Chapter 11- Lily's Revenge (as promised! ;)
The End of Year Fest went as normal, the seventh years sat joyously enjoying their second to last feast in their beloved castle. The Marauders came back and Lily looked at them confused.
"What happened? There's no was she gave you detention on the last week of school. Remus shook his head no. "That's good, so what was it about then? Did she yell at you?"
"No, it was more like the traditionally recent 'You need to protect Lily and James speech'. How come you never told us what happened?" Sirius asked. Lily suddenly got very pale. "Oh! Sorry Lily, I didn't mean."
"No, no, it's okay! Don't worry, I was just thinking about Petunia!" everyone except James looked at her, a little confused. "My sister!" she replied to their looks.
"Oh, I didn't know you had a sister. Why did that make you pale?" Peter asked quietly.
"Um, well, she wasn't my real sister, I was adopted," she said her head down.
"ADOPTED!" Remus cried. "You didn't tell us that either. Lily, what secrets are you keeping from us?" Lily shrugged, unsure of how to answer. There was something ebbing at her very soul, something that she hadn't told anyone at the table or for that matter anyone at all. The only ones who knew were Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Voldemort himself.
"I didn't know." she trailed off. "Petunia knew, she sent me a howler and I had to open it in the hallway, oh it was dreadful!" Lily almost broke down in tears right there. The other students were mingling and didn't notice. James took her in his arms and kissed her on the head. She started to cry but managed to compose herself enough when Dumbledore began his traditional speech.
"Another year gone by, ah, it is true. I will miss you all. I only hope that the school will be open another year, now that the barriers have been broken." at this many murmurs filled the Great Hall. This was NOT the speech that they were used to. Why was Dumbledore so solemn? How could he be so pessimistic? If he was unsure of the future, what was there from keeping the wizarding world from crumbling? He continued, "What I mean to say is this.. You all are the future and what the future is like, is up to you! Never give in to temptations reserve. The good are protected. I know that this isn't the traditional speech that you are used to, but these times are no longer traditional. The world has broken in two, and I only hope that you will choose the right path to take. As for now; Today is a gift, that is why we call it the present!" there were a few feeble laughs, but not as there normally would have been. "I would have given anything to not have told you what I must, but it had to be done. I believe that you are all mature enough, though some more then others..." at this he looked plainly at James the others, the twinkle back in his eyes. The smiled back at him when he continued his speech, "I call on you to defend what you know as free and right, please. But today is a day for celebration, and I regret having to inform you of what you must do, but that is it. I wish for you to now enjoy your innocence, begin the feast!" there were few talking when Dumbledore stood up once more, "Oh, one more word, whoever switched the tea in the teachers lounge with Popup Potion, HAHA! I salute you!" As he said this, he hiccupped a bubble. (a/n: POPUP POTION= a Popup Potion is a potion that makes BUBBLES pop out of you ears and make you speak bubbles for hours.) This seemed to break the ice, everyone broke out laughing, really having no clue as to who it was. People seeming to think that it was either James, Remus, or Sirius came up to congratulate them, but they assured them it was not of their doing. They shrugged at each other and then looked towards the end of the Gryffindor table where a small second year with flaming red hair was laughing his head off.
"So, you have a successor James!" cried Lily between laughs. They filled their faces and stuffed their stomachs and soon it was time to head back up to bed.
***
"James!" Lily suppressed giggles. To her left was her good friend Mina Kirrana, standing with an empty pillowcase. "Come one!" Lily whispered. They stood outside the boy's bathroom, Lily and Mina about to complete their plan of revenge. They pushed open the door, making sure that all the boys were in the shower. They were and their clothes covered the benches in the middle of the bathroom.
"I can't believe you talked me into this!" Mina told her friend. Lily motioned for her to be quiet. They tried to hold back the giggles of her plans. Suddenly she heard a voice, making her jump. It was only Peter.
"Come on! The ceremony is starting in fifteen minutes!" they heard Peter call. Lily and Mina were already finished getting ready. There hair was done up gorgeously and they were wearing their best school robes. Lily had on a tiny amount of make-up on, her eyes a gorgeous peach that complemented her deep emerald eyes. She was beautiful. Mina was wearing a little too much make-up, but then again, she always did. The grabbed the boys' clothes and left the bathroom, the clothes in the pillowcase and ran back to the common room, giggling the password. They ran in and sat down on one of the empty poof chairs. They waited to hear the yell of one of the boys. They indeed heard a yell come from the direction of the boys' bathroom. The two girls were on the floor rolling in laughter.
***
Meanwhile in the bathroom.
