School and Other Fun Things

The next morning Lily woke up at her usual time of seven o'clock. She showered and dressed in her new surroundings and then walked down for breakfast in a good mood for the first day back. She walked to where her friends were sitting, the same place as last night and saw that they were all in conversation with the marauders again. James seemed to be in a better mood and was chatting away as well. When Lily arrived they all greeted her and then went back to talking of the prank that the marauders had played last year on the Slytherins.

"And then ol' Snapey looked up and all this bird crap went flying into his face! It was the funniest thing ever. He just stood there in complete silence getting angrier and angrier then when he tried to get us back we just flipped him upside down and threw him in the lake. It was classic!" Sirius said laughing so loud the whole table looked at him. The others broke out in laughter as well. Even Lily who in the past had stopped the marauders from doing pranks. Lily looked up from laughing and saw James staring at her. He smiled nicely as if seeing her for the first time. She smiled back but was distracted when her time table was thrust in her face by Issy who was sitting beside her.

"What did you get?" Issy asked whilst looking at her own timetable.

"Um... I have double potions this morning, then transfiguration this afternoon, then defence against the dark arts tomorrow with charms. Its just keeps repeating like that. I have a free period everyday now which is great. I like my timetable, its all my favourites." Lily said happily.

"Sounds good. I have some of the same. I have charms with you," Issy said looking at her timetable and Lily's, "and transfiguration."

"Cool, what about you guys?" Lily asked the other two girls.

"I have the same lessons as Issy," Lexi said.

"I have Charms and Defence with you Lil's, so its just potions you have on your own," Eddie said. Lily smiled. She didn't mind so much, last year she was always so busy in potions as her friends were always doing things wrong and she was having to fix it for them. But this year she could concentrate more on her own work. She was an amazing potion maker and was hoping to use her skills in whatever future career she chose. She was thinking working for the ministry would be the most probable job.

"Do all you guys have good timetables?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, not too bad, I have a free everyday too. We'll have to meet up in the ones that coincide and do nothing. The best way to spend time. Haha," Lexi said. She looked across to the boys and they were all comparing timetables aswell.

"We all have free's at the same time. Excellent." Sirius said. "We can use that for planning more dasturdly deeds." Sirius declared.

"Yeah, or we could use it for working," Remus said, he was the sensible one in the group obviously.

"Or not." Sirius said quietly smriking. He eyed a pretty sixth year Ravenclaw leaving the hall and he excused himself quickly. Calling "Sarah, baby, its been too long." To her. She stopped and smiled and they left the hall together. His friends just shook their head and laughed. Breakfast ended and they all headed for lessons and Lily's being double potions she headed to the dungeons for her lesson. Her teacher was called Professor Slughorn. A particularly prone man to choosing favourites. Not that this bothered Lily, what with her being his number one favourite, well maybe joint first with Snape who was an equally skilled potion maker. She walked in the class to see who was in there that she recognised and she saw the marauders all except Peter. Remus was sitting alone so she walked up to him.

"Is it okay if I sit here?" Lily asked politely.

"Sure," Remus said smiling his kind smile. He looked tired, but Lily just assumed he had been partying hard with the boys all summer but he did look warn. Behind them on the back row behind Lily and Remus sat Sirius and James. They looked like they were up to no good. Which was no surprise, they were famous for causing havoc on the first day back. Teachers dreaded having them for the first lesson. Professor Slughom however swept into the classroom and stood at the front beaming at the class.

"Welcome back, welcome back. I hope you all had as splendid summer as I did. I myself spent the summer with the minister of magic in the South of France. It was delightful." Slughorn said dropping in names as per usual. "I am exstatic about all your results. Not anyone lower than Outstanding, how wonderful." Lily looked shocked at this. This meant James and Sirius got outstanding. They were obviously more intelligent than Lily gave them credit for.

The class carried on with Slughorn going straight into making them make a potion. They were making a potion that would turn a person to stone if drank, it was called the draught of statues. Lily had studied it over the summer so knew it and went straight to work on making it. Whilst she was waiting for the mixture to come to boil at one point Slughorn came over to talk.

