Pranks, Names and Sly Games
Lily Evans awoke on a bright sunny Saturday morning. She sat on the edge of her bed, and slipped her feet into her slippers. Yet, instead of finding her slippers she found whip cream. Yes, slimy cold wet whip cream.
Her once soft emerald eyes turned green with furry, "POTTER!"
"Ah music to my ears." James said, not so softly as he sat down in one of the chairs in the common room.
Lily stormed out the door and tripped on a string, releasing, "Honey. Oh, that's it!" She complained.
She stopped at the end of the stairs and gave a death glare, to a boy sitting by the fire. She stomped right over, wand in hand. "Potter!"
James turned around and gave her a warm smile. "You called?"
Lily replied, "LOOK AT MY HAIR!" She screamed at him. "Do you know- how long it takes to get this stuff out?" James shook his head. "A BLOODY LONG TIME!"
"Better start now if you want it out by lunch Evans." James replied and walked down the breakfast.
Back in the girl's dorm, Lily ran her head through the water.
Kelsey stood a foot away. "Why are you doing that?" She pulled her wand out and pointed to Lily's hair saying, "Scourgify." Lily's hair was back to normal. "There, all better."
Lily fumed out of the bathroom muttering, "I'll get you Potter."
Kelsey sat on her bed and said to Lily, "You know, he didn't do this alone."
Lily smiled mischievously. Kelsey caught it and said, "Payback."
"KELSEY!" Sirius yelled down the corridor. She turned around to see Sirius dodging people left and right to get to her.
"Kelsey, I was calling you." Sirius said appearing beside her.
She roller her eyes, "I noticed. Now what do you want Black?" She said picking up her pace.
Sirius looked taken back. "Black?"
Kelsey looked annoyed, "That's IS you name right?" She turned the corner, her pace still picking up.
Sirius kept her pace, "Yes, it's just that you haven't called me that, in months."
"Times change." Kelsey said simply.
He looked shamefully at her, "I guess so."
Kelsey sighed, "So what do you want?"
Sirius had to focus. "The potion, I screwed it up." He said fast.
Kelsey stopped and stared at him, "You WHAT?"
Sirius looked sheepish and said, "It had a reverse effect."
Kelsey sighed. "What did you put in it?"
Sirius though hard. "I don't know."
Kelsey slapped her forehead. "Okay, meet me in the library at, oh 8:00 ok?" She walked off, leaving a very confused Sirius behind.
"Your late Black." Kelsey said as Sirius walked in at 8:15.
"So?" He said sitting back on 2 legs of thje chair.
Kelsey rolled her eyes. "Prick."
"Listen Kelsey-" Sirius began trying to give an appology.
"What did we put in that potion?" She said sitting down, cutting Sirius off.
"I didn't-" He tried to say.
"The snake, check..." She began running through the ingredients.
"You just walked-" Yet again he got cut off.
"Wait. The snake." Kelsey ran off in search of a book.
Sirius sighed. No way was she going to listen to him. What a waste of money. Real diamonds you know. And there was little amathest in there also, her birthstone. "Idiot!" She threw the book at him.
"What?" He asked.
"Look at the snake." She said pointing to a picture.
"And?"
"Does that look like the snake we put in the potion?" She asked angerly.
Sirius gulped.
