A while into the train ride snape, Malfoy and crew came in.
"Oh look at the griffies they're so pathetic. I can't believe you hang out with a mudblood potter how low can you get?" Malfoy asked all the guys jumped up
"Oh Malfoy I didn't know you cared" lily said "do you still have that dress you borrowed I would like to have it back if you don't mind" everyone looked at him "wait, on the other hand it looked so nice on you, you can keep it." He started shaking from furry. "You looked so in it I'll give you another and you can trade with your friends and have a slumber party, and paint each others nails. I'm sure you will have lots of fun. Maybe even dye your hair back?" lily grinned. She had been reaching in her bag.
"You wouldn't" he paled
"Whatch me." Lily smiled and threw the capsules the compartment was covered with smoke and sparks. When the compartment cleared Malfoy, snape and crew were permanently scared for life. Malfoy had on a pink tutu with pink curls, his nose was turned into a hand and bubbles were coming out of his mouth. Snape had bubbles in his purple hair, was wrapped in a short bathroom robe, skin green and a fish hitting him over the head. The rest of the group were similarly tortured. Lily, Sydney and the Mauraders had to do the job. "Oups I guess I dropped to many. How's the soap taste? I figured you needed to have it washed out." Lily smiled, Malfoy stormed out of the compartment laughter erupting behind him. Then lily and Sydney gave snape an apologetic glance.
"You know I don't know who Malfoy hates more." Sirius paused "us" he indicated the Mauraders "or you two" he pointed at lily and Sydney.
"I don't see why you let him talk to you like that" James said to lily
"My dear boy you have to realize I don't get mad" lily said and he looked at her crazily "I get even." And she grinned
"You should just give him a good beat down and he would watch it" James told her
"That wouldn't do anything except give him a few burses. Public humiliation is what I prefer." Lily said
"You sure have changed from the quiet girl I use to know" Chad grinned at her
Lily looked at him "you know I was never quiet or shy and I haven't changed only grown."
"Well what ever you call it I like it" Chad laughed at her face.
They finally arrived at Hogwarts and rode the horseless carriages to the castle. On walking in the Great hall they saw a group of Slytherin's that were very colorful. Malfoy and snape had changed into clothes that were more appropriate for the occasion but unable to turn themselves back.
The sorting took place like normal. The scared first ears came into the hall and one by one put on the sorting hat. After all were at a table Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts. I just have a few beginning of term announcements. The forbidden forest is so called because it is dangerous and it is not wise nor permitted for students to travel into it." His eyes wandered to he Mauraders. "Also to all second years and above Quidditch tryouts will be held in two weeks time. I hope you all do well. There have been few new rules put into place this year. First off no magic in the halls between classes." His eyes sparkled with merriment. "Dung bombs have been added to the list of items forbidden on the school grounds. You may view the other forbidden items on the wall of Miss Kleans office. That is all you may now eat." The students dug in.
"you know I didn't know the sorting hat sang a different song every year"" Sirius said
"what else would it do all year just sit on a shelf and wait for the next year?" lily asked
"a normal hat would" James said
"but you know the sorting hat is anything but normal just like this whole castle." Sydney put in
"I see how it is gang up on me again like always" James joked
"so what are we going to do about Quidditch tryouts this year?" Remus asked changing the subject
"I am trying out for chaser" James said proudly
"no way beater is the way to go" Sirius said and high-fived Sydney
"I don't know what I should tryout for" lily said
"tryout for whatever you like then let the team decide" an older student had walked up "hi my names Marcus. I'm the captain for Gryffindor. I see you want to try out for the team. Do you think you have what it takes to be on the Gryffindor Quidditch team?" he asked
"I guess you will have to tell us" lily smiled
"I guess so" Marcus said
After he walked off Sydney asked Remus "what are you trying out for?"
"I am not trying out I would miss to many games and practices" he said sadly
they were all quite for a minute. Sirius broke the silence "so what should we do for a beginning of term gift for snape and Malfoy?" he asked mischievously.
This brought the group back to life. "Well we could turn their behavior into that of island natives and have them grunt and try to burn each other at the stick?" James suggested. Everyone was laughing at the idea.
