Here's the next one for you. I do not own Harry Potter, enjoy! [JAPANESE] Will make sense later.

Chapter 3

But they didn't. They continued to harass the girls with pranks at every available opportunity. It got so bad once, that they actually started an unauthorized duel in one of the upstairs corridors. The girls had played it off as being attacked without warning, by placing curses on themselves and saying the Marauders did it. This got them a two week shunning from the rest of their year. Because that was totally a punishment. And the marauders just backed off for three days.

Thus, we're at the point from just before where you lot came in. Lily cast the spell under the table quietly; they still needed to get revenge for having to curse themselves. Marchelle sat across from them, distracting them by asking them questions about her hair as she changed it colors. Penny had slipped into the kitchens earlier and convinced her house elf, Zesty, to spike the pumpkin juice in that area of the table. There was going to be collateral damage with this, but whatever. It wasn't their problem.

Lily waited for the spell to slowly take effect, smirking when it was complete. They weren't clever, crafty, and devious for nothing. Occasionally they got together and actually made something of their talents, like right now. Marchelle nodded at them and went back to sit in her seat. They all did a mini thumb war above the table, as they waited for the boys to notice.

Potter was the first to realize as he reached for his drink, and froze. He raised his other hand to look at it too. Lupin leaned forward saying something to him. Potter's eyes widened even more as he pointed to Lupin's own hands. The latter leapt from the table, and pointed at Black and Pettigrew.

"Merlin! It's happening to your face!" James shouted gaining some of the Professor's attention.

"Yours too!" Lupin shouted back.

They were really freaking out, as they looked around the room. Their eyes finally landed on the girls who grinned right at them. They looked horrified. If this didn't work, they weren't sure what would.

What had they done? Tell us! You're probably screaming at your computer right now. It was simple, really. They gave them a potion of their own making, mixed with some medical magic. They basically led the boys to believe they were being turned inside out. Their skin became their muscles and bones, on every part of the body.

The rest of the student body was starting to notice too, time for them to go. They got up and left the Great Hall. Going to hide behind a tapestry in a nearby corridor. The potion only lasted for five minutes. It was a pity, but Lily had shot down any longer amount of time. They would be freaked out enough, best to make it shorter rather than longer.

"So, if this doesn't work?" Penny asked still laughing.

"We go to plan B," Lily said solemnly sobering up from her laugh quickly.

"But!" they both shouted their own cut short.

"We've tried everything else. Nothing is working. We go to plan B."

"I think she's right, Penny. Fear tactics is our second to last card on the table," Marchelle nodded.

"Women wiles being our last, I guess?" Penny asked.

"Yeah."

"Well, we do have a Hogsmeade trip coming up tomorrow."

"We'll do this together," Lily said tensing.

"Together we're stronger," Marchelle said with hardened eyes.

"Invincible in our number of three," Penny said with her chin straight up.

"Okay," Lily let out a breath of air, as she relaxed again. "Before we jump the gun, we should see if they concede first."

"Deal," the other two agreed.

"And after what we just did, why wouldn't they?" Marchelle asked.

[Time skip]

"Ugh! You stupid arrogant bastards!" Penny screamed.

"I don't understand that!" Sirius shouted back.

SMACK! "Do you understand that?!" she asked.

"Yes, I understand a massive smack across my face."

"Good." She stomped off upstairs. "If you won't concede, we will," Lily said standing up.

"That was a very nice prank," Lupin admitted.

"Yeah, can you tell us how you did it so we can use it on the Slytherins?" Potter asked suddenly looking like a child on Christmas.

"No, you need a basic knowledge of medical magic. That's something you don't have. One wrong spell, and you could really turn your victim inside out. That'll put you in Azkaban easily."

"And we wouldn't want that," Marchelle simpered.

"Yeah, then where would we get our entertainment when one of our pranks goes through flawlessly, with no repercussions? While yours, you almost always get detentions for them," Penny shouted out from upstairs. She must have been listening with the door open.

