Chapter 4: Food Fight!
-----
"James Potter, stop throwing paper airplanes," the Transfiguration teacher, Professor Infrina, sighed.
"Aye, aye, captain!" James yelled, swinging his fist in front of him. Many kids laughed as Professor Infrina rolled her eyes.
"Very funny, Mr. Potter. Now, back to the lesson..." she said and she turned back to the board. James stuck his tongue out at her when her back was turned, reminding Lily as an immature child. As she watched James make faces at the professor, she felt a sheet of paper hit her arm. She looked down and recognized Julia's hurried handwriting.
~I thought you didn't like James~ it said. She frowned and looked at Julia who was sitting at the next table.
"I don't," she mouthed. Julia sighed and gestured to Lily that she wanted the paper back. Making sure Professor Infrina wasn't looking, she slipped the paper back to her. Julia picked up her quill and started scribbling. She gave the parchment back to Lily.
~Don't give me that! You were just starring at him! Not to mention, you were smiling~ Lily shook her head in disbelief and sighed. After a couple of seconds, the paper was in Julia's hands.
~Well, if he's doing something funny, I think that gives me an excuse to look at him~ As Julia read this, it was her turn to shake her head. She wrote back:
~Sure~ The bell rang and Lily crumpled up the piece of paper and threw it into the trash bin. Julia was being ridiculous. Lily? Liking James? 'Right', she thought, 'like that will ever happen.' He was the most arrogant and obnoxious boy ever in her opinion.
The morning went by excruciatingly slow, as the first day back always did. James and Sirius did many dumb things in the three classes before lunch. Lily was so happy when it was lunch time.
"Hello!" Alex yelled as she plopped down in the seat next to Lily.
"Why are you so happy?" Lily asked, obviously worn out.
Alex's happy expression turned serious as she pondered this. "Hmm... I dunno." She shrugged and went back to her usual hyper-ness.
James looked at the exhausted Lily. "Aw, Lils, you look terrible!" At this she glared at him. "Will a kiss make it all better?" he asked with a grin.
"No. It'll make my mood worse."
He wasn't that disappointed because he knew that was coming.
"Will you go out with me, my love?"
"What do you think my answer is?"
"Hm... would it be 'no'?"
"You're smarter than you act, Potter," Lily said sarcastically.
"Why, thank you my love!" James said.
"Don't call me that," Lily sighed.
"Okie dokie, my love!" he said and he quickly dodged a spoonful of mashed potatoes that she sent flying towards his head. Bad move.
"Eek!" a Hufflepuff yelled as the mashed potatoes hit her eyes and the drink she was holding went flying onto the person in back of her.
"MY HAIR!" Severus Snape yelled as he threw the goblet off of his head.
"Well at least now he'll have an excuse to wash it," Remus whispered to Sirius.
"Don't get your hopes up, Moony," Sirius whispered back and they both started sniggering.
Severus Snape always had a bad temper, so it wasn't surprising when he hurled his plate at the Marauders, obviously assuming it was them that 'ruined' his hair. It was a good thing he had bad aim, so the plate landed in the middle of the Gryffindor table. James had an idea.
"FOOD FIGHT!" he yelled as loud as he could. As if everyone was waiting for this (as they probably were), food started flying everywhere. People stood up on tables and threw food down on the people nearest them. Some ran around the Great Hall and threw juice on everyone they passed. Lily and Samantha hid under the table and saw other girls and boys under there too. Julia and Alex, the braver of the four friends, took part in this-once-in-a- lifetime opportunity to participle in a food fight.
"SETTLE DOWN!" many off the teachers were yelling. The kids either couldn't hear them over the yelling or chose to ignore them. Finally after letting the kids have a little fun, Dumbledore stood up and used a spell to make his voice louder.
"SETTLE DOWN!" came his unusually loud voice from the head table, and at this all of the kids quieted down. "Thank you," he said in his normal voice. He said a spell, waved his wand, and everyone watched as all the food disappeared. New food appeared on the plates in the middle of the table. James watched this happen and before he could get some more food, he felt someone pinching his ear.
"Ow, ow, ow," he whimpered as the Care of Magical Creatures professor, Professor Delwitt, dragged him out of his seat and out of the hall by his ear. All the kids sat and watched him leave as he pleaded for her to let go off his ear.
Lily immediately knew what was going to happen. A part of her thought he deserved detention. He was the one who called out 'food fight'. But another part of her felt guilty. She had been the one who threw the mashed potatoes in the first place. She deserved the detention as much as he did. Her conscience took over.
'Why am I doing this?' she wondered as she rushed out of the Great Hall. She came to the entrance hall and saw James being yelled at my Professor Delwitt.
"But I told you, I didn't throw the food!" James yelled with an obviously frustrated tone in his voice.
"You are Head Boy, James. By declaring a food fight, you are not setting and example."
"But-," he started.
"It was me, Professor!" Lily said as she ran over to them.
Professor Delwitt stared at her. "It was y-y-you?" she asked in disbelief. Then her expression changed to amusement. "I'm sure Mr. Potter here appreciates you trying to take the blame, Miss Evans, but-"
"I'm telling the truth!" she exclaimed "I threw the mashed potatoes and they caused a girl to throw her drink at Snape who-"
"I saw what happened, Miss Evans," Delwitt snapped. Her mouth became a thin line as she thought about what she should to with the two of them. James glanced over at Lily, who was starting to look nervous. Finally, Delwitt came to her conclusion.
"Detention. Both of you. Next week. Be here in this spot at 9 pm, sharp. NO EXCUSES!" and with that, she turned to walk back into the Great Hall, her graying hair bouncing with every step she took.
----- Yay! Chapter 4 done! Woopie! That was the longest chaper I've written so far. It was 4 1/2 pages on Microsoft word. Chapter 1 and 2 were around 4 pages I believe and Chapter 3 was about 3 pages or something.
