Lindsay eyed him appreciatively, "I like him better this way."

"I just did this so he couldn't move," Lily said, looking through her bag. "We can't leave him like that, sadly."

"What are you going to do with him?" Lindsay asked curiously. "We don't know any spells to use on him, he was right about that."

"I have something better than any curse," Lily said. "Just remember where you were when everything froze."

"Tell me what we're going to do! I can't stand the waiting!" Lindsay cried.

Lily pulled out what she was looking for, it was a smaller bad. When she unzipped it, Lindsay clapped her hands in delight.

Makeup.

It was the perfect revenge.

"See, we don't need any curses," Lily said. "We have something much worse."

"I'll do blush and lipstick, I don't trust myself with eye makeup on somebody else," Lindsay grabbed for the darkest red blush and a very tannish foundation.

"When you do the foundation, make sure he has uneven spreading and a make- up line," Lily said.

"So, like a high schooler's make-up?" Lindsay asked innocently.

"Basically," Lily said laughing.

"What are you doing?" Lindsay asked as she began applying the foundation.

"Ooh, I think thick black eye liner, and then red eyeshadow with a silver glitter contrast," Lily replied.

"Oh, that is harsh," Lindsay said. "Are you plucking his eyebrows?"

"I don't think so," Lily said. "I'll save that for when he makes me really mad."

By the time they had finished with James, he had a thick line of black liquid eyeliner above and below his eyes, with a small flare that reached about a quarter of an inch past his eye, red and silver eyeshadow that went up to his eyebrows, tan foundation irregularly spread, dark rouge blush, and dark purple lipstick.

Lily stepped back to admire her handiwork, "Ah, beautiful."

Lindsay also took a step back, but couldn't respond. She was laughing too hard.

"Okay," Lily said wiping her smile off, "Places!"

"No curse could have done more damage!!" Lindsay said, trying to stop laughing.

"Okay, I think we're ready," Lily said.

"Oh wait!" Lindsay said. She looked through her bag until she pulled out roll-on glitter. She looked at it disgustedly, "I don't really use it, so don't ask me why I have it."

Lily laughed, "Be sure to put plenty on hi, that stuff is hard to get off, so he'll glitter ALL day!"

When everything was applied, and they controlled themselves, Lily concentrated on starting time up again.

James looked at her curiously, "Did you just move?"

Lily pointed her wand at him, "Applica."

James stared at her, "What was that supposed to do?"

Lily shrugged. "Never tried it before."

James smirked, "I told you there was nothing you could do."

"I wouldn't be so sure," Lily said sweetly. "Just be sure not to make any more of those comments."

"As soon as you stop hanging out with them, I will," James promised.

"You know, they said the same thing about you," Lily said thoughtfully. "So what if I listened to them? Huh?"

"Uh, I didn't really think of that," James looked bashful.

"Well, start thinking that way," Lily advised. "Just think whatever you say, they have probably said as well."

"Do you yell at them, too?" James asked curiously.

"I treat you equally. Except for Anthony," Lily told him.

"Boyfriend perks?" James asked.

"Basically," Lily nodded.

"Just what kind of perks?" James narrowed his eyes.

Lindsay swatted him, "What kind of question is that?"

"The kind a guy friend asks his girl friend who's boyfriend is his enemy," James replied.

"Do you get in these situations often?" Lily asked, smiling.

"Let's go find Sirius and Remus, Peter went off someplace again," James said.

"Sure," Lily said, throwing an amused glance over to Lindsay. "Can't wait!"

"You're acting very strange," James told Lily. "Is something up?"

Lily just shrugged.

James stared at her suspiciously until he spotted Remus and Sirius who had their backs turned. He tapped Sirius' shoulder and said, "Hey, guess who has a new friend."
