My sisters amazing fanfic

Chapter 3 – Carry my books please?

Lily Evans made her way down the Gryffindor table after being made fun of by the infamous Sirius Black. She soon spotted her friends and they made room for her next to Sophia. Natalie was no far behind.

"So how did it go? I want all the details," Paige spoke out so quickly that you could barely understand her words.

"Repeat that in English please," Lily replied as she munched on a piece of toast.

"She said and I repeat, how did it go? I want all the details," Eva repeated making quotes with her fingers when she repeated Paige's words.

"Not fun at all," Lily said. "How long do I have to do this?" Lily complained.

"One month," Natalie suggested.

"No only one week," said Chloe.

"I think two months," Paige said.

"No three months," Eva said with mischief in her eyes.

"I say we compromise and say three weeks," Sophia said as she served herself another piece of French toast.

"Ok, then three bloody weeks it is and nothing more than that," Lily said.

"Ok then it is set, three weeks," Natalie announced.

"These three weeks are just going to be so much fun," Lily said in a giddy sarcastic voice.

"It will," said Chloe grinning, "because I get to date Remus. I say my time period is until the day I die." Chloe's eyes went all dreamy and the other girls laughed at her.

"We better get going, class is starting soon," Paige reminded them and got up from the table.

"True," Eva said standing up as well.

Lily stood up as well and waited for everyone else to finish. Once they were all done, the k3w headed back to Gryffindor tower to get their books. The first class they had today was potions with the Slytherins. It was just their most favorite class…not.

They were on their way back down the stairs from Gryffindor tower when they bumped into the marauders.

"Hey Lily," James said, giving her his lopsided grin.

"The name is Evans, now make yourself useful and carry my books for me," Lily said dumping all her books into James' arm and then hanging her bag around his neck. "Be on time for potions because I will need those," Lily said and then strode off with her friends at her heels.

"Bitch," Sirius yelled after her.

"Sorry to disappoint your expectations," Lily shouted back and then turned the corner in the hallway.

Once they were all out of sight and earshot they stopped and all started laughing so hard that their sides hurt and they were about to pee in their pants.

"Wow Lily, you should be an actor," Eva said as she tried to get control of her laughter.

"This is going to be the worst three weeks of James Potter's life," Sophia giggled.

"Don't you think that was kind of harsh?" asked Chloe as she stood more to the outside of the group.

Everyone turned to look at her. "This is James Potter we are talking about," Lily said, treating Chloe like she was out of her mind.

"Actually I have to agree with Chloe although it was quite funny," Natalie admitted.

"Ok maybe I was a little harsh, but James Potter's ego can handle it," Lily said and the issue was over as the friends walked towards the dungeons for their first potions class of the year.

"Hello Miss Evans and company," Professor Talon. "Take any seat for now."

There were four people to each table. Sophia went to work her magic on Lucious Malfoy. Eva and Paige made their way over to another table. Chloe spotted Remus, who had arrived ahead of his friends and went to sit with him. Natalie and Lily made their way to the only empty table left.

Just as the period began, James and Sirius ran into the room out of breath.

"Potter, Black," Professor Talon said, glaring at the two students. "I see some things haven't changed. Take the seats at Evans' table," he instructed.

James sauntered over to the table and plopped himself down next to Lily. He leaned over and ever so quietly whispered into Lily's ear, "I kept your books nice and safe from Sirius for you." His breath sent a shiver down Lily's spine giving her a feeling she had never felt before.

"Thanks," was Lily's quiet, meek reply.

James handed Lily's books over to her. As Lily took the books from James, his hand brushed ever so lightly against hers, making her drop the books from surprise.

"Miss Evans, is there a problem?" Professor Talon asked annoyed as he stopped giving instructions, to converse with her.

"No Professor. I am sorry for dropping my books," Lily said, knowing that Mr. Talon did not like excuses.

"You did that on purpose," Lily hissed at James just loud enough for only him to hear.

"I don't know what you're talking about," James said.

"You know perfectly well what I am talking about Potter," Lily was about to lift up her cauldron and drop it on James Potter head and ruin his stupid, messy, black hair.

"Miss Evans, is there something you would like to share with the class?" Professor Talon growled.

