Halloween Ball
Two weeks before Halloween Dumbledore stood up in the Great Hall and announced a Halloween Ball for 2nd years only. "I'm so excited Lily! We get dress robes and oh my gosh! We HAVE to find dates!" Selena said.
"I know and who are you going to ask, Sirius?" Lily said smirking.
"No! He's too wild. I'm asking Remus. I already know who your asking. James." Selena said slyly.
Lily blushed a bright red and nodded.
Then they both grinned and went up to the common room to plan. Then boys were looking kind of excited and joking around about who they were going to ask while Ami, and Maya were discussing very secret plans. For the boys they managed to figure out that Remus was going to ask Selena, James: Lily, Sirius: well they just couldn't figure out him. Then Nick apparently was way to easy for he was going to ask Maya.
Peter, well he didn't have anybody.
Now as the two girls talked you could tell one was excited and was going to ask Sirius. That one was Ami. The other one though, well she wasn't sure if she would ask or not. That was Maya.

Up in the common room if you walked in you'd see a big list of things for the ball. Lily and Selena were going to Hogsmade the next day (Saturday).The next day Remus came down to the common room looking paler than ever. Selena was the only other one down there and she too looked pale. "Hello, Remus . Why are you up so early?" Selena asked. Remus hesitated but then looked determined.
"I was going to ask you if you would go to the ball with me?" He said bravely. Selena looked surprised and then blushed.
"Sure I would love to go with you. I was going to ask you anyway." She said. Remus raised his eyebrows but then he just smiled and sat down next to her and they started to talk.

It was now 2 hours to the ball and everybody had asked who they were going to and everybody had excepted. Sirius still hadn't told them whom he had asked and Ami wouldn't tell either. Everybody was excited and were all getting really in their rooms. "Is my hair ok?" Selena and Ami kept asking Lily.
"Its fine. Don't worry. Now come on! Lets go down and meet them." Lily said impatiently. They all hurried down stairs but had to wait 20 minutes before the boys were ready. First Sirius came down and his jaw dropped for he was looking at Ami who had on bright blue dress robes and her straight black hair was in curls and her brown eyes were bright with beauty. She had on transparent blue shoes and looked very pretty. Sirius and Remus were wearing brown dress robes while James and Nick wore black. Then came down Selena. Now it was Remus' s turn.
Selena had on silver dress robes with lace that glittered and had silvery-laced shoes. Her long light brown hair was tied with a silver ribbon and her bright silver eyes shown with happiness. Then came James and his jaw dropped too. Lily was in bright green dress robes to match her eyes and her red hair which used to be curled was straight and had light blonde highlights in them and she had black shoes. Her she had on blush and her eyes wee sparkling. Last came Nick (about ten minutes later) and since Maya hadn't told him what she was going to look like, when she turned around Nick looked stunned.
