Beauxbaxtons to Hogwarts

Disclaimer: Wish they were mine, I could become so rich. Think of all the money I could spend *money eyes*

Author's Note: I know that it said Drama on my story but it's not drama anymore right? *sigh* I'll try to get it more dramaish. Cool, new word. I've also noticed I don't do cliffhangers! I need to be more evil!

Summary: Lily suffers at her old school so she decides to run away. She came to Hogwarts under an alias name hoping to make friends somewhere else. However, she was wrong. She met James and his gang and they decide to play pranks on her just for the fun of it. But will James's feelings change as well as Lily's?

Chapter 4- Mudblood

Lily grumbled under her breath as she stormed out of the Great Hall. 'I can't believe them! How could they just prank me like that? Those bloody bastards. I don't understand why everyone thinks they're high and mighty when I think they're as low as the Slytherins.' She kept thinking dark thoughts about the Marauders that she didn't realize who she had bumped into.

"Watch where you're going mudblood." Lily heard a cold voice drawl out. She looked to see boy with white blond hair and icy, stormy grey eyes.

"I-I'm sorry." She stuttered, startled at how cold he could be towards muggle-born. He only sniffed disapproving at Lily before continuing on his way. She shook her head and continued on her way.'What the hell was that all about?'

She reached the Gryffindor common room and sighed as she sat down on the velvet couch. 'I thought a new school would change but it seems it's just like Beauxbaxtons.' She rolled her eyes and opened the book she was reading during lunch. 'At least Adrianna Sutton was adored by all. She even got some jealous looks. I wish I could be like her.' She closed her eyes and shut the book. A bitter laugh emitted from her lips.

"Oh Lily, how naiive you could be. You know no one would like a bookworm. Stop dreaming." She then blinked. "I'm even talking to myself! How lonely am I?" She shook her head before resuming back to her novel.

--------------------

James started laughing at a joke that Sirius had started telling to Remus, James, and Wormtail. They entered the common room and noticed Lily reading. James looked at her heatedly while Sirius coughed quietly. Remus took out his book whenever an awkward situation came upon James and Peter only squeaked. Apparantly, Lily had heard Sirius cough and turned to see James glaring angrily at her.

"May I help you?" She said in her calm voice before looking back at the book. She squinted realizing that the words were all jumbled up. 'Be calm Lily, that's it. It doesn't matter that someone is looking at you menacingly, just be calm.'

James only gave out a small growl before stomping upstairs to the boys' dormitories with his friends trailing at his heels. Remus however stayed behind and sat beside Lily. Lily pretended not to notice him by hiding her face behind her book.

"Violet." He said in a sincere voice. Lily looked at him by the corner of her eyes.

"Yes? I know that I'm aware of my name." To Lily's surprise, Remus chuckled before shutting his book.

"Yes I do know too. All I'm going to tell you is that it's not your fault that James is angry at you. He's been a very arrogant boy ever since he arrived at Hogwarts. You musn't blame yourself for any damage he's done to you." Lily stared at Remus and noticed dark circles under his eyes. She also noticed that he looked very tired.

"Oh, I do know that. That boy just needs to learn some manners and needs some discipline. Tell me, what do his parents do when he's being punished?" Remus only shook his head. "You mean to tell me, that he's never been punished."

"There are some...circumstances where some people do not believe in punishment. Those people are James's parents." Lily snorted a laugh and rolled her eyes. Remus arched a brow at Lily. "And may I ask what is so amusing?" Lily carelessly waved a hand as if to dismiss it.

"Oh, it's nothing. He seems like a little spoiled brat. If he had my parents, he would be punished straight away. I'm surprised he isn't expelled what with all those pranks he does." Remus chuckled.

"Yes, he does seem to be the spoiled brat. He does recieve many detentions though for his awful actions. It seems that the teachers do not believe in the beliefs of James's parents." Lily surpressed a chuckle but her eyes danced with laughter. "I must go now. James might be a little angry that I seemed to be fraternizing with the enemy." At that, Lily raised an eyebrow at Remus. "I-I mean, well, you know what I mean. Conversation with enemies are highly illegal to James's rule book. Good day Violet." He blushed as he quickly walked upstairs.

"Good day Remus." She whispered before walking up to her dormitory and collecting her books to her next class.

--------------------

Next Day

Lily hummed a song as she walked to Transfiguration. 'It's amazing. I haven't been pranked once by James Potter and his gang and here I am, safe and sound while walking to Transfiguration.' She checked her textbook to see if her notes were still there and never noticed 3 figures sneaking up on her.

"Oh!" Lily cried out when she was covered in green goop. 'Gross! What in the world is this?!?'

"POTTER! BLACK! PETTIGREW! GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!" She could hear 3 voices cackling and footsteps as they ran away. Lily sighed as she pointed her wand to herself to make the goop disappear.

What was odd though that she couldn't move her hands. They were stuck to her textbooks. She couldn't even grab her wand. Lily groaned as people stared at her, some laughing and some staring at her sympathetically.

She stood there for a full hour when Professor McGonagall walked down the hall and noticed Lily stuck, rooted on the spot, covered with green goop. She sighed.

"The Marauders I'm sure." Lily couldn't nod nor move her lips but her eyes were pleading as Professor McGonagall tried to think of a spell to rid of the goop. "Ah, now I know what it is." She clearly said the spell and the green goop was gone leaving Lily free and relieved.

