Chapter 3:

After the first day of lessons, most students were either annoyed at the homework load, excited for the party or exhausted from the work. Lily Potter was positively beaming. While other students may go on about her being a teacher's pet, she didn't care. She missed magic so much over the summer and she was glad to be back in her usual routine.

"Lily!" Jenny came straight up to her when Lily had claimed the best spot in the Gryffindor common room.

"What, Jen?"

"I heard you finally accepted a date to Hogsmeade from none other than James Potter!" She winked.

I should've known something like this would happen, she thought to himself in a dry tone. "No, Jenny. He just told me about the start-of-term party on the Quidditch pitch tonight and I said I'd go," She yawned. "I'm kind of tired though, so I might not."

"You have to," Jenny said seriously. She had the expression that Lily dreaded, that meant Lily was going to the party whether she liked it or not.

James sat with his back to the door after classes, with Remus and Sirius up in their dorm.

"Alcohol?" He asked his friends.

"Already taken care of," Sirius said swiftly.

"How?" Remus put in.

"Never you mind, Moony."

The others thought it better not to question Sirius on his reliable ways to get them booze.

A kick at the door told James to move out the way in time for Peter to hurry in.

Looking slightly out of breath, Peter sat on his bed with an excited expression on his face.

"Spit it out, Peter. Before you wet yourself," Sirius said from his own bed.

Going red in the cheeks, Peter said, "You know the sixth year Gryffindor girls?"

James looked up, interested.

"I found out who chose who in that claim a boy thing that they do," He said in a rush.

"Why do you care?" Sirius said at the same time as Remus said, "Who chose whom, Peter."

James rolled his eyes at Remus correcting Peter's grammar.

"I-I'm just curious..." Peter defended himself.

"We know you fancy the pants off Tori Kingsley, mate," James said with a smirk.

Peter was almost as red as the Gryffindor bed sheets at this point.

Quickly, to spare Peter, Remus said, "So who did they choose?"

"Katy Benn chose Diggory in Hufflepuff, that Jennifer girl chose you Sirius," Peter started.

James looked at Sirius who had sighed. "She's pretty, you know," James pointed out.

"Yeah, she is," He admitted. "But not my type."

"Amelia Ryan chose Markson in seventh year," He paused.

"What about Kingsley and Evans, then?" Sirius asked.

Peter decided to go with the safe option of embarrassing himself instead of the shock of Evans' choice. "Tori chose David Jordan in Ravenclaw," He said sadly.

The room was quiet as they waited for him to continue.

"And what about Evans?" James said bitterly.

"I-I don't want to s-say," Peter didn't dare look at James.

"If it's old Snivellus, just tell me," He sighed.

"It's not."

Sirius was quite curious now, despite himself and even Remus looked up from his book.

"Go on," Sirius urged. "Tell us, Wormtail."

"Its R-Remus," Peter squealed after another moment of silence.

All the boys looked at the rather shocked Remus Lupin for a second before James stood and shouted, "What?"

Back in the girls' dormitory, they were all getting ready for the party that night, even Lily.

"What top shall I wear?" Tori said, holding two different tops, as she stood on her bed in just her underwear.

"The white one," Katy commented while she charmed her hair into curls.

Amelia's gorgeous brown locks were piled on top of her hand and she stood wearing tracksuit bottoms and a bra. Regardless of that, the expression on her face made her simply terrifying as she stared at Jenny, who was holding a bottle in her head.

"Give me that hair sleeking potion now, Jennifer," She said slowly.

Lily laughed, "You better give it to her, Jen."

But Jenny wasn't giving up without a fight, "Never!" She screamed and jumped onto her own bed while unscrewing the lid.

"There's only enough left for one!" Amelia yelled as she chased her friend.

"That's why I need it!"

The other three girls watched with amusement as Amelia and Jenny fought over the bottle.

But as Amelia tried to take it from Jenny, the bottle slipped and the remaining contents spilt onto the bed.

"No!"

"Oh my god!"

Lily rolled over laughing, she couldn't help it. The looks on their faces as they stared down at the duvet made it looked like someone had died!

"Lily!" Jenny screamed, seeing her friend giggling.

The next thirty minutes were torture as Katy tried to do both girls' hair with her wand. Her mother was a Wizarding hair dresser, so she had picked up a thing or two.

Lily hated to say it, she really did. It made her sound like such a typical teenage girl – the last thing she wanted to be. But she had to. So she whined to her friends, "I have nothing to wear!"

"I'll help," Tori smiled. "But you have to trust me and wear whatever I say, okay?"

"Well..."

"Lily Katherine Evans!"

"Alright, alright," Lily sighed.

The other girl smirked and started going through her wardrobe.

A few minutes later, she straightened up and held a dress out to Lily.

"Oh no!"

"Oh yes," Tori said with an evil grin.

Half an hour later, Lily stood in the dorm, nervous for the party. Usually she wasn't the type to get nervous over parties and things, but tonight was different. Lily looked different.

She looked gorgeous, her friends had assured her. But she wasn't worried about that; she was worried about people's reactions.

Her red hair was in looser curls than usual, her green eyes rimmed in black eyeliner. Tori hadn't put much make-up on her, but what she did made a big difference to Lily. Her eyes looked bigger, her lips were slightly more coloured and her cheekbones were defined.

Besides her hair and make-up, the dress was nothing that Lily would have picked for herself. She felt rather uncomfortable with her legs bared and cleavage showing. But there was no changing Tori Kingsley's mind when it was made.

Lily looked in the full length mirror once more. The dress was very pretty, she had to admit. It was a gorgeous black mini-dress, it ended just a few inches below her waist and hugged her curves and made her chest look bigger than it actually was. As well as the dress, she wore black ankle boots with heels ("Heels, Tori! I can't walk in heels!"). Tori had bewitched the heels so Lily could actually walk in them, which she wouldn't have had a chance of doing if they hadn't been. Finally, a massive black bow had been placed in her flaming hair.

"Don't you think I look a bit... gothic?" She asked Tori uncertainly.

Amelia and Katy had already left, seeing as they couldn't go in a big group. Katy was wearing skin tight jeans and a very small top that Lily mistook for a bra. Lily thought Amelia looked much classier, wearing a white dress that exaggerated her curves and complimented her dark skin tone.

Tori turned to her and scowled while Jenny said, "Honey, I don't think you could ever look gothic with that baby face and bright hair."

Tori herself looked like a supermodel; she had the blue eyed, blonde haired thing going on and was part Veela. Right now, she wore tiny shorts like were apparently called 'hot pants' and were in fashion, according to Tori. As well as them, she wore neon pink stiletto sandals and a white crop top with a peace sign on it. The peace sign was the exact pink as her shoes; they were so similar that she must have charmed them. Her blonde hair was in a high ponytail and she looked really fun.

Jenny herself wasn't going to the party; she had suddenly felt ill but refused to go to Madam Pomfrey.

"You sure you're going to be alright?" Lily asked in concern.

"Yes, she'll be fine, Lils! Stop trying to find an excuse not to go to the party!" Tori said loudly.

"Good luck, bet James'll have a heart attack when he sees you," Jenny grinned.

Tori giggled, "Or a boner."

With Lily glaring and Tori giggling, they set off to the party.
