Chapter Three- Charming Charades

Everytime you're near baby, I get kinda crazy in my head for you. I don't know what to do. And oh baby, I get kinda shaky when they mention you. I just lose my cool.

Finally, I've broken away from the mindless staring! I'm back at my freaky school as my cow of a sister dubbed it. So, the first week has already passed; I've never much cared for the first week all it consists of is of the sorting, feast, teacher lectures, and review. Who needs review? Not Lily Evans.

Anyways, this year, I've discovered either a passion, or extreme dislike of it. Haven't decided yet. Well, since I'm just rattling on I had better get to the point.

So here I am in my first Charms class of the year, which happens to be my best subject. Well, Professor Flitwick decided we needed to review urgh… hair coloring charms. He asks for two volunteers and of course I volunteer as always. But, me volunteering caused Ja-Potter to volunteer. We find ourselves standing in front of the classroom, while he charms my hair first. So when I hear half the class laughing, I immediately take a gander at my self. There I am standing right there in the midst of the whole class of 7th years with green hair. Oohhh Potter had to pay, he asked for it. So now I'm sitting in the girls' dorm trying to explain my actions, which were completely justified, to Ashley.

"Ash! He turned my hair green! He said it matched my freakin' eyes! Honestly, who does that but James freaking Potter? But I got him better"

"Lily… do I really want to know what you did?"

This is where I erupt in a fit of giggles. She will be following suit once she hears…

"Yes you do. Well there I am with green hair, which I immediately change back to this oh so gorgeous red. Anyways, I'm seething like always after an encounter with Potter. But, this time I managed to keep my little temper tantrum in check. Instead I decide to use my world renowned Charms skills."

More giggles, but I catch a glance at the glare Ashley is throwing my way and decide to continue on with the story. You do not want to get on the wrong side of Ashley Layne. She's got a few mean hexes up her sleeves. I suppose that's what I get for being best friends with a future Auror.

"Well, I changed all his hair pink. And I mean ALL his hair. But that's not even the best part that comes later. Pink hair wasn't enough though so I had to add a little extra. So, on the back of his head I wrote 'I'm a Git' in a very, very bright purple. Potter almost had a heart attack when he caught sight of his messy pink hair. I don't think he even realized the Git part, but I'm sure he'll hear about it later. "

"Lily Evans! You didn't!"

"Erm, as a matter of fact… I did… but there's more. After his little tantrum, I turned his hair back. Well except, I think I accidentally forgot some. Although, I don't think he's realized it yet. Maybe when he gets out of the shower he'll burst in to the common room screaming, if you catch my drift Ash."

"Lil! I really didn't want to know that, and why his hair there, was a part of this little prank you pulled is far beyond me. Unless, you find yourself thinking-"

She didn't get much farther with that insinuating comment. I managed to cut her off skillfully. Oh and so much for the part with her laughing about it as I was.

"Yes I am thinking about Sirius right now as a matter of fact."

Okay not so skillful, but it managed to throw her off guard, while I had time to recoup.

"Anyways, lets get down to the common room so we don't miss this display of affection from the lovely James stupid freakin' git Potter. He's probably coming up from Quidditch practice about now."

So with Ashley in tow, we drift down in to the crowded common room. At that very moment we are graced with the presence of sweat covered Quidditch players, including one of my other best friends Alexis. However, since she seems to be heading to the showers as well, I can't explain the humorous situation that is about to occur. So, while waiting for James to finish showering all that sweat off those Quidditch toned muscles… I mean after he rinses himself of all the grime on what I am sure are rock hard abs… Okay. What in the world is wrong with me… thinking of Potter in the shower. Not that it wouldn't be a nice sight, but I'm not supposed to be thinking about that. That's what the fan club does. I think I need to take a visit to St. Mungos.

Okay starting over. After Potter decides to grace us with his presence after an extended shower where I'm sure all he thought about was his arrogant self (whew much better) we'll get a laugh in.

And at that very moment, my little prank came to an apex. This is the point where we hear what sounds like a terrified little girl, otherwise known as a surprised James Potter. With the shocking surprise, he just happens to run in to the common room with just a towel on. And then the stupid fan club erupts in giggles and shrieks about how oh so adorable he is, while I'm standing their entranced by the body I assumed he had. That's when I realize that I have completely gone insane.

"Evans, turn it back now."

Now I wonder what he could be talking about. What could I turn back that would help him? Hmm… any answers?

"Turn what back Potter?" I put on my most innocent face I can manage while suppressing a snort from coming out.

"You know what this is about, now undo it."

"What? You don't like pink hair?"

Now this statement causes everyone to glance up at James's sopping wet hair, which appears as black as ever. Maybe they'll catch on. Yep! By the few laughs I just heard I believe they've realized what I've done.

"I honestly have no idea what you're mumbling on about, but I would be glad to give you something to complain about."

This is where he storms off in a fit about red heads and pink hair. Who knew the guy would be so concerned about hair that no one sees. Well… I hope no one sees, but knowing his reputation… Anyways I decide to be nice and change the hair back as he was retreating towards the boys' dorms. Problem solved. End of my little prank… At least I hope so, but I have this little feeling this won't be the end to it.

Well after the little disturbance in the common room, I managed to finish up my homework and head to bed at a decent hour, falling asleep with thoughts of what surprises, or lack thereof, tomorrow would bring.