"No professor," Lily said giving herself a mental note to get James back for all the destruction he was causing; usually she got along pretty well with Professor Talon.

"Good because next time you disrupt this classroom I will take ten points from Gryffindor and you can very well expect to be serving detention with me, cleaning out the storage room," Professor Talon reassured her and then continued on with the ingredients they would need.

"Yes Professor," Lily said, nodding her head.

Lily settled back down and decided to just ignore the self-centered Quidditch player next to her. She was doing quite well until James elbowed her gentle in the side and dropped a piece of paper on her lap.

Reluctantly Lily picked up the paper and unfolded it. In James' messy handwriting the words 'Hi Lily Evans' were written. Lily would have laughed at the dumb note, but once again Professor Talon noticed her.

"Lily Evans, you should be paying attention to me, not your lap," he said, his face turning red with anger. "Ten points from Gryffindor and I will be expecting your company after dinner today for two hours worth of detention for interrupting my class three times. This should teach you a proper lesson. Do you understand?" he said.

"Yes Professor," Lily said and this time she stayed paying attention.

James continued to pass her notes for the whole potions class, but finally he stopped when Professor Talon had finished giving out the instructions.

"You may begin," he ordered.

"Ok, what do we do first because I was not paying attention to one thing he said," James admitted as he turned his attention from Professor Talon to Lily.

"Do you find this funny?" Lily wanted to know when she saw the infamous lopsided grin appear on his face.

"Actually yes," James informed her. "The wonderful Lily Evans has already snagged a detention before the amazing James Potter and Sirius Black," he sniggered.

"You, you planned this didn't you?" Lily wanted to know.

"No, but things do work out nicely even when they weren't arranged," James commented. "Now lets start this potion."

Lily and James started the potion, which was a potion to make people age prematurely. When they were finished, James took one of the small jars they had on the table, filled it up with the bubbling red liquid and walked up to put it on Professor Talon's desk.

When no one else was looking, Lily quickly took the other jar and filled it up, screwed a lid on top so none would leak out and put the jar into her bag. I am going to have quite a bit of fun with this, Lily thought to herself deviously.

James came back and sat down next to Lily. "Well I think we did quite good," James announced.

"Oh yes…umm…very good," Lily said, startled from being interrupted from her train of thought.

"Sooo-" James began but was interrupted by Professor Talon.

"Students, I will be expecting a one page essay on my desk tomorrow about the counter potions for someone if they have taken an aging potion. I would also like another one page essay about why aging potions were created," Professor Talon stated and then dismissed the class.

Everyone groaned as they left the room; Professor Talon may be fair to all houses, but he always gave countless homework assignments.

"What do you have next?" James asked as he left the classroom by Lily's side.

"Transfiguration, you stalker," Lily said, trying to escape James so that she could talk to her friends without him lingering nearby.

"Fine, whatever," James said and just left Lily alone to walk to Transfiguration by herself.

She had Transfiguration with the Slytherins as well and when she notice Sophia's familiar back a little ahead of her with the unmistakable ice blond hair and robes of Lucious Malfoy, she figured she better not mess up Sophia's planning. Instead, Lily looked around for her other friends. She soon spotted Natalie and Chloe, but they were near James, talking with Remus and Sirius. Lily sighed and then noticed Paige and Eva, so she hurried up to talk with them.

As she arrived Paige started digging for information right away, "So Lily, why did you get yelled at so many times in potions? Was James nice? What did he whisper to you? Did he remember you books? What did you guys talk about?"

"Hello Paige, give the girl some breathing time," Eva said, laughing at the eager look on Paige's face. "Don't worry, I am just as excited as you are," Eva reminded Paige.

"Ok nothing really happen, but I did think up this amazing idea," Lily said, about to jump out of her skin she was so amused at how devious she had become.

"What is this amazing idea, my Lily flower," James asked as he popped up behind her, slipping his arms around he waste and stopping her from continuing to walk.

"First of all, I am trying to get to class. Second of all, this is none of your business. Third of all, I don't ever remember telling you that you could touch me. Remove your hands right now and I won't bite you," Lily warned, causing her friends and James to laugh at her.

