Why? Because of Them. *Marauder's Era*

Chapter 10: An Idea

We got to Hogwarts and entered the Great Hall, ready for another year. The school was great, the people...except my friends, not so much. We sat at the Gryffindor table, saying our goodbyes to Sev.

After the sorting ended, I grabbed some food and set it on my plate. I began eating and felt a tap on my shoulder. I swallowed (can't forget my manners) and turned around. Ugh.

"Yes?" I whispered.

"Ew." It was Potter. He covered his eyes and I rolled mine. "Call Lily for me, will you, worthless?" Lily sat across from me. I wouldn't do it, but I knew what the Marauders were capable of. I tapped Lily's hand and pointed to Potter.

"What do you want, Potter?" Lily asked, annoyed.

"My dear Lily-flower, will you go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" Potter asked, pouting. I wanted to laugh, knowing Lily won't go with him. I attempted to keep a straight face.

"NO! YOU BULLY MY BEST FRIENDS! I WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE WITH YOU, YOU ARROGANT PIG!" she screamed in his face. The Great Hall got dead silent. You would be able to hear a pin drop. I wouldn't think Lily could scream so loudly, but when the girl's passionate, she's passionate.

"Get back to your knitting, everyone!" Opal yelled, shooting Potter a death glare. If looks could kill, he'd be having his funeral. Count on me not showing up.

"I'll get you sooner or later, Lilypad." Potter said with a smirk, leaving. When they left, I giggled.

"God, someone should give them a taste of their own medicine." Opal grumbled. I didn't understand why she said it until I saw Sev with crisp, burnt off eyebrows....and the Marauders snickering. My eyes widened and I grinned evilly. I have the perfect idea. Opal and Lily looked at me in confusion and a hint of fear as I left the Great Hall.
