Lily Evans was never interested in clothes. As a child, she adored playing with her friends and climbing trees with her sister. She was told by a number of relatives that she would eventually understand what all the fuss was about. She wouldn't stand outside of her mother's bedroom and look confused when she walked back and forth between her bed and wardrobe until it felt like all her clothing was on her bed. Lily didn't argue against them. She didn't fight their words nor did she make any attempts to change. She wasn't interested in clothes. When she was given a new dress Lily never had the desire to shout for her parents and sister to look at her. Not like Petunia did.
Maybe that's why the feeling shocked her as much as it did. When she wore the uniform for the first time Lily felt a sudden desire to actually have people watch her. She stood in front of her mirror with a smile on her face. Her red hair reached her shoulders and her green eyes glimmered as the pride made her rounded cheeks turn redder than normal. She loved this uniform. She wanted people to see her in it.
"Mum, dad, Tia…" she heard them answer yes from down the stairs. She smiled one last time into the mirror before hurrying out of her room. "Look at me!"