Before James let her go, he leaned forward until his mouth was right next to her ear and whispered ever so slightly, "I can bite back, you know." Then with that James let go and continued on down the hall with Sirius, leaving Lily's mind racing and full of confusion.

"Urgh," Lily yelled, throwing her hands up and then putting them down in defeat.

"So, what did he whisper," Paige asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Nothing," Lily said.

"Do you think I am dumb or something," Paige asked.

"Yeah," Eva said and started laughing at her two friends.

"It was nothing, really," Lily said and continued on with her friends to Transfiguration.

They soon arrived and were greeted by McGonagall, "Hello miss Evans and company."

They all waved hi and then went to go get desks.

"How come everyone always says Miss Evans and company?" Paige asked, like she was offended that none of the teachers recognized her.

"Because I am important," Lily teased and then sat down at a desk. Paige plopped down next to her.

Eva let out a giggle and then took the desk that was across from them. Once the last students had arrived, McGonagall called for silence.

"Welcome back to Hogwarts everyone. Today we are going to start out with turning our chairs into turtles. Everyone please turn to page 431 in "Making inanimate objects breath"," McGonagall said briskly as she pulled out her own book and wand.

"Here is your demonstration," McGonagall said as she conjured up a chair. She pointed her wand at the chair and said, "tartarugasedia." The chair immediately turned into a turtle. The turtle took one look around and pulled everything inside its shell.

McGonagall said the same spell and the turtle turned back into a chair. She quickly vanished the chair and turned to the class. "Pair up and start working," she instructed.

"Want to be my partner?" Lily asked Paige.

"I would love to," James said coming up behind Lily.

"Was I talking to you?" Lily asked as she turned to see James with that dumb smile plastered on him face.

"She would love to," Paige said and got up to go be Eva's partner.

Lily sighed, Paige was going to so pay. Just because Lily had agreed to do this did not mean that she had to spend every moment with James and be nice to him.

"Would you like to go first or would you prefer I show you how it is really done?" Lily asked James even though she knew that Transfiguration was James' best subject. She also knew that no matter how hard she tried, he would always be better at it than her.

"You think you are real dangerous. I have quite a few tricks up my sleeve, Evans," James said and Lily rolled her eyes.

"Well pick," Lily said annoyed that he never just answered a question out straight.

"Ladies first," James said motioning for her to go ahead as he stepped away from the chair.

"Well then go already," Lily said.

"If you want to be so difficult then I will turn you into a turtle," James growled at her.

"I would like to see you try," Lily shot back.

James quickly called back his anger and calmed down, "I will just go since you seem to be having your monthlies."

"POTTER," Lily screeched. "Do not talk about me like I am a person with useless feelings and everything I say is only said because I am having my period!" Lily screamed.

Everyone in the class turned to her. Lily felt like a complete idiot. She said just loud enough that James could hear, "You are going to regret ever saying that you self absorbed graveling git."

James just laughed at her. Lily wanted to just slap him. She was going to make sure that these were the worst three weeks of his life.

"Mr. Potter, Miss Evans if you would please see me after class," McGonagall told the two. "Continue," she informed everyone else.

"Go," Lily ordered James harshly.

James did the spell perfectly the first time and then stepped aside for Lily to go. Lily did ok, but not as well as James. When she was finished he smiled down at her like she was just a pawn in some master plan of his.

"Don't look at me like that," Lily muttered as she looked away from his face.

Not soon after she felt the presence of him staring at her turn away. They continued to practice and James didn't bother her anymore after that. Not long after class ended all the students but James and Lily left the room.

"Miss Evans and Mr. Potter I will see you both in my office," Professor McGonagall said as she stood up and waited for them to follow her into her office.

The three walked into the office. McGonagall sat down at her chair and Lily and James took the two chairs across from her desk.

"You were screaming inappropriate things and you disrupted my class Miss Evans. For this you will be serving a Saturday detention. Mr. Potter, as I can only know you were the cause of Miss Evans outburst. For this you will be serving a Saturday detention as well. I will expect to see both of you after your breakfast on Saturday. You are dismissed," McGonagall said and went back to the work on her desk.

"Professor-" Lily began.

"Miss Evans, there will be no buts, but I am very surprised at you," Professor McGonagall said.

