, my Cat, mums going to kill me when she finds out, he was supposed to stay at home," she sighed smiling. "Oh Tom, you naughty thing," she cooed sitting down on the bed next to Lily, "You're going to get me in so much trouble." Knock, knock, knock! "Can we come in" said James sticking his head round the door, "Quick Lily," hissed Rhian to Lily, trying to hide Tom under the covers but to late. "Tom," said James pulling the covers of Lily's bed off him. "Ohhh Rhi-anne" said Sirius in a sarcastic strict voice grinning. "Its not my fault", she wined. "He must have sneaked into my trunk." James snorted. "Its true" she wined. "Maybe," he said, "but taking into account that you kinda threatened to sneak him here anyway, after four days of rows on weather he's coming or not, I'm sure mum and dad are going to believe you". "Hey Lil," Sirius shouted over James and Rhian's argument. "You wanna go down for breakfast? We'll miss it if we wait for them two." Lily glanced over at Rhian and James, finally seeing the resemblance in the two as well as seeing that Sirius's theory was right. Calling a swift 'bye' as she ducked a flying alarm clock, and followed Sirius out of the door.
As she and Sirius followed a group of Hufflepuffs down to the Great hall, Sirius tried to explain to Lily the rules of a wizarding sport called Quidditch. "Right, so there's four balls, which two of try to kill the players," said a very confused Lily sitting down next Remus and Peter, who handed her a timetable. "No, they don't aim to kill, just knock them off their brooms", he said exasperated sitting down next to her, but Lily wasn't listening. "Transfiguration first," she said through a mouthful of toast. "James'll be happy," Sirius replied looking at his. "Great potions with the slytherins after lunch, that's bad enough, but the teachers the head off Slytherin, and he's supposed to favor them," he groaned. Just then, a grumpy looking Rhian, followed by a grinning James, his left cheek imprinted with a bright, red handprint, walked in and took their places at the Gyriffindor table. 'He look's so cute when he grin's like that,' thought Lily. "Did it," he said to Lily, snapping her out of her trance. "What?" said replied. "Only tried to blackmail me into his doing his homework, when I slapped him and refuse, he sent a letter to mum telling her that I had sneaked Tom here," said a very annoyed Rhian. "Lily couldn't help but laugh along with Sirius, Remus and Peter as they congratulated James. "S'not funny" she grumbled, but no one was listing. '
Ten minutes later, after following the Gyriffindor Ghost, nearly head-less Nick, they arrived with 5 minutes to spare outside the transfiguration classroom. "Thanks for showing us the way," Lily called after him as he waved before walking through one of the many castle walls. As the marauders chatted, eventually the rest of the class arrived in dribs and drabs, and they joined them, lined up outside the wall. Finally, the transfiguration teacher, Professor Minivia Mcgonagall, who is also head of Gyriffindor, arrived and led them into the classroom. After she'd called the register, she turned the wooden chair she was sitting on into a large, grand, royal red couch. After the class had gotten over the excitement of this demonstration, the professor assigned them their first transfiguration task. "Right, you copy down the notes written on the blackboard before, attempting to turn this match in to a needle". As she went round the class handing out the needles, Sirius couldn't resist the urge. "That's it", shouted out Sirius in disbelief. "Yes Mr. Black," replied Mcgonagall angrily. Lily quickly copied down the notes before getting ready for her first attempt to turn the match into a needle. From the notes, it sounded really hard, but James, had turned it into a needle on his first attempt along with Sirius, who were both trying to avoid being pricked by each other as they had a needle fight. After Mcgonagall had shouted at them for being silly, Lily, who was now on her sixth attempt, was approached by James. "Want any help", he asked. "Oh yes," she replied gratefully. After three more attempts, with James help, Lily could successfully turn the match into a needle. "What are these match thing's anyway", said James, who