A/N: Sorry it took so long to update! Rachel, my editor, has been on and off traveling and it's been hard to get in contact w/ her. But, anyways... here it is, chapter 4! (We made it extra long to make up for the long wait)

"I can't believe the nerves that...GIRL... has. I mean who would challenge the Marauders? A freak— that's who. Only a freak would challenge the Marauders," I almost yelled. I was back to my normal position pacing in front of my friends, ranting.

"Well we have pranked them every year for quite a while and I always said it was only a matter of time before someone struck back," the ever sensible Moony said without looking up from his book.

"I like the idea of a prank war. Plus it gives us a reason to take out..." Sirius stopped and looked around at each of us, "…The Book."

I gasped and Moony put down his book. "Are you sure its time?" I said. "That book has all the greats in it. Some of them have never managed to have been pulled off!"

"You want to impress Evans with all of out great pranks and beat her right? Well this is the only way," Sirius said.

I nodded and looked at Moony. We couldn't get The Book if he didn't approve. He sighed and rolled his eyes but nods anyway. "The book is the only way, but I am pretty sure that if you use it Lily will hate you for the rest of your life."

"It has to be done," I said, praying that my flower would still love me after all of this was over. ; )

Lily, Britia, and Jess

"That stupid, arrogant, pompous, big headed freak!" I muttered. "He thinks he can outsmart us, does he? Well… we'll just see about that. Ok girls, we need some top notch pranks and we need them ASAP."

"Well Miss Lily flower, while you have been pacing I have been planning. What we need to do is make a book of all of our ideas and put them together. Then we'll have all of the pranks we need," Britia said matter-of-fact-ly.

"Your right," I stated. "Also, we need to go to the library and get some charms books. Jess, why don't you do that? Birtia— we need some information on the Marauders, such as there favorite things and their greatest fears. Since you are James cousin, do you think you could do that?" I asked.

They both nodded and Jess asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Me? I will be making potions." That got both of them grinning. They knew that I has the highest potions grade in the school and knew that I could do some damage.

James (Prongs), Sirius (Padfoot), and Remus (Moony)

"Yo, Padfoot! Get off my shoulder," I yelled. Sirius of course just kicked me and kept on going.

"Be quite Prongs!" he yelled. "I'm almost there. Just a little… farther... got it!" Sirius then jumped down off my shoulders holding a package. Both Moony and I moved closer to see what it was.

"Do you think that's it?" Remus asked, out of breath.

"It has to be," I replied. "The ultimate book of pranks, passed down through generations of Hogwarts pranksters."

Sirius carefully removed the brown paper, revealing a three inch thick book with a golden cover that sparkled as the light caught it. Engraved on the cover was the title Life of a prankster and the ultimate pranks to get through it.

"It's beautiful," Sirius breathed. "I can't believe we really have this. It's been here since Hogwarts opened. Some of these pranks are ancient!"

"Well boys," I said with renewed energy, "let's get busy, we have a war to win."

Lily, Britia, and Jess

Beep. Beep. Beep.

"Murmp…" I mumbled, and rolled over about to forget about the alarm when I remembered: today was the day. It was the beginning of the 'War'. I quickly sat up in bed and undid the charm I did on the floor last night. It would wake everyone up in the girls' dorm if one person touched the floor other than the house elves and the girls and I.

I then proceeded to wake the other girls up and started getting ready. Since it was 'The Day' (as I had dubbed it), I needed to do something special. Since I had to wear my uniform, I could only do make-up and hair. Plus, I knew that it would drive Potter crazy. Even though we were going into war with each other, he still insisted on asking me out multiple times everyday.

I started with a basic coat of concealer to hide any flaws on my face, and then I put on eyeliner and mascara to give my eyes a smoky look, with just a little bit of green eye shadow to bring out my eyes. Next, I applied a little blush so that my cheeks were just a tad bit rosy and finished it off with a coat of clear lip gloss that was almost unnoticeable.

Britia and Jess, who wore make-up every day also pumped it up a bit. We quickly performed several charms on each other to keep any spells off. We knew that the Marauders were smart, especially with Remus on their side, but they wouldn't think of charms to keep things off. The charms we were using were pretty basic but worked quite well. We used one to keep our clothes and hair from changing colors and/or falling out. The other charm we used was awesome; I found it when I was looking through a university charm book. What it did was send any basic charms that were thrown at us back at the senders.

