Chapter 3: revenge is so sweet

Lily watched with shock at the stag that transformed into James Potter.

"This. Is. not. Good" she thought to herself, panicking.

She pushed herself from the ledge quickly but James, with his quidditch reflexes caught her wrists and pulled her towards him. He was now on his knees and the moon was bright enough for him to look at her features, noticing her dark red hair and emerald green eyes that looked at him with fear.

"Let go of me!" she struggled with no success.

James smiled when he saw her trying to escape. He was much stronger than she was, and Lily, seeing his amused face felt her fear replaced with anger.

She stopped and gave him a look full of hate, which surprised him.

"Let go of me" she said in deadly voice.

"Only if you won't swim away," he said calmly.

Lily looked at him for a few minutes, feeling her wrists starting to throb painfully.

"Fine" she answered at the end and he freed her wrists from his clutch. She took the opportunity and swam quickly of the place but an invisible shield stopped her.

She looked back at James and saw him with his wand raised, pointing at her direction.

"You promised," he said simply. Lily slammed her fists against the barrier until she heard James laughing.

"It's a strong spell and it won't disappear with physic attempts"

"What do you want from me?" she asked with a little frustration, turning to face him

"That you'll answer me some questions"

"Like what?"

"Like how do you know who I am?" he asked with curiosity.

She almost laughed in response "who doesn't know you? You're the James potter, the Gryffindor quidditch captain, the most popular, the selfish arrogant prat that almost every girl fall off her feet at the sight of you"

James's cocky smile that appeared at the beginning started to fade away at the end of her sentence.

He heard quite clearly the sarcasm in her voice and he looked at her with a frown.

No girl talks to James potter like that, no meter how gorgeous she looks. Said a voice in his head (that for some reason sounded a lot like Sirius)

"And how do you know about me so much?"

"I know everything. Look I answered your question now let me go!"

James raised his eyebrows, his confident smile back on his face "I don't think so"

Lily was ready to kill him on the spot. Not only that she has been through a very long day and her relaxation was ruined, but worst of all, her biggest enemy was the one to catch her off guard and without her disguise.

"Why not?"

"You still hadn't told me what's your name"

Lily looked at him strangely. He's got to be kidding me, she thought.

"What's it to you?" she asked suspiciously.

"Well It's the first time that I meet such a pretty mermaid as you and I would like to know how to name you" he answered, flashing his famous smile at her.

Lily's eyes widened with shock "he thinks I'm what!" the corners of her mouth twitched until she couldn't control it anymore and burst in laughter.

James looked at her confusedly. It was the first time that his charm wasn't working at all.

Lily shook her head and dived.

"Wait!" he yelled leaning further above the water.

Lily heard him and swam back upward.

"What?" she asked leaning on her elbows. It was too late for her to notice that there were less than a few inches of space between their faces.

His eyes wandered on her face and then focused on her lips.

Smiling he said "I believe I deserve an apology or at least you need to give me something for insulting me like that"

Lily's mouth dropped a little from shock. She saw him leaning a bit nearer towards her, their noses almost touching and smiled a half-smile.

She leant on one elbow and ran her second hand through his hair "well" she smiled seductively, her finger touching slightly his face and drawing an invisible line on his jaw "if you put it this way..." she closed her eyes and sank slowly back to the water. James smirked and leaned even further, ready to kiss her.

When his lips almost touched hers, Lily suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed his shoulders and pulled him towards the water.

James fell, with a surprised yell and a loud SPLASH into the lake. When he swam back up again he didn't saw the mermaid anywhere.

Lily was swimming near the middle of the lake and watched James trying to get out of the water and failing miserably. She laughed quietly, knowing that he would probably spend the rest of the night trying to get to the coast. From years of swimming at the Hogwarts Lake she knew that the only way to get up to the ledge is only if somebody else would help to get up. Usually the giant squid did that because of Mell's request.

"So this is James Potter?" whispered a voice near her. Lily looked at Mell and nodded

"The one and only"

Mell observed him for a second, smiling when he fell again to the water "he's quite cute for a human, no? Too bad he doesn't have a tail..."

Lily maid a sound full with disgust "oh please! Not you too!"

"JAMES!" somebody screamed near by.

Lily looked around and spotted a tall girl running towards James's figure that (again) fall to the water.

"Great" she whispered "now what?"

"Jamsie! Oh my god are you ok Jamsie?" Elany sat carefully on the ledge and peered to the water with a bit hesitation.

"What are you doing here?" James spat a mouth full of water "I thought you got back to school"

"And she suppose to be?" asked Mell.

"Elany Penthale" answered Lily frowning at the sight of her.

"Ahh, the pure-blood bimbo"

"Damn! My clothes are there and I can't let anyone else to see me like this"

"Don't worry," said Mell, putting a hand on lily's shoulder "you go to the land and I'll handle with those two"

"Thanks" smiled Lily at her. They hugged before Mell disappeared in the lake.

