Curious? Then read! Don't waste your time on reading this! ;)

It started as very innocent teasing. Making sure the Snakes had to wear bright yellow uniforms on the role play that evening, cursing their food so it turned into talking birds who followed them all day long, calling them names.

'Idiot!' was one of them. Then you had, 'You reek, man! Take a bath instead of bullying innocent first-years!' Every time they tried to curse the birds away, two more joined the party. When the Snakes said something back like 'shut up!' or 'I'm going to kill those birds!', the little birds became angry and their comments became ruder.

"Shut up yourself! You are the one who's spilling oxygen with your dark plans!," a bird squeaked. Mulciber tried to catch the bird.

"Come here so I can kill you!," he roared. He chased the bird, failing miserably.

"Instead of killing me, I think you can use your time better for washing your boxers! Or did you forget you to put them on, just like yesterday?" And it didn't stop. Every morning Mulciber, Snape, Bellatrix, Regulus and Avery walked in the Great Hall with huge puffiness under their eyes.

"And, Evans? What will we do today?," Sirius asked, roaring with laughter as he saw how the birds pulled Bellatrix' hair.

"I don't know, actually. Maybe curse their underwear so it comments all day long?," I suggested.

"Maybe," Remus said tiredly. "Hate to break it, though, you've had some better ideas, Lily."

"I know," I sighed.

"We need Prongs," Peter, Sirius and Remus said in union. I nodded.

"But, then we'll need to explain why I'm helping you, and I don't want him to worry. I probably couldn't handle that."

"Handle what?," a voice behind me asked sweetly. I turned around on my bench, seeing a wonderful, handsome and healthy looking James Potter.

"James!," I shrieked, jumping up and hugging him fiercely.

"Whoa, Evans, easy," he said, hugging me back.

"Sorry," I apologized. Sitting back on the bench, I made some place for him to sit.

"Thanks," he smiled, ignoring his friends' grins. He took the toast I gave him and started eating.

"So, what did I miss?," he asked after a little while.

"Nothing, really," Peter lied. We all burst out laughing when we heard 'Is there anything you're good at? Sleeping without a teddy: no, sir, no can do. Bathing without his magical rubber duck: oh no, that would be awful!'

"Are you sure I didn't miss anything?," James asked again.

"Positive," I laughed, waving at Marlene, Alice, Frank and Mary when they walked in the Great Hall. They saw me and started moving in our direction.

"Where were you last night?," Alice asked when she sat down.

"With us," Sirius said.

"With them?," Mary, Marlene, Frank and Alice asked me in union.

"Yes, with them," I smiled.

"Merlin, Lily, I thought you had some self-respect," Frank joked. That joke gave him an orange from Sirius against his head, a toast from Remus, a shove from James and a laugh from Peter.

"Oi! Guys! Don't harm my boyfriend!," Alice intervened. She kissed his cheek where the orange hit him and soon they were kissing passionately.

"Oh, come on guys!," Sirius groaned. "Not again!"

"Let them," James said suddenly. "You wouldn't like it either when they would interrupt you kissing McKinnon, would you?"

"OI!", both Marlene and Sirius yelled at his comment. Marlene blushed, Sirius grinned and Remus, Peter and I laughed. Alice and Frank were still kissing. Shoving them, I whispered, "Get a room!"

"We will," Frank breathed. He stood up, grabbed Alice's hand and they walked out the Great Hall. With eyes like dishes, we all looked at each other and burst out laughing again. Merlin, James was pretty when he laughed. Control yourself, Evans.

"Lily," Marlene started, "I'm going to the library, you coming?"

"No," I said, still laughing. "I have something to discuss with the guys." She nodded, said goodbye and walked away.

"So, what should we do next?," Sirius asked.

"Wait, what? And since when Evans sits with us when we're discussing?," James asked confused.

"When you were at the Hospital Wing, Lily became a true Satan. Pranking, joking, laughing,… I don't know who she is and what she did with Lily Evans, but I like the new Lily," Remus winked.

"Is that so?," James asked, suddenly looking very interested.

"Yup," Peter chimed in. "So, what's next?"

"I don't know who you're talking about, but I have an idea," James said.

"Tell us," I pushed.

"Nope, first you have to explain some things to me."

"Shoot."

"First; since when are you helping us picking on people?"

"First," I copied, "I'm not picking on anyone. It's named taking your revenge."

"Who is it?"

"Slytherin," I said, shrugging.

"Why are you trying to take revenge on Slytherin?," he asked.

"We're Gryffs! Isn't that what we supposed to do? We don't need a reason. It's bad enough already they exist."

"Good point," the black haired boy agreed.

"So, your idea is…?"

"What do you think of starting a food fight?," he asked, looking pretty proud about his statement.

"Boring," Sirius groaned. "We did that in first year."

"Maybe, but we didn't curse their food so it bites."

"That is…," I started, but Remus cut me off.

"Brilliant?," he said.

"Genius!"

"What they said," Peter agreed.

That was chapter eight. More coming up soon! -ES
