AN: Most of the spells I use in all my stories aren't real, as you may or may not have noticed. I make most of them up. They are usually a combination of Italian and Latin words. "Eliminaoria bacchetta" means "heat wand" in Italian. I could not live in the HP world without WordReference.

Disclaimer: I do not own HP or RM? There is also a certain part of the story that is based off a Friends episode. The One With All the Haste, if you guys know what episode that is. And thank you to whoever gave me the idea for what Sarah and Alice do to Lily and Bethany. I used it along with my idea.

Lily.

"I don't see why you have to be all dressed up." Bethany scoffs as she curls a random piece of my hair around her wand, waiting a second and taking it out, leaving my hair in a perfect curl.

"Because," Sophia says as she sweeps a silvery eye shadow over my closed lid. "She doesn't want to look drugged up from all those herbs she's eaten for memory."

"Those tasted bad." I say. Madame Lou gave me Gingko Biloba, Hawthorn, Gotu Kola, Bacopin, Rosemary and Schisandra, all mixed with some caffeine for alertness. It tasted like rotting burnt food. And it did shit-all.

"But we don't like them, Lily. I would understand wanting to look not-drugged up for me or Sophia or James even."

"I hate James! But yet I want to like him because apparently he really liked me." I shake my head. "I don't understand this anymore. I start to think about all the things I should like about him so I can realize the dynamics of our relationship, but I keep thinking of his arrogance, his pranks and his stupid friends!"

"Ugh, I know how you feel. I don't understand Sirius Black. He's acting a lot like James used to around you." Sophia sighs. "But I don't like him."

"Maybe you and Sirius will end up together. God, then I'm stuck with Remus." Bethany rolls her eyes.

"Trust me, there is no way on earth I will ever say yes to Sirius Black." Sophia reassures us.

"Woah, sense of déjà vu coming on. Wait – Lily Evans, fifth year, before big long talk with James!" Bethany says proudly.

"Is that what you call it? Big long talk?" I ask as Bethany curls another piece of hair and Sophia gets some blush.

"Yeah. But that's not important. Sophia, just go out with Sirius once. Loosen up a little bit! Live a little! You haven't gone out with anyone since Jacob Burton." Sophia pales instantly. "I shouldn't have said it, sorry Sophia. I love you!" Bethany tries to cheer her up, but Sophia just sits down on the little metal chair next to my bed.

"Jacob Burton... why does that name ring a bell?" I muse. "Was he the one I punched for calling me a name at the beginning of fourth year?"

"You remembered something!" Bethany cries out. Sophia brightens a little at the thought of me punching a boy that broke her heart. "This is the first step! It may be a little something, but it's something! Oh, Lily, I am so happy!"

"That happened before 'Drunk Theatre'." Sophia points out. "She would remember that."

Bethany's face falls noticeably. "Oh."

"Anyway, let's get to work. They should be here in fifteen minutes, and I'm almost done her blush." Sophia swirls the blush brush over my cheeks and blows the excess off the brush like smoke from a gun. "Bethany, do the finishing spell." Bethany pulls out her wand.

"There. Now it'll stay that way." Bethany smiles.

"You didn't say anything..." I say, confused.

"Non-verbal spells, Lily. We all had to be doing every spell without talking by the end of sixth year. Don't worry!" She says when she sees my expression. "Once you remember, you will be able to do them perfectly. You are the best on our year!"

"Correction: was the best in our year."

"Correction: will be the best in our year." Sophia says. "Have faith Lily!"

"Faith makes things possible, not easy." I say. "I want all my memories back!"

"I know Lily. Maybe this will help."

As if on cue, Alice and Sarah walk in to the room and I'm instantly reminded of Hollywood superstars. They are wearing a traditional Hogwarts uniform, but with a few... modifications. The buttons on their blouses are down almost all the way, each of them with a black bra underneath. The red- and gold-striped tie we all have to wear is loose around their neck, the knot falling a bit higher than their belly buttons. Their skirts are the normal gray skirts I remember, but they are tighter and higher than I remember, too. They aren't wearing the knee socks and their high heels are most certainly not the little ballet flats we are supposed to wear.

Bethany rolls her eyes. "Even I don't dress like that."

"That's because you have nothing to show off!" Sarah says, looking Bethany up and down.

"I got more than you! What bra size are you? 32A?" Bethany returns.

"34A." Sarah says begrudgingly. "But that doesn't matter, Gigantor. We're here to talk to IQ."

"I can't believe you still say that." Sophia stands next to Bethany, acting as the wingman. "You losers." Sophia smirks.

"She says what's true." Alice steps in as Sarah's wingman. You can tell Sarah is the leader of their little group.

"We'll leave you to 'the truth'. Bye bye bitches!" Bethany says, while Sophia twitches her fingers as a goodbye.

They turn to me. "IQ's back from her little fall." Alice says dauntingly. "Don't worry, sweetie, we know what this is about."

"Huh? I don't know what this is about. And what's IQ?" I ask. I'm scared. I'm thinking of getting Bethany back in here to help me, but I realize I have to do this by myself.

"You know everything. You're faking memory loss. That's what you're up to." Alice says.

"And, you brought us here to try to get back into our group. Sorry IQ. It's full." Sarah finishes.