"Come on! The ceremony is starting in fifteen minutes!" Peter yelled through the sound of showers. It was the unspoken guy code that you didn't talk when others were in the shower (a/n: I made this up, I don't really knows if it is true. who knows what goes on in guys restrooms!). He jumped out of the shower, with a towel wrapped around him. "Guys, did you take my clothes, again?"
Remus stuck his head out of the shower, "Do you never stop talking? And no, we didn't!" he said, frustrated.
Sirius followed Peter and stepped out of the shower, "Uh, guys, none of our clothes are here!" James and Remus were not far out of the shower.
"LILY!" James yelled a smirk of amusement on his face.
"Uh, Remus, how are we going to get out of this bathroom with out being seen?" Sirius said. Remus began to laugh.
"We aren't, but I bet Lily and Mina did this and are in the common room right now, laughing their heads off!" Remus replied. With towels wrapped around them, they left the bathroom, heads held high. They passed a group of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff girls, who were giggling loudly.
"OH, DON'T GIRLS DO ANYTHING BUT GIGGLE?" Sirius yelled at them, obviously embarrassed. This only made them giggle harder. He clenched his fist and groaned. The scurried off, in a fit of giggles. James on the other hand nodded his head hello at anyone who he passed. Remus winked at Professor McGonagall as she passed them, shaking her head in amusement. Peter just stood back, walking as quickly as he could and still stay behind the others. They reached the portrait of the Fat Lady and said the password.
"Periwinkle Pixies!" Sirius said quickly, trying to get in the common room, but the Fat Lady only sat there. "Well, aren't you going to let us in?" She shook her head no. "Well, why not?" Sirius yelled. Both James and Remus found it most amusing that Sirius be so embarrassed. "The password has changed!" she called in her deep voice.
Sirius was turning red in the face, "What do you mean the password has changed?"
"I mean exactly what I say!" she said, but there was something funny about her voice as if she was holding back a smile.
James spoke up, "Wait, LILY! OPEN THE PORTRAIT HOLE RIGHT NOW!" In a few moments the portrait hole swung open and there stood a radiant Lily.
"Well, well, well, I don't know if I should give you back these!" she held up the pillowcase of clothes.
James was smiling, "Lily I will get you back for this!"
"Oh, no you won't, James Potter! This is for seven years of torment! The ink-spitting quills, the Smokey Gumballs, the Teeth Blackening Caramels, and you know James, it is because of you that I don't wear make- up, I am always afraid that you will jinx it in some kind of way!" And she turned on her heal and the Portrait Hole closed.
"No, no, no! Please, Ms. Fat Lady, let us in!" Sirius cried when the Portrait Hole slammed shut in his face. When she shook her head no Sirius turned on his head to face James. "This is all your fault!"
"Oh whatever, Sirius, you are as bad as he is! And you know this is quite good, quite funny!" Remus laughed.
"Oh, quite good, quite funny, my ass!" Sirius mimicked. Peter laughed as did James, it was really humorous when you looked at it. Four guys, standing out in the middle of a castle hallway in towels, dripping wet. How much funnier could you get? Just then a sixth year, Michael Longbottom (a/n: this is supposed to Neville's father and I couldn't remember if JK gave a name! let me know in the review!) The Marauders didn't even realize that he was there until they heard his voice.
"Tsk-tsk, gentlemen!" he said.
Sirius looked up from his feet, which he had been studying intimately after another group of girls had walked by, "Oh, thank you! You are going to let us in aren't you?"
"I don't know." Michael said with a smirk. Sirius groaned and began to bang his head on the wall.
"Stop, stop, stop, Sirius!" Peter told him. Sirius didn't listen and continued to bang his head on the wall, making a low thumping sound. "Oh, please, Michael? The ceremony is going to start in five minutes!"
James spoke up, his negotiation side taking over, "There may be some gags that we can bribe someone with, lets go!"
"GO!? You are truly kidding." but James silenced Sirius's whiny remark with a wave of his hand that Michael couldn't see.
"Now while we excuse my demented friend here," James said pointing at Sirius. "After all, he was hitting his head against the wall a few seconds ago! Maybe you would be interested in some pranks and or candy supply from Hogsmeade?"
Michael considered this for a moment, "That would be great, but all the Hogsmeade trips are over! How would you get it?"
"I don't know just yet, but I sign it in my blood, that I will get it for you!" James promised. Michael nodded and said the password and they ran in the common room. In a hurriedly fashion and went to get ready for the graduation, all the while Lily and Mina sat laughing deviously at their revenge!
Good, I hope it made everyone laugh, can't you see it??? All four of them?? Well don't forget to leave a review! ~Lilolu
