A/N: This chapter is a little longer than my first one—hope you like! Please R&R!
Summery: A/U What if Lilly Evans wasn't Miss. Perfect? What if she had a twin? Lilly Evans and her twin, Linzey Evans, have just transferred to Hogwarts from another magical school. They're in their second year and quite the troublemakers. James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin—the Mauderers—are in their second year at Hogwarts (Peter isn't in this fic) when two beautiful transfer students arrive. They're in for a surprise when the new students threaten their position of "troublemaking kings". Then James falls in love with one of their new enemies…The fun begins.
Chapter Two: It's Raining, It's Pouring
When the Hogwarts Express pulled up to the station it was pouring outside. The Mauderers had an excellent idea for the opening prank. It involved bewitching the ceiling of the great hall…this was going to be a great year for the Marauderers. They all got into one of the horseless carriages unaware that their "brilliant" plan had been over-heard.
Lily's P.O.V.
Liz and I quickly stepped away from the compartment beside us before the boys inside came out. We had just heard the "legendary"—what were they called? Marauderers, come up with a prank for the opening feast. Oh, will they be surprised when their little prank is added onto a bit. I smiled. We have always been little troublemakers, Liz and I.
We went towards the carriages instead of to the boats. In the letter the Headmaster sent us said we were to get to the feast early so as to be sorted before the rest. It was pouring down rain so we got soaked to the bone. Though, we quickly dried off with a small spell once we were inside our carriage. Inside we talked about what we were going to do to add to the Marauderers' surprise.
I stepped up to the stool that was waiting for me. Professor McGonagall was holding a hat—I guess it was the sorting hat I had heard about on the train. All eyes were on me; quite surprised that someone was getting sorted at this unusual time. I felt uneasy with all those eyes bearing through me. At my old school Liz and I went unnoticed—except for when we did a famous prank of ours.
The hat was put on my head, and it started talking. Yes, a hat talking. Interesting, very interesting. Hmmm…I think I know just where to put you…
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Strange, all the clapping even though everyone was surprised. I guessed the clapping table was where I was supposed to be, so I went and sat down across from a pale girl with big, brown eyes. She looked nice, so what the heck.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
I jumped a little at the sound of the sorting hat's voice, and Liz came and sat down beside me. I had totally forgot there for a minute that she had to be sorted as well.
Linzey's P.O.V.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Thank goodness I was with my sister! What would I do without Lil? We are like never apart. I sat down beside her, and across from us was a girl with big, brown eyes and long, brown hair. Boy was she pale!
Lil spoke up first, "Hello, I'm Lily Evans. This here is Linzey."
The girl looked surprised that anyone would want to talk to her. I knew how that felt. "Er—Rachel, Rachel Taylor." Though, before anyone of us could say anything else a group of what I took to be first years came in through the door. They looked more nervous than I did, which counts for something.
After Cassia Yetis was sorted into Slytherin, Professor Dumbledore gave a short speech and the feast began. Not long after this people at the Slytherin table started howling, I turned around and sure enough—like Lil and I expected—the rain from the ceiling started pouring on the Slyerins. Down the table a ways was the Marauderers, clearly pleased. But, oh, you should have seen those three's faces when Lil cast the spell that made anyone the rain touched have red and gold spots all over them. Everyone in the hall—except the Slytherins—were laughing at this.
Soon enough, the teachers managed to stop the rain but had no luck on getting the spots away. Lil is quite good at charms, and when she sets her mind to it even teachers have a hard time changing things back. Professor McGonagall stormed towards the Mauderers demanding an explanation.
"I know you three are responsible for this, so tell me how to get the spots away or you'll get even more detentions that I'm about to give you!"
The three boys looked up innocently. The one called James spoke, "But seriously, Professor, we had nothing to do with the spots. No joke, because that is bloody brilliant. We would have been bragging about it if it was us." I had a glimpse of Lil smile with this comment. Bloody brilliant, huh?
I could tell that McGonagall was getting flustered. Lil and I haven't even been here a whole day and we already caused trouble! Mum and Dad won't be happy about this. But, then again, whose going to tell them?
"I want all Gryffindors to the common room now! I'm going to get to the bottom of this," McGonagall stormed up to the Headmaster and began talking. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Lil smirk. I had the strangest feeling that I knew what she was thinking.
Right before the two of us exited the great hall Lil secretly flicked her wand and all the Slyerins were back to normal—except for their robes. She hadn't quite mastered that part yet. All in all I was right about my feeling—like always. She looked at me and we both smiled. Doing all that was worth the look on the Mauderers faces.
3rd Person P.O.V.
That night the Marauderers were in the common room talking about the feast. McGonagall had called off the "search," so no one was too mad at them. They were so busy talking that the three of them did not notice the two twins in the corner.
"…Whoever thought up with that has got some skill. I wish we knew who it was, though," James said.
"Yeah, but now McGonagall thinks we did it. Hey, look over there. Are those two the transfer students we saw on the train?" Sirius had just spotted the two twins.
"They sure are happy about something," said Remus, "wonder what's up."
"Me two. Hey—Sirius. I dare you to go over there and ask what's up," James dared his best friend.
"Hmm…. okay. I never pass up an opportunity to talk to two charming ladies," and with that he walked over the corner where the girls were. James and Remus were left behind trying to hold in their laughs for Sirius was walking in a very funny way that was meant to empress the girls.
Lily's P.O.V.
Liz and I were talking about the previous events in a couple of chairs in the corner of our new common room. I spied that Black fellow coming over to us. My family has always deeply despised the Blacks for some forgotten reason. I wonder why a Black was in Gryffindor? Maybe not all of them are bad. But, that stupid walk!
"Hello, ladies, what are you up to this fine evening?" Oh, the nerve of that Black! Coming over to our private conversation acting like he owns the place! What a prat.
I put on one of my fake smiles, "Oh nothing that someone like you would be interested in. No need to worry yourself—."
"—Unless you Marauderers are scared that someone can prank better than you," Liz finished. We learned a lot about Hogwarts on the train, so we were up to date on the Mauderers' famous pranks.
"Well, now that you mentioned that little line—I have reason to believe that you were responsible for getting us into trouble," Black said. Oh, I say again, the nerve of that boy!
"And what if we did?" Liz smirked. I think she was liking this a little too much. I 'have reason to believe' that she thinks Black is cute.
"You have no proof," I put on one of my own smirks at my comment.
"Who do you think I am—a prefect? I'm not going to tell," I 'have reason to believe' that Black just didn't want to admit that it was good; us being girls and all. Oh, Merlin, boys need to get a life!
"Sure, just because you don't want to get embarrassed!" Liz got up and I followed. On our way to our dorm I snuck a glance a Potter—hottie!
Black stared after us dumbstruck. Obviously he's never been tolled off by a girl. Potter and Lupin went up in a fit of laughter as we excited the scene. What a bunch of idiots!
