Lily sat alone in her compartment, her hat over her face, her head deep into Hogwarts: A History. This was her first day at Hogwarts even though she was already 15 and had been studying magic for nearly 5 years. She had to leave her school. She was no longer the pretty Lily Evans she used to be. She was…… Ugly.

Her mom, while waiting for Lily to finish her school shopping at Diagon Alley one day in the summer, played cards with a witch. She had a great hand, straight flush. She had already gambled away all her money so she told the witch, who was quite ugly, she could take away Lily's beauty if she lost. The witch nodded and showed her hand, a royal flush.

Mrs. Evans fainted off her chair. Just that moment Lily walked in. The witch flicked her wand and Lily lost her outer beauty but she still had the stuff on the inside.

That's what happened. Lily wasn't stupid. She knew no one would believe her so she just tried to be invisible. It didn't work out.

Her door opened and in came 4 laughing, attractive (or at least 3 were) boys. The 3 hotties were all tall dark and hand some. One very rough looking, one very messy looking with glasses, and one with beautiful long hair. Lily sighed remembering her old beauty and how all of them would have gaped at her when they saw her, the old her. They looked at her.

"Um…" said the scruffy boy. He was muscular but looked older than his age. He already had large bags under his eyes and faint wrinkles on his face. He had long sandy hair that looked great in that just out of bed look way. He sounded very smart, she could tell just by him um. "Could we sit with you? Every where else is full." Lily nodded and slid next to the window, making sure the hat was covering her up to her eyes.

The witch didn't take her shape or eyes, just messed her up. She no longer had the perfect skin nose and mouth. Thank god for her emerald eyes.

"Um.." said the less attractive boy. He resembled a rat Lily thought. "Are you a first year?" he said looking at her body up and down. Seemed a little big for a first year.

"Shut up stupid. She's too… Mature to be a first year." The boy with beautiful long black hair said waving a hand at her figure. She had boobs. Not afraid to admit it. She had boobs for a 15 year old girl.

She cleared her throat and his eyes went back up. "I'm a 5th year student from Ireland. This is my first year at Hogwarts and my letter said, "To be sorted with first years," or something of the like." She said in a silky, almost seductive voice. The boys smiled at her voice. She loved her voice.

"Well hope you join us fine gentlemen in Gryffindor. Are you smart?" said the long blacked haired boy again. She looked into his grey misty eyes and found herself thinking about diving into them.

"Yes." She was very intelligent. She was head of class in her last school with out studying at all.

"Ah. Like Remus, Sirius and I." said the messy black haired boys. He showed me that Remus was the boy with the sandy hair and Sirius the attractive boy who had gazed at my boobs.

"Um… I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Lily Evans."

"Lily Evans?" The messy haired boy said with a thought, "You sound familiar. I'm James by the way, James Potter."

"Did you say Potter?"

"Yes."

She froze. One memory popped into her mind, Maria.

Maria had been her best friend at her old school. She had once had a pen pal from Hogwarts named James Potter. He had asked her friend on a date after a year of correspondence and was a no show. 'No wonder.' Lily said, 'How many times Maria must have mentioned me in enormous.

"You knew a Maria from my school. A pretty little blonde with light blue eyes and long lean legs who's a chaser for her house team?" She asked sweetly and lifting her head enough to stare into James' hazel eyes. He was as he described. He had thin glasses covering large hazel eyes big enough to swim in, hair looking soft enough to lie in. She couldn't forget what he did though. Maria was hurt for days because she traveled all the way to a fancy Wizard café too meet him.

James' eyes flashed when Maria's name was mentioned. That were he heard of Lily from. More than half the things Maria had said was about Lily and her doing something. He had fallen more for Lily than Maria. 'SHIT!' he said mentally to himself, 'I stood Maria up and this is her best friend.' "Um yes, she talked about you all the time."

"As did she until you stood her up. Do you know how much money she spent to get to that café in London. She doesn't live in London like I do." Said Lily venomously but still seductively. The other three boys watched them fight.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't get away from my parents. They wouldn't let me go! I was busy!"

"Whatever." James looked at her eyes, the only part visible of her between her hat and her book she held strangely close to her face. Her eyes were sparkly green like Maria had described. So beautifully green that you for a moment get lost in them and nothing else mattered any more. He shook his head and focused more on getting Lily not to hate him. He already knew Sirius was planning a way to get a date with her. James wanted her more, he had wanted her before he had even seen her, before he had even talked to Maria. It was weird. He had always known of the name Lily Evans as she had known the name James Potter before she even found out she was a wizard.

"Ok I'm Remus Lupin." Said Remus breaking the glaring contest that James and Lily were having. "To my right I have the not so modest Sirius Black." He said pointing to the attractive boy.

"Hey," said Sirius, "I could be modest if I wanted to." Remus and James started to laugh. "I could if I wanted to." Lily even started to smile. Him saying he could be modest was not modesty.

"Do you even know what honest means?" asked the fourth boy. "By the way I'm Peter Pettigrew." Peter said to Lily.

"I do so know what modest means." Said Sirius quietly, "I means to dress so mod you're the modest." Everyone but Sirius burst out laughing.

"Ok Sirius stop." Said Remus trying to stop laughing, "Modesty is not bragging. Like if Lily here was to say she is unattractive, she would be modest."

Lily blushed, "But I'm not pretty…. Any more." All the boys started laughing again. "Do you want proof? Fine." Lily pulled down the book and took off her hat.

The boys stopped laughing. Eyes the same, hair still the most gorgeous thing they had ever seen, body to die for, Lily sat in the car…. Ugly. Her skin had taken on a greenish white color with acne coving every inch of it. She had brown hair growing out of her ears and her chin stuck out. Her face appeared to have baby fat in the cheeks. "I told you." Said Lily.

James stared at Lily in aw. This was not the same Lily he had seen in the picture with Maria. That Lily was flawless but he couldn't help but wonder, was this her fault. "I say what Remus said still applies." James said honestly. "You are still pretty." Lily's eyes filled with tears and a second later she was hugging James tightly. He patted her back lightly and stroked her soft hair. She smelled like ……. Lilies ironically enough. He held her and though back to the picture he carried in his truck all the time of her and Maria. This was the same girl, he knew. How many times had he looked at that picture? Same beautiful eyes, same flowing hair, and from what the picture did, same attitude.

They sat in silence for the rest of the trip, the boys staring at James for his irregularly nice words, and Lily and James both reading a book.