"Hello Lily, congratulations on making Head girl. I hope you had a good summer?" He said beaming at her.

"Hello Sir, thank you and yes I had an excellent summer. I went with my family to Italy."

"How wonderful, how wonderful." He said then he looked especially pleased with himself, "When I was staying with the minister I mentioned your name to him and how excellent you are at potions and he said once school was finished he would be more than happy to give you a job in whatever department you like. Isn't that wonderful?" Lily looked amazed at this.

"Me sir? Thank you so much. I was hoping for a job in the ministry." Lily couldn't believe it. She could go straight into work after school just as she wanted. Her potion came to boil and Slughorn left her to work.

"Congratulations Lily," Remus said next to her who had obviously overheard the conversation.

"Thanks," Lily said a bit embarassed of how Slughorn only favoured her when all the people in this room were of exactly the same level as her. She also felt bad because she knew of Remus' secret, him being a werewolf. He didn't know she knew. But she had worked it out many years ago when his disappearances coinsided with the full moon. She didn't judge him though. He was a nice boy, he wasn't like the other marauders.

The lesson finished and Lily produced her potion at the exact colour it was supposed to be, a deep grey with a sparkle to it if made exceedingly well. She left the lesson. She know had a free up until lunch. Slughorn hadn't set any homework, but said to look up another potion for the next lesson so they were all prepared. Lily went up to her common room. She had a quick to see if Amos had really moved out of his palacial room. He had then was no sign of anyone living there. Obviously he preferred being with his friends. She was quite happy though. That meant that she got the whole common room to herself. She may even suggest to the headmaster that maybe her friends come and stay in with her, two in each room. Then Amos would feel stupid for not thinking of that. She would do that at the next meeting she had with the headmaster. She assumed she would get note of one soon as she and Amos had to find out what their duties were, along with the other prefects. She left her common room and went up to the gryffindor one. She was pretty sure one of her friends would have a free now. She walked up on of the many stairs cases of Hogwarts and suddenly it began to move. She lost her balance and fell, just as she would have cracked her head of the steps two strong arms caught her. Lily looked up and was met with the two piercing blue eyes of James Potter.

"Sorry," Lily said quietly, she was quite mesmerised by his eyes. "I lost my footing."

"Its quite alright, thats what I'm here for, to help damsels in distress." James said smiling cheekily. Lily grinned back and stood up patting herself down.

"Where are you heading?" Lily asked.

"Just the common room, Sirius said he has come amazing plan for our first prank, since its our last year we wanted to wait until we have a really good one." James said.

"I can't say I wasn't surprised when something didn't blow up in potions." Lily said grinning.

"That was last year. Can't possibly repeat." James said fake seriously.

"Well I am off in the same direction so lets go," Lily said. She liked this James, he wasn't smarmy and annoying as he had been last year. He was funny and sweet. They walked together up to the common room talking about school and their summers. When they reached the common room they saw their friends were sitting together. Lily was getting the feeling her friends and his were slowing becoming one. Already they sat together at meals. Lily thought it possible that her friends liked the marauders than they had first let on. Lily could see Eddie smiling at Sirius in particular. Lily groaned inside hoping her friend wasn't falling for the notorious player that is Sirius Black. Lily sat on the floor infront of the fire as all the seats were taken by her friends. James joined her by sitting there aswell. Throughtout the free period they all chatted. It was obvious the two groups were becoming one. Lily mentioned her idea to her friends about them staying with her in the heads rooms and they were exstatic.

"That'll be awesome Lily," Issy said.

"Yeah, can't wait," Lexi said happily.

"Don't get too excited, I have to ask first," Lily said.

"Why didn't Diggory want it?" James asked Lily.

"He said he wanted to stay with his friends," Lily said shrugging. The boys looked at each other knowingly. James looked slightly happy.

"You having the common room to yourself is awesome," Sirius said. "We can throw a party!"

"No way." Lily said killing that idea straight away. Sirius looked disappointed. "But a night out to White Rabbit wouldn't be too bad." She added with a naughty smirk as she referred to White Rabbit, the new Hogsmeade club.

