"Would you please mind explaining to me why Alyssa has decided to tell the entire school I'm cheating on Michael?" Rose asked, tapping her foot. Her arms were crossed over her chest and she was glaring at Lily.
Lily smiled innocently.
"I think I might have broken her nose, because she said something about you, and I got upset, so I just...punched her?" she said, the comment coming out sounding more like a question. Rose kept glaring, but when Lily stuck her bottom lip out in a pout, she rolled her eyes and sat down next to her.
"You couldn't have just sent a hex at her behind her back?" she asked, sighing loudly. Lily shook her head. "She would have known it was me, Rosie, but don't worry, I'll fix it and everything will be okay and Michael isn't believing the rumors, is he?" she asked.
"No, but it still bothers me" Rose said, looking slightly afraid now as Lily stood up and grinned down at her.
"What are you going to do?" she asked the younger girl. Lily shrugged her shoulders, seeming very happy with her plan. "I'm going to call in backup, of course" she replied, before skipping off in the opposite direction.
"What?" Roxanne screamed, her eyes going wide and her jaw dropping open after Lily had finished explaining what was going on. "Alyssa is trying to get back at me for punching her, but she's doing it by picking on Rose, and I want to convince Lysander that she's a royal pain" Lily repeated, rolling her eyes as Roxanne groaned loudly and took the book she was holding, pounding it against her head.
"Fine, let's go to the common room and I'll see if I can get him to talk to you, but don't hold me to anything, Lily" she muttered, grabbing her older cousin and dragging her off. They didn't even make it to Ravenclaw Tower when Lysander walked up to them, his face flushed red with anger.
"Why would you punch Alyssa?" he screamed, throwing his hands up in the air. "I punched your bloody playtoy because she was saying nasty things about Rose, you know, Rose Weasley, one of your best friends?" Lily snarled.
"All of you Weasleys are mental! I'm telling you! What's the point of punching someone in the face just because they're saying some stupid things about your cousin! You know how Alyssa is! She gets angry easily!" Lysander yelled.
"Ly, pull your head out of your arse. Your girlfriends a bloody menace" Roxanne growled, stepping in front of Lily. Suddenly, a female voice broke through their conversation, and Lily sighed and rubbed her head when Alyssa walked in front of Lysander, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, look, two little Weasleys. how's Rose?" she asked, smirking.
"I am going to murder you, you daft bint! Don't you get that Scamander there only wants you to make Lily upset! You can't see what's right under your nose, either of you!" Roxanne yelled, stepping towards Alyssa and pointing her wand at the other girl's face.
"Roxy!" Lysander yelled, struggling to pull the girl away.
"And you! Don't call me that! You're such a fucking wanker, you know that? You're lucky that Lily-" Roxanne started, but Lily clamped a hand over her mouth quickly, hissing at her to shut up. The older girl struggled to get away from her cousin's grip, but Lily held tighter, making Roxanne glare at her.
"Lucky Lily what?" Alyssa asked, glaring at the two.
Roxanne realized her mistake a little too late, and turned to Lily, her eyes wide.
"Exactly" Lily growled, pulling the girl off, ignoring the confused looks Lysander was sending her and the angry ones Alyssa was sending her.
"I hate you!" Lily yelled as they walked down an empty corridor. Roxanne grinned sheepishly. "It's not like she didn't already know you fancied him! Just calm down" she ordered. "I will not calm down! I'm in love with a boy who can't pull his head out of his arse long enough to see that his girlfriend is a evil hag!" Lily yelled.
Roxanne stopped short, grabbing Lily's shoulders, forcing the younger girl to look at her.
"You're in love with him?" she asked quietly.
She had thought maybe her younger cousin was just going through a crush and was upset that the boy didn't like her back. She never thought that Lily as actually in love with Lysander Scamander, the boy they used to wrestle with and push into the mud and pick on.
Lily nodded her head, her hair falling in front of her eyes.
Roxanne nodded back, her eyes determined.
"Then we'll just have to do something about Alyssa Finnigan, won't we?" she asked, grinning evily. Lily was reminded just how much her cousin was like her Uncle George, and blinked a few times.
"What are you planning?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It's quite simple, actually, we just have to prove to Lysander what we've been saying about Alyssa all along" Roxanne explained, pulling Lily by the arm towards Gryffindor Tower. "Why are we going this way? Come on Roxanne, even if we get him to realize that, he still won't know I love him!" Lily yelled.
"And that, my dear baby cousin, is why you tell him the truth" Roxanne responded.
"Are you out of your bloody mind?" Lily screamed, her eyes going wide. Roxanne shook her head, stopped and thought for a moment, then shrugged. "Maybe a bit, but that's not the point, you and Lysander are just alike, you're best friends, you know each other better then your own families do. You belong together, and I'm going to make sure that happens" Roxanne responded.
After she'd gathered James, Scorpious, Lorcan, and Albus, she had them all meet them outside by the lake.
"What is all this about?" James asked, wondering if Roxanne found out he'd been the one to break her favorite broom. "We need to help Lily" Roxanne stated simply, nodding her head. These words sent Albus and James directly into overprotective older brother mode, and they raised their heads, looking at their little sister.
"With what?" Lorcan asked.
"We need to make Lysander notice what a menace Alyssa Finnigan is, and get him to realize that he and Lily belong together" Roxanne said, placing a hand on Lily's shoulder.
"I couldn't agree with you more, Roxy. Bloody girl treats me like a piece of dung off the bottom of her shoe" Lorcan muttered, rolling his eyes. "I'm in too, I hate seeing Lily mope around" Scorpious said, shrugging his shoulders.
Roxanne nodded, happy with herself, and turned to Albus and James.
"You want us to help you trick Lysander into giving up Alyssa and then help him get together with our little sister?" James asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yes, that's pretty much what I'm after here" Roxanne answered honestly.
James and Albus looked at each other.
"Alright, we're in"