"No do that at the end of the year we need something more subtle after the train." Lily said
"hey I think I heard that they were both trying out for the Quidditch team" Sydney said
everyone was surprised "can they fly?" peter asked
"you don't remember our flying class last year?" Sirius asked
"no" peter said
"well snape had to be almost glued to his broom. Apparently he must have practiced over the summer. Malfoy tried but was not the best flyer he didn't grip the broom right and kept almost falling off his broom." Remus explained
"oh now I remember" peter said but they cold tell he didn't "so do you think they will make it?"
"no not unless the little weasel has his daddy buy his way onto the team" Sirius spat out
dinner was over and everyone was exiting the great hall. "Did you hear what the password is?" lily asked.
"No let's go ask veronica quick" Sydney waved her sister over and they talked for a moment. When she came back she was surprised.
"So what is it?" James asked
"its Parthenon" Sydney shook her head.
"I wonder if that means something interesting will happen this year?" lily asked
"hopefully" Sirius grinned "just bring it"
"Sirius you are hopeless" they laughed at him
"I am not" he tried to act offended
"Don't even try we know you to well for that to work" Remus told him
"Well I never" Sirius replied
"Come on were the last ones here. I think we need to get to the common room" Peter said scared
"You think he would not be afraid of getting caught doing something he shouldn't after all the times we got caught last year" Sirius mused
"Well we wouldn't have gotten caught doing half the tuff we did if you didn't want to break the record for most detentions in the school history by the time you graduate" James told him
"What's wrong with having a dream to be the best?" Sirius asked
"The best at getting caught?" Sydney asked
"No the best at pranks I just take credit for what I do. Its not my fault the teachers don't recognize my brilliance and think giving people unexpected surprises to spice up their day is bad" Sirius said
"Whatever" lily shook her head "your hopeless. Lets go not all of us have the same dream as you and don't want to have to clean the dungeons by hand without magic."
"That wasn't fun but I did find out some interesting information if you remember correctly" Sirius pointed out
"Yea that professor McGonagall had a secret crush on professor clip" Sydney recalled
"Right and after I found out that secret information I just had to tell everyone else it was my duty as gossip king to spread gossip even better if it is true." Sirius explained
"That's why she was so mad at you it though it was for turning peter into a button in class and not being able to turn him back" James exclaimed
"Duh" lily said and ducked a punch
"Do you three have to terrorize every teacher here and see how many you can get to quit before you graduate?" Sydney asked
"No but that's a good idea maybe we should try" Sirius pondered
"I will draw the line there the bad ones if you do anything and try to leave McGonagall alone she's not that bad. You scared her to death the first class last year on her first day as a teacher how bad can you get?" lily said
"But." Sirius started
"No!" Sydney said with a note of finality
"Fine party popper but can I turn her hair into jello?" Sirius asked
"No!" lily and Sydney yelled at the same time
"Meanies" Sirius mumbled
They finally arrived in the common room and got settled in some arm chairs.
"So when are we going to start the potion?" lily asked
"Well we have all he ingredients we just have to find a place to put it and a big enough cauldron" James answered
"We can use the room behind the portrait of Billy the two headed buffoon." Sydney suggested "and lily and I picked up a cauldron big enough when we were at Diagon alley.
"Good let's start tomorrow night" Sirius picked "it will take a while to get all the ingredients there and we will have to use the invisibility cloak."
"Me and Sydney can make adjustments to the room to have the cauldron and ingredients in secret cupboards" lily added
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Remus asked
"Yes" they all said "and you wont change our mind" Remus held his hands up in defeat.
"Lets go to bed that we wont be to tired tomorrow" Sydney suggested.
They all got up and went to their dorms. "I wonder how everyone is fitting in our room" lily said
"Even worse 6 girls using one bathroom" they both laughed
"Hello all, miss us?" lily asked as she bounced in the room.
Everyone gave each other hugs and started talking at the same time catching up on what happened over the summer and what happened.
