All's Fair in Love and War

A/n: Hey everyone, I'm back! Yay! I just couldn't wait to post the next chappie! Just so you know this one is about double the pages the last one was. It's still shortish, but ya know...If you haven't guessed, depending on if Jennie or I wrote the chapter, it might be LOOOOOOOONG, or really, really short. Oh, and by the way, I know more of you than just the two reviewers I heard from are reading this story. Review or suffer the wrath of my Mutant CareBear! Mwahahaha!

Disclaimer: Yes, we own it all. Mwahaha- NOOOO! RUN! Attack of the lawyers!

Dedications: To our very first reviewers, FlamezBlaze1 and WickedWicca. Thanks guys!

And now, without further ado, Chapter 2...

Chapter 2: Summer Makeover

"Help Mum! Lily brought two of those freaks with her into the house!" Petunia screamed. Yuki punched her in the face.

"Bitch! Get out of our way," Adrian hissed.

"Yuki, Adrian, calm down!" Lily scolded, even though the small smile on her face thanked the girls for what they had done.

Lily muttered a healing charm and walked up the stairs toward her room. Yuki and Adrian both shot death glares at Petunia, who was shrinking into the shadows, and followed Lily up to her room.

Their faces softened when they walked in. Lily was sitting in her grandmother's antique rocking chair, her fingers absently strumming at the strings of her guitar. Her beautiful emerald eyes were brimming with tears.

"Ah, Piccolo Fleur (little flower in Italian) do not cry," Adrian murmured, walking over to her friend and wrapping her arms around her. This simple gesture made Lily burst into tears, her shoulders shaking violently with racking sobs.

"Why did th -they do that to me? W-why do they all hate me? Am- m I really that-t bad of a per-person?" Lily wailed.

"Stop that talk right now Lily-Chan! You're one of the nicest people I've ever met! They're just a bunch of low-life bastards," Yuki declared.

"B-but you guys don't understand. T-they all hate me, the whole school! Th-those st-stupid Marauders just make things wo-worse."

Adrian and Yuki looked at each other. Being descendants of Arthur and Guinevere Reed, they were blessed with special powers from Arthur's sister, Morgan Le Fey. Both girls were extremely powerful, and one of these great powers was the ability to communicate inside their minds, or as it was known to most wizards, thought-speak. (Yuki, Adrian)

Those bastards! I'll kill them.

Poor Lily. How could they do this to her?

I don't know, but the next time I see them, I swear I'm going to kill them.

Adrian's blood was boiling. They were so stupid! Lily was one of the nicest people in the world, that school was just too shallow to see it.

"Lily-Chan, I swear to Merlin that I'll kill 'em for you when I see them next year."

Lily gasped and looked wide-eyed up at Yuki. "No! No, No, No! Then I'll have nearly the whole school howling for my blood! That is if the MFC doesn't murder me first!"

"MFC?" Adrian asked, confused.

"The Marauder's Fan Club. A bunch of ditzes and sluts mostly if you ask me," Lily explained.

"They have their own fan club? Man-whores," Yuki muttered.

A smile crept its way determinedly onto Lily's face, but it soon disappeared as fast as it had come.

"Piccolo Fleur, you've kept this from us for so long. What really happened all those years at your school?"

So, Lily launched into her long, miserable story of life at Hogwarts. She told them all about how people teased her, the Marauders pranked her, and how everyone called her names, the most popular being 'Crazy Red'.

"Sorera sukoshi yaros! Dare ga suru Karera omou Karera are? Watashi chikau ni Merlin Watashi ishi korosu Karera ni!" Yuki cursed in Japanese, waving her arms around like a lunatic. (Those little bastards! Who do they think they are? I swear to Merlin I'll kill them!)

Lily smiled at her friend. Her eyes were like chips of solid ice, and her icy blue hair was falling loose from its knot.

Yuki had some...erm, anger management issues, and whenever she got this mad, she would start screaming her lungs out in Japanese while often destroying anything that got in her way. At least when she cursed, no one but Lily and Adrian (usually) could understand her. They all spoke fluent English, Japanese, and Italian, among a few other languages.

Adrian's spirits lifted. Lily had stopped crying, and she was smiling as she watched Yuki rant and rave around her room.

"Piccolo Fleur, tu posso volere fermata sou prima di lei completamente destroys tua spazio," Adrian whispered to Lily in Italian. (Little Flower, you may want to stop her before she completely destroys your room.)

"Watashi heard sono Adrian Clarisse McAlister!" Yuki yelled, rounding on her cousin. (I heard that Adrian Clarisse McAlister!)

"Oooh, espediente shimei. You're negli durante sore mohaya Adrian!" Lily giggled in a mix of broken English, Italian and Japanese. (Oooh, middle name. You're in for it now Adrian!)

Yuki's eyes flashed mischievously. All the girls were thinking the same thing as they each picked up a pillow as discreetly as possible.

"PILLOW FIGHT!" they all screamed at the same time.

After a very tiring pillow fight that seemed to go on forever, the girls collapsed next to each other on Lily's bed.

"Lily-Chan, I'm a genius!" Yuki suddenly announced, sitting up in a cross-legged meditation position.

Adrian snorted into Lily's comforter and Yuki hit her on the back of the head.

"Hey, what was that for?" Adrian whined in a very child-like manner.

Yuki ignored her and continued, "I know exactly what you need. You'll be more confident and you'll knock some sense into those Marauders and all the rest of Hogwarts." She was gesturing wildly again, but in a good way. Hr icy eyes were alight with excitement.

"Do I want to know?" Lily asked.

Yuki glared and said, "Of course! This'll totally get people to stop being so evil to you!"

This got both Lily and Adrian's attention. When she didn't continue after they stared at her for five minutes, Adrian prodded, "So...?

"You need a makeover!"

A blank silence met these words.

"Yuki, you and I both know that won't work, right Adrian?" Lily discouraged.

Adrian looked thoughtful. "You know Yuki that is actually a great idea..."

"I know."

"You're so modest."

"What! Adrian, whose side are you on? What would a makeover do? Besides, I look fine," Lily protested.

Yuki and Adrian looked at each other and burst out laughing, causing Lily's emerald eyes to flash dangerously.

"Sorry to burst your bubble bambina, but have you looked in a mirror lately?" Adrian asked between laughs.

The cousins dragged Lily over to her floor length mirror and started pointing things out.

"Skin and bones skinny, tangled hair-"

"No make-up, out of date clothes-"

"Well, I guess a makeover couldn't hurt anything..." Lily said unsurely.

"Then you'll do it?" Adrian asked excitedly.

"Please Lily-Chan?" begged Yuki, giving Lily her best puppy dog face.

"Okay."

"YES!"

"Finally," Yuki sighed.

"You'll see Lils," Adrian reassured, "when we're done with you, you'll blow them away."

See you later!
