Chapter Nine: The Halloween Ball (such a used title!)
A few days after the kiss with William Dumbledore announced the date for the Halloween Ball - a week from today.
Everybody were excited, Lily and William were going together, Emily was going with that fifth year Ravenclaw - Brian Chang, Anne was going with a sweet Hufflepuff called Tomas Macmillan and Kathleen decided to go alone - that way she would be able to dance with as many people as she wanted and not be with only one person all night.
The only problem with the ball was that Lily had to open it with Potter. They needed to practice almost every night and neither enjoyed it.
James wasn't in the best mood. He and the other Marauders didn't really had ideas for pranks on the Slytherins, it became really hard to tease and annoy Evans and Quidditch practices were getting harder and harder.
Of course he already had a date to the ball - Gracie Lu Freebush - a stupid Hufflepuff that had a reputation as a good kisser. (A/N I just love Miss Congeniality!)
Remus wasn't going (full moon) and Sirius and Peter both went stag. Sirius from choice and Peter- Not! (A/N My revenge to the rat!)
The day before the ball came and everybody was going to Hogsmead to buy dress robs. Lily, Kathleen, Anne and Emily spent hours trying dresses and enjoying every second. They acted like models in fashion shows and often burst out laughing. Peter, James, Sirius tried dress robes and Remus helped them. The fact that he couldn't be there hurt him very much, yet, he couldn't do a thing about it.
And the day of the ball came. The girls started organizing 4 hours before the ball started. They helped each other and gave each other advices.
Lily wore a strapless pale green dress and she used Sleekkeazy's Hair potion to straight it.
(A/N I'm too tired explaining what everybody are wearing so let's just say they all look good!)
The boys started organizing an hour before the ball. James spent most of it trying to smooth his hair - no luck. Ten minutes before the ball the boys came down to the great hall.
The great hall looked magnificent. Pumpkins were hanging from the walls minus the bats and the house tables were gone leaving room for small tables up to six students per table.
Sirius, of course, started to flirt with every girl who didn't had a date, Peter went to the direction of the food and James met Gracie Lu.
Gracie Lu was wearing a frilly pale pink dress and her blond hair was curled. (A/N What did you expect her to be?)
The girls went in seconds before the ball started.
Lily started looking for William but before she could find him Dumbledore got up and started speaking: "Will the dance partners please open the ball!"
Lily groaned. She really hoped Potter wasn't going to destroy her ball.
James groaned. Evans wasn't fun annoying since the stupid knight came.
Lily made her way to the middle of the stage and waited for Potter.
James searched the ball for Evans but didn't see her. He looked around for girls that weren't with somebody - Evans must be one of them. He saw a beautiful unknown redhead girl in the middle of the stage, a dark haired girl in the side and a blond. Where was Evans?
Suddenly he looked again at the beautiful redhead. He looked closer and to his great amazement recognized her as Evans.
"No way!" he murmured and made his way towards her.
Lily saw a hot black haired boy coming near her.
"Oh god!" she murmured.
It was Potter!
He reached her and took her hand.
"Potter."
"Evans."
The music started playing and they started dancing. Again both got carried away with the dance.
Albus Dumbledore watched the two teenagers with great satisfaction.
Minerva MaGonagall saw that satisfaction and couldn't resist.
"May I ask what is so satisfying Albus?" She asked.
Albus pointed at the direction of Lily and James. "I won't b e surprised if they end up marring each other."
"But Albus, they hate each other!"
"Ah Minerva, things are not always what they seem to be."
Professor McGonagal didn't really understood but decided it would be better to be quiet.
Lily meanwhile was enjoying every second of the dance.
*God, it's exactly like those fairy tails.*
*Except that Potter is prince charming*
*No, No, No William is. It's just so happens that Potter dances well and he is my partner now.*
*But what about the kiss?*
*There was no kiss!*
*But there almost was!*
*Temporary insanity, ok?*
Lily tried to get those voices out of her head. They were driving her mad!
