Chapter 1: "Beautify Lily"
Disclaimer: I don't own Lily, James, Sirius, Peter, or Remus, or any other characters you recognize. I don't own anything like the setting, or anything else J.K. made up.The only things I own, are Robyn, and Caitlin, and maybe the plot.I'm not sure if anyone else has done these things before. (many people have used the makeover Lily thing, but don't take it offensively If I stole your idea, it's an honor! Hehe)If I did own all these, I wouldn't be writing fanfics, I'd be a millionaire! Bwahahahaha! Okay, maybe not but still. *cowers* (I know I used this disclaimer in another ficcy too!)
"Lily! Lily! Earth to Lily!" called Robyn.
Lilian Rebecca Evans snapped out of a trance. She had been daydreaming. again. She was staring at the other end of the Gryffindor table. The "Quidditch end". The "Popular end".
Lily wasn't exactly popular, but she had two best friends. Other than that, she was pretty isolated.
Robyn Elizabeth LaRowe was like Lily. Isolated and not too popular. But, she was very homely, with light brownish, blondeish, reddish hair, and amber eyes. Her skin was very pale, and she dressed in old fashioned clothes. Robyn was an okay student.
Caitlin, Lily's other best friend, was another story. Caitlin Jennah Reinhart was very popular. In fact, you could say she was the most popular girl in 5th year. She had the typical popular features. She was 5'9, all legs, blonde, and had hazel eyes. Caitlin could make friends with anyone.
Down at the end of the table Lily was staring at, sat Caitlin, her longtime boyfriend, Sirius Black, and his gang of friends.
This consisted of Remus Lupin, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew. They were known as the marauders around the school, because whenever the chance arose, they'd pull a prank, or get in some sort of trouble.
Peter was short and fat. He was 5'0, and 154 lb. (70 kg) He had mouse brown hair, and brown eyes. Peter was a wimp, and just went along with any pranks the rest of the marauders played. He could be talked into almost anything.
Remus was 5'9, with sandy blond hair, and steel gray eyes. He was the smartest and probably the most sensible of them all. Sirius was wanted by all the girls, and being 5'11 ½, muscular, with black hair, and ice blue eyes, you can see why. He was not a very good student, but the heart of all their pranks.
James Potter, Sirius' best friend, was also very popular with the ladies. He had jet black hair, and deep blue eyes, and he was 6'0.
These guys were also called the "Quidditch crew". They were all on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Caitlin was the seeker, Sirius was a beater, as well as a sixth year, Remus was the commentator, a sixth year was the keeper, and a sixth year, a fourth year, and James were the chasers.
One time in 4th year, since Lily and Caitlin were best friends, Lily tried sitting with them at lunch. But everyone except Caitlin thought she was strange, and acted like she wasn't there.
Anyway, back to the present.
"Whoa, sorry Robyn, what were you saying?"
"We're going to our cottage in France this summer, so I won't see you."
"Oh man. I'll owl you. Well, we better get going," Lily said.
"Yeah, we have to pack for tomorrow."
"Next time we see this place, we'll be sixth years."
*~*~*
Lily looked around her room.
She was a pretty average teenager. (except for the fact she was a witch)
She had normal posters of her favorite bands, (except for the fact they moved) a normal pet, (except for the fact it was a magical creature-a pixie) and a normal mirror. (except for the fact t talks back to you)
She looked in her mirror. Her red hair curled down to her waist, her pale skin stuck out particularly, and her bitten nails bothered her. The only good thing about Lily's appearance were her eyes. Dark Emerald Green, with long lashes surrounding them.
"Maybe this is why no one sees me," she muttered picking up a curl of hair, and throwing it back down.
"I'm sick and tired of people acting like I'm not there! I think it's time for a change!" she said louder.
"I'm going to Caitlin's!" she said even louder. Caitlin had been begging her to at least let her pluck her eyebrows, or put some makeup on her.
"What did you say?" asked her sister Petunia.
"I'm going to Caitlin's. I'll probably sleep over. Be back tomorrow!"
*~*~*
"Cait! Cait!" Lily yelled, barging into Caitlin's house. The Reinharts didn't care. Lily and Caitlin knew each other's houses backwards and forwards and upside down, and they practically accepted each other's families as their own.
"Yeah Lil?" Caitlin called from her room.