"Thank you Professor McGonagall. I'm sure you understand why I was late or rather absent from class." Professor McGonagall smiled.

"Yes, I'm sure we both know why. Well, off to give detentions and take points away. My house of all houses." She sighed. Before she left, Lily called out,

"Wait, um, is it alright that I know what my homework is?" Lily felt embarrassed as she stared at the Professor.

"Of course." As Professor McGonagall explained what her homework was, Lily noticed James and Sirius laughing at Lily. She frowned and thanked Professor McGonagall.

"My pleasure Lily." Lily's eyes widened and her face drained of colour as Professor McGonagall stared confused. "Oh, terribly sorry, it's just that you resemble Lily very much." Lily nodded.

"She-she's my cousin. I heard of her disappearance and my parents as well as her parents are extremely disappointed with her." Lily bit her lip as she lied. She then sighed. "I hope we figure out where she might be."

"Yes, yes. Very true. Well, I think you're off to your next class." Lily nodded and waved good-bye as she headed off to History of Magic with Professor Binns.

She was about to enter the classroom when James stopped her. Lily whirled around and came face to face with him. She narrowed her eyes as she snatched her arm away from his grip.

"What do you want Potter?" She asked coldly. He smirked and crossed his arms.

"I have a little proposition for you." She arched a brow as she too crossed her arms and tapping her foot impatiently.

"Oh? And what might that be?" James gave out a coy smile before twirling his wand around and dangerously pointing at Lily. He automatically ran his hand through his hair. A habit he had gotten when he was a child.

"I shall drop the prankfest idea if you go out with me and admit that I'm the best and you're not." Lily stared shocked and gaped with her mouth open. "You know, it's not very appealing to have your mouth open like that. Flies might fly in your mouth you know." He sniggered while Lily glared.

"I'm not sure I like your bargain. First of all, I had no idea there would be a prankfest, second of all, why the hell would you want to date me?" James pondered for a moment recalling back what Sirius had said.

--------------------

Earliar That Day

"Jamesie ol' boy, have I got a bet for you!" James who was working on polishing his broomstick sighed as he dropped his rag on the table.

"What?" He asked irritably, noting that Sirius was jumping on the couch like a madman. He continued to jump until James stood up and shook Sirius until he stared dazed. He groaned and clutched his head.

"What'd you do that for?" He moaned as he rubbed his head trying to rid the pain. James only rolled his eyes and sat down on the couch.

"You wanted to tell me something?" He said stating the obvious. Within a second, Sirius grinned cheekily that made girls swoon.

"Oh right. Well, I'm getting a bit bored so I decided to propose a bet." James grinned mischieviously.

"Oh? And what kind of bet is it?"

"You have to date Violet for a month and take her to the dance." James wrinkled his nose with disgust. "Oh, you also have to make out with her."

"What are the stakes?" At that, Sirius chuckled taking out a small pouch that gingled with coins. Galleons to be precise.

"90 galleons." James's eyes widened as he opened the grey pouch and his eyes flashed with gold as he stared at them. He and Sirius had come from a rich family so it was no surprise that Sirius had that much money with him.

"It's a deal." He and Sirius shook hands and James grinned as he threw the money bag in the air and caught it with his right hand.

--------------------

"Well?" The menacing voice brought James back to life. He shrugged his shoulders bringing out a cheeky smile.

"Is it against the law to ask someone out on a date?" Lily arched a brow at him before pushing him out of the way.

"In my world it is." She said coldly and entered the classroom leaving James stunned that a girl had actually rejected him. Usually, it was him that says no. 'Bit tempermental for someone with black hair. You'd think she was actually a red-head.' With that, he shook his head angrily until he remembered what Sirius had said or rather sang.

"You have a week Jamesie buddy before the gold is mine once again, doubled." James ran his hand through his hair and groaned as he entered the classroom too. 'A full bloody week to convince that girl to go out with me. Just bloody great.'

He sat down next to Sirius who was trying to charm Amos Diggory's hair. He looked over at Lily who was cleaning her glasses before placing them back on. She then noticed James staring at her and narrowed her eyes before listening to Professor Binn drone on. 'No one turns me down. No one.' With that, he thought of a prank to literally scare her off for sure.

--------------------

Lily bit into the juicy red apple while reading her book. She always seemed to be reading a book these days. She shifted her bag so that it would stay put on her shoulder. While her eyes were distracted with her book and her bookbag, she didn't seem to notice that someone stood in her way, rooted in the spot.

"Oof!" Lily rubbed her head while sprawled on the ground. She sighed and grabbed her bookbag and her book and luckily, her apple was still in her hand. 'I'm always bumping into someone.' She rolled her eyes.

"I'd watch where I'm going next time mudblood." That cold voice was strangely familiar and Lily looked up to see James. Lily gasped at how cruel James could be. His eyes were flashing crossly. But, calling her a mudblood was downright low, especially for a Gryffindor.

"I'd watch it when saying foul words. You should be in Slytherin, going as low as calling me a mudblood." She spat out and with that, she stood up, dusting off imaginary dirt, flipping her hair and stalked off. "And for your information, you were in my way!" She called out before biting into her apple once more and reading her book.

James's eyes flashed angrily. 'I cannot believe that girl! I am through with her! I don't care about that stupid bet anymore. She wants a prankfest, she's got a prankfest!' James jammed his hands into his pockets while his mouth was in a frown and stomped off to find Sirius, Remus and Peter to make up new pranks for Lily or in this case, Violet Sarin.
