A/N Hey guys thanks for all the reviews but I'll talk about that at the end. Some reviewers said I should have more of the Marauderers in it and now that I think about it I fully agree. What kind of decent story doesn't have a bit more of them in there. So I was thinking about how I was going to manage it because this is Lily's POV, so I just figure I'll attempt a James POV this chapter so I can get more of them in… If that works out and you guys like it then I can do like Sirius POV's etc….. anyway on with the story!
Chapter 5-
James' POV:
James slowly opened his eyes, but quickly shut them again when the light hit them. He had a splitting headache. He tried to remember last night, but it was all a blur. He gave up trying to think because it hurt his head to much.
"Padfoot" James moaned doing the first thing that came to his head. Sirius had never gotten a hangover in his life. Right now he would feel fine, unlike him.
"Yes prongs", Sirius said with way to much enthusiasm.
"Hangover potion" James managed to groan out through gritted teeth.
"Does that mean you want hangover potion?" Sirius asked
"YES"
"How much do you want it?" Sirius asked with a smirk on his face.
"Right now I'll do anything"
"Anything?"
"Yes Padfoot, ANYTHING, if you can just make this god forsaken headache go away"
Sirius went away for a few minutes then came back holding a parchment with writing on it in one hand and a bottle in the other.
"Ok sign right here and you can get the potion" Sirius said
"I can't open my fucking eyes because I have such a splitting fucking headache. Just give it to me"
Sirius picked up James' hand and said "ok just sign"
James did his best just so he could get the potion. Once he signed Sirius gave him the potion and he drank it immediately. He grimaced a bit because of the taste but he instantly felt 100 better.
"Thank you so much for that, by the way what did the parchment say?"
Sirius handed James the parchment and watched in amusement as James read it.
I, James Potter, swear that I will not have sex, or do any kind of sexual acts with a female for one month. If I fail in doing so, I will enter the annual lap of the great lake, and swim the whole lap butt naked.
"Oh my god, you can't be serious"
"I-"Sirius was cut off by James saying "ok I shouldn't have said that. I am not in the mood to hear one of your Sirius/Serious jokes. But come on this is stupid. All I wanted was some hangover potion.
"But you said you would do ANYTHING for some. And this is anything. But who cares, don't you think you can manage it?" Sirius teased
"Of course I can"
"Then what's the big deal?"
………………………………………………….
Remus and Peter came into the dormitory, obviously coming back from breakfast and sat on the floor next to Sirius and James.
"Hey guys, how do you feel after last night James?" Remus asked
"Don't ask" James said then added, "what actually happened last night, it was all kind of a blur to me?"
"Well it all started when Sirius got the smart idea of going to that new club that opened in Hogsmeade. We snuck into Hosgmeade and I don't know how you guys managed it but you and Sirius managed to talk, or should I say beg, the owner into letting us into the club and we got in and James, you spend practically the whole night at that massive bar they had and you got yourself seriously pissed" Remus started explaining
"And you did hook up with a seriously hot blonde and you spend most of the night with her!" Sirius said.
"Yeah and then Sirius got himself pretty pissed as well but nowhere near as bad as you James, and then Peter and me spent practically the whole night on these nice couches they had, because we figured someone had to get the two of you back here" Remus finished explaining.
"Oh well thanks then guys" James said.
"Yeah thanks. Anyway guess what James and I just did?" Sirius said
"What, what?" Peter said excitedly
"Ok calm down Peter. Well James said he would do anything for a hangover potion and I decided to use this to my advantage. So look at the agreement we have come to" Sirius said while handing the parchment over to Remus
Remus read it and started laughing then handed it to Peter who also started laughing.
"James, I hate to say it but I have a feeling you will be swimming in that race butt naked. I'll be nice and enter to, to give you moral support. But I will be swimming in my swimmers." Remus said amused.
"Whatever. Anyway changing the subject, guys I just realised we haven't done a serious prank this whole year." Said James
"Oh my god Prongs, you're right. Those new first years would already be in a false sense of security." Said Sirius.
"I know, what were we thinking? The first years wouldn't even know who the Marauderers are." James said.
"Yes and that is a total tragedy now isn't it?" Remus said sarcastically
"Yes" both James and Sirius said at the same time.
"Those first years, and the whole school, might be starting to think that they are totally safe, and maybe some of them might be thinking that their in control of this place. It's a total tragedy. What will people do to amuse themselves without us? They would be so bored. That's what we must stop. We have to think of the mother of all pranks so people remember us." Sirius said.
