"I wish James would stop pestering me," Lily sighed, leaning her head on Alice's lap.

"I feel so bad for you," Alice said sarcastically, darting a glance at him.

"You don't talk," Lily said, poking Alice in the ribs. "You have Frank."

"True," admitted Alice. "But don't you have Henry?"

"Yeah," Lily said. "But I haven't told anyone yet-"

"Oh thank you very much," Alice said. "I guess my new name is 'anyone'-"

"Except you," Lily clarified.

"Well, maybe you should," Alice said. "Maybe that'll stop James."

"Hmm..." Lily said. "Maybe."

"LILY HAD A BOYFRIEND?"

"Present tense," Moony corrected. "Has. A Boyfriend."

"NOT ANYMORE! JUST WAIT UNTIL WE CATCH THAT PUNK, WE'LL LIGHT INTO HIM LIKE A PACK OF WOL-"

"Not happening, mate. He's much bigger than us."

James scowled at the temporary setback.

"NO MATTER! WE WILL DO WHAT WE DO BEST!" He stalked away, his cloak billowing behind him.

Yes, I know this is Snape style. But Snapey looked so cool in that, with his cloak billowing out and his greasy hair swinging around his face, that James decided to copy.

Except he looked better, because he's James Potter and does everything better.

(Unless you count the 147 things on Remus' list of THINGS JAMES POTTER DOES BADLY.)

But moving on.

Remus, Peter, and Sirius turned to each other.

"What do we do well?" asked Peter.

Remus shrugged. "Irritate Minnie, play pranks, irritate Minnie, turn homework in late, irritate Minnie, irritate Lily, irritate Minnie, break school rules-"

"And did he mention IRRITATE MINNIE?" Sirius said, and they all started snickering.

Henry Allen walked past the boy's bathroom to hear some cackles. As a prefect, he naturally had to investigate. Stopping to listen, he inhaled, smiling. Lemon-oops, make that limon, sounds much better-with a hint of jasmine. Ahhh.

"Prongsy!" Henry's eyes snapped open and he scanned his surroundings. Only Lily coming up towards him.

"Hello, Lily!" he smiled.

"Hi. Henry," Lily said, smiling up at him.

"NOW, PRONGSY!" Both of them jumped at the voice.

"Oops... hehe. That was supposed to be a whisper, but NOW, PRONGS! WHAT ARE YOU WAITNG FOR, YOU COMPLETE-"

"Sirius Bl-" Lily started to say, but at that moment, the pipes exploded, filling the air with a definitely-not-jasmine-with-lemon-more-like-dog-poop smell.

And then... came the actual thing.

NO, GINNY! IT WAS NOT A LEMON RIDING A WAVE OF SEWAGE WATER WITH A JASMINE FLOWER STUCK IN IT'S HAIR! LEMONS DON'T EVEN HAVE HAIR!

It was a wave of sewage water, THAT DID NOT HAVE A LEMON ON IT, but instead had a brownish tint.. exactly like that ugly color you see every time you look in a full toilet.

Yup. That one.

Lily and Henry SCREAMED and RAN for their LIVES but THE WAVE of WATER slammed into them... knocking them down... into the brine.

Ginny: What's brine?

Me: IDK. Thought it sounded cool!

The last words Lily shouted hysterically were: "I will kill that James Idiot Potter!"

And that was how the Marauders celebrated James getting his middle name.

A few weeks had passed. Somehow, Lily Evans had lost the notorious scent but Henry hadn't. And, at a much bigger price to the students, neither had the corridor.

Ginny: Was it a limon scent, with a hint of jasmine and-

Me: NO! THAT'S IT! I GIVE UP! *Throws down pencil and storms away in a huff*

Ginny:

Ginny: Sheesh. I might as well finish the story. Anyways, the corridor didn't lose the smell, yadda yadda, Lily pushed James into the Lake for the... 238th time, James cursed Snape in retaliation (for the 346th time) and Lily then called James a toerag, bully, and a few choice words for the 898th time. Yadda yadda, joke or two, and the show's over, folks!

Me: ...

Ginny: How'd I do?

Me: ...

In case anyone wants to know, I'm still furious at Ginny for stealing my story. RUDE. 

This takes place in their sixth year, a year after the 'It's Snowing In September' Incident. Did you notice 'Allen's' first name?!
