James and Lily
Chapter Five: The Girly Slytherins
Lily moaned and woke up as a pillow came flying to her hard. She glared daggers at Bella, who had produced the flying pillow. "Why'd you throw that?" snapped Lily angrily to Bella.
Bella smiled innocently and said in a fake Sibyll Trelawney voice. "Aaah. Mees Evans, I have been expecting you. The peelow was thrown because of a veery pahticular reason. Take a look at the clock, Mees Evans."
Lily quickly took a look at the clock and gave a short scream. It was 7:25 already! 25 whole minutes lost! She jumped out of bed and tossed on some pale old jeans and a very red T-shirt. And, of course, her black Hogwarts robe.
As she combed her tangled hair, she asked Bella, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier??? I only have 5 minutes, no, we have to go now!" she shrieked, and dragged them out.
As they talked, the mysterious trio came up in the subject. "Sirry told me to go to breakfast as fast as possible today. Wonder what he's up to?"
Lily nodded and said, "I couldn't sleep well because of plain curiosity. Last night, I couldn't sleep so I went to the common room to read by the fire. I arrived there to discover those three naughty boys laughing their heads off about something. I think I heard a Slytherin in there. Anyway, I asked them what was wrong, but they only left me with these mysterious words: 'You'll find out soon enough at breakfast tomorrow'. Now, isn't that fishy?"
Maria nodded. "Definitely fishy. I wonder what their up to now? Do you think they hexed the great hall or something?" They arrived in front of the Great Hall. The three girls took a deep breath and entered.
They didn't see anything wrong- Except that all the Slytherins were girls. Bella was now choking with laughter and Maria was giggling madly. Lily couldn't help laughing out loud. There the Slytherins were, all girls wearing pink and red and gold, Gryffindor colors.
Malfoy was wearing a muggle ball gown full of laces, pink, frills, and a nice hoop. He, or should I say she, had pretty golden curls flowing elegantly down his shoulders.
Snape was wearing a shocking pink noodle strap top tucked in nicely in a red and gold checkered mini skirt. He also had attractive shining black hair that was waist long.
James, Sirius, and Remus made a grand entrance to breakfast, yawning and chattering as if nothing happened. Snape and Malfoy stomped up to them and Malfoy was yelling at him, "POTTER, BLACK, LUPIN! I WILL GET YOU BACK FOR THIS! YOU RETURN US BACK TO NORMAL!!!" Snape was wearing a deep scowl and was glaring daggers at James.
"What? We didn't do anything, right?" said James with an innocent smile. Sirius and Remus nodded just as well with the same innocent smile. Malfoy was blushing deep red while all the others at breakfast were pointing and laughing and jeering at the Slytherins.
Professor McGongall came stomping up to them with Dumbledore. They all could see Dumbledore was hiding a smile. "You three- to headmasters office- NOW." Snapped McGongall, pointing to the hallway to Dumbledores office. Malfoy smiled a look of triumph to them.
The three were sitting on a fluffy red chair. They sat there squirming a little. But still, they couldn't hide the laughter in their eyes from seeing the Slytherins as girls.
McGongall frowned as she looked down at them. They all could see anger boiling over her face. "Never, I must repeat NEVER, have I experienced such troublemakers as you guys. A shame for Gryffindor! The spell you boys conjured is seriously advanced magic and is terribly hard. It could have gone wrong; what if they never returned to their, er, normal bodies? You guys will be the shame of whole Hogwarts. I, myself, had not known about this curse until this day when Professor Dumbledore told me about the possible solutions for the Slytherins, er, abnormality. 50 points from Gryffindor and a week of detention for all of you!"
Dumbledore was watching with laughter in his eyes. "Um, will you mind, Minerva? I would like to speak to these three alone." McGongall breathed deeply with anger in her eyes. "Yes, whatever you say, Albus. Just do not go too easy on them." she scowled and left the room.
"Now, boys, that was a very, er, interesting spell you have done. Tell me, where did you find out about the spell? Few people know of it, and very few books explain the spell. Even Professor McGongall didn't know about the spell until today. I must note, you guys are going to grow up as very smart wizards one day." Dumbledore chuckled lightly.
James was the one with the most courage. "Well, we did a couple of research at the library, and trust me, we couldn't have learned anything better. And anyway, I promised my dad that I'd make the Slytherins life miserable." He smirked.
Dumbledore replied with a friendly smile, "Well, don't make them too miserable, and even though it was quite amusing, I don't encourage it. Now, I think that classes may start soon. So, scamper off to your, er, Herbology lesson. Just promise me you won't land in the Hospital Wing again. Oh, don't forget your detention slips! Seven, okay?" He pointed to a folder filled with detention slip.
They all gleefully took seven detention slips and ran off, laughing their heads off. McGongall suddenly appeared in front of Dumbledore. "I must say they almost looked like they were happy to have detention. What's got into them?" That remained a mystery to them for quite a while.
