Ch 2 Glorious Detention

As Lily, James, and Sirius entered the girls bathroom, they all let out a groan. The place was a mess. A few of the pipes had been broken so water was flooding the floor, profanity had been written on the walls, and several of the doors to the stalls had been thrown around.

Deciding to start with the easy task first, the three of them began scrubbing down the walls. The stuff Peeves used stuck pretty good to the walls, so a lot of 'elbow grease' was used.

Finally, an hour later, all the walls had been scrubbed clean. Their arm muscles were sore, and it didn't look as if they had made much improvement. They moved on to their next task; repairing the pipes.

"How am I supposed to know how to repair pipes?" James said annoyed, as he tried to close a pipe and failed miserably. Big squirts of water kept shooting him in the face. James' hair and shirt were fully soaked.

"Let me try mate," Sirius offered.

Sirius took the wrench from James and attempted to fix the pipe. After examining the pipe, a look of comprehension dawned on Sirius' face. He began to unscrew one of the bolts. Suddenly, more water came pouring out.

"Oh, move!" Lily yelled shoving Sirius out of the way.

Lily yanked the wrench away from Sirius and tightened the bolt. A few more adjustments and the pipe was no longer leaking. Lily, who was thoroughly soaked, beamed at her handy work.

"Dang Evans," Sirius said. "Where did you learn to screw like that?"

James began laughing, and Lily just glared at him.

"I'm not even gonna answer that," Lily said.

They then moved on to the final task, putting the doors back on the stalls, which only took about five minutes. Looking around at the bathroom, it didn't look like the same room they had entered hours before. Happy that their work was finally done, Lily, James, and Sirius started heading towards the Gryffindor common room. They decided to get their wands from Professor McGonagall tomorrow morning.

"See Evans, detention isn't that bad," James said running a hand through his wet hair.

"Yea, I love spending time in a bathroom with two prats, and getting sprayed with water," Lily replied.

"But you look so hot when you're wet," James said as he put an arm around her shoulders.

Lily gave him a 'get your arm off me this second before I kill you' kinda look. James didn't pay any attention though. He kept his arm around Lily and began talking to Sirius.

Lily, who felt a little out of place, suddenly noticed how good James smelt. No, Lily thought. This is James Potter. The boy you despise. Yea, but he does smell good...

"Lily?" James asked.

"Huh?" Lily said.

"Were you just sniffing me?" James asked grinning.

"No," Lily said a slight blush creeping up her cheeks.

"Yes, you were!" James exclaimed. "Hey Padfoot, Lily was just smelling me!"

"Really?" Sirius said. "Does old Jamesie smell devilishly yummy?"

Lily rolled her eyes and couldn't help but smile. The two guys that she had called egotistical, conceited, prats, were actually pretty funny.

"No, I was not smelling James," Lily said.

"Alright Evans. Whatever you say," Sirius said shrugging.

Upon reaching the common room, James and Sirius said goodnight to Lily, and then they all headed to their separate dormitories.

Lily entered her dorm, changed into her pj's, and looked over at Kylie's bed. Seeing that Kylie was awake, Lily went over to her friend's bed and plopped down on it.

"Hey Lils," Kylie said, putting down her magazine. "How was your detention?"

"We had to clean up the girls bathroom on the third floor. Peeves totally trashed it. Took us three hours to finish," Lily replied.

"How were James and Sirius?" Kylie asked.

"You know, Potter and Black aren't half bad," Lily replied.

"Someone's got a crush!" Kylie exclaimed.

"I do not!" Lily protested. "Just because I said that they're actually decent does not mean I have a crush on either of them."

"Which one would you pick?" Kylie asked.

"Pick who for what?" Lily said confused.

"If you had to date James or Sirius, who would you pick?" Kylie asked.

Lily thought for a moment. "Neither," she answered.

"You have to pick one!" Kylie said.

Lily thought some more, weighing out each of the guy's pro's and con's. Potter had the looks, the smarts, (when he decided to use them), and the humor; while Sirius had the looks, the humor, and a sensitive side (only used when no one was looking). But both of them were conceited, both cursed anyone they didn't like just because they got bored, and both were certified man whores.

"I think I'd pick Potter," Lily said finally, shuddering at the thought.

"Ooo!" Kylie squealed. "You guys would be so cute together!"

"I do not like him," Lily said. "I only chose because you said I had too."

"Whatever," Kylie said grinning.

Lily, looking for a way to change the subject, said, "Oh, and I gave some thought to doing that made thing."

"Really?" Kylie asked.

"Yea," Lily said. "I'm gonna do it. It'll probably be a lot of fun."

"Good," Kylie said. "Cause I already sent an owl telling them that you'd be happy to be made."

"What!" Lily exclaimed.

"Well, I just had your best interests at heart Lils," Kylie said smiling.

"Yea, I'm sure," Lily replied. "Good night Kylie."

"Night," Kylie said.

The next morning, after getting her wand back from Professor McGonagall, Lily went to the Great Hall for breakfast. She took a seat next to Kylie and began eating her eggs and bacon. Lily glanced up, and saw that James was staring at her. He gave her a quick wink and went back to his conversation with Sirius.

Guys are weird, Lily thought. Especially James.

Just then hundreds of owls came flying into the Great Hall, each searching for it's owner. A large tawny owl landed on the table in front of Lily. Since she wasn't expecting any mail, Lily wondered who would writing to her. She tore the letter off, gave the owl a piece of her bacon, and began reading her letter.

Dear Lily Evans,

Thank you for participating in Made. We are pleased to announce that you have been chosen as one of the few people who gets to make their dream a reality. You will meet your Made coach today. Good luck!

"I'm gonna be made," Lily said to Kylie.

"Awesome!" Kylie exclaimed. "Oh, you never told me what you want to be made into."

Lily smiled. "You'll see soon enough."

"Lils! You have to tell me!" Kylie exclaimed.

Lily shook her head. "It's a surprise, and anyway I probably won't be able to do it."

"Yes, you will," Kylie insisted. "You're the smartest witch here; if you can't do it then there's no hope for the rest of us."

"Thanks Kylie," Lily said.

A/N- Thank you to everyone that reviewed! You guys rock! Keep then comin! Here are a few reviewer responces...

Jersey Princess- Made is a television show on MTV. That's where I got the idea for this story. It's when a person wants to try something that they normally wouldn't do. Like a cheerleader wanting to learn how to skateboard or a tomboy wanting to become prom queen. Hope that answers your question!

Detective Faith Boscorelli- I'm glad you like the story, and thank you very much for your help! Your idea came in handy!

misturi grl- Well, in the beginning, Peter was sleeping, and then I just sorta forgot about him. I really don't like him so he probably won't be featured a lot in this story. But, since he is/was one of their closest friends I guess I should put him in a little more...

boattoy- I updated! wee! lol

kateof08- Please pick up my poo! lolz! Lily does love/hate James. Right now you're only seeing the hate, but we all know the love is coming.

BrazilianPrincess- I actually thought about that for a very long time. First I thought about having some random stranger being her made coach, but then I thought about maybe James. Still haven't fully decided yet, but you shall know soon!
