Chapter ten.

James opened the door of his cottage and stepped inside, he sighed heavily before a green monster attacked him. But then he realised it was Lily with her green hair,

"Potter!" she yelled, grabbing him and slamming him up against the wall, for a girl she was very strong,

"Yes Lily?" he asked nervously, he was certain he had been sprung,

"My hair is green!"

"Yes I know; Sirius spiked your hangover potion."

"Right, then I just might go and murder him instead."

"Yeah, good idea. And if you want to make out with him, then I'd be cool with that!" James called after her as she stormed out the door in her silk nightgown.

"I am so not cool with that! Ugh, I am such an idiot! Why did I have to kiss her?" he asked himself,

'Yeah, but it's not like Lily's your girlfriend or anything.' He thought,

"Yeah! But still! She's a chick, and they think different to guys! She'll be pissed if she finds out!" James shouted at the wall, he was having an argument with his brain, and he wasn't quite sure who was winning.

"Sirius Orion Black, get your arse over here right now!" Lily screeched, Sirius didn't pay her any attention as she stormed towards him, her night flapping in the wind behind her as she walked,

"Where are my things? I know you stole them Andrews!" Sirius shouted at Ellie,

"I didn't take your Zongos and Honeydukes stuff, I have my own money, I don't steal." She said, "It's probably in your dorm or your cottage or somewhere."

"I know you did!"

"Oh, shut up Black." Ellie said, and walked away, "By the way, you're about to get the shit kicked out of you." She added over her shoulder,

"What?" he turned around and saw Lily, with green hair, fuming. She was livid, "Oh, hi Lily." He said nervously,

"You spiked my potion, and now my hair is green!" she seethed, slamming him up against the castle wall,

"Yeah." He said slowly, "About that…"

"I am going to kill you!" she yelled, pushing her arm into his neck,

"I can't breathe!" he choked,

"Change it back! Now!" she shouted,

"I can't…it will last…until…next…week." He spat out slowly,

"I'm not going to wait that long Black! Fix it!"

"It's not possible!" he choked,

"Well make it possible!"

Sirius' eyes darted over to where Ellie was standing near the beech tree, laughing her head off, her hair flickered many colours as she laughed,

"Hair dye?"

"What?" Lily released him, and he slid down the wall and onto the

ground.

"Hair dye. Don't you know what that is?" he said in a raspy voice,

"Of course I know what it is! I'm muggle-born! Are you stupid?"

"No, you can use that."

"And where am I going to get that here? In the wizarding world?"

"Ask Ellie or Emma."

"Ellie is a metamorphagus and Emma's hair is magically changed anyway! No one here will have dye, because they are all magical!"

"Oh, wait! I know where you can get some."

"You sure she won't come in here?" Lily asked nervously, as they walked into the office, Lily had received many strange looks as she stormed across the grounds in her dressing gown,

"No, of course not. She's out preaching to the leprechauns in the greenhouse. She wants them to come over to the good side."

"But they are on the good side?" Lily said,

"I know that, but she's convinced they're evil." Sirius said, pushing over a pile of papers. They were in Professor Toylette's office. She was the divination teacher and she didn't believe in changing any part of your body with magic, so therefore, to keep her purple hair looking nice and purple, she dyed it.

"It's purple Black." Lily said,

"Yes, but you can change the dye with magic."

"Lily! Thank God you're back to normal!" James said happily as Lily walked out of the bathroom of their cottage. James was sitting on the ground playing with Elle who was now three years old; they had been parents for two weeks.

"You didn't like me with green hair?" Lily asked innocently,

"You know what I mean."

"Dadda, trains!"Elle shouted,

"Okay, Mummy will play trains with you, Daddy is making dinner." He said to her,

"You started dinner?" Lily asked,

"Yeah." He said,

"I don't have to force you?"

"Nope!" he smiled, "The vegetables are on the stove and the chicken is in the oven and the dishes are washing themselves." He pointed to a scrubbing brush, which was washing some pots.

"Ah thank you James." She said, "This is a pleasant surprise."

"Well, you deserve it."

Lily kissed him on the cheek and sat down next to Elle. James touched his cheek where she had kissed him and walked slowly back to the kitchen.