***Professor Timberlake's dreaded Herbology lesson***
The trio was walking down the corridor. "Oh my lord, they looked like they came out of a fashion plate! I've never seen that Mary Higgins in Slytherin look so jealous. 'May I ask who that, that girl over there is?' Gosh, Higgins thought they were new people! Well, they did look a little attractive." Sirius said playfully as James kicked him in the shins.
"Come on, it's Herbology next with the Slytherins. Boy, this is going to be a super fun lesson!" said Remus, and ran to the Herbology.
They ended up there earlier then everyone. Then Lily Evans entered the classroom, staring at them icily. "Aw, what's the problem Lily?" asked Sirius in a baby voice.
"Everything! Just because you guys are popular does not mean that you are the king of Hogwarts. You guys lose up to 50 points a day, and today, when I went to see the house points today, we already had lost 50 points! At this rate, we won't be able to win the house cup! You guys are a bunch of dweebs who only care about popularity!" snapped Lily, her hands on her hips.
They all stared disbelievingly at Lily. No one had insulted them before. James gave Lily and unhappy face. "Aw, Lily, you don't have to be so harsh on us. Don't you like us?"
Lily's face softened a little, and she said in a gentle voice. "Well, I don't exactly love you, but I don't hate you either. Something in between. It's just that you guys loses much points a day, it's getting on my nerves."
James face lit up. "Really? Then you forgive us?" he asked eagerly. Sirius slapped him on the back. "James, of course she'll forgive us! She's a girl. And speaking of girls, look who just entered!" Sirius pointed to the door entrance.
There entered an angry looking Snape. Just the sight of them made every single of the Gryffindors collapse laughing hysterically.
"And what is so funny?" snarled Snape, who was smoothing down his black skirt. He was wearing a shocking pink noodle strap.
Next, Maria and Bella entered the room, hissing and whispering to each other. They looked up and saw the all-new girl Snape. They both immediately collapsed laughing like they were crazy. Snape scowled at them and continued reading.
Malfoy, Goyle, Nott, and Crabbe entered scowling. They couldn't change out of their frilly dresses. Malfoy was still in a ball gown, and a pretty diamond tiara was placed on his head. At this, the Gryffindors burst out laughing again.
Mundungus and Peter entered and stopped dead when they entered the room. They both began laughing like crazy, clutching their stomachs. The Slytherins scowled and frowned at the Gryffindors.
Alkaline and Pier entered, whispering to each other wearing frowns. The Gryffindors howled with laughter as they turned beet red.
Beth Kenney and Hilda Cunningham from Slytherin entered and began sniggering at the others. They all scowled at them again.
Brittany walked in and began giggling nonstop. She spotted Alkaline and turned scarlet. She muttered an apology and rushed to Alkaline. Brittany frowned at James, Sirius and Remus. They smiled innocently to her and turned away to hide a laugh.
Professor Timberlake walked in and cleared her throat. "Ahem, welcome to another Herbology lesson. I hope you guys will um, get along." Sirius snickered.
Sirius raised his hand. "Professor, but, I don't think you noticed the all- new Slytherins. And do you happen to know who caused this?" he asked sweetly. Professor Timberlake turned pale and took a look at the Slytherins. She goggled at them and suddenly burst into gales of laughter. "W-what happened to you guys? D-Did I miss s-something d-during breakfast?"
The Slytherins blushed crimson and glared at the trio, including Brittany. Brittany frowned at the jittering Gryffindors and looked away. She caught James eyes and smiled sweetly. James looked away disgustedly.
Malfoy, who had blushed far mare then the others, raised his hand. "Professor, I see nothing wrong. I think you should begin our lessons. That's your job, isn't it?" he said coldly.
Professor Timberlake shook her head and paled again. "Yes, I think I will start my lesson. You guys will be working on the Extensy with your partner." They all groaned. "But don't worry, I will pair you guys up again. First, though, I will teach you some stuff about Extensy and some safety tips. Get out your Quills and Parchment and be sure to copy down what I say."
Brittany looked shock, and so did Alkaline. But Professor Timberlake had already started rambling on about Extensy. All the students were quickly scribbling on the information.
After Professor Timberlake was done talking, she cleared her throat. "Ok, let's see. Potter, you go with um, Pettigrew. Black, you go with Lupin. Evans goes with Cuthbert and Figg goes with let's see, Lestrang. Fletchler will partner up with Thomas. Now ends the Gryffindors."
She eyed the Slytherins. "We-ell, Kenney and Cunningham, next Snape and Malfoy, then Alkaline and Pier. Um, Nott and Goyle while Crabbe with Parkinson. Dickens and Kins. Alright?" They all nodded and Professor said, "Scram to your partners!"
***James POV***
James eyed Peter suspiciously. He was the kid who got an 'Sl-ryffindor.' "So, what do you know about Extensy?" James asked Peter.
Peter shuffled his feet and said, "Well, I've known about them a little. You have to grow them in little pots with a billion wholes in them and you have to water it with milk instead of water. Weird, huh?"