"So what should we do for the guys this year? Last year they got multi color hair what this time?" lily asked
"Well we could give this polka dotted clothes" flair said
"No we need something bigger" Stormie told her
"How about they do the waltz instead of walking and they have polka dotted clothes and purple skin?" Sydney asked
"That's pretty good" and they stated planning how they were going to carry it out and what they would do.
The next morning the boys woke up to having their beds jumped on
"Rise and shine" lily smiled at James
"Go away" he tried to push her off the bed
"Nope get up it's a beautiful day" lily pulled the covers off him. James had on pajamas that were broom sticks with penguins on them. "Love the pj's "lily laughed
"My mom got them for me thank you and she doesn't see they are really girly." James tried to protest. And pulled the covers back up
"Sure what ever you say but get up" lily pulled the covers back off the bed completely.
"Fine" and he huffed into the bathroom.
"Get away!" Sirius was yelling at Stormie who was chasing him with a bucket of water.
Stormie cackled evilly "why dreary a little water never hurt anyone."
"James open up that door now!" Sirius, Remus and Chad all ran to the door and started banging. James opened the door and shut it quickly Peter barley made it in before the door shut.
The girls made a huddle. "Ok so they are in the bathroom now we cant let them out until we are done. Stormie you stand by the door with the water and if they open the door splash them. Everyone else you know what to do move out." Lily said
The girls quickly changed all the guys' wardrobe to hold polka dotted clothes. The next phase of the plan was to sneak charm the guys when they came down to the common room. Sydney and lily had this job while the other girls distracted them.
"Why do I feel the girls are up to something?" James asked as the 6 guys were huddled I the bathroom
"Probably because they are" Sirius answered him
"I think they left we can go out now" they walked out but Stormie got board so propped a bucket of water above the door and as they walked out they were soaked. You could hear the girls being cursed if you listened close enough.
The 2nd year Gryffindor Mauraders finally made it to the common room about ready to kill the girls not only were they late because they had been soaked but they had purple, blue and pink polka dotted clothes.
"What happened to your clothes?" a first year asked James glared at her and she scurried away.
"James be nice" lily told him he glared at her also. "Fine be that way"
The guys were slowly changing skin color. Sydney and lily were having a field day making their skin a variety of clothes not just what they had agreed to.
"Lets go" Sirius growled
"Don't be so touchy" flair told him
The girls stood up and the guys followed. Going to the great hall was a little slower that normal because the guys kept varying course dancing. They didn't realize they were doing it though so it was ok. When they finally made it to the great hall the guys made a grand entrance waltzing to their seats. Everyone laughed the first years were confused and he girls took a bow.
"What did you do besides the clothes?" James asked as they sat down he hadn't looked at his friends yet but closed his eyes not wanting to look.
"Nothing" lily and Sydney said angelically
He opened them and his mouth dropped to the ground. "wha. you did what!" he yelled
"That's not all" lily smirked
Some older students had to explain to the first years about the pranks and not to get on their bad side. They were all looking amused
"Lily Marie Evans! Do you have some kind of death wish?" James asked
"No but I find annoying you quite entertaining" she replied
"Annoying me you made me PURPLE! That goes past annoying that's ." James trailed off at loss for words
"Exactly what you would do" lily filled in
"Right exactly something I would do." The great hall laughed "wait that's not what I meant to say. I would never do something like this." Lily looked at him "ok well maybe but not to you."
"You tried to superglue me to a chair once!" she yelled at him
"Well ya but I didn't change your skin color" James made up
"You would have if you could have" she said
"So?"
"What I did is fine and you know it you are just being a stubborn buffoon!" she told him
"Wow lils breaking out the big insult" Sirius laughed
"Ya you know it" lily laughed at what she just said
James was steaming. Lily poured water over his head. "That's the second time today!" he yelled
"You needed to cool down" lily smiled and started eating. James opened his mouth to say something but she jammed a fruit in it. "Shut up" and continued eating.
James finally calmed down to have an intelligent conversation but had fun scaring a few first years who were looking at him. When they made it to their class McGonagall was laughing at James. Ha was given tentacles because lily was in a bad mood with him. In turn he created a black cloud over her head and she had rain falling on her all day.