"Jamsie-poo! It's Friday, that means poker night!" Sarah yelled flouncing into their common two girls looked over at her.

"Dang, Gusters, you've been promoted," Marchelle said looking her outfit, or lack there-of, up and down. It looked more like two rags placed with precision over her feminine parts. Still though, it left nothing to anyone's imagination.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"From slut/whore to prostitute!"

"James!"

"Now now, play nice," he said grinning uneasily.

"Okay," Lily agreed taking out her wand and summoning her blackboard. James's eyes narrowed at it. Lily just smirked as she turned to Sarah. "Ten points from Ravenclaw for walking through the hallways like a common whore. The shame your House must be feeling." She wrote it down, accidentally adding another zero onto the end.

"That's not so bad, and if you girls want, you can join us," Sirius purred.

"Did he just purr at us?" Marchelle asked. "I think so," Lily told her. The two girls looked at each other, seeing nothing but their disgust-o-meter's going way up. "EW!" they shouted together before rushing up the stairs, and slamming the door.

"Merlin, I think I'm going to be sick."

"I call first dibs on the bathroom!"

"No! I was going to be sick first!"

Penny was rolling on the bed with laughter at her friends antics. Merlin, she loved those two. The two girls in question stopped fighting for the bathroom to look over at their friend. They both smiled evilly before pouncing on the girl and tickling her.

"Ack! I call mercy! Mercy!"

"You are so welcome for tickling you!" Marchelle said. Penny laughed harder as she grabbed a pillow and whacked them both with it. The girls shrieked with laughter as they too grabbed pillows and smacked one another with them. The pillow fight ended when the pillows popped open, and feathers flew everywhere. They landed in a laughing heap on the floor.

Using her wand, Lily did a wide sweep of the room, and the pillows repaired themselves. The girls tossed them back onto the bed, and jumped onto it themselves. They leaned against one another.

"So, we're really going through with it?" Penny asked.

"They haven't given us much else of a choice," Marchelle argued.

"But…do you really think Hogsmeade is the best place to go for this kind of transformation?"

"Maybe Madam Malkins would be better," Lily reasoned. "Okay, but how're we going to get there?" Marchelle asked.

"Well, we could always ask him."

[Time skip]

"Please Professor?"

"But why is this so important?" Professor Dumbledore asked. "You three have never had a problem with your outfits before. Why now?"

"We just figured that it was time for us to grow up. All these baggy clothes is something a third year going through puberty would do. So, we figured it was just time for us to grow up."

He was giving them that look. The one where he looked at you over his half-moon spectacles. It said 'I know you're lying, but I'm going to let it pass.' That x-raying look he gave all students. He finally nodded, shutting his eyes slightly, as he walked over to his fireplace, and threw some floo powder into it.

"When you want to come back, just say Albus's Office, in the Leaky Cauldron's fireplace."

"Thanks Professor!" Marchelle said bounding into the fireplace, and vanishing in whirls of green flames.

"Yeah, you're the best!" Penny added vanishing in the same way. Lily smiled at him, before heading into the fireplace herself.

She was just about to enter, when Dumbledore spoke up behind her. "I may not know what you three are up to, but I hope it doesn't get you into trouble."

"Don't worry Professor, we can take care of ourselves," Lily assured him looking around at him. He was giving her that look again, but she just smiled and vanished in the flames as well. Lily stumbled out of the fireplace, and into Marchelle's arms.

"Okay, Lily I get stumbling out of the fireplace, but I still don't understand how you do it, Penny," Marchelle teased as they looked over at their friend.

"Come on," Lily laughed as they went to the back entrance of the Leaky pulled out her wand and tapped the bricks in a specific pattern, and waited for them to open for her. Once they had, she led the way into the semi busy streets of Diagon Alley.

The three girls made their way to Madam Malkins Robes for all Occasions. The bell tinkled as they opened the door, and a young woman came rushing from the back. She looked at them a little suspiciously, since they were still wearing their Hogwarts robes, before straightening up, and asking what it was they wanted.

