A/n:  * sighs * I am so bored! I have nothing to do. I'm dead serious. And I've practically read every single story on the Harry Potter fanfiction section! Now I'm going to go make some cartoon dolls of random people and myself…

Update: I LOVE imlosnoches! This person was my 80th reviewer! Thank you, imlosnoches!

Lily quickly pulled on her white knee socks and black shoes before running to meet the rest of her friends who'd already made their way down to the Great Hall. She wasn't about to miss what prank James and his group had come up with all because she slept a little late!

"ARABELLA! WAIT UP!" she hollered after she scrambled out of the portrait hole. She saw Arabella, Sabrina and Misty walking quite a ways ahead of her. She ran to catch up with them, yelling all the way.

"What happened to you?" Sabrina asked, casting a judgmental look over Lily. Her red hair was disheveled and sticking up on one side, her wand was between her teeth, her skirt was rumpled and looked as though she'd slept in it and her robe slung over her shoulder.

Lily grinned devilishly and flicked a piece of hair into her face so she looked even sloppier and continued to walk towards the Great Hall.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Misty called. Lily ignored her and broke into a little jog while pulling her robes on and buttoning them over her scruffy uniform.

"PSSSSSST! Lily!" Sirius hissed, dragging her into an empty classroom.

"Morning, Sirius!" she chirped happily.

"Yeah, yeah. Good morning yourself, Miss Evans. Where's James?" Sirius asked impatiently.

"How should I know? I'm not his bloody nursemaid!" Lily snapped.

 "Look he's the one with all the prank goodies and he isn't in the Great Hall yet!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Aw, rats! And I wanted to see the prank!" Lily said, stomping her foot for emphasis.

"Tell me about it. Perhaps we should remind him of his tardiness incident with Mrs. Norris sometime." Sirius said, rolling his eyes.

"That stupid cat. I'd love to give her a good swift kick in the-" Lily started but James jumped on Sirius' back and tackled him to the ground.

"JAMES! YOU CAME!" Lily shouted with glee.

"Yeah, like I'd miss pulling a trick on Lucius and Snape!" James said sarcastically, ruffling Lily's already-messy hair.

"What'd you do? Sleep in a closet or something?" he continued.

"Like you care. I just slept a bit later than usual," Lily said airily.

"Ok, ok. No bickering please," Sirius said and turned to James, "Where're the goods?"

James reached into his pocket and produced his wand.

Sirius stared at him expectantly. "…And where's the rest of it?"

"That's it! I told you I spent half the night searching through advanced spell books!" James said truthfully.

Sirius' face fell. "Well if you're sure-"

"It'll be good Sirius. Revenge has never tasted sweeter." James said finitely.

Lily grinned.

Lily drummed her fingers nervously on the tabletops and swung her feet back and forth.

Arabella sighed loudly and set down her fork with an elaborated movement. "Is that what you always do to pass the time? Or am I hallucinating and you're just extremely jumpy today?"

"Do you have to talk? I need to pay attention to James," Lily said distractedly.

"You need to?" Arabella asked smirking.

Lily sighed exasperatedly. "YES! OK? YES! I need to pay attention to James!"

"We didn't have any homework for Care of Magical Creatures except to finish that animal chart, right?"

"Right," Lily said, again distracted as James got up looking rather nervous. He turned around to look at her and she flashed him a 100-watt confidence-inducing smile and a thumbs up in his direction.

"What? What am I missing something here?" Arabella asked looking around wildly.

"SHHHH!" Lily hissed at her. The whole room, to add to Lily, Sirius's, Remus's and James' paranoia, seemed to grow increasingly quiet. James strode over to the Slytherin table where Lucius Malfoy and his partner in crime Severus Snape were sitting, discussing potions.

"What do you want, Potter?" Severus sneered, looking at James in disgust.

"Nothing! Just came to see how my fine Slytherin friends are doing on this mah-velous Friday morning," James said smiling, twirling his wand in his fingers.

That comment brought the previous din in the Great Hall to an astounding silence. Lily hit her forehead with the palm of her hand and groaned.

"Just make your flippin'  move, Potter!" she hissed to herself.

"If you've got a point to make, I suggest you make it so I needn't waste my time with you any longer!" Severus jeered, his upper lip curling into what would be known later as his infamous sneer.

"Can't a mate just ask him how his buddies are doing?" James asked acting outraged. He turned his back to the Slytherins to look at all of the people in the Great Hall. He made a big deal out of Severus's statement by explaining how wrong it was to degrade someone else. Lily didn't know if she wanted to walk up to him and slap him or curse the Slytherins herself.

Suddenly, Sirius threw a Gobstone marble piece he'd probably fetched off his dresser earlier that morning in case James chickened out. It sailed through the air and clanked off in the direction of the Ravenclaws, the exact opposite direction of the Slytherin's table.

"What the-" Lucius said turning around.

"Transfernio Greecius!" James yelled and instantly Lucius's pale platinum-blond hair was turned a sickening puke-green color and was growing rapidly to his knees, identical to Severus'.

The entire Great Hall immediately burst out laughing, Lily and Sirius the heartiest of them all.

All of the sudden the new stern-faced professor, Professor McGonagall, swept upon James like a hawk on its prey.

"James Orion Potter!" She snapped. James gulped and slowly wheeled around. The laughter died down again and the Hall became so silent a pin could be dropped and it'd be heard.

"Yes Professor?" James asked trying to stay calm even if he couldn't keep the shake out of his voice.

"I do not know where you got that spell Mister Potter, but I can assure you it will not be used again on another student! Do I make myself clear?" She asked, not bothering to control the rage in her voice.

"Yes Professor," James said obediently. Relief washed over him briefly as he realized he was just being told off and not punished.

"I'll see what Professor Dumbledore wants you to do as a punishment," she continued briskly. She grabbed him by the ear rather harshly and dragged him out of the Great Hall, his yelp filling the air the whole way. Lily thought her eyes would roll out of their sockets in shock.

"What was that?" Arabella exclaimed, closing her dropped jaw.

Lily shook her head as the Great Hall slowly broke out into conversation again. "That, my friend, was the start of something that promises to be a legacy."

Arabella whacked Lily with her book. "Silly! It's only a harmless prank!"

"I have a feeling we'll have more entertainment from them in the near future," Lily said grinning.
