CHAPTER THREE-

DISCLAIMER- you know, saying I own nothing makes me feel rather sad and depressed. So for today we will just say, I own everything you don't recognize. There, now we don't know how much I own, Though it is very little, but who knows.

In the Common Room that night, James and Sirius were brainstorming on ideas on how to get Ritz back.

"We could feed him to Moony." Sirius said with a smile to his friends.

"Not again Padfoot, you remember what almost happened last time don't you." Remus hissed back to Sirius, not enjoying how Sirius said it with calm and ease.

"Oh, I was just joking buddy, geez." Sirius said with a wave of his hand.

"Well, that's also what you said last time with Snivellus." James hissed back.

"Oh, Snivellus deserved it though. Not that Ritz doesn't either." Sirius replied.

"No one deserves that." Remus said straight to Sirius' face to make him understand.

"I know, okay. Sorry, how about a truth potion at dinner tomorrow for that fruit basket." Sirius said.

"No, he used to be an Auror. I think he might realize if something was in his drink." James said, winding a quill between his fingers.

"He's right you know. This is going to be difficult." Remus replied.

"how about tying him to a chair and burning his finger nails off." Peter said, not even looking up from his Divination homework.

"that's kind of sick Wormtail." Remus replied uneasily.

"Yeah, not a good idea." James said, staring in disbelief at his friend.

"whatever." Peter replied as if it were nothing.

"Let's get a girl's opinion." Sirius said with glee, then shouted "BURGENDY! DARLING, CAN YOU COME HERE FOR ONE MOMENT?"

"What's up?" Burgendy said as she sat down in a fluffy orange chair across from James, Sirius, and Remus.

"Well Burgendy, we want to get back at Ritz for his outstanding point deduction today, any thoughts?" Sirius said with a smile.

"Well, how about hiding a purse in his desk, full of tampons mind you, and "discover" it one day in class."

" I like the way she thinks." Remus said.

"darling I think I love you." Sirius said, took Burgendy's hand, and kissed the top of it and added. "thanks love." And with that Burgendy left.

"Smart girl that one." James said smiling at his friends smoothness.

"Now how on earth are we going to get tampons and a purse?" Remus said, the thought just now occurring to him.

"I have no clue." Sirius replied.

"I do." James answered, got up and walked out.

Lily sat in the Library, waiting for Remus so they could study the Invisibility Charm, when James Potter burst into the library, searching around for someone.

"I NEED A GIRL WHO WANTS TO HELP ME WITH SOMETHING." He said to the library full of students and a shocked librarian.

Just then about 10 girls got up and hurried over to the tall, skinny, head boy and they left into the hall.

"Wonder what THATS all about." Lily thought to herself as she started looking for information on the charm she needed to look up, rather upset that she was ditched.

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

"Okay Ladies, hello, well. I need one girl to help me with a prank, but this girl cannot tell a single soul about it, got it?" James said to to group of anxious looking young women in front of him.

"I will choose now, well how about you." James added and pointed to a girl with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was a second year in Ravenclaw so James took her to the side after the disappointed looking girl left.

"Hello, James Potter, and you are?"

"I am Jyllian Tompson. I an in Ravenclaw." Jyl said with smile to James.

"Okay, well now. You sure you want to help with a prank. You might get in trouble."

"Of course. I would love to."

"Okay, well. Here's the deal, we need two boxes of Tampons and one VERY GIRLY purse. Can you do that?" James asked the small blonde.

Jyl just giggled and nodded and guaranteed that she would have the stuff for them by Friday.

James was walking down the corridor when he spotted a scene he wished wasn't happening. Snape, Malfoy, and Bellatrix had Lily cornered in the corridor, she was crying and holding her wand out in front of her protectively and repeating over and over again, "I am not, I am not."

"come on Mudblood, it won't hurt in the slightest." Lucius Malfoy said to Lily as he stood in front of her and grabbed her shoulders.

"Leave me alone Malfoy." With that Lily tried to ran free but Bellatrix stepped in her way.

"Oh, you know you want it. So stop resisting." Bellatrix said as she pushed Lily back in the center to Malfoy. "come Snape, lets leave them alone." But before they were able to turn around James had sent a stunning spell at each of them, the most powerful at Lucius and running to Lily's shaking aide.

"Potter, what....what.....thank you." Lily said, than ran off towards the Common Room.

This got James thinking. 'she won't tell, she is too embarrassed.' But James would not let them get away with what they had on their minds, no, no way at all.

After James had kicked each a few good kicks, he left for Dumbledore's office. Remembering the password from his previous visits, James knocked on his headmaster's office door. For the first time ever, James wasn't here on orders of punishment from his professors, it was serious this time.

"Come in James." Prof. Dumbledore said through the door. "Ah, I haven't seen you in a couple days, I was beginning to worry." Dumbledore said with smile and added. "what have you done this time?"

"sir, It is not what I have done, but what others have done, or were going to do you see. I caught Lucius Malfoy, Severus Snape, and Bellatrix Black corning Lily Evans in a corner and Lucius was, well, he was, being out of place shall we say and *harassing our head girl with unpleasant things. I had come across this and stunned all three of them while Lily ran to the common room. I came because I don't think she would have come forward with this, who knows, maybe it's happened before." James said very seriously to Professor Dumbledore who had a frown on his usually happy face.

"This is serious James, I am extremely grateful you came to me with this and I would appreciate it if you would sent Ms. Evans to my office immediately so I can talk to her. Where are the three stunned students you apprehended at?"

"Third floor corridor, by the statue of the horse in chains." James said sadly and walked to the common room to send Lily to Dumbledore.
