"Ok, so now we finally have our lists ready, right?" said Padmé exasperate. The girls nodded, "And I think I will ignore the fact that it is Saturday at 11:00 when we should already be shopping at Hogsmeade." The other girls rolled their eyes.
"So, are we going to go yet? Or must you complain some more?" asked Milk dodging away from Pad. Pad stomped out the door in response.
They had made it down to the lawn without to much mishap and started off to Hogsmeade. Once they got there they wandered at first, buying candy and butter beer and looking at the Shrieking Shack. They were on there way to finally actually get their costume stuff when they met up with the four guys.
"So, what are you guys going to be?" asked Cave when they were on their way back into Hogsmeade. James looked at Remus and seemed to be thinking when Sirius said,
"IT'S A SECRET!!! SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Hehehehe." He looked so completely pleased with himself that the girls really didn't want to laugh-but yay right it was just too funny…so they laughed…duh! Sirius looked confused but before he could ask Pad grabbed the girls and dragged them away-needless to say that they were still laughing-to go find their costume stuff.
It took them about an hour or two before they were all satisfied with their lot.
"Well, I think that we should go get some more candy and maybe a book or two but then we really have to go back so we can get ready." Pad said as Milk and Cave finished paying
"Candy is good." Milk said matter-a-factly.
"Duh." Di rolled her eyes.
"I like the idea." Cave said as she finished putting her stuff in her bag. "Shall we?" she asked, they all nodded and we to get more CANDY!
At the candy store they met the boys, buying candy and well stealing candy.
"So are you going to tell us what you're going to be tonight?" asked Milk again. Sirius looked at her and opened his mouth-then Hayden put a large chewing piece of fudge or something in his mouth and Sirius-well to put it lightly-forgot…
"We are making it a secret…if you didn't get that before." Remus said coming up behind Pad, who screeched and glared at him muttering-bad words I'm sure. "Aren't yours secrets?" He asked then looking apologetically at Padmé who continued to glare.
"Well now they are aren't they." Said Pad in an annoyed voice. Everyone else-but Sirius who was still busy with his chewy candy- rolled their eyes. The girls said good-bye and walked up to the castle so they could start getting ready.
"Don't be grumpy Pad." Said Di slinging her arm over Pad's shoulders, Pad glared at her with a raised eye brow. Di rolled her eyes, "Well, I guess you can. Hey Milk, are you going to try and steal his wand? Or just transfigure a stick to look like his."
"Well, I think it would be simpler if I just transfigured a stick." Milk replied after some thought.
"Then here, you should get a stick now-so you don't have to come out later." said Pad throwing her a pretty smooth stick.
"Thanx." Milk looking a little surprised at Pad's thoughtfulness.
"Whatever, hurry up." Pad stalked the rest of the way up the lawn and into the castle.
First they all got into their costume cloths-or at least the under cloths-and then each started to work on their make up and such.
Milk grew out her hair and they used magic to make it wavy. Then they put on the mask of Sirius's face-a magic made mask that made Milk's face expand and contract where necessary. Then they put on a breast band and one of Sirius's long sleeved white shirts-courtesy of Di and Pad's sneaky stealing the night before. Then a pair of Sirius's pants hemmed by Pad and a pair of shoes just like his but a few sizes smaller. So then all they had to do was transfigure the wand.
Di had used magic and made the jersey and such that she would need and just shortened her hair a little and dyed it temporarily golden with blue streaks. Then she took out her broom and changed it a little to make it more like Kylie's.
Cave had found a more old fashioned everyday kind of dress, it was a lavender cloth spaghetti strap knee length under a light blue almost see through long sleeved outer with a braded gold belt to hold it all together. She made her hair much longer a dark brown, and braided it into a bun. Then she put in contacts, one of blue(to make lavender) and one of a yellow green(to make green).
Pad had gone into the bathroom after putting on her pants that tucked into her boots that where brown leather with a folded top-and a little heel. Along with her puffy long sleeved white-slightly white-shirt. The girls hadn't seen her after wards, and had only heard her cries of frustration.
She came out when Cave knocked and asked if she was ready. Padmé came out grinning widely-clearly very pleased with herself. Since she was grinning they could see that she had grown out her two teeth that were two teeth away from the middle teeth. She also had a vest and two belts, a sword, three pointed hat, and a few scars on her face and arms.
"Very nice." James pronounced. The girls all jumped and turned to glare at the window, James-and the rest of the boys(except Remus who was the only nice one)had flown up to their window and were looking in the window. Pad grabbed her wand-seemed to think better of it and bowed. Then she waved her wand casually and blocked the window with pillows.
"It's a secret morons! Go get your own costumes on!" They heard the boys laughing and Pad sighed. "Well, at least your costumes will be a secret."
The other girls-who had ducked out of sight-came up and grinned. "Shall we go to dinner then?" asked Milk starting for the door.
"Um, maybe in a half an hour or so we should go." Di replied looking at the clock.
"Oh." Milk collapsed onto her, "So, now what?"
"Well, I don't know about you but I'm going to read." Pad said sitting down in one of the chairs in their room and calling a book to her.
She started reading and the others all started doing the same, just relaxing-reading or writing. Then Pad put down her book and turned to Milk,
"So, who do you like?"
Milk looked at her and then thought, "Well, I think I kind of like James still but I don't know." She said sheepishly and shrugged. Pad grinned,
"Your out fit is very fitting then." She started giggling but then turned to Cave, "And you, who do you like?"