"Wait, you sneak out of school?" James asked surprised.

"Of course, its not like theres anything fun to do in school," Lexi said.

"How about this weekend then?" Sirius asked.

"Sure, we can use the witch's hump route," Eddie said.

"How did you know about that!" Sirius asked.

"You're not the only ones with secrets Black," Eddie said flirtasciously.

"Oh is that right Edina?" Sirius said using her full name. She scowled and batted him with a pillow. He grabbed her and tickled her and she squealed until her let her go. They planned their night out until it was time for lunch when they set off. When Lily went into lunch she went up to the head table to talk to Professor Dumbledore.

"Hello Sir," Lily said politely.

"Hello miss Evans, what can I do for you," Dumbledore said as he sat on the main table.

"Well sir Amos has decided not to stay in the heads dorm' so I was wondering if it was alright if my three friends came and stayed there instead. We can have two to a room and I promise they'll be good." Lily said putting on her best good girl smile.

"I see no reason why not Lily, I will inform the house elves and they will move the stuff there for tonight. Is that appropriate?" Dumbledore replied smiling.

"Yes sir! Thats great. Thank you," Lily said happily before she ran over to tell her friends. They all squealed with happiness at being reunited in the same room again.

"So saturday night will be fun," Eddie said knowingly. The marauders were chatting amongst themselves and weren't listening to the girls.

"Yeah it will be, I can't imagine why you would be so excited about it," Lily said smirking at her blushing friend.

"I don't know what you mean," Eddie said unsmiling then cracked and giggled a bit.

"Eddie I can't believe you, why always the bad boy?" Lily said pretending to be annoyed.

"I don't know, I just like him." Eddie said dreamily.

"Okay okay don't go all mushy on me." Lily said. They carried on the meal chatting and laughing.

Once lunch was finished and Issy, Lexi and Lily headed off towards transfiguration with the boys minus one and Eddie went off to care of magical creatures with the one and only Mr Sirius Black. Lily smirked watching Eddie walk away with him and she grinned even harder when she saw Sirius offer Eddie his arm. What a gentleman.

They walked up the stairs to the transfiguration classroom and they all took their seats. Lily sat with the girls and three marauders, James, Remus and Peter sat behind them. Lily looked up at the door swung open and Professor Mcgonnagal walked in briskly. The teacher gave her usual talk of how she demanded hard working students etc. Then the work started. She started off with a practical. She wanted everyone to silently change a chair into a parrot. Each student stood up and concentrated. Then imagined the incantation and swished their wand to see what happened. Although their had supposidly mastered silent incantations last year some still struggled. Peter Pedigrew turned his chair into a feathery sofa. Others however did it perfectly. James for one, his parrot turned out beautifully with unusual bright green feathers and a shrill call. Lily's also turned out well along with her two friends. They all smiled proudly. Lily saw James rectify Peter's mistake before Mcgonnagal noticed. She was busy at the time fixing a Hufflepuff who had been hit by a loose spell from his friend. James swished his wand and a parrot appeared fairly similar to the one he had done for himself. Peter thanked him graciously and James ignored him and looked around to check if anyone saw, but only Lily was looking at him and she just smiled and pretended to zip her mouth shut so to let him know she wouldn't tell. He smiled greatfully as he looked at Peter and rolled his eyes slightly as his more than a little clumsy friend. Lily giggled then got back to her work of now writing information concerning the spell they had been casting. They all worked through the lesson until the clock struck four and lessons ended. They trouped out of class and they girls all went to Lily's room as that was where they had agreed to meet Eddie. Lily had told her the password of 'merlins beard' and they went inside to wait for her. They discovered their stuff had been moved already and a new bed had been magicly placed in each room. Eddie's stuff had been put in Lily's room and the other two girls had been put in the other room. There was more than enough room for them all.

"This is amazing Lily," Lexi shouted from the bathroom as she searched around looking at her new surrounding and living quarters.

