Chapter four: The Plan Forms
"Will you marry me, Lucius?" James's voice boomed throughout the hall, and immediately people started laughing hysterically. James, who still didn't notice a single thing, innocently continued, saying, "This was all a dare, I really don't like you, I'd rather kiss Professor Indigo than even like you."
This statement sent Lily and Kim and Becky into peals of laughter, which surprised Remus and Sirius.
"BECKY? I thought you..wait..i thought..huh?" Stuttered Remus, looking from James to the girls, and then burst out into laughter, and was followed by Sirius.
"Good trick eh?" Becky giggled, "Had you boys all fooled."
"How come James doesn't know his voice is so loud? Don't tell me.LILY?" Sirius rounded on the petite redhead, who was laughing so hard at the look on Professor Indigo, the Slytherin head's, face, which was contorted into a look of disgust.
:"JAMES! SHUTTUP!" Remus called, over the laughter, and James looked around bewildered.
"What's so funny?" He yelled, which resulted in the whole great hall positively shaking with the noise from his yell. Add in the laughter from all four tables, it was a miracle that the hall was still standing.
"James, come back here. Noticeriablo!" Lily performed the counter curse, and James realized what had happened.
"EVANS? YOU SONOROUSED ME DIDN'T YOU? AND YOU MADE SURE I DIDN'T KNOW? OUT OF ALL THOSE LOW DOWN, TRICKS, THIS BEATS THE LOT!" James roared, but the effect was quite useless, as everyone was too busy doubling up in their seats, and shaking with laughter. Lucius had this look on his face, which was a mixture of rage and to quote Sirius, "severe disappointment that James was just joking."
"Er, no I think the trick that BECKY WAS JUST PRETENDING THAT SHE WAS STILL CURSED, was the lowest trick." Corrected Remus, thumping James hard on the back, as he had choked on hearing Sirius's comment.
"EVANS?" He yelled stupidly again, just standing there and shouting was not one of the most intelligent things one could do. Laugh it off, he said to himself, but when he saw that even Peter was laughing at him, he couldn't do it. He stormed out of the hall and went back to the tower.
"I think you pushed James too far girls," Warned Peter, who had recovered from his laughing fit. Peter was clad in a t-shirt and shorts, pink shorts, may I add. (I really don't like Peter, you won't be seeing much of him.)
"Yeah, I think we did. Let's go apologize, Lily." Becky and Kim decided, making a move to go.
"I don't think so. James always plays so many tricks on people, he should know how it feels once in a while," Lily snarled, totally unrepentant.
"If you say so," Kim shrugged her shoulders, but left with Becky to go apologize to a steaming James.
MEANWHILE..
James was pacing up and down in the now empty common room. He had been ridiculed, by a GIRL. He was hopping mad, and his anger could not even be put into words. He threw a cushion across the common room in his rage, and his brown eyes were ablaze with fiery anger. HUMLIATED, he thought angrily, and he began to squeeze a chocolate frog which had been thrown onto the ground by some careless first year.
"JAMES! We're really sorry we played that prank on you," Called Becky, and Kim nodded her head vigorously. The two girls had burst into the common room and were now beside James, hopping up and down as if their feet were on fire.
James had forgotten that Kim and Becky were involved in the prank, and his revenge was only meant for Evans, as she had been the one who had hexed him, according to Sirius, who had also been laughing maniacally when he informed him of it.
"It's okay." James flashed his famous Potter grin at the girls, before asking, "Hasn't' Lily come to apologize too?"
"Er.no.." Kim mumbled, hoping James would not hear it. However, James was born with the gift of keen hearing, and caught the words. The words pierced him, and he felt throbbing pain in his heart. He thought, no, he had thought Lily would have had the DECENCY, to at least apologize. The hurt gave way to anger though, and James found himself growing vengeful. On the outside however, he pretended he was cool with it.
"Okay, didn't' expect her too. I'm going upstairs, see ya later." James bade the girls goodbye, and he was a good actor, so both girls didn't' sense anything wrong. They just thought that James was too embarrassed to go back into the Hall, which was quite correct, but there was another reason why James did not want to go back into the Hall.
