Refrain:
"Is Evans standing up to Malfoy, Prongs? Or is it just me." Remus asked blinking his eyes a couple of times.
"She sure is." Sirius grinned.
"If this is YOUR school, my arse can speak 10 languages. And I'll tell you something, my arse CAN'T speak 10 languages." Lily's voice was heard throughout the whole school and Sirius was furious.
"What's crawled up your arse and died?" Peter asked looking at Sirius's red face.
"I can't believe I didn't think of that! I'm so disappointed in myself."

Chapter 4

"Ahk!" Lily yelped as she toppled off her bed onto the cold wood floor, "oww." She groaned and stood up, getting dressed in a pair of sweat shorts and a t-shirt figuring that no one in their right mind would be awake at 4:30 in the morning. Lily grabbed her unfinished Potions essay (that was supposed to be due in 6 hours) and a few pieces of parchment. Lily looked around at her friends in the room and smiled at her friends. She could hear Arabella shuffling around in her bed and Cecilia muttering about food and Cherry about- wait she couldn't hear Cherry's light snoring. Shrugging, she stepped out of the room and down to the library.
"Miss Evans, what are you doing down here this early?" Madame Pince asked, turning the lamp light on and blindly Lily for a minute.
"I didn't finish my homework, I'll be going soon." Lily turned to walk down to the Potions section and turned back, "don't worry, I'll keep everything perfect."
Madame Pince sniffed and sat back down behind the counter. Lily continued to walk and turned the small lamp on that was seated on the desk. She laid down her belongings and shivering slightly from the chilly morning air. The red head walked over to the shelves of books behind her and leaned down to look for a book that had anything about various sleeping potions..
"Hey is that a nice view or what?" A hushed voice said, making Lily jerk up. Seeing that everything was silent, she bent over and picked an especially thick book. Flipping threw the pages, she brought the book back to her table and opened in the index to see if there was anything on the uses of sleeping potions and dangers.
"Why don't we have any clothes like that? We should get muggles to make clothes like that for us." Another hushed voice said, making Lily look up again from her work.
"Is someone there?" Lily asked standing up and walking towards the voices.
"Bloody hell, run!" Another hushed voice whispered and Lily could hear footsteps running away from her. Lily crossed her arms, feeling a little violated that people were saying things about her wearing something that didn't cover as much skin as those robes did. Lily walked back to the Potions section again and reached for a thin book.
"Hey! Watch it! I was going to look at that book!"
"Cherry? What are you doing here?" Lily asked dropping the book and bending down to pick it up.
"N-nothing, I just need a book for Potions, that's all." She quickly walked away, leaving Lily staring at her backside. Lily shrugged and put the book back on it's shelf.
Two hours flew by quickly and Lily stretched in her seat yawning. She picked up her belongings and parchment and quickly started up the stairs to the Gryffindor common room.
"Looks like a particular mudblood is in a hurry this morning." A voice said as they grabbed Lily's wrist, making her drop her parchments and quill. .
"Good morning to you too." Lily tugged at her wrist from him and bent down to pick up her stuff from the ground.
"I haven't had a good morning since you stepped into this castle on your first day." He sneered at Lily and she just rolled her eyes.
"That's your problem isn't it?" Lily stood up with her things in her arms and started to walk up the stairs.
"I'm not down with you yet." He growled, whipping out his wand and tossing Lily into the air upside down like James had down to Severus the day before.
"Do you mind putting me right side up?" She asked eyeing her parchment and quill on the first step of the stairs.
"Is the mudblood worried about something happening to her homework?" He asked with fake sweetness. Lily almost gagged at his fake attempts to be caring.
"Just put me down, Malfoy."
"Gladly, it'd be nice to rid this school of scum like you." With a flick of his wrist, Lily found herself falling from 10 feet up in the air. She closed her eyes tightly, not finding the nerve to scream out loud.
'Bloody hell! Bloody hell! I'm going to die! I'm never going to have a chance to tell Potter how I truly hate his guts and I'm never going to be able to tell Cherry that all that makeup she wears makes her look like a clown. And I'm never going to be able to tell Bella that her boyfriend looks like a monkey and I'm never going to be able to tell Petunia how much she looks like a horse and I'm never going to b- Huh? I'm alive?' She thought opening her tightly shut eyes and looking up into a pair of playful hazel eyes.