Cave looked thoughtful, "I'm not really sure I like anyone right now, maybe James a little still…but I don't really know."
"Oh come on." Pleaded Padmé, but when Cave shrugged again she moved on, "Fine, so Di. How about you, who do you like?"
"I think I might like Remus." She admitted. Pad nodded trying to look serious.
"Very sensible, very sensible indeed." Di glared at her.
"So who do you like misses know it all?" Padmé shrugged,
"Why do you think I asked you people?" There was silence. "Because I can safely say that I don't like anyone. Duh."
They fell into silence once more, reading or whatever. They continued that way until they heard a knock at their dormitory door. Milk stretched and went to open the door, know one was there but a voice ran up from the bottom of the stairs,
"Are you coming?"
"Bloody Hell!" Pad-who had started to close her eyes-started up and pulled out her wand. Cave looked at the clock and her eyes widened,
"Um guys. I think we should go or we might be late." The other girls looked at the clock and quickly picked up anything they needed and started down the stairs. Pad leaded since the boys had already saw her. Then Di came along.
"The other girls will come along later. They had to finish quickly." Di told the boys. Then she stopped and realized why Pad was giggling. She grinned, "Nice." She told them. James glared, the boys were………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….(Hehehehe I can't wait!)……………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………They were the three- ya know it really should be four considering that there are four of them through out almost all of the story-but anyway they were the Four Musketeers!!!
"Let's-snort-start-giggle-down." Pad said turning James and Sirius around and starting down.
"I don't get what's so funny." James complained, "I thought that the costumes where pretty correct, especially since Remus helped."
"No, really James they are like perfect it's just, well kind of a little bit of a shock." Pad started still giggling.
"What that I listened to your suggestion?" James snapped back looking disgruntled.
"Well, that." Pad said still grinning. "And the fact that I gave you that suggestion when we were like six or seven."
"So?" asked James still looking disgruntled and confused.
"It means that we are way too old for dressing up like this and we are very lame." Remus replied for Pad, having walked up to walk with them.
"WHAT?!?!?!?! We are so NOT lame!!!!" Sirius (Gaaaaa!!!!!! Waaaaaa!!!! No, don't die Sirius!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kish-sry just finished rereading HP 5 and it's so SAD!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!) Anyway, Sirius said looked scandalized.
"Are we really?" asked James flatly.
"Well, no I actually think it's kind of cute." Pad said smiling.
"So do I." Di repeated, "Plus, they were pretty cool."
"Yeah, ya know I agree with that statement." Milk said as she and Cave came out from under the invisibility cloak Pad had ordered last week. The boys gapped at them.
"You look-um…" Hayden stopped grinning(to Milk).
"Gah!!! ME!!!!" Sirius yelled seemingly he had just realized that they had come there. James was just standing there with mouth slack staring at………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Cave. She did look quite stunning, but that didn't really explain his reaction-unless you knew something else. Pad was laughing at Sirius's reaction along with everyone else-including the new shorter Sirius, and excluding James Bloody Potter.
Cave was smiling and looking pretty, when she noticed James's stare. She looked at him confused. Di noticing Caves look saw James and elbowed Pad-who, well you can hardly blame her, screamed. A few random people ran into their corridor looking to help I'm sure but when they saw Pad looking murderously at Di and then at them they scattered. But Pad had gotten Di's-painful-message and immediately turned and ran into James 'by accident.'
James grabbed her to hold him up but that just made her fall with him. However Padmé was saved from falling by Hayden who grabbed her arm and pulled her away from James to him so she stayed standing. An interesting thing happened then both she and Hayden blushed-something she almost never did. It pretty much silenced everything else since even Sirius could hardly have missed it with James falling and all. Pad and Hayden both stepped away from each other, Pad nodded her thanx and then turned on everyone else. She lifted up her head and glared at them contemptuously and swept down the corridor towards the Great Hall. Cave and Milk turned and followed after looking at everyone else-but Hayden. Di ran to catch up with them.
The boys stayed there for a few minutes in silence then Remus helped up James and Hayden led them silently into the Great Hall. It was bursting with noise which paused as some people saw Sirius walked in. There were a lot of pointing and stares. The boys looked confused for a minute till Remus grinned and pointed at the Gryffindor table. There sat the other Sirius with Saxon, Lily, and Abrinna. At least that's what the rest of the school was seeing.
"We should have switched you two so when they figure it out they will think that you are Basha and she is you." Remus said grinning.
"If we go sit by them it will be just as confusing-especially since Milk is sitting on the end and Sirius can sit there too." Hayden said grinning.
"Ya know if Pad hadn't just come up with the idea of dressing Basha up as a Musketeer just now it would have been much much easier. And why did you just call Basha Milk?" James amended as they walked over to sit with the girls.
"Because," Hayden shrugged, "That's what they call her and I pretty mush forgot her real name so…(Hehehe so did I! I had to look it up! –Kish)" The boys had arrived at the girls seat. Sirius sat next to 'Sirius', Remus sat on the other side of the table next to Di, and Hayden and James sat next to Sirius. They made an odd group-the now five Musketeers, Kylie-quidditch player, a pirate with fangs, and a girl with weird eyes and a pretty old fashioned dress.
They were half way through dinner when James said,
"Cave?" She looked up immediately for she had noticed his incessant staring…
"Will you go out with me?"
"James!" Pad said after a moment that Cave looked surprised, confused, and stunned. "It's rude to spring something like that on a person! And she will not." Pad added after looking at Caves face.
"But I-"
"No buts young man!" He grumbled but didn't say anything more.