being from a wizarding family had no idea of seeing that it was a muggle thing. "Oh, well when you strike them". James being the person he was, immediately stuck the match across Lily's desk. Taken back, by the small flame now on the end of it, he dropped it back on to the desk. As smoke and fire surrounded them, a small flame caught Lily's robes. "Oh no", she shirked as she started to panic. Suddenly James pushed Lily out of the way of the fire, as Mcgonagall waved her wand and the flames disappeared. "Ahh", screamed Lily as James fell on top of her. Blushing furiously, as she got up, to see Mcgonagall glairing at them. "Miss Evans, Mr. Potter, what do you have to say for your self's," she shouted indicating at the black scorch marks on the up turned desk. "I…I.." stammered Lily. "It was all my fault miss," said James now standing. "I was mucking about with the match when it caught on fire," he finished with his head hanging. "Well, Mr. Potter, that's 10 points from Gyriffindor and a detention for both you and Miss Evans, you shouldn't have been missing around in the first place. Your parent's along with professor Dumbledore will be notified about this, class dismissed." With that, Rhian finally over the grumps and looking smug, the marauders along with the rest of the Gyriffindor first years made there way down to the dungeons, ready for the next lesson, potions. "What", said an irritated James, to Rhian annoyed at the smirk on her face. "Your gonna get a howler," she said pleasantly. "What's a howler", asked Lily. "A angry letter that scream's at you, don't worry you'll soon see tomorrow, cause like Rhi said, Jamsie's sure gonna get one after Mcgonagall letter, and hey Rhi, I wouldn't be at all surprised if you get one after James'." James suddenly brightened up, "Yeah, you Catnapped." Rhian glared at him, before whipping out her wand. "Harstaciprus" she said calmly. "Never heard of that one Rhi," said Remus cheerfully,"doesn't seem to be.." he trailed off gobsmacked starring at James hair, which was now bright pink, and as if he had been electrocuted, was standing on end. "Yep," said Rhian, "was all in that book of hair charms mum got me," she said as Sirius, Remus, Peter and Lily laughed and James begged her to turn it back. "Nice hair Potter," smirked Luscious Malfoy, one of the Slytherin first years Lily had met on the train as they walked down the cold, damp, stone steps that lead to the dungeons. "And it would sure look nice on you," hinted Sirius to Rhian. James looked at her pleadingly. Reluctantly, Rhian changed James hair back to normally, whilst turning Malfoy's pink, and stuck up. "Hey," scowled Snape. "You're not gonna let a mudblood loving Gyriffindor get away with that," he spat. "Well its suits you perfectly, stuck up just like you stuck up snobs!" said Rhian whilst the rest of the Gyriffindor's laughed. "Just then, a tall, skinny, greasy haired man, who was the spitting image of Snape walked out of the dungeon door. "Sir," said Malfoy in his sweetest voice, totally sucking up to this professor. "Potter turned my hair pink and made it all stuck up." Lily could have sworn that she'd seen the professor wink before turning on James. "Well, well, well, Mr. Potter, what have you to say about Mr. Malfoy's hair." James looked angry. Just as he was about to tell the teacher exactly what he thought of him as well as Malfoy's hair, he heard Rhian's icy voice. "Miss actually," she replied. "What," he snapped turning on her. "I charmed Mr. Malfoy's hair, and you asked me what I have to say about it, but you accidentally called me Mr. Potter, when as I am a lady, I think it should me Miss?" she finished, the professors eyes bulging. The Professor smirked. "Well 'miss' Potter, that's 10 points from Gyriffindor for your cheek, and I was under the impression that it was Mr. Potter that so nicely charmed my students hair, but it seems like he had a number of accomplices," his eyes traveling over the rest of the marauder. "Yes, I think I'll make that 20 points of Gyriffindor, including the 10 points for Miss Potters cheek, as well as a detention for each of you six," he said, his eyes traveling from Rhian to little Peter Petergreiw. "Report to me in my office at 5 pm sharp tomorrow, now, enough time wasted, inside".
