A/N god, I can't even remember the last time I updated this! My apologies for those who care! Btw, I changed how Tonks and Remus got together, they were never together, Remus loved Sirius and Tonks was just a needy whore. So, some Tonks bashing guys!

Step two; capture his/her attention. Anyway humanly/wizardly/creaturely possible.

"Hey Jami-what the fuck did you do to yourself!" Teddy exclaimed as I sat beside him in the great hall, I grinned at his reaction.

For my method I had to resort to telling my best friend. Which, resorted in many girly squeals, some tears (not mine, I solemnly swear!) and a bucket load of ice-cream. Sometimes, I wonder how I never found out I was gay before this.

Let me explain further, it could come in handy.

Let's start simple okay? With a basic description of Lizzie. Elizabeth Longbottom was the Lily to Freddie's James. Literally, we are the second generation of the marauders. I, had been graced with the blessing of becoming Padfoot, I had been expecting Prongs but I can totally see how I became Padfoot. Dashingly handsome, longish hair and a flair for the dramatics, plus, there's that awesome motorbike that my mother has absolutely no idea about so let's keep that between me and you, ok?

Freddie became Prongs, his cocky, bold nature bringing out the stag in him, the fact that he somehow passes every test he takes without studying, and the fact, that underneath that strong exterior he's desperately in love with someone who doesn't notice. He confessed to me last night during Lizzie, mine and his 'girls night' (how didn't I notice, I mean holy hippo griff, girls night, how did this not occur to me!) , he's in love with Emmett Longbottom . I know Emmett well enough, he's on the quidditch team, his father usually brings him and his kid brothers Lorcan and Lysander over to the burrow on Christmas. I was more than a little shocked when Freddie told me he was Bi, but he mostly preferred guys. But I could kind of see it in his behaviour, y'know.

God, I'm such a hypocrite.

Teddy was Moony. It was unavoidable. Teddy used to fear that we chose Moony for him because he was his father, but we didn't. Remus Lupin was one (damn sexy if you don't mind me sayin') strong man. He went so many hardships. He was a werewolf, but I wouldn't count that a hardship, more like a blessing in disguise, he probably wouldn't be who he was if he wasn't a werewolf. He dealt with the death of his lover, (the older me, Sirius Black), he dealt with when he was raped by Nymphadora Tonks, the nightmares, when Teddy arrived on his doorstep only hours old, he took him in without a word. When he died in the 2nd wizarding war, he left behind Teddy. Only a year old.

Teddy's like that in some ways. Strong, that is. He grew up an orphan, faced with the loneliness of being parent-less. He was raised by my dad, so he grew up just another part of my life. He had to live with knowing he was the result of rape, dealing with the insecurities and ridicule that came with it, he's so strong that sometimes, I feel like a damsel in distress in his presence. Plus, he gained his fathers amber eyes, addiction to chocolate and he's a total bibliophile as much as he protests it.

We don't have a worm tail, we didn't allow ourselves a wormtail after what happened last time.

But back to Lizzie, she's been there as long as I can remember, well, we met her in first year, I dumped pumpkin juice on her head after she turned my owl into a pigeon.

It was the start of a beautiful friendship.

Anyways, for details of the girly night, which I have no idea why Freddie's make me write down, probably because I just outed him to all you poor helpless souls needing this guide, (sorry mate) please proceed and refrain from teasing me any chance you get.

"So...what's the big need for an emergency girls night?" Lizzie asked, slipping a spoonful of pumpkin pastry ice-cream between her lips and sucking (I guess, that's how I knew I absolutely wasn't straight when I payed more attention to the ice-cream she was hogging *cough*bitch*cough* than the obscene gesture she was making.

"Let's get down to business then." Freddie said, folding his palms in his laps and twiddling his thumbs, "Er-right. So hypothetically, if someone's in love with a person, then they should be together, if maybe, it just so happens that other person may just so happen to fancy the other person?"

