This chapter is dedicated to Cassie 93 who gave me my very first review for this story.
Lily didn't say anything, she didn't need to, her body language said it all. "Evans what are you doing here." "Not that it is any of your business but I'm waiting for the Headboy to show up" Lily said venomously. "Well I am happy to report that your wait is over" James happily said in spite of Lily's tone. "You mean that you made Headboy Remus. Congratulations," she said turning towards Remus. "Er, not exactly." Remus said. "You couldn't possibly mean that Potter got the badge," Lily said not believing him, or at least hoping that it was all one big joke. "Yep that's right." James said cheerfully. Whether Evans liked it or not he was going to be around her. He might even do his job once in a while if it meant impressing her. "Remus would you mind go ahead to the prefects compartment and telling them Potter and I will be along in a minute." Lily said quietly. "Yes, mam. Right away," Remus said then abruptly left.
Lily turned to Potter. If looks can kill then James should have been calling the morgue with any funeral plans he might have had. Such as picking up his dead body before Lily mutilated it. "Potter," Lily began her voice ringing with hatred "If you make our job together any more painful then it has to be I swear that I personally go to Dumbledore and have you fired" "Yes sir" James said with a mock solute. "Urgh" Lily said through her teeth and stomped out the door.
A minute later Lily had already started giving instructions to the new prefects well James invented his own on the spot since of course, he hadn't read the actual instructions.. "If you see anyone trying to pull a prank take away 10-20 points depending on the prank" "Yeah but if it is a particularly good one go on and help out. It goes without saying that if it is one of the Marauders you turn around and expect a big laugh the next morning." "If you see a student out of the dormitories past curfew take off 15 points and make sure they go back to bed." "Nah, send them on and direct them in the opposite direction of Lily." "And finally," Lily continued getting more frustrated by the moment, "Only Headgirl and Headboy can give out detention. Do not abuse your power." "Yeah unless there is someone you really hate, then feel free. Especially if it is a Slytheran." Everyone but the slytherans in question laughed at this. Well the slytherans and Lily laughed at this. "Oh and Remus" Lily said. "Yeah" Remus said. "Try and get Potter to shut up" "I'll try but I don't think anything short of a mountain of chocolate could do that." At that everyone laughed.
………………………………...
Later all the Marauders were once again in their compartment. Sitting next to them was a mountain of chocolate that Remus had bought per Lily's instructions. Padfoot and Prongs were playing cards. Not regular cards but with a new deck that had just come out. Instead of acting like Muggle cards they could change at anytime. So in the middle of betting high with a royal flush you could end up with a pair of twos and loose all your money. All of the Marauders had a fascination with Muggle games such as poker. They were trying to find out what how Muggles were so easily amused. So far they had not succeeded. What they had succeeded in doing was loose all their money to each other. Several times over. But in playing this last year they had managed to hustle all of the other boys' money and gotten yet another detention. Sirius was going for the world record of detentions gotten in one year.
Padfoot and Prongs stopped what they were doing and turned to Moony. Serious all of a sudden. "So what should our next prank be" Padfoot asked. "Well if no one has another idea I was thinking…" began Prongs.
………………………………...
At the same time, unbeknownst to the Marauders Lily was ranting about them. "How could Dumbledore loose all judgment at this crucial moment? How could he assign Potter this job? Why would he assign Potter this job? I mean he is totally going to abuse his privilege. I bet he takes off 100 points from Slytheran in the first week. No , in the first day" "Lily, LILY." shouted Aimee, "calm down, take a deep breath. Okay now listen to yourself. Do you want Potter to have this much control over you?" "No, no I don't" "Good," said Lily's other best friend, Crystal, "Now for a change of the topic that you've been ranting about for oh, say 27 minutes what did you do this summer?" "Well I spent the entire summer reading the new spell books I purchased from Diagon Alley" Lily said offhandedly, "You" "Unlike you I actually did something fun" "Hey, I resent that" "Get over it. Anyway I went on a tour of the United States. I saw all of the great cities including Miami, Cincinnati, and New York. How 'bout you Aimee." "I'm afraid that my summer was almost as fun as Lily's. I spent the whole entire break at my grandparents house while my parents were vacationing in Prague." "Hey, I resent that to!" Lily interjected to her defense.
At that moment one very excited first year burst into the compartment. "The Marauders are pulling another prank. I was sent to tell everyone." he said in an excited voice almost as if he could not believe he had the honor. But when he finally looked around to see who he was delivering the message to his face dropped. Later it would be compared to a Quidditch player dropping from a broom fifty feet in the air. "Well I..I mean that… well..umm.." and he ran out of the door.
"Well I wonder what he is up to now" Lily said walking out of the door.
