Lily wore a teal chiffon dress, the hem reaching just below her knee. The Potter Manor was bursting of wizard and witches from all over Great Britain for the Potters' annual Ball. She could feel the eyes of their guests boring onto her. What family was she from? Was she a Weasley, for she had red hair? Was she even a Pureblood? Lily nervously fidgeted with her hands while anxiously waiting for James' return.
It was the summer after their last year in Hogwarts; Lily and James were finally together. That night, James had planned on introducing her to his parents. They badly wanted to meet the lady their son had been deeply infatuated with.
Days before the big Ball, Lily had practiced on which lines she will be saying to the Potters. She needed to make a good impression. She also carefully picked a gorgeous dress for the matter.
Lily soon felt a warm hand slide to her wrist and tug on them-James. He was looking dashing tonight with his raven hair brushed back and his dress robes neatly ironed.
James gave her a soft, lopsided smile. "They're going to love you, Lily. Don't worry about it."
