A/N: Sorry if you think that this chapter is too short. I had to change a few things, which made it shorter than it was. Don't forget to R&R PLEASE!
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 Marauderers—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 Four: Anger Management and A Close Save
Linzey's P.O.V.
Crap. Double Potions today. Of all the classes that could have been doubled it's this one. I was checking out my schedule for the day. Double Potions, Charms, and Transfiguration. Great. The Marauderers were in all three classes.
"Hey, Liz. You take your potion today?" She's asking me?
"Oh look whose talking!"
"Ha-ha, very funny, Liz!"
"Oh, Lil! I did, okay. Besides, we're going to be late for potions."
"Oh, and now look whose talking, Miss. Fashionably Late!"
"Oh, shut it already! You're getting way too boring." Lil and I are always bickering, but in a fun, sisterly way. Only on certain occasions do we truly mean what we say.
"Sure, whatever you say." Lil turned to leave, so I ran after her.
Of course, the Marauderers were at their usual place beside the fire. I was secretly glad that Lil and I missed breakfast because it looked as though Black had dived into his food—literally. The amount of food on his robes was absolutely gross. No, disgusting. Potter and Black walked over. Great! Here come the idiots…
"Hey Evans and Evans. You heading to potions already? Going to go smart off to Calagast again?"
"Oh, shut up and go change your robes, Black!" I said.
"Better yet, go get a life!" Lil still hadn't got over that Black had called her his "honey bunny" twice in one day. I swear, sometimes she keeps grudges way too long. But, then again, I can't blame her—I do it too.
"Oh, honey bunny, that is so not you. Telling me off like that. Where's the sweet Lily Evans?"
"She left when she saw you. That's the consequences of calling me that revolting name! Anyways, how do you know what is and isn't me!"
Potter finally spoke. Maybe he was just trying to calm Lily down. Like that's going to happen! She had already looked as though she could strangle Black, and her right had was in the general location of her wand. "Are either of you trying out for the Quidditch team?"
Lil was looking as though she was in a difficult situation. Most likely trying to decide which one of the boys to kill first. Lil isn't one to like being interrupted during one of her anger spills.
"We'll be going now. But, yes we both are," I informed the two, half dragging Lily out the porthole. After getting out into the hall I tolled her, "Girl, you really need to go to anger-management class."
"Oh, I've tried that. Lasted for two sessions and the teacher quit. Wouldn't be a good idea to put another one in that much peril." She laughed at the thought. That was the thing about Lil—she'd get angry in a heartbeat, but just as fast is back to normal.
I guess I was a tad bit wrong about that last part because as soon as she saw Calagast she was fuming again. Oh, well. I guess in some cases the saying about redheads being easily angered was right.
Lily's P.O.V
Oh, if I didn't want to be an Auror I would totally drop potions. As simple as that. Calagast is the most evil, stupidest, disgusting, agitating, git of a teacher that I have ever seen. Should I go on? I'd rather go out with Potter than spend a whole day with Calagast. And, that's saying something.
"Mr. Potter and Miss. Evans, no the other one, come here please!" Calagast came out of his office, "The rest of you get to work on the potion I've put on the board. Now!" I waked up to his desk beside Potter. Darn. I had a feeling that i knew what was comming.
"Now which one of you put that timed dung bomb in my office?" Potter and I exchanged glances. "And don't give me that innocent look," Calagast went on, "because I know for a fact that it was one of you.
"What's your proof?" I asked in my sweetest voice, quickly adding a "sir."
"You two where the only ones in here the other night besides me after I checked my office." He is such a –
"I did it, Professor."
I looked over at Potter trying my hardest not to look surprised. Did he just cover for me? Weird.
"Well, I should have figured it was you. Detention tonight and tomorrow night, 7:00. Unfortunately, Dumbledore has made the request to not give detention on the night of each house's Quiditch tryouts, so you are spared there. Get to work!"
As we walked back to my desk I raised an eyebrow at Potter, but he just smiled. I had a bad feeling about what was going on inside his head. Nothing else too awful bad happened except for Black getting another detention tonight. I left without another acknowledgement to Potter, for he was lingering at the back talking to Black.
COMMON ROOM
I decide to get a little bit of homework done before detention, or at least I tried. All I could think about was Potter covering for me. Why can't I stop thinking about that prat, Potter? Oh, Merlin, am I going crazy? Oh, why can't I stop thinking about him? Stop. Stop. STOP!
"Hey, Lil, you doing homework?" I quickly flipped over the parchment that I was writing on at the sound of my sister's voice. I don't know why, but I did.
"Yeah, I'm just finishing up."
"Okay, well I'm going to get a quick shower before detention. See ya soon." Liz started walking up the stairs to the girls' dorm.
"Yeah, okay, bye." I flipped back over the parchment to see exactly what I was writing. I gasped.
L&J
Lily heart James
Lily Potter
Lily Evans and James Potter...
It continued down the length of the page. Did I really write that? I'm defiantly going crazy. Oh, Merlin, help! Crumpling up the parchment I walked up to the dorm I shared with Liz and Rachel. Crazy, crazy, crazy. I'm going crazy.
DETENTION
James' P.O.V.
I had it all planned out. Of course, Sirius had to copy me. But that just proves how good of a plan I had. I covered for Lily in class today and got detention. Although it did cost me an extra one, but that's okay. Now I can spend another night with Lilly again. It's a perfect plan. Sirius went and got detention today during potions class, too. I think he likes Linzey even though he said he wouldn't like, like anyone this year.
Lily—oh, she is so hot—and Linzey were waiting for us at the potions room. They both looked extremely annoyed at seeing us. I have the strangest feeling that Lily knew my plan, or at least suspected it. Oh, well. It isn't like it'll make a difference; I've got detention already.
"You four know what to do, but this time Mr. Potter and Miss. Evans, NO, the OTHER Miss. Evans, will go to the trophy room. You other two will be cleaning the potions room this evening—go on and get to work!" Calagast is such a git! But I gotta give it to him since he put me with Lily.
I walked down to the trophy room with Lily and Calagast. Oh, this is going to be great. Another day in a room with just me and Lily Evans. As Calagast left us to check on the others Lily started to work. Soon she realized that I was staring at her instead of working.
"For goodness sake, Potter, do you have to stare at me the whole time?"
"Who wouldn't with that beautiful face of yours?"
"Gross, you of all people are hitting on me!" She must have seen a hurt look in my eyes because she changed the subject. "So, you didn't happen to cover for me this morning so you could have detention with me, did you?"
"I, well, er…yeah."
"Figures. I wonder what the rest of the Mauderers would say if they knew that you were hitting on an enemy." Lily smiled—or smirked—I couldn't really tell. I was too enchanted by her beauty. Why do I have to like a girl who is my enemy? "Maybe I should tell them, just to see the look on their faces." At this she started to laugh.
"You wouldn't!"
"Wanna bet, Potter?"
Well, not really. I wish I could ask her to go out with me. Don't have enough courage to get hexed again, I guess. A couple days ago I asked her out and was sent to the hospital wing. Why do I have to like this girl of all girls? Lily Evans. That's such a perfect name—well, almost perfect. Lily Potter would sound soooooo much better.
"If you actually work instead of stare at me we could leave a lot sooner, you know."
"W-what?"
"Oh, never you mind, Potter. Your so full of yourself you barely notice a thing." And with that the girl of my dreams went back to work. I started—for the first time—to clean the trophies. Though, every once in a while I'd sneak a peak at her. Lily Potter…
