Lily waited in bed. She listened until she heard all three of her roommates fall asleep.
Lily quickly climbed from the warm covers of her bed and slipped into her bathrobe and slippers. She quietly padded down the stairs to the common room. As Lily settled into a comfy seat near the fire, she glanced at her watch.
Eleven fifty-seven, she thought. The guys said they would be down here at twelve.
"Where are they?" Lily wondered aloud, looking towards the boy's dormitory.
"Right here."
Lily jumped. The four boys had appeared right in front of her, out of thin air.
"How did you guys do that?" she said in awe.
"Well, ya see-"
James cut Sirius off. "You guys know, it really is my secret. I don't have to share it with her."
"'Bit late for that now, though James," Remus said. " She's already seen us."
James sighed and reluctantly handed something to Sirius. As he held it up, Lily gasped. It was a beautiful, silvery cloak.
"What is that?" she asked, breathless.
"An Invisibility Cloak," James answered, proudly. "I got it from my father."
"You mean it makes you invisible?"
"That's right," Remus confirmed.
"It's best friend with pranksters," Peter said with a grin.
James scowled at Lily. "Come on let's go."
The five headed for the portrait hole.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
"Peter, move your elbow," Sirius said in a whisper.
"Sorry," the small boy said, moving his arm.
The boys and Lily were crammed underneath the cloak, heading down a dark passageway.
Finally they halted at a wide, blank wall.
James said the password. "Parseltongue."
The blank wall disappeared to show a large stone room filled with green high-backed chairs and a few plain tables.
"How did you guys know the password?" Lily asked as they stepped through the opening and took off the cloak.
"We followed some Slytherins after lunch under the Cloak. They led us here and said the password. It wasn't hard at all," Sirius answered.
The five silently crept up the stairs to the boy's dormitory and stopped when they reached the first year's door.
Remus slowly pushed it open. Quietly, they entered the room. It was almost identical to the Griffindor rooms, except that everything was in green.
The boys headed for the bathroom. Lily started peeking at the beds. Snape and Malfoy were the ones closest to the window.
Lily joined the group in the bathroom. She stifled her laughter while helping the boys empty the shampoo bottles and replace it with a foul smelling green liquid. They did a few charms that would make the potion look and smell just like the shampoo, but would turn their hair green.
As soon as they had finished, the five sneaked back to their enemy's beds. Lily stuck her hand in her robe pocket and withdrew a muggle camera. She drew back the curtains of Snape's bed and looked inside.
Lily doubled over with silent laughter. The boys looked puzzled. She waved towards the bed. Each of the boys took a chance to peek behind the curtains. Snape was holding a stuffed bear.
Lily regained control over herself and began snapping pictures. The boys, however, had to run from the room so they wouldn't wake the Slytherins with their hysterical laughter.
Lily then went to Malfoy's bed but did see anything worth taking pictures of. Just as she was turning to leave, Lily heard a voice behind her.
Lily whipped around, but it was only Malfoy talking in his sleep. She leaned closer to hear what he was saying.
"Yes, my Lord, ....death....pain....my Lord," he murmured.
Lily shuddered involuntarily. She slowly backed out of the room. There she found that only James had been able to calm down. The other three were still shaking from the effort of suppressing their laughter.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
James watched Lily from the corner of his eye. She was grinning, but there was a troubled expression in her eyes. He noticed she was tossing a small camera up and down in her hand.
"What's the camera for?" James questioned her.
Lily rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Pictures. Snape. Humiliation," she said, as if explaining it to a two-year old.
"Ooh. I get it," he replied, feeling stupid.
"You're brilliant Lily!" Sirius said. "I could kiss you!"
"Please don't," Lily said, giggling.
"We had better head back now," Remus said, looking at his watch. "It's getting late."
"Ya, we can figure out what to do with the pictures tomorrow," Peter agreed.
James threw the cloak over everyone and they started back down the stairs.
A few minutes later, the five friends (well not including Lily and James) entered the Griffindor common room and breathed sighs of relief.
They all started saying goodnight, but Lily stopped them.
"Can I ask you guys a question," she said.
"Sure."
James groaned impatiently.
Lily glared at him but continued on without comment. "I heard Malfoy talking in his sleep."
"What'd he say?" Sirius asked eagerly.
"He kept mentioning some lord, and ...other things,"
The boys exchanged a worried glance.
Remus took charge. "Lily, have you heard of," he lowered his voice, "Voldemort?"
She shook her head, puzzled.
"Voldemort is a Dark Wizard who started gathering followers about two years ago. He's killed lots of people, mostly muggles, but also some witches and wizards. It's obvious that most Slytherins and their families are all supporters of You-Know-Who."
"You-know-who?" Lily questioned.
"That's what everyone calls him, he's so frightening," Sirius answered.
"So Malfoy was talking about this Voldemort?"
"Don't say that so loud!" Peter whispered, looking around to see if anyone had heard. The room was empty. It was, of course, one o'clock in the morning.
"That's my guess," Remus said.
James yawned widely and obviously.
Lily smirked at him.
"Are we up past your bedtime, Potter? Sorry about keeping you up so late."
James was astonished. Where did this girl get all her snappy comments? Either she was really smart and made them up on the spur of the moment or she had no life and spent all her time coming up with them.
Lily bid goodnight to Peter, Sirius, and Remus and started up the stairs to the girl's dormitory.
"What about me?" James said, annoyed.
Lily turned. "You mean the Almighty James Potter wants me, a lowly girl, to say goodnight! What a laugh!"
She gave a small wave and disappeared around the corner.
"She's really got it in for you, James," Remus said while stretching his arms.
James shrugged and headed for his room.
