I disclaim. I don't own it. L NE WAYZ thanks to all who have reviewed! I love you! MWAH! The last couples of chapters have been for info, so you know everyone, and didn't ask how Lily knew everything up until fifth year and all. They were pretty goofy too, but the rest probably won't be SO much. Enjoy!

It Just Is: By Courtney

Chapter Five: The Scare

Recap: Then a hand grabbed her from behind.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lily felt a scream build up in her lungs, fighting to get out of her throat. She felt herself being pushed roughly against the wall, and tasted blood as she bit down on her tongue to keep from yelling for help. She knew it was best to analyze her attacker; it could just be a prank.

"Turn around and face me you filthy Mudblood!" Or not.

Think, think. What do I do! I'm new, I don't know any magic! Well, yeah actually, I do, but that's not the point. Okay. Calm down. You'll be fine. Breathe in, breathe out. Relax and turn around.'

Lily slowly spun around to face her assailant, and gasped when she saw Jacque, one of her father's bodyguard's sons, across from her. He was a huge teenage boy, with a heavy French accent.

"What are you- How did you- What is- Huh?" Her voice sounded startled and panicky.

"I'll bet you didn't think that your father was smart enough to send someone after you, did you? Just thought that you'd be perfectly fine, right? Wrong. You are going to regret the day you were born, you little whore! Just like Petunia, aren't you?" He spat out savagely.

What's he talking about Petunia for? Oh, she slept with him, huh? Uh, God.

"Little bitch! Answer me!" Jacque

'I need to keep him talking. The others will realize I'm not there soon enough.'

"Well, no. Petunia and are as opposite as you get. See, I have never gotten my hair died canary yellow, while Petunia has never ridden on a motorcycle with an ex boyfriend. She resembles a horse, and I for one, hope that I don't. I get F's in school, she gets B's. She"

"ENOUGH!" Jacque screamed so loudly it blew like a wind in Lily's face.

"Hello, who're you?" Someone said from behind Jacque.

"I'm- AHH!" He yelled in pain.

Lily looked around quickly and saw James with his wand trained on Jacque.

"I'm blind!' He screamed.

"Shut up, you pain in the ass!" Sirius growled from behind James, sounding remarkably like a dog.

"I happen to agree with him." Remus said quietly from the other side of the hall.

"Jacque. How wonderful to see you again." Max said dryly.

"Maxine?"

WHAM!

"Do not ever call me that! You- are- the- biggest- mother- f*cking- jerk- that" Max said, punching every part of Jacque she could reach while she talked.

"AHHHH!" Max screamed as Jacque picked her up and slammed her into the wall beside Lily.

"Hey!" Sirius said in a scandalized tone. "I don't think so!" He quickly muttered a few words and Jacque flew to the end of the hall, banging his head on the wall.

James walked over carefully and checked him out, Sirius and Remus standing guard in front of the girls.

"Unconscious. Remus, why don't you levitate him to Professor Dumbledore's office and Sirius and I can take the girls back." He said in a commanding tone.

"Sure." Remus said, shrugging his shoulders and waving his wand.

Lily, Max, Sirius, and James headed toward the Gryffindor Common Room (that will now be referred to as the GCR).

"Does anyone else think it's interesting that Lily has the hair of a siren in her wand?" Max asked quietly.

"Yeah, a little." James admitted as Sirius nodded.

"Why?" Lily questioned, never having heard of sirens except in Muggle books.

"Because, sirens are really rare. No one ever gets wands with siren's hair in them, they never give up a hair." She explained with a curious look.

"Whatever." Lily said with a confused look on her face.

Over the course of the next month, Lily got used to her busy schedule that included classes, studying, and extra tutoring sessions from the Marauders and Max. After a few minutes of persuading, she had convinced Max to come and stay in her dorm instead of with the ditzy girls in her old one. So, they were all very happy. James and Lily were steadily getting closer, and so on and so forth. In the general form, J/L will finally admit their undying love for each other and defeat the bad guy. If that were so in this fic, it would make for a rather short and boring story. But it's not. In my opinion, it's about to get interesting, baby!

All right, I'm posting this now and then starting on my next chapter. It should be up tomorrow. This was unbelievably short, but the next one will be better, I promise. In case I forgot to mention, I'm making everything present day!!! It doesn't fit in the book, but then neither does Lily being Puerto Rican. Please Review! J Ciao!
