Lily was 5 feet 2 inches tall, quite short for her aged actually, with long red lock that flowed along her back in soft waves and reached her small waist, and almond shaped eyes that were a bright emerald hue that flashed when she was angry, and sparkled when she was happy. She had full pink lips, a cute, petite nose and high cheekbones. She seldom wore make-up, maybe a few strokes of mascara or pale lip gloss. Lily was NOT hung up on beauty. She believed personalities were more important, making her a sweet and caring girl. But, get on the wrong side of the feisty Miss Evans and Uh-oh!
She was humorous, crazy, daring, dynamic, giddy and frivolous when in the company of those few friends she knew so well, but around people she didn't know she was uptight, cautious, bossy and sarcastic. She had 2 best friends that were both in her house and year, Cathleen Smithe and Theresa MacKinnon and the girls were like sisters. They had met in an empty compartment in first year and had stuck together since. Chats past midnight, shopping sprees, studying sessions, debates and stays at houses for weeks on end were a few things that followed in the four blissful years that were first through fourth. All the girls were sweet, down-to-earth and concentrated on grades instead of boys. It was what brought them together.
Cathleen Magdelyn Smith was quite the beauty…. all the girls were but in different ways. While Lily was the feisty red-head, Cat was the blonde beauty. She had long light blonde hair with natural brown hi-lights, and striking sky blue eyes. She was 5 feet 6 inches tall, 4 inches taller than Lily. She was kind of like the girl next door, very sweet and always modest.
If Kat was the blonde beauty and Lily was the feisty red head, than Theresa Ellen MacKinnon was the mysterious brunette. Tessa was 5 feet 4 inches tall and smack dab in between the heights of Lils and Cat. She was quiet, shy, sweet and had the world's craziest wardrobe.
The girls were tight, and they called themselves the TLC, an acronym for Theresa.Lily.Cathleen or Tender Loving Care. The girls were all beauties – well known throughout the school – but they despised the arrogant, snooty popular crowd, especially the sluttish girls at the center of them. TLC hated mean, rude and obnoxious people, and those adjectives described the popular people to a tee. They hated all guys pretty much, because they all idolized anorexic sluts, but the girls didn't really know they had quite the fan club themselves. Yes, of course being the guys they were, the majority of the Hogwarts male population had shagged the two school wide sluts Olivia Lee and Heather Cox, but the real object of most affections were Tess, Lils and Cat. Those were the nicknames the girls had for each other, and most of the school called them: Tessa or Reese, Lily and Catie (kay-tee not cat-ee).
Speaking of the popular crowd, prominent members of the inner circle were, as they called themselves: The Marauders; Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs or Remus J. Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and James Potter. They were the most popular, most wanted and best looking in the school…. except for maybe Peter. James and Sirius were the ringleaders of this group, always trying to see who could get more detentions. They were stuck-up, arrogant, self-absorbed and everyone loved them. When Sirius or James smiled their "fan girls" as they liked to call them swooned, giggled, fainted… I think you grasp the point. Sirius had long black locks and grey eyes, handsome features and a kick-ass Quidditch body. James had unruly dark brown hair that never seemed to behave, hazel eyes, handsome features and he too, had a kick-ass Quidditch body. They were, by far, the two most popular males in the school, closely followed by REMUS! Remus had sandy brown hair, the cutest blue eyes and handsome features. He wasn't all that muscular, but he liked himself just fine. Oh yes… and Peter? His popularity was pretty good, considering he stalked James and Sirius almost like their fan girls. Peter had blonde hair and brown eyes, and his features were average. Peter wasn't very good with girls, but he'd rather stalk his friends!
Yes, throughout the school they were very well known. Even in first year, they were known throughout the castle. James and Sirius loved to make fun of a greasy-haired, hook nosed, geeky Slytherin whom they called Snivellus. TLC found this behavior repulsive; in fact, TLC hated all Marauders… except for Remus. The girls had figured out his "furry little problem" and they hadn't told a soul they knew… except for Remus of course. Remus liked the girls; he found their integrity and self-respect refreshing in a school where he, James and Sirius were stalked.
Speaking of stalking, I seemed to have forgotten a key thing. James stalks Lily! Yes, it's true! James has been head over heels for Lily since first year, but he only started stalking her towards the end of third year. Lily absolutely hated this, it infuriated her, but when Lily lost her temper with James, he found it very…. infatuating. This just bothered Lily even more. James was constantly playing pranks and doing stupid stunts to get Lily's attention, but that turned her off. He asked her to go out with him daily, and every time he asked her answer was always the same. NO! The thought of the red-headed vixen made James get starry-eyed.
Sirius thought James's ickle infatuation with Lily was amusing; it was good entertainment seeing Prongsie make a fool out of himself daily. Remus just merely shook his head at James's obvious stupidity. Even Peter could see James was doing something wrong, and that's saying something!
Well, this is where the descriptions end, and the story begins. Hope you get an idea of the characters.
