-The Winner-
On Monday, the first day of October, Lily made Sirius's books slide out of his reach whenever he tried to touch them. Several of his teachers were confused to find the boy's books on the floor in front of him instead of on his desk.
Tuesday was the last day of the bet. Lily made flaming squirrels run around the common room.
On her way down to breakfast, she bumped into Lucius Malfoy—literally.
"Watch where you're going!" he snapped.
"Sorry."
He walked into the Great Hall. James, who was behind Lily, heard Malfoy mutter, "Filthy Mudblood," as he passed. He was about to go after the despicable Slytherin when he suddenly got a better idea.
!!!
The Gryffindor sixth years seated themselves. A "poof" sound was heard coming from the Slytherin table. Everyone turned to look at Malfoy, who was standing up.
"What? What is it?" He looked down and screamed. He had long, curly hair and a dress. The dress had cow spots and a picture of Snape's teddy bear on it. He had a "Kick Me" sign on his back. He had bunny ears. His skin was orange and his hair was pink (AN: Ew… clashing…). His clothes were covered with bits of food. Flaming squirrels were running around his feet. A rain cloud was above him. He was standing in a pool of slime.
Everyone started laughing. Even the teachers were chuckling. Professor Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling more than usual.
Sarah turned to Lily and said, "I thought you already did your prank for today."
"I did," she replied, puzzled.
"Well, who did it then?"
"I did."
They turned to look at James. "You?" Lily asked.
"Yeah."
"You just lost the bet."
"I know."
"Why'd you do it? Today was the last day."
James said, "Malfoy called you a you-know-what. I had to do something."
"Oh. Thank you," Lily said quietly.
"I figured if I was going to lose, I might as well do it right."
Sarah turned to Sirius. "He lost. I believe we said ten Galleons."
Sirius groaned and handed his girlfriend some gold coins. "James, why'd you have to lose?"
!!!
"Well, today's the third. I guess I'm your slave until November. So what do you want me to do first?"
Lily grinned and said, "Let's see… Your first task will be to… kiss me."
"I can definitely do that."
!!!
"See, what'd I tell you?"
Sirius, Sarah, Remus, Veronica, and Peter were hiding behind some furniture, spying on their friends.
Remus groaned and handed his girlfriend fifteen Galleons. Veronica smiled and patted him on the head. "Why are our friends so predictable?"