"You two are so juvenal" Sirius said
"This comes from the guy who is amused by a ball for hours on end" lily replied
"So at least I am not continuously wet" Sirius poked her
"I'm wet and not in a good mood and you are annoying me say goodbye to your nose" and lily made it disappear. Sirius in turn ran around the room for 10 minutes waving his arms yelling. When he stopped he started chasing lily and throwing jinxes are her. Needless to say he missed hitting other students who were laughing rolling around on the ground. Needless to say they got nothing done in transfiguration that day. They were still chasing each other when class ended and lily grabbed her books and ran through the corridors dodging students and curses.
Lily and Sirius ran all the way to their next class. In the halls they left a trail of people hit with jinxes that were not too pleasant. Lily managed to escape all the jinxes and make it to her next class in one piece. She finally got fed up with Sirius and put the full body bind on him. When professor Flickwick walked into the charms class room he awarded lily for her perfect use of the full body bind but told her to take it off Sirius. Only later did he realize his mistake. "Miss Evans will you please unfreeze Mr. black now?" Flickwick told her. "Um sir I don't think that's a good idea." Sydney interjected. "Miss Potter please be quite. Miss Evans please take that the charm off Mr. black now." Flickwick ordered in his high-pitched voice. "Ok sir if you say so" lily took it off from across the room and then hid behind James. Sirius jumped up and started chasing lily again. "Students please take your seat." Flickwick squealed. No one paid attention to him they were hiding under their desks dodging unwanted jinxes. Finally Flickwick got mad and froze Sirius. "What is going on here?" he said shrilly "Well you see Sirius was making fun of lily and poking her and reminding her about he cloud above her head so she charmed his nose off his face and then he started chasing her and has been since." James explained with a smirk on his face. Flickwick looked at lily "miss Evans please return Mr. blacks nose to his face." Flickwick ordered "I'm sorry sir I put a time limit on it and it wont return until 5 tonight." lily said sheepishly. "Well done miss Evans" Sirius growled "what I mean to say was that was very wrong but I will have to award gryffindor 10 points for the perfect use of the banishing spell." Sirius growled again "but I must say it was wrong for you to do it but now we have class and Mr. black please refrain from chasing miss Evans because you will not get your nose back from it." Flickwick then proceeded to teach the class about banishing spells and how they worked though none of the class besides lily had any idea what he was saying.
The bell to end the class finally rung and they spilled out of the class into the hall. On the way to lunch Sirius had gotten over the loss of his nose and loved the attention he was getting from people asking him what it was like with out a nose. Sirius made a mental note not to make lily to mad that she banished another part of his body. "So lily when do you feel like giving me my nose back?" he asked "I told you that it wont come back until 5 tonight." lily answered "I'm not that daft when will you give it back to me?" he asked "When I feel like it. Now drop it or you will lose another body part that would be a great loss in the future." she smiled and the guys at the table around them cringed. "So what class do we have next?" Sydney asked "Potions with clip" Remus read off the schedule "Why oh why me?" peter muttered everyone knew he was horrible at that class and was scared of the teacher. "Guess what?" James said bouncing in his chair "What?" they all asked "13 day and 6 hours until quidditch tryouts?" he said happily "Oh how could we forget you have only told us that once." lily trailed off "Every second." Sydney said "For the past day" Stormie ended "Well aren't you excited?" Sirius asked confused "Yes I am excited but I know how to hold my excitement down so as not to annoy the other living beans on this earth." Lily told him "But we get to tryout for the house team!" James said excitedly "Yes we do but you can wait I hope because otherwise I think you will explode." Sydney laughed "I don't know this is pretty mellow for James and Sirius" Remus mused "To true Remmie. So are to going to ask and see if you can be the commentator?" Stormie asked him "I don't know if I will be any good" Remus said "You will be fine" lily told him "Ya I mean you know everything about quidditch and come on you would be so much better than Sirius and James they would jump out of the stands and start swearing at the players or something." Sydney acted out what she was saying "We would not" James and Sirius said indigently "Ya but McGonnagle would have to stop you 10 seconds into the game for bias comments" lily said "Ya remember that guy last year who got detention for his over biased and inappropriate comments?" Sydney asked they all laughed they remember the game when Ravenclaw was playing Slytherin and Slytherin was losing and the Slytherin announcer got a little out of hand and started hexing the Ravenclaw players in the air.
