Hey! I do not own any characters, besides Rose, Jasmine, Yvonne, Clarissa, and now Madeline.

James

"So Evans, what are you doing Saturday?" I asked her through the bookshelf in the library.

"Nothing." She said absently scanning the back of the book.

"D'you want to go to Hogsmaede?" I asked.

"No." She said without looking up.

"Why not?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"The same reason I've turned you down for the past…oh, 118 times. You're an arrogant, selfish, bullying prat, who finds joy in other peoples pain." She said as if reading the words

of a page.

"What is that, anyway?" I asked referring to the book she was now taking toward a table. She turned the cover so I could see it. 'The Little Princess'

"The Little Princess? That sounds…interesting." I shrugged. She rolled her eyes.

"It's classic literature. The title represents a metaphor." She explained.

"What's it about then?" I asked daringly. She looked at me over the top of the book with those amazing green eyes.

"A young girl, who has everything, her mother died when she was young. Then she goes to a boarding school in London. When her father dies she loses everything and is forced to work as a maid in the school to earn her keep." She said.

"Oh." I shrugged. "Why doesn't she just use her wand?" She took a deep breath.

"It would be hard for you to understand. She's a muggle. Besides, you don't sympathize with anyone, I'll bet even if you did hit rock bottom, you'd still go around pretending you we're the greatest." She said snidely slamming the book shut and marching out the door leaving me there stunned.

Lily

"He's such an arrogant prat! He actually had the nerve to insult The Little Princess!"

"He didn't!" Jazz gasped. I nodded.

"He did. Right after he asked me out! What nerve!" I huffed at dinner.

"Wouldn't be talking about me would you Evans?" He said behind me.

"Actually we are you git." Jazz shrugged.

"What's wrong Jazz?" Sirius asked. She glared at him with her piercing eyes.

"That's Jasmine Tivolli Marrietti to you Black." She sniffed. He was taken aback.

"Huh?"

"You're no better than he is. What is it, just because I didn't snog you, you treat me like dirt and go off with Serena Tibalt?" She asked.

"Rose." Both boys whined.

"Leave me out of this." She shrugged. "Personally I agree with them."

"But you were our friend first." Sirius said folding his arms.

"Yeah, when we were little. We're growing up now guys, why don't you act you age." She said slamming her book shut. "We're sixteen, not six."

"Come on, we've got Homework." I said standing up and heading toward the dorms. Jazz followed but Rose stayed put. She dipped her quill in the inkwell she turned her gaze to us

just realizing what we were waiting for.

"Oh! I'll stay down here, I'm not done eating you know." She shrugged.

James

"So Rose, what's up with them?" I asked her as soon as Evans and Jasmine walked off.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Well, that's why you stayed isn't it? To give us the information on why they're so angry?" Sirius asked.

"No, I stayed down here to eat."

"Well can you tell me why Evans is so upset about that stupid book?" I asked.

"It's not a stupid book to her. You really have no clue about her do you? Yet you insist you're in love with her." She said gazing at me with those oddly large eyes.

"I never said I loved her." I shrugged.

"But you didn't know that growing up, she was given everything, her family was rich and they spoiled her rotten, not that it changed Lily, she remained as sweet as she is today, except to you maybe. Then her family lost everything, they're stocks crashed and her father's business sold out. They moved into a smaller house, sold her clothes and toys, she had to wear her sister's hand me downs. Her sister blames her, that's why they're horrible to each other. Lily spent most of her time at the school library. She read A Little Princess years ago and completely fell in love with it. She's a lot like the main character you see. She read it so often that right before she came here, the librarian gave it to her as a gift. The librarian was a witch, a rich witch at that, she pays for Lily to come here, for her supplies and clothes. She did anyway up until a few years ago when she died, leaving Lily everything. That book meant so much to her…then I guess over Summer, her sister threw it in the fire."

"But didn't the girl in the stories father die?" I asked confused.

"Lily's father committed suicide when he found out how much money they'd lost." She said quietly.

"Oh." Was all I could say. "What about her mum?"

"She's still alive, she got the family back in order, that and the money the librarian left them leaves them with enough money to get by. Miss Evans loves Lily more than life itself, she needs Lils as much as Lils needs her."

Jasmine

What nerve he had! Dissing Jasmine Marrietti in front of the whole school like that! Making me look like a fool. Just because I didn't kiss him after five minutes, he treats me like trash? I thought he understood! That he wanted more than a physical relationship. I was a fool. Sirius Black had dumped me. I was the dumper! I don't get dumped, but he had done it! "I guess this is what it feels like." I sighed, early Saturday morning. The first Hogsmaede weekend.

"Don't beat yourself up over it Jazz. It was bound to happen,." Lily sighed. "He's a player."

"You could have told me that!" I exclaimed. She laughed. I threw a pillow at her. I did NOT see any humor in this situation.

"Sorry Jazz. But I did tell you! You said that he was just sooo sweet and charming and how can a guy with eyes like him hurt me?" Lily reminded me. I huffed.

