Lily made sure that she got up early and got ready. It was only 6:30 when she made sure that the other girls were ready as well.

"What's going on, Lily? Why must we be up so early?" Laurie said, yawning as she brushed her hair.

"You'll see," Lily said, smiling evilly. Emily looked like her friend just went insane but continued putting her socks on. After they were ready, they went up to the boys' dormitories and knocked.

"Who is it?" Remus said.

"It's us!" Lily called.

"We're not decent!" He called back.

"Who cares?" Lily said, opening the door anyway. The girls entered, but stopped to blush. Only Peter was decent and already dressed. Remus was in only his pajama bottoms, blushing also. James was in his boxers, also blushing.

"What's going on?" Sirius said, walking out with only a towel around his waist. Emily took a sharp intake of breath as Lily smirked inside her head.

"I see what you mean, by, err, not being decent," Lily said. Sirius looked from the girls to the boys and shook his wet head like a dog, spraying them with water.

"And you came in anyway? My, girls, and I thought you were sweet innocent young ladies, obviously I was wrong." Sirius said, smiling at them. Emily just blushed and couldn't help but stare at his half-naked form while Laurie held Lily back from trying to lunge at him.

"I'll get you!" Lily said. She grabbed Peter's pillow and through it at him.

"Err…" Remus said, shifting his feet. Laurie smiled and Lily laughed at their uneasiness.

"So, James, you might want to get some pants on so we can see Malfoy wake up," Lily said, causing James to smile.

"What do you think I was trying to do before you barged in here?" He said.

"I don't know," she said as he ran his hands through his already messy hair. Lily sighed as she watched him.

See? You think that he's cute.

Do not! He's just…

Cute? Girl, you are staring at him

Well maybe I can't help it!

Yeah, 'cos he has a muscled chest that you would just die to touch!

"Shut up!" Lily said aloud.

"Err, what? James said. "I didn't say anything."

"No not you, I was talking to myself," Lily said.

Great, now he's going to think that you're crazy

Shut up!

"You know, Lily, talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity," Sirius said, coming back out again, this time with his boxers on, making Emily blush again.

"That may be true, but you want to know how people get insane?"

"How?"

"By hanging out with you four," Lily said, smiling at them. Sirius held his hands up, smiling as well.

"Hey, you chose to be friends with us, so that makes you insane before you were with us." He said. Lily laughed and rolled her eyes. Remus excused himself into the shower and the girls sat on his bed together. Peter just sat on his bed, waiting for the others, while Sirius and James were getting dressed. Lily and Emily watched them, while Laurie watched the bathroom door, hoping to see Remus in a towel as well. She got her wish.

"Hey, where are my boxers?" Remus asked, coming out the door in a towel. Laurie stared at him but looked away as he came toward his bed.

"I dunno, look in that drawer," Sirius said, straightening his tie.

"Why are you on my bed?" Remus asked the girls.

"'Cos it's comfortable. I think we'll take it," Emily said. Lily laughed as Remus sighed and looked for his boxers. They waited for the boys and by the time they were done, it was 7:15.

"Geez, you guys take forever." Lily said, standing up at last.

"Yeah? Well it pays to look this good," Sirius said, smiling at himself in the mirror. Lily went to slap him upside the head but thought better of it and didn't.

"Big-head,"

"Meanie-head,"

"Is my tie straight?" James said, turning to Lily.

"No," Lily said, straightening it for him. He colored slightly as she ran her hands down his chest, fixing the tie.

Gawd, his chest even FEELS good, too bad it's not bare anymore

Yeah, Lily said to herself as she sighed, trying to keep herself from touching his chest again.

"Done,"

"Thanks," James said as Lily backed up to survey it.

"Anytime. Maybe we should come up here more often, eh, girls?" Lily said, knowing that they really wanted to.

"Yes!" They both said, and then blushed when everyone laughed at them.

I knew you wouldn't mind being with him

Look, I don't like him

But you think he's hot

No, cute, maybe

Aha! So you admit to thinking that he's cute!

No! He's nothing to me! Just a guy friend, I don't like him

So what is he then?

Incredibly gorgeous Lily thought and then slapped a hand to her forehead.

"What's wrong?" James asked.

"Err, nothing," Lily said. Except that I think you're gorgeous! No, you're not! He's not! I don't like him!

"Umm, okay? Let's go down to breakfast and watch the Slytherin's get up!" James said. Lily nodded as they all headed down to the Hall. Stupid she thought. They all went into the Great Hall and were just about to sit down when they heard a scream.

"And it begins!" Peter said as they rushed to the window to watch. All the Slytherin's were screaming and trying to figure out how they got there. Some of the girls were trying to paddle their way back to shore.

"Potter!" Snape yelled out, startling Malfoy and making him fall onto his mattress. They all laughed as they watched the terrified Slytherins.

"You did this?" Emily said to the boys.

"No, we did this," Sirius said, motioning to the boys and Lily.

"You were in on this?" Laurie said.

"Yup! And proud of it!" Lily said, making them all laugh.

"Potter!" McGonagall cried out, making the seven turn around and fake innocence.

"Yes, Professor?" James said.

"That was…that was…"

"Really funny?" Sirius put in. McGonagall's nose flared then she went from looking angry to looking…well…something else.

"Yes, funny," She said, as she started laughing. All of the students (with the exception of the other Slytherins) and all the teachers (with the exception of Holmes) were laughing their heads off. Dumbledore chuckled and Hagrid laughed his booming laughs. The seven were so shocked at seeing McGonagall laughing. It was a change. She was laughing so hard that tears were coming to her eyes. The seven relaxed and started to laugh too. Just as the laughter was dying down and McGonagall was wiping her eyes, the seventh year Slytherins came in, all looking drenched and extremely pissed off. This caused the whole hall to laugh again at them, and McGonagall was laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe.

"Never mind, no punishment," She said, unable to contain her laughter as she walked away, still laughing like mad.

"Yes!" They cried, giving each other high fives. The seven were laughing still as they sat down. The mail came and they just ate their breakfast happily.

"Remind me to never prank her again! I love Minnie!" James said. Lily laughed.

"Minnie?"

"Yeah, It's short for Minerva, c'mon, Lily, figure it out," Sirius said. Lily swatted his arm as Emily stole his toast.

"Hey!"

"Finders Keepers!" She said. He smiled at her and she smiled back. Lily caught James eye and they both said

"You're flirting again!"

"Are not!" They said.

"Sure…" Laurie said. The group sat down to eat breakfast, then got up to go to class.
