"What happened here?!" James looked up at his head of house.

"You wouldn't believe us if we told you," Sirius stated. Professor McGonagall didn't doubt it. The entire common room was covered in large thick white waist-deep bubbles. She could barely even see the furniture. The bubbles shifted and Lily Evans poked her head out. Seeing Professor McGonagall, she blushed brightly and quickly disappeared again.

"Clean this mess up and report to my office afterwards. That includes you to, Miss Evans." Once she was gone, James and Sirius quickly vanished the whole mess, and at least one chair. Lily sighed.

"Now I'm going to end up with detention because of you two!"

"This was your idea, Evans!"

"And do you really think she'll believe it?" Sirius and James stared at each other. She had a point. Lily smirked walking past them.

"No point in making her wait. Let's get this over with."

"Will you admit this was your idea? We've had detention all last month, one more and we'll probably get expelled."

"She'll just think I'm covering for you."

"Please," James begged. She looked at him, saw the desperation in his eyes. This had really been her idea.

"Fine, but you have to leave Severus alone for a week, both of you." James whispered something to Sirius before turning to her.

"You drive a hard bargain, but deal."

LLLLLLLLLLLL

Professor McGonagall stared at the three students in front of her. Miss Evans had taken credit for the whole mess with Potter and Black had just looked at the floor.

"Completely irresponsible, could have ruined school and student property."

"I'm sorry Professor. It got out of hand. I was trying a new replicating charm."

"Detention, Miss Evans, for two nights, with Professor Flitwick. As far as you two," she turned to James and Sirius. "I doubt you're innocent in this, but I do believe Miss Evans. I want two sheets of parchment from each of you comparing cleaning spells on my desk by the end of the week." They nodded as James managed to sneak a biscuit from Professor McGonagall's desk.

"Dismissed."

"Good job, Evans. We'll make a marauder out of you yet."

"Just don't forget your end of the deal. See you at dinner." James watched Lily stalk off still obviously annoyed.

"You know, Sirius, I'm going to marry that girl." Sirius just rolled his eyes shaking his head. James made that prediction at least once a month, and Lily still refused to even go out with him.

"And Remus will write our parchments for us," he joked knowing full well Remus would refuse to do their punishment. James sighed staring at where Lily had once stood while eating his stolen biscuit.

"I'm serious, Padfood, just you wait," James promised heading back to the common room with Sirius following him,