"Are you busy today and tomorrow?" she asked running up the stairs.
"No, why?"
"Well, you know how you've been offering to help me with my looks? I accept!"
"You're joking!"
"Nope."
Caitlin let out a scream that Lily could have sworn could be heard from her house down the street.
"First of all, we have to go shopping," Caitlin was so excited. "We'll go to that mini- mall down the road. We need to get you clothes, makeup, oh Lil, this is going to take a while, can you stay overnight?"
"Yes,"
"Great!" Caitlin grabbed her purse, and pulled Lily out the door.
Operation "Beautify Lily" was underway.
*~*~*
"You can look now." It was two o'clock in the morning, and Caitlin had just finished, "Fixing" Lily.
Lily, almost too scared to turn around and face the mirror, slowly spun around.
She saw her reflection, and her mouth dropped open.
"Shit Cait, I look. I look. I look great!" she said when she closed her mouth again.
"What can I say? I'm a miracle worker. By the way, you do look great," Cait laughed.
Lily picked up her hair to examine it again, but this time, she was happy with what she saw. Her hair was now only slightly wavy, a little longer than shoulder length, and a dark auburn with gold highlights.
She was wearing mascara, which bolded her best feature, right under her new, thin, eyebrows.
Her skin, no longer pale, was now tan, and somehow, a lot less freckly.
She was wearing a tight tank top, and short shorts, which showed off her great figure, and long, long, legs.
Lastly, her nails were long, and painted, and she no longer had the urge to bite them.
Who would have known that this Lily used to be looked straight through by boys?
"I really, really, owe you one," she managed to say.
"Will you sit at my end of the table at school?"
"Whatever you want."
"Will you come to Diagon Alley with me then?"
"Oh, I'm kind of planning on going with Robyn."
"Well, has she actually asked you yet?"
Lily grinned. "No, so when she does, I'll just tell her I can't because I'm going another time."
*~*~*
Lily dashed in the door of Robyn's house again.
"Cait?" she called.
"In the kitchen," Caitlin replied.
Lily went to the kitchen.
Caitlin's mom was cooking lunch, and her little brother, Kyle, was sitting at the table.
Caitlin's dad and older sister Monica were in Holland, because her parents were divorced.
"Morning Mrs. Reinhart."
"Good morning Lily."
"Hey dweeb," she called to Kyle.
"Geek," he replied.
"Loser,"
"Freak,"
"Dork,"
"Moron,"
"Nerd,"
"Okay, I give up, I can't think of anymore insulting words," he said. They all laughed.
"Kay Lil, you ready to go?" asked Cait.
"I think so," she replied. Lily hadn't seen anyone she knew since she had had her makeover.
"Don't worry, they'll love you."
"Wait.. they?"
"Oh, sorry. I kinda conveniently 'forgot' to tell you. We're meeting a few of my friends.
"Fine. Whatever. I still owe you. But can I borrow some of your clothes first? All mine are in the wash."
"Golly, how long does it take-"
"Cait, my parents are muggles. Remember?"
"Oh, yeah. Sure, you can borrow some."
Lily picked out a light purple tank top and a short jeans skirt, with a black purse, and black sandals.
Finally, they were off.
First, they went to Gringotts, and loaded up their purses. As they stepped out the door, Caitlin practically got run over by Sirius.
He kissed her.
"Where are the others?" she asked.
"Back there. It's just, when I saw you, I ran ahead. I haven't seen you all summer."
They kissed again.
Remus was the first one to reach them. "Hey Cait, Lily."
Lily knew Remus was smart enough to figure out who she was.
For the first time, Sirius took his eyes off Caitlin. and out of his head.
"Whoa, who are you?"
Lily was about to answer, when Cait nudged her in the side.
Just then, James, and Peter came up.
"We were just about to leave, where were you?"
"Caitlin's house." Lily answered.
Then James saw her too.
"Damn, she's hot!" James whispered to Cait. "Who's that?"
"That, is for us to know, and you to find out."
James frowned, and left.
Sirius kissed Caitlin again, and left with the others.
*~*~*
So the story begins. sorry, I know it's lame now, but I hope and pray it'll get better. I liked it better than my other one, and so did all of my friends who have read it. Please review, I promise if you do I'll write more! (Wait, what else would I do?) Luf to everyone, and I hope you like it,