"Next time, remind me that you're always right." I sobbed.

"Don't worry I will." She teased. "Now get your butt up! I'm going to wake up sleeping beauty over there," She said gesturing to Rose. "then we're going to Hogsmaede. And you can flirt and shop until you drop dead."

"I don't know Lils. I don't want to see him." I sighed.

"I know you don't. But, if he sees you flirting with guys like you used to, he won't think he's gotten to you, but if you hide up here, he'll know he has." She said wisely and I knew she was right.

"Yeah, and Hogsmaede is huge! I probably won't even see him." I agreed.

"Right! And we have to get out dresses for the Halloween ball…" She said innocently covering her mouth.

"What ball?" I asked sitting up straight.

"Oops! Did I say ball?" She said knowing she got me.

"Yes you did, there's not much time! I'll wake Rose up! We have to get the good outfits before everyone else does!" I exclaimed. I was a girl on a mission. "Not to mention secure

dates, make hair appointments, is it a masque? I need details woman!"

"Yes it's a masque, muggle dress, the color scheme is black and pink and it'll be on Halloween night instead of the feast." She explained.

"You sneaky witch! You knew that'd get me up didn't you?" I demanded.

"That doesn't matter." said Lily. "What matters is that you're up." I smiled and grabbed a pillow and whacked Rose on the head with it. Rose sat up looking bewildered, her eyes as big as saucers.

"LILY! We have to save Jazz! The coconuts are attacking! You save Jazz and…I'll…get…the peanut butter!" Then she crashed down again and fell asleep, while Lily and I cracked up laughing.

James

"So where to boys?" Sirius asked.

"Zonko's." I exclaimed.

"Don't forget Honeydukes." Peter chimed in.

"We should also go to that new shop that sells muggle clothes." Remus shrugged. We all looked at him aghast.

"You want to go clothes shopping?" I asked. Remus smiled.

"Now I'm not supposed to tell you this, but there comes a time when a man must ask himself, what comes first, responsibility, or friends?" Remus explained.

"You chose friends right?" Sirius asked. Remus laughed.

"Of course. There's going to be a ball on Halloween, a masque, muggle dress." Remus explained.

"And?" I persisted.

"Well, we should probably get costumes before we end up going as something stupid like a pixie or something." He shrugged.

"Let's see, Zonko's? Or clothes shopping?" I wondered aloud. Remus rolled his eyes.

"I'll bet Lily told Jazz and Rose." He explained. I smirked.

"So they'll be there too." I nodded.

"More than likely." He smiled.

"Well than let's get going." I said happily.

Lily

"Hello ladies, how can I help you?" A smiling petite woman asked.

"Well, we have a masque coming up at our school, and we were hoping to do a little early shopping." I explained.

"Well, I'm Madeline. Do you have any ideas?" She asked.

"We were hoping you could make some suggestions." Rose shrugged. Madeline smiled and summoned her clipboard and pencil.

"What is your name child?" She asked Jazz.

"Jasmine Marrietti." She responded.

"Turn please." She commanded. "Hmm, fair skin, dark hair…blue eyes, good figure…tall." She murmured. Madeline turned to the next page. "And you are?" She asked Rose.

"Roselyn Windsor." She said with a nod. Madeline clucked her tongue examining Rose's features.

"Child, you have the face of an angel, such eyes I have never seen, but those clothes, they do nothing for you dear." She explained. "Turn please. Does she always dress like this?" She asked us. I looked at Rose, her long hair thrown into a ponytail, blue jeans and a faded old tee-shirt. Jazz and I nodded. "Well, then I guess we will have to get you a new wardrobe. Don't worry about the money, love, you're Josie's girl aren't you?" Rose nodded. "I knew her in Hogwarts myself, and she married Gilbert Windsor, they sure we're sweet on each other. How's this, I'll give you a great discount on the clothes we find you, if you promise to wear them well and say hello to you're parents from me, from Madeline Thompson. Anyway, light skin, blonde hair, large olive eyes, slim, petite figure. You play sports?" She asked, scribbling like mad on her notebook.

"I'm a quidditch chaser." She explained. Madeline smiled and nodded to me.

"And you are?" She asked.

"Lily Evans." I explained.

"Bless my soul! Bridgette's Lily! Another Hogwarts friend." She smiled warmly.

"You knew Bridgette?" I asked.

"Of course, I remember you, from her funeral, of you've grown mighty pretty since then child." She said warmly. "Now turn." She instructed. I did. "Lovely red hair, brilliant eyes, fair skin, small figured, medium height." She mumbled, her pen scribbling. "Now come ladies. You will look ravishing, I assure you, I have so many ideas!" She exclaimed. She led us to a corner of the store.

"Ah here we are, for Jasmine, how do you feel about going as Juliet?" She asked pulling out a scarlet gown with an umpire waist, trumpet sleeves, an off the shoulder neckline and the front opening to a white petticoat. "Well, go try it on dear." She said pushing the dress at her. Jazz took it gratefully.

