Chapter 3: Some girls were born for greatness. others got stuck with James

Last chapter ending: 'Yeah.I knew that's how you'd feel, but on the other hand.' 'Yes Bella?' 'Well, we.err. DAMN! I forgot!' cried Arabella angrily. 'That's ok. Hey, you wanna help me come up with a prank to play on James?'

Lily and Arabella walked around the grounds together, trying to come up with a decent prank to play on him, whilst he was least expecting it.

'Ooh! I got it! Let's put a hex on him that whenever he looks in a mirror, he sees himself as a fantabulous stud, but on the outside, he looks like a hag.or better yet, a SLYTHERIN!' exclaimed Bella happily.

'YEAH! That's a brilliant idea!' exclaimed Lily happily, 'I don't know what I'd do Without you, Bella!' 'I know.' Arabella smiled with false modesty.

In the intervening time, James walked up to the new girl in the entrance hall.

'Hey, I'm James Potter, Welcome to Hogwarts!' He put on one of his famous lop Sided grins. 'Huh? What are you talking about?! I've been at Hogwarts for the past 4 years!' Exclaimed the girl James walked up to. 'Huh, oh right, sorry, I was just practicing for when I got up to that girl over there who IS new.' James muttered quickly, before running off, to the ACTUAL new girl.

'Hi. I haven't seen you around before! Hi, I'm James Potter, Welcome to Hogwarts!' James said with a grin. The 'new girl' turned toward him. 'OMG! You're James Potter!!! I've had the BIGGEST crush on you Since.well.ever! Oh! It's such an honour to finally meet you!' The 'new girl' cried Happily.

'Well, seeing that you know my name, may I please know yours?' Said James, seductively. 'Oh.sure, my name is Stephanie, Stephanie Killate, and I just transferred here from Beuxbaton. Oh WOW! I can't wait to tell my friends that I talked with THE James POTTER!!!!' Stephanie gasped happily. James grinned; this girl was his for the taking. 'So, have you got a boyfriend?' asked James. 'Umm.no.why?' 'Just wondering.' and with that, James snatched a quick kiss, and ran up the entrance stairs. As he reached the top, he turned back to Stephanie, and yelled, 'I'm in Gryffindor.see you round!' Stephanie stood there, looking as if Christmas had come early for her. She touched her lips in disbelief.

Lily and Arabella were still walking around the Quidditch grounds when the sun was getting ready to set. 'We'd better go up now, otherwise we might miss DINNER!' exclaimed Arabella with a sarcastic note in her voice.

'My God! Is that all you think about?! Food?!' Lily exclaimed with a mocking tone in her voice. Arabella whined. 'Liíiiiiiiiilyyyy! Pwease?' 'Oh, alright.but NEVER use the puppy face again?! Alright?' 'YAY!!!! Let's go!'

With that, the two of the raced up to the castle, and into the dining hall, where, unfortunately, the Marauders were already seated. 'Dear god NO!' Lily thought to herself, 'Anyone but THEM!' 'Hey Lilz! Hows it hanging?' Asked James happily. 'Hey James, where's your brain,' Lily snapped back angrily. Sirius then went on to sing, 'Love is in the air,' much to the displeasure of most of the Gryffindor table. He was greeted with a few rotted tomatoes (A/N Don't ask me WHERE they got them!) and boos from the crowd. 'Sirius, it there's ANYTHING in the air right now, it's the pungent smell of James' FEET!' exclaimed Lily sarcastically. 'HEY! I take offence in that!' James cried out. At that precise moment, Stephanie ran into the Great Hall and over to James. 'James! James! I got into Gryffindor!!' she exclaimed as she plonked down onto his lap. James took her into a long kiss. much to Lily's disapproval. When they pulled apart, James smiled at her, and said, 'That's just great honey,' Lily, who was sitting next to the two, was gagging, and pretending to throw up. 'If you don't like it, then you could just move,' Stephanie snapped angrily. 'Nah, I like it here.plus, I WAS here first,' Lily replied sarcastically. James grinned. 'Lily was cute when she was all sarcastic like that.WHOA WAIT! Where did THAT come from?! This is My mortal Enemy, my biggest foe! How can I think she's CUTE?!' James thought to himself, but then the little nagging voice in his mind came up to talk, 'You've ALWAYS though that Lily was cute. you just never did anything about it! ARGH! SHUT UP!'

Stephanie got up off James' lap and sat next to him on the table (A/N on the seat lol) and she snuggled close to him. Arabella gave Lily a sickened look, then went back to eating. Just then, Lily's other 2 best friends, Becka and Frances, ran into the hall. 'Lilz! Come quickly! There are some Slytherins that are hurt really badly!' Becka exclaimed quickly. Lily jumped up, and quickly turned to the Marauders. 'If I find out that you did this.' Lily threatened, shaking her fist at the, before running off with her friends. 'Oh no! what are we gonna do?!' Sirius cried uneasily. 'Chill! There's no Way she can find out that it was us.right?'

Lily , Frances and Becka ran down the corridors, until they eventually reached the place where 2 slytherins were lying, with bruises on their arms and legs. 'Quickly! Let's get them to the Hospital wing!' Frances shouted quickly. The three girls levitated the boys up, and took them up to see Madame Pomfrey.

'Goodness! What on earth happened?' Madame Pomfrey said as she fussed about the Hospital wing, gathering everything she needed to cure them. 'Well.we THINK the Marauders, but so far there's no hard evidence.' mumbled Lily. 'Well, these two are very lucky that such a caring prefect like you came along Ms. Evans! I'll talk to the Headmaster about this, and we'll see if he'll give you a special services award,' 'Oh.no really, Becka and Frances found them, they should get the award.' Lily muttered sheepishly.

'Well, Honorary prefect-ships are in order, I think.No off to dinner, No doubt that you 3 are hungry!' Madame Pomfrey said. The three girls nodded, the rushed out, and down to the Great Hall. Madame Pomfrey was right. Saving people sure made you hungry!

When they arrived back at the hall, James and Stephanie were exploring each other's tonsils, and Arabella was looking like she was going to be sick. She jumped up at the sight of her 3 best friends, and smiled.

'Thank God you three are here! One more moment with these two, and dinner would be back, for the second time round!' Arabella rambled.

Lily smiled, and she, Becka and Frances sat down at the table, and began gossiping and eating.

Soon, dinner was finished, and the 4 girls were walking up to their dormitory, until Lily realised something.

'Bella, how come Stephanie came running into the hall and said she was in Gryffindor, but you already knew that?' Lily asked. 'Well. she was lying to James. She already had been sorted, but he didn't know that, so she took that opportunity to snag him.' Bella muttered.

'Right. I really don't like her.'