"Yeah, glad I'm friends with you. You being head girl sure comes in use." Issy said laughing as she jumped up and down on her bed. Or the one she had decided was hers. They played around for a bit until Eddie turned up half an hour later.

"You took your time in getting here," Lily said suspiciously, "Sirius keep you long?" Eddie looked guilty.

"We were only talking. What kind of girl do you think I am?" Eddie said giggling now as she put on a fake southern american accent.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you hussy." Issy said giggling. Eddie just shook her head.

"And what about you missy?" she said looking at Lily. "You and that James. There's been more than a few longing looks coming from you two."

"Me and James!" Lily exclaimed. "No way!" Her friends just sighed.

"Why not? If Eddie gets with Sirius and you get with James it'd be cool. The marauders are fun." Issy said. Lily just sighed. her friends didn't understand that Lily just wanted to be their friends. Never mind though. Once they get an idea into their heads there was no stopping them.

"So what do you want to do tonight? Has any of you got homework? I didn't get any." Lily said.

"No we didn't get any." Eddie said. "What do you want to do?"

"Just a slumber party." Lily said. "We can all get into our pyjamas and eat unhealthy food from the kitchens and play stupid games. I mean it is friday and we don't have school tomorrow."

"Sounds like fun. All we need is food, like cakes and drinks and stuff." Suddenly just as Issy said this the table to the right of them that went along the wall filled with just the things she had said. It was filled with cream cakes and there were at least fifty butter beers.

"Woah, did you know it did that?" Lexi asked.

"No! Thats awesome! Can we have some games as well please, muggles ones?" Lily asked and suddenly games like monopoly and twister appeared on the table.

"Can we have a tv aswell?" Lexi asked. They were all muggleborn and missed tv when they were at hogwarts. A tv did in fact appear with a selection of movies.

"I love you being head girl!" Eddie squealed as she hugged Lily and then ran over to the cakes and grabbed one.

"Yum!" Eddie said as she stuffed her mouth.

"You pig!" Lily said doing exactly the same. They all burst out laughing and carried on having fun and games. At about nine o'clock they got changed into their pyjamas and played some of the games. They were just playing twister when suddenly the common room entrance burst open and the marauders rushed in. All the girls fell and were tangled up in a mad mass or arms and legs.

"Woah." Sirius said. "Is this what you always do in your spare time? Get practically naked and jumped on each other?" He looked as though he had entered heaven at the heavenly sight of the girls on top of each other.

"No, we were playing twister and having a sleepover." Lily said from the bottom of the pile.

"Hey! Don't ruin it for me. I like my version." Sirius said dreamily.

"You perv." Eddie said disentangling herself from her friends and getting up. "What are you guys doing here anyway?" she asked.

"Well as you now have full head common room privelages and as we are such dear friends we figured you wouldn't mind us sharing the privelages that come along with it." James said smiling his cheeky smile.

"Oh did you now. Well thats a shame this is a closed party," Issy said waving goodbye to them.

"Oh come on. We brought some drinks." James said as all four of them pulled out a selection of wizard alcoholic beverages.

"Where did you get those!" Lily exclaimed.

"Oh here and there," Sirius said smirking.

"You two are prefects you should know better," Lily said sternly.

"Says the head girl who is going to sneak out with us on saturday," James said back. Lily shut up and just grinned.

"Fine, come in. But no monkey business." Lily said. At this they all began to jump around like monkeys scratching themselves and swinging their arms about. Lily burst out laughing and so did the other girls and the boys stopped.

"Time for a drinking game me thinks," Sirius said with an evil glint in his eye.

"I don't know any," Eddie said innocently.

"Sure you don't miss innocent," Sirius said. Eddie smirked and spending to circle a halo around her head. Sirius plonked his two bottle down on the table infron of the fire and the group sat all sat around the table on chairs or on the floor. Lily went over to the asking table as they now called it and asked for eight shot glasses. They appeared and she took them to the table.

"Okay the game is called I never. Starting with me. I will explain as we go along. Okay I never kissed someone over 50, now anyone who has done this has to drink." As Sirius said this James groaned.