A while into the train ride snape, Malfoy and crew came in.
"Oh look at the griffies they're so pathetic. I can't believe you hang out with a mudblood potter how low can you get?" Malfoy asked all the guys jumped up
"Oh Malfoy I didn't know you cared" lily said "do you still have that dress you borrowed I would like to have it back if you don't mind" everyone looked at him "wait, on the other hand it looked so nice on you, you can keep it." He started shaking from furry. "You looked so in it I'll give you another and you can trade with your friends and have a slumber party, and paint each others nails. I'm sure you will have lots of fun. Maybe even dye your hair back?" lily grinned. She had been reaching in her bag.
"You wouldn't" he paled
"Whatch me." Lily smiled and threw the capsules the compartment was covered with smoke and sparks. When the compartment cleared Malfoy, snape and crew were permanently scared for life. Malfoy had on a pink tutu with pink curls, his nose was turned into a hand and bubbles were coming out of his mouth. Snape had bubbles in his purple hair, was wrapped in a short bathroom robe, skin green and a fish hitting him over the head. The rest of the group were similarly tortured. Lily, Sydney and the Mauraders had to do the job. "Oups I guess I dropped to many. How's the soap taste? I figured you needed to have it washed out." Lily smiled, Malfoy stormed out of the compartment laughter erupting behind him. Then lily and Sydney gave snape an apologetic glance.
"You know I don't know who Malfoy hates more." Sirius paused "us" he indicated the Mauraders "or you two" he pointed at lily and Sydney.
"I don't see why you let him talk to you like that" James said to lily
"My dear boy you have to realize I don't get mad" lily said and he looked at her crazily "I get even." And she grinned
"You should just give him a good beat down and he would watch it" James told her
"That wouldn't do anything except give him a few burses. Public humiliation is what I prefer." Lily said
"You sure have changed from the quiet girl I use to know" Chad grinned at her
Lily looked at him "you know I was never quiet or shy and I haven't changed only grown."
"Well what ever you call it I like it" Chad laughed at her face.
They finally arrived at Hogwarts and rode the horseless carriages to the castle. On walking in the Great hall they saw a group of Slytherin's that were very colorful. Malfoy and snape had changed into clothes that were more appropriate for the occasion but unable to turn themselves back.
The sorting took place like normal. The scared first ears came into the hall and one by one put on the sorting hat. After all were at a table Dumbledore stood up.

"Sure what ever you say but get up" lily pulled the covers back off the bed completely.
"Fine" and he huffed into the bathroom.

"No but I find annoying you quite entertaining" she replied
"Annoying me you made me PURPLE! That goes past annoying that's ." James trailed off at loss for words
"Exactly what you would do" lily filled in
"Right exactly something I would do." The great hall laughed "wait that's not what I meant to say. I would never do something like this." Lily looked at him "ok well maybe but not to you."
"You tried to superglue me to a chair once!" she yelled at him
"Well ya but I didn't change your skin color" James made up
"You would have if you could have" she said
"So?"
"What I did is fine and you know it you are just being a stubborn buffoon!" she told him
"Wow lils breaking out the big insult" Sirius laughed
"Ya you know it" lily laughed at what she just said
James was steaming. Lily poured water over his head. "That's the second time today!" he yelled
"You needed to cool down" lily smiled and started eating. James opened his mouth to say something but she jammed a fruit in it. "Shut up" and continued eating.
James finally calmed down to have an intelligent conversation but had fun scaring a few first years who were looking at him. When they made it to their class McGonagall was laughing at James. Ha was given tentacles because lily was in a bad mood with him. In turn he created a black cloud over her head and she had rain falling on her all day.
