You Can Wish Potter, You Can Wish

Chapter 12 - Prank War

A/N: Okay, so I haven't updated this story in so long, like 6 months. I'm really sorry about that. I have noticed that I have gotten 1k reads on it, and I'm so happy about that, thank you.
Anyway, today I decided to randomly look at this story, and it's the last two days of half term so I might write a few chapters so I can post them when I don't feel like writing more. (This chapter and the next one are pre written from June) Also, I slightly edited the previous chapters, nothing too different but you can read them again if you want *hint hint. Another thing, I probably won't update very often, because I'm in year 9, and for those of you that don't know, you have to choose your subjects for GCSE and I'm doing that next week. Also we have lots tests which are important so I'll need to revise for those. But, I will try to update once a month at least. And one last thing, is it normal to watch titanic 4 times in 3 days?

Lily's POV

The Marauders have played so many pranks on us, and others, it's getting really annoying! When I complained about it to the girls, they suggested that we should have a prank war with them, and if we won, the boys weren't allowed to prank us until the end of this year.

"Well, we could suggest it to them, maybe they'll agree to it." I was secretly hoping that they would agree, firstly because that would mean that they would stop pranking us, and secondly, because I had a few good ideas for pranks myself.

So, we went out of our dorm and the girls started and up the boys' staircase, to the first year boys dorm.

"Lily, you knock." Said Alice.

"Why me?"

"Because."

"Alright."

I knocked, and there was a sound of shuffling, a few crashes, and finally somebody opened the door. Unfortunately, it was Potter.

"Oh, hello, Evans, what gives us the pelasure of having you and your wonderful friends visit us at," He checked his watch, "nine in the afternoon?" (Your eyes are the size of the moon)

He let us in and I frowned at the state of their room. There was only one bed that was made properly, which was Remus', and I knew becuase he was sat on it. Three beds had the covers everywhere, and one bed had been at least attempted to be made. I guessed that was Frank's. They had Quidditch stuff everywhere. On the floor, on the walls, even on the ceiling.

I went to sit down on Remus' bed, but Potter quickly tried to make his bed and pulled me onto it. When we were all seated, and in Black's case, clothed (nothing like that, he just came out of the shower when we arrived; he has Quidditch muscles), we briefly explained what was going on, which included a lot of insults thrown at the boys, and they agreed.

"On one condition. You will go on a date with me, Evans."

"What?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" I screamed. "NO WAY!!!"

"Okay, if we win, is that better?" I thought about it. He was quite good looking, and he does have abs- no, Lily, he's arrogant and rude, and he bullies your friend. But, if we won, it wouldn't matter.

"Hmmm, alright. But if you do anything to Severus before during or after the prank war, I won't."

"Everything for you, Lily-Flower."

3 Hours Later

The girls, and I were in our dorm, which was also our base, planning the pranks that we were going to pull off on the 'marauders'. About the marauders, I found out that Potter doesn't even know that 'marauders' is a real word. He thinks he made it up! Anyway, off the subject of Potter's stupidity, we were having a brainstorm.

"Yes, putting oil into their shampoo would be hilarious! Imagine Black! " Marlene exclaimed. Then, she started imitating Black, looking at her hair and sporting a devastated expression.

" Yes! He would scream down the castle." Alice suddenly started squealing in a bad male voice, "Oh, my hair! My beautiful hair!"

"Yes, his face would be priceless!" Laughed Mary.

"I would love for Potter to have people make fun of him because of his hair like he and his friends do to Sev." I announced. After I said it, Marlene had a knowing smile on her face. "What?" I asked, confused and that smile was kind of creepy.

"Nothing..." She still has that stupid smile on her face, and when I started glaring at her, she finally cracked. "Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Well, we were all talking about Black, and then suddenly out of nowhere, you decide to talk about James. Ithinkyoulikehim." She mumbled the last part, but I heard. And I definitely don't like it.

"WHAT?!?!?!? You think I like that annoying, arrogant toe-rag???"

"Well yes. Just yesterday, you went on a three hour talking spree about Potter and didn't even let us interrupt." Mary said.

"You threatened to hex us if we said something." Added Dorcas.

"It doesn't matter if it's bad stuff, you always want to talk about him."

"Marlene, I know he's your childhood friend or whatever, maybe it's better to ask you, but do you truly believe that he has anything worth liking?" I asked, determined to knock the idea out of their heads. But while Marlene was thinking, so was I. Did Potter have anything worth liking. Well, he's not that bad of a looker, and he is quite clever, even if he doesn't act it and- NO, there is nothing I like about Potter. Well apart from- URGGGGH!!!!! Shut up brain!!!!!

"I can tell you lots of things to like about James. He's funny, plays good pranks, he's nice, not bad looking and -" I cut Marlene off before she could continue.

"He is not any of those things! He's obnoxious, insolent, rude, vain and sooooo idiotic."

"Well of course you would think that." Started Alice, then added, a bit quieter, "denial is the first step."

"I am not in denial!!!" I shrieked.

"Exactly Alice's point!" Argued Dorcas.

"How is it Alice's point?" I asked,  confused.

"I thought you were meant to be smart Lily!" Alice exclaimed.

"It's proving Alice's point because if you're in denial then you deny everything, which you did denying that you are in denial." Dorcas butted in before I managed to reply to reply angrily to Alice.

"Okay, first thing, I do not fancy Potter, he is a stupid, spoilt arrogant toe-rag brat. And secondly, I AM NOT IN DENIAL!!!!!" I screamed the last bit so hopefully they got the point. If we weren't in the middle of war, I would've stormed out with a huff. However, we kind of are at war so...

They were shocked at my outburst, so they decided to carry on as if the last 5 minutes of our 'argument' hadn't happened. They started giving out jobs, and mine was to look up invisibility spells in the library, because I was the cleverest. Yes, that does sound rude and vain, but it's the truth. I got top marks in all the lessons, maybe apart from Transfiguration. It's not my fault that I stabbed myself with the needle we were meant to be Transfiguring from matches. It made a really deep wound, and Professor McGonnagol took off marks for the blood.

Back to the point, I set off towards the library, and into the Charms section. After about fifteen minutes of quiet searching, I finally found the book. It was called 101 Charms by Stump Richmond. I picked it up after loudly hissing YES, earning a glare from the librarian. I quickly checked the book out with my head down after muttering an apology and ran back up to Gryffindor Tower.
