Disclaimer: This story has been made possible through the brilliance of J.K. Rowling. Without her fantastic novels my story would lack a certain personalities, such as the marauders, that make this story come to life. The characters and settings you recognise from the Harry Potter novels are the propertry of J.K. Rowling not me.

Fat Ugly Lily (as the marauders christened her) hauled her trunk from platform 9¾, it was the end of her 6th year at Hogwarts and she was heading home for the long summer break. As much as she enjoyed the prospect of two months free from the taunting of her peers, she was still apprehensive as to how her sister would react to her. Her sister had always been cold towards her ever since she received her Hogwarts letter but the last holidays resulted in a huge fight between the pair. Lily had hoped that their time apart would allow them to sort out their differences, but she still couldn't help feeling nervous.

Lily walked through the ticket barrier and found herself on the bustling muggle platform, and there, standing a short distance away, was her mum and sister waiting. A smile grew on her face and she hurried towards them.

"Have you had a nice term dear?" asked Lily's mother warmly

"I've had worse" replied Lily shrugging indifferently. A look of great pity spread across her mothers face.

"I see you haven't done anything about your weight yet" said Petunia bitterly. Lily was suddenly relieved everything was back to normal. She flung herself on her sister in an attempt to hug her, but Petunia threw her off.

"Don't touch me you freak" A smile flickered across Lily's face; she loved her bitter and twisted sister.

The three of them made their way through the station and out to the car ready for the long journey home.

     It was the first day of the holidays and Lily had it all planed out, no longer was she going to be known as 'Fat Ugly Lily'. She was going to become trim pretty Lily (with the help of specialized beauticians not the corny muggle ones but the witches who actually knew what they were doing) She was sick of the mould she had been given at Hogwarts and she was going to start a new. New figure, new hairstyle, new clothes, and new makeup.

She pinned her schedule to her door, looked at the clock, 7:35am, and hurried off to the shower.

Five minutes into her morning run she was lying on the pavement clutching her side in pain.

"I HATE EXERCISE!!!" she bellowed, making passers-by change sides of the road giving the girl dirty looks and muttering about lazy fat people and exercise.

She got up with renewed determination and carried on. After an hour she returned home with an exulted look on her face which somewhat resembled the look that would be fixed on a soldiers face after his battalions had won a particularly tough battle.

After an extremely draining holiday the new Lily made her way to the barrier that separated platforms 9 and 10. When she reached the other side the scarlet Hogwarts express came into view. She walked along the station shrugging off the attention she was attracting. It wasn't the kind of attention she was used to but it made her feel more uncomfortable she'd never had catcalls or whistling directed at her before. She quickly found an empty compartment to escape.

The train started moving and Lily looked out the window watching the passing scenery. A knock on the door made her start. She looked around to see none other than the infamous Marauders standing in the doorway. She quickly directed her gaze out the window again hoping they would leave, but to her dismay they sat down in the empty compartment and made themselves comfortable.

The compartment was silent for a bit until James Potter spoke. "What's your name?" he said flirtatiously.

Lily was shocked to here him talk to her in that way. "Umm. Lily" she replied nervously. To her great shock he smiled.

"Poor girl" he said "You have the same name as 'Fat Ugly Lily Evans' I'd keep my distance from her" he said with the hint of a laugh in his voice "she a great prat".

Lily was horrified, she stood up and made to leave the compartment. She hesitated at

the door, turned and said "You're the only prat around here Potter" with one last defiant glare at the marauders she swept from the room.

"What's her problem?" said James staring puzzled at the compartment door. He turned back to his friends deciding not to let it get to him, "so got any plans for humiliating Snivellus?"

Outside Lily wiped her teary eyes, she was sick of the way the marauders treated her. She tried to put it behind her and made her way up to the prefects' compartments where she hoped to find out who was head boy since she was the new head girl.

"WHAT??? You can't possible mean that I have to work with that, narcissistic prick!" cried Lily

"I am standing right here you know, and don't think that I'm pleased with these arrangements either, Evans." Said James coldly crossing his arms.

Since their last meeting they had reached Hogwarts, James had found out who Lily really was and Lily had found out that James was head boy and neither were pleased.

"Language please Miss Evans" said professor McGonagall horrified at Lily's out burst "There's nothing you can do about it. Professor Dumbledore has made up his mind and this is how the arrangements shall stay. Now please go and join the other students at the feast." She said as she ushered the two indignant students out of her office.

"Trying to fit in are we?" James spat at her when they'd rounded the corner. "Think you might be able to make friends now do you?"

"You're just embarrassed because you tried to make a pass at me on the train." Said Lily lightly and walked off in front of James.

"You wish, Evans" He called after her. Lily took no notice instead quickened her pace.

When she entered the Great Hall she sighed inwardly. She had missed the sorting ceremony and the students were already tucking in to the delicious looking feast. Lily stood at the door for a while looking around. Once she had found what she was looking for, she hurried over to the Gryffindor table and over to her friends Meg and Ashleigh.

"Oh my god, Lils, you look fantastic" Cried Ashleigh pulling her friend into a tight hug.

"Where were you on the train we missed you!" said Meg looking awestruck at her friend "and why didn't you tell us about this" she said gesturing to Lily's new figure.

"Well, I wanted it to be a surprise" Lily said, beaming at her friends.