"No fair. You know I was drunk when that happened." James said. Sirius just grinned and filled his glass up. James threw it back and gulped down the fire whisky that he had been poured.

"Okay Eddie dear its your turn," Sirius said as Eddie was sitting next to him on the couch.

"Okay, I never... streaked onto the grounds in nothing but my school hat." As she said this she grinned broadly knowing full well all three of her friends would have to drink as they had all simultaneously done this last year as a bet. What she didn't expect was that Remus would drink as well.

"Hey Sirius made me, he dared me to swim naked in the lake then he ran off with my clothes!" Remus said defencively. Everyone laughed and Issy, Lexi, Remus and Lily downed their drinks.

"I thought that was supposed to be a secret Edina!" Lily said after she downed her. She giggled and burped then took her turn.

"I never... fancied a teacher." Lily said finally. She looked around and Sirius and Lexi took a drink.

"You all have fancied a teacher? Who?" Lily asked.

"That astronomy teacher. I thought she was fine when I was like a first year." Sirius said smirking as he downed his shot.

"What about you?" Lily asked. Lexi had never mentioned a crush on a teacher.

"Well you know that professor that came in for a substitute for a bit, well he was like twenty and we kind of had a bit of a thing last year." Lexi rambled off quickly.

"Lexi!" Issy squealed. "No way!" Lexi answered that by gulping down her drink quickly. The girls just laughed. That teacher had been pretty good looking.

"Okay Remus ol' chum, your turn." Sirius said.

"I never... lied to a teacher." Remus said smirking.

"No way. Everyones lied to a teacher at some point.

"Not ol' Remy, he always tells the truth." Sirius said filling everyones glass except Remus'. On the count of three everyone gulped down their shot. Remus just smiled happily.

"James, your turn," Remus said.

"I've never... been in love." James said. Everyone felt curious. He had had many girlfriends but never been in love. No one asked for a shot. Obviously no one had been in love yet. The silence in the room grew until Sirius said,

"Okay next person," It was in fact Issy's turn.

"I never... kissed my sisters boyfriend." she said this sneakily as Eddie scowled and asked for a shot.

"I told you that was a secret." But she downed the shot and laughed away as the feel of alcohol went through her.

"Okay me now. I never... had sex." Lexi said solomly. Everyone looked at each other to see who would ask for a shot. Sirius filled his up immediately and so did Eddie, James, Remus and to everyone's surprise Lily. They all downed their drink after learning all this information. Just as they finished they saw Lexi go for a shot.

"I lied," she said smirking naughtily before downing her drink. Everyone giggled. They were all a drunk now.

"Onto Peter," Sirius said. Peter looked thoughtful.

"I never ... killed a man." Peter said. Everyone looked around. Sirius reached for the bottle then smirked.

"Kidding." Everyone sighed with relief.

"Next game!" James slurred.

"Lets play truth, dare, kiss or promise." Eddie said.

"Ok!" The group called. They ridded the table of the glasses and put the now empty bottle in the middle.

"Ok, this is a mix of truth, dare, kiss of promise and spin the bottle." Sirius said. He spun the bottle and it landed on Peter.

"Truth dare kiss or promise?" Sirius asked. Peter tried to be brave and said "dare."

"I dare you to down a whole bottle of fire whisky." Sirius said evilly.

"Fine." Peter grabbed another bottle from what they had brought. He began to drink it. By the time he had got to about half he passed out drunk on the floor.

"Should we help him?" Lily asked.

"Nah, he always does that, He'll be fine in a couple hours." Sirius said. "Back to the game!"

James spun the bottle as Peter now couldn't. It landed on Eddie.

"Truth, dare kiss or promise?" James asked.

"Truth." Eddie said straight away.

"Okay then. What are your intentions to my good buddy Sirius?" James said, his words were a bit slurred but he got the question across.

"Well, I don't know. I guess the worse kind of intentions." Eddie said evilly licking her lips and looking directly at Sirius. He grinned and winked.

"Okay, that answers that question. Your turn to spin Ed," Lily said. Eddie spinned and it landed on Lily.

"Dam." Lily said.

"Scared?" James asked smirking.

