"Lily! Get up! Now!"
Lily groaned and rolled over.
"Lily! Breakfast has already started!"
Lily mumbled something.
"We're late for class!"
Lily jumped up from bed.
"What!" she screeched.
She noticed Sam rolling on the ground, laughing.
Lily glared at her. "That wasn't funny. I thought we were late. You know how much I want to make a good reputation for myself."
"At least your awake. I've been up for ages," Sam said, still giggling.
"Where's everyone else?" Lily asked, suddenly aware of the absence of the other girls.
"They already headed down to the Great Hall. It is 8 o'clock, you know they weren't going to wait for you forever."
Lily rolled her eyes and quickly changed into her clean robes. The two girls started down the stairs and entered the common room. The only occupants were four familiar looking boys.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
"Well, well. If it isn't Mr. Hotshot and his little gang of friends. Seriously Potter, how much do you pay them to pretend to like you?"
James looked up to see the redhead from the train standing in front of him, arms folded across her.
"Well, Evans, unlike you, these people want to be my friends." he replied, annoyed at the interruption.
"Then what do you call Sam?" Lily gestured towards the girl waiting behind her. "Chopped liver?"
Remus started laughing, but turned his laugh into a cough when James glared at him.
"What do you want?" James said, addressing Lily.
"I wanted to say hi to my friend." Lily replied, pointedly turning her back to him.
"Hello Remus. How are you? And, if I may inquire, how can you put up with this arrogant jerk?" Lily asked of him, nodding her head in James' direction.
Remus chuckled. "Fine, thanks for asking. As for the other question, I really don't know."
"Hey, I heard that!"
"I know." Remus grinned.
"Oh Lilykins dear, aren't you going to say hi to me!" Sirius whined in a high, feminine voice.
"Hello, Sirius." Lily said, laughing.
Sam grabbed her arm.
"Come on, I'm starving." She led Lily towards the portrait hole.
"Bye!" Lily called over her shoulder.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
"I can't believe I have to put up with him for seven years," Lily grumbled as they made their way down to breakfast. "Can you believe the nerve of that boy!"
Sam shrugged. "I thought he was sort of cute."
"Potter! Cute!" Lily shook her head. "Are you feeling alright Sam?"
"No, really. I think it was cute the way you two were fighting."
Lily gave a short laugh. "Okay, now I'm sure you they put a spell on you."
Sam gave her a long look. "I think you like him."
Lily stopped short and stared at her friend. "Don't ever say that again. The day I like James is the day the moon will be made of cheese."
"Huh?"
"Never mind. It's a muggle thing."
The two continued on their way, entering the hall a few minutes later.
Sam led her to where the first years were eating at the Griffindor table.
As they helped themselves to the eggs, porridge, and pumpkin juice, a third year student handed each of them a sheet of parchment.
"First year schedules," he explained before moving on.
Lily examined hers quickly. "We have potions with the Slytherins first, then Transfiguration."
"What classes do you guys think you'll like the best?" said Christine.
"My wand is supposed to be good for Charms," Lily said, looking uncertain. "But other than that I don't know."
"I think I'll like Herbology the best. I'm kind of nervous about using magic and that's one of the few classes that doesn't require it," Elly said.
"Post should be here any minute," Christine said, looking up.
Lily followed her gaze. To her surprise, seconds later hundreds of owls came swooping through the high windows of the Great Hall. Letters and parcels were dropped to the waiting students, though some, like Lily, watched in amazement.
"What's the matter Evans? Never seen an owl post before?"
Lily turned to see James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter sitting down across from her.
She rolled her eyes. "Your stupidity amazes me, Potter. You know I'm muggle-born, and yet you still ask if I've ever seen an owl post before."
Before James could retort, Sam interrupted.
"Hey, guys. What'cha been up to?"
Peter opened his mouth to reply, but a sharp jab from Sirius stopped him.
"Nothing," he squeaked out.
Sam looked at them suspiciously. "Right."
They all continued eating. Suddenly, Sirius dropped his fork and started laughing. The three other boys quickly looked at the doors of the hall and also burst out laughing.
The girls looked at each other, puzzled, before leaning out in the aisle to what was causing the laughter.
A hilarious sight met their eyes. A group of Slytherins had just entered the hall. All their robes were pink! The strange thing was, they didn't even seem to notice that their robes had changed color.
The girls were clutching chairs and the table to keep from falling from their seats; they were laughing so hard.
The Slytherins looked around, confused at why everyone was pointing and laughing at them.
Lily finally gained control over herself. "I wonder who did that?" she asked aloud.
"You're looking at 'em," Sirius said proudly
"You did that?" Elly asked him incredulously.
"Don't take all the credit, Black. We all did it," James said, leaning back in his chair and folding his arms across his chest.
Lily eagerly leaned forward. " I have the perfect prank to play on the Slytherins. I'll need your help, though."
James huffed. "What makes you think we'll help you Evans?"
"Who said I was talking to you, Potter?" Lily said, turning to Remus, Sirius, and Peter.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Lily and Sam huddled around their caldrons. It was freezing in the dungeon where potions class was held.
When Professor Carter, the potions teacher turned her back, Lily caught Sirius' eye and nodded. Sirius grinned and reached into his school-bag, producing several Filibuster's Wet-Start Fireworks. He quickly looked around to see if anyone was watching, then threw them into the nearest Slytherin's caldron.
The potion exploded. The Griffindor first years all ducked, having been told of the prank. The Slytherins, having no warning, were instantly covered in the half-finished potion. Severus Snape had gotten the full blast of it, his caldron being the one that the fire works had been thrown into.
"Who did this!" Professor Carter seethed. "Speak up or you will all be punished!"
"I know who did it," a drawling voice called out.
The whole class turned to see a boy with platinum blonde hair and a pale face stand up.
"It was the Griffindors," he sneered. "I saw them do it."
"Thirty points from Griffindor. Thank you for telling me Mr. Malfoy,"
Lily felt a surge of anger for the smirking boy. What a tattle-tale!
"Now," the Professor continued. "anyone who got touched by the potion go straight to the infirmary.
Lily stiffled a laugh when she heard Snape whimper in pain as he passed her on the way to the door.
"Be quiet, Mudblood," Snape threatened.
Sam jumped to her feet in defense for her friend.
Lily pushed her back down. She stood up and faced Snape.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
James watched in amazement as the Lily stood her ground against Snape.
"Why? What are you gonna do about it?" she retorted, her hands on her hips. "By the way, I don't think pink is quite your color. Why don't you try black?"
The Griffindors roared with laughter. Snape's face turned red to match the angry boils on his face.
"You'll regret you said that, Mudblood."
He turned on his heel and strode from the room, his pink robes billowing behind him.
James shook his head. That girl may be annoying, but she has to have guts to stand up to Snape.
The bell rang a few minutes later, signaling the end of class. The students poured from the room.
"You really shouldn't have said that, Lily," Remus said catching up with the red-head. James groaned and followed him.
"I don't care," she said. "He called me a Mudblood!"
"Don't worry," Sirius said, an evil look in his eyes. "We'll get even with him. And that Malfoy kid for telling on us."
Lily grinned. "Sounds good to me! Can I help?"
"Sure." Sirius said at the same time that James said "No."
James glared at his best friend. "No way! We'd have to tell her about the you-know-what."
"So?" Sirius said, his eyes pleading. "Come on James, she's really good at pranks!"
"But...but...," James stuttered. He threw up his hands. "Fine she can come."
"Yaaaaaay!" Sirius squealed in a fake voice.
Lily smiled happily and continued on her way.