"Um Sirius might I just remind you that James is head boy and I'm prefect" Remus said.
"First of all James isn't head boy yet, not for another… 6 days! And second when has authority ever stopped us?" Sirius said.
"Yeah I'm with Sirius; just maybe it doesn't have to be the mother of all pranks." James said.
"Ok fine maybe it doesn't have to be them mother of all pranks, how about the brother or sister or even the uncle." Sirius said.
"Wait I don't even understand what we are arguing about" Peter finally spoke up and said something.
"Oh Peter you never understand!" Sirius said casually.
"Hey that's mean…. I think." Peter said.
"Whatever, so what are we going to do for our prank?" Remus said.
"We could dye everybody on the Slytherin tables' hair fluoro green or pink." Suggested James.
"No James, don't you remember we did that in fifth year. Come on you are usually good at this." Sirius said.
"Ok we could ummm transfigure everyone's clothes. Or like make all the girls clothes disappear or something." James said
"Oh my god. You just gave me an awesome idea, no offence but yours was shit, anyway, ok you know like in nightmares how you are doing something then you look down and realise you are actually naked and then you freak out. Well how about we do that sort of thing to Snape, or even the whole Slytherin table. They will look down and think they are naked, but really they are fully clothed. So they start acting stupid and they look crazy!" Sirius said excitedly.
"I don't think-"
"I think it's a perfect idea" James said cutting Peter off.
"How are we actually going to do this? I don't know about you guys but I have no idea how to do something like that." Remus said.
"Yeah what would it even be, like a charm, transfiguration or potion?" Peter asked.
"Well I think a charm should do it, it should just be a kind of glamour." James said.
"But how will we find out how to do it?" Sirius asked.
"Library" Remus said.
"Oh no, no no no no. I have avoided that place for the last 6 years. I am not going in there now. It scares me. All the books, all the learning. NO!" Sirius said while starting to panic.
"Ok I'm with Padfoot. So who do we know that is really good at charms?" James asked
"Lily, that new girl. She is really good at charms." Remus said.
"I don't know, she is one of those girls" Sirius said referring to Alex, Caz and Sarah. The only girls that hate them and the only girls that can resist their charms.
"Maybe we should give it a shot, when she is alone. And maybe not all of us go, maybe just one. I'll go, I don't mind" James said.
"You just want to do it because she is one of the few women in the female population at this school who you haven't shagged and because she is hot!" Sirius said
"Oh piss off Padfoot. I'm just doing it because I have met her before and our brief meeting went well last time." James said.
"You mean your 30 second conversation on the platform?" Sirius teased.
"Whatever, I'll go and look for her now and hopefully she is alone." Said James.
………………………………………………….
James was in luck when he went down to the great hall for breakfast and found Lily there, miraculously all alone. James went down there and sat across from her.
"Hey" James said.
Lily winced a bit at the loud voice, but quickly recovered and said "can I help you?"
"Yes you can actually. Well you see-"
"You no what, I don't really care, the correct answer to that question was no, I can't help you." Lily snapped, interrupting him.
"Ok look how about"
"No, you look. I don't want to help you with whatever you want me for, and right now your voice is giving me and even bigger headache." Lily said interrupting him yet again.
Why is she being so stubborn, I thought we got along well on the platform, I thought there might have even been something between us. But I spose' I was wrong. Or maybe it's her friends. James thought to himself.
"Hangover? What were you doing last night?"
"Well that's none of your business"
"How about this, if I get you some hangover potion, will you do a small favour for me?"
"Well that depends what the 'small favour' is. And I am NOT going out with you, if that was the favour" Lily said thinking she knew just what he was going to ask.
"No that was not my question, for your information. What I wanted to know was if you will use your wonderfully advanced charms skills to help us."
"What would you need my help with?"
"Ok well you see, since you are new here you don't know anything about my friends and I."
"Oh no, I have heard a lot about you and your friends."
"Really, what" James asked happily.
"That you are all man whores, dickheads, treat women like shit, have new girlfriends every week, pick on people that aren't as good as you. And the list goes on." Lily said.
