She got up and went out into the corridor to see what happened. She noticed that everyone on the train was gathering in the corridor to see what had happened. Over everyone's head she could see smoke coming out of a compartment towards the front of the train.
"EVERYONE BACK IN THEIR COMPARTMENTS!" Lily said as loud as she could. Everyone turned to her and figured out that she was Head Girl and reluctantly went back in their compartments. Lily made her way to the compartment the smoke was coming from. As she got closer to it the smell got stronger and she knew that the explosion was from Dung Bombs going off. She had had many set off in her dorm room before as a prank from the Marauders. As she came up on the compartment she saw that the glass door had been shattered and smoke was rising from the carpet where the bomb had hit it. Then she saw whose compartment it had been. 'Snape, Crabbe, Goyle, and Lestrange! Just who I want to deal with right now.' Lily thought.
"What happened?" She went up to Lestrange and asked.
"Stupid Mudblood! Can't you see that Potter and Black were behind this?" He answered angrily.
"I knew that that was most likely the explanation." She retorted. "Well don't stand there like idiots. Open the window so we can air out the train." Then Snape reluctantly went over to open the window.
"Reparo" she said as she pointed her wand to the glass door to fix it and then she started to walk away.
"Well aren't you going to do something about this?" Lestrange asked. "If you're going to let those gits get away with it then I'm not!" he shouted at her.
"I was going to write to Professor Dumbledore and tell him what happened and let him deal with the punishments." Lily said through gritted teeth. She was trying so hard not to just punch him in the face and say he deserved it. "Now if you'll excuse me I have an owl to send." And with that Lily walked of toward the head compartment.
When Lily walked into the head compartment she saw Peter sleeping on the couch, Remus shaking his head like he couldn't believe something, and James and Sirius were rolling on the floor laughing. That was it she couldn't take it anymore.
"You Idiots!" She shouted in James and Sirius' direction.
"You can't tell me that you didn't think that was the littlest bit funny, Evans." James said. And actually she found it very funny because she wasn't very fond of that particular bunch of Slytherins. But she'd rather die than admit that to Potter.
"Actually, Potter, I don't find it funny in the least bit." She said in the nastiest voice she could. "I'm not fond of them either but do you see me throwing Dung Bombs into their compartment?" Lily asked as she found a piece of parchment and a quill and some ink on the desk and scribbling a note to Dumbledore.
"Awww, Come on Lily don't write to Dumbledore." James pouted.
"Prongs it's not like it's the worse thing we've ever done. I'm sure we'll get away with just a detention." Sirius said as he put a hand on James' shoulder who was now standing next to Lily. She was bent over the table still scribbling.
"I told you not to do it." Remus said.
"Shut up Moony" Sirius snapped at him.
Lily finished the note and got up to find an owl. She saw James' owl in a cage on the ground and took it out to tie the letter to its leg. She walked over to the window and while petting the owl told it to take the letter to Dumbledore.
"I think you're owl likes her better than he likes you." Remus said from behind James as that were all facing the window now watching Lily.
"Yeah well now all we have to introduce her to Prongs' parents and then the entire Potter family will be in Love with her." Sirius remarked earning him a smack in the back of the head from James.
They watched Lily let the owl go out the window. The she turned around and to the Marauders' surprise she stopped right in front of James instead of stomping out of the compartment like they had expected.
"I suggest that you shape up Potter." Lily said tightly, barely keeping her temper in check.
"Aw, come on Lil, it was just a joke." James said all of the sudden feeling like a fool. Only Lily could do that to him.
"Do I need to remind you that you are Head Boy?" Lily asked.
"No" James mumbled not meeting her eyes.
"And this means that you have to go to all of your classes, get decent grades, go to prefect meetings, actually enter the library for other reasons than to annoy Madame Pince, and keep order not disrupt it!" Lily said curtly and walked out of the compartment before James could reply.
"I still don't know what you see in her." Sirius said quietly to James. "She may be hot but she is a major pain in the ass."
"Shut up Padfoot." James told Sirius and then went to his trunk and took out his Quidditch weekly magazine and sat on the couch next to Peter and pretended to read it so they would leave him alone.
