James' plan worked… a little. On certain moments he twirled his tongue not 10 times but around 100 times. Snape had noticed Lily didn't hate James as much as before, like every jealous young man he tried to avoid the future by making James' life miserable. He couldn't be calm forever, eventually he was going to explode right? Of course that didn't happen. Every time James saw Lily he believed more and more in bringing the plan to a good end.
Lily still thought she hated James, although she wasn't so sure anymore. She couldn't believe her eyes, looked twice when she saw him doing nice things for people. He hadn't made a prank since he'd kissed her. She honestly didn't care what the Marauders next plans were, because there weren't any. Only one thing had mad her curious, since their fifth year the boys disappeared on the evening a full moon rose. First she though they would be in the kitchen , having dinner with the house elves of course it was a ridiculous idea, maybe one of them was a werewolf but that was too dangerous for the others, they couldn't be all werewolves. After the third full moon that year, her curiosity took the overhand, next time she was going to follow the Marauders.
On that particular day Remus Lupin was missing around 7 pm, he always was the first one to go, she guessed he was more careful than Sirius, James or Peter. Lily waited until the common room was empty, she hid herself and looked at the entrance of the boy's dormitory. It took half an hour until she heard the first noise. 'Peter! Just go and take a look.' Somebody pushed the small boy, Peter Pettigrew was a very sneaky looking boy his eyes always twinkled, twinkled is not the right word I must say it wasn't cute like you would expect from a twinkle it was more an evil sparkle. He looked not careful enough and missed the girl sitting behind one of the scarlet sofas. 'There's nobody here, it's safe.' Two taller boys came out of the shadows. It was so dark she could only hear their footsteps moving to the portrait hole. Suddenly a voice said: 'Try to avoid teachers, I forgot something.' Lily tried not to breath very loud, it was so quiet you could hear a needle falling on the floor. 'Lily Evans, show yourself!' Lily stayed where she was, very nervous. A hand touched her shoulder and held it very tight. 'I'm not stupid Evans I can see you.' Lily turned her head slowly and watched James, his face looked furious. 'Don't try to follow us ever again, understand? 'She nodded, something in his voice made her go to her dormitory and get under the sheets of her four-poster.
James told his friends what happened the morning after. Everyone remained silent until Remus said, looking paler than he already was. 'Thank you James… I cannot imagine… what could've happen.' On that moment a certain girl passed them red from head to toe, not from shame, from anger. Lily slapped James in the face and said: 'Don't ever tell me what to do , you arrogant prat!' when the girl had left Remus whispered something in James ear. ' I am so sorry James, I know how you feel about her, I'll fix it.'