With that, Lily stood up and left the room, James was not far behind her.

Lily made her way down the hall towards Gryffindor Tower. She knew James was still present by the sound of his shoes against the stone. When she arrived at the portrait of the fat lady she turned to face James.

"Will you just go away Potter," Lily said.

James grinned, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Well you better get a clue before something bad happens," Lily threatened.

"Did you just threaten me?" James asked, faking being appalled.

"Yes I did. Do you know how much trouble you have already caused me and I haven't even been here a full day!" Lily shouted in his face. "You have already gotten me two detentions, had me make a fool of myself in front of the whole transfiguration class and made me get two teachers angry with me," She growled. "I think I will do just fine if you leave me alone right now," Lily said, her face turning red with rage.

"Come on Evans I was only having a bit of fun. Maybe you will finally loosen up," James remarked, his grin growing larger as he tried to put an arm around her waist and she pulled away from him.

"You want to see me loosen up?" Lily shouted. "Watch this," and with the she slapped him across the face and then kicked him in the privates. "For once handling pain will help you," Lily hissed. She gave the fat lady the password and then walked into the common room, leaving James bending over in pain.

When Remus, Sirius and Peter saw James bending over, his face bursting with pain and Lily entering the common room with a triumphant look on her they knew that only the worst could have happened.

They ran over to James just as he passed out. "Infirmary, now," Sirius instructed as Remus had already started to levitate James.

"What happened?" asked Eva as Lily came over to sit by them.

"Nothing, I just gave James Potter what he deserves," Lily said triumphantly.

"And that would be…?" Paige said, urging Lily to continue.

"I kicked him in the balls," Lily sniggered.

"I never knew you had it in you," Paige sniggered.

"Neither did I," Lily said starting to laugh uncontrollably.

"That was just plain wrong Lily. He is going to be in so much pain. You are supposed to deflate his ego not give him so much pain that he cannot walk for a couple days," Eva said, but then burst out laughing anyway.

The three continued to talk until Remus entered the common room and made a beeline for Lily.

"Can I help you with something?" She asked Remus as he stopped in front of her.

"Dumbledore would like to see you in the infirmary now," Remus informed her, his lips in a tight line even though him and Lily were friends.

"Have fun Lily dear," Eva and Paige chorused as Lily got up and left the common room.

Lunch was in twenty minutes and Lily was starving. She quickly made her way to the infirmary so as not to waste too much time. When she arrived she spotted Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall by a cot with James on it, Sirius and Peter were sitting on chairs next to him.

"They are expecting you," Madam Rosemary informed Lily as she walked into the infirmary.

Lily made her way over to the group of people. "I was told you wanted me," Lily said in her politest voice.

"Ahh yes Miss Evans, I am glad you could make it," Dumbledore said, turning to her.

McGonagall turned around as well. "We were informed that this is your doing," McGonagall said, her mouth in a tight line just as Remus' had been.

"Yes Professor," Lily said trying to stop herself from laughing.

"Ten points from Gryffindor if I will," McGonagall said briskly. "I will leave the rest to you Professor," McGonagall added and then left the room.

"Miss Evans, I was informed that James has a detention. Your first punishment is to be taking over James detention on Saturday as well. I am sure you can make time for that even with your own detentions," Dumbledore said raising a curious eyebrow at her. "Also, I would like to inform you that you will be serving a detention with Filch and I have given Madam Rosemary the honor of having you help her out this whole week after dinners, except for today because Professor Talon informed me that you have a detention with him."

Lily now realized that Dumbledore could be very evil if he decided to, very evil indeed.

"I have other matters that need attending," Dumbledore informed them, briskly and then set down the row of cots.

Once Dumbledore was out of sight, Sirius jumped to his feet and walked up to Lily.

"Evans," he growled. "If I find out that you have caused anymore trouble with James then I will tend to you myself. Do I make myself clear?" he threatened.

"Master Black, sit down this instant," Madam Rosemary said as she came up. "There is no point in getting worked up. James will be just fine once he takes this," she said as walked over to the bed with a cup of black bubbling goo that smelled faintly of dirty gym socks.