As the Gyriffindor's and Slytherins took there places in the old dungeon, the Professor, who introduced his name as Professor Slither, tutted at the seating arrangements. "Now, now," he mocked sarcastically glaring at Lily and Rhian at one desk. "We can't have that. Mr. Malfoy, please swap seats with Mr. Potter, Mr. Goyle, with Mr. Lupin, and Miss. Potter, Miss. Parkinson ….." He carried on paring Gyriffindor's and Slytherins up in till the whole class was sorted. After taking the register he announced the potion they would be making, and testing today, a laughing potion. Lily took out her potions textbook and the pewter cauldron that she'd bought in Diagon alley. She set it on the stand and began to chop the shriveling skin, into small pieces, just like it said in the big thick book, in frount of her. "Hey Lil," said James from behind her. "Hi", she replied going red. "So", said Arabella Parkinson, pocking Lily in the ribs, "the mudblood fancies James Potter, how sweet," said Arabella mockingly. "How dare you call her that, her name's Lily", replied James angrily, "Oh, and Potter fancy's her to," said Serveus Snape, next to James. "Shut up," snapped James angrily. "What, you Potters don't usually mind half the population of Hogwarts fancying you," he said tauntingly. "Depends who's in question. You for example. Uhh, believe me, Rhian really doesn't want a greasy haired slimeball fancying her, and I'm quite content with my love life thanks," he replied as Snape went red. "Oh yeah," he replied nervously, trying to sneer. "Hey mudblood," whispered Arabella to Lily, "Stay away from James Potter, he's mine, you understand, not that he'd be interested in you," she added looking down at Lily in disgust. "What is a mudblood," Lily asked her fuming. "You don't even know what you are?" she laughed hoarsely which reminded Lily of her older sister. "Basically, if you're a mudblood, you're a disgrace to the wizarding world, being muggle born, and with no wizarding blood, Uhh" she finished holding up her hand to Lilys face. As the lesson rolled on, Gyriffindor lost another lot of points, 15 in total. 5 for James pelting Snape's already greasy hair with dungboms, 5 for Sirius tipping the entire cauldron full of laughing potion over Malfoy's head, and making him giggle pathetically for a whole ten minutes, whilst Slither prepared an antidote, and 5 for Rhian getting her revenge on Narcissa Nott, and using once again one of the useful little hair spells, turning Narcissa Notts long blonde hair in to rats tails. "Ahhh," she screamed as her once beautiful golden locks began to squirm. "What on earth," said Professor Slither, waving his wand so that Narcissa hair was returned to its normal state. "Miss Potter," he bellowed, as the entire class fell silent. "Yes," she replied tartly. "What on earth possessed you to charm Miss. Nott here's hair? You seam to have taken a likening to my students hair." Whatever Rhian was, she was not a grass (Hey, I had some mail not knowing what this means, it's a British term for someone who tells on people when they do something wrong). Rhian, not knowing what to do, stared back determinedly into those dark, cold eyes. "Nothing, I did nothing," sniffed Narcissa Nott pathetically. The professor smirked. "In that case Potter, that's another five points from Gyriffindor, and you can stay for an extra half hour in detention without your little friends", he said, directing his last comment at Lily, James, Remus and Sirius, who all glared back in return.
"Uhhh, he makes me soooooo mad," said Rhian to Lily, half an hour later and now eating lunch in the great hall. "Uhuh," nodded Lily in agreement, through a mouthful of shepherd's pie. "I mean, giving me detention for getting revenge on that bitch, who does he think he is," she scowled. "Head of Slytherin," suggested Lily with a smile. "Yep, just the right position for him, 'head of all scum bags!' I would be extremely happy if I never got to see him again," she finished. "Well, detention tomorrow night with him to look forward to", said Lily. "How could I forget," Rhian replied sarcastically. "Cheer up Rhi," said Lily, getting up ready to go. "Whatever," she replied imitating Narcissa Notts' snobbish attitude perfectly, as Lily laughed.