"No, no no no. You see your friends have us all wrong. Well, you might be right with some of those things, but you were mostly wrong. Now hear me out. My friends and I like to do small pranks on people who deserve them. Like the Slytherins for example. Now right now we are planning this wonderfully fabulous prank, where at dinner tonight, we will hopefully be playing a wonderful prank a few 'special' Slytherins where we put a glamour of some sort on them. They will look down and will think or see that their totally naked, but really they have all of their clothes on. Like in nightmares how you look down and you are totally naked. And that is where you come in. We have noticed how very talented you are in the art of charms, and not just the charms that we learn at school. But right now that is what we need your help in. Can you help us?" James asked
"Why should I?"
"Well first of all, those speeches take a lot of time to think up, and I think that was pretty damn good and I put a lot of time and effort into it, and second I do believe you can use some hangover potion." James said.
"You know I really don't care how long it took you to come up with a stupid speech and I don't care about hangover potion. I just want you out of my face."
"Come on Lil', please?"
"Ok look the only reason I am about to do this is to get you out of my face and to get rid of this fricken headache."
James looked like Christmas had come early when she said this then he said "ok, meet me in the common room in 5 minutes, I'll go grab your potion."
"Ok, whatever" Lily said while smiling inwardly to herself.
………………………………………………….
James walked over to Lily who was sitting on a couch. He handed her a bottle with a potion it, then said.
"Ok so what is the spell?" James said.
"Wait I don't trust this, is this really a hangover potion. How can I trust you?" Lily asked.
"Ok drink it and if you don't feel 100 better then you don't have to give me the spell." James said.
Lily agreed and drunk it and suddenly felt better. She didn't feel sick. She didn't have a headache. She didn't feel seedy. She actually did feel 100 better.
"Ok so the charm is Nakedareous. Just point your wand at them and whisper that. Make sure you don't move your wrist at all or anything. It's pretty simple and should work." Lily said.
"Thank you so much Lil'. Tonight will be hilarious!" James said.
"Oh, yes it will!" Lily said.
James walked back into his dormitory and met back up with Sirius, Remus and Peter.
"Guess what guys, I got it! I just used a bit of the Potter charm and she was all over me. She agreed. The charm is Nakedareous, just point your want and them, no wrist movements, and say it." James told them.
"Awesome" Said Sirius.
………………………………………………….
Later that night all four boys were sitting at the Gryffindor whispering there plans through.
"Ok so all four of us do a whole section of the Slytherin table. Peter you do from Knott, all the way to the end on the right. Sirius you do from Knott to Malfoy, Remus you do from Malfoy to Goyle. And I'll do from Goyle to the end." James said.
"On the count of three. One. Two. Three. Nakedareous" All four boys whispered the last bit.
The four boys were concentrating so hard on the Slytherin table they didn't notice anything going on around them.
"I don't think it worked. Nobody is doing anything. Surely they would have noticed by now." Sirius said.
"I swear Snape is looking down at his feet right now, don't you think he would have noticed if it actually worked?" Remus said.
"Uuuh guys" said Peter
"What do you want Wormtail" Sirius said
"Uuuh- look um down" Peter said.
"What the fuck?" Sirius said first when he looked down. He was totally naked. All four boys were.
"Wait no, the spell just backfired. We can't really be naked. We're not. It's just an illusion. A glamour." James said, trying to convince himself more then anyone else.
Lily, who was sitting opposite the Marauderers, looked over to James and said "great look James, really suits you."
"We know it's not real. It's an illusion for your information. We are not that stupid" Sirius said.
"Padfoot, if it was just an illusion why can we see EACH OTHER" Remus said.
"Oh SHIT. It's real. This is like a nightmare come true. What are we going to do?" Sirius asked, starting to panic, thank god everyone was busy eating and not looking in their direction. They were sitting on the very end of the Gryffindor table.
"Good work Lil', I'm so proud of you. You are so smart!" Sarah said.
"Oh piss off" James said.
"Hey Sarah, look I'm begging you, can I borrow your Gryffindor robes, just for now. Please. I really didn't want to go along with this. I thought it was mean, but the others forced me into it. Please Sarah. I will make it up to you if you just do me this one favour" Remus said, trying to give Sarah his best puppy dog eyes.
Sarah looked at Alex, Caz and Lily with a look that clearly said 'should I?'
"Yeah, Remus is nice and deserves it. He is the only one out of that group though" said Alex.
