His Life, Her Life
Chapter 3
"Good," James said, "We're ready, all I have to do is distract Lily."
"They're up to something," Lily looked up at the person standing in the door of her compartment.
"Hi Severus," she said with an attempt of a smile; so much for finishing her book. "Who's up to something?"
He just looked at her with pity, "Who do you think?" he replied with heavy sarcasm. "Honestly Lily, who else."
It was at this moment that the Marauders burst into Lily's compartment, only to stop suddenly at the sight of Snape.
"Out," was all Sirius said. The mischievous glint in his eyes had been replaced with a harder look.
"He has as much right to be here as you do," Lily said, standing up for her friend, she didn't understand why there was such hatred between them.
"Slimy git," Peter said, "He's going to curse you as soon as we leave."
Throughout all this Snape just sat in stony silence. "What about the damage you're planning to inflict with your latest prank." He slyly said.
The Marauders looked at each other guiltily, "I don't know what you're talking about," James said, trying to take control of the situation.
"Yeah," Snape said skeptically, "Then what was Peter doing, in the baggage compartment of the train," noticing that Lily was watching him intently, he continued, "And why have the rest of you barricaded the compartment you were in, so much that you didn't even buy any food when the lady with the trolley came around."
"We weren't hungry?" Remus stated weakly, everyone knew it was a lie.
"I'll be watching you, all of you, I know you're up to something" Severus said with a glance at each of them in turn, "Especially you Potter, you think you're so good now that you're a prefect, but you can lose your pin you know. Just one step out of line, and I'll report you as fast as I can." Finally he turned to Lily, "You'd also better not do anything to warn them. You have responsibilities above house loyalties now." He turned and walked to the door, "See you all at the banquet," he said with an ironic smile and left.
Lily turned on the boys, "What are you planning now?"
Them shifted nervously from foot to foot, and threw anxious glances at each other.
Finally Sirius stepped forward, with a charming smile he said, "Like we told the slimy git, Lily, we aren't planning anything. James here, ever since he became a prefect he's decided to reform, and won't even let us carry out pranks."
Lily didn't believe it for a minute. It would be harder for them to stop breathing than to stop pranking the school. "What ever you do, if you're doing anything, just don't get caught," she slowly, "And you'd better realize that there's more at stake than just you getting detentions."
The marauders left, and she sat down and reopened her book.
After reading the same line over 5 times, she realized that this just wasn't working. I hope they aren't planning anything to drastic she thought. Giving a little sigh, she thought again about the anger on Sirius's face when he saw Severus, and how Severus seemed bent on some kind of revenge, obviously there was something she was missing, but what?
She'll have to watch James and them tonight very closely, they were up to something and if she didn't catch it and Snape did, then she would have a long lecture from him about neglecting her responsibilities. He never lost a moment to, take her to task and give her his wonderful advice.
Speaking of wonderful, James looked really nice in his Hogwarts uniform. His hair was just as messy as always. He'd filled out a bit this summer she thought. Put on some muscle and his face had looked a little more mature than it used to.
Slowly Lily began to drift off into dreamland, thoughts of James were foremost.
While Lily was thinking of James, James was thinking of Lily.
She was so pretty today, her long red hair fell down the back of her Hogwarts uniform, and her green eyes had held a special little spark in them. He only wished that it had been for him. Her long legs hung over the side of the bench, slightly tanned from the summer sun. And the faint dusting of freckles that must have been placed on her nose by an angel only added to her charming personality.
"I say we make Snape the whole center and get back at that git for everything he said," it was Sirius and he wanted to revise the plans.
"Are you sure it'll work?" Peter asked anxiously.
"Not a problem, its just a slight change to the basic potion and . ok, all done," Remus said as he was adding moth dust to a small vial of the potion they brewed earlier.
"What do you think Prongs?" Peter was still not sure.
James was drawn out of his thoughts by the sound of his name, "What?"
"Daydreaming Prongs? About who? Or can I guess?" it was Remus in a teasing tone.
"Prongs likes someone? Who?" asked a very excited Peter.
But seeing James blush, Remus didn't answer.
"Ok," said an amused Sirius, "We've modified the original potion. We've now included a very special surprise for our very special friend Snape." And he bent over to whisper it in James's ear.
"Sounds good," James said, "It shouldn't take much to modify the original plan, to include this."
"That was the plan," Sirius said with an enormous smirk. "Here's what we'll do now."
The train came to a stop and Lily came out of her daydreaming. Maybe I should check my stuff before they take it into the castle, if Severus saw Peter in the baggage compartment, maybe he was doing something other than just being helpful.
Lily made her way to the back of the train, as she walked past the Marauder's compartment it opened up and they all came out.
"Hey, where's Lily going," Sirius asked.
"Looks like she's heading down to the baggage compartment," Remus groaned, "She must have believed Snape."
"It's too early, she's going to ruin it," Peter wailed.
"Prongs do something, stop her, or distract her, we'll have to move a bit ahead of schedule to make sure everything still works." Sirius said taking control.
"Ok, I have an idea," James said, maybe a little too eagerly, Remus noticed, and chased after the red haired Prefect.
The rest of them got off the train, "Ok, you know what you're doing right?" Sirius queried.
"Yep," Peter said, "After all we've only been over it how many times now." He said a little sarcastically.
"I'm off," Remus said, "I'll see you two at the banquet."
