A/N- Sorry it took so long to update, I've been extremely busy and then the hard drive on my computer crashed, so I had to wait to get a new one. I personally think that this was a horrible chapter, so I will re-do it if anybody asks, but only if I get suggestions on how to fix it. I also need ideas for the pranks that the Marauders are going to do on Harry. Please give me ideas on what to do! Any suggestions on how to make this story better will be welcome, as I'm in a writer's block on how to keep the story going. I've got absolutely no plot so far! And don't worry, Ginny will be coming into the story in the next few chapters.

Lily loved being a detective. She loved solving problems, they were just so, so … problematic! Her newest project seemed to be the new student, Harry Porter. He was a nice boy and was her friend, but he was a mystery. And a good detective must solve all possible mysteries! He said very oxymoronic things, for example; he claimed that he was home schooled, but twice he's claimed to have teachers. How can you have teachers when you're home schooled? He even said that his friend's dad taught them their subjects! Lily supposed that she'd just have to find more clues to solve the mystery that is Harry Porter.

Now because she was busy solving the mystery of Harry Porter, she didn't pay that much attention in Ancient Runes. With the Ancient Runes professor shaking her head in confusion about her best student's lack of attention today, Lily hurried out of class to find Harry in the Library.

She found him in a secluded part of the Library, writing furiously on some parchment. As she approached him, he looked up and gave her a bright smile.

"Lily! Thank god, I may be good at practical magic, but my essays sure do fail!" he whispered excitedly.

Lily laughed quietly and sat down opposite him. She leaned over and grabbed his essay. She read it over quickly, making corrections with her wand, quite frequently.

"It's not bad, you just have lots of grammar mistakes. The content is good though. It still needs to be longer, Professor Flitwick asked for two rolls and you only have a roll and a half. He also likes it if you write more than he assigned."

"Thanks, Lily. About writing more than two rolls, I think I'll pass because I'm going to have a hard time writing one roll!"

Lily just laughed to herself and pulled out her own parchment and started her essay. Lily and Harry sat together in silence for a while; just writing their essays, until Lily finally broke the silence.

"Did you have to write essay when you were home schooled?" she asked.

"Ya, my friend's dad wanted us to be prepared for a job, so he taught us everything by the American curriculum."

"Is the curriculum different here than it was in America?"

" Not by much. The only reason I did the Aquamenti Charm first was because we learned that last year."

"I see. So how do you like Hogwarts so far?"

" I love it. It's a big change though, from going from a couple of kids to hundreds of kids. And the ghost are a bit creepy."

"Yes, they do take some time to get used to. I'm glad that you love it though." Lily said smiling, and then she looked down at her watch and gasped. "Oh no! It's almost dinner! We better go!"

They quickly gathered their things and rushed out of the Library and towards the Great Hall. They made it just after the food had appeared and sat down beside Alice and Marlene.

"Glad that you two finally decide to come out of hibernation from the Library. We were starting to get worried that we'd have to send in a Rescue party in to rescue you." Marlene joked.

Lily just wacked her on the back of the head and said, "I was just helping Harry get used to being in a school."

The girls continued to banter back and forth for the rest of dinner, with Harry occasionally contributing. Soon they were all laughing, and none of them noticed that the Marauders had been watching them and had left dinner early.

In the Marauder's dorm, however, there was no laughing.

"We need to prank Porter to set him in his place at Hogwarts. Did you see him sitting with Lily and laughing along with her? Nobody does that with my Lily!" James ranted to his best friends.

"You're right James, I think Porter's getting a little bit to comfortable here at Hogwarts." Agreed Sirius.

"I think you guys are overreacting." Remus sighed.

"Shush Mooney, this guys trouble. He does well classes, yet he's never been to an actual school. He doesn't seem bothered by the fact that there are hundreds of students and ghosts. He's hiding something!" James said angrily, disappointed in his friend because he didn't agree with him.

"I'm in." Wormtail said weakly, knowing that Remus was going to be out-voted.

"Thanks, Peter. Now what kind of prank should we do? It has to be embarrassing and original, but I don't think we should cause any real damage for now. We'll save that for later. Hmm." James muttered to himself.

"I think your just jealous, James." Remus said, but his comment was ignored.

"How about turning him pink? No, we've done that to many times. What about – no, that won't be good either." James was starting to ramble now. "Any ideas Padfoot?"

"Well, since this is going to be a big prank, it's going to take some time to come up with it. We should probably execute it the day after tomorrow, so that would be Friday. Maybe we should make him skip and only speak in rhymes or something like that." Sirius suggested, getting into his pranking mode. It was the only time he ever spoke so intelligently.

The Marauders continued to plan their 'master prank' for about an hour. They were making progress about, but still had no idea what it should be. They decided that it would begin in the Great Hall and that it would last the entire day.

"We still need a name for this." Sirius declared suddenly, surprising the two other boys in the door. Remus had left a while ago, refusing to help with this prank.

"Why?" squeaked Peter.

"So that we can record it in our master pranks book. So I was thinking Operation PP!"

"Operation pee pee? Padfoot! What kind of name is that?" laughed James.

" Not pee pee! PP! Operation Prank Porter!"

By now James was on the floor laughing.

"Honestly James! It's a good name! Stop laughing! I mean it. Operation PP is a good name!" Sirius said indignantly. But his words only made James laugh harder and Peter collapse in laughter. Sirius, finally fed up about being mocked, left the room with his nose in the air and his chest out. This, of course, just made James and Peter laugh harder than before.

A/N- Don't forget to give me ideas for pranks! I'll be putting the best pranks in this story and giving credit to whoever suggested it!!! REVIEW!!!!!