"Never," Lily said.

"Truth, dare, kiss. or promise?" Eddie asked.

"Dare." Lily said looking directly at James and glaring diffientely. But she was quite drunk so she began to giggle.

"Okay Lily, I dare you my dear to go have seven glorious minutes in heaven with this here James Potter." Lily looked at Eddie but didn't want to chicken out. She grabbed James by the hand.

"We'll be timing." Eddie called after them. James walked cooly behind Lily. It wasn't the first time he had played a game like this. Though his heart was secretly pounding a little faster. Lily pulled James into her room as there wasn't a closet. When they got in there Lily sat down on her bed and looked at James. He was standing fairly near as though waiting for her to say something. Lily feeling confident grabbed his t-shirt and pulled him down to her.

"Wouldn't want to waste this oppurtunity." Then she leaned in for a kiss. She leaned back onto her bed completely and James followed. He was so overtaken by her kissing. He was intoxicated. She was so confidently kissing him. Her tongue rimmed his mouth and slipped inside when his mouth opened. He leaned in further putting his body weight on her as they lay on her bed entangled. Lily couldn't think straight. All she could think was that she wanted to carry on kissing James. He ran his hands up her body and stroked her face before running it back down her body. He grabbed her ass pulled her closer to him. She could feel how aroused he was. She ran her hands under his shirt. His chest was hard from working out. Her hand had just reached the top of his trousers and his kissing was going down her neck to her chest when Eddie beated on the door shouting that time was up. James climbed off Lily and she only just then realised how scantilly clad she was. She was wearing hot pants pyjamas and a strap top and that was it. She patted her hair back to normal before they both left the room. They said nothing to each other the whole time. But once they were sat down in the circle again he looked over to her and winked as though telling her not to worry about it.

"So did you two have fun?" Eddie asked cheekily.

"You know it. Now I believe its my turn." Lily said confidentely. She spun the bottle and it landed on Sirius.

"You know the drill Sirius." Lily said.

"I believe I will choose kiss." Sirius said wiggling his eyebrows at Remus and blowing his a kiss. Remus pretended to catch it and blow one back. Everyone laughed at their camp actions.

"Okay, you have to kiss... " Lily got up grabbing a hankerchief that had appeared on the asking table and tied it around his eyes so he couldn't see. Sirius laughed and said, "Never knew you were so kinky." Which earned him a slap.

"You have to kiss the first person you catch in this game of blindsman buff. Boy or girl. " Lily said. Her friends all immediately jumped up and scattered themselves about the room. Sirius jumped up and tried to go towards where he thought the girls were. Everyone dodged out his way for a bit before finally he caught an arm of someone and he pulled them close. The person was Issy and she giggled as she quickly pecked him on the lips. He pulled his blindfold off and gave her a wink before rejoining the others at the table. Eddie looked a bit cheesed off that he didn't catch her but soon perked after he grabbed her ass and made her sit on his lap. They all got a round of alcoholic butter beers in and spun the bottle again. It landed on Lexi.

"Okay pick and choose baby," Sirius said.

"Dare me biatch, come on give me all you got." Lexi said taking a swig of her drink.

"Okay, I dare you to reinact your little streaking session except do it through the whole school." Sirius said triumphantely. Lexi grinned not afraid at all. She stood up went over to the portrait and called the girls over to hold her clothes. She stripped down right there and then and ran starkers down the hall at high speed.

"She could get in so much trouble," Issy said laughing her ass off. James came up behind Lily who was standing at the entrance alone while her friends checked the hall outside for any teachers patrolling.

"I wouldn't mind seeing you do that," James said cheekily.

"Oh really," Lily said. "Maybe you will, maybe you won't." Lily looked up at him and he was smiling down at her from his tall height. They were both still drunk and Lily felt like going back and doing what she had been doing in seven minutes in heaven.

"Come on," she whispered. She led him to her room. They went to her bed and got back to what they had been doing. Lily was kissing him passionately. But the alcohol got the better of her and she passed out cold asleep.

He just smiled. Moved the hair away from her face and fell asleep as well.
