Hey everybody! Sorry I took so long updating. I'm horrible about that. But anywho, if the beginning of this chapter doesn't match up with end of the last one (time frame), I'm sorry. I'm on a friend's computer, and it won't let me open up my own story! And I forgot when the last one ended (what month), so I guessed. And if the time doesn't match, pretend like it does, and red anyways! Thanks~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The months faded by in a blur. A little bit of homework there, an essay or project or two there. As April came to a close, Dumbledore decided that they would have another dance. However, this would be a U.S. muggle theme. Everyone had to dress like muggles. People had to come as a group or couples. They could come dressed similar dressed as a couple or with other people in a group. At the end of the dance, there would be a contest of which group dressed the best. The dance would be from 6:00 to 12:00. It was for all ages. Lily, Kelly, Chris, and Izzy were so excited. They decided to be a group and dress the same with the "hippie" trend that was going on in the United States. The dance was set for May 30, the day after their exams ended. Kelly, who had some cousins in America, called them to ask them what they should wear. They got some suggestions, and together, came up with the perfect outfit. They decided to drop their good-girl images for the night and go totally unexpected. Even though everyone wanted to think about the dance, they couldn't. The exams were looming ahead of them, coming closer and closer as the days passed. Lily and Kelly were never to be seen, and no one knew why except for Izzy and Chris. Lils and Kel were always in their own "library". They had all of the books that they needed and more. Izzy and Chris were up there with them too sometimes, and they had "help sessions" each night. The girls' method of studying worked very well. They made an exam schedule and studied by that. Their first exam was Transfiguration in the morning, and then in the afternoon was Potions. So, the night before the exam, Chris and Lily tackled Potions, while Kelly and Izzy took Transfiguration. They studied those for an hour and a half, then switched. After that, they went around in a circle asking each other questions. Finally, at 11:00, they were done. Chris and Izzy went down to their dorm, and went to sleep, and Lily and Kelly did the same in their room. They followed this pattern each night, and on the last night, they finished at 9:30 b/c they only had Charms to study for. After they were done, they started discussing their outfits for the dance. They had all the details worked out at 10:30, and they all turned in early. The Charms exam was easy b/c they had studied so hard. All students had the afternoon free, and Lily, Kelly, Chris, and Izzy spent it lounging by the lake and talking about how they think they did on their exams. The next day was a Hogsmeade day. The main purpose was to get their clothes for the dance, but you could really do whatever you wanted to. Chris, Sirius, Lily, James, Kelly, Remus, and Izzy all went into the new muggle shop that sold the latest fashions. It was packed. The girls helped the guys pick out their clothes (bell-bottom jeans and funky shirts), and then they got themselves their accessories, and walked out. "Um, girls?" said Sirius. "Aren't you going to get your outfits?" "No," said Kelly. "We're going to make them so that no one else will have the same thing as us" "Oh" said Remus The walked back up to the castle, and when they got to the Gryffindor common room, Chris explained the plan to the guys. "Us girls want to make an entrance, so we are going to turn up and 6:20, ok?" "Ok, but what should we do for 20 minutes?" asked James "Do whatever you want, but be ready at 6:20" "What do you mean?" "I mean that y'all are going to be shocked when you see us, so be ready." "Ok, see you then!" The girls went up to Lily and Kelly's room. They got to work with their outfits. They did the shirts first. They cut the shape out of a cotton material, and Izzy, being the only one who knew how to sew, made the shirts. While she was sewing, they got the jean material. They cut that out too, and gave it to Izzy, who had finished with the shirt. They then duplicated the shirt three times to there was four, and charmed each one so they were a different color; Lily's was green, Kelly's was yellow, Chris's was pink, and Izzy's was blue. Then, while Izzy was sewing, Chris went and got into the shower. And while Kelly was in the shower, Lily duplicated and jeans and charmed them to bet the specific color that they wanted them. Izzy got into the shower, and then Lily went last. When she got out it was already 5:15. They rushed around doing their hair and makeup. Lily's hair was up in a high pony tail and had the appearance of being "tied" with her own hair; Kelly's hair was down and curled at the bottom; Chris's hair was crimped and down; Izzy's hair was half up with a clip. Their makeup was very simple. They had eye shadow on, and the color was their corresponding color (lily = green, kelly = yellow, chris = pink, izzy = blue). They had a lot of black eyeliner and mascara on, and only lip gloss with a charm so that it wouldn't come off on cups or **people** and it wouldn't wear off. Finally, at 6:00 they put on their outfits. They had on cropped shirts that ended right under their chest, and exposed their whole stomach. Their sleeves were tight on their upper arm, but flared out on their lower arm. Then, they had on ultra-low flair jeans and platform shoes. Their jewelry that the picked up just put the icing on the cake. Big silver hoops and a sliver choker with a color charm that matched their outfit. Also, Lily and Chris had sliver belly chains (do y'all know what I'm talking about? The chain belt looking things that go on your stomach? Anywho.) and Kelly had a fake silver belly button ring. Izzy opted for none of those things. The walked out of their dorm and into the common room. There were a few first years who didn't want to go and some seventh year who were about to head to the great hall. Some of the seventh year guys whistled, which caused the girls to blush and grin. They got to the Great Hall and exactly 6:20. They got in a horizontal line about 10 feet away from the doors, which were open, and started strutting. The whole hall went silent when they walked through the doors. The guys were staring at them, practically drooling, and the girls were shooting them dirty looks. Then the Marauders saw them, and their jaws dropped to the floor. The girls stopped, embarrassed at all the attention they were getting. Sirius, getting over the initial shock first, jumped up on stage and took the microphone from the stand. "And the first girl in the lineup tonight is Lily!" Lily looked at the other girls, and went along with Sirius's joke. "Lily is modeling tonight the green option in our new line American line." Lily walked down the open spot on the crowd, acting like the was modeling, but she was fighting a grin the whole time. She got to the end of the space, turned around and headed back. "Lils is a 6th Year Gryffindor and is at the top of her class. Sorry guys, she's taken." Everyone laughed at that. "Next in our line up is Kelly. She is in the yellow option tonight. She is also a 6th year Gryffindor, and, sadly, she is also taken." More laughs Kelly followed Lily's lead and did what she did. "The third option in our brand new line in the pink option. Modeling this tonight is Christina. Chris, also is a 6th year Gryffindor, and, although she's single, she's mine for the night." He said with a grin. Chris blushed, and the guys in the crowed booed. "And last in this fashion is Isabel. Izzy is modeling the blue option and doing a ravishing job I might add. She, for a change, is a 6th year Gryffindor, and she's SINGLE!!!" All of the guys cheered, the taken ones earning them dirty glares from their girlfriends. Lily, Kelly, Chris, and Izzy got back into their horizontal line and walked forward. "Let's hear it for our models this evening!" roared Sirius everyone laughed and clapped. They all went back to what they were doing before the girls walked in, and the band started playing again. The girls walked over to where the Marauders were standing, and started laughing so hard they could hardly stand up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey people!