After spending the remainder of lunch, up in the Gyriffindor common room, along with her fellow marauders, discussing ways to curse Slither and blame it on Snape, Malfoy and the rest of the Slytherins, it was time for there next lesson, charms. "Just go grab another quill as I left my other one in transfiguration," said Lily before sprinting up the stairs and into her room. "Okay, meet you outside the portrait hole" called Sirius.
Two minutes later, the six marauders were walking across the forth flour corridor, on their way to charms. "So Jamsie," said Sirius in his taunting voice, clearly stating that he was looking to annoy and embarrasses someone (cough'James'cough). "Why'd you pelt Snape with dungboms, thought they'd make him smell better did you?" James along with Lily turned red." Ohh," said Sirius bouncing in front of them. "Jamsie's going red, andddddd knock me down with a feather if I'm mistaken but Lily has also decided she like's that complexion. Maybe, Jamsie was saving his love, Lily, from the ugly Mr. Serveus 'James' girl stealing' Snape," he said walking up to Rhian, and kneeling down in front of her. "Don't worry darling Rhian, for I am a gentle sir, jut like dear Mr. Potter here. I have been deeply inspired by his act of heroism, and have decided after long thoughts, that I shall also save my loved one." However embarrassed she was right then, Lily couldn't help but join in laughing with James, Remus and Peter at the look on Rhian's face. "Long thoughts," she sobbed, "and all this time I thought you really loved me Sirius" she finished; face in her hand's clearly showing that she was just as melodramatic as him. "Hate to break this err, little play up guys, but were gonna be late" said Remus. "Play! My dear Remus, this is no play," he said in awe as they walked into the charms classroom, that they'd been standing outside of for the last five minutes. "We'll continue this later," said Sirius wagging his figure at them as he took a seat towards the back of the class.
A few minutes later, a tall plump women walked into the room. "Good morning class," she called cheerfully in a singsong voice, "I'm Professor Appleton", she said as she sat at the large wooden desk at the front of the classroom and began to call the register. After the register was taken, she explained their work for today. "Now, the hovering charm indication is wingarrdium levosia. Repeat after me, Wingardium levosia. That's right Miss Evans, make the 'gar' nice and long. Come on Mr. Black, put more effort into it ……..".
Fifteen minutes later, a small scream was heard from the left-hand corner of the room. "I did it, I did it", squealed Lily jumping for joy. Well done Lil," came a number of voices. As Lily beamed, she could have sworn she heard Peter Petergreiw mutter that he 'couldn't believe that a mudblood mastered the charm before a pureblood wizard, like himself'. 'Naaa, Peter's very nice, he wouldn't say that, he's in Gyriffindor'. As Lily, once again blushed a deep scarlet, Professor Appleton started to ramble on about 'how perfect Lily charm was' and 'how that was the first time a new student mastered a spell in one lesson'. Still scarlet, Lily walked back to her desk, thinking proudly of her twenty points for Gyriffindor. "Hey Lil," called James from across the room. "Yeah," said Lily, shotting Sirius and Rhian who were making kissing noises, a look that could kill. "I know I wasn't much help in transfiguration, but could you …." He trailed of looking up at Lily pleadingly. "Sure", said Lily. As she and James spent the rest of the lesson trying to make James feather float, she got to know him a lot more. 'Oh no, I'm really falling for James Potter now,' thought Lily. 'Lily stop it! James' Rhian's brother, oh but he's so cute and funny', she argued in her mind. "Umm Lily", said James poking her. "Whaaa?" said Lily suddenly snapping out of her thoughts. "The lessons finished." Said James. "Oh right," said Lily grabbing her bag and walking out of the classroom followed by a very confused James.