Wow, this kid knew a lot of Herbology. "Cool. So what do you want to do? Want to make a poster? Or maybe a written essay? Or a presentation?"
Peter looked down at his feet and said shyly, "How about a poster? It's the most easiest and simplest. Plus, we can decorate a little. Maybe we could make it a little realistic." he said slyly.
James nodded. He could make the kid do it all by himself. "Fine. I'll go get the paper. You go collect the markers." Peter went off to ask Professor Timberlake for markers as James went to find paper. Pretty soon he found a good-sized paper and tossed it on the desks.
Peter came back with a pile of magical markers. James suddenly got a wonderful idea. "Yo Peter, we don't need markers." Peter gave him a quizzical look. "We do it like this!" James swiped his wand and a magical moving picture of a realistic looking Extensy was there.
"Wow. Awesome, James. But that doesn't count as work, does it?" Peter asked. "No matter, no matter." James answered with a grin.
"Let's see, we just need to write up the word part." James said, cocking his head. "Wait!" cried Peter, and conjured up a Classy's all Sugar Sticky Green Paint. He took a glob of it and delicately painted the stem of the Extensy.
"Hey! What did you do that for?" James asked, mystified. "You see the stem of the Extensy is very sticky. I needed to make it as realistic as possible." He grinned and then the paint can disappeared.
James grinned back. Boy, he sure liked this kid.
***Lily's POV***
Lily couldn't believe her luck. She had to be stuck to Brittany of all the girls. She glared at Brittany who was reapplying her lipstick.
Brittany closed her miniature mirror and tucked it away in her bag. "Well, Lily. We can't just sit here. Go get the paper and markers, Lily." She said in a bossy tone.
Lily gritted her teeth. "Brittany, were supposed to do this together. You can get the markers and I'll get the paper." Brittany glared at Lily. "Lily, I am just doing a favor for you. You always want to do the honors."
Lily glared back at Brittany and said in a cold voice, "Well, still, go get the markers. We'll finish faster then." Brittany sighed and stroked her beautiful golden wavy hair.
"Alright, if you insist." She sighed heavily again and left for the markers. Lily sighed as well and went to get the paper. She took a big thick paper fit for writing up a poster. She returned to her seat.
Brittany was waiting their, her legs crossed. "Well, Lily, what took you so long? Never mind. Just give me the paper. You're just lucky I'm here with you. I have an artistic talent, you know." She stuck her nose up in the air.
Lily was shaking now. She acted like she was, well, perfect. "Brittany, this is supposed to be something to work together. So, you can draw. I will write." She snapped, and grabbed a Quill.
Brittany glared at her and took a marker. She began sketching and Lily began writing. They didn't talk most of the time.
Soon, Brittany smiled and looked up. She prodded Lily on the shoulder. She gave Lily a triumph look and pointed to the picture she had drawn.
Lily groaned. It was horrible. It didn't look the least like an Extensy. "Brittany, what in the world is that?" Brittany gave her a death glare and said, "Well, it's an Extensy. Can't you see? I've never seen anything that looked more like an Extensy."
Lily pushed Brittany and stood where Brittany had stood. She raised her hand and swished her wand. A beautiful pencil sketch of an Extensy replaced the awful picture of the Extensy. Brittany gasped and rubbed her eyes. "What in the hell did you do that for? My picture was fine." She demanded. "I demand you return it to normal."
Lily looked coldly up to Brittany. "No, Brittany. That was just too awful. We'd fail the report just because of a stupid picture. Can't you see?" she snapped.
Brittany opened her mouth to argue but was interrupted by Professor Timberlake. "Ok, I think you guys are mostly finished with your report. Now, please turn them in. You will be able to work on it next time. Now, your homework is to write an essay about Mandrakes, as we will be learning about them next. 2 feet long, ok. Now, scat!"
Everyone scrambled out the door. Lily met with Maria and Bella, who were grinning widely. Brittany went running to Alkaline.
"So, how did it go? The report was fantastic! I am SO looking forward to the next Herbology lesson. Aren't you?" asked Bella excitedly. Lily shook her head sadly. "I was so miserable. Brittany the snob said she had an artistic talent, and her picture was terrible. She said there was nothing wrong with it. Oh, I think I don't like Herbology anymore."
Bella and Maria locked eyes as Maria said in a somber tone, "Oh, Lily. I'm so sorry about your pair up with Brittany. She is such a snob. We should call her Snobbny." They giggled and headed for their common rooms.
***James POV***
Peter and James had a swell time. But, when the lesson ended, Peter and James waved back at each other and went for their own friends.
"Who's that little guy? Wasn't he the suspicious one with the 'Sl- ryffindor'?" asked Sirius suspiciously. "Well, his name is Peter Pettigrew and he is totally a cool guy. He even booby-trapped Professor Timberlake with the poster. Can't wait to see her hand stuck on the stem of the Extensy we drew for the poster."
Remus gave a mischievous grin and said, "Well, let's get going!!!" They all raced up to the common room like rampaging buffalos.