Slowly more and more heads were starting to turn in the Marauderers direction. People were starting to go silent while looking at them. Or in the girls case, staring. Remus quickly slipped the robes on and looked almost normal. While James, Sirius and Peter looked very… strange. Although you could only see their chests, the rest was left to their imagination. Alex whispered to the others and said "it's pay back time!"
"SIRIUS, JAMES AND PETER. WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?" Alex shouted out.
The whole great hall then turned to look at them. James did some very quick thinking and transfigured some hair on a certain part of himself into pants. He was so relieved when it actually worked, but it did hurt a fair bit, it felt like waxing. He then proceeded doing the same on Sirius and Peter. Ew I really wish I didn't have to see that or do that. My god Peter is a pinner. James thought to himself. Sirius looked at him with a thankful look on his face and James whispered "don't mention it".
By now most of the hall was looking at them wondering what was going on, and why those boys didn't have any shirts on. Sirius and James acted like there was nothing abnormal going on and they were meant to be doing it, but Peter was feeling very self conscious and looking around everywhere. And so he should have been, James and Sirius and perfect abs and 6 packs, whereas Peter just had flab.
James whispered to Sirius "I have an idea" and then pointed his wand toward the roof and said "heatamurus". They only recently learned that spell. It is a heating spell for if you are cold, but it can be powerful enough to heat a whole room if you put enough energy into it. Sirius got the idea and also whispered "heatamurus", and slowly but surely the heat of the room started steadily starting to rise. Soon it was up around 35°C. Everyone was starting to take their robes off because of the heat. Even some of the teachers were taking their robes off. But still none of the teachers had noticed James', Sirius' or Peters new uniforms.
The next thing that happened was that Greg Hemmingway, a sixth year Gryffindor who was sitting near the Marauderers, took his shirt off. He always was a kind of sheep to the Marauderers, but he was still hot nonetheless and did have a good chest. Then amazing all off his friends started taking off their shirts, and before they knew it, half of the male population had done it. The Marauderers started cracking up. This was hilarious. Alex, Lily, Sarah and Caz were just staring at the Marauders; they really thought they had them this time.
James saw this and leant over and said, "Nobody can prank the pranking kings."
Professor McGonagall had had enough. She stood up and shouted "alright that is enough. Coolamurus", instantly the great hall went back to the original temperature, "James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. I know you four had something to do with this, so you four will be receiving detentions. See me after dinner in my office. And for god sakes, all of you put your tops back on; it is not a pretty sight from up here."
"But Professor" Sirius started but was cut off my Professor McGonagall saying "I don't want to hear it Mr Black"
Sirius grumbled a reply and then looked at the girls sitting across from them, and looked at their faces which looked amused.
"This means war" Sirius said through gritted teeth to Alex, Caz, Lily and Sarah.
"So what is this, our 234th or 235th detention? I have lost count." James said.
"You're hopeless, it's 236th." Sirius said.
"How could I forget? They used to be so boring until we made those mirrors. I don't know how we used to survive them." James said.
"Hey guys what are you going to do, you kind of don't have a shirt on and don't even have one…." Remus said
"Simple solution" Sirius said as he walked over to Miranda, a sixth year Gryffindor. When he came close, Miranda looked up at him at him and blushed, he was walking straight for her. Sirius then sat down on the bench next to her.
"Hey Miranda" Sirius said
"H-Hey Sirius" Miranda said.
"Do you want to go out with me?" Sirius said.
"Are you serious?"
"That's my name, don't ware it out"
"Haha you are so funny, I would love to go out with you" She said.
"Great" Sirius said then leaned down and snogged her. Sirius pulled back and then said "hey could I borrow your robes, my shirt has kind of…. Disappeared."
"Yeah sure, anything you want. But do you have to put something on, you look so good without anything on" Miranda said.
"Yeah I know, but McGonagall is making me, sorry, listen I have to go back and sit with me friends, cya later" Sirius said
"Bye baby" Miranda said.
Sirius walked back to his friends and realised that James and miraculously, Peter to, had managed to get themselves some robes.
"I see that you are now going out with Miranda" James said.
"Yeah, I am seriously getting sick of girls being all over me, I just wish there could be a normal girl that I can go out with. Anyway you went out with her last year didn't you? Was she a good shag?" Sirius asked James
"Yeah she was ok, but my best was still Sue, that Slytherin girl." James said.
"Yeah I will have to get around to her, anyway I'm full, lets go back to the common rooms."
"Yeah ok"
