DISCLAIMER: At the moment, I am eating homemade pizza. If I really owned
Harry Potter + Co. I'd probably be eating shrimp cocktail at an expensive
restaurant, although I don't know how much I'd like it.
When Lily awoke Christmas morning, the foot of her bed was overflowing with presents. She opened them all. There was mostly good stuff. Then she saw a black velvet box under everything. She opened the card. It said:
~Merry Christmas. Sorry. James. ~
She felt slightly happy. She DID like James when she thought about it. When she opened it up, there was a locket inside. "Ooh!" she cried. She opened it up and a blue liquid squirted into her eye. "Ow!" It stung a lot. Inside the locket there was a note.
~GOTCHA! Ha-ha! ~
Lily fumed.
She got back by sneaking into James's dorm, and saying, "Accio, shoes!" His shoes flew over to her. She then said, "Allegro!" and snuck away.
The next morning when James tried to put on his shoes, no matter what he tried, his shoes kept running away from him. "Grr! C'mon, guys, help me!" Remus chuckled.
"Yeah, right!" Remus said. "This is too funny!" they were all rolling on the floor laughing. All except for James.
"Fine," he said. "I've got OTHER shoes." But all his other shoes did the same thing.
***
James and Lily's pranks continued through the New Year. At least one of them had a detention every week. The best one played was at the St. Patrick's Day Feast. The Great Hall was covered in shamrocks of all the Houses' colors: scarlet, yellow, blue, and green. Lily bewitched the ones near James to yell things out at random points. They said things like, "Loser! Ugly! Rancid! Stupid! Idiot!" and like things.
James retaliated by turning her pumpkin juice into cough medicine. (The Muggle kind that tastes really horrible). This however, backfired, when Lily spat it out into James's face.
They kept this going until Mid-May. That's when they got into real trouble.
