Chapter 8 – Of plotting, planning, and pepper

Over the next few days, Lily and James spent their time in the clearing in the forest, playing with an ever growing Tomi, and planning revenge on their best friends.

Mya and Sirius were tormented with curiosity, they had no idea what had happened in the broom cupboard, or, indeed, if anything had happened at all. Lily and James were acting as if nothing had happened.

"How should we get our own back then?" Lily asked thoughtfully

"Erm..." James pondered for a minute, then grinned, "I have an idea"

Lily grinned,

"Does it land them both in detention?"

James nodded wickedly

"Let's hear it!" Lily laughed.

James rubbed his hands together with a glint of 'evil maniac'ishness about him,

"Well, what we do is wait until a morning when Sirius and Mya are kissing-"

Lily interrupted

"That shouldn't be long to wait!"

James snorted and continued

"-and charm them so that they can't stop for more than two minutes at a time-"

Lily interrupted again

"That'll hurt everyone's eyes though!"

James looked hurt that she wasn't captivated by his plan, and continued as if she hadn't spoken

"-and we'll do it on a day that we have Transfiguration... and... Potions"

Lily cracked up

"What on earth will McGonogall say?" she laughed. "She'll think they're like, obsessed with each other or something!"

James grinned, glad that Lily approved

"And you know what Sirius hates? Being seen to be madly in love with someone! We all, including him, know that he loves Mya more than anyone else... but he still hates to be seen like that... and he won't like being constantly told off... and Mya'll get embarrassed! AND there are Slytherins in our class, that last thing he wants is to be seen kissing his girlfriend in front of them!"

"Perfect" agreed Lily.

"Morning!" greeted James, the next day.

He was met with silence, Sirius and Mya were too busy to take any notice of him, hidden in a corner, snogging the living daylight out of each other.

James scowled.

When Lily came down from a night in the girls' dorms, he said

"Today, we do it today"

Lily nodded, trying to suppress her laughter.

As they filed into Transfiguration, and sat down to wait for Professor McGonogall, James pointed his wand at Mya and Sirius and muttered something.

The two plotters watched with silent laughter as Sirius' eyes widened with astonishment as his arms grabbed Mya and started to kiss her again, his legs standing up of their own accord and backing her against a wall, so as to kiss her harder. Lily was almost doubled up, she was laughing so much.

Most of the class were watching in interest. A few Slytherins were sniggering.

When Professor McGonogall entered, her eyes widened,

"Miss Klinton, Mr Black! What kind of behavior is this? Sit down at once, this is no place for... that"

Mya and Sirius seemed to have a good deal of trouble pulling apart, but then they came and sat down, both very red

"Pro-Professor, we didn't mean to, something forced us-"

"Mr Black, do you think I am totally stupid?" Professor McGonogall looked at him sharply.

Sirius fell silent.

The next hour was one of the funniest that the class had ever known. Every two minutes, Sirius and Mya would end up kissing each other, and Professor McGonogall got more and more worked up as the time passed by. Eventually she sent them outside. When Lily and James left the classroom at the end of the lesson (James had removed the spell in the last five minutes of the lesson) they found a very embarrassed Mya and Sirius waiting for them.

"What happened?" asked James innocently "We know you two love each other, but you couldn't keep your hands off each other today could you?"

Sirius looked stunned

"I don't know, every couple of minutes we just... I dunno... found ourselves kissing again... it was really weird" he said shakily.

"You seem fine to me!" chirped Lily.

Just then, Peeves cartwheeled overhead, spraying them all with pepper, from an enormous pepper grinder,

"ACHOO!" he yelled "SNEEZY SNEEZY! WHEEZY WHEEZY!"

As Sirius started sneezing, Lily and James ran around a corner, and ducked into a spare classroom for safety.

"Idiotic poltergeist" James huffed

"Oh well" soothed Lily, slipping her arms around his neck, and toying with his hair.

James grinned.

Once Sirius had recovered from his sneezing fit, he and Mya walked together to Potions. Of course, exactly the same problem happened. By the end of the lesson James had had enough, and removed the charm. But Sirius and Mya were mortified.

"Great" Sirius said sullenly "Two detentions, from different teachers, for the same weird thing"

"And all the Slytherins in the SCHOOL laughing at us" sulked Mya, still pink faced with embarrassment.

Lily and James tried not to smile.

Sirius pulled Mya into the Room of Requirement.

"It was Prongs I BET!" he yelled

Mya looked puzzled,

"You can't be sure though, I mean, I think he would have done it to Rem and Freya if he was gonna do it to one of us, I mean, everyone already knows we're going out!"

"Yeah but, you know... that was embarrassing... and they know it was us who pushed them into that cupboard, they'd want revenge"

"I wonder what happened in that cupboard?" Mya pondered

"Yeah..." Sirius added.

Mya pulled him closer to her and kissed up his neck

"I don't care who it was" she whispered in between kisses "we're alone now..."

Sirius wrapped his arms around her and kissed her, trying to forget his horrid day.

"Do you think that was mean of us?" Lily asked James, as they put up an umbrella to go down to the clearing

"Yeah, a bit... they deserved it though!" James said thoughtfully

Lily nodded, they huddled together under the umbrella and ran for the forest.

Tomi was sat waiting for them, looking very forlorn in the driving rain.

"Awww, poor baby, poor Tomi, we'll cover you up now, don't worry..." Lily soothed. James tried to repress a grin. Together, he and Lily lifted the heavy tarpaulin and heaved it over the cage, covering it completely, and shielding Tomi from the rain.

They ducked under the edge, and stood under the tarpaulin, arms around each other for warmth.

"Aw, she's sooooo sweet!" Lily cooed as Tomi curled up to sleep. James stroked her hair thoughtfully,

"What are you like?" he asked, "You love her more than me" he pouted

Lily laughed at his antics,

"Of course I don't..." she murmured, kissing him gently.

"Oh good" James kissed her nose quickly, then said,

"C'mon, let's go back up to the castle, it's freezing out here."

Lily nodded.
