Sorry I haven't updated in so long! School and stuff... Lots of stuff... All sorts of stuff...

"Where are we?" Lily asked as she found herself in a large room, full of people armed with hairbrushes, straighteners, curling tongs, make-up, clothes and all sorts of other things as well.

"Don't you even, like, recognise a photo shoot, darling?" replied the woman, slightly distractedly as she was in the middle of a conversation with a photographer.

"Wait a second, did you say photo shoot?"

"Yes, you were, like, picked. We wanted a teenage girl to, like, model for the cover."

"Cover? Cover of what?" Lily was almost shouting now, she didn't want to have anything to do with this woman or her magazine.

"Witch Weekly, we're doing a special teenage episode."

"What will I have to do?" Lily asked through clenched teeth. The woman sighed.

"You just need to stand there and, like, look pretty. It's not that hard."

A man with a hairbrush suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her over to a seat. He started yanking his brush through her thick red hair.

"Ow! That hurt!" Lily exclaimed as he pulled roughly.

She was ignored.

Next she was made up.

"What are those?!" Lily stood up and backed away from Kat, the make-up artist.

"You don't know what these are?" Kat asked, slightly menacingly. Lily shook her head. "These are a life-saver. I never leave the house without curling my eyelashes."

Lily looked around and realised that everyone was laughing at her outburst. After that she just sat quietly and let them get on with it.

Which is how she managed to end up posing on a washing machine wearing the shortest pair of denim shorts she had ever seen, a pair of purple sparkly cowboy boots and a fluorescent pink t-shirt with 100% Gorgeous written on it, her hair sticking straight out of her head in two bunches sprayed with so much hairspray that they couldn't move a millimetre even if there was a tornado.

Leo, the photographer who had come to the school with the woman, who Lily had know found out was called Tara, started snapping pictures.

After it was all over, Tara took her back to the school. It was now eight o'clock in the evening and she had missed dinner. Seeing as she had already missed lunch, she was ravenous.

She walked up to the Gryffindor common room where Louise was sitting, doing potions homework. Lily had already sat down next to her and announced her starvation when she noticed who was sitting on the sofa opposite the one Louise was sitting on.

"Want me to do something about that for you, Lily Flower?"

It was, unsurprisingly, James.

"I mean, thanks to my superior knowledge, I do happen to know where the kitchen is. And, thanks to my friendly nature, the house elves love me. Of course, thanks to my charming ways, you're going to agree to this and then agree to date me."

Yes, it was definitely James.

"I'll agree to the food part but only because otherwise I'll die but it will be in your dreams that I date you Potter."

"And this is why I live for my dreams, Lily Petal. I'll be back soon, I know you'll miss me." And with that he walked out of the room.

Lily turned to Louise, ready to have a nice moan to her but Louise was otherwise occupied, kissing James' friend, Remus, her current boyfriend. Out of the corner of her eye, Lily could see Nymphadora watching them jealously. It was no secret that she had a huge crush on Remus. As Lily watched, her hair turned orange like flame. It must be horrible, Lily thought, not being able to hide your feelings.

James walked back in, his arms laden with dishes of all sorts of delicious foods. He brought them over to Lily.

"Louise," she interrupted her friend, "have some food."

"Why?" Louise asked, after all, she had already eaten.

"I just want to check that he," Lily inclined her head in the James' direction, "hasn't put love potion or something in all of this."

"As if I'd do something like that!" James exclaimed, looking insulted. Louise lifted a spoonful of chocolate pudding to her mouth. "Wait, stop. Actually I did, um, put love potion in the chocolate pudding. It's only the chocolate pudding though." Louise dipped her spoon into the butterbeer flavoured ice-cream, "Wait! It's also in the ice-cream..." James looked sheepish. Remus laughed.

Lily nodded, satisfied, "Though so, now would you be so kind as to show me where the kitchens are so that I can get some food for myself."

What did you think? I wasn't too sure of the ending, it seemed a bit abrupt.

Review please!