"You two are so juvenal" Sirius said
"This comes from the guy who is amused by a ball for hours on end" lily replied
"So at least I am not continuously wet" Sirius poked her
"I'm wet and not in a good mood and you are annoying me say goodbye to your nose" and lily made it disappear. Sirius in turn ran around the room for 10 minutes waving his arms yelling. When he stopped he started chasing lily and throwing jinxes are her. Needless to say he missed hitting other students who were laughing rolling around on the ground. Needless to say they got nothing done in transfiguration that day. They were still chasing each other when class ended and lily grabbed her books and ran through the corridors dodging students and curses.
Lily and Sirius ran all the way to their next class. In the halls they left a trail of people hit with jinxes that were not too pleasant. Lily managed to escape all the jinxes and make it to her next class in one piece. She finally got fed up with Sirius and put the full body bind on him. When professor Flickwick walked into the charms class room he awarded lily for her perfect use of the full body bind but told her to take it off Sirius. Only later did he realize his mistake. "Miss Evans will you please unfreeze Mr. black now?" Flickwick told her. "Um sir I don't think that's a good idea." Sydney interjected. "Miss Potter please be quite. Miss Evans please take that the charm off Mr. black now." Flickwick ordered in his high-pitched voice. "Ok sir if you say so" lily took it off from across the room and then hid behind James. Sirius jumped up and started chasing lily again. "Students please take your seat." Flickwick squealed. No one paid attention to him they were hiding under their desks dodging unwanted jinxes. Finally Flickwick got mad and froze Sirius. "What is going on here?" he said shrilly "Well you see Sirius was making fun of lily and poking her and reminding her about he cloud above her head so she charmed his nose off his face and then he started chasing her and has been since." James explained with a smirk on his face. Flickwick looked at lily "miss Evans please return Mr. blacks nose to his face." Flickwick ordered "I'm sorry sir I put a time limit on it and it wont return until 5 tonight." lily said sheepishly. "Well done miss Evans" Sirius growled "what I mean to say was that was very wrong but I will have to award gryffindor 10 points for the perfect use of the banishing spell." Sirius growled again "but I must say it was wrong for you to do it but now we have class and Mr. black please refrain from chasing miss Evans because you will not get your nose back from it." Flickwick then proceeded to teach the class about banishing spells and how they worked though none of the class besides lily had any idea what he was saying.
The bell to end the class finally rung and they spilled out of the class into the hall. On the way to lunch Sirius had gotten over the loss of his nose and loved the attention he was getting from people asking him what it was like with out a nose. Sirius made a mental note not to make lily to mad that she banished another part of his body. "So lily when do you feel like giving me my nose back?" he asked "I told you that it wont come back until 5 tonight." lily answered "I'm not that daft when will you give it back to me?" he asked "When I feel like it. Now drop it or you will lose another body part that would be a great loss in the future." she smiled and the guys at the table around them cringed. "So what class do we have next?" Sydney asked "Potions with clip" Remus read off the schedule "Why oh why me?" peter muttered everyone knew he was horrible at that class and was scared of the teacher. "Guess what?" James said bouncing in his chair "What?" they all asked "13 day and 6 hours until quidditch tryouts?" he said happily "Oh how could we forget you have only told us that once." lily trailed off "Every second." Sydney said "For the past day" Stormie ended "Well aren't you excited?" Sirius asked confused "Yes I am excited but I know how to hold my excitement down so as not to annoy the other living beans on this earth." Lily told him "But we get to tryout for the house team!" James said excitedly "Yes we do but you can wait I hope because otherwise I think you will explode." Sydney laughed "I don't know this is pretty mellow for James and Sirius" Remus mused "To true Remmie. So are to going to ask and see if you can be the commentator?" Stormie asked him "I don't know if I will be any good" Remus said "You will be fine" lily told him "Ya I mean you know everything about quidditch and come on you would be so much better than Sirius and James they would jump out of the stands and start swearing at the players or something." Sydney acted out what she was saying "We would not" James and Sirius said indigently "Ya but McGonnagle would have to stop you 10 seconds into the game for bias comments" lily said "Ya remember that guy last year who got detention for his over biased and inappropriate comments?" Sydney asked they all laughed they remember the game when Ravenclaw was playing Slytherin and Slytherin was losing and the Slytherin announcer got a little out of hand and started hexing the Ravenclaw players in the air.
