Thanks to tatiana17 for reviewing so many times! You rock!
But to clear up one of your reviews: (no offense)
Sam and Remus were never an item but Remus has liked her since fifth year. I was going to say that in a later chapter but I had to clear that up.
Twas the day of the ball…
And everyone was mad...
(and twas my bad attempt at a poem called Twas the Day of the Ball)
"Where's my necklace?"
"Has anyone seen my other shoe?"
Skip ahead to our two favorite people…
Dun dun dun dunnnnServerus Snape and Lucius Malfoy!
-Audience boos-
Oops wrong story…
(A part that doesn't make any sense but I had to add it in!)
Real Story:
Sam and Keisha were in their dormitory just as the frenzy started.
Narrowly receiving a nasty bruise from a seven-inch heel (Are there really seven-inch heels?) chucked at her, Sam asked her friend about the Room of Requirement.
Five minutes later they had escaped the crowd and were laughing themselves up in the seventh floor.
"Well, we have two hours left before the ball. Let's play chess!" Sam hopped up and down.
"No way in hell," Keisha shoved her friend in a bathroom before getting into a second one that popped up.
"So Remus, you decided to go after all," Sirius stated as he wriggled into his Zorro costume.
"Um, yea. Change of mind," Remus looked away guilty, thinking the only reason he was going was to steal his mate's girlfriend.
"Good for you," said James as he put on tattered trousers for his pirate costume.
"I guess, I had nothing better to do," Remus started to change into the Musketeer costume Keisha chose.
"I hope this ball will prove that Sam and I are soulmates!" Sirius danced around.
"Sirius, you're Zorro, not a drunken ballerina," Remus laughed.
"Keish, it's not like we haven't seen each other's costumes before," Samantha whined as she slid her gold earrings on.
"But this way we get the full effect! You done?" the blonde shouted through the closed door.
"Yep," Sam quickly slid her mask on and pulled her hair over it.
"TA-DAAAAA!" Keisha banged the door open.
Sam stared.
Her friend was a total angel. Well not a total angel as angels do not have dresses shorter than their ankles.
(Skip if you don't like descriptions)
Keisha's off-white dress, 3/4 bell-sleeves flowed down to her knees and was made of flowy silk. It was slightly low in front and in back and it was tight until it flared at her waist without the empire waist.
Her hair was as wild as usual and a golden halo hung above her. Her skin was porcelain instead of olive and Keisha's shifting eyes were definitely blue. A simple silver-blue eyeshadow, rosy pink blush, and pale pink gloss made her face glow.
Keish's mask was white velvet with silver sequins sewed on and only covered the area around her eyes. Glitter was sprinkled on to add a dazzling effect and complete the mask.
Her silver stud earrings, silver diamond choker, and matching bracelet matched her silver 2" heels.

Keisha stared at her friend.
Samantha resembled a Hollywood movie star at the Academy (sp?) Awards.
(Skip if you don't like descriptions)
Sam wore a red spaghetti strap gown with asymmetrical shoulder straps. Clinging to her every curves, it ended at her ankles in a fishtail hem. (Something similar to Taylor's dress to senior prom in season three of the O.C. but with "asymmetrical shoulder straps and a fishtail hem")
Her hair was left down in loose waves and her make-up was a bronze eyeshadow, bronze blush, and a thick red lipstick with an overcoat of clear gloss. (It is the 70's…)
Sam's mask was red with a gold trim. Like Keisha's, it only covered the area around her eyes, but Sam's was silk and simple like her dress.
Her dangling gold ruby earrings and gold ruby bracelet matched the gold necklace she inherited from her father, which she never took off. Simple strappy gold 4" heels finished off her look.
Keisha looked elaborate and spotlight grabbing while Samantha was simple but elegant.

"Well, let's go down to the common room now. I want to talk to Sirius before we go," Sam packed up her things and concentrated hard on a door to the Gryffindor common room.
A portrait of a girl similar to the Fat Lady appeared, though she was thinner and her dress was more purple-y. (If a door popped up, anyone could go to the Gryffindor place)
"Password?"
"Fairy Lights."
After they stowed their things away, they met a musketeer, Zorro, pirate, and a cowgirl lounging on the couches.
"Hey, guys! Hey, Lily!" they greeted.
"Hey, Sirius," Sam hugged him.
"I don't get a kiss?" Sirius pouted.
"Do you want lipstick on you?"
"No."
"Then let's go."
As Sirius, Samantha, James and Lily disappeared, Remus leaned to Keisha.
"Sure this is going to work?"
"Can't make any promises." And they left.
Down at the entrance to the Great Hall, Sam hugged Sirius goodbye and walked in, the feeling of forgetfulness washing over her.
A/N: So the ball begins! I couldn't help describing every bit of Sam and Keisha's outfits.
