Over the next couple of weeks Jamie and Lily studied hard for history of magic. Lily had no idea what the boys would make them do if Jamie lost. She imagined it would be something humiliating like walking around Hogwarts nude or something.
The day of the history of magic test came. Jamie was stressing out.
'lily? What are we going to do?' she asked frantically on the morning of the test. 'What happens if we loose?'
'You, Jamie, are going to do the best you have ever done. And if you loose at least you will have learnt not to make stupid bets.' replied lily matter-of-factually.
Lily stood up with Jamie and Ellie following. They walked to History of magic, Lily quizzing Jamie on giant wars.

Sirius was sweating. So was james.
'ok.' Said James as he sat down in History of magic. 'Breathe and you had better win this bet padfoot.'
It was one of the hardest tests Lily had ever sat. Nasty and tricky was how she described it later.

The next two days went passed really fast. Lily was terrified of Jamie loosing. How could she have signed her up for this too? It wasn't fair. Finally the day the results came arrived. She noticed how quiet Jamie was. She knew she was praying to whatever is out there for her to have won. Lily looked over to where James and Sirius were. She saw them laughing at a joke Sirius had just told. James felt her eyes on him and glanced up at her. Lily quickly put her head down as though she was fasinated by her plate of food.
Jamie suddenly stood up. 'I can't stand this. Lets just go to History of magic and get it over with.'
Lily followed her. 'coming Ellie?'
'no. I want to finish my breakfast.' She replied. 'i'll meet you there.'

lily and Jamie were leaning against the wall outside their History of magic class when James, remus, Peter and Sirius came into view.
'Ah, Martin. James and I were just discussing what we were going to make you do when I win.' Said Sirius with an arrogant tone in his voice. Lily felt Jamies hands clench.
'Well that's just too bad because Lily and I won't need to when I win.'
'Dream on Martin. You will never win.' Sirius said, scornfully.
'Well we are just going to have to see.' Jamie replied calmly.
By this time the whole class was around them. The classroom door opened and the class walked in.
Jamie, Ellie and Lily took their normal seats. Binns came in through the blackboard.
'Well, I have your results from the last test. I must say that you all did fairly badly.' He said in his monotonous voice.
Suddenly their results appeared on the desks in front of them.
'And now we will continue with the misuse of magical creatures in the early 16th century.'
It was another dull class and Lily couldn't wait until it ended. It did finally and Lily, Jamie and Ellie stayed behind. The marauders did the same. Both Jamie and Sirius wore smug expressions.
'O.K. Martin. Ready?' Sirius asked
'I was born ready!' said Jamie, imitating a muggle movie.
They both reached out and took the separate pieces of paper from each other.
Lily knew that Jamie had gotten 87 but she had no idea if Sirius got a better mark.
Sirius' face fell. Jamie looked triumphant. Sirius lay his on the desk. Jamie did the same. Sirius had gotten 86.
Lily sighed and started breathing again. they had not lost.
Sirius's face fell and his face went white and pasty. James's face did the same.
'Well, I won.' Said Jamie. 'I'll see you later boys when Lily and I have come up with a nice and evil dare.' She laughed and walked off with Ellie and Lily following behind.