"I believe you're starting to fall for m-"
"Don't even start Potter." She muttered, "put me down." James just chuckled and set down the red head just in time for her to see Lucius pick up her parchment from the ground and smile.
"Hey, give that back!" She scrambled towards him to grab the parchment from him but he stepped out of the way, making Lily trip and scrape her knee on the cold stone floor.
"Nah-uh-uh." He waved his finger at her and pointed his wand at the parchment.
"Give it back, Malfoy." She stood up and glared at him.
"What if I don't?"
"I'll rip every single piece of hair off your ugly little head until someone forces me to stop." Before anyone could protest, Malfoy had muttered a spell and the parchment had started to burn. Lily stared at the parchment.
'That was 2 lost hours of sleep.' She thought, and the more she thought, the more her gauges were filling up.
"That was a death wish, Malfoy." Lily ran towards the blonde 7th year and knocked him off his feet and started tugging at his hair. Behind the two, James was laughing with tears running down his face, and was kneeling on the stair handles for support.
Remus was walking into the school when he spotted a large crowd just in front of the Gryffindor tower. He saw a flash of familiar red hair and he neared closer towards the center.
"I'll rip every single hair off your ugly little head of yours!" Lily whispered fiercely tugging at the whitish blonde hair.
"Whoa! Lily, get off! You're a prefect remember?" Remus walked quickly towards the two struggling teenagers and pried Lily off the 7th year. Remus held Lily back by tightly holding her shoulders. Lucius stood up angrily, trying to pat his hair down and glared at Lily.
"Let go of me." Lily slapped off Remus's hands and stood up with her hands held tightly in a fist.
"I'll make you regret that you ever came to Hogwarts." Lucius spat and headed towards the Great Hall.
"Lily, you better get dressed in your robes, come on." Remus put a hand on her shoulder, "there's nothing else to see, go into the great hall everyone." There were hushed whispers as the crowd followed Lucius's footsteps into the Great Hall.
"Evans, I didn't know you had it in you." James laughed following after Remus and Lily up the stairs.
"I didn't know I did either. Ugh, this is nasty." Lily said as she opened her hand, revealing a ball off whitish blonde hair. Remus stared at the clump of hair with disgust as James burst into another fit of laughter.
"You're brilliant, Evans. Gillyweed." The three walked into the common room where Lily headed up the girl's tower. James and Remus looked at her until she was out of sight.
"Those are nice legs aren't they?" James nudged Remus grinning.
The sandy haired teen just stared at his friend, "... shut up Prongs."
The Marauders headed down to the Great Hall which was filled with whispers about the fight that had happened a little earlier that morning between Lily Evans and Lucius Malfoy.
"Hey Prongs, what is this I hear about Lily and Blondie?" Sirius asked rubbing a tired eye.
"She totally whipped his arse. It was BRILLIANT." James laughed and Sirius was furious once again.
"That girl is doing everything I haven't ever thought of doing. Okay the arse comment, I let that slip. But how come we never thought of causing the Slytherins BODILY harm?"
"Don't ask me Padfoot, you're the one who plans everything." Remus pointed out. The four friends took their usual seats.
"Hi James." A voice said sitting next to the tall black haired teen.
"Evans?" James asked turning to his side. Lily had never called him by his first name before, "did you just call me James?"
"Yeah, why?" Lily leaned forward onto her elbows and gave James a flirtatious smile.
"Are you trying to make up for what happened this morning with Malfoy?" James asked confused, even though her smile was enchanting.
"What happened this m- I mean, of coarse silly!" She giggled, a pink tint on her cheeks.
"Well, then it was all my pleasure." James messed up his hair and the three guys behind him rolled their eyes.
"I wanted to thank you." She smiled and closed her eyes, quickly giving him a peck on the lips. The Marauders, including the female population of the school opened their eyes wide in shock. Was this really Lily Evans?
"Well, bye James." Lily gave him another quick peck and stood up and walked out of the Great Hall.
"Is Lily sick?" Sirius asked, his eyes wide.
"I think Malfoy did more to her than we saw." Remus added looking at James through the corner of his eyes.
