This incident was very clear. Lily couldn't stand James, which foolishly believed she is madly in love with him. Lily's opinion about James was very negative; she believed that he was a snob, a stupid pretty face and nothing more. His constant questions about dating her annoyed her, and made her think he's even more stupid than he looks, after getting no as an answer for two years she thought that he might leave her alone. Instead he got worse each year, bothering her and disturbing her. It was the beginning of their fifth year in Hogwarts, and a beginning of another year of being hugged, kissed, and flattered by James for Lily. How disgusting, she though. She'll have to push him away from her in the common room, shout at him in the corridors, and run away from him in the library, how will she be able to study? And the tests, they will be harder this year! Lily couldn't believe she'll make it to the end of the year without failing when James is after her.

James was after Lily, even when he was hugged, kissed, and flattered by more than half of the girls in Hogwarts. He never loved any of them, Lily was the one, and he will have her. It was hard walking from class to class when in each corner there was hiding a girl that might jump on him and start flirting with him. Sirius always said that James should give up and get another girl. Remus just kept telling him that Lily really hates him, and Peter just agreed with both of them. Remus was the one that got well with Lily; they talked once in a while. At least until they both became perfects. Remus was with his friends most of the time, and Lily had to handle misbehaving students by herself. That always made her angry, and when she was angry she yelled at him, and at the same time used the opportunity to tell James how stupid, or annoying he is. That was her mistake, because that made James think she loves him back even more this year. If he could, he would have stepped in to the girl's dormitory right now and tell every girl in there that he loves Lily, and then tell Lily herself that he adores her. Sadly for him, and luckily for Lily he couldn't, that made him give a sad look at the door each time Lily disappeared behind it, that kind of look was on his face right after Lily went away. He looked at the door for a few moments and then went back to his chat with his friends.

"So, Moony, when will be our next trip to Hogsmeade? I'm getting board really fast." said Sirius.

"It's not so fun you know." answered Remus. Being a werewolf indeed wasn't fun, and transforming into one was even worse.

"Yes, but we're going to be with you. You know it's better when we're with you." said James.

"Yes, it's not so bad!" squeaked Peter.

"I suppose, but I don't want to talk about it now. Someone might hear."

"We're in the common room Moony, there's too much blabbering around us. No one can really hear, relax." James tried to calm him down. The answer he got was simple.

"Easy for you to say."

A few hours later James Potter was in the corridor, out of his bed, with the other marauders under his invisibility cloak on their way to the perfects bathroom. They went silently, the marauders map close to Sirius's nose as they made their way in the castle. Something gray passed by, probably Ms. Norris, the janitor's yellow eyed cat.

"Don't worry mates, Filch is above us with a poor Hufflepuff" said Sirius. They sighted and continued walking. Finally they were there; James waved his wand, whispered "Tarantallegra!" and they got in. As soon as they were there they took off the cloak. The mermaid in the picture was sleeping; they didn't want to wake her up.

"Lets start now, we want that perfect to have a nice bath now, don't we?" said James. The started to cast spells on the taps, instead of water, black mud would come out of them when their victim will open them. Remus mumbled that they shouldn't do it. "Come on, maybe it will be someone we like!" he said.

"Ha, but we don't like any perfects, besides you of course." said James. Sirius started to cough very loudly. "Shut up Padfoot! I know she won't use this room tomorrow; I'll make her use another bathroom. There are plenty of them in Hogwarts!" said James, anger sneaking in to his handsome face.

"It's much smarter to simply fix the taps and leave." marked Remus.

"I agree with Remus about this one", said Peter.

"What kind of friends are you! I thought you wanted to see a dirty Slytherin perfect!" called James. "And anyway since when you two started to be Moony's clones?" he asked.

"We're not his clones; we just think that it's not such a good idea for a prank. You don't want to see a filthy Lily tomorrow, do you?" asked Sirius.

"James, come on. Let's go." said peter.

"But what if I manage to keep Lily away of this bathroom tomorrow? I swear I will." said James a begging look in his chocolate brown eyes.

"Will you?" asked Remus. James nodded. "And if it will be Lily it's only your fault, we don't have any part in this prank." James nodded again, with a bit of insulted expression.

There was silence for a couple of minutes and then Sirius called: "What are we waiting for? Lets finish and go!" and so they did.
