AN: Harry Bloody Potter! I so cannot wait for the movie:cheers: yay!
"Moony, I need your help."
Remus practically jumped out of his skin in surprise as the warm breath washed over his cheek. "Harry?" He squinted at the empty air beside him. "Did you swipe James' cloak again?"
Harry allowed the hood to sink about his shoulders and grinned wickedly. "Of course."
Books lay scattered around Remus' motionless form as he remained propped in a stiff chair. The library was always quiet this time of night and Harry knew that the werewolf would be hiding out in solitude now that his friends were off serving their detention.
"What is it exactly that you need from me Harry?" The amber eyed wizard asked politely while reopening a book near his elbow.
"I need a new look."
There was a moment of pause.
"What?" Remus turned, pinning the Slytherin with an odd look.
A mischievous grin flashed. "I need a sort of makeover." Harry repeated, inwardly cheering at his ability to stun even the stoical Remus Lupin.
The werewolf frowned. "And you expect me to be able to help you?"
"You and Lily." Harry admitted, still bodiless. "Please Remus? I'm working on something and this is a vital part of my plan. I have to look perfect."
"Harry, I don't know." Remus seemed a bit hesitant. "James is still upset about what you did to him earlier. Sirius is too for that matter, he's been moaning about being sterile."
The cloak slipped off and pooled around his ankles as Harry angrily stood. "You know James deserved every bit of what he got Moony!" He hissed fiercely. "I'm sorry about Sirius, but he was in the way. Merlin, if you're so scared about what James will think, maybe I shouldn't even be talking to you."
He leaned down and fisted the cloak in an angry hand and turned to leave.
"Harry wait." Remus sighed.
The Slytherin paused, shoulders tense.
"I know I hold your brother's opinion above a lot of others, but I'm also sure you know the reason for that. James and Sirius were my first friends. Peter didn't come until later, but the point is, I don't want to make James angry enough to stop our friendship."
There was an incredulous scoff. "Remus, if James is a true friend he won't dump you as soon as you have an opinion that rivals his own. I know him, he may get a little mad, but he'll be there for you despite it." Harry said stubbornly.
There was a moment of silence and then Remus touched his back gently in apology. "I'm sorry; I know this hasn't been easy for you."
A harsh laugh shook the boy's body. "You have no idea Moony." Harry whispered. "I cared deeply for Severus, and James destroyed any chance I had at being happy. It would be like me turning Lily away from him!"
"I understand." He shook his head. "Remember when I caught the two of you during the Quidditch match? The first thing that popped into my mind was that James would be pissed. But later, I remembered how happy you looked, and I knew that Severus was the one you were choosing."
Harry turned in question.
The werewolf smiled. "I'll help you."
--- --- ---
"Of course I'll help you two!" Lily laughed. "I can't have my boyfriend looking drab and boring, even if the finished product is for the benefit of someone else."
Harry smiled in relief. "Thanks Lily."
The witch stood, and motioned Harry to rise also. "Let's get to work then. Remus, are you with me?"
Remus chuckled lightly. "Ready to go." He winked.
The two Gryffindors swept Harry by the elbows and sat him in a salon type chair. It really was a wonderful thing that the Marauders had found the Room of Requirement the year before; they had an abundance of supplies at their fingertips.
Harry was turned toward a large mirror floating behind him as they readied themselves to begin the task at hand.
"Now Harry, do you have any specific likes or dislikes about the way you look?" Lily toyed with his hair.
Harry cocked his head as he looked at his reflection. "The glasses have definitely got to go, and I'd rather have a different hair style." He shrugged easily. "Other then that I don't really mind, as long as I look hot."
"And hot you shall be." Lily nodded with a smile. "Remus, hand me the scissors!"
--- --- ---
A low whistle brought a grin to Harry's face as Lily and Remus nodded in appreciation.
"You my friend, are very sexy."
Harry jumped out of the chair and stepped closer to the enchanted mirror. "I think you're right Remus, I do look sexy."
Lily cleared her throat and Harry glanced at her as she crossed her arms expectantly.
"Thank you." He laughed, turning back to his reflection. "Really, this is great."
With his glasses gone, the emerald in his eyes stood out and demanded attention, he would be forever grateful for the corrective spell that fixed his vision. His hair too looked different. No longer was it a chaotic mess that characterized the Potter males, it was stylized and highlighted with silver dotted here and there.
A quick charm had him dressed in tight leather pants that clung to his arse and thighs, Remus' idea of course, ever the gay male. Lily had decided on boots made from dragon hide and his silk shirt that was buttoned at the navel and glittered a silvery green. His tan skin shone deliciously in the dim light while he smirked in triumph.
Severus would never be able to ignore this Harry.
"You look positively edible Harry; if I wasn't going for James I would absolutely jump your bones." Lily laughed as she clapped her hands happily. "I think we've outdone ourselves Remus."
The tawny haired boy nodded beside her. "You could turn any wizard gay." He grinned. "Good luck with it."
The dark head nodded; Harry would truly need all the help he could get to snatch Severus away from that girl. She was similar to him; except she had a vicious streak he would never have nor want.
He just hoped Severus would come back to him.
"He will." Harry growled forcefully.
Harry would make sure that he won; after all, he had had Severus first.
