Disclaimer: blah blah yada yada I don't own Harry Potter.
A/N: Thanks for all the GREAT reviews!!!! WOW it's good to know I'm not the only one totally pissed at JK for killing our sexy Sirius…hee hee Back to the Future did make sense though…and ya to answer you're question Blue-oyster-cult, the tall boy with the cold voice was Evan Rosier.
"Well well, there is the bushy head know-it-all," came a nasty voice, and Hermione decided to ignore it, and it seemed like Lily did as well.
"Gosh Evans you have bad taste in friends…oh wait, sorry I forgot, you're a Know-it-all Mudblood too!" said an even nastier voice.
"Watch it Marcia, I'm a prefect!" Lily said without looking up, and continued reading.
"So what Evans? I'm a prefect too," said a new if possible NASTIER than the first two, and rather familiar voice, and this time Lily looked up, and Hermione decided she might as well.
There stood three girls, two were rather ugly with long faces and hardly any eyelashes, round eyes, and limp thin hair. Then there was the 3rd girl who was nothing short of gorgeous, with long thick black hair, large wild shaped dark eyes, sharp cheekbones, and the longest eyelashes Hermione had ever seen. However somewhere between the heavy dark makeup and the ugly grimace on the girl's face, the beauty could have easily been over looked, by fear…if anything she reminded Hermione of the street punks her parents used to warn her about.
"Bellatrix Black…don't you have friends your own age?" Lily asked cocking up an eyebrow.
For a second the two girls stood their glaring at each other, and Hermione just stared at the other girl in surprise, and with a pang something hit her…she must be a cousin of Sirius' Hermione thought, looking her up and down, well she sure got the family good looks as well. With another pang of understanding Hermione realized another thing as well…her voice so familiar…she was one of the death eaters they'd fought with in the Ministry of Mysteries!
"You got a pretty big mouth for a mudblood Evans," Bellatrix sneered now her face too close for comfort to Lily's, "you better watch your back…we Slytherins don't allow shit, know what I mean?"
"Oh Black don't tell me that's supposed to scare me…ooooh the Slytherin ghouls are after me…woopdidoo! Tell someone who cares!!!" Now Lily turned back to her book, as though Bellatrix face wasn't inches from hers.
"But you should be Evans…because when we're done with you, your worthless muggle mommy is gonna lose it…oh wait…you're now gonna run to your little stalker Potter aren't you? Cry for him to help you fight the big bad Slytherins," she laughed a high cold laugh, "what I don't get is why you keep trying to deny the losers love…don't wanna get caught for you're love potion…or is he just as big a loser as you???"
"FUCK OFF BLACK!!! Or should I remind you of all the times James and your dear cousin played you and your stupid Slytherin buddies??? Or maybe I should remind you of the time they beat you, and all the OLDER Slytherins in the dueling competition????? Hmmm…well if you call HIM a loser, than your…" Lily laughed and hers was even colder.
"Oh so you're sticking up for lover boy now, aaaaww how sweet…NOT," Bellatrix now looked really irritated, "my dear cousin and your boy toy are nothing but silly little boys, they won't be able to defend you against me!!!"
"If it's a fight you want Black, than bring it on!!! Friday night, 1 am, Quidditch pitch…and we bring everyone we know!" Lily said now standing up bringing her face even closer to Bellatrix's.
"You wanna die Evans, than be my guest! You're on…and don't you DARE chicken out…or you'll be VERY sorry!!!"
"Oh trust me Black…I've been waiting for this for a long time…I will be there, and you can bet every other Gryffindor will be there as well!!!!"
Hermione watched the two girls in aw, as they stood there for a few seconds, not blinking and glaring at each other and slowly, turned away. When Bellatrix and her two sneering friends were gone, Lily turned to Hermione smiling, her emerald eyes sparkling, and her face flushed with excitement.
"Finally that girl is gonna get a taste of what Gryffindors will do if you get them mad enough!!! Ooooh this is gonna be so great…we must go and tell everyone about it, I'm sure she will…but Gryffindors are smarter, and WAY braver," Lily rambled on now fixing her makeup.
"But you're a prefect," Hermione said suddenly, feeling as though Lily had let her down.
