Chapter 13: sweet revenge



"… maybe we could just well – be friends in stead of like boyfriend and girlfriend," James said.

Lily's smile vanished. She stared at him – looking very close to tears.

"W- Why?" she stammered.

Suddenly Rachael appeared and silkily reached around James' neck. "Because he's getting with me," she said and kissed him very passionately while Lily stood there (This was the best moment in James' life) – watching horrified with her hand over her mouth.

Now this wasn't how James wanted it to be. He felt horrible and started to push Rachael away, but Lily was already running down the hall.

"Wait here," he said, and he ran down the corridor after Lily. He kept asking himself, "How could I do this to Lily?"

Apparently, she had the same question for him when he finally caught up with her.

"How could you do this to me?" she cried. "After all I've done for you…" She was getting hysterical.

"Lily –" he began but she cut him off.

"You Jerk!" she said with more of an angry tone now instead of sadness. "You were just using me, weren't you? You just couldn't be without a girlfriend, could you? I suppose the only reason you got with me was because Rachael was already taken! Huh?! Is that it?!"

James didn't know what to think. He didn't know what to say. Reality sunk upon him and he felt so awful.

"Oh I see," Lily was saying. "I'm just a girl. Just another one of them. Don't care about me – Lily Evans doesn't matter. Lily's not popular enough." And she began to cry again.

"Lily – I'm sorry, I mean I didn't want it to make you upset," James said.

"Oh I'm sure that if I would have come to you after you saved up ALL of your money to buy me something to break up with you – You would just be so happy, wouldn't you?!" She choked out and the tears were flowing faster than ever. "Goodbye James – I don't much feel like talking to you now!" she said shrilly.

"Lily-"

"Go away!" she cried and she turned away from him, sobbing.

James slowly but reluctantly walked away, leaving Lily crying in the shadows.

"What took so long?" said Rachael briskly when James joined her later back near the entrance hall.

"Nothing," James lied with a wave of his hand.

"Good," Rachael said.



Lily had been crying for a while in that same spot. She wiped off her eyes. Finally, she supposed she had better make her way back to the tower to get her stuff for Defense Against the Dark Arts.

When she walked up she crashed into Abi who was running up the corridor. "Lily!" she said. "I was looking all over for you! Where were you at Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

Lily blinked. "You've already had Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"Umm yes," answered Abi. "How come you didn't show up?"

Lily was about to say why, but the tears came over her again, and the knot in her throat tightened. She found it hard to speak, as she hurriedly tried to dry off her eyes.

"Oh… Lily," Abi murmured in a much softer tone than before. "What happened?"

"It was James," Lily choked. "He – He broke up with me."

"He WHAT?! Oh I knew he was an idiot the first time I saw him! How could he do this to you! Ohh that S.O.B.!"

"Abi!" Lily cried. "Gosh don't call him that!"

"Who is he with now?"

"Rachael."

Abi looked EXTREMELY furious. "Come on, Lily! We have GOT to get him back! Him and Rachael!" She started pulling Lily down the hall.

When they got in the common room, it was very crowded. They decided to think in their dorms. Lily sat on her bed while Abi paced up and down the room. "Ok," she said in a very buiseness-like tone. We have got to humiliate them. Make them wish they were never born!!"

"What are we going to do?" Lily asked.

"Hmmmm…" Abi answered. Then all of a sudden she gave a yell of excitement. "Oh my god! I have the perfect idea!"

"What is it?" asked Lily excitedly. (A/N: I was originally going to just leave you here – but I am going to be nice today)

"Well I read about this potion in our potions – that if you drink it then your voice will be magnified!"

"So?" said Lily curiously.

"So?! Their voices will be heard all over the school EXCEPT the room that their in! So they will never know their conversations are being heard!"

Lily looked thrilled. But then she said, "Well what if one of their friends tells them that their voices are being heard?"

"That won't matter. They'll probably think it's a joke. Too far-fetched to be real."

Lily thought about this idea. "Well how long does it take to make this potion?"

"I don't know," Abi answered. "Let me check."

Abi retrieved a large potions book beside her bed and ran her finger down the list of potions. She finally stopped. " 'The Voice – Magnifying Potion," she read, "is a very simple potion which takes only about a half an hour to brew.' See?! We could make it real quick and give it to them tomorrow – or maybe even today! Plus – even if they believed the people who were saying their voices were being magnified – the potion lasts two whole days – and there's no cure for it! I mean they can't just stop talking – or else they will get in trouble!"

"Yeah – well how are we going to give it to them without *us* getting in trouble?" Lily said incredulously.

"Well you heard James last time! He told us exactly how to get into the kitchens and get one of those house elves to put it in a goblet. All we need is an invisibility cloak!"

"That's easy," said Lily, becoming more and more excited. "We can just steal James'! While he's gone or something. This will be so easy!"

"Ok… So what are the ingredients," Abi muttered. "Let's see." She read off a list of ingredients. Both Lily and Abi agreed that they would be easy to get out of the cabinet where common ingredients were stored.

"Ok – so here's the plan," said Lily. Today at potions I'll get the ingredients out of the cabinet. We'll start the potion tonight while everybody else is at Hogsmeade. Also while their gone we'll steal the invisibility cloak. We'll take that opportunity to take some of the potion down to the kitchens for the house elves to put it in their goblet at dinner time. But we've GOT TO MAKE SURE that we put the invisibility cloak back so he doesn't suspect us."

"Okay," said Lily with a nod. "Look – it's time for Transfiguration – let's go."

And they left their beds and the common room with their plan in mind.

A/N: Sorry – I would have written more but I have to go now. But keep reviewing! I'll have chapter 14 up ASAP.
