Disclaimer: I just wish Harry Potter was mine.
Here's chapter 6! Originally the first part of this was with chapter 5 but seeing as my computer was being a pain in the butt I had to change some stuff. Anyways, enjoy!
Chapter 6:The Train Ride
"Hey," Lily said, "What did your mum call you before we left?"
"A Metamorphmagus," Megan said.
"What's that mean?" asked Lily.
"It means I can change my appearance at will," Megan said, "I was born with the ability but they're aren't many of us. There hasn't been one in my family for generations."
"So you can't just become one?" asked Lily.
Megan shook her head, "Nope," she said, "But you can become an Animagus- that means you can transform into an animal at will-or you can use a potion or spell. But we won't learn how to do that for a long time."
"How come?" asked Lily.
"Blimey Lily!" Megan said, "It's dangerous! Well, if you don't know what you're doing it is."
"Oh," Lily said, "But you can change your appearance to be anything you want then?"
Megan nodded, "Yeah, but I'm still not very good yet," she said, "It's really hard."
"Can you show me?" asked Lily.
Megan nodded and she squeezed her eyes shut, wrinkling her nose as she concentrated. There was a small popping noise and her hair turned red to match Lily's. She grinned at Lily who smiled back. Megan concentrated again and with another pop her hair returned to normal. Suddenly, her grin widened.
"You know what?" she said.
"What?"
"I think I just figured out the perfect revenge," whispered Megan, "I'll tell you later though, OK?"
"OK," Lily agreed.
Just then, the door slid open to reveal James Potter, Sirius Black and two boys Lily had never met. One looked rather pale and sickly with messy looking brown hair but had sparkling grey eyes. The other looked like a tag-a-long and was rather chubby with small watery eyes and mousy brown hair.
"Hello there ladies," Sirius said cheerfully as he bowed to them, "Lovely day isn't it?"
"Oh stuff it," Megan said as she rolled her eyes, "Hi Remus, Peter and look who has the nerve to join us, Mr. James Potter himself. You and Sirius may want to make yourselves scarce at school. Do not rest assured-we will have revenge so you two may want to sleep with one eye open."
"Uh oh," James said to Sirius, pretending to be worried, "We're in trouble now."
"You most certainly are," Lily said as she grinned at Megan.
"You boys won't know what hit you," Megan agreed with a grin.
"Oh really?" James said, "Is that so?"
"It is so," Lily countered.
"Should I be worried?" the chubby boy asked, looking slightly nervous.
"No," Megan reassured him, "You and Remus weren't even there so you have nothing to worry about. Oh Lily, that's Peter Pettigrew-" she pointed at the chubby boy, "and that's Remus Lupin," she pointed at the other boy, "Guys, this is Lily Evans."
"We know," Remus said, "They told us all about what happened and I told them they should watch their step, especially after those spicy 'treats' you slipped them." When Lily looked curious he added, "They wouldn't stop shooting smoke out of their ears and mouth so they had to go to St. Mungo's."
"The wizarding hospital," Megan explained.
"That was just plain mean by the way," Sirius said.
"This from the guy who thought it would be funny to push me off a cliff," Megan said.
"You're a Metamorphmagus, you could've changed into a bird," said Sirius, "And you pulled me down with you."
"What happened?" Lily asked.
"I broke practically every bone in my body," Megan said.
"So did I!" Sirius said.
"You landed on top of me and only broke your arm," Megan said.
"But you're OK now, right?" asked Lily.
"Oh yeah," Megan said with a nod, "Broken bones are really easy to fix with the tap of a wand. The only reason they kept me over night at the hospital was to keep me from killing Sirius."
"You tried to put poison in my healing potion!" said Sirius.
"For the last time, it wasn't poison," said Megan, "It dragon dung."
"Don't forget about the rain cloud she made follow you around for 2 days," said James, "Now that was good!"
"No it wasn't!" said Sirius.
"Yes it was," Megan said, "You needed a shower, I could barely breathe when I was in the same room as you."
"That was because you poured Stinksap all over me," said Sirius.
"Well, you shouldn't have pushed me off that cliff," Megan said.
"It was his idea!" Sirius said as he pointed at James.
"I said it as a joke-I wasn't serious!" James said quickly, "Besides, she turned my hair green and it wouldn't change back for a week."
"Not to mention the Niffler she set loose in your room," Remus added helpfully.
"What's a Niffler?" asked Lily.
"They're little animals that like shiny things," explained Megan, "They're quite useful in finding treasure but they can tear places apart if you set them loose. However, in this case, that was the point."
"It ripped up all my Quidditch posters!" James said angrily.
Megan shrugged, "You should've thought of that before you tried to sneak one into my room," she said, "Besides, I was only returning it to you. You're lucky I don't believe in 'finder's keepers.' Right Lily?"
Lily nodded, "Right," she agreed with a grin.
"Now boys," Megan said, as a sweet smile appeared on her face, "I'd like to have a chat with Lily so you four can leave."
"But we don't want to leave," James said, "Do we boys?"
"No we don't," Sirius said but Peter and Remus were already edging towards the door.
"Well then, would you like to help me practice Transfiguration?" asked Megan, "You see, I've been wondering if I can turn people into frogs but I haven't had a chance to practice yet."
The words had barely escaped her lips and the boys had bolted for the door. It wasn't so much the threat that made them leave, it was more of the idea of what would happen when the spell went wrong.
Megan and Lily collapsed into giggles and it took several minutes for them to calm down. They then spent the rest of the train ride exchanging stories. Lily was fascinated by Megan's stories of pranks and revenge (most of which involved her causing some sort of discomfort for James and Sirius) and Megan was equally fascinated by Lily's stories about how awful Petunia was.
"Well, when you go home for Christmas you should give her some Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans," Megan said after one Lily's stories.
"What are those?" Lily asked.
"They're like those jellybeans that muggles eat," Megan explained, "You get all the usual flavours like chocolate, peppermint and caramel but you also get things like grass, vomit and earwax-basically things you don't really want to eat. They're lots fun and I can almost always tell which ones taste gross. We could pick out the bad ones and put them in a little bag for her."
"She's on a diet right now though," said Lily.
"So?" Megan said, "Tell her they're sugar free then."
"I still don't think she'd eat them," said Lily.
"Well it wouldn't hurt to try now would it?" Megan said.
"You know," Lily said thoughtfully, "You, James and Sirius seem a lot alike, except you're not arrogant like them."
"Really?" Megan said with a raised eyebrow, "How so?"
"Well," Lily said, "For starters, you all really enjoy pranks and revenge."
Megan grinned, "True," she said.
"You all seem like the type of people who get in trouble a lot," Lily said, "But you also seem like you get away with a lot."
"The joys of being the baby in the family."
"You're all obsessed with Quidditch."
"Of course."
"But you seem smarter then those two."
"Well reading helps," Megan said, "I'm pretty sure those two never read and it wouldn't surprise me if they can't read."
Lily giggled, "It wouldn't surprise me either," she said.

OK, so that contained a lot of pointless chatter but I was feeling rather inspired as far as prank ideas go. Chapters 7 & 8 should be up sometime soon. Chapter 7 may even be up later today, we'll see. Anyway, please review and thanks again for all the support and suggestions!
