A/N: Okay the winner of last chapter's competition was citrus scented. Only two people got the right answer for that.

Chapter 13 – Confrontations

Lily and Sirius arrived in the Common Room the next morning wearing nothing but their underwear. The Common Room wasn't exactly full but it wasn't empty either and the students who were there stared at them as if they were crazy (which they most likely were). Sirius, being Sirius, bowed and grinned. Lily, however, blushed and tried to hurry past but then realized that the whole school was going to see her at breakfast anyway. She sighed and began to walk towards the portrait hole. As some of the guys began to wolf-whistle at her Lily blushed even harder but continued walking without looking at anyone, pretending that she couldn't hear anything.

Carly and the Marauders caught up to Lily about half way to the Great Hall. "Hey Lady Lily are you having fun cause I am," asked Sirius.

"You're having fun because all the girls in this school swoon at your feet when you're fully clothed so Sirius in boxers only triples the swooning. This is so very very embarrassing," Lily replied.

"Well Lily there is a way to get out of it," James said winking at Carly who got the message and played along.

"Yeah just tell us who you like and we'll let you go back upstairs and put your clothes on."

"Nope not telling. I'd prefer to wear this than give in easily to you two."

"Yeah," added Sirius, "And you want to see how many guys ask you out."

"Don't make me hit you Sirius dear," Lily said through gritted teeth and clenching her fist. Sirius looked genuinely scared. Obviously he had fallen victim to Lily's temper and violent tendencies before. The rest of the gang, including Lily, burst out laughing at the look of fear on Sirius' face.

"Come on Siri," said Lily, "Let's get this day over with already."

"Aye Aye Captain," Sirius replied and saluted Lily. Lily suddenly got an idea and grabbed Carly's arm. She whispered her idea to Carly then Carly grinned and nodded. They grabbed James and Remus and asked innocently, "Guys, mind if we have piggy back rides?"

James and Remus looked at each other with eyebrows raised then shrugged and said, "Whatever." Carly and Lily smirked identical smirks and hopped on James' and Remus' backs respectively (ie Carly got on James' back, Lily got Remus' back).

When they arrived in the Entrance Hall the gang saw a Hufflepuff girl. "Hey Nimmo!" they called to her in unison. Nimmo smiled and said "hello" and was about to walk on when she took another look at Lily, Carly and the Marauders.

"Uh guys," she said, "Umm what's with the underwear and piggy back rides?"

Lily, Sirius and Carly all grinned. "Well see last night we were playing truth or dare," Sirius explained, "And I refused to do a dare and Lady Lily refused to answer a truth question so this was our punishment."

"Okay that explains the underwear. Still not getting the piggy backs."

Lily and Carly smirked again and Carly beckoned Nimmo over. "James bend," she commanded. James rolled his eyes but did it anyway. Carly leant over and whispered, "This is to piss off the Hogwarts Bitches and make them completely jealous."

"Hogwarts Bitches?"

"Michelle and her blonde bimbos."

Nimmo grinned as well and stepped back. "Oh how I wish I could be there to see what they say but I have to go to the library. Have fun you two," she said.

Lily and Carly smirked and said, "Oh we will." They began cackling evilly.

"Are they crazy?" Peter whispered to Sirius.

"Completely."

Lily took her hands off Remus' shoulders and hit Peter and Sirius over the head. "It's not nice to whisper about people, you know. Even if it is true. Oh Peter, we are crazy," she said.

"Come on horses go," said Carly, "We've people to see," she winked at Lily, "And places to go."

"We're animals now?" James asked as the group walked into the Great Hall.

"You always were," Lily replied her voice dripping with venom.

James didn't have time to respond as the "Hogwarts Bitches", or otherwise known to everyone who wasn't Lily and Carly, Michelle, Anna, Sarah and Madeleine, came running up to the group. Lily and Carly hopped off of Remus and James and walked up to the blondes, whose attention had been on Sirius until now.

"What do you two think you're doing stealing our men?" Madeleine demanded.

"You don't deserve them," Michelle continued, "Filthy mudblood. And you're no better Ross. Spending all your time with a mudblood."

The Marauders glared at the blondes and Peter stepped in front of Lily and Carly. "Don't you dare call her a mudblood. Lily is a witch and a better one than any of you. No wonder you're known as the Hogwarts Bitches. It's cause you are," he stated. (A/N: Go Peter! Friendship before girls. I'm so proud.)

Michelle gasped from anger. "How dare you?!" Michelle shoved Peter to the floor.

"Oh that's it," said Lily and punched Michelle in the face.

Michelle, holding her bleeding nose, exclaimed "You broke my nose you bleeding cow!"

Of course by this time McGonagall had arrived on the scene. "Ms Evans detention for fighting."

"Thanks Minerva dear!"

"Make that two. Detention for you as well Ms Wilkins for name calling. Now go up to the hospital wing. The rest of you continue your breakfast." The Marauders, Lily and Carly sat down at the Gryffindor table and all began talking at once.

"Go Lily!"

"What a punch!"

"You actually broke her nose!"

"Unbelievable!"

"That showed the bloody bitch!"

"You'd think that she would've learnt not to piss me off after the last time I punched in the face," said Lily.

"You've punched her before?" asked Remus.

"Yeah in October this year. It wasn't long after mine and James' prank war started and she threatened me not to play any more pranks on James. I told her to move cause she was blocking my exit from the Common Room so I punched her. Stupid whore."

"Bloody cow," Carly stated, "She deserves more than just a fucking broken nose."

"She does," added James, "And as much as I'd like to, as you girls put it, 'bitch' about Michelle but we have to get to History of Magic."

"Excellent!" yelled Lily. Everyone looked at her as if she were mad. "What?" asked Lily, "History of Magic means I can go back to sleep."
