For the first six and a half years of Hogwarts Lily Evans had been known, well actually she hadn't been known at all, but she had been the most unpopular girl at school. But half way through her sixth year Lily changed. She wasn't sure whether it was for better or for worse but she had changed. Her best and infact only friend Bianca was the kind of girl that was a rebel and no one knew it. Bianca was the soul reason that Lily had started to change. Another slightly more annoying reason was James Potter and the so-called Marauders. Since third year the Marauders had teased and generally annoyed Lily and by her sixth years she'd had enough of it, so she decided it was time to change her image completely. She asked Bianca why she was the way she was. Bianca had told her she just enjoyed that way of life, and swore to help and change Lily if it was the last thing she did.
So over the Christmas holidays Bianca stayed with Lily at her parents' house. Lily was resigned to the fact that her parents really didn't give a damn what Lily did so (in Biancas' opinion) that was all the better. Lily had wanted to start small but as Bianca had pointed out small changes wouldn't really help because they only had a small amount of time to make the changes. So Lily had gone all out. She had got her ears pierced in two places, her belly button pierced, a tattoo and she had taken up smoking and drinking full time. The smoking and drinking in Lily's opinion was the hardest part. She had sat in her room for what seemed like an age choking on hot smoky stuff. It didn't help that Bianca had constantly been shouting, "Come on Lils all the boys will think your boring if you don't". So Lily had gone back to school after the holidays feeling much better about herself. Her new image was one that could rival James' "bad boy" image and that was exactly what she intended to do.
