Lily's Revenge

Lily gets fed up with James always embarrassing her, so she decides to do something about it. Lily teams up with someone close to James to teach him a lesson involving uncontrollable twirling and singing a girly tune.

October 17th, 1975

Today, I was quietly minding my own business during dinner in the Great Hall. Of course the peace wouldn't last! It was too good to be true! In the middle of dessert (which happened to be extremely delicious strawberry cupcakes), that imbecile just had to go and wreck a perfect day! This was the absolute last straw. I have had all I can take of that bloody prat James Potter and his embarrassing attempts at asking me out in front of everyone. Something must be done, and I think I know just who can help me...

*Flashback: A few hours before in the Great Hall*

"Alice! Oh my gosh! Look at these cupcakes! They look amazing," Lily told her best friend, Alice Prewett.

"I totally agree. The elves have really outdone themselves this time. I mean, just look at the perfectly cut strawberry slices layered under the icing! I think I must be in heaven."

"Heaven! Yes, that's just what these cupca-"

"Hey Evans!"

"I knew it was too good to be true," Lily sighed. "It could never be heaven if Potter's around."

"Ouch, Evans. That hurts."

"Oh, shove off Potter. You're ruining a perfectly amazing dessert," Lily replied as she leaned in to take a bite of the cupcake.

"Didn't realize you like strawberry cupcakes so much. I'll make sure to buy you some on our date to Hogsmeade this weekend!" James said loudly, attracting several curious looks from people around him.

"I am not going anywhere with you!" Lily jumped up in anger and surprise, dumping her delicious cupcake all in her lap. Her black robes were now stained pink in random places. "Potter, this is all your fault!" She exclaimed.

"My fault? Lily darling, you can hardly hold me accountable for your own inability to control your raging hormones around me," James smirked.

"What? This is it! You're really going to regret this, Potter," Lily said as she stalked away.

*End of Flashback*

Lily felt the chill of the cold night air against her skin. She really couldn't believe she'd agreed to come out to the edge of the Forbidden Forest at this time of night, but if she wanted his help, it had to be done. Really wishing he'd hurry up, she looked down and studied the different colors of the fallen leaves scattered along the ground.

A twig snapped a few feet away and Lily jerked her head up. "Sirius?" she called.

"Of course, who else would it be?" As soon as she heard his reply, she could see him strutting confidently out of the trees a few feet away, a wide smirk plastered onto his handsome face.

"Well, it could have been a werewolf or something," Lily joked back, trying to add humor to her odd situation.

"Ha. Werewolf. Yeah," Sirius forced a laugh nervously. Does she know about Remus? He cleared his throat. "So, Lilykins, just exactly what did you want to meet with me about? You have to be desperate if you're willing to come to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night, but I have to make something clear first. I know, being the handsome devil that I am, that you probably just wanted to meet up and snog. But really, Red, I can't do that. I'm sorry, but James has dibs, and no matter how gorgeous you are, I just can't betray my best mate," Sirius said, a knowing look in his eyes.
