Her room looked like a potions explosion had gone off in her closet. Every article of clothing Lily owned was currently scattered around her floor. Standing, shirtless, in a pair of faded jeans, she ran her hands through her hair in frustration. Sirius was going to be there in less than an hour and she'd already tried on what felt like a hundred different outfits - all rejected as 'too'. Too fancy, too casual, too tarted up, too much like hanging out with her best mate, too short, too frumpy... Everything, though, was just a bit too tight (which, though she didn't realize it, was part of Eris' revenge), which made her incredibly annoyed.

Finally, completely disgusted with her own sudden trip to Girly Town, Lily grabbed some clothes and headed into her bathroom to shower. Emerging a half-hour later, dressed, finally, in something that at least didn't make her look like a grandmum, Lily flicked her wand a few times towards the mess, cleaning up enough to make it appear like she didn't just spend half a day digging through her wardrobe. Her hair hung loose in waves down her back and Lily spent an extra several minutes doing up her makeup. Some perfume was dabbed on her wrists and just under her ears.

Just as she finished zipping up her boots, there was a knock on the door. Taking a deep breath, trying to settle the butterflies in her stomach down enough to tone down the incredibly goofy smile on her face, Lily pulled open the door.

"Hey."