Penny explained what they needed, and she couldn't grab their hands fast enough as she tugged them to the back of the shop. That was unusual, usually she just stripped people right out in the open for everyone to see. It had happened to them more than once.

She pushed them into nice comfortable chairs, like the ones back in the Gryffindor Common Room. She grabbed Marchelle first and started to measure her out. She grabbed Penny next, with Lily after her, and did the pushed the girls back into their chairs and waved some tea and biscuits forward as she disappeared down a narrow staircase.

The girls sat there for an hour or two discussing random bits of topics. Like Quidditch, school work, and how they were going to execute their plan. It would definitely have to be public. There could be no other way to do this. As they were starting to get into an argument about where this public announcement of a sort should be, Madam Malkin came back up the stairs with their new wardrobes.

They wanted to just take them, and get back to school. The seamstress wasn't having it though, as she forced them to model every outfit so she could tweak it here or there. When they were finally done, it was now three hours later than before, and they were exhausted. They paid for the clothing, thanked Madam Malkin, and walked to Florean Fortescue for a small treat. Penny insisted on paying for it, and Lily and Marchelle weren't about to argue with her.

"Do you think this clothing will be enough?" Marchelle asked.

"No," Lily shook her head. "That's why I brought some muggle money with me too. There's a makeup shop nearby. We'll pick up a few brands there before heading back to school."

"Okay, but what do we do with our robes until then?" Penny asked motioning to all of their outfits.

"Oh, I hadn't thought of that."

"I wonder if we can transfigure them?" Marchelle asked motioning for the other girls to stand up. She was the best at Transfiguration. They looked at each other before standing up. Marchelle motioned for them to twirl, and they did so. When they looked down at their clothes they found them changed.

Penny was wearing a black leather mini skirt, with red pumps, and a quarter sleeved low v-neck red shirt. Lily was wearing a plaid pleated mini skirt, black pumps, with a black corset top. Marchelle cast the same spell on herself, and she ended up with a silver mini skirt, green pumps, and clingy green one shoulder top. They looked at one another grinning.

"We look hot," they all said together.

"Come on! Let's drop these bags off with Tom, and then we'll go shop in London!" Lily said excitedly taking off her glasses, and putting them into her bag. The others did the same, and followed her back to the pub.

It had been so long since Lily had shopped in London, but she still knew where she was. She led them down a couple of blocks away from the pub, until they came to a small makeup store called Make a Mask. They walked in, and an overly cheerful girl, with way too much makeup on, greeted them. Still, they needed the makeup, so it didn't really faze them. They waved off her help, and started to look around.

They came to a very quick conclusion. None of them knew anything about makeup, let alone how to put it on. They were going to have to ask someone for help. Thankfully, there was another woman in the store. She had on a little eyeshadow, foundation, and lipstick, but that appeared to be it. They asked her for help.

"You mean you don't want Makenzie to help you?" she asked with a knowing smile. They looked over at the other girl who was trying to convince someone to buy way more makeup than they needed.

"Uh, no. We were hoping for just the basics really," Penny said uneasily. "This might sound a little odd, but we don't know anything about this stuff."

"Not at all. We get young teenagers in here all the time that know nothing about makeup. Come and sit, I'll go get Harri."

"Harry?"

"Yes, Harri Klemins, she's the expert around here."

"Uh, is that short for Harriet?"

"Yes, but she prefers Harri."

"Okay," they nodded before going to sit down.

A few moments later, another woman came out of the back. She saw Makenzie making her way over to them, and shooed her away. They heard her mutter something about beauty not clowns, and couldn't help the grins forming on their faces.

"So, I hear that you three are new to the makeup world." They nodded. "Well, let's see what we're working with." She lifted their faces by gently grasping their chins one by one. She nodded at each one, before walking off. She was back a few minutes later with several different sets of makeup in her hands.

