*Nike's POV*
The day of the Halloween Ball was here, which if you're a girl you know that means spending all day being girly and shit like that.
So I was currently locked up in the girl's dormitory. Don't misunderstand I loved hanging out with my chicas but I just felt a little out of the loop. I was basically the only girl in the whole SCHOOL that didn't have a date to this dance! Yeah I mean that one was my own choice but hey, almost all the guys were going stag why can't I? Ella was going with Remus though only as friends, they had gotten close because they had all the same classes. Lily was going with some Ravenclaw boy who was VERY good eye-candy. Alice was going with her boyfriend Frank who is a year ahead of us. And as I've mentioned I'm Ms. Forever Alone.
I got asked by a pair of boys from Hufflepuff-twins but they looked so alike I thought they were same person. Oops. Oh well, since I'm going stag I can dance with any one I want so I'm okay with it.
So here we are at 10:00 AM in the bathroom doing quizzes from Witch's Weekly. Ella turned to me "What about you Nike? DO you have a crush on any one yet?" I turned whirled around to face her "I've been here for a month…I barely know anyone beside you guys and the Marauders…" She rolled her eyes "So? The Marauders are cute. What about one of them?" I hadn't really thought about them very much. "They're all pretty good looking in different ways…but each of them have baggage. James is too in love with 'Lily-kins' over here, Sirius is a whore, Peter is…just no. Remus is too shy if we dated I would wear him out!" The girls started giggling at that.
At 11:30 we all headed to lunch. The boys headed down about 15 minutes later. I was suddenly crushed between Remus and Sirius. Sirius looked as if he was just drug out of bed, he was wearing black sweats and a wife beater. He was taking some 4th year Gryffindor girl to the dance. Remus was in his school slacks and a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up. I was definitely squashed between some good-looking guys.
Remus is adorable, I wish he and Ella liked each other as more than friends.
Sirius ruffled my hair and said "Morning Squirt!" I stuck my tongue out to demonstrate my amazing amount on maturity. Yes, I was tall but Sirius was a freaking giant. Remus said "Morning Nike!" "Morning Remmy!" he rolled his eyes, clearly disgusted with the nickname I had lovingly bestowed on him.
Suddenly toast popped up in front of Sirius and I. We both knew what that meant. Remus chuckled and said 1, 2, 3, GO!" Sirius and I immediately tried to cram as much toast down our throats while Remus counted down from 30. I managed to eat 12 pieces but Sirius beat me with 14. "Damn it! It's not fair your mouth is gigantic!" He let out a barking laugh. "Nike you still have to take the punishment." I gave my famous puppy look. He just gestured to the glass of water in front of me. "You are stone-hearted!" I transfigured the water into firewhiskey and started to chug.
I was thoroughly shit-faced by the time I finished. "You suck. Lily's going to kill me." James' head immediately popped up from where he had been sleeping on the table "Lily" Peter rolled his eyes. "False alarm James, go back to sleep."
I stood up, sort of I almost fell but Sirius caught me.
"See you gents I have to go get pretty for the dance."
"Toodles!" "Bye!" "Au Revoir!" "Parting is such sweet sorrow!"
I headed up stairs and spent the next two hours getting dressed and ready and then helped everyone else. At 7:00 we were all as beautiful as we could be and it was time to head down.
Thank you for all the story alerts, however I didn't get a single review last chapter…I would be REALLY encouraged if you guys could leave some reviews. Constructive Criticism is VERY welcome.
So the dance is next chapter!
I'm thinking about discontinuing this story or putting it up for adoption but if you would like me to continue writing please PLEASE leave a review!