For a while Hermione had thought that finally she found another girl exactly like her, the two of them seemed to really hit it off, since they had so much in common. It was like finally finding a really close girlfriend, someone she thought she could share stuff with…like maybe even the way she felt about Ron…but now Lily had to ruin it all. She could've so easily avoided the whole situation, by simply ignoring the Slytherin girls…but she had actually STARTED A FIGHT!!!! Slytherins vs. Gryffindors was absolutely the worst kind of fight to start in Hogwarts!!!!
"Hermione," Lily seemed to have realized that something was wrong, "listen, that girl has been waiting to have a little Slytherin vs. Gryffindor fight ever sense her younger cousin got into Gryffindor and kept embarrassing the Slytherins in the school. That little episode you just saw, was just a little thing to start up sparks till she could think of a way to beat us in a fight before she graduates this year."
"That's no excuse to be the one that suggests it!" Hermione cried, ripping her eyes away from Lily's eyes.
"You're right!" Hermione looked at her, "it was wrong, and as a school Prefect I should have enough sense not to ever do such a thing! But Hermione, I've had enough of the Slytherins…especially ever since Voldemort took over the Ministry!!! They strut around the place being absolutely terrible, way worst than before, to all muggle borns and Gryffindors…it's enough to make me sick…so forget sense…this is pay back, or rather putting those arrogant losers back in their place for putting other people in the Hospital Wing!"
For a second Hermione just stared at Lily, whose eyes were burning with determination, so incredibly like Harry's…just before going off to fight something terrible. Realizing that there was no changing her mind, Hermione let her words sink in…and though she knew she would NEVER start nothing short of a war in Hogwarts, she knew for 1 thing it was unavoidable, and almost as though feeling Lily anger and passion she could almost understand it all. Weird, Hermione thought, I've grown so much and I'm only 16.
"I…I understand," Hermione not believing her own ears, as Lily beamed at her.
"Alright I've got work to do, I have to tell all the Gryffindors about this!" Lily quickly stood up and started gathering things, but when she began to walk away, Hermione called her.
"Lily," she said now getting up herself, "count me in!"
"'Moine," Lily said a large smile on her face, "would you like to help me?"
"Love to!"

Though what Sirius had gone through during lunch, he quickly managed to get back to his fun-loving self as he and Harry got back, and mixed the potion lighthearted and ready for major action. The two boys got back to History class together, and sat beside Ron and the rest of the Marauders smirking, not noticing that for the first time Lily and Hermione were paying absolutely no attention or taking notes, instead they were engaged in a deep excited conversation together.
After class all except Harry and Sirius headed off to the kitchens, but didn't take to long to get back, their arms full of food. Spreading it all on Remus' bed, (since James and Peters were too messy, Harry's and Ron's were too new for crumbs, and Sirius' sheets were too stained with bodily fluids!), everyone started pigging out, except Harry who was sure all the candy he and Sirius had that afternoon, was not yet digested.
For a while they gloated over their little prank, then the conversation turned to Quidditch, and James was absolutely ecstatic that Harry was a wonderful player, as Ron put it, making Harry turn red. When Harry said he too was a seeker, James looked as though he would do a cartwheel if he hadn't just eaten 30 pieces of cake, and told Harry he hadn't had real competition longer than he could remember. Harry too was excited when James said they should have a little challenge to decide who would be the seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, finally he would be able to see who was the better player him or his father!
Not too long later the 6 boys were practically running towards the Great Hall, not wanting to miss a single moment of their prank in action. They got there just in time as the food appeared on each house table and VERY hungry students, after their first day of class, dug in filling up their plates.
The six boys watched Rosier eagerly as he tried to fill up his plate, and froze as the food disappeared, he obviously thought he was imagining things, it was the 4th time he saw his food disappear before his jaw dropped. Same went for all the other Slytherins, most tried filling their plated quite a few times until it actually sunk in, and when it did they just stared at it for a while. What was even more hilarious was the look on their faces when they looked at the people beside them, and realize it was happening to everyone, and looked around frantically, only to realize all was normal for all other house tables.
After a while though the Slytherins had huddled together and realized what must have been happening, and it wasn't really hard to figure out, since only Sirius and James were practically falling off their chairs, laughing their heads off (Harry and Remus had enough sense to keep themselves from it at all costs, Peter was choking on his drink, and Ron had his fist in his mouth.)