Lily climbed to the coast when she heard a loud shriek and a second later a loud scream "something grabbed my foot!" she smiled, quite disappointed that she can't stay and watch Mell's "handling" with Potter and Penthale.

She summoned her clothes and glasses, got dressed and run back to the castle.

Lily burst to the Gryffindor common room startling Jessica and Viviane that set there alone chatting.

"What's the meter?" asked Jess seeing Lily's face.

"Potter.." breathed Lily "in the lake.."

Vi' gasped in surprise "he saw you?"

Lily nodded, falling with tiredness into an armchair "red hair, green eyes, everything" Lily muttered.

"Oh my god.." whispered Jess.

"That's not the worst part," added Lily.

"What else?"

"He tried to.." Lily started but stopped shivering in disgust.

"What? Come on tell us!" bagged Vi' sitting on the edge of the sofa.

"He tried to kiss me" answered Lily in a low voice. There was a moment of shocked silence, before Jess, trying to suppress her grin asked "so what did you do?"

Lily looked at Vi', whose shoulders were shaking with silent laughter.

"Sorry" she said quickly giving a fake cough.

Lily looked back at Jess, now smirking "do you know the trick- "seduce and then dump?"

"Yeah, so?" asked Jess confusedly.

"Well..." smiled Lily "I did the same to Potter, only with a slight change. It was more like "seduce and then pull to the water" a very cold water"

"Lily, you didn't" laughed Vi' almost falling from the sofa.

"You should have seen him" laughed Lily herself, leaning back "all soaked wet with sea weeds in his hair...it was priceless! Too bad I didn't have a camera..."

"Hold on, start telling from the beginning"

Lily told them exactly what have happened from the moment that she got caught by James until the moment she saw Elany running to the lake.

"So what did you do with James and Elany?" asked Vi', after she got up from the floor from laughing so much.

"I left Mell to take care of them" shrugged Lily.

Right at this moment James and Elany entered through the portrait hole, their wet clothes sticking to their body. The girls stopped laughing and looked at them.

After a moment of staring, Lily curled in her armchair, took a book from the table and stared at its cover, the corners of her mouth twitching.

Vi' started to cough really hard this time, not able to breath properly.

Jess raised her eyebrows at them "and what happened to you two?" she asked casually.

"N-non o-of y-your b-bus-iness, B-B-Benory" stuttered Elany, shaking with cold and went up to the girls dorm.

James didn't answer but just glared at Jess, which only made her smile wider.

When the girls heard two doors shutting loudly, they burst again in laughter, this time all three fall to the carpet without being able to get up again.

"Revenge is so sweet" thought Lily, smiling mischievously and looking at the direction where James disappeared.

"C'mon kids stay with me, I don't want to loose you" said a tall woman with dark hair and eyes to her twin children.

"But mom" whined the ten-year-old girl "I wanna find Jess, and Lils, and Vi'.."

"We'll find them quicker if we'll split up" continued her twin, a ten-year-old boy.

"No, you heard me- Helen! What a surprise!"

"Erica, my darling! How are you?"

Erica smiled and hugged a woman with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. The woman named Helen looked down and smiled kindly.

"And those two angels are yours?" The twins exchanged glances and smiled.

"I'm Jamie, and between you and us-"

"We're far from angels. And my name is Julie" they stretched their hands which Helen shook with a serious expression, her eyes sparkling with laughter.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Helen Potter"

Julie's mouth dropped "Potter?"

"Do you happen to have a son named James Potter?"

"Yes, do you know him?"

"Oh..." started Jamie looking at his twin

"We heard a thing or two about him" smiled Julie secretly.

"Mom, can we go now? The train arrived" Erica looked at the train's doors which opened and a sea of kids went out.

"Well, all right, but don't get too far"

"We won't" smiled Jamie

"Thanks mom" hugged her Julie and the twins run towards the crowd.

"Sweet little kids" mentioned Helen smiling towards her friend.

"Yes. Unfortunately they only listen to two people"

"You and your husband?"

"No. My daughter Jessica and Lily Evens"

The twins walked together holding hands and looked in every direction.

"You see them?" asked Jamie, standing on his tiptoes trying to have a better view.

"Not in the last ten minutes.. Hold it!" stopped Julie in place, her eyes spotting a tall boy with sandy hair "here is someone who can help us"

"Remi!" Remus got startled when two small kids suddenly hugged him forcefully.

"Hey guys, how are you?" he looked down at them, smiling.

"All cool. We're looking for Jess, Lils and Vi'" said Jamie.

"Sorry, didn't see them on the train"

"Hey Moony! There you are!" two boys with black hair and with several girls that surrounded them got closer, grinning from ear to ear.

"Where have you- who are those little kids?" asked one of them with confusion.

Jamie's face got redder. From all the insults that he heard, he hated being called a "little".

"Let me guess, you're Sirius Black?" asked Jamie with a fake smile.

"Yeah" Sirius answered with surprise "how did you know?"

"They're Jess's brother and sister," explained Remus.

"Really?" asked Sirius his smile grows wider.