Madam Rosemary tapped James lightly on the shoulder and when he didn't respond she put the cup down and shook him by the shoulders. James jumped and then laid down in pain whispering make it stop just audible.

"Drink this and then just rest," Madam Rosemary told James as she thrust the cup into his hands and then walked away after she threatened Sirius with joining Lily after dinner if he caused any more trouble. She left after she pulled the curtains shut so that James could have some privacy with his friends.

James put the drink on the bedside table and hoisted himself up on his elbows and then scooted back so that he could see around the area enclosed by curtains. He looked around and his eyes stopped on Lily. If she thought she could just do this, he was going to get her back whether they were dating or not.

"Hey Evans can you help me," James asked as he shared a private mischievous smile with Sirius.

Lily, starting to feel a bit bad about what she had done to James, walked over to him. "Fine," she said trying not to show that she felt guilty.

"Will you please get me some lunch?" he asked, giving her a smile.

"Whatever," she said as James drunk down the potion and seemed to relax.

"Grab me some food as well," Sirius added as Lily turned to leave.

"I am not a nursemaid you prat and I did not kick you in the balls so I do not owe you anything. I can arrange to have you kicked in the balls though. Would you like that?" Lily asked, turning around and glaring at Sirius.

"No, that's fine," Sirius said as shrunk back and sat down in one of the chairs.

Lily walked down to the kitchen instead of the great hall because she didn't want to be glared at by Remus and interrogated by her friends. She made her way into the kitchen and was greeted by Freckles, her favorite house elf.

"Lily Evans!" Freckles squealed and wrapped her small arms around Lily's legs like a little toddler.

"Hey Freckles," Lily said, bending down to give her little friend a hug.

"What can I get you," Freckles asked with a large amount of enthusiasm after they had pulled apart.

"Two plates of food please and a two butterbeers," Lily said.

"I will be right back," Freckles said and left Lily to sit at a table and drum her fingers on it to no apparent rhythm.

Freckles soon returned with one plate balanced on her head while she held the butterbeers in one hand and the other plate in the other hand.

"Here Lily," the giddy house elf said as she put down the plates and drinks in front of Lily.

"I have to go now, but I promise I will come and visit you again soon," Lily told the house elf.

Lily, not as graceful as her small friend, just levitated the food and made her way to the Gryffindor Tower. When Lily arrived she put everything down and found the small jar in her abandoned bag that sat next to one of the couches. Lily opened the jar and poured it over the plate of James' food.

Lily smiled at how proud she was at herself for coming up with this idea herself. She levitated the food and made her way up to the infirmary after she had returned everything in the common room to the way it had been before.

As Lily entered the infirmary and walked into the curtained area, James, Sirius and Peter stopped talking abruptly.

"What?" asked Lily.

"Oh, nothing my Lily flower," James said and motioned for her to bring him some food because he was dieing for some food.

Lily brought his food over to him and set it down on his lap. "Enjoy," she said, smiling at him.

James started shoveling the food into his mouth. Lily was so tired of walking up and down stairs that she just sat down on Sirius' lap and started eating, even with James' protesting.

James' hair started to turn gray and a beard started to appear and grow on his face. Lily congratulated herself; her plan had worked. "Sorry Potter, but my mother always told me to stay away from strange old men," Lily informed James, as she rejected his offer to let her share the bed.

"I am not strange and I am not old," James said offended and then noticed that Sirius and Peter were staring at him. "What?" he snapped at the two.

"Well let me see how I can put this lightly Prongs…you are old. Quite old indeed," Sirius sniggered.

"Give me a mirror," James demanded.

Peter quickly handed James a mirror off a nearby table. James took the mirror and stared in horror at the sight. "Evans," he growled.

"Well this lunch was fun, but I have to go," Lily said and ran out of the room before Sirius could grab her.

James was up and out of the cot before anyone knew it, but Sirius stopped him before he got to the exit.

"Mate, we can get Evans later. Madam Rosemary said you needed to rest so rest," Sirius said.

James reluctantly calmed down and got back in bed. "Will you get Madam Rosemary to reverse this," James pleaded.

"Sure, just one second," Sirius said. Before James knew it, Sirius had conjured up a camera and was taking pictures of James like he was a model.