"That's weird," Sirius said taking a deep breath still holding his stomach.
"What do you mean," Peter asked, whipping his mouth with his sleeve.
"The Slytherins are getting up and leaving the Great Hall," Sirius watched them curiously.
"So?" Ron shrugged.
"Usually they'd tell on us and watch as McGonagall yelled at us and gave us a month worth of detention…why did they just leave?" he sounded a bit annoyed, though Harry wasn't sure if it was because of Ron and Peter or the Slytherins acting odd.
"It's cause they don't want us to feel victorious, like what we did mattered or anything," said a rather familiar voice, though now it was rather cold.
"And why would they suddenly care how we feel as long James and I get loads of detentions?" Sirius looked at Lily suspiciously.
"Cause of what happed at lunch," Lily said, Harry looked at Hermione for answers, but she was staring at her shoes.
"What?" James said, exchanging surprised looks with the other guys.
"What did you do," Sirius said grinning at her.
"Um…actually it was you're cousin, she was being…herself. So anyway, I got pissed, and told her to meet me and the rest of the Gryffindors Friday at the Quidditch pitch!" Lily said now grinning a bit herself.
"You what?" Remus and Harry said at the same time looking horrified.
"Niiice! Who knew, Lily Evans miss prefect would actually start a fight between two houses!!!" Sirius said smirking at her.
"Wow! Evans, that's really cool," James said, after he finally managed to close his jaw.
"WOW isn't enough," Sirius got off his chair and bowed to Lily, "Queen Lily, you have now shown us you're GREATNESS…I beg you, to tell us…what shall we do for the war to come?" he took her hand and kissed it mockingly.
"Ha ha, very funny Black…but really you should really listen to my plans…it will help gather people for the fight!" Lily said pulling her hand away and whipping it on her robes glaring at Sirius and for some reason at James too.
"W-what? You mean we-we're going to fight ALL the Slytherins???" Peter looked horrified, and Harry couldn't help but feel a little bit of satisfaction at his pain, knowing very well that he was not evil yet.
"Well whoever shows up, anyway" Hermione said for the first time, now looking up.
"WOAH! YOU'RE in this too??? You're not gonna stop her…fight after school hours?" said Ron goggling at her.
"In case you haven't noticed, RON, I've never left my friends alone when they needed my help!" Hermione said her face flushed with anger.
"I didn't mean—" Ron began but was cut off by Sirius.
"VERY nice, two sexy Gryffindor rebels?" Sirius smirked.
"Jee thanks Sirius, I'm gonna start blushing now!" Lily said sarcastically.
"Actually I was talking about me and James!" Sirius said, then rubbed his arm after a punch from James, "man, Jamsie how long do you expect me to live like this? Huh? With you always in denial of our relationship!" and he got punched again.
"Hey I got an idea," Ron said suddenly, making everyone including James, who stopped glaring at Sirius, to stare at him, "since the Slytherins don't want to admit our pranks bother them, and won't tell on us…well we should do like a big prank on them everyday till Friday comes!"
"Hey, the kids' got a point…if we're not gonna get caught, then we should do what we love the most to help out," James said his boyish grin back.
"Hee hee, the Slytherins are gonna have it so bad until they finally crack," Sirius laughed his bark like laugh, "just watch how many shows up for the fight!"
"Actually Sirius, I got a feeling that they're coming up with their own pranks to play on us…they're stronger than you're giving them credit for!" Lily said, though glaring at James instead, "we can't get cocky, or we'll lose. Point is, the Slytherins are strong and smart…we're gonna need all the Gryffindors to have a chance at beating them!"
"Than let's get em!" James said throwing his fist in the air, making everyone stare at him, "it looked cool in my head," he mumbled turning a bit red.
"Uh, Prongsie, haven't you learned anything from me? NEVER LISTEN TO YOUR HEAD!!!!" Sirius bellowed in James' ear, "it will do you no good!"
"Only if it's malfunctioning, like yours!" Lily shot smirking.
"Ouch, that hurt!" Sirius clutched his heart, but then turned to the other guys grinning, "better leave now, Queen Evans is getting grouchy!"
A/N: Tell me what you all think…and I'll start up the pairing couples in the next chapters…so far you guys like the Remus/Hermione and Sirius/Hermione…please tell me who you'd like to have paired together!
