Chapter 4: The First Prank

James carefully stepped off of the horseless carriage, and gazed up at the castle.

"It's weird, isn't it?" He said, "That this year we have to make our pranks the most grand of all? That there won't be a next year at this place?"

"Yeah," Sirius agreed, "And that after this year, no more roaming Hogsmeade by the full moon. Of course, no more hearing James moon over Lily, that's a plus."

"Hey! I do not moon over her!"

"Yeah, right, whatever Prongs..."

"Hey, you moon over 'Dani' "

"Not as much as you moon over Lily!"

"Like I said, I do not!"

"She's the only girl in all Hogwarts I love, and she hates me! Yeah, that's definitely not mooning over her." Sirius replied sarcastically.

Remus shook his head, and walked toward the dining hall with Peter, leaving James and Sirius arguing.

"GUYS! If you don't quit soon, you'll miss the Sorting!"

James and Sirius stopped, and chased Remus and Peter to the Great Hall.

===============================================

Lily and her friends had been watching and listening to the whole thing from a distance. Lily was blushing furiously.

Danielle smirked at her, knowing that Lily didn't blush very often.

"Lily, you did say in your letter that you might need a boyfriend this year."

"Hey, I was only joking!"

"It's not as if he hasn't asked you out to every single Hogsmeade weekend since fifth year!"

"He might adore me, but I definitely don't like him!"

"Oh Lils! Stop fooling yourself! You know you like him!"

"I do not!"

"Do to!"

"Do not!"

"Do to!"

"Honestly, you two are just like James and Sirius!" Samantha put in.

"Well, if I'm like Sirius," said a blushing Danielle, "Then you're just like Remus!"

Everyone but Belle was blushing.

"Which would make me?" she asked timidly.

"Peter." Replied the other three girls at once.

She blushed, but pretended to look revolted. "Eeew! He's sooo not my type!"

Lily raised her eyebrows, "Honestly Belle, he is!"

"You're always saying that James isn't your type, right? Well he is!"

Lily glared at her, and walked quickly toward the Great Hall.

===============================================

"Let the feast begin!" said Dumbledore, clapping his hands.

The Sorting had just finished, and Sirius' stomach was growling loudly. Luckily for him, food appeared on their plates, and he dug right in.

James ate a lot, but not as disgustingly as Sirius, who had just shoved a gigantic spoonful of mashed potatoes into his mouth.

All four Marauders were constantly shooting glances at the Slytherin table.

"When?" James whispered to Sirius.

"Watch Snape. When he has a huge spoonful about into his mouth, go."

James waited patiently until the perfect time, and he muttered a spell under his breath.

Suddenly, all of the Slytherins food turned red and gold, the colors of Gryffindor.

Sirius muttered a charm, and a red and gold message appeared above the Slytherins feast.

It read, "The little Slytheringlins feast is the first courtesy for the year of yours truly, The Marauders."

The whole Hall (even a few of the staff) except the "Slytherinlings" burst out laughing.

Professor Malfoy, the Slytherin Head and the Marauders second biggest enemy's father, gave the Marauders a detention (of course) and (of course) would've deducted points from Gryffindor, but there were no points to take, as it was the beginning of the year.

They just smirked, taking the punishments unflinchingly. "Oh, and Potter, watch yourself! Head boy and all!" Prof. Malfoy snarled at James.

"Well Prongs, you're really gonna have to watch yourself this year, what with two Malfoys watching your back." Sirius commented sarcastically.

"Oh, I'm so very scared." James replied, also sarcastically, but he was distracted. Lily was looking at him shaking her head, and saying something to her friends.

===============================================

"Lils! He's looking at you!" Samantha whispered to Lil.

"So? Why would I care if an arrogant jerk like him was staring at me?"

"Honestly, Lil. Shouldn't you at least give him a chance?" Danielle asked.

"Why should I?"

"He's always so nice to you! Can't you be nice to him?" Belle asked her. Belle had a secret crush on him, but never would've admitted it to James.

"No! He's nice to me, but not to people he can hex!"

"Oh come on!"

Lily glared at her friends and walked over to the new first years, introducing herself and meeting the new Gryffindors.

===============================================

"Gosh man! You need to get over her!" Sirus yelled at James, who had just broken his trance. Sirius had asked him something, James hadn't replied. Sirius asked three more times before he followed James' gaze, to Lily. Sirius had punched him hard, and 'woke up' James.

James glared at him, but only shrugged, "Seriously Padfoot. Will you ever grow up?"

"I could ask you the same thing."

James sighed, gazing at Lily again.

"I'm going to get over her this year. It's my last chance to date someone else at Hogwarts, and I'm going to take it!"

"Good job Prongs." Remus said, though he wasn't convinced James could do that.

"I mean, there are tons of girls almost as good looking as her, might as well date them."

Remus still wasn't convinced, and glanced at Samantha, who noticed, and blushed. He hurriedly looked away, blushing also.

Soon, the feast was over, and they went up to the dormitories.

James sighed, knowing that he couldn't get over Lily. Not after years of trying to get her.

===============================================

Lily sighed also, wondering if she was starting to fall for James. Of course not, he's an arrogant jerk! Said a voice in the back of her head, though not with much conviction.

She fell asleep, shaking her head.
