Christmas Masquerade
The Christmas Masquerade was set for December 23rd. The masquerade was set to go from six to midnight.
Lily and Teri slipped into the girl's dorm, "Foxy, I cannot believe you are making me do this. There is no way I will be able to look *anyone* in the eye again."
"Don't worry Ter, everything will be fine. We just need them to help us with my hair."
"Then why do I need to come?" asked Teri.
"Because I need you for moral support, and to keep the Blondes at bay, I don't want to end up looking like some kind of Frankenstein."
"Fine, but you owe me big for this."
"Thanks Wings," Lily turned to the three girls in the dorm, "Erm, hi girls, I need some help."
All three heads turned towards her all showing looks of surprise.
"What do you need help with?" asked the one sitting in front of the vanity doing her make up.
"I, er, need help putting my hair up since I've never done it, Teri's never done it, and well, could you just help me please," said Lily.
"Of course we will, won't we girls," said the one in front of the vanity.
"Thanks."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Half an hour, and thirty seven 'ouch', 'oh, don't be a baby's later Lily's hair was up in a beautiful French twist held up by a single golden rose.
"Thank you SO much," said Lily, "I don't know how I'll ever repay you."
"Oh, don't worry about it," said Heather, she was the unspoken leader, "but, you could tell us who this is for."
"Er, actually, I don't know who he is," said Lily, "Thank you, I'll let you get back to your preparations."
"Bye, see you at the dance," the three blondes said as Lily and Teri left the room.
Teri helped Lily do her make up, and after Lily was dressed she sent Lily to go wait for the dance to start.
Lily was standing in a corridor near the Entrance Hall when she saw her Stag walk into the Great Hall, wearing a red rose like he promised, with three guys and a girl.
*He's here,* she thought excitedly, *I hope likes the way I did my hair.*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*I wonder where she is,* thought James as he stood by the doors.
Then, the doors burst open and in walked Lily, *Wow, everybody is staring at me. I hope I don't look hideous or anything.* All of a sudden a girl dressed in dark blue dashed up to her, "Lily, good you're here, the guy you're looking for is standing over there," the girl pointed to Stag.
"Wings is that you?"
"Of course it's me, who else could wear this shade of blue and come out looking like a goddess, not go and get your man."
Lily walked up the James and said, "Hello, long time no see."
"I've missed you," he responded, "I liked your hair better down," he said as he pulled the rose from her hair. "Let's go dance, and afterward I'm going to find out who you are."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Do you think James and Foxy are getting along well enough not to try and kill each other when we all de-mask?" asked Remus walking up to Sirius and Teri.
"I'm not sure, but I get the feeling that they won't be finding out who is who tonight," said Teri.
"How do you know that?" asked Sirius looking at her.
"I'm not completely sure, but I can guess that Foxy's going to run before midnight. She's afraid of getting hurt. . ." Teri shut her mouth, instantly realizing that she had said too much.
"What do you mean?" asked Remus with a puzzled expression.
"I can't tell you," said Teri, "I've already said too much, but I can tell you that when Foxy it ready she'll tell you."
"It's alright darling," said Sirius, he was oddly silent, as if something else was on his mind; and indeed there was.
*I wonder where Peter is. He never misses one of these things, he should be here, but I don't see him,* thought Sirius.
"Siri, is something wrong?" asked Teri "What is is, you look scared."
"Oh, nothing really, but I can't find Peter. He came with us, and now I can't find him. He should be here. I don't know why, but something is going to happen tonight. I can feel it."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was nearing ten o'clock. Lily and James were once again out on the balcony over looking the area near the forest.
"Stag?" asked Lily.
"Yes?"
"Do you see that shadow over in the forest?"
"No."
"Hmm, that's odd I could have sworn that there was something over there."
"It was probably nothing, come back inside, I hear our dance playing," said James referring to their first dance.
They walked inside blissfully unaware of the shadows that were moving towards the castle.
