Ch.2

AN: chapter two! If you haven't read chapter one yet then you're slacking! Ahaha! Shoutout to "in wreck need a check" for being the lone reviewer as of this publication. Enjoy!

James jumped from doorknob to doorknob, slathering gooey, sticky honey all over them. It was his latest prank idea for all the teachers (and students for that matter). As always, Sirius was at his shoulder keeping a lookout by using the Marauders Map, Peter was holding the jar of honey, and Remus was keeping Lily occupied with something called "The Scarlet Letter." James figured it was something he read in a charms book because there was no such thinga a scarlet letter unless you paint it red.

"Gonna paint a wagon, gonna paint it good," James sung as he moved from door to door. "Gonna paint with honey, my gift to the whole school!"

"Prongs, you may be a lot of things, but the next singing sensation isn't one of them," Sirius said loudly because he had his hands clamped firmly over his ears.

"Posh!" James replied lightly before continuing to sing, but with a different tune, "tripping, and dying, and joking and pranking, and snogging Lily Evans, these are a few of my favorite things!"

"Is that even a real song? It sounds off," Peter piped up.

"Of course it's a real song! I heard Lily singing something similar to it and just added my own lyrics."

Peter and Sirius exchanged a look but didn't comment. They just continued down the hall, slathering doorknobs. By the time they had finished, James had managed to sing his way through the entirety "My Fair Lady" using his own lyrics. Sirius and Peter had since charmed themselves using the mufliato charm they stole off of Severus Snape.

"Job well done team!" James yawned as he pulled his pajamas over hid head and climbed into bed. "Tomorrow, we shall laugh at all the kids that are stuck to the doorknobs."

"James, they will just have sticky hands," Remus corrected.

"That's what you think, Moony," Sirius said, half conscious. "You see, we charmed the honey so that when you grabbed the door, the honey will fasten your hand to the door."

"What?"

"You heard him," James said softly as his thoughts drifted off into the future as he and Lily died protecting their son from Voldemort. He smiled in his sleep, life is good.

Meanwhile, Lily tugged and pulled at her hand that was currently fastened to the doorknob of the head's private bathroom. She was enjoying a soothing bubble bath after having a heated debate about whether Hester Prynne or Arthur Dimmesdale suffered more in the repercussions of their acts of adultery. She had just stepped into her warm, fragrant bath when she realized she dropped her knickers outside.

Quickly jumping out of the tub, Lily threw a towel around her body and ran outside to grab them. Sure enough, the cherry pie printed undergarment was a little ways outside the door and she ran to snatch them up. When she grabbed the knob of the door to dash back into the bathroom without being detected, she found her had stuck to the knob.

"JAMES POTTER!" Lily cried. He had to be the culprit of this. At least I have underwear on Lily thought optimistically. She sank to the floor. She would open the door and summon her wand, but Peeves kept passing by, waiting for the opportunity to make her towel fall and Lily was forced to keep a her only cover firmly grasped in her hand.

Lily looked around. Knowing James, he would come around to see who his trapped worked on and then she will let him have it.

For some reason, a smile spread across Lily's face. The thought of letting James have it gave way to a new idea: beating that boyfriend of hers at his own game. All she had to do was get him to feel so awful about painting the doorknobs with glue that he will never think of pranking anyone ever again.

So Lily, being able to reach her copy of "The Scarlet Letter," and a muggle pen that she used to mark her place with her foot, sat down and constructed a letter.

AN: cliffhanger! Please review. The next chapter will be up shortly. Like within the next couple of hours...maybe
