"Good morning students," Dumbledore said, his voice magnified throughout the Great Hall. "I just have one announcement today..."
"I, of course, know what it is," a smug voice said from the direction of the Slytherin table. Lily figured it was Malfoy.
"I'm glad you do, Lucius," Dumbledore said smiling which caused Malfoy to blush, "but I will announce it anyway. On Halloween, we will be having a ball. And in that being in a week, I suggest you all find yourselves a partner. Soon. Enjoy breakfast!"
The Hall was instantly filled with chatter. "But what will I wear?" was heard along with "I'm sure he'll ask me to go with him." Lily sat silent, thinking, Who would ask me? Just then, she was tapped on the shoulder. She turned around and gaped.
"Hey, Lily," said Brad Ackerley, a Ravenclaw Quidditch captain and one of the most sought after boys at the school, along with James, Sirius, and a few other boys.
"Uhhh ... hi," Lily said hesitantly.
"So, I was wondering if you'd like to go as my date to the Halloween Ball," Brad said, eyes pleading.
Lily's jaw drop. Why is this absolutely hot, popular boy asking me to be his date? she thought, shocked.
"I..I'd love too," Lily stammered.
"Great, I'll see you then," he said, giving her a small wave and heading back to his table.
Lily turned to look friends. Sirius looked happy for her, Remus had a small smile, and James was glaring murderously at his plate.
"I wonder why he asked me?" Lily said wonderingly.
"Why wouldn't he?" asked Sirius, "Look around. Half the guys here look upset after they heard you say yes to him."
Lily shook her head disbelievingly and slowly finished her breakfast.
***
James watched Lily leave the Great Hall. He was planning on asking her to the ball, but the airhead Brad beat him to it. How could she say yes? She didn't even know the guy.
Proves she doesn't like you, James thought, No more than a friend.
"James!" a perky voice said, coming behind him.
James saw a blond, short Hufflepuff leaning against the back of his chair.
"So, you like wanna go the ball together?"
"Ummm ... sure," James said dully.
"Great!" the girl said, bursting with energy. She turned to leave. "And oh, by the way, my name is Jennie. Then she skipped out of the hall.
James turned and saw Sirius looking at the retreating girl skeptically and Remus looking at James, his forehead creased.
"You're going with HER?" Sirius asked.
"Sure, why not?"
"Well,...." started Remus.
"Forget it," said James, "I gotta go get my Herbology books. See you later."

Lily didn't here anything Professor Bloom was saying. She couldn't focus on dumb ol' plants when she was just asked out by THE Brad.
All day girls had been glaring at her and looking at her enviously. Lily didn't care. She not only had a date to the dance, she was going with Brad.
She sighed dreamily.
"I hope I'm not interrupting your daydreaming, Lily," said Professor Bloom's, breaking up her thoughts, "But, I'd like you to peel this Roakinder."
"Oh, yes, Professor," said Lily, quickly. She was about to start to peel it, when she felt eyes on her. She turned and saw James staring at her strangely.
"What?" Lily mouthed.
James shrugged and Lily returned to her work.

It was the night of the dance. Lily just finished doing her hair. The other girls in her dorm were finishing up too.
Lily had on a pale green dress with spaghetti straps. It flowed down to her feet, which sported white heels. Her hair was piled on top of her head, with a few curly tendrils loose. She had on a little makeup.
She looked at the clock. 6:58. Time to go. She gracefully walked down the staircase and observed who was going with who. She saw Sirius who was staring at Maddie, his date, who was a sixth year Gryffindor who dormed with Lily. Remus was going with Kate, another sixth year Gryffindor, who seemed to be good friends with Maddie. Her eyes fell on James. He was staring at her, eyes wide, shaking his head. She smiled and walked up to him.
"Who are you going with?" Lily asked.
"Er...Jennie."
"Jennie who?" Lily questioned.
"Umm... I don't know. She's in uhhh... Hufflepuff."
Lily felt a stab of jealously even though she didn't know the girl. She ignored it.
"That's great," Lily said uncertainly.
"Yea."
Lily turned to leave.
"Lily?"
Lily turned around and looked questionably at James. "Yea?"
"Could you save a dance for me?"
"Of course, James! What are best friends for?"
James muttered something and looked at Lily again. "Great. Have fun," he said politely.
"Yea....you have fun too," Lily replied
"I will."
"Me too."
"So see you when we dance."
"Yup, see you then."
"Don't forget."
"Oh, I won't."
"Okay. Bye then."
"Bye."
And Lily walked out of the portrait hole to search for Brad.
A/N Short, short, short. I know. I'll write another one soon. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!
