As for the competition, my friend Kay is the only one who really knows, though Ana was very close!
Disclaimers are disclaimers, which means disclaiming something and therefore saying it is not yours. But as it is, I actually own most of this story. But you all know which parts are not mine, so you're not going to get worried, right? The entire scene when Lily gets James's boxers is doctored from the film. It's not completely from it; I changed some of it and write some stuff in, so you don't have to worry. But from then on it's mine.
Please R/R

Chapter 4, Day 3
Mei wriggled uncomfortably. She'd told her friends why she was wriggling, but only they and Peter knew.
For beneath her school skirt, Zhu Meiying was wearing a pair of green boxers.
As Peter had refused her request to wear a bra, she magicked herself some support and sighed in relief.
Kai, Lily and Lia had been delighted when Mei told them about the bet and Mei's weird loss. They'd told her to keep the boxers and add them to the collection, and so she agreed. Peter had enough boxers; he didn't need these.
And so, still wriggling, Mei left the room and headed down to the Potions Lab. Hell Day had just begun.

Darlene smiled warmly at the teacher and went into the Potions cabinet to get her ingredients for green-skin potion they were making after they'd handed in their essays on it. Professor Slughorn was delighted with all the detail in every essay in the class, especially Remus's.
As she entered the cabinet, she made sure nobody was looking and slipped a jug of Polyjuice Potion into her Pink Princess satchel. Then she went back to her seat innocently and continued with the potion.

It being Friday, the Darlings knew that their enemies only had the following day up til 8pm to get the remaining items, if they had any. The Darlings themselves didn't, though Darlene was slightly suspicious about the boxers; Renny was watching them more hawk-eyed than ever. In fact, she wouldn't have put it past Violet Venom to have switched the signs pointing to the dorms. She went up and had a look in the room labelled `Sixth Year'. Remus was lying on his bed, reading a magazine.
Obviously it was the right room, then.
The moment Darlene left, Remus climbed off the bed, left the room, and went to visit the Fifth Years, who were in the real Sixth Year dorm. "Thanks for that, Renny. We really need to get those Darlings off our backs. How do you think we should do that, then?"

Scarlett crept into the Flowers' room at the same time that Darlene was in the wrong one. She was going through the girls' hairbrushes to get hairs from each of them. Polyjuice Potion-you couldn't turn into someone without the hairs…

"Hey, Peter!" The boy turned to meet a tall girl with wavy brown hair that reached her shoulder-blades and dark brown eyes.
"Hi Regina," Peter said with a sigh. "What can I do for you?"
"Oh, I just wanted to let you know that there's a dance-type thing on Sunday. Couples. It's not a ball, but it's going to have a dance contest and so on. You might want to choose your partner soon; she might get another date!" With that, the girl flounced off. Peter knew that Regina wanted him to ask her, and he also knew who he was going to ask…not her!
He turned and headed back to the Common Room, ready to tell the other Marauders and the girls what he'd just found out…and laugh at Mei (after telling her she looked great in his boxers).

Lily decided that if she was going to get James's boxers, she'd better get them soon. She hurried up the stairs and into the right boys' dormitory. As she entered, she saw Remus there. He smiled at her and waved her over to James's bed, which was nearest the bathroom. All the girls had finally been told that Remus knew, so Lily wasn't worried. She walked over and just as she was opening James's underwear drawer, James walked in the room. He was facing Remus, and so he luckily didn't see Lily as she crept into the bathroom and from then on into the shower, which was in a bath and protected from view by a curtain.
Outside, James headed towards the bathroom. "Don't go in there," Remus said quickly.
"Why not?"
"The…the shower has a leak!"
James sighed, and told his friend that he was not afraid of the water. He went in and locked the door. To Lily's fright, he started undressing in front of her-facing her.
Lily choked as she watched him tug off his shirt, and then kick off his shoes and unbuckle his trousers. She knew she shouldn't be watching, but she just couldn't move her glance. He pulled off his socks, pulled his trousers down and stepped out of them, revealing boxers with Qaffles flying across them. He moved over to the shower and put his hand in behind the curtain and turned the shower on, which promptly soaked Lily. Then he moved back and yanked off his embarrassing Quaffle boxers (Lily would have to remember to use that for blackmail at some point).
Lily, who'd squeaked from getting wet, squeaked again at the sight of something she'd never thought she'd see. She turned away, embarrassed, and waited for the boy to pull back the curtains, find her, and hate her forever.
He never did.
There was a loud crash down the stairs. James grabbed a towel, wrapped it around his waist, and left the room. Lily stepped out of the shower and grabbed James's boxers. She left the room, and saw James go out onto the landing. Remus looked at her and tried to stop his laughter from coming. He mouthed, "Use the broom!" and pointed at James's bed. Lily grabbed the broom, climbed onto the windowsill, and dropped out, sitting on the broom. She pulled up quickly and flew around to her room.
James turned around. "What happened?" Remus shrugged.
"Sirius went down there yelling! I have no idea where he's gone!" Truthfully, Sirius had done it to create a distraction to help Lily, and was currently chatting to Kai downstairs out of James's view as he looked for the boy.
James shrugged. "I'll go back to having my shower." He walked over to the door, looked in, and said, "Hey! Where did my boxers go?"
