Chapter 1: An Oppurtunity and a Prank

It was the perfect moment, the best moment of her life...that is until she opened her eyes. The sweet, mature boy she had been kissing turned out to be her worst enemy. So she did the logical thing and slapped him.

Ok, now I owe you an explaination. The She is Lily Evans and the poor boy she slapped was James Potter. To fully explain the situation at hand, we must go back a week before when an important discovery was made...

Sirius Black bounded into the Gryffindor Common room with a huge grin on his face. As he made his way across to room he randomly changed people different colors, which was a normal Sirius thing to do.

"Hey James," he said. "There's going to be a Halloween ball, where you masquerade as someone else!!!"

At that moment Lily walked in and an idea formed in Sirius's mind, which brought a devilish grin to his face. Before James could even start to wonder what he was thinking, Sirius ran off to find Lara Brown, Sierra Potter, and Remus Lupin.

He found them in the library, studying for the huge potions exam. Professor Evansky gave notoriously hard exams and anyone with common sense studied when he announced one.

Sirius, who never studied for anything, bounced over to where his friends were. In fact, many were suprised that Sirius even knew where the library was.

"You know James and Lily absolutely LOVE each other, right!" he asked when he reached the table. All three of his friends looked at him like he was crazy--which was normal.

"No," Sierra ventured to say. I wouldn't exactly call it love, more like extreme loathing if not hate."

"Anyway,"Sirius continued. "There's this ball next Saturday. If we could get the lovebirds to agree to it, we could set them up on a blind date to the ball!"

"Sirius," Remus interjected quietly. "In case you havn't noticed, Lily and James don't like being in the same room with each other unless circumstance force them to be, and even then they stay as far away from each other as possible. I doubt Lily would touch James with a ten foot pole, much less dance with him."

"Remus, Remus, Remus, do you doubt my intellegence that much? It's a masqureade ball, you disguise yourself as someone else. And at midnight all disguises will be dropped. Lily and James will fall madly in love with each other without even knowing it!"

"That's perfect!" Lara exclaimed

"Thanks," Sirius replied with a grin of triumph.

They chatted for a little while and after getting kicked out of the library, went to begin their plan.

"Hey Lily," Lara said after dinner in their dorm.

Lily got a nervous look on her face at the overly cheerful tone of voice. "What is it?"

"Well, I was thinking that if you didn't have a date for the Halloween ball,"Lily confirmed that she didn't. "I could set you up with someone. 'Cause I know this really great guy who'd be perfect for you." The last sentence came out in a rush.

"And who would this really great guy be?"

"Well, I can't tell you. But he'll look like Sirius."

"Like Sirius?"

"Yeah, but he's not really like Sirius."

"Well...I guess so."

"Great, you won't regret this Lily, I promise."

As that was said Lara rushed from the room to tell Sirius what Lily had said, so she missed Lily's mutter of, "I'd better not."

Meanwhile...

"Hey James, remember that ball I told you about?" Sirius asked as he bounced across the dorm room.

"Uh, yeah," James replied, looking up from his Transfiguration essay.

"Do you have a date yet?"

"No." James was starting to wonder where this was going.

"Can I set you up with someone?"

James eyed his best friend warily and Sirius aranged his face into his 'I'm a little angel and would never do anything wrong' expression.

"Ok, I guess,"he answered after a few seconds.

"Your date is going to look like Lara," Sirius called over his shoulder as he ran down the steps to meet Lara and see how things went on the Lily end of things.

As planned, Sirius and Lara met in the corner of the common room.

"Did she agree?" Sirius asked.

Lara nodded, "You?"

Sirius grinned. "Time for phase two, tomorrow we tell them that their date agreed and lay down the rules."

"Right," they were silent until Lara couldn't stand it and finally said, "I'm bored, we should do something to Snape, we've let him be too long."

"Yeah," Sirius agreed, he looked at her. "Shall we give him The Works??"

"It would be an honor."
