Chapter title: Getting suspicious
Author's notes:
Hey! Thanks for the reviews! Hope you like this chapter. Oh, and if you think the other girls will interfere with the plot, they won't entirely. Of course, I would need to introduce them to you later on, right? Remus also needed a partner, so there.
Disclaimer:
Sigh, everytime I type this, I feel so small because I know that I don't own any of the characters. Hey J.K.! Nice work!

Lily bit her quill as she looked down at her Defence Against the Dark Arts test paper. Professor Rowland gave them a quiz about chapter one to three and Lily was on her last question.
Lily growled silently as she can't remember what two things werewolves fear the most. She knew the full moon, but what was the other? She looked up from her paper and saw the faces of her classmates all crunched up. They were having a hard time. Their professor was roaming around the classroom, looking over the shoulder of each student.
"It wouldn't be too hard if you actually opened your books." she said as she passed Peter, who looked as if he was about to have a nervous breakdown.
Lily sighed and turned back to her paper again. Maybe if she reviewed her other answers, she would get a clue. She scanned her paper.
Then, she heard a chair move and someone get up. Lily looked up and saw James Potter handing his paper to the professor. Lily glared at James for beating her, before she turned back to her paper.
She desperately wished that her Aunt Silver was here. Her aunt was the only witch in the family (besides Lily), and she had a liking for werewolves.
Ooh! Aunt Silver! Where are you in times of need?
Suddenly, the answer struck her. Her Aunt! That was the answer! Werewolves are afraid of the full moon and anything silver!
Lily quickly jotted down the answer and stood up to pass the teacher her paper. As she was walking, James pushed a chair towards her unnoticed and she crashed into it. She fell flat on her face and everyone began laughing. What's worse, her robe flew including her skirt, floral white and pink underwear.
Lily blushed and their professor helped her up and got her paper. She went back to her seat, still blushing and very angry at James. She fixed herself.
AFTER DADA
"You know, I think I have at least four mistakes." said Arabella as the students piled out of the DADA classroom.
Alice looked up thoughtfully as she smoothed her hair.
"I think, it was about the first man who became a werewolf, right?" she asked Arabella. Arabella nodded.
"I think I got that one wrong too. Curse it, I may have at least two mistakes. I mean, all night of studying and I still have two mistakes." exclaimed Alice angrily. She began muttering to herself.
Bella noticed that Lily was not in the conversation, and she was looking at her feet all along. Even though her head was bent down, Bella could see that she was blushing. Who wouldn't after revealing their underwear to the whole class?
"Lils, is it about that prat James Potter and his psycho prank again?" asked Bella, snapping Alice out of her muttering.
Lily looked up reluctantly.
"Guys, I can't believe this. Everyone is staring at me. How could word spread that fast?" asked Lily as they entered the great hall.
It was true. Almost everyone was staring at Lily, some were whispering and some were pointing. Suddenly, a Ravenclaw girl stood up and shouted.
"Hey Evans, don't go blaming James because you can't control your panties." the girl exclaimed.
Lily blushed and Alice could have sworn that Lily was redder than her hair. Bella glared at the girl and replied something back.
"Hey Larah, shut up or else you'll see your underwear hanging over your head, or worst, hanging around the great hall." she said smugly but the girl didn't seem a little fazed about it.
She began mimicking Arabella and Alice saw that Bella was reaching for her wand. Alice tried to stop her but Arabella didn't obey.
"That's it girl. You asked for it." she muttered a spell and in no less than a second, her underwear was over her head and a dozen underwear came flying in the great hall, decorating themselves like the flying pumpkins.
Larah screamed and exited the hall, everyone laughing their heads off.
The marauders entered and unfortunately, they saw what happened.
"You'll pay for this Evans! You'll pay for what you did to my girlfriend." said Sirius and he ran, following Larah.
All Lily could do was looked shocked, before she flew towards the ceiling.
Arabella and Alice saw James Potter laughing, his wand raised.
"Hey! Put her down, now!" screamed Alice but James didn't obey. He just smirked at Alice.
Then, he placed a permanent charm and Lily was left flying inside the great hall, wherein she looked like an angel wearing black because of the ceiling.
Lily groaned and didn't bother to reprimand James because of his unruly behavior because she knew that would get her nowhere.
Unfortunately, her friends didn't know the counter curse so Lily had to miss another meal.
When the teachers entered the hall, the headmaster was the first to speak.
"Could anyone please tell me why the hall is decorated with such ensembles, or do they seem to be out of place?"
AFTER AFTERNOON LESSONS
The teachers managed to land Lily Evans, wherein they gave James a whole week of detention. Lily was too tired to do anything after that, so she missed her afternoon lessons.
At about seven, after dinner, Alice and Arabella entered the common room. They saw Lily with her head lied down on the table, and her hair was very ruffled.
"Lils, what happened?"
Lily looked up and tears came streaming down.
"I'm too tired of this, guys. I thought that when they say you'll never win a fight against the marauders, they were just joking. But it's true. Too true." she said and Alice and Bella began comforting her.
They kept on saying things that might help her to stop suffering, and little by little, they were succeeding.
A few people were already going in the common room, but the three girls took no heed. Until, they saw something that they would never forget.
While Lily's tears were about to stop, the marauders entered the common room, with James' arm over Merrimiah, who was laughing, as in truly. Next came Sirius, kissing Larah. Lily's eyes widened at Merrimiah, who seemed as if she really was enjoying James' company.
Too tired to say anything, she just ran to the girls dormitory with Arabella and Alice hot on her tail.
Merri's eyes followed them. She began addressing James.
"James, I'll see you later, kay?" she asked then kissed James lightly on the cheek, then ran to the girl's dormitory.
When she entered, she saw Lily crying on her bed, with Rose Anne, Bella and Alice comforting her.
She came forward and asked what was going on.
"What were you doing downstairs with Potter?" asked Arabella icily.
Merri looked shocked, but she regained her composure after a while. Rose Anne even glared at her.
"Well, I have to make it obvious that I really asked him out right?" asked Merri and she sat down Lily's bed, then began smoothing her hair.
Alice rolled her eyes and suddenly thought of an idea to cheer the depressed Lily. They knew a very great game that even at times like this, it would cheer up anyone.
"Hey everyone, how about we play 'No Boys Allowed'? It would really cheer you up, Lils." said Alice.
At this, Lily's head snapped up and she began wiping her tears. She smiled a little then looked at the girls.
"Really? I would really love to play that." Said Lily. Arabella and Rose Anne smiled fondly at Alice for thinking of an idea to cheer Lily up.
They thought it was all planned out, until the dreaded sentence came.
"Sorry guys, but I can't play. James and I are taking a stroll outside." Said Merri and everyone looked shocked. Merri walked out of the dormitory, leaving the girls, glaring at her.
"But we need five players in order to play!" exclaimed Alice. Lily just went back to her bed.
"Don't worry guys, it's fine." She said quietly.
I know it was short, but I really think I'm lacking updates. So there, hey guys, please help me, I'm running short with ideas.