"Where are the changing rooms?" She asked. Madeline pointed to another corner of the store and Jazz headed off that way.

"Rose, you shall be an angel." She said pulling out a breathtaking gown, it was strapless with a light, almost white, rose colored bodice covered with diamonds, the skirt was such a pure white it blinded you, it ended at the floor, slightly belling out from the gold waistline. The sweetheart neckline was bordered with diamonds. Attached to the back were see-through wings covered with diamonds. Also with the dress came a gold halo.

"It's lovely miss, but I can't wear it." She said touching the soft fabric.

"Oh don't be so modest child, go try it on." She said. "It will show off your athletic arms, I assure you, just let your hair down first please."

"Well, if you insist." She sighed. Rose took the dress and headed off in the direction that Jasmine had gone in.

"Now you Lily. Are to be a fairy, tell me what you think of this." She said pulling out a gown with a light green bodice, with ivy for straps and a light pink skirt flowing to the ground. There were also gossamer pink wings, though slightly different than Rose's, these were fairy wings, sparkling with glitter. Along with the dress was a crown of ivy and roses, and a fake wand covered with glitter and with a star atop of it.

"It's magnificent." I breathed.

"Stop looking and try it on!" She said ushering me into the dressing room. "It should hi-light your slim figure." It turns out that Madeline was great at her job. Each dress fit us perfectly. Given that Rose's was a little too long, but that was something that Madeline fixed with a wave of her wand.

"I've been thinking, dears, this is a new store, you know. Word needs to get around that we don't just sell costumes here, we sell normal clothes that teenagers wear. Each piece is one of a kind, so I was wondering if you could perhaps try on a few outfits, take them back to school with you and soon, all the girls will be bustling about!" She exclaimed.

"With all do respect miss, your clothes are lovely but…" I started.

"Oh Lily! It's free advertising already, you can keep the outfits for free." She said smiling. Madeline pushed outfits at each of us and ushered us back into the dressing rooms. I fingered the beautiful cobalt blue tunic with it's gold beads and flutter sleeves before pulling it over my head. Next were the light denim pants, artfully torn at the knees with the Boho style belt. "Here Lily, these shoes will look wonderful." She said tossing a pair of gold thronged flipflops over the curtain. I opened the curtain and stepped out.

"Well my flower, you look lovely." James said.

"What are you doing here?" I asked impatiently.

"Why finding a costume for the ball." He said innocently.

"You aren't supposed to know about the ball!" I exclaimed.

"Hey Lils! Can you ask Madeline if she has shoes that would match my costume for the ball?" Jazz called.

"Oh but it's alright for you to tell your friends?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"The costumes are over there Potter." I said pointing to the costume corner.

"Thanks, so? Will you go to the ball with me flower?" He asked.

"No. I will not, you arrogant prat." I sneered.

"Lily, here you are! Oh you look marvelous. Did Jasmine ask for shoes?" She asked holding up a pair of white slippers.

"Yeah, thanks for doing this Madeline." I said taking the bag of clothes and accessories she held out to me.

"Hey Prongsie! Did you find-hello Lily!" Sirius exclaimed. Rose came out next dressed in a white eyelet dress that came to her knees and had short sleeves with a scoop neck and a pair of slide on sneakers. Her hair was braided into two braids, one on each side of her head.

"Hey guys." She said cheerfully.

"Rose. You look like a girl." James exclaimed.

"Gee thanks." She said rolling her eyes.

"But you're in a dress." Sirius exclaimed. "A short dress. Last time you wore a dress was to…Aunt Em's funeral, and it was long and black." He recalled.

"Sirius, that was when I was ten, I'm sixteen now and I like it." She said smiling at her reflection.

"But how are we going to beat Slytherin if you're wearing a dress during quidditch?" Sirius asked.

"Oh, it'll be easy, they'll be too gob smacked looking at her to notice when she scores a goal." James laughed. "He means to compliment you, you know that."

"Yeah, after knowing him so long I get that." She laughed.

"Alright! I'm coming out." Jazz called. She stepped out wearing a spaghetti strapped deep lavender shirt with a sequined heart that was placed in the middle of the neckline. She also head on a dark denim skirt ending at her knees and a multicolored scarf as a belt with a pair of purple flip flops.

"Jazz." Sirius breathed. "Wow." Was all he could say.

"Take a picture Black, it'll last longer." She sneered. I looked over at Rose, she was looking at the ground.

"Oh girls! You look wonderful. I put your new outfits in these bags with a shrinking charm, I'll keep in touch and I'll tell you when my new line is done." Her gaze fell on James, Sirius

and now Remus and Peter who were coming up behind them.

"Can I help you gentlemen?" She asked.

A/N: Ok, so I gave you a LITTLE bit of insight to Jasmine's personality...they're will be more in future chapters of, not just Jazz, but all the main characters.
