obviously own nothing Harry Potter-ish. Damn.
The next day went by fast and before she knew it, Lily found herself standing in the main foyer staring at smashed pottery and piles of dirt everywhere. Leaning against the wall were three brooms and multiple buckets of water. Lily looked around to see if her fellow detainees were anywhere in sight, but they weren't. Always late for class, why shouldn't they be late for detention? she thought sarcastically as she reached for a room and began sweeping the ceramic shards into a pile by the door.
"Thanks for waiting," Lily looked up. Sirius Black was standing in the doorway looking annoyed.
"Oh come off it," James said as he pushed past Sirius and surveyed the hall.
"Yeah, it gave us an excuse to be late for detention," Remus said as he grabbed another broom.
"Sorry," Lily said, looking quite baffled, "What made you late?"
James waved a hand nonchalantly. "Oh we were waiting for you in the common room, thinking we could walk down together but then someone told us you had already left." He sniffed and pretended to look hurt.
"Sirius picked up right where James left off. "Yeah, we couldn't believe you just abandoned us like that," more fake sniffles and then he burst into sobs.
Lily laughed. "I'm sorry, I just dropped my books off and left, I didn't want to be late and get in more trouble." She looked at Sirius' 'I'm-so-hurt-how-could-you-do-this-to-me' face and repeated, "I'm sorry!"
Sirius' face instantly returned to normal and he grabbed a mop. "Its alright, just make sure it doesn't happen again." Lily grinned.
For the next ten minutes the five worked in silence. Lily was scrubbing at a spot on the floor when she glanced up to see Sirius holding a very wet looking sponge above James' head. Her mouth dropped open in horror, but then she smiled. He caught her eye and put a finger to his lips. She nodded. In one quick squeeze the dirty water was all over James, who gave a yelp. Lily burst out into giggles. James grinned mischeviously at her and picked up his bucket of water. He raised his eyebrows and her eyes widened. "You wouldn't da-" A wave of sudsy water flew at her and she shrieked. Lily picked up her bucket and flung it at him. Laughing and screaming, the five were fighting a raging water war when a crash interrupted. All five turned at once. And there was Peeves, cackling like mad, a smashed pot below him on the just cleaned floor. As he flew away everyone groaned.
As she stared in disgust at the broken pot, a drop of water fell off the tip of her nose and onto the floor. The corners of her mouth slowly began to turn up as one by one each of them collapsed into hysterical laughter.
Lily was one of them from then on.
The end.
I hope you liked it! :) Please review! Thanks!
