Lily sat on her bed. It was past midnight and she couldn't sleep. She had
felt great all day but now something didn't feel right. She new very well
that James was planning something to get back at her. But what? After what
she did to him, whatever he does must be horrid.
"Lily? Can't you sleep either?" Emily whispered from her bed.
"No....." Lily crawled to the foot of her bed and lay down on her stomach to face Em. "I'm trying to plan our next move."
"Any ideas?"
"Not a one." Lily shook her head.
"Well we're going to have to think fast. Potter is bound to do something really bad....."
Meanwhile James was lying back in bed. His bed has been rid of the itching curse, but he now had other things on his mind. It was hard to sleep when he knew he was going to get back at that girl if it was the last thing he did. Plus Sirius's snoring would wake dead! With that thought he got up and went straight to his best mate's bed. He literally jumped in to wake him. "Oy! Padfoot!" He whispered when his friend refused to move.
"Oh shut up, Sniveless.....can't you see I'm trying to...." Then Sirius's snoring continued. James had heard enough he took his mate's shoulders and shook him awake.
"Ah! Hey! What the....." Sirius sat up. "Aw.....and I was having a good dream......"
"Believe me!" James interrupted "I DON'T want to know!" he sat back on his heals "Honestly I don't know how you can sleep."
"Oh it's so easy, I lie down on my comfy pillows, pull up my cozy covers, close my eyes...."
"Oh shut up! You KNOW what I meant."
"Alright, alright. Evans, right?"
"Yeah....."
Sirius shook his head "You're hopelessly smitten."
James through a pillow at him "Am not!"
"Hey you were willing to hex Sniveless unless she went out with you! Can you say "Desperate"? There are easier ways to get a date, mate"
"It's not about that anymore, Padfoot. This is about justice. We have to get back at them."
"I believe that's what THEY were doing......" Remus popped in and joined them.
"Can't sleep either, Moony?" James asked.
"Who could sleep with your yakking?" Remus rolled his eyes, don't these blokes ever get a clue?
Sirius shrugged.
While all this was taking place, there was yet another who couldn't sleep, two actually. Severus Snape was up reading his potions book when the door the boys dormitory opened. He looked up to he his sister tip toe inside. Severus arched an eyebrow "You are aware that you could get in deep, deep trouble for this....."
"I can't sleep." She replied, like she didn't hear what her brother said. She hoped onto his bed.
"To sneak into the Slytherin common room AND into the boys dormitory....."
"Nobody will know. Stop being such a rule keeper."
"What's on your mind?" Severus put down his book.
"I'm worried about Lily....."
"Evans? That mud-" Severus stopped himself. He remembered he promised never to use that word again. Plus his sister was now glaring daggers at him. "....mm-muggle-born?"
"My friend."
"Samantha.....I'm not sure if its good for you to be hanging around with her."
"I think it is perfectly good for me! But this isn't about me right now Sev, it's about her. Potter is planning something, and I'm afraid he might hurt her."
"You're not thinking of dragging me into this, are you, Samantha?"
"No.....but I could use some ideas." Sam gave him her most adorable puppy face that even HE couldn't turn down.
Back in Gryffindor the boys were putting their heads together....literally. James thought they would think better that way. They all sat on one bed leaning forward and leaning into each other's heads. Remus thought it was rather ridiculous but he could never prove them wrong, for Sirius did seem to think very well this way. It's a pity they couldn't do it during exams.
"I GOT it!" Sirius whispered excitedly. "It's perfect!" he told the boys his plan. Remus shook his head. "Honestly, Padfoot, could you think of anything more perverted?"
"Hey! Let the punishment fit the crime!" was all Sirius said.
"But James, we'll have to get your cloak back." Remus said. "And you can't get into the girls' dormitories....." his companions looked at him, like they both knew something he didn't ".....can we?"
