DISCLAIMER: ok, if I did own Harry Potter
(don't we all wish we did) I wouldn't be here writing fan fiction. I would be
in my Hollywood mansion, swimming in my Olympic sized pool… eating seafood…
*starts to cry*
But
really, the goddess of Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling) owns everything. I own Kiki
& Jake… and that's it.

Lily
nearly fainted at the sight in front of her. Because near the window, was an
immense, colourful bunch of flowers, the likes of which Lily had never seen
before in her life. It was a rainbow of different shades, and the colours
blocked out every sense until all she could think about was the burst of
colours in front of her.
Not
to mention that the bunch of flowers was nearly as big as her.
"Wow,"
she murmured. She stepped forward, pulled out a flower and put it in her hair.
She looked around for a card, but found nothing.
Lily
brought them into the bedroom, and set them by her bed.
Kiki
raised her eyebrows and whistled. "Who likes you that bad Lils? That's
one good bunch of flowers!"
"I
don't know," she said quietly, still looking for a card. She was about to give
up her search when she noticed a plain white card nestled in the middle of a
white lily. She grinned, and opened it.
Lily, you will always be in my thoughts.
The
red haired girl frowned. Was that it? No name? She flipped it over, hoping to
find something else, but her search proved to be of no avail.
"Well,
who's it from?" A loud voice broke into her thoughts.
Kiki
was sitting impatiently on the bed.
"If
I knew, I would tell you, don't you think?"
"I
bet it's from one of the Marauders! Or
maybe George Hollywell! He's had his eye on you for a while! Or maybe it was
Sam Morath, he's pretty cute. Or perhaps…"
It
went on like this for quite a while; Kiki dreaming up every guy possible, while
Lily tried to ignore her.

"Pink,"
said Sirius Black firmly to his two best friends. "Definitely pink."
"I'm
partial to green, myself," added Remus Lupin, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
"How
about orange?" James put in.
The
three were deciding the best possible colour for Snape's hair.
"No!"
Sirius bolted out of his seat, and stood up.
"What?
Orange isn't that bad, you know…"
"Not
that you dimwit. I'm thinking…"
"Sirius
thinking?" said James.
"He
must be sick," added Remus with a grin.
"Shut
up! I'm thinking, Shirley Temple curls… neon pink."
James'
eyes bugged out. "We could get him to sing, 'On the Good Ship Lollipop!'" he
said, gasping with laughter.
"Or
I'm a Little Teapot!"
"I
have a better idea," whispered Remus, his eyes dancing…
***
"So,
um Lily… can I carry your books for you?" Lily smiled at Francis. He was a shy
boy, but rather nice. Lily had always been friends with him.
"I
bet he sent you them," whispered Kiki in her ear as she walked passed. Lily
just rolled her eyes.
They
walked together to the Ravenclaw common room, where Lily thanked Francis, and
walked up to her bedroom. Collapsing onto her bed, she decided there was
nothing she wanted to do more than take a bath in the Prefects bathroom. She
had been made a prefect, much to her surprise, as had James, Remus and Sirius.
She suspected that they either bribed or blackmailed Dumbledore into letting
them be Prefects, as there was no way otherwise they would get to be, she
thought with a wry grin.
She
walked down to the bathrooms, said the password 'moon mist', and began
to turn on the taps that poured out the purple foam.
When
the purple pool was filled, she hopped in, relaxing in the hot water. She lay
there for quite a while, relaxing in her swimmers. (A/N – she's not going
totally starkers in a public bathroom, despite what some of your dirty minds
think! :) Lol.)
"Hey,
someone's in the bath already!" came an annoyed voice from the door, where
stood James, Sirius and Remus.
She
opened her eyes, and gasped.
"Oh,
hi Lily. Lily?"
She
blushed, and sank deeper under the foam, thanking her stars that she had
decided to wear her swimmers that day.
"You
are wearing something on under there, right?" came an uncomfortable voice.
She
rolled her eyes. "Yes, I'm wearing swimmers."
Then
she heard three quiet sighs of relief.
"Well,
we'll come back later," said Remus.
Sirius
just stood there.
"We'll
come back later, Sirius."
Sirius
made no move to go.
James
sighed, motioned to Remus, and they dragged him out of there. "Come on, you
over-crazed pervert…"
She
heard them go, their voices growing softer by each footstep. Giggling to
herself, she climbed out and wrapped herself in a royal-blue fluffy towel.
***
"So,
we have the song he's going to sing, when do we do it?"
It
was nearly midnight in the Gryffindor common room. They had had their baths,
coming back about half an hour after they left. Remus, James and Sirius had
spent the last few hours plotting Snape's revenge.
"How
about at the Halloween dinner?" suggested James.
"Brilliant,"
said Sirius, his eyes gleaming. "Should we put a memory charm on him so he
doesn't remember?"
"Yeah!"
"Ok!
Our plan is foolproof, it is hilarious, and it's ready to be put into action…"
***
It
was the night before the Halloween dinner. Lily was doing her Potions homework
in the Marauders' Headquarters.
"Let's
see," she muttered. "If I put together boomslang, aeronaught liquor and mandrake
juice, what colour will the potion be?"
"How
about black?" came a voice from behind Lily.
She
turned around, and her expression changed. "What are you doing in here?"
she spat out.
***
So…
who sent Lily the flowers? Will the Marauders' plan be successful? And WHO
scared the hell out of Lily in her HQ? (I'll give you a clue; it's NOT James!) All
in chapter 4…