"Yeah, and Jess told us about you"

"Which means that you are the infamous James Potter" Julie looked up and smiled at the second tall boy with messy hair and glasses.

James looked pleased "so Jess told you about me as well?"

"Not Jess-"

"Lily" answered Jamie.

"Who?"

"He means Evens," said Remus

"Evens?" laughed Sirius

"The swamp monster?" frowned Elany.

James smiled arrogantly "I always knew that Evens has a crush on me"

The twin's hands clutched into fists.

"Well" smiled Julie sweetly "she told us a lot about you"

"You know" commented Jamie looking at his sister "his head doesn't seem so big but maybe it's because we're too close to him"

"What did you say?" frowned James. The twins looked back at him, not before smiling mischievously at each other

"You see" started Jamie "Lily always said that your head is so big that it's quite surprising that you can walk in the Great Hall without bumping your head in the ceiling"

"No" interrupted Julie, looking at Jamie with a frown "she said that his head is so big that he doesn't even need a broom to fly in the air. His arrogance is doing it for him"

"No I'm sure-"

"She did say that-"

"So that's what Evens told you about me?" James asked, greeting his teeth with anger, when he heard some people gasping with shock of the twins courage to tell James Potter such things, or muttering between themselves. He didn't like to be humiliated in front of his friends, fans and admirers, and right now his little group was starting to get bigger with curious people who wanted to know what's going on.

"Actually.." said Julie looking thoughtful for a second.

"Guys.." warned Remus, looking worriedly at James who clutched his wand.

"Remi, the guy wants to know, I don't see any problem with that" smiled Jaime still looking at James's expression.

"She did mentioned that you're a bulling dork-"

"-A toerag"

"-Arrogant"

"-Selfish"

"-Womanizer"

"No that's Sirius Black" interrupted Jamie, looking at his twin.

"Evens called me a womanizer?" asked Sirius with one eyebrow raised.

"No"

"Jess did"

"Really? Probably one of the things that she likes about me" smirked Sirius. "let me guess, she always say how much handsome I am, right?"

Jamie looked at him with blank look on his face

"Not really" answered Julie instead.

"So what she say?"

"That your mouth is bigger than Potter's head"

"And that's saying something" commented someone from the crowd

"Jess!" yelled the twins happily hugging the dark haired girl with blue-green eyes that smirked at Sirius.

"There you are guys, we've been looking all over for you" said another black haired girl with glasses.

"Sorry Lily" said Julie hugging her.

"We've been occupied" mentioned Jamie hugging her as well.

"Yes I can see that" Lily's eyes looked from the marauders to their fan girls and to the rest of the people "what's with the crowd?" she asked.

"Move along! There's nothing to see here!" yelled a third voice. A girl with honey-brown hair and soft brown eyes pushed people aside. The people did what she said because no one wanted to mess with Viviane and her tamper. The marauders, Elany, Lily, Jess, Vi' and the twins were the only that stayed in place.

"We need to go now," said Lily loudly, looking straight at Jess, who got the message and walked away with the twins. Lily followed her after squeezing slightly Vi's hand and giving her a meaningful look which Vi' returned with a smile.

Vi' walked closer to Remus suddenly feeling shy

"thanks for finding them"

"It's more that they found me" smiled Remus at her.

She looked at her shoes for a second and then back at him "you should come and visit us at the house this summer"

"I will, I promise, you should come too"

Vi' nodded and started to walk away.

"Hey Remus" she suddenly turned.

"Yes?" Remus looked at her hopeful

"Wanna join us for dinner today?"

"Sure" his smile made her blush a little.

"Great see you at seven then"

"Bye"

"Bye"

Vi' turned around almost skipping with joy.

Lily and Jess looked at their friend with crossed fingers

"Don't blow it" whispered Jess

"It just a little question how hard can it get?" but lily looked anxious as well.

"Well?" they asked their friend once she joined them

"I asked"

"And?" they asked in unison.

"He said yes" VI' smiled happily.

Jess was about to squeal but Lily covered her mouth with her hand "ssshhh, they still in ear shot" Jess giggled silently and walked with Vi' towards her mother.

Lily felt that someone was watching her and she turned around looking straight into James's hazel eyes, his gaze burring into hers. Lily smiled slightly and walked away with each twin in other side.

"Did I mentioned how much I love you?" The twins laughed in response.

"You welcome, lily"

"Any time"

"Here they are" said Erica seeing the six children getting nearer.

"You should owl me" said Helen "but the problem is that we're moving out"

"Really? Where to?"

"We're going to live next to the Lupin's house, one of our friends in-"

"I know where it is!" interrupted Erica excitedly "the Lupins are good friends of us as well. We live the next street from them"

"It's got to be fate" laughed Helen "better I'll owl you when we settle down in two weeks"

"I'll look forward to it" they hugged and bid goodbye before turning in different directions.

A/n: I based Jamie&Julie on the Weasley twins so lets just say that they're going to annoy James and Sirius a lot when the next year will start.
