Disclaimer: I don't own any of it, it all belongs the best ever authoress, JKROWLING!!!!!!!!!(except Kylie and Kelsi.)

One week later, the entire population of Hogwarts was in Hogsmeade. Or London. Lily, Mary, Alice, Kylie and Kelsi were in London, dress shopping. Well, right now they were all trying on dresses. Kelsi had just come out of the changing room and her friends were admiring the dress she had chosen. It was a strapless floor-length midnight blue dress.

"Ohmigosh, Kels, it's so you!" Alice squealed.

"Yeah, totally!" Lily agreed. "Buy it!"

"O-okay…" Kelsi said, smiling slowly.

Just then, Kylie stepped out of the dressing room. She had on a beautiful berry-coloured boatneck floor-length dress. Once again, her friends complimented her and told her to buy it.

In the end, Mary bought a knee-length red dress, and Alice bought a cream coloured knee-length dress. Lily bought a forest-green floor-length halter dress. Satisfied by their purchases, the girls headed back to Hogwarts.

"Hey Lily?" Kylie said sleepily as the girls got ready for bed.

"Yeah?"

"Do you have a date for the ball yet?"

"No, not yet. I might go alone, though." Lily said thoughtfully.

The next morning, Lily received a letter. However, she didn't open it. She just stared at the return address in shock. It was from Petunia Evans-to-be-Dursley. After a long day of classes, Lily said

"I'm going for a walk." And she got up and left. No one thought much of it until Lily had been gone for over an hour.