After we were ready, we slowly descended the stairs to the common room with our bags slung across our shoulders. The common room was almost empty but the ones who were there were staring at us like we were angels. (I guess it is a shock to see three girls who are usually in the nerd group looking hot.) We quickly walked the halls until we got to the great hall, and I stopped Britia and Jess right before we were about to enter. "Ok guys, it begins pronto. But before it starts, I made us all something." I reached into my bag and pulled out three necklaces all with a golden rose on and under it had the letters F.O.R. (Flowers of Revenge). "So that people always know who we are."

"Oh, Lily," Jess breathed, "they are beautiful."

"Wear them with pride, girls." We quickly put them on, composed ourselves, and entered the Great Hall. Everyone went silent again as we went and took our seats. We decided to do everything in sync just to freak everyone out. After a few minutes, everyone went back the their meals. I knew that something was coming. I could just tell that something was going to happen by the way that the Marauders were staring at us. I knew that they were going to throw a hex, or spell or something at us. I also knew that if I really wanted I could block the spell but I decided to let the charm we had on us reflect it back them. I nudged Jess and Britia to let them know that it was coming.

In sync (just like we planned), we all looked up directly at the Marauders and crossed our arms. The Marauder used a color spell so that the whole Great Hall could see that it was them that sent it and that it was going at us, we just calmly waited until the spell hit us but we didn't feel a thing. The spell had just disappeared, or so it looked to them. While the Marauders were looking around for someone who might've blocked the spell, it actually went right back at them. There was a poof of color which slowly went away to show the marauders in bright pink tutus with the words 'Ooohh look at the cute little ballerina girls!'

James was furious. "How the hell did you do that? You threw our spell back at us without even lifting your wand!"

"Who says we needed to use a spell right now to block your stupid spell?" I replied calmly. "I mean, after all, we are smarter than you."

"Evans, you will pay for this!" James yelled.

"Oh dear!" I said sarcastically. "Poor little Potter, that's a good way to get me to go out with you," I said getting a few laughs from the Great Hall. "Now if you're finished, girls, I have a class to get to. See you later!" With that said I picked up my bag and left the Great Hall with Britia and Jess right behind me. Right when we were about to leave I quickly turned around with my wand pointed at the girls and said a spell that made them start dancing ballet around the great hall. I then turned again and walked out of the Great Hall to cheering.

James, Sirius (Padfoot), Remus (Moony)

" I can't believe they did that," Sirius wailed, once we were out of the Great Hall and back into our uniforms. "They turned our own spell against us without even trying! How the hell did they do that?"

"We underestimated them, that's what happened. You two happen to have forgotten that Lily Evans has the highest grade in the school, not year. And James, even though you have the second highest grade in the school, Lily also has common sense, something I don't think you have a lot of," Remus replied, somewhat sulkily.

"But I do have the second highest grade in the school, and our grades can't be separated by that much, so how did she block our spell without a wand?" I yelled. It didn't make any sense.

"That's obvious," I was amazed to turn and see that Padfoot had said that and not Moony. "Cleary they put a protection spell on themselves. I have heard of one that did exactly what happened but it is very, very high sorcery."

"Great! Now Evans can do protection spells that we can't. What does the spell do, exactly?" I asked.

"Well it takes all complex spells thrown at the person or persons and makes them disappear, then it throws the spell back at the person or persons who cast the spell in the first place. But it only works with certain spells. They can't be two big or to small."

"So," Remus said, "We need to change our spells so that they are either too small to notice or too big to block."

"That sounds easy enough," I said, feeling much better now that we had that taken care of. "So what do you think they are going to throw at us and when?"

"I don't know," Remus replied, thinking. "I assumed they would attack at breakfast like us but since they turned our spell against us I don't know when they will attack. As for what, it's obvious we should not underestimate them. I know that Lily is really good in charms and potions and Jess is good at physical things and transfiguration. Also since Britia is your cousin Prongs we need to watch out for what will happen with her."

"Ok," I started, "Now that we have our plan let's get to class, and be on the lookout for anything strange." With that said I started to walk to DADA with Moony and Padfoot right behind me. I will win this war, I thought, and with it I will also win Lily's heart!
