****The Night of the Ball****
We're going to skip some time because it's irreverent and takes up a lot of my time, which I don't have. Amber and Lily were still in their rooms trying on dresses. Lily had finally decided on a green and red dress to match her hair and eyes. It was sleeveless and had a keyhole on the side. Amber decided to wear a tan dress to match her light brownish hair. The dress was floor length and also sleeveless. But her keyhole was in the back and there was a temporary tattoo of a rose on her back, which Lily skillful drew. Gillian, on the other hand choose a short little black dress that was low cut in the front and in the back. Leaving nothing to the imagination. The boys were dressed in their finest robes of black.
Remus stood by the fireplace waiting for Amber. He had a rose in his hand and was nervously looking at his watch. A hand touched his shoulder. "Don't worry," James said, "It's not like she can disappear or anything." "But what if she changes her mind, or decides she doesn't want to dance with me?" "I'd never do that," Amber said, walking down the stairs with a large grin. Remus let out a silent sigh and handed her the rose. Sirius rolled his eyes, but yet he couldn't take his eyes off of Amber. She'd never gotten this dressed up for him. Maybe, maybe she really does like him. Sirius trashed the thought and looked back into the fire. Trying to keep his mind away from Amber and Remus.
A few minutes later, Lily appeared. Smiling, James took her by the hand and led her out of the common room. "Do you want us to wait with you for Gillian?" Amber asked? "No, she'll be out in a few minutes." Amber gave Sirius a worried look. He hadn't been the same for the past few weeks. He'd been short and cold with her. She'd have a chat with him tomorrow about it.
Sirius watched the two couples leave arm and arm. Twenty minutes later, Gillian appeared. Her seductive smile melted Sirius's frown. Sirius stood up and kissed Gillian's hand. "You look," he paused, "amazing!" "You don't look to shabby yourself Black." The couple smiled as they left, leaving Peter hiding in the shadows, jealous.
The music was playing loud, but most of the couples were sitting down, looking at each other. "Seems like the kids don't know how to dance," Professor Dumbledore said to Professor Weasley. "Ah, I remember when Molly and I went to our first ball. We were so nervous! But then, one of the teachers got up and dance, quite funny to see them trying to do the twist. All of a sudden, Dumbledore stood up and faced Professor McGonagall. "Would you like to dance?" He said with sly grin and a twinkle in his eyes. "Albus," she started, "you've got to be kidding." "I most certainly am not! And I do believe you could shake a leg back in your day." "Yes," she replied, "back in the day. I would never get any respect from the students if they knew I danced." Dumbledore laughed, "they'd respect you more if they knew you were a human."
Professor McGonagall grinned and took Dumbledore's hand. Much to the surprise of the students, and the rest of the teachers.
"Look at Dumbledore and McGonagall!" Remus said to Amber, laughing. "I didn't know McGonagall could dance," James said to Lily. Before you knew it, all the couples where up and dancing. During a slow song, Gillian whispered in Sirius' ear, "Why don't we 86 this and go and have a little private ball." Sirius, looking towards Amber and Remus, saw that they were having the time of their lives. James and Lily were in the middle of the floor leading some other kids in a "new dance". "Sure," he finally said, sighing. "Why the hell not."
Amber saw Gillian whisper to Sirius and figured out what she had said when she saw the two of them walking out of the Great Hall. She sighed and laid her head on Remus' shoulder. Why did she care where Sirius was going? Hadn't he done this a million times before with other girls? So why did she care about this girl?? She paused and thought of any answer but the truth…She didn't want Sirius messing around with a girl like Gillian.
Sirius and Gillian went back into an empty common room, or so they thought. They went upstairs into the boy's dormitory where Sirius led Gillian towards his bed. "So, this is where you make Magic, huh?" Gillian said, laughing. Sirius also gave a nervous laugh. "Yeah, real magic. Something you can't teach." Gillian, unzipping the back of her dress, "Only learn."
Peter lay in his bed under James' cloak, laughing. This was better than any stupid ball. He was finally going to play a trick on somebody without any of the Marauder's help. All he had to do now was wait until Sirius and Gillian finished, and from what he's heard, it might be a long wait.
Back at the dancer, Lily, James, Remus and Amber were sitting down at one of the tables talking and having fun. But Amber's mind was still on Sirius and what he was doing. Drinking some butter beer, Lily asked, "Where's Sirius?" "Oh, he and Gillian went back to the common room." "How do you know James?" Lily asked. "He gave me the look." Lily and Amber looked at each other and burst out into laughter. Remus rolled his eyes and stopped. "Has anybody seen Peter?" "Nope." James replied. "Said he didn't want to be bothered. I think he just couldn't get a date." Lily elbowed James in the chest. "Don't say that! Peter is suppose to be your friend." "He is my friend," James said, rubbing his chest, "but let's face it, Peter is a stick in the mud." "Clay," Remus said, but stopped smiling when Amber looked at him.
An hour later, Gillian and Sirius were un…still "learning". Peter had dozed off a couple of times, only to be awaken by Gillian's moans and yells. Finally bored, Peter arose from James' cloak and pulled out a camera. Pulling out his wand and mumbling some words, the camera silently took pictures of the lovers. But he wasn't finished yet! He took out a piece of paper and said some more words. A few minutes later, Sirius and Gillian magically rose out of bed glued together! {they had on clothes}
"Peter! Unglue us and let put us down!" Sirius yelled. Peter smiled and shook his head. "Nope. The fun isn't over yet" Levitating the couple downstairs and into the Great Hall, which I might add, was still full with students and teachers. Professor Dumbledore spit out his butter beer at the sight. "Mr. Black, can you please explain your-self." Dumbledore tried to ask without laughing. "Ask that stupid git Peter Pettigrew." Gillian cried, completely embarrassed. "Mr. Pettigrew," Professor McGonagall asked, "are you responsible for this." The Great Hall was in silence to hear his answer. "Yes." "Where you alone in this prank?" Peter madly grinned, "Yes." "Think about your answer Peter. Are you sure you did this all by your self. Nobody helped you?" Peter's grin faded. "This was all my idea! You know I don't need James or Remus or Sirius to do everything for me. I do have a working brain. I am not a squib."
"Ok Peter, we believe you. Bad boy." Dumbledore said, laughing. "Now put Sirius and Gillian down." "But what about un-gluing them?" Peter asked. "We'll get to that a little later." He said. "And follow me. Students," he began, "I think it is time for bed. Thank you all for coming and have a good night."
James, Lily, Remus, and Amber walked back to the common room in awe to what Peter had just done. And also stunned at how calm Dumbledore was. "I didn't know Peter had it in him," James said, putting his arm around Lily. "Neither did I." Remus replied. Following James' actions and putting his arm around Amber's waist. Making Sirius mad. "How did he do it?" Lily asked Sirius. "Hell if I know. It's almost like he…Gillian, can you please not step on my foot! Anyway, he just appeared from nowhere and start reading something from a paper."
"But how come you didn't see him in the bed when you can in?" Amber asked. Only wondering how long Peter let them "do it" before he stopped them. "Um, sorry to bother you Nancy Drew," Gillian yelled, "but when is someone going to unglue us. I mean I like you a lot Sirius, but this is too much."
