Chapter 1 - Planning Payback

"JAMES ZACHARIAH POTTER YOU EGOTISTICAL MORON! YOUR GONNA PAY FOR THIS!!!" Lily Evans screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran out of the 5th year girl's dorm room. She had woken up that morning to find that her long auburn hair was now lime green.

"Just because all the girls at this school fall at your feet because of your amazing charms and unbelievable good looks," Lily continued every word dripping with sarcasm, "doesn't give you the right to do this. I will get you back for doing this to my hair." With that Lily stalked off towards the Great Hall for breakfast, cursing to herself and planning ways to get back at James.

"You think I'm good looking?" James called after her as she walked away, grinning to himself and trying to hold in his laughter at the sight of her hair. Without bothering to turn around, Lily simply yelled "dickhead" and continued to stomp away.

"Man, that girl really hates you doesn't she?" James' best friend Sirius Black commented.

"Yeah she does. That's why it's so much fun to pull pranks on her" James replied still grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Oi James. How does Lily know your middle name?" This quite confused Remus Lupin, the third Marauder and resident werewolf.

"Well...uh...you see.it's like this," James stammered but was interrupted by Sirius' growling stomach.

"Come on lets eat already," Sirius was now whining. The three of them headed towards the portrait hole so they could eat, Sirius practically running.

'That was close' James thought.

~*~*~ In the Great Hall ~*~*~

"He is such a prick! That is the fifth time he's pranked me since we got back a month ago! God I hate him! I can't even change my hair back the spell is irreversible. James Potter is such a stupid bastard. Why can't he leave me alone? Carly you gotta help me get back at him. Please?"

Carly, a brunette with deep blue eyes who was Lily's best friend, just looked at Lily, amused. Lily was having another one of her rants about how awful James Potter was, which she often did after he had pranked her. Carly often found this funny. She could tell that Lily liked James, even if Lily wouldn't admit it. She never got this upset if Sirius or Remus pulled a prank on her. Carly also knew that James kept doing it because he liked seeing "the hot red-head prefect" (Sirius' words) mad.

"OK Lil. I'll help," Carly thought it best if she agreed, otherwise Lily would probably keep rambling all day, "What are we gonna do?"

"Kay here's what I was thinking."
