Ch 4 - All the Shiny Jewels
"Peeves drop one more dungbomb on me and die!" Sara shouted. Trying to duck as dungbombs came hurtling towards her. The poltergeist seemed to be aiming specifically at Sara, probably because she had thrown her make-up bag at him to try and get him to go bother someone else, he was most unhappy to find lipstick all over his face. Of course, Peeves had taken this as some sort of challenge and had zoomed off only to appear with an armful of dungbombs and had been pelting them at Sara for the past 5 minutes.
Finally, bored with his easy victory over Sara, Peeves zoomed over to some terrified looking first years who proceeded to duck in much the same way as Sara, though not nearly as loud.
"We were very lonely after you left us on the train," said a slow drawling voice. Lily froze and slowly turned around. Sara was already facing Lucius Malfoy, and his gang of Slytherins with her fist clenched.
"For some reason I highly doubt that," Lily said dryly.
"Ah, Snivellous you seem to get greasier every year and Malfoy, not enough time in the sun?" a cocky voice interrupted. Lily turned to see James striding towards them with the rest of the Marauders behind him. Lily blinked, was that a badge on his robe? It looked almost like a. Head Boy Badge!
"Potter, please tell me that that oh so shiny object you are wearing on your robe is one of your little pranks," Lily said slowly. James grinned and bowed, while the Slytherins looked like they had just been rammed in the stomach with a hammer.
Malfoy in particular looked murderous and shot an icy glare at Lily. "Don't worry little flower, this idiot won't always be around to guard you, be sure of that, his little badge doesn't enable him to be everywhere at once."
Lily narrowed her eyes, "Now why would I need any protecting from this as you said "idiot", which I agree with, when my own badge can do the guarding?" she replied with a smirk, pulling out her own shiny badge. Everyone's jaw dropped, even Tammy and Sara. Malfoy was looking even more murderous. Remus on the other hand was smiling at Lily, looking at her with what looked almost like pride. He was secretly thinking that it would put James' ego down a notch, and there was no one better to do that than Lily. He had always felt a sisterly kinship with her and never teased her like James and Sirius, and Peter was too petrified to.
Lily grinned, "Well, catch you all later." And with that she flounced off, with a slightly bemused Tammy and Sara behind her.
"There are no words." said James.
"None whatsoever," added Sirius.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"That was. unbelievable," Said Tammy.
"Yeah, they're probably all still scratching their heads," Laughed Lily.
"Well I agree with that for those two male sluts, but Malfoy who at least has half a brain is most likely fuming," Sara confirmed. "And Lily, I cannot believe you didn't tell us you were Head Girl!"
"Well, I was waiting for the right moment, and I have to say that moment back then was perfect." Lily said without a trace of regret or sorrow.
They all grinned at each other as they linked arms and stepped into the Great Hall
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What does she mean she doesn't need any protecting from an 'idiot'?" exclaimed James.
"Exactly that," said a bored Remus.
"Oh shut it Moony, I noticed you didn't seem surprised or angry that that little bitch is now Head Girl."
Remus rolled his eyes, James had been going on about Lily being Head Girl for ages now, and even Sirius was getting over it. "Well, of course I wasn't surprised Prongs, anyone with two brain cells to rub together could see she was going to be Head Girl."
"Yeah well." James trailed off, unable to think of anything to say to this.
"I think its time for a little payback," said Sirius, rubbing his hands together. James' eyes lit up as he nodded his head slowly.
"But what? We've done just about everything there is to do." Protested Remus, sick of all these pranks.
"Well, maybe we should show her that this 'idiot' is perfectly capable of guarding her." James said, slowly thinking of an idea.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I cannot wait until I see the looks on the boys faces once they realise what we've done," Sara said as she and Lily walked towards the Gryffindor table. They were talking about the little prank they had been planning all summer, while Tammy went and got her bag from the dormitory.
"Do you think it would look a bit obsessive if we do it on the first day back?" Lily pondered aloud.
"Of course not! Remember who we're talking about Lil!" Sara said lightly.
Lily laughed, "I had totally forgotten dearest friend, my holiday was way to relaxing."
"Okay then, here they come now, are yo- What are they carrying in their hands?" Sara asked confusedly. Lily turned and saw Sirius and James walking to the end of the Gryffindor table. They were holding many furry things in their hands. They looked like. Nifflers? At least 8 of them she thought.
Lily froze. "Sara. something tells me that's not good." She watched as James stood up and waved his wand in their direction. All of a sudden, her whole body felt weighed down. She looked at herself and screamed, she was covered in sparkly gold jewellery! She looked at Sara, who was covered in the same thing.
As if in a daze, Lily watched as the first Niffler raised its head and looked at them. Oh my god - no she thought. She tried to rip of the jewellery but there was some sort of stick charm laid on them.
"Run Sara!" Sara didn't need telling, she had already taken off. Lily ran after her, she felt the first Niffler grab hold of her ankle. She had forgotten the Nifflers were unusually fast creatures. She looked up to see Sara screaming at 2 Nifflers that had climbed up her robes.
James and Sirius were laughing so hard they were kneeling on the floor. All the Nifflers had caught up to them, they were biting at the jewellery and no matter what Lily and Sara did, they would not release their hold.
"Oh Lily!" sang James, "Maybe you need some guarding from this 'idiot' after all?"
By now, everyone in the Great Hall had looked up, most were laughing along with Sirius and James.
Lily and Sara ran out of the hall and ran into Tammy, who took one look at the Nifflers still attacking both of them, and the jewellery, heard the laughing in the Hall and pointed to towards the lake.
Of course, Lily thought, Nifflers hate water. Tammy tried not to smile as the two girls ran off to the lake and dived in. The things that James and Sirius came up with were very original she thought.
"Up to their pranks already?" a voice interrupted.
Tammy turned and saw Remus Lupin looking at her. She blushed and nodded and managed to say "The boys set Nifflers on them, after covering them in Jewellery from what I can see."
Remus laughed then stopped abruptly when he realised they were talking about her best friends.
"I have to admit, these jokes are getting the slightest bit tiresome." Remus said conversationally.
"Tiresome? They are so old and lame and stupid I'm surprised people still laugh at them!" Tammy blurted out, then looked ashamed. "Sorry, its just I am so sick of it, these 6 years of pranks that started because James covered Sara's face in warts.
Remus nodded, "No need to apologise, I was thinking the exact same thing." Tammy smiled at him, causing Remus to blush. She really was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
"Why is it that you don't take part in their pranks?" Tammy asked, curious.
"I was thinking about asking you that question." Remus said gently.
"Well," said Tammy thoughtfully, "I think it's because I don't see the point in it. We're all 17 and in our last year at Hogwarts, except we're still acting like first years. But I suppose even back then it was stupid."
Remus nodded, "Then there's your answer to your question. It's stupid. It's pointless. It's getting really old."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Arghhhhhhhh! I hate them, I hate them, I HATE THEM!" screamed Lily, soaking wet from head to toe. They had finally gotten rid of the jewellery and had thrown it into a pile where the Nifflers were happily burying it.
"They are going to be so sorry once we're through with them." Sara said, sitting down under a tree. They dared not return to the Great Hall, where they would be teased to no end.
"I think its time to put our plan into action."
~~Hehehe, don't worry, Sirius and James will get what's coming to them, trust me. Well, that was a fun chapter to write on a boring day so hope you enjoyed it! Another prank coming up . . .~~
