have any ideas for future pranks, etc. tell me.
Chapter Three
Malfoy and Snape were already in the Great Hall when Sirius woke James.
"PROOOOOOOOONGSIIIIIIIII?" shouted Sirius.
"Hm—what Lily?" James murmured.
"Oh, James," Sirius said in a high-pitched voice. "I love you! I've realized that you're not self-centered at all! You're such a good student, never break the rules, and you're such a handsome-devil!"
"I kno—SIRIUS! Stop making fun of me. Just let me sleep in peace!"
"And dream about you're beloved, Lily?"
"Yes!"
"It's time for breakfast, Prongs," Lupin informed James.
"FOOD!" James chirped, "What are we waiting for?!"
Sirius, Lupin, James, and Peter went down to breakfast and sat down at the Griffindor table with Lily and her friend. When Lily saw James take the seat beside her, she glared at him and continued to chat with her friend, Alice.
"He's so annoying! I can't stand that James. He thinks he so special and wonderful, but he's just a big, stupid nark!" Lily whispered fiercely to Alice.
"Hey, Lily!" chimed James.
"Go away, James," Lily said coldly.
"Go out with me and I will."
"I'd sooner go out with Lucius Malfoy than you!" spat Lily.
"You don't say," said a voice from behind her.
"Oh, it's you," snapped James. "Don't you have to go and fix your wig, Lucius?"
"Shut up, Potter," Lily and Malfoy said concurrently.
Malfoy continued, "Why don't you leave the poor girl alone? You're constantly drooling over her, following her around, and making her life miserable. Just give her some space, will you?"
"Thank Y—," began Lily.
"You're so full of it, you git!"
"I'm just saying that you should give Lily some space. She obviously doesn't like you—in the least."
"That's so considerate, Lucius," Lily said earnestly as James rolled his eyes.
"Besides," Malfoy continued, "Lily has much more sense; she would never date someone so conceited. All you do is go and curse people in the halls, not thinking for a second about how much that could hurt someone."
After that comment, James couldn't take it anymore. He got up shouted a stream of enraged gibberish at Malfoy, and then he stormed off, quickly followed my Remus and Sirius (Peter was too busy eating his wait in bacon, to take any notice of what had just happened). (Author's Note: I love slamming Peter, it's so much fun! Moving on...) "That stupid, git!" fumed James. "What kind of moron does he think would fall for those soppy lines?"
"Let's curse him!" Sirius beamed.
"Be reasonable," Remus said hopelessly.
"I am being reasonable! Cursing him is the most logic thing to do."
"Let's make him get a pimple every time he tries to talk to Lily!" James exclaimed. Remus attempted to keep a straight face, and Sirius exploded with laughter until he was cut-off because Peter suddenly started talking.
"Are you ready to go back up to the room?" Peter asked, cluelessly.
"Yeah!" exclaimed James. "We can go to the common room and tie them all up...and then we can torture them...with lots of pranks...and potions...hehehe..."
"Prongs, calm down."
"Yeah, Prongsy," Sirius began. "Just because your mortal enemy is sharing a common room with you, the girl of you dreams hates your guts, and now your enemy has decided he fancies the girl your in love with, doesn't mean your life is completely over." James started whimpering and Lupin broke the awkward situation by telling Sirius to shut his mouth and Peter to get a glass of water for James and meet them back up in the common room.
James began to twitch and thrash around violently. Lupin attempted to calm him down, Sirius grabbed him by the arms, and they attempted to haul him towards the common room. They stopped abruptly when their destination was in sight, because they saw Lucius in front of the door, with Lily by his side. "It was wonderful talking to you, Lily." "The pleasure was mine! I don't know how you managed to get James off my back, but you did. I am forever in your debt," Lily said, curtseying. She smiled warmly and put her hand on his shoulder.
Meanwhile, James's eyes were bugging out of his head, and it was taking every ounce will power from Sirius, Lupin, and himself to keep Lucius from being attacked. Lily said goodbye to Lucius and went back to her own common room. Malfoy, quite pleased with himself, walked over to James and made sure to inform him that Lily was a sweet person once you get to know her, for a Mudblood, that is. Lupin and Sirius had a very hard time keeping James still after that remark, but once Lucius disappeared into the common room, the struggle was over.
One Week Later
A/N: Sorry for the jump, but when I wrote the week, it was horribly boring and retarded...so enjoy the good part of the chapter...
"Oh Merlin..." Lupin gasped as Peter informed him of the news. "What is it?!" snarled James.
"Er...James?" Peter said squeamishly. "I just found out some bad news..."
"Spit it out, Wormtail!" Sirius growled.
"Er—I just overheard—er—Malfoy and Lily talking—and er—well..."
"Just get it over with, Peter," Lupin said morbidly.
"Thregoinhogsmeadegethr," Peter mumbled quickly. "What?" asked Sirius. "Thregointohogsmeadegethr." "Huh?" "They—are—going—to—Hogs—meade—togeth—er." Lupin explained rather slowly.
"THEY'RE WHAT?!" screamed James, obviously horrified at the mere thought. "James. James Potter, listen to me," Remus crooned. "You need to get a hold of yourself. It is only one date. It doesn't mean anything."
"One date that I'm not going on with Lily! One date that Lily couldn't bear to go on with me! One date that will cost Lucius his life!!!" James finished with a scream.
"Whoa there, tiger!" Sirius said lightly. "Correction—deer-boy—well anyway. There's no need to snipe. Lily and Malfoy are going to go on that date regardless if it kills you...actually, they'll definitely go on the date if it kills you..."
"Not helping, Padfoot," reprimanded Lupin. "Look, James, if you can handle this calmly and not—I repeat not—kill Lucius, Lily might go out with you. Of course, you'll have to act like a gentleman. Which means, you cannot hex people—including the Slytherins."
"They're not people!" Sirius barked defiantly.
"They're people to Lucius, meaning they're people to Lily," Lupin explained firmly.
"If you can get Lily to date me, I'll do anything, Moony."
The Night Before Hogsmeade...
"Alice, Molly, do you think I should wear my red or purple robes tomorrow?" asked Lily.
"Red," responded Alice.
"Purple," stated Molly.
"Stalemate," grumbled Lily. "I think I'll just wear this blue one."
"You should put your hair in a bun," remarked Alice.
"Why are you going to Hogsmeade with Lucius?" interrogated Molly. "I thought you hated him almost as much as James."
"Well, I did, but he's been so sweet lately. What's the harm in going on a date with a nice guy?"
"Since when is Lucius, a nice guy? Don't tell me you've fallen for that dribble!" scolded Molly as she clicked her tongue reprovingly.
"Even Frank could see through that skimpy disguise!" Alice added disdainfully.
"I'm not thick! I know he's being insincere, but as long as he's being nice, I might as well enjoy it. Besides," she added with a wink, "after all of that time as a Quidditch beater, he's developed quite a fit body."
A/N: Party! I'm finally done with my 3rd chapter. Next Chapter: Will Prongs be able to control his temper? Will Lucius win Lily's heart?
Future Events: Halloween Dance...and there is going to be a disguise spell placed on all of the attendee's, so nobody will recognize each other. Who will be Lily's date?