"She kissed me." He smiled goofily and started eating his breakfast.
Wincing and rubbing her knee where she had fallen on that morning, Lily walked slowly towards her Defense Against the Dark Arts class. She tried ignoring the stares coming from the different students and opened the door to the dungeon room.
"Hello Severus, I see you got down okay." She said taking a seat next to the greasy haired teenager seeing that he was the only one in the class besides her.
"Get away from me Evans." He muttered and went back to working on his homework.
"I see you're working on your Potions essay, just to tell you Dragon Saliva is the ingredient that decides how strong your potion will be.
"...are you sure?"
"I finished my essay earlier today, but a blonde haired Slytherin burned it up." Lily stretched her arms and yawned, "I even woke up 3 hours before breakfast to finish it."
Severus just sniffed in reply and continued to work on his homework.
"I heard we're working on our Patronus's today. I really can't wait to see what form mine will take." Lily said excitedly taking a glance at Severus, "you know talking to you is like talking to a wall."
"Well I'm sorry I can't seem to have a conversation with the great Lily Evans." He muttered sarcastically, still not taking his eyes off his parchment.
"It's okay, you should be glad I squeezed this little conversation into my busy schedule." She said jokingly. Severus looked up amused.
"And that schedule consists of..."
"Classes, classes, classes and tutoring Potter in Charms." Lily yawned and paused for a moment, "you're an arse."
Severus turned back to his parchment, "I apologize for acting rashly yesterday."
Lily accepted the apology from him with a nod and yawned once again.
"Lily! There you are!" Cecilia and Arabella stormed into the room, interrupting the comfortable silence between the two 5th years.
"What are you two doing here? I thought you guys would be eating still."
"I heard all about it!!" Cecilia bubbled excitedly.
"I've heard it enough, don't mention it."
"Okay we won't! But we really want to congratulate you!"
"Huh? About what? Getting in a fight with Malfoy?"
"We'll let you figure it out yourself." Cecilia tugged at Lily arms, "what are you doing? Sitting next to him?" She whispered.
"Why? Can't I?" Lily crossed her arms, "just sit here."
Lily walked out of the classroom, smiling happily.
"Evans!" James yelled running up to her and putting an arm around her.
"Stop if James, people will get ideas." Lily giggled, shrugging his arm off with a tint of pink of her pale cheeks.
"Who cares?" James smiled and kissed her on the cheek, "I thought you hated me."
"I was just acting like I didn't, truthfully, I've liked you for, well, forever."
James smiled and led her to the library, "come on, I told you I'd help you in transfiguration."
Remus tiredly walked up to the common room, yawning, he said the password and walked past the fat lady.
"Lily, what are you doing here?" He asked, spotting the red head sitting at a desk, drumming her fingers angrily on the desk before her.
"What am I doing here? Well, I am waiting for YOUR stupid friend to show up for his Charms lesson." Lily snapped, her eyes flashing.
"So what exactly happened this morning?" Remus smiled at her.
"What? The fight with Malfoy? He just started an argument and I just decided to cause him bodily harm." Lily shrugged.
"Not that, I meant the kiss."
"I don't know, I wasn't there. Exactly what happened? I keep hearing that some 'bitch' went up to James Potter and kissed him in front of the school. Like anyone would want to kiss that arrogant and conceited arse." Lily laughed and tucked a few pieces of hair behind her ear.
"So, who's the quote, bitch, unquote?" Lily asked, interested in the conversation.
"Wait, Lily, you don't know?" Remus asked thoroughly confused.
"Of coarse not, I wasn't there remember?" Lily looked at Remus, "you know Remus, don't take any offense in what I'm about to say, but you look like a load of trash today. Did you not get enough sleep?"
"Yeah, I didn't get sleep. Lily, I'm going to go."
"Okay, bye Remus." She waved and went back to waiting for James.
James walked up to the common room after parting ways with Lily, still smiling to himself.
She almost seemed like a different person. He walked past the portrait and spotted a SOMEONE sitting next to the desk.
"Evans? How'd you get here so fast?"
"Potter, what the bloody hell are you talking about?" Lily growled, "I was here the whole time waiting for your ugly arse!"