Lizzie's eyes widened and her mouth slid open with a comical pop before her face took on a slightly sympathetic look, "I'm sorry guys. But I don't fancy either of you, your like my brothers, but maybe I can set you up wi-"

"Lizzie!" Freddie growled, sparing a glance at me and continuing, "None of us are in love with you! Jamie loves Teddy and I," he took a deep breath before saying, "I might fancy your brother."

So yeah, literally my mouth dropped open whilst Lizzie launched herself at us in some sort of one person group hug. Looking over her shoulder and ignoring her squealings, I mouthed to Freddie, "Your gay?" He shrugged apologetically, "Bi!" He corrected, I nodded and patted him on the head by way of acceptance.

"But that ain't the reason we came to you Liz," I said, "We're doing a guide, it's stupid really, but one of the steps we came up with is get his attention. But we've no idea how to do that, help?"

Lizzie pulled back, her mouth turning into a maniacal smile.

Oh fuck.

I'm starting to regret asking her.

*Present day*

I'm never going to regret asking her.

Best decision I ever made.

Teddy's face is one of shock and I know I've captured his attention.

Lizzie, the evil genius that I now worship, gave me a makeover.

My ebony hair, which used to be chin-length (which I could pull off because I never looked like my father) is now cut to my eyes and my fringe is cut to be feathery and is streaked with red. I've got several piercings up one ear (only 3 of which is fake!) and a stud in my nose and tongue. Which I motherfucking love!

My eyes seem to glitter evilly behind the eyeliner she had so carefully taught me how to apply.

Ditching my regulation flared trousers and leather shoes for black jeans and doc martins with lime green laces I can practically feel McGonagall stare at me from the Professors table, although she can say nothing because I've definitely broken no rules.

I checked.

Feeling everyone's eyes on me ,I pull my beanie down over my ears and wink at some hufflepuff boy. Yes, hufflepuff BOY.

I turn to a gob-smacked Teddy and grin wider, grabbing a drink of apple juice (it's his favourite, I know), leaning across the table, I whisper "Lizzie got a hold of me, wait until you see Freddie. She attacked him too!"

When Freddie walks in, I can hear the multiple gasps and grin at him boyishly as he cockily throws a wink to where Emmett was sitting with a bunch of random ravenclaws.

His hair, which used to hang to his ears has been cut and styled so it sticks up in most angles true prongs style, my grandfather would be proud. He's stuck to his school trousers but on his feet are dirty purple converse with their laces trailing, his robes sleeves are pushed to his elbows, showing off the tattoos he got once when us too were drunk on Christmas. I got one too, but it's on my foot and I've got a moon on my heart.

He doesn't even look that different, but he walks more confidently, and yeah, he walks, not swaggers, Lizzie told us that Emmett told her that he hated it when he did that. Flopping onto the bench beside Teddy we both turn to watch as Liz makes her entrance, ignoring every bodies eyes on us, (yeah, we all had to enter separately. Makes it more noticeable right? Please tell me Teddy noticed).

A collective gasp echoes again as Liz shyly scurries over to where we all sat, her head ducked shyly. Her blue eyes twinkled happily when she reached us and she sat beside me, her blonde curls bouncing happily on her shoulders. "Well well well, don't we look pretty? Whatd'you think messer Fred? Doesn't our Lizzie look all grown up?" I said, wrapping an arm around her, while she smacks the back of my head grumpily.

Something's never change.

She definitely looks different, She used to have fake purple hair that did nothing for her completion. She ditched the luminous eye shadows for a more subtle grey. She looks like her again, except the creation she made from her mind.

"Not that I mind, but what's up with the new looks and why was I ignored?" Teddy's amused voice asks us, Freddie grins at him apologetically.

"Sorry mate, last minute thing, Liz just sort of jumped us." He explained, while Teddy raises one eyebrow in amusement.

"And it's not like you need it." I say before I can help myself, fuck! Abort! Abort! "I mean, your a metamorphamagus, you can change your appearance at will!"

Nice save Jamie-boy. Nice save.

A/N so guys, that was a bit longer wasn't it?
