The Joke Part 2

After some time the boys relaxed. Figuring that if Lily was going to get them back she would have done it by now.

During this time the girls would talk, plan, and just patiently wait for the right time to strike. The plan was perfect.

It had been a couple of weeks sense the day Lily had lost her hair in the Great Hall. It was time to start putting the plan in action.

Each girl had a separate part to make this plan fall into place. It they did it right, the boys wouldn't know what hit them until it was too late.

Sarah was in place and waiting for Peter and Remus. They were going to be leaving Divination soon. She had the more difficult part of the plan. Getting those two to the Prefect Bathroom on the fifth floor, with out raising any questions.

"Remus! Peter!" Sarah yelled as she saw them coming down the Divination stairway.

"Hi Sarah." Remus replied.

"Hi." Peter squeaked.

"Hey I am glad I caught you guys. I was wondering if you could walk me to the Hospital." She said "I promised Pomfry I would come check in."

"Why do you need us?" Remus asked as they started following Sarah.

"Well, I hate going alone. She knows I want to be a healer so she just keeps talking and talking." Sarah said a bit quietly.

"Huh?" Peter said a bit confused.

"I get it." Remus replied "It is hard to get away from her if you don't have an excuse."

"Exactly!" Sarah sighed in relief.

"No problem. We can be your excuse."  Remus exclaimed.

'Perfect' Sarah said to herself.

Layla was by the Library waiting for Severus to come out. Still trying to figure out how to get him to come with her to the Prefect Bathroom.

"Shit!" She mumbled as she saw him leave and head in the opposite direction they needed to go.

"Severus!" She yelled, running towards him. "Stop."

"Can I help you?" He drawled, slowly turning around to look at her.

"Thanks." She punched out trying to catch her breath.

"Again. Layla is it?" She nodded.

"How may I be of service?"

"Your Head Boy right?" She shyly asked.

"Yes." He said with a smirk.

"Well can you sneak me into the Prefect Bathroom?" She pleaded with her eyes.

Rolling his eyes. "Is that all?" He snipped

"Yes!" She said quickly "I will owe you one." She smirked.

"Lets go." As he turned and headed towards the bathroom.

'Mission complete' Layla grinned as she caught up to Severus.

Lily went to the Gryffindor common room to find James and Sirius. They were playing the Classical game of Exploding Snap. From the looks of things James was winning and Sirius was just getting more frustrated as the cards were shuffling faster and faster.

"I quit!" Sirius yelled. "You are too good or you cheat."

"Oh Sirius, how about you join me and James for a swim at the Prefect Bathroom." Lily smiled "It will help you relax. I promise."
