1 The Prank

Lily seat with her legs tucked under her on an armchair reading a book. While I seat with my three best friends in the world. They were talking about are next prank and I wasn't listening. I found my self staring at Lily, my favorite pass time, we would go back and forth insulting each other, then the next minute we were friends again. She changed over the summer, she know had curves in all the right places. I finally looked at her as girl; it took me to are 7th year. Her flaming hair was tied in a lose ponytail, with strains in her face. What was I thinking I couldn't like Lily? Think about something else James. Don't fool your self, your head over heels, another girls got you. "Bloody hell" I yelled aloud.

"James, what's bugging you?" Sirius asked punching me.

"Oh nothing, just thinking. I'm going to bug Lil's. Be right back. K guys?" I got to my feet before they could answer me.

"K" They all answer as I walked away.

"Yo, Lil's what you reading?" I took the book from her and started to read aloud "He embraced her in a passionate kiss and ……. What are you reading?" I said with disgust.

"Give it" she jumped up as I held it over her head. She was in a tang top and shorts. Ow; hot she's on fire. Before I realized what she was doing, she had me pined to the floor.

"Got you," she said with satisfaction grabbing the book from my hands.

"You can have me," I said with out thinking.

"Never" she got off me and walked up to her dorm. Leaving me to watch her walk away.

"Wake up, Prongs" Remus said helping me up from the floor. "You got it for Lily, I know it."

"Remus don't tell Sirius he'll have a field day. Please."

"I wont but it's really obverse he'll figure it out."

"Don't tell him" I pleaded.

" I wont my lips are sealed." He portended to lock a lock and throw the key away.

"Thanks moony. So what's his new prank I was distracted."

"Well he wants to pull a big one on the Slytherin's, were making a potion to turn their hair pink, skin red and teeth green. It should be done tomorrow morning. Will sneak into the kitchen and put it in their drinks and slip into the great hall unnoticed." We walked in to the dorm to the smell of rotten eggs. I almost fainted.

"Prongs, I think I did something wrong" Sirius said motioning me over to him. I checked the potion realizing the mistake and I fixed it. "Thanks, man you're a life saver" he said patting me on the back. Later on that night whenever one was sleeping I snuck in to the common room and set by the fire thinking about the last few years. My moms death in the first year, finding out about Remus, becoming Animagus, all my girl friends, Lily, the pranks and so on.

"So how was your summer?" Lily asked sitting next to me.

"Ok." I said shifting in my seat.

"Just Ok, that doesn't sound good" she said worried.

"No, it was great" I smiled and I saw her expression lighten. "How was your summer?"

"Fun" is all she said before she broke out in laughter.

"What?"

"Nothing, just something that happened over the summer with Sarah."

"What?" I smiled.

"Oh, well she…" And it went on like this all night talking about are summer. It was so much fun to talk to each other. I laughed so hard I though a broke my ribs. I wake up early with Lily's head on chest. I pushed the hair out of her face but she didn't wake up. So I picked her up and brought her to her dorm laying her down, I pulled the covers over her.

"James no, stop" she yelled.

"Lily, what?" I said shacking her but she still didn't wake up, she was dreaming.

"Lily" came Sarah's sleepy voice. I ran from the dorm to my room before she saw me. Peter opened my curtains, "Time to go James."

"Ain't be there in a sec." I changed into my robes and met them at the door.

"Got the potion Remus?" Sirius said taking control like always.

"Got it" Remus answered. We all came in close as Sirius told us are jobs, Peter was looking out, Sirius was putting the potions in the drinks with Remus, and I was keeping the house elves busy with a bag of clothes. We all put a hand in and headed to the kitchens. When we got there Peter stayed out side as Remus; Sirius and me went in.

"All elves come I have a gift for all, it's a big surprise from the fellow Gryffindors, It's a grand surprise, that you all will love, it's great." I went on like that for about 3 more minutes before I started to hand stuff out, they were all in a state of shock, like I gave them the hope diamond or something. Minutes later Sirius and Remus came from the main kitchen. We ran as fast as we could to the great hall. We got there at the end of the head master Graystones speech. Taking are seat to see are work in action. We realized something went wrong when not only the Slytherin's hair was changing colors the head masters was too. Also different people from all the houses started to scream then Sirius, Remus and Peter's hair turn pink, and there skin started to change color, I fell to the floor laughing.

"James" Sirius yelled.

"What my all mighty Pinkness" I said braking into another wave of laughter.

"Let's go see Madam Hoppy," he said turning to leave with Remus and Peter behind him.

Class went by so slow with out my buds. But in my last class of the day Potions with the Professor Frin the coolest of all my teachers and also the nicest. I got to be paired with Lily.

"James add the dragon claw SLOWLY," she said handing it to me.

"Lil's I know I'm tied with you for potions and ever other class for best student."

"Just making sure, oh and thanks for last night" she turned away and I thought I could see her blush.

"So you had fun," I said pocking her in the stomach.

"James" she said turning to me with a smirk "Add the dragon claw."

"Yes, mam" I add the dragon claw, with the biggest smile. Could Lily Evans Like me, James Potter, oh how I hoped so, next time we were alone, I'm going to ask her out, I told my self turning to her for my next order.
