"God damn, Evans! Do you have to hit so hard?" A whiny James Potter asked, a hand over his eye.
"Well, Potter, do you have to be an arrogant, egotistic, maniacal –" Lily Evans started.
"Okay, okay," James groaned, "I get it!" He added, pulling himself up off of the floor.
"Could you at least give me my wand back? McGonagall wanted us to practice that charm for Transfiguration, and I can't afford not to! She threatened to throw me off the Quidditch team if I fail in her class!" James started to beg.
"This thing?" Lily asked innocently as she waved his wand in front of him, "I was going to see how well it does against old squiddy there in the lake…"
"Lily! What do I have to do to get my fucking wand back?" James was getting annoyed now, but he couldn't do much about it.
This is going to be fun Lily thought to herself as she began scheming. "Well, first you have to go to dinner, wearing whatever shirt I tell you to. Second, you must profess your love for Snape and Malfoy, again, at dinner. And third, you get to get down on your hands and knees and beg my forgiveness, and beg for your wand as well. That may be done now." Lily finished, waiting for the groveling to begin.
"Now, Lily, why would Jamsie want to do something like that?" Said a voice behind her as James's wand was torn from her hand. The voice continued, "But you know," Lily's own wand began to levitate out of her reach, "That is a very good idea! You may start your groveling now." Lily whirled around to see none other then Sirius Black, the outcast of the Most Noble House of Black.
"That's 'Evans' to you, Black, and why would I grovel at your feet? My wand may be over my head, but it's over yours too, and, I can do this." With that, Lily muttered something under her breath, and her wand came down into her hand. Thank God I taught myself that bit of magic! Lily was smiling at her accomplishment.
"Damn, Evans, you're no fun!" Sirius pouted, "Hey, Prongs, do ya want your wand back?"
"Thanks mate!" A now very happy James said.
"What are mates for? Now, let's get our arses down to the Great Hall, we are almost late for dinner!" Sirius added the last bit with such urgency that one would think that it was a matter of life and death. Well, considering he was a Black, and a Marauder, it could be considered one, judging by the way he inhales food.
Neither Marauder noticed Lily as she shrank back into the shadows and went up to the boys' dorm as they went through the portrait and went down to dinner.
As Lily admired her work, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. They won't know what's going on, poor gits. They deserve every bit of this. With that, she added a charm that would let everyone except James and Sirius see what she had done, that is of course, until the two boys looked in the mirror the next morning. With one last laugh, she made her way down to the Great Hall for a small bite to eat. I really wish I could see their faces when they figure this out. If they figure it out that is…
When James and Sirius went to sleep, they had no idea that Remus Lupin, Peter Petegrew, the other Marauders, and Frank Longbottom were literally rolling on the ground laughing, trying very hard not to wake the sleeping boys up. It wasn't until the boys woke up the next morning and looked in the mirror did they see what Lily had done.
A/N - Every other chapter will be written by me, Clueless Bystander, anyway, so Fallen Mystery and I are going to write an actual fanfic...we have many one-shot type things that we have to get up, but anyway. If you like the chapter, let me know and drop a review. The second chapter is writen, so, we want at least 3 reviews before we will post again...small number to ask, so please review?