An idea had struck James, and although he knew that the idea might hurt Lily quite a lot, but he did not care anymore. He had been humiliated, and all he saw was REVENGE, the worse the better. This was perhaps the dark side of James, and it was probably why the sorting hat was contemplating whether he should be put in Slytherin or not. This was his close guarded secret, and not even the Marauders knew.
James grabbed a piece of parchment and a black quill. On his parchment, he scribbled, careful to disguise his handwriting.
Dear Lily,
Haha, good prank on James! That was hilarious. I was wondering whether to send you this letter as I doubt you would actually care about me. You see Lily, I have always had this sort of, er liking, for you? I know you probably don't care, but if you do, please reply.
An Admirer
James grabbed the parchment, and jogged up to the owlery, where he chose a school owl, tied the parchment to its leg and sent it away, whispering, "send it to Lily Evans" The owl hooted and soared into the sky.
MEANWHILE.
"Lily, you really should go apologize. James might do something rash, he has that sort of wild streak in it." Worried Remus, as he poured milk onto his cornflakes.
"I'm not apologizing, he deserved it." Lily protested stubbornly, and refused to address the subject further. Kim and Becky had returned and they sat down beside Lily, with Kim in the middle.
"Apologized?" Lily asked, "Pass the milk Remus," she added, and took the milk, pouring it onto her breakfast of oats and bran.
"How can you eat that? And yes, we did. He took it quite well, in fact." Becky replied, and screwed her face up in disgust at the concoction in Lily's bowl.
"Wow, amazing," Lily commented, impressed, wondering whether she should in fact, apologize.
"Great prank Lily!" Amos Diggory, a fifth year hufflepuff, strode up to her and said. It was assumed Lily had thought of the prank, as she was the one James had screamed at.
"Haha, thanks." Lily answered politely, she wasn't too fond of Amos, who was to her, only a package of great abs and a biceps but with no brain, whatsoever. Oh not to mention the absence of personality.
A few more people congratulated Lily on her work, and slowly, the thought of apologizing slowly drifted away.
"Hey look, an owl!" Sirius observed, as a school owl soared to land in front of Lily. Lily looked curiously at the owl, and untied the piece of parchment, while Kim fawned over the owl. Kim had this thing for animals, an was cooing over the owl, which basked in the limelight.
"What does it say?" Asked Becky, leaning over to read the parchment.
"Oooooooh! A secret admirer Lils! Quick check which owl was used," Becky gasped, and grabbed the owl very viciously, earning a small scream from Kim.
"Don't hurt it!"
"Whatever! Read the parchment!" Squealed Becky, wrenching the parchment from Lily's hands and showing it to Kim, after taking a look at the owl's right ear, where the colours of the house would be shown.
"RAVENCLAW!" Becky grinned, "a smart cookie at that Lily."
Lily shook her head, "Probably some joker, maybe even James!" However, secretly, she took delight in the romantic note.
"James won't be so underhand," Decided Sirius, and Remus nodded his head agreeing. They both were craning their necks to see the note, and Remus smiled, saying, "If he wanted to get back at you, he would turn your hair green or something. This guy seems nervous, haha, Lils you like that don't you?"
Lily blushed, as she took a look at the Ravenclaw table, and saw a cute Ravenclaw staring her way. "It must be him," Lily thought, and blushed again.
"LILY'S GOT AN ADMIRER!" Sang Becky, and grinned at her friend. She could tell that Lily was excited by the news, no matter how nonchalant she acted.
"It's no big deal people," Lily rolled her eyes, while she reasoned with her friends, although her heart was soaring.
"I'm going to go wash up," Kim announced, and Lily decided she would follow her. Becky wanted to eat a bit more, so she would follow the Marauders up. They were all quite close, except for James and Lily, who both disliked each other, for some strange reason. Perhaps it was because Lily could equal James in studies, something James wasn't used to.
"Catch you guys later," Called Sirius, as he resumed eating.
