Authors note: Yes, I told you I was going to work on it really good. I have the two last chapters done, just don't know when I should end it. Please review and tell me if it should end at chapter 10, or chapter 20, or somewhere in the middle. Sorry for grammar mistakes.

"Lily I need to talk to you, in private." James said the same exact second he turned the corner.

Lily pulled away from Remus, and glanced over at James.

"And what do you want?" Lily walked outside of the three broom sticks with him.

The ground was covered with a good foot or two of snow. They shuffled through it, until they were far out of ear shot.

"Lily, I know your just using Remus. He's a bit timid, sure. But whether or not, he's one of my best friends. Lilz he's starting to believe you actually like him." James dribbled on past that, but Lily stopped listening right there. Remus likes her? She couldn't have forgotten that in a way, she was using him just to get James. And then when James was pleading with her, she ignored him, and tried to make him jealous. That just wasn't right.

"Ummmmmmmm....... your point is." Lily tried not to sound very guilty.

At that point she didn't want anything to do with James, and to be good friends like before with Remus.

"Lily will you go with the ball with me. We can talk about that stupid(sure he uses the word stupid now, but he didn't think that before when it happened' Lily thought)fight. Then maybe Remus can meet someone who he can really like." James was making her sound like a slut or something, but there was pleading in his voice.

Lily had the thought that he really did want to be her boyfriend again. Come to think of it, he already said sorry so many times, and really meant it.

"Umm.. Yeah, sure James. I better go tell Maya now before she beefs it with Sirius or something." Lily flashed him her award winning smile, then took off back to the awaiting trio.

James took her hand in his, and together they walked back.

"Hey fire head (hiccup) You ready (hiccup) for tonight. We could (hiccup) give you a (hiccup) make-over (hiccup) and do your (hiccup) hair."

Maya was no doubt drunk, or very well close to it.

She was swinging back and forth when Lily sat next to her. The boys stacked on the other side of the table. "Ouch MAYA! That's attached to my head you know!" Lily broke free from Maya, who was either trying different hairstyles on her, or finding out a way to rip out her hair. Lily gave a pleading 'Help-me-this-womens-mad!' look, which made the boys burst out laughing.

For awhile after that it was silent(other then Mayas hiccups). Lily was just enjoying the taste of her butter beer listening to the tables around her bicker. For once in her life she forgot about her problems, and just brushed them away. "Come now (hiccup) fire head (hiccup) Lily, you should (hiccup) help me pick out a (hiccup) nice outfit for (hiccup) the ball." Maya whispered, and winked at Lily.

She happily nodded, and left the store with Maya. While Maya was complaining why she never looked good in green, Lily was trying on a few things. A fiery red dress that went down to her knees, and was strapless. Then she decided it made her hair look out, and tried on baby blue, green, purple, and finally picked out a black one. The dress was black, and strapless. It went down to above her knees like an attached skirt. It was somewhat tight, and had matching boots that went up to the knees. It had a large ribbon to tie in your hair, and let drape down your shoulders, and black gloves to the elbow.

After Lily, and Maya (who just got rid of the hiccups) crammed all there shopping stuff, which consisted of make-up, hair gel, sparkles, dresses and etc, they headed back toward Hogwarts.

On the way Lily felt the need to tell some one what really happened between Lily, and Remus. Maya was the only one around so she made her useful.

By the time they had already gotten ready Lily just finished the story. Or the edited explaination. Maya shook her head disapprovingly. "Fire head, fire head fire head, you scare me sometimes. Anyway, our dates are waiting for us, they probably think we died up here. Or then again maybe something is still trying to kill us." Maya let out a laugh, the left down the steps.

Lily only heard some gasps, and murmuring. What a big appearance don't you think?

"I think I got everything. OK here goes nothing." Lily put her shoes on then took two steps down the stairs.

"Don't look at them, and it won't hurt." Lily tried not to laugh, or do something stupid for that matter while everyone stared at her walking down.

She went over to James who was by the fire.

"L-L-Lil you look great!" James managed to say. Lily just blushed a deep color of red.

"Shall we go." Sirius asked who all the sudden appeared behind them.

"Padfoot, who's your date?" James steered Sirius away while they came down the halls.

The Great Hall looked its best that it ever had in years. Its enchanted ceiling was off the ocean looking up toward the air. That pretty much was the theme. The walls reflected blue. Around each corner there were sparkling blue fountains that extended a good 3 feet. Below on the floor, it made it seem as the ocean was under you too. Lily was memorized by the sight. She was beginning to wonder we she didn't take the baby blue dress, but then again, she never could of expected this.

"May I have this dance?" James politely extended his arm, which Lily gladly excepted.

Out on the dance floor Lily caught a sight of Remus, dancing with a blonde bombshell. He looked like he was extremely enjoying himself. There was something with that that made Lily smile, but then kick it out of herself. James, and her danced a few slow dances, then only one fast.

"Hey James, I'm going to get some fresh air, do'ya wanna come?" Lily asked, James followed her outside.

"Lily I-" James was cut off by a loud explosion that came from the Great Hall. There was screaming, and the door burst open. All the girls were kicking off their high heels and running, the guys followed in pursuit.

Authors note: ZzZzZzZ Sorry, I'm falling asleep again. I should have the next one done really soon. I have the two last chapters done, just haven't decided where to end it yet. Anyway, thank you to all the reviewers, I'll do my little replies tomorrow ~.~
