GREEN RABBIT

"Sirius Black, I HATE you! I hate everything about you! You are the bane of my existence!" Lily Evan shouted loudly behind her while rushing down the stairs of the Common Room, startling some second yours huddling around a chess board.

"Lily, what is it?" a calm James Potter, boyfriend of Lily's and best friend of Sirius'. "Come on, it can't be that bad."

"Oh really?" fumed Lily, "Then what do you call THIS?" She held up a ragged looking stuffed rabbit.

"He killed a rabbit? ..."

"NO!" Lily shouted, causing James to jump, "You see, this rabbit's name is Splendor, and he has been my special, white, rabbit friend since I was three years old! Now look at him James, LOOK AT HIM!"

James grimaced and studied the greasy animal, but could find nothing wrong with it.

"HE'S GREEN!" Lily exploded. "HE WAS WHITE, AND NOW HE'S GREEN!"

"How can you blame this on Sirius?" as James, not having heard of this simple, but easy plan that would make his girlfriend go mad.

"HIS NAME IS ON SPLENDOR'S EAR!"

Lily burst into tears. James pulled her into his embrace, and inconspicuously charmed the filthy rabbit white again while Lily's head was buried in his chest.

"And she's supposed to me smart," James muttered, smiling.
