CHAPTER 4:
One week later, Lily was in Charms class with a polka-dotted hat in front of her. The other students in class all still had their plain grey hats in front of them. But Lily was no stranger to being finished first in Charms class, which was why she was always able to write so many notes to her friends.
This class, however, Lily didn't feel like passing notes. She felt a burning desire to get revenge on Sirius for his previous prank on her the week before. She didn't think giving him a couple black eyes, which were just starting to heal, was enough to quench her humiliation, which was still practically branded in her memory. She couldn't stop thinking about all the laughs from people passing her in the hallways. They had pointed and given Sirius high fives when they had found out it was his handiwork.
A sudden idea came to her, as she raised her wand, pointing the tip at Sirius, who was glaring at his hat. 'Perfect,' Lily thought, 'He's completely unaware.'
A mischievous glint in her eye, Lily muttered an incantation.
After the words were said, Lily then leaned back in her seat, crossing her arms. She felt lucky to be seated in the back that day, so she could observe the repercussions of her actions.
The bell rang five minutes later, and only then, when Peter stood up, did he notice Sirius' head. A hat, bright orange, sat tilted on his head, clashing horribly with the neon green of Sirius' hair. Lily knew Sirius would hate her for this, since he was always going on about how incredibly stylish he was.
Lily looked on as Peter animatedly informed Sirius of his new look, and was highly amused at Sirius' reaction. First disbelief, then shock, then utter fear. Sirius placed his hand on top of his head and felt around. Much to his dismay, and Lily's joy, it was true, and Lily almost burst out laughing when Sirius tried to rip the hat off of his head and couldn't.
When James, Peter, and Remus tried to help their friend and didn't succeed, Lily's classmates burst into laughter, Lily joining in.
As realization dawned on Sirius, he turned to face his fellow Gryffindors, and finally, his eyes fell upon Lily, who was practically stamping her feet in laughter. His eyes narrowed, and as Lily finally stopped laughing, she wiggled her fingers at him, and walked out of the classroom with Evan, Andrea and Patrick following close behind.
Lily couldn't help turning around for one last look at her handiwork. As she looked on, she nearly burst out laughing again as she saw Sirius bent over so Professor Flitwick could un-do the spell. Lily grinned with satisfaction as she remembered the caution in the book where she had gotten the spell from: WARNING - Spell lasts 48 hours.
"That was brilliant, Lily!" Andrea praised, sitting down in her seat at Gryffindor table, placing her books beside her plate.
"Really," Patrick agreed, nodding as he himself reached for a piece of steak.
"Thanks," Lily grinned. She had received several comments on her way to the Great Hall. Word had spread quickly of Sirius' new look. Those who did not believe it, soon saw for themselves. Several students had added their own temporary touches in passing him by. Currently, he had not only the green hair and shockingly orange hat, but also deep purple parachute pants and a yellow ruffled shirt that looked as though it had been worn in medieval times. Not to mention the shocking amount of 'Kick Me' and other such signs on Sirius' back. He hadn't seemed to have noticed these yet, which made it all the more hilarious for Lily to see Sirius' bewildered look whenever someone walked up to him and booted him in the shins!
Even the teachers joined in the fun, after all the many pranks he had pulled on them over the years. Professor McGonagall, a strict Transfiguration teacher and Head of Gryffindor House, even surprised everyone by following some advice on Sirius' nose that read, 'Tweak Me'.
In other words, Sirius was not amused.
Later that evening in Gryffindor's common room, he sat alone in the corner, facing the fire. Anyone who came within ten feet of him, including his friends, soon wished they hadn't because of the killer glare plastered on his face.
Lily was the only one brave enough to step up to him.
Sirius' immediate reaction was, "You're going to kick me, aren't you?" He looked miserably up at Lily.
"No Sirius, of course not," Lily replied warmly, "I think you have enough bruises already."
Sirius nodded gratefully. Lily sat down in a chair facing Sirius and they were silent for a few moments.
"You know, Snickelfritz, I don't think I'll ever pull a prank on you again," Sirius declared.
Smirking, Lily replied, "Really? And why's that?"
Grinning, Sirius answered, "Because you're pretty damn good at revenge."
Lily laughed and then smiled wickedly, "You know, something tells me this is the start of a beautiful.understanding."
Sirius nodded and starting drumming his fingers on her right hand against the fingers on his left, while rocking back and forth in his chair.
BAM!
Suddenly, Sirius' chair was backwards, Sirius still sitting in it. Sirius let out a groan while Lily laughed. She then helped him up.
Sirius sighed and then said, "Thanks, Snickelfritz."
Lily looked uncomfortable then, "Um, Sirius? Could you maybe not call me Snickelfritz?"
Sirius looked heartbroken, "Snickelfritz not like her name?"
"Well, it's kinda weird.and long," Lily added as an afterthought.
Sirius sighed, "Okay." then he brightened, "Can I call you Snix?"
This time it was Lily's turn to sigh, "Alright."
Sirius clapped like a three-year-old excitedly, "Yay!"
Just then, Evan walked over, placing his arm protectively around Lily's shoulders, and stated, "Well, you two seem to be.erm.*bonding*."
Sirius was practically shaking with fear, and he had good reason to, as Evan was considerably taller and more built than he, "Y-y-yessir!"
Lily laughed and poked Evan's side, "You're not jealous, are you?"
Evan straightened and cleared his throat, "Oh no! Of course not! Why should I be jealous?"
"Well, I'm glad you're not! And you don't have to worry about anything," Sirius exclaimed, clearly relieved, "Snix and I just have an understanding."
Evan looked confused, "Snix? Who's Snix?"
Lily raised her hand, "Me!"
"Er." Evan seemed puzzled, but then tentively replied, "I won't ask."
"Good plan!" Lily laughed, kissing his cheek.
Sirius looked a bit disgusted, but this time said nothing about this very blatant display of affection.
Just then James walked up. He was about the same height and build as Evan, but was less intimidating because of his immaturity.
"Look what I found!" James cried, stretching an elastic band between his fingers. He seemed to be having trouble holding it though.
"Ow! You great oaf!" Lily exclaimed, rubbing the spot on her forehead where the rubber band had hit her, "Watch how you handle that thing!"
"Oops." James replied, trying not to laugh. Even Evan was holding back a snicker.
Suddenly, as if on cue, Sirius, James, and Evan all burst out laughing, leaving Lily as the only one in the group not laughing.
Lily grumbled as she stalked back to a seat next to Andrea and Patrick, who, like many others in the common room, had been watching the situation with great amusement.
"Looks like you were having fun," Patrick greeted lightly.
"Yeah, I was! Until that idiot Potter came!" Lily muttered menacingly.
"Calm down, Lils! It was just a rubber band!" Andrea replied rationally.
"Yeah, one that just happened to hurt like hell!" Lily grumbled. A moment's pause and then, "He's just so immature!"
Patrick and Andrea looked at each other and nodded knowingly.
"What?" Lily asked, throwing her hand out in front of her.
"Nothing," Andrea and Patrick replied quite guiltily.
Lily sighed, "Oh, whatever." and with that, she walked up the stairs after a quick, "'Night!" over her shoulder.
