When the train stopped, the five occupants in the compartment started walking with the stream of other first years. James was in absolute rage when Lily and the three other boys told him about what happened with Snape and Malfoy.

"Malfoy acually 'punched' you! Oh, I am going to kick his a-" James started to shout.

"James, it's fine. I'm perfectly alright." Lily interupted him.

James was about to reply when he heard a voice shout, "Firs' years this way! Four ter a boat!" The voice belonged to Hogwarts gamekeeper, Hagrid.

"Looks like we have a problem. Four to a boat?! There's five of us." Sirius said, stupidly.

"Thank you Captain Obvious." James said, sarcastically.

"Oh it's no big deal guys. I'll just go find a boat full of first year girls to chat with." Lily said, starting to walk off. Remus, James, and Sirius shared uneasy looks. Knowing Lily's luck of past occurances, there was no telling what trouble Malfoy and Snape had planned for her if she were without one of them around to protect her. Surprisingly, Peter was thinking about this as well.

"W-well. Wait Lily. Uh, Remus and I can go with you. That way you'll at least know someone else." The three other boys looked at him, surprised. Lily smiled at him.

"Ok, thanks. That's really sweet." Lily said, dragging the two boys along after she said her goodbyes to Sirius and James.

Lily, Remus, and Peter found a boat with one other boy in it. James and Sirius were still looking for one. Finally, Sirius spotted one with two seats available. There was only one problem with it. The other two in it were none other than, yep you guessed it.

"Malfoy" James snarled just as Sirius spat out, "Snape"

"Awww. What do we have here. Potty and his faithful companion Black. Where's your mudblood girlfriend?" Malfoy sneered.

James took out his wand in the blink of an eye and pointed it at Malfoy. "Watch what you say about Lily."

Snape rolled his eyes, "Still defending her, huh? Just know this Potter. You're not going to be around her 24/7 to protect. What will happen then?"

James turned his head slowly to look at Snape. "I'd bet my life that Lily could take care of herself if needed, however, if you even think to come near her, ever, you'll wish I would have done what I was going to do back at Diagon Alley." he said, threateningly.

Snape quickly glanced over at Sirius, who was shaking with rage, then glanced back at James, "You say this now when Black is with you. You wouldn't be so confident if it were just you."

James raised an eyebrow at him, "If I recall correctly, I lived on the same street as you for two years and you were terrified of both me 'and' Lily. I'd be as confident as I am now if it were just you and me. If I were you, 'I'd' watch 'my' back."

Snape leaned in closer, "Is that a threat, Potter?"

James said in a deadly quiet voice, "It's a warning, Snape." It looked as though James could have tackled Snape right then and there, so Sirius put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head slightly, calming his friend down.

The boatride with Lily, Remus, and Peter was quiet. Nobody spoke for a couple of minutes. Then Lily said, "What hair color would be more embarressing for a boy, pink or purple?"

Remus thought about it, "I'd have to say... pink. It's a little more girly than purple."

Lily nodded, "I agree."

Peter spoke up, "Why?"

Lily got a mischevious glint in her eye that neither boy had seen before, "I think I'm gonna pay Snape and Malfoy back."

Remus did a double-take on Lily, "W-what?"

Lily looked over at Remus batting her eyelashes, "You don't really think I'd let them get away with that, do you? I may not be good with confrontation, but I am good at pulling pranks."

"You like to pull pranks?" Remus asked.

"Of course. I didn't live next door to James for three years for nothing. He and I always used to prank Snape." Lily answered.

"But do you know the spell?" Peter asked.

She nodded, "Yup. I read a little further into my Charms book than necessary." she took out her wand, "Do you see which boat they're in?"

Remus looked around then nodded, "That one over there. I think Sirius and James are in it also."

"Awww. I feel sorry for them. I'll try not to hit them with the spell." she took careful aim and said a few words under her breath. The next thing anyone knew, Snape and Malfoy's hair had grown a little longer, turned a hot pink color, and tied itself in braids. Everyone who were close enough to see them burst out laughing. James and Sirius were leaning on each other for support, laughing so hard they started to cry. Snape and Malfoy were looking around to see who had done it. When they spotted Lily with her wand out, she smiled sweetly and waved. James and Sirius saw all this and, if possible, laughed even harder. The two pink-heads were just glaring and shaking with rage.

Lily turned back to the boys in the boat and said calmly, "Phase one: complete."