"What?! I lost three years of my memory. You two obviously aren't the girls I remember. I want to be their friend again. That's why I brought you here." I say. "And I want my life back. So I would appreciate it if you could tell me what we hate each other for." I say, the words coming out in a nervous blur. But, being girls, they catch every word.

"Why should we help you?" They say in unison.

"Because then we can go back to hating each other in peace. If not, I'll want to be your friend again, because I remember being your friend and I miss it."

"Conference!" Sarah calls, and they walk away from my bed to discuss it. I roll my eyes. They are so immature.

Minutes later, they come back. "We'll tell you, IQ. But," Sarah says. "We want you to set each of us up with James."

"Why do you need me to do it? We aren't a couple anymore." I shake my head.

"He's still hung up on you, though I have no clue why." Alice says. "But he'll do anything for you. Two dates from James. Take it or leave it."

"Take it." I say, half thankful I can get back at James and half sorry I was using him like this. He was being so nice about this. But this is such a good way to get back at him. I would be mad not to take it.

"Ask away, IQ" Sarah says.

"Okay. What on earth does IQ stand for?"

"Ice Queen." Sarah says

"Why am I an Ice Queen?"

"Because after 'Drunk Theatre', you ditched us and starting hanging with Bethany. You would walk to class with her, sit with her at lunch, study with her in the common room. You didn't want to be around us anymore. So..." Alice trailed off, obviously wanting Sarah to finish the story.

"We started a rumor." Sarah says.

"A rumour? You started a rumour about me and that's why you hate me?" I want to laugh.

"The rumour was that you and Bethany were... together." Sarah wants to laugh, but she holds it in.

"You told Hogwarts Bethany and I were lesbian?" I ask. "That's sad. You could have thought of something better than that."

"Whatever. Anyway, you and Bethany decided to make the best of it and totally humiliated us at Breakfast one day."

"How?" I ask. Knowing how crazy Bethany and I can get when we're together....

"You stood up on the tables and Bethany said 'You've all heard the rumours about Lily and I. So we wanted to set the record straight.'" Then you said, 'Get ready, Hogwarts!' And..." Alice lets Sarah finish the story.

"You kissed in front of the whole school!" Sarah shouts.

If there was anything in my stomach, it would be on their designer shoes right now. I kissed Bethany? In front of the whole school?

"The guys went insane. You and Bethany went from slightly popular to crazy popular. Everyone seemed to know it was only to humiliate us and you weren't really lesbian, so no one was bothered by it, even the people who actually were lesbian or gay. (See AN at the bottom of the page, it's important.) All the guys were after you, everyone wanted to be your friend. Except us." Sarah and Alice pause to let out a laugh. She continues. "But that's why you're IQ. But it wasn't good enough. We wanted revenge for you shutting down that rumour. So we involved others this time."

"Like who? The Marauders?" I take a guess.

"Nope. Severus Snape." Alice says smugly, and Sarah looks at her angrily for finishing the story.

"We got him to call you a Mudblood." Sarah says. "Severing all friendship between you."

"You're the reason Severus and I aren't friends?! You two are horrible!" I cry. No wonder Severus, my best friend besides Sophia and Bethany, hasn't been in to see me!

"We are. But then Severus tried to apologize, but you still hadn't forgiven him. By the time you came around, he had gotten into the Death Eater crew so you didn't want to be around him anyway..."

"Death Eater? What the hell is that?" I ask.

"We aren't getting into that today." Sarah shakes her head, but I see a little flicker of fear in her eyes. "So anyway, that backfired on us too. We realized we couldn't affect you, so we affected Bethany."

"Bethany? You two have nothing against Bethany!" I gasp.

"We told the whole school that Bethany was on a mission to bring every boy in our year into a broom closet. And she didn't fight back. No boys wanted to be with her because they thought she was a slut. It ruined her love life for half a year. She was sad, she moped around with you. Of course, you were still majorly popular, but even James didn't ask you out as much."

"How did that end?" I ask nervously. Please tell me we didn't kiss again.

"She started dating Sirius Black. Soon, everyone had forgotten that she was a slut. Of course, we found out later they were only dating for that purpose. She still is a slut. Don't let her tell you otherwise."

"Don't call her a slut! Bethany has more heart in one cell than you do in your whole body! And she stuck by me through thick and thin. She and Sophia are nice people! Get out of here!" I cry. "You are two horrible people. I don't want you around me!"

Alice scoffs. " We don't want to be here anyway. But remember, two dates with James, IQ."

"I am not setting you two up with James. He's too nice for that. Even if I hate him and want revenge, I wouldn't condemn him to an evening with you little horrors!"

"Whatever. You and James are broken up anyway. He's going to end up with me. He just wanted to get you just so he could prove he could get you and keep you. We were with him all along. We planned it so it would look like he loved you, but in reality, he was ready to pull the rug from under your feet. You were nothing to him, IQ." They turn on their heels and leave.

My world crashes down around me. I wasted all that time? How could someone do that to someone else? I was wrong. James Potter hasn't changed. James Potter must die.

AN: Hope you enjoyed it! I wanted to say something about the lesbian thing early in the chapter. I have nothing against gays. I believe everyone deserves a chance at love, no matter what the person's gender may be. Some of my best friends are gay. This was just Lily and Bethany being crazy and wanting to end it but not look like it affected them. I also had to develop the fact that Lily wanted to be friends with Bethany because she was fun and carefree, and Lily wanted to come out of her shell. If I offended you, please, please, please tell me.
