It was the day after the bathroom incident and James still hadn't come up
with an idea of how to loosen Lily up.
"Ruin her," Sirius had suggested, but that seemed much too, well. cruel! "Drive her to an nervous breakdown?" that was truly too drastic, he wanted the loose not totally out of the restraints of her everyday life. It had to be gradual not noticeable, a class skipped here wouldn't be noticed too badly but things happening an particular points wouldn't be too bad.
He and the marauders weren't that bad but they had a fun time unlike Lily, they partied, they did magic when they weren't supposed to, they drunk, they dated and sometimes it was suggested they did the former far too much, but hey, who was counting? They hadn't played with someone's mind before, but in their opinion it had to be done, and after all they were happy when they were no good.
Sirius had been way too harsh,
"She's only a little girl mate," James had reminded her with a sigh, "We don't have to be this mean,"
"A girl who has power to do what she wants, head girl counts a long way in this school," Sirius reminded him. "You're getting soft,"
"Black, I am not soft," James stated bluntly, there was a few moments of silence before Sirius replied sensing maybe he was going a bit far,
"You fancy her mate?" Sirius half asked and gasped. "You could have anyone in this school, yet you want her don't you?"
"Prove it,"
"That argument earlier, she's got you under he spell, you didn't say a word," Sirius answered in a triumphant voice yet with a frown on his face, James faltered could his friend have been right?! Of course not! He thought to himself, Lily was Lily and that was that.
"Chalk and cheese," James simply replied.
"Opposites attract," Sirius taunted, the school bell rung in the background signalling end of lessons and therefore that tea was being served, and they headed toward the great hall in silence while both of them were silently stewing over the other ones words.

After tea there was a stony silence in the dormitory, James polishing his broom and Sirius and Remus both studying on their beds. Sirius kept shooting dirt looks at James and James felt a bit bad, maybe the argument had been his fault, maybe he was being soft because Lily was a girl. That's when he spoke up,
"How about a party lads?"
"It's a Monday night potter," Remus sighed, "Do you never get tired mate? besides professor will be in soon to tell us lights out and she'll kick off if some of us aren't here, never mind a party going on!"
"How about my room? Lily won't mind. We're in charge now,"
"You're telling us that after this morning?" Sirius sniggered,
"Lily will just have to loosen up," He said looking directly at Sirius, as he nodded his head, "Once she has a drink down her, She'll be okay," The boys began to get ready for the party as Sirius headed towards James,
"You mean we're going to get her drunk? Pathetic isn't it?"
"Ah my dear Sirius, it's a small step but a big one in her eyes, this is only phase one," He answered with a smirk on his face.
