Lily grinned to herself. The picture in her mind of James's boxers was priceless. She mulled over her little revenge this morning for a couple minutes until the three important marauders came flying down the staircase (die Peter, die!) She smiled at them shyly, as she was feeling the beginnings of butterflies in her stomach. As if on cue, they all stopped and their jaws dropped.
"Its ok guys, it really is me…no need to stare or anything, right?" Lily forced a small, nervous chuckle. The guys closed their mouths, but continued to stare, amazed at Lily's beauty. The hair outlined her face like a ring of fire, or a halo, while her startling green eyes, which were outlined in black, contrasted her fair, peaches and cream complexion. Sirius broke the silence by tripping down the rest of the stairs, and pulling himself up, running to her, and grasping her hand. He got down on one knee.
"Lily, go out with me!" She started laughing.
"Sirius, do I really look that bad?"
"Owwww…that hurt!" he grinned and took her arm, while Remus grabbed the other arm, and they escorted her outside. At the doors to the great hall, Lily's courage failed her, and she started to struggle.
"Um, okay guys, jokes over. Let's just go back to the dorms shall we? Please?" Remus and Sirius looked at James and then nodded. "No seriously you guys, this isn't funny anymore…"
"Sorry, no can do. Especially after that little performance in our rooms a little earlier, need I remind you?" Lily glared at Sirius, as James opened the doors to the great hall. The door creaked open giving the whole room a good view of Lily in her red headed splendor.
The silence was deafening as they entered, until whispers rang out, hissing throughout the great hall like a smothered fire. Sirius and Remus led Lily over to the Gryffindor table and sat in either side of her, while James sat across from the trio. Lily held her head high, and ignored the whispers, and started eating her bacon and toast. Kirsten came over and sat next to James.
"Like, umm, Lily? Is that you? What happened?" Lily looked at her for a moment adopting her slow look, and grinned.
"Like it? I thought it was, like, time for a change. OW!" James had kicked her under the table. "What the hell was that for?" She glared at James. She had agreed to change her hair color, NOT her ditzy personality. James was being an ass, he had no control over her!
While Lily was busy glaring at James, Kirsten looked at her in shock. Lily never cussed! Especially at James Potter, whatever happened to her chronic crush on him? Why was she being so rude?
"Lily!" Lily took a break from glaring at James and looked innocently at Kirsten. Kirsten was slightly red in the face. "May I talk to you for a moment outside?" Lily shot her a confused look, and nodded before being dragged out of the great hall. They hurried outside, where Kirsten told Lily to wait a moment before she rushed off. Lily sat down confused. Why did she want to talk to her?
She looked up as five of the girls in her dorm approached her swiftly, each with a varying shade of anger on her face. They sat around Lily.
"Lily, what was that? Why did you say something like that to James Potter?" In a second Lily realized what the whole meeting was about. She had forgotten to keep her façade up when she had rebuked Potter.
"Look guys, I'm like, really sorry. I just don't think James is all that great sometimes. Maybe we should just like, forget him and just have the club concentrate on Sirius and Remus!" Kirsten looked shocked, and glanced at the other girls, all who were in the higherarchy of the Marauders fan club. Lily winced at her own choice of words. Why me? She thought to herself.
"Ok, this meeting of the Marauders fan club is officially, like, opened. Matter that's at hand, is that, like, Lily Evans doesn't like James Potter as much as thought." The girls around Kirsten gasped at this. " Also, she changed her looks without approval of, like, the council. All in favor of voting her out?" At this Lily began to get mad. What were they thinking?
"Like you guys can't throw me out! I totally started this club!" Kirsten chose to ignore her.
"All in favor, raise your hands" At this, five hands raised leaving Lily stunned. Yesterday these girls worshiped her 'cause she hung out with the guys and had blonde hair. Today they hated her. It all happened so quickly. "Meeting is like, adjourned. Lily Evans, you are no longer president of the Marauder Fan Club."
The girls walked off, leaving Lily more than a little surprised. What had just happened? She stood up slowly and made her way back to the great hall to finish her breakfast. And give James a piece of her mind. How dare he provoke her! Now it was all his fault she didn't have friends. At least now she didn't have to pretend to be stupid…
When she made her way inside, she noticed her seat was taken, as were all the seats around the marauders. She approached quietly as she noticed it was Kirsten who had taken her seat. Kirsten shot her a look before whispering something to the girl across from her. The girl, Tabetha, laughed and turned to look at Lily. They were talking about her. Lily changed her mind, she didn't need this crap. She turned to stride out, when two Hufflepuffs that she was friends with interrupted her at the door.
"We can't believe you Lily. You are such a traitor!"
"Yeah, totally, watch you back from now on." Lily looked at them stunned. She had actually liked them because they seemed to have brains, but apparently she was wrong. So much for them being loyal. It seemed that in a second Lily's world crumbled. She walked around the girls and dashed up the stairs to the Gryffindor tower. Why had she taken this dare? Now who was she? She had no friends, no life…she was nobody. It was like what happened with Petunia, all over again, It was all Lily's fault, all of it.