"What lesson have we got now", asked Lily out of breath from running to catch up with the rest of the Gyriffindor's "Gees, your fast Lily", said James, suddenly appearing behind her. "Tut, Tut, tut Jamsie, chasing after girls all ready, steady on" said Rhian grinning. "Well Miss I'm-an-angel-in-disguise, you can talk, now what exactly did she say when she was running after a certain Serveus Snape, Sirius?" retorted James, smirking. "Now watch her face," hissed Sirius grinning in Lilys ear. "Or her hand". WHACK! "I WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF YOUR LOVE POTION!", screamed Rhian slapping James across the face for the second time that day. "We were only trying to get you in the romantic mood, after all it was Valentines Day," said Sirius, trying not to laugh and be reasonable. "In the romantic mood, more like in a mood" said Rhian, before storming off, and pulling Lily, Sophie and Lyndsey with her.
"Umm Rhi," asked Lily, jogging along with Lyndsey and Sophie, trying to keep up with her new pace, "Do you actual know where were going cause your erm, heading straight for a blackboard", she asked. "And", snapped Rhian, before pulling down a handle, making the board swing forward to reveal their history of magic classroom. "Cool", said Lily as they walked towards the back desks. As the rest of the Ravenclaw and Gyriffindor's first years, arrived in dribs and drabs, their professor, professor Binns finally arrived. Miss Stoodly, please stop talking," he told Lyndsey after taking the register. "He sounds like he's dead," Lily heard James mutter to Sirius, and she couldn't help agree, as she shook with silent laughter. As the lesson rolled on, Lily sunk into a deep slumber. 'Lily Potter' said a voice in her head, 'that sounds good. What? Since when did James propose to you? He hasn't, 'yet'! And he's not going too! He might, and its not like you wouldn't say yes. Might do! Yeah right. I do not fancy James Potter! Yes you do! Fine, I do, happy! Yep! "Oh shut-up", muttered Lily, accidentally out loud. "What did you say Miss Evans?" inquired Professor Binns, giving her a piercing look. "Umm, nothing", muttered Lily, aware that every pair of eyes in the room were on her. "Very well," said the professor, turning his attention back to the rest of the class. "Please summaries the information I have told you about the 1673 goblin rebellion, to be handed in next lesson and no less than two rolls of parchment. "Shoot," said Remus yawning as they walked out of the classroom. "Why did I fall asleep". Lily laughed politely. "Didn't happen to catch any of it Lil", asked Sirius. "Sorry," said Lily. "How about you Jamsie?", said Sirius, bouncing up the stairs, missing three steps each time. "Noop, didn't catch anything anyone said, well except for Lily telling Binns to 'shut up'." Everyone laughed, including Rhian, "I didn't mean to say it out loud," she protested as they reached the portrait Hole. "What's the password," asked Lyndsey. "Slytherin sucks", said Sophie. "Not anymore, the new passwords Slytherin 'really' sucks!" James laughed. "Yeah right Sirius, you wish". But to his and everyone else's amazement, the fat Lady's portrait swung forward.
"Hey, flying lesson start next week", said Lyndsey, pointing to a notice on the wall, "with Slytherins." Lily sighed. Brilliant, just what I really wanted, to make a fool of myself in front of all the slytherins and James. "Don't worry Lily," said Rhian reading the expression on her face like a book. "Its really not that bad.". As everybody else got deep into a long discussion about Quaffles, seekers and other things Lily had never heard off, she suddenly spoke up. "Hey Sirius, isn't Quidditch that game with four balls you told me about. Y' know, the one that sounds dangerous". James laughed. "The very same, but its not that dangerous really." He said. "You should know," said Remus. "Come on, lets go get something to eat," said Sirius getting up massaging his stomach. "Are you always hungry?", said Lily laughing. "Yep," said Sirius. "Just like my pal Peter here," he added hitting Peter's tubby tummy. "Hey," snorted Peter ignorantly as the others laughed and walked out of the portrait hole.
