Chapter Three: The Make-over

"What?" Lily asked innocently. Jess raised her eyebrow and sighed.

"Do you really think we're stupid? So, are you going to go out with him?" she questioned.

"Oh great!" Lily said sarcastically.sighed. "Look, guys. That kiss meant nothing. I admit, I am attracted to James but I still won't go out with him."

Jessica and Emily exchanged glances. "Sure, Lily," Emily said as she got up to change. The others followed suit.

"So Lily, did you get new clothes?" Jessica said, changing the subject.

Lily rolled her eyes as she opened her suitcase. "Well I got a few new skirts, tank tops, and underwear. Satisfied?"

Jessica leaned over to inspect her suitcase. She pulled out a black skirt and put it against herself.

"It's not short enough, Lily," she said as she whipped out her wand. She muttered a spell and the skirt instantly became a few inches shorter.

"Wait, what's going on?" Emily looked confused. She looked at Lily and then at Jessica, then back to Lily. "What are you talking about?"

Lily sighed. "Well, remember the week before Winter Break, when Jess told me I should loosen up a bit 'cause she thought I was too uptight? And I agreed-"

Lily was interrupted by Jessica. "So I told her that I was gonna give her a make-over when we would come back after the holidays. And she should get new clothes as a start."

"Oh yeah, I remember that!" Emily said, smiling.

Jessica reached over to pick up a few more pieces of clothing from the bag. She put the bundle on her lap and picked a tank top to examine it. "Covers too much skin." She turned to Emily. "Don't you think?" she asked. Emily rolled her eyes.

"Jess!" Lily whined. In her opinion, that tank top revealed too much skin.

"Lily, you promised," Jessica said with an evil glint in her eye. She cast a spell to make the top tighter. "That's more like it," she said proudly. She threw the top back in the bag. Going through the clothes in her lap, she picked up a lacy black thong. "At least, this is good," she said grinning at Lily. Lily frowned.

"I can't believe I'm gonna have to wear a thong!" she complained. "Aren't they uncomfortable? They just go up you bum."

Jessica chose to ignore her. She dropped the bundle into the suitcase. "I think that the rest should be okay,"

The girls started changing into their Hogwarts robes. As Emily pulled on a white blouse she asked, "Lily, why don't you give James a chance? I mean, I know he can be such an annoying git at times but generally he's a really nice and sweet guy. Especially to you."

Lily sighed. "I would, I really would go out with him. I like him a lot. But it's his cockiness and … and playboyness that really annoys me. Like, one minute, he's confessing his love to me, and then the next, he's making out with some ditzy blonde. Do you know what I mean? I just can't stand that," she said as they finished changing. ". The guys need to change as well. Let's call them back" she suggested.

They opened the compartment door and went out.

"Sirius! James! Remus!" Jessica yelled. The Marauders came out of another compartment, with identical grins on their faces. They had probably pulled a prank on some Slytherins, Lily thought.

"There you are!" Emily said. "Wait, but where's James?"

Sirius and Remus exchanged glances. Remus spoke first, nervously,"Well, James said he'd be back in a while... you know, after he…"

"After he what?" Jessica asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

"After he asks Jenny out," Sirius finished. The Marauders kept looking at each other. They were anxious to see the girls' reaction. Jenny and her followers were practically the only ones Emily, Lily, and Jessica hated.

"Oh, really? That's great," Lily said simply.

"Umm... We're going to change now, if you don't mind. We won't take long," Remus said hastily and quickly left with Sirius.

Emily and Jessica looked at each other, then nervously at Lily who had, surprisingly, acted very calmly.

"Um, Lily?" Emily asked, gently. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, of course," Lily replied. "Don't you see what James is trying to do?" The girls looked confused. They shook their heads.

"He knows that she's my worst enemy. He's using her to make me jealous." Lily said, softly. "But you what? He's not going to make me jealous." She turned to Jessica and smiled. "I think that now is the perfect time to perform the make-over."