Sirius look out a piece of parchment from under James pillow, Remus knew all too well what it was. James took out his wand "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." Ink magically appeared on the parchment forming the map of Hogwarts. This map showed everyone, everywhere, every time. They saw that Lily was in bed and so was Emily. And they saw that the Snape girl was on her way back to her common room.
"We just have to wait till we know everybody's asleep and nobody's outside. Evans always keeps her window open. I'll fly up and get my cloak." James said, like this was the least of his worries.
"And if one of the girls wakes up? What will you do then?" Remus asked.
"Hopefully I'll have my cloak by then." James got out of bed and got out his broom.
"You're crazy, Prongs! Completely insane!" Even though Remus was lecturing, he was smiling. He knew nothing could stop his friend now. This was going to be an interesting evening.
James flew out the window of the boys' dormitory after Sirius was positive nobody was around to see. He flew to the other side of the tower and just as he had predicted, Lily had left her window open. He quietly floated up and peeked in. All girls were all in their beds. James looked closely over at Lily, she was breathing steadily. She was asleep. He stood on his broomstick and placed his hands on the window to steady him self before stepping in. Once inside he went straight to Lily's bed, he knew if any of the girls had kept it, it was her. James looked under her bed first, but there was nothing there. Then he opened her trunk at the end of her bed which thankfully wasn't locked. He didn't find anything that felt like his cloak. He did think of taking a pair of her knickers but thought better of it.
There was only one last place he thought she might have hidden her cloak, but it would be extremely risky to there. But he had to have his cloak back. James got on all fours and started crawling towards the head of the bed. Lily slept on her side, facing him. He had almost forgot what he was doing for a moment, as he stared at her sleeping form. Her brilliant red hair spilled over her pillows like red wine. He was crazy about her red hair, and how it would always shine in the sun. Sirius thought he was just crazy period. James was tempted run his fingers through her hair, but suddenly remembered what he came here to do in the first place. Without taking his eyes off her beautiful face, James reached up and under her pillow as gently as he could and felt around her mattress. He was about to give up and bring his hand back out when he felt something extremely soft and smooth. His cloak!
He gently pulled it out and quickly wrapped it around him. Feeling very relieved that he couldn't be seen, James went back to the window where his broomstick waited for him. He took one last look at the red head asleep in her bed before taking off.
The next morning Lily woke up early, she wanted to take a shower before breakfast. Emily was way ahead of her and was getting her shampoo from her bag.
One thing that Lily really liked about the girls' showers was that each shower had it's own private chamber for changing in, so no girl had to go about in a towel.
"I'll be in the shower next to you, Lils." Emily said, already half way in taking off her shirt.
"Okay." Lily said and she took an empty chamber. She took off her P.J.s and hung up her robes. Than she stepped through the shower curtain and turned the knobs. After turning the water as hot as she could stand she wet her hair. The hot water felt wonderful on her shoulders, which felt rather achy this morning. Her hair felt very slick and slippery, even more than usual. "Must be the new shampoo...." Lily thought as she ran her fingers through her hair, with her eyes closed. It was then that the water seemed come down heavier, or....thicker.....Lily kept her eyes closed as she continued to run her finger through her hair. It DID feel a lot more, slick.....almost like it was.....moving? Lily opened her eyes and what she saw almost made her vomit! WORMS!!!! There were worms everywhere! On the shower floor, clogging the drain, in her HAIR!!!
Lily screamed, and leaped to the far side of the shower and saw that they were all coming in with the shower water! Lily continued to scream and she quickly wrapped herself with a towel and exited the chamber where a bunch of other girls were getting ready for their showers. It wasn't long before Lily's screams were joined by another's when Emily came running out of her shower chamber, her head also full of worms! There was a huge ruckus in the girls' showers. Girls were screaming in disgust and fear. Some were trying to keep away from the worms while others were trying to help Lily and Emily get them out of their hair. There was such a commotion that nobody noticed the door the showers mysteriously open and close on its own.
