Lily turned around. She could not believe her eyes. It was as if she was staring back at a complete stranger. She didn't want to sound conceited or anything but 'Damn,' she thought to herself, 'I look good.'

Her face looked beautiful accentuating every delicate feature. Her skin looked as creamy as ever. Her hair, WOW, it was amazing how much enhancing her natural color could do. Her hair was now a burgundy/cranberry red, and it looked stunning on her with such a contrast from her blazing emerald eyes. It was curled ever so slightly so it fell off her shoulders in loose ringlets. The girls had painted Lily's nails a color called Pompeii Purple, which was more of a magenta color than purple. They used a charm that made her fingernails longer than usual so they looked dainty and beautiful. They had also given her a pedicure as well.

"Now for the final touch." Tina said. She took out her wand and directed it towards Lily's eyes. "Ecies cantarios." She whispered and Lily could see perfectly, without her glasses!

"Omg Lilz! You look absolutely beautiful! All of the guys would KILL to have you at their side." Bailey said and Jackie nodded her head in agreement. "Not that you weren't pretty before." Bailey added quickly. Lily laughed slightly.

"Now if you want your eyes like that your going to have to use this charm every day, its not permanent." Tina told Lily.

"I can live with that." Lily said aloud.

The girls dressed her in a very short black dress that had a v-neck and slopped down to show some cleavage. The dress clung to her in all the right places, accentuating all of her positive features. To complete the ensemble, they placed a delicate silver chain with a silver heart necklace around her neck. She didn't look too dressed up. Some people went down to dinner like that, especially the first week back.

'Now its time to test the "new me" out.' She thought to herself.

Did I mention, that even though Lily is friends with James best friends, and James is best friends with Lily's best friends, Lily and James don't exactly get along? OK, that was defiantly an understatement. I think DESPISE would be a better way to describe their relationship with one another. It all started on the train the first year going into Hogwarts.

*Flashback*

Lily Evans was looking around for her best friends Bailey, Jackie, and Tina. They were nowhere to be found and the train was about to depart. She wandered into a compartment that a boy with extremely messy jet-black hair was occupying.

"Oh I'm sorry, I'll just leave" Lily politely said.

The boy with the messy jet-black hair grinned evilly. "Oh no, that's not necessary," He said while his smile grew even bigger, "I was just looking for someone to test this on."

The compartment door slammed shut and locked behind Lily. She turned her head back to face the boy, who at the moment, happened to look like a mad scientist. She was stuck with him.

"Who are you?" She asked him.

"Potter, James Potter."

'Apparently this boy has seen one too many James Bond movies,' Lily thought to herself.

Without any further hesitation he pulled a lever from above his head. Lily cringed and shrieked as a large amount of slimy toads fell on top of her head. "Ahhh! You jackass!" She said to him, "Just wait till my father hears about this!" She yelled at him.

He was laughing so hard he just simply unlocked the doors for her. She went crying, running out of the compartment. James did not see the little girl with red-hair again until the Sorting Ceremony.

*End of Flashback*

Lily told the girls she would be back and headed out of their dormitory. As soon as she was out the door she collided into someone.

"Oh I'm sorry, let me help you up."

Lily recognized the voice immediately.

"Sod off Potter." Lily said.

"Evans?" James asked, having still not having seen her face. Lily looked up at him with an expression of pure delight. She didn't care if she hated him; she loved the way she looked. "Evans!?" He said repeated himself, this time in shock rather than curiosity, finally seeing her and taking in her new looks and the snug little dress. His eyes widened 10 times more than normal.

"Yes Peewee Potter, It's me. I suggest you take a picture... It lasts longer. It's also a lot politer than ogling over someone." Lily said. Her new looks defiantly gave her confidence a major boost.

"I-I wasn't oog-" James started but was cut off because Lily ignored him and kept walking.

'Damn she looks good' James said, to he thought was only to himself. He was unaware of the fact that Jackie, Bailey, and Tina were all standing in the threshold of their dormitory listening to him.

**Flashback** (James P.O.V)

James hadn't seen the red-haired girl again after the incident on the train. He was now waiting to be sorted at the Ceremony. So far, Hogwarts had been great! He had met up with his best friend Sirius Black and his friend Remus Lupin.

Since the sorting was going in alphabetical order, Sirius had already gone. He was sorted into Gryffindor, which was James', Sirius', and Remus' first choice. So as you can imagine, Sirius was very pleased.

They were now on the letter E. 'Can we hurry up, I would like to eat sometime in the next century,' James thought to himself as his stomach growled.

"Evan's, Lily," he heard the Transfiguration teacher, Albus Dumbledore, say as the red-haired girl approached the stool with the hat on it.

'Lily Evans. Why does that name sound so familiar?' James thought to himself. As if a lamp went on in his head he remembered.! 'She's Rose and John Evans daughter! My parents best muggle-friends! I've heard them mention her before. Oh man am I in trouble for that stunt I pulled on her on the train ride here.'

Lily ended up being sorted into Gryffindor, as well as James and Remus

**End of Flashback**

After each of their parents discovered that both of their children went to the same school, over the summer they were forced to do things together with their families. By the beginning of each school year, they hated each other more and more than the past year.

(A/N- I'm not sure if I'm going to continue this FF. If I get people to convince me I might, but I don't know. I mean, school and practice is taking up SO much time and I'm just loosing interest in writing FF's. But I don't know what I'm doing yet.)
