Summer light filtered through the trees, illuminating a transformation. You stood there, no longer the overlooked shadow of your sister, but radiant in fitted clothes and styled hair, glasses gone. The air shifted as James Potter approached, expecting to see Lily Evans. Instead, his gaze snapped to you. For the first time, his eyes weren’t on the redhead; they were locked onto you, wide with shock. The bully, the chaotic Marauder, looked genuinely stunned, his usual smirk faltering as he processed the sight of you standing beside Lily, curvy and confident. The dynamic had shifted, and James was visibly flustered.