She set them down on a table nearby, before approaching Penny first. "Your complexion is so dark, but very beautiful. You don't need any foundation, in fact, none of you girls do. To put any on would be an insult to your skin. Your eyes however, for eyeshadows we'll go with a bright purple, or silver color. The purple will bring out the purple shine in your hair, and the silver of your eyes. You don't need a lot, just a little. Close your eyes for me, and girls, I want you to watch what I'm doing here. It's easier when someone else applies your makeup, rather than when you do it yourself. Though, watching how to put it on others is good practice for when you want to put it on yourself."

They watched as she applied a little bit of silver eyeshadow to top of her eyelid, she even added some a little above the crease. Not too much, just a small shimmer. Next she did her eyelashes, and explained that they needed to keep them open until they were done putting the mascara on, and once this was over, place a tissue underneath their eye, and blink several times, and then repeat the process with the other eye. She said she wasn't going to bother with eyeliner on Penny, because it wouldn't show up anyway.

"Next are your cheeks, I have a very dark rouge color here," she held up a small pallet. "So, we just apply a small dusting to your cheeks like so, and it appears that you have a little color in those dark cheeks of yours. Last are your lips, now this'll take a small bit of experimenting, but we'll find the right type of shades that suit you. I believe that every woman should have three lipsticks. I mean, who wants to wear the same kind every day?"

The girls looked at one another and shrugged. Harri was the makeup expert, not them. They watched as she put color after color on Penny, before coming up with a dark red, bright purple and an orange-gold color. She put the red back on Penny, and stepped back, deeming her done.

She moved onto Marchelle next. With her brown eyes, she suggested a pallet of colors of blue and gold for eyeshadow. She used a light pink for her the color to her cheeks, nothing too bright though, otherwise it would appear that she was blushing all day long. So she suggested a soft baby blanket pink. And for her lips, pinks of any color.

Lily was last, and Harri took a good two minutes just staring at her eyes. She claimed she had never seen such a pretty green, and coupled with her porcelain skin and red hair, she was the perfect picture of beauty that most girls craved on a daily basis. Giving Lily a pallet of purples, surprisingly enough, and browns for eyeshadow. She said the purples would really make her eyes pop, but if she ever grew tired of that, then to use the brown. She brushed a very light peach-pink color on her cheeks, so as not to make her seem even paler than she already was. As for her lips, she chose an array of colors that were soft peach colors.

She clapped her hands, and handed the girls the makeup she had used, along with backups of each brand. They thanked her for all of her help, Lily paid for the items, and they left. When they got back to the pub, Marchelle changed their clothing back too normal. They gathered their stuff from Tom, who at first didn't want to hand it over because he didn't recognize them. Then they stepped into the fireplace one at a time saying Albus's Office. Once they were back in the room, they noticed that the Professor was absent.

This was odd, but when Penny looked down at her watch, she discovered that it was already three am. They muffled their laughter and snuck out of the Headmaster's Office. With the help of Lily's status as Head girl, they made it back to her quarters unhindered by any teachers. They collapsed in the room, thankfully not having run into any of marauders.

"So, how're we going to do this?" Marchelle asked.

"Well, should we announce it at breakfast, or first class on Monday?"

"That was the debate, wasn't it?" Lily asked letting out a small laugh.

"I think we should do it first class, that way it's more of a shock to the other students," Marchelle said still sticking to her plan.

"Yeah, but if we did it at breakfast we could just get all the rumors out of the way," Penny argued. They both looked at Lily, and she groaned.

"Must I always be the tie breaker?"

"Yes, I mean, what else are you good for?"

"Oh geez, thanks!"

"You're welcome."

Lily shoved a pillow in her face before pulling out a knut. "Heads we do breakfast, tails first class." She flipped the coin, caught it, and slapped it onto the back of her hand. She cupped her hand around it as she looked at the knut.

"Well? What is it?" Marchelle asked a little impatiently.

"It's…"
