Chapter title: Revenge of the Ladies
Author's notes:
Sorry for the delay, it's just that we had our camping and it required a lot of time. So, here's the next chap! Anyway, I've decided to make like two more chapters while the marauders torture Lily, so that it'll be suspenseful!

Lily's POV
I hated my dream. I hated it with all passion and force. Good thing Alice and Bella woke me up in time before the fire had gone out and I saw my dog's burnt body in my dream.
When I woke up, tears kept streaming. I knew that it was my fault Max died. It was all my fault. All the guilt is mine. I accept it.
After my friends woke me up, they kept asking why I was crying. Of course, me being the stubborn person that I am, didn't say anything as we went up the staircase. Still, when going up, I had a feeling a pair of eyes were following me. It was creepy so I hurried to my dorm, probably thinking that it was just sleep creeping over me.
As I got settled on my bed and Alice and Bella were asleep, I cried again. I wish I had Maximus by now. He was our dog, my dog. I loved him more than anything else in the world.
I really hate me! I hate fire! I hate the kitchen! Most of all, I hate my hair. Now, you ask why. It's because my hair is red. Well, not entirely because it's sort of brownish red, but it is still red. Red symbolizes one good thing. That was love.
But if you see it in my point of view, it symbolizes a lot of terrible things. Pure evil, war, violence, death, blood and most of all, it symbolizes fire. Yes, fire. That very element that killed my dog.
I remember after a few weeks my dog died, I tried to cut my hair to stop remembering Max. Petunia stopped me. There was also one time I tried to dye it black, my mom stopped me.
Of all the things I hate about me, what I hate most about me is my hair. When people say I have pretty hair, I ignore them. I don't like good comments about my hair. Heck, all I wanted to do was to bake some cookies, and what happened? I murdered my dog!
I think it is already morning. I have lied down too long contemplating my thoughts. But I was sure that I didn't want to sleep. I sat up and glanced at my alarm clock.
It was three o' clock! How long was I thinking? Possibly, this would be a good time to finish my assignment in Transfiguration. First, I need to change. I smell bad!
I took some clothes from my trunk and went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and got a hot shower.
Seriously, the shower made me relax. All my tensed muscles became loosened and I smiled. After a while, I got out of the shower, changed into my clothes and even though I hate doing it, I combed my hair.
I mean, sure I hate my hair, but I look so untidy with my hair uncombed. Then, I grabbed my stuff and headed down the common room to start.

NARRATOR'S POV
When Arabella's clock rung, she got up and yawned. Arabella was a morning person. She loved the morning.
She smiled and began waking up the others. She loved the part wherein she'll have to wake up Alice and Lily. Usually, it would take them a lot of time to wake up.
"Rise and shine peepz! This is your captain speaking! Our weather is pretty good, with one hundred degrees out! Morning sunlight has reached us so it's a good time for breakfast!" exclaimed Arabella happily as she bounded up and down her bead, imitating a pilot.
All of the girls groaned except for Alice, who was fast asleep.
"Seriously Bella, stop it with that pilot thingy! I don't even know what a pilot is!" said Merrimiah who was rubbing her eyes forcefully. She got up and brushed her long silver hair which made her look like a veela.
Merrimiah, or who they call Merri for short, was a very pretty girl with her silver hair and periwinkle eyes. She was kind and sweet, but sometimes, her only problem is when she lose a game, a bet or something. She loved winning and hated it when losing. That was her only bad trait, but she was good over all.
Arabella smiled at Merri and laughed at another girl who was trying to stand up desperately.
There were five fifth year Gryffindors, namely Lily, Alice, Arabella, Merrimiah and last but not the least, Rose Anne.
Rose Anne had brown hair and brown eyes. She wasn't exactly what you would call breath taking like the other fifth years, but she was nice and smart.
"Uh! I hate waking up!" mumbled Rose Anne sleepily as she stumbled on the floor.
Arabella having succeeded in her mission in waking up the two girls, bounced towards Alice's bed, making Alice groan in frustration.
"Bella! What the heck was that for?" exclaimed Alice in frustration as she threw a pillow towards Bella.
Bella glared at her and poured water over her. This made Alice scream and stand up, running directly to the shower.
Arabella walked up to her last victim, but finding that she wasn't there, she just sat down on her bed, waiting for the others to finish.

