Chapter Nine
"James, we can't have that. It's dangerous. Do you-"
"Lily, it would be hysterical. How many people-"
"JAMES! IT WOULDN'T BE FUNNY TO HAVE PUMPKINS FLYING AROUND SMAHING INTO PEPLE, ESPECIALLY SLYTHERINS! IT WOULD ALSO NOT BE FUNNY TO PROCEED TO EXPLAIN WHY THE DANCE IS CALLED 'SMASHING PUMPKINS'!" Lily screeched at James. They were locked in the Transfiguration room planning the dance.
"Okay, okay, we won't do that," James said while holding his hands up defensively. "This is why I plan pranks with Sirius. He always gets the joke," James muttered under his breath. Lily didn't hear him.
"How about this James, we have costume party/dance for the older students. For the younger students, in each of the house common rooms, for the younger students, we have a party with music and food. There can be games also." James looked thoughtful at this.
"Sounds good. Sirius and I get to do 1 prank though. Only one, please Lily, please?" James got down on his knees and laid his head on her lap. "It won't be really dangerous, I promise."
"Lily was surprised at where he placed is head. She sat a bit stunned for a moment before remembering what he was talking about. "Fine, one prank and only one, understand?" James nodded in Lily's lap. He didn't move his head. He was too comfortable. Lily didn't really mind having his head there either. They sat like this for a few minutes before Lily came to her senses.
"Get off me James," she said with a sigh. James groaned but got up nonetheless. She shuffled some papers around until she found the one she was looking for.
"We need to discuss tasks now." They sat talking for 2 more hours before retiring to bed.

"So does everyone understand their jobs? Yes? Good. Those going with James, go outside and help him levitate things inside the Great Hall. Those going with me, go inside the hall and start putting up decorations," Lily said to the prefects. It was October 31st, the day of the dance. It was a Saturday and the students had Friday off to prepare for the dance. Lily and her friends spent the day hiding from the Marauders for they wanted to see their costumes.
"James, don't mess this up. This is a serious matter, not one to pull pranks on." James nodded and left the room. Lily sighed and went down to the Great Hall.
~*~
"NO! Not over there! Jason! What are you doing! STOP PEOPLE! GET OVER HERE!" lily's group wasn't really paying attention to what they were doing. This resulted in Lily having a conniption. "Look, I understand that you don't want to be here. I don't want to be here. I would rather spend time with my friends having fun. I would rather be preparing myself for the dance then preparing the Hall. If you do this right and do the things I asked you too, I will finish up the final touches and you can go all right. Get it done in 1 hour and you can go get ready, clear?"
"Crystal!" The prefects laughed.
"Okay then, get going!" the prefects got to work.
True to their word, they had gotten everything done in that amount of time. Lily was happy with them and she let them go after checking their work. She was sending moving spells and moaning spells to different objects. The hall looked great. It looked like a haunted house.
She sat down in one of the chairs and put her head on the table. James looked over at her. Gods, she looked good. Tired, but good. James didn't care that they were enemies. It didn't matter anymore. He was starting to like her.
"Lily, we have to go get ready now. We have an hour to get ready. Okay?"
"Yeah, let's go." She stood up and walked out of the hall with James.
~*~
"LILY HURRY UP!"
"GO TO HELL GWEN! I'M DRYING OFF!" Lily yelled at Gwen. Alice, Elise, and Sarah were shaking with silent laughter. Gwen was standing there with a grin on her face. The plan was to get her a perturbed as possible and then get her to look pretty. She would then forgive them. They didn't have to get her mad but it would be funny.
~*~
"JAMES, LOOK OUT! LILY'S BEHIND YOU!" James's head flew around to check. The boys in the dorm were laughing hysterically. James turned around and put boxers and sweatpants on.
"PADFOOT! I SWEAR TO MERLIN!" With that Sirius ran out of the room with James in close pursuit. He ran down the stairs and through the common room. Sirius shot a spell at the girls' staircases to let them up. The girls in the common room were oooing and awing over James and Sirius being half- naked.
Sirius ran into the girls' 7th year dormitories and screamed while jumping on Elise's bed. James came in furiously looking around for Sirius. He then stopped. He didn't even realize where he was when he was chasing Sirius. He was in Lily's dorm! Oh No!
"You know Gwen, I swear once I get some real clothes on you better watch out because..." Lily stopped and stared at seeing Sirius and James in her room. James looked her over. She was in her bra and panties!
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?! IS THIS SOME SICK WAY OF GETTING ME BACK FOR THAT TIME I SAW YOU LIKE THIS?! YOU'RE SO IMMATURE! GET OUT NOW!!" Lily screamed at them. James ran out of the room as did Sirius. The girls in the dormitories started laughing hysterically.
"Guys it isn't funny."
"Yes it is Lily. Now you both have seen each other naked or close to it. C'mon, Lily, it was funny," Alice said. Lily gave them a skeptical look. Gwen smiled at her and she started to laugh.
"Yeah it was pretty funny. Oh My God! I only have 20 minutes to get ready! Help ME!!" The girls gasped and hurried to help Lily into her costume.
A/N: So, what do you think? I'm soooo sorry for not posting. I've been really busy with school and track. I've also been very tired. Tell me what you think of this story. I love to read reviews.
