A/N- Okay I still have NOOOO clue on how to do bold and italics and stuff,
but anyway, onto the chapter. But so you know, this will start on the first
day of the Christmas holidays.

Chapter 1- The Fake Flower
* * ** ** ***The Widow Black*** ** ** * *
Lily woke up early on the first day of the Christmas holidays in her 6th year. She pushed some of her soft black hair out of her face and went to her mirror. There she saw her friends Katelin and Narcissa, both putting on make-up since they would be attending the party later that night.
Bellatrix, who was also attending was still asleep though.
Lily walked over to them and began to brush her hair as she muttered a morning. Narcissa turned towards her and smiled brightly. "Oh, good morning Bunni!" Lily added another good morning. "Hey Kitti, hey Bubblez!" she said, using Katelin and Narcissa's nicknames.
It was something they did for fun. Lily was Bunni, due to her obsession with "Happy Bunny" a muggle thing. (A/N: Obviously, Happy Bunny did not exist, but this is my story so hah! Lol...)
Narcissa was Bubblez because of a rather embarassing prank played on her that involved her admitting she loved bubbles...
Bellatrix was Drawsi, which secretly meant Drowsy because all Bella did was eat and sleep.
Katelin was Kitti because her name shortened into that.
And finally, Emma was Eminemz which was the name of a popular muggle candy. Plus her name was EMma. (A/N: Don't even... I couldn't think of a nickname....)
"So," said Kitti happily to Lily, "Bunni, I heard that kid from Ravenclaw, Billy Sanchez or something was thinking of asking you out. He's a real looker."
*******************************************
(From now on it'll be in Lily's POV)
******************************************* I sighed. "Is that all you think about Kitti?" I asked with a defeated look. "Guys and make-up?" She looked slightly offended, but laughed it off when Narcissa said, "Yup, that's all she does." We all laughed and left the common room, leaving Bellatrix and Emma to sleep.
On our way down to the Great Hall, I saw the Marauders. "Ugh," I started, "the Marauders." Those four words had a certain effect on both other girls. Bubblez started twitching and Kitti pretended to gag.
"You know, Bubblez," I said, walking to the Slytherin Table, "Potter and Sirius are both quite the lookers, since you and Sirius are cousins, maybe you could..." I said, instantly hating my words.
Everyday, I fought an unceasing battle with myself. Nothing I did was the *real* Lily. I did not make passes on guys in my true self, but when you are a Slytherin, you cannot be any way other than Slytherin.
Narcissa looked at me. "Well, I might be able to arrange something, he will be there for Christmas, though I can't for the life of me see why you would like him..." she said thoughtfully.
Lily looked over at the Marauders again, who were now deep in conversation and stealing glances at us as we approached our table. Kitti and Bubblez didn't see this, and I ignored it.
Big Mistake.
The moment we sat down, a tyrant of water fell down onto our heads, and my body realized the repercussions(sp?) of this far before my mind. My hair dye was temporary, and since I had not bought a wizarding one yet, the dye seeped off, showing my real hair color, the one that nobody had seen since my first day at Hogwarts.
James, Sirius, Remus, and even Peter were laughing, but quickly stopped as they saw my hair change color.
I heard James say: "Padfoot, I thought you said it was regular water!" Sirius looked embarassed and confused. He replied, "It WAS regular water, I don't see Katelin or Narcissa's hair changing color, do you?"
It was true, Bubblez kept her wavy black hair, though the waves were currently not in existence, and Kitti kept her honey blonde curls, though the curls had fallen with the fall of the water.
Suddenly, it dawned on everyone, for they had all been looking to see the prank, my hair was RED.
The Marauders walked over, Peter taggering behind, and surveyed us. "Lily Flower," started James, who was although hott, a Gryffindor and an arrogant prick. "Your hair is red, isn't it?" he asked.
Sirius and Remus watched silently, and Peter wattled over to them, finally catching up. James waited as I opened my mouth.
I looked to Narcissa and Katelin, and they nodded. "I- i- i-" I stuttered. At that point, I gave up trying to say anything kind.
"Maybe," I replied in a cold sneering voice, "You would know the answer to that question if you paid any kind of attention to someone other than yourselves!"
Peter squeaked involuntarily, and Remus looked shocked. Sirius however, smiled. James turned around and walked back to Gryffindor Table with Remus and Peter. But Sirius stayed for a moment and said, "I'll see you later Red." Then he too walked back to the Gryffindor Table.
Kitti giggled. "I think he likes you Bunni!" she said happily. Narcissa rolled her eyes. "Yup, I think my freaky cousin DOES like you." she said. Katelin surveyed Sirius for a moment. "It would be harsh, since he's a Gryffindor though...but he is cute!" she added as an afternote.
Narcissa looked at her and said, "Plus, I think James likes you too." I pretended to gag. "Sirius is fine, but James is an arrogant jerk." I said huffily.
Bubblez and Kitti nodded, and went back to eating.
"I think you SHOULD keep your hair like this though, it's soo pretty!" said Katelin happily. Bubblez nodded, "Okay, the hair stays."
I shrugged and said, "Whatever."
I looked back at the Gryffindor Table, and caught Sirius's eye. I blushed and turned around.
'Well' I thought, 'on the plus side, this is a more real Lily than the black-haired one.' She finished her toast and walked upstairs to pack her trunks.
**************************************************************************** ******************* A/n- Muwahahahaha! Yes, there shall be some Sirius+Lily romance, but eventually, it'll become James and Lily. But probably not for a while, because it's still 6th year, and I am following the book on this one, Lily and James won't date till 7th year!