COMMON ROOM
Lily sighed happily as she wrote her last word in her essay. She worked on it for three hours and she still didn't feel sleepy.
She got up and lied down on the red velvet couch, grinning. She finished her homework without any help from anyone, and she felt relieved to have all the guilt that was building up inside her minimizing.
Suddenly, she heard sounds coming from the stairs, only to find her fellow Gryffindor girls going down.
She smiled at them and waved at Rose Anne, who waved back shyly.
Lily always seemed to have a soft spot for Rose Anne, and she didn't know why. She just thought that this girl needs to loosen up a bit.
"Hey guys! Breakfast starts in about an hour, why are you up early?" asked Lily as the girls sat down.
Everyone glared at Arabella who was smiling innocently. Lily at that instant knew what happened and thanked God that she was awake already.
Suddenly, a question popped out from Merri, surprising all of them.
"Lilac, I know that the marauders are pranking you and believe me, I'm always on your side. I mean, how dare them do such horrid things to people." Said Merri angrily, and Lily muttered her small thanks.
Rose Anne nodded and for the first time, she looked angry.
"Lils, don't worry, we'll help you through thick and thin. I was thinking maybe we could plan something in order to get back at them for all the mean things they were doing to you." She said, shocked at herself.
Arabella jumped up and checked Rose Anne's forehead exasperatedly.
"Oh no! She's not sick! Do you think she's on drugs?" she asked the other girls.
The girls laughed and Rose Anne merely rolled her eyes and grinned.
"So guys, what do you have in mind?" asked Alice as they stopped laughing. The girls looked thoughtful for a while then Arabella spoke up.
"Hey Al, do you remember the book we read about yesterday? The one that contained funny and entertaining charms?" she asked and the girls looked at her intently.
Bella sighed and began explaining.
"Well, it goes like this. I've heard of spells that controls people to make music with burping, farting and making sounds from their armpits. Maybe, we could do that and it'll be like the Marauders' special band." Said Arabella happily and everyone seemed to agree.
Lily gathered them and they all talked quietly, careful not to wake anyone so that no one would know about their prank.
"How do we start the prank?" asked Lily quietly as the other girls leaned towards her.
Alice thought for a moment before replying.
"I think this breakfast at the great hall. We have at least thirty minutes to prepare, anyway. First, we should make sure that all of them are together, and one of us will sit by, close I mean, to distract them. We still need some simple ingredients for the spell to work, but I'm pretty sure that the ingredients are in the forest." She said and Merri raised her hand.
"I'll do the distracting! Maybe one of us could practice the spell, and three will search for the ingredients." She said and everyone nodded.
"I think I'll study the spell. After all, it is my revenge." Said Lily quietly and she left, leaving the others.
But no sooner or later, Arabella, Alice and Rose Anne left too, to look for the ingredients.
Merri sat at the common room, waiting for the marauders. They have agreed to leave Remus out of it, since he was sort of protecting them.
At about 6:45, the marauders came down all dressed and they were laughing.
Merri's eyes gleamed and she stood up, walking casually to the marauders. The boys didn't notice her presence until Merrimiah was at least a foot away from them.
"Hey guys! I'm Merrimiah, but I think you know me already." she said flirtatiously at the boys, who looked awe stricken at the sight before them. Of course, who wouldn't? Merri was very pretty. Sirius was the first one to make a move by holding Merri's hand gently and kissing it.
"Morning to you my fair lady. May I ask why you look so dashingly pretty?" he said in a very sexy voice. Merri resisted the temptation to roll her eyes and looked at him lovingly.
"Why, maybe because I am part veela and I was hoping I could join you for breakfast." She answered in a sweet tone and the boys all agreed.
Merri smiled at them and then began leading them down the great hall.

GREAT HALL
"So Merri, right?" asked James as they began eating pancakes except for Merri, who was inspecting every single food.
"What? Oh yes, Merrimiah." she answered glumly, until she saw the other girls who were panting. She waved at them and they just looked at her, not wanting anyone to get suspicious. Suddenly, she noticed that Lily was walking slowly towards them, and getting this, she began distracting the marauders.
"Oh! So guys, what do you think about the Hogsmeade thing this weekend?" she asked as she watched Sirius stuff syrup in his mouth.
"Oh! We don't have any plans yet." said Remus, looking at her.
Merrimiah glanced at her side and saw Lily very near them. The marauders really needed to be distracted.
Merrimiah was running out of ideas, and Lily was very near them. She suddenly grabbed James and kissed him forcefully on the lips, making the marauders look at them.
Lily sighed at this and ran quietly to their place, hid under their table and took their cups. She then began pouring the liquid at James's, Sirius's, and Peter's cups.
Lils! Faster please! I can't do this any longer! Thought Merri who was still kissing James, now James was responding.
Lily muttered the spell and returned their cups quietly and unnoticed, then crawled out of the table.
Merri immediately withdrew and looked at James longingly.
"So? Hogsmeade this week, right?" she asked in a seductive voice. James just grinned at her cheekily and Merrimiah stood up and went to her friends, not before noticing some whitish liquid in their pumpkin juice. When she was sure the marauders couldn't see her, she stuck her tongue out and pointed a finger at it.
After two minutes, with Merri sitting with her friends, the marauders excluding Remus stood up on the table and Sirius and James began making noises with their armpits, after a while, Peter was singing 'Hakuna Matata' in tune with the music Sirius and James were making now with farting.
Everyone in the great hall was now laughing, even the teachers.
The girls high- fived each other and left for their first class, not planning on reversing the spell since it wears off in about fifteen minutes.

There, guess what would happen with Merri, and I'll give you a cookie, it involves a very raging Lily. Guess people!