One by one, the gang trooped through the large, grand, huge oak doors of the great hall, only to come face to face with none other than Serveus Snape and Lucious Malfoy. "And look, if its not the famous mud-blood loving Gyriffindors", sneered Malfoy, sarcastically getting down on one knee as he made a grab for Sirius' robes, but Sirius was too quick for him. "There's enough filth on my robes without you getting your slimy hands on them", he spat. "And all we were going to do is give them a make-over", sneered Snape. "What?" asked Remus. "Well, with a spot of this potion, your robes would look a lot better", he said as he and Malfoy chucked the liquid in the bottle all over Sirius, James, Remus and peter. "What the…." Started James as Luscious and Snape legged it to the Slytherin common room. "Oh my ……" said Remus gawping at James. "What?" said James confussed. "Suddenly Rhian and Lily began to giggle like crazy. "Nice boxers James, and you Peter", said Lily as she gasped for breath. As the four boys looked down, they were astonished to see that there robes had disappeared, there fore, leaving them with only there boxers on, in James case, blue with flying broomstick patterned on them, and Peter with woven pink wooly ones. The girls never saw Sirius and Remus' as they quickly grabbed the girls cloaks and put the around there waists. "Vanishing potion", read James of the bottle Malfoy and Snape had chucked the contents of which over them. "This means war", growled Sirius as the four boys, edged back up the stairs towards the Gyriffindor tower getting funny looks, as they waddled up the stairs. As soon as they had gone, Rhian and Lily once again doubled up with laughter, this time not bothering to try and stifle it. "Did you see his face - Did you see his boxers - you've got a hand it too them, that was a good one -" They sat at the Gyriffindor table laughing, eating and discussing possible ways too help the boys get back at the slytherins when a mischievous grin appeared on Lilys face. "Whoa Lil, your freaking me out", said Rhian. "That grins just as ironic as Sirius'. Lilys grin only widened at this. "I, have just had the best idea ever," said Lily. "What is it?" asked Rhian, nearly bursting with excitement. As Lily bent over and whispered her plan to her Rhian squealed. "Well Miss Lily, we'll have too be up at four a.m to pull this off, so BED!" She snapped sarcastically.
After passing the now robed boys, as they walked through up the stairs, towards the portrait hole, they decided to have a few games of exploding snap before there early night. "Err," said Rhian angrily after loosing for the fifth time in a row. "Ahh, there James, I'm gonna borrow a bit of that easy sleep no dream stuff?" she said as she walked over too him. "What stuff", asked Lily as James disappeared for a few moments upstairs. "Well, you see, Jamsie - boy here has trouble getting to sleep and when he does finally drop off, he has night mares," explained Sirius. "Not nightmares, visions," said James appearing behind them. "Visions?", said Lily blankly as James handed her and Rhian a small bottle with a dark blue liquid inside it. "Yeah," said James collapsing onto one of the big, squishy chairs, "There's this women, I can't remember what she looks like when I wake up, but she's really pretty, and I can't help feeling she's the older version of someone I know. Anyway there's also this man, he's really tall and has got these little red-eyes, and he's trying to kill someone called Harry." There was a long silence as everyone took this in. "Harry?" said Remus finally. "Yeah, she keeps screaming at the man to spare Harry and take her instead, then there's this flash of green light, and that's where I wake up." Once again there was a deadly silence between the seven, even Sirius was being quite, and that's saying something. "Every time?" said Lily looking into James is deep brown eyes. "Every time," he replied, gazing into hers. "well Come on Lil, if were gonna pull of that prank tomorrow, were going to have to get to bed early"said Rhi getting up. "prank?", said Sirius suddenly snapping out of his little daydream. "What prank?" Lily and Rhian laughed. "You'll just have to see," said Lilt following Rhian up the stairs, leaving behind for very confused boys.
"Mmmm", said Lily, all tucked up in bed as she gulped down James potion . "Tastes like chocolate," she murmured to Rhian before dropping off.