When the song came to the end they broke apart but still stood in front of each other.
For a few seconds there was silence until Potter said: "There comes your prince charming."
Lily looked at the direction he pointed and saw William coming towards her.
"Jealous Potter?" she asked.
"In your dreams!"
"Most likely in my nightmares."
She smiled and went quickly to Williams.
James sighed. Evans was no fun.
He went to find Gracie Lu and then danced with her.
They danced a couple of dances but James felt so weird.
*Why do I feel weird?*
*She's so different then Evans.*
*Well of course she is! You don't want Evans do you?*
*Of course not! I'm I mad?*
James looked at Gracie Lu and she started giggling like mad.
*Well she's not very intellect, so what?*
James ignored the voices in his head and kept dancing with Gracie Lu.
Lily, meanwhile, was enjoying every second.
She checked what her friends were doing once in a while.
Emily and Brain left the ball early to have some 'privacy ', Lily decided she will hear the details later, Anne was still dancing with Tomas and Kathleen was constantly changing partners, once Lily even saw her with that Black!
*What if they got together?*
*I mean I'm happy for Kathleen but he is Potter's best friend!*
*What does she find in him?*
*Every person that is Potter's friend is most likely like him! That's not good!*
*And even worse, I'll have to start getting close to them! To Potter! Oh, god!*
*But it's just one dance for now! Nothing happened yet!*
*I'm starting to panic to soon!*
So Lily, again, tried to ignore the voices and kept dancing with William.
After the last song ended Lily and William broke apart. Many students have already left but some were still dancing or sitting near the table.
Lily saw Kathleen sitting next to Black in a small table.
Kathleen waved at Lily and singled her to sit with them, Lily sighed but came with William anyway.
The second she sat down somebody else sat in the table - Potter and his 'flavor of the week' (A/N great song, by the way.)
Lily groaned and wanted to get up but Kathleen stopped her.
"Behave!" she greeted under her teeth.
Lily sat again and saw Potter looking smug then ever. He seemed to enjoy the affect he had on her. So Lily decided to have a bit 'fun'.
"So Gracie Lu, what's your best subject?" she asked in fake sweet voice.
"Oh, I like, don't have one!" Gracie Lu giggled.
"Really?"
"Yeah, cause I'm like the best in all the subjects!"
"A real A's student aren't you?" Lily said sarcasticly.
"Oh no! It's under my level to get A's!" She said, apparently shocked, "I'm getting only C's!" she said proudly.
Lily was pretty shocked herself, that Gracie Lu was more stupid then she thought! So she decided to have more 'fun'.
"Gracie Lu, can I like, ask you like something?" she said imitating the Hufflepuff.
"Sure you can Lily!"
"I'm like thinking about it for like such a long time and like can't figure it out: what's the most important thing the muggle and magical society needs?"
While Gracie Lu was thinking about it Lily said quietly to Kathleen and Black: "World peace." They looked at her puzzled but she just pointed at Gracie Lu.
"Well, that's like totally easy! World peace!!!"
Kathleen and Black both snickered and Lily was satisfied.
"Well it's been lovely chatting with you and all but I'm tired, can you please escort me to the Gryffindor entrance William?"
Lily and William got up and said goodbye to everyone.
Just when they were about to leave Lily said: "Oh Potter, I think you finally met your match!"
"Did you hear that Jamesie? She thinks I'm your match! Isn't it totally awesome?" Gracie Lu started giggling like mad.
Potter got upset and Lily and William left.
Once they were out of earshot Lily started cracking up.
"That was so funny, don't you think?" she asked William.
"What was?" he asked.
"That thing with Gracie Lu!"
"Oh." William didn't really seem to understand. Lily thought it was weird but ignored it.
They arrived at the portrait of the fat lady and shared another kiss.
"Bye."
"Bye."
Lily went to bed.
"I made Potter feel horrible and William and I kissed - That was the best ball ever!" she murmured satisfied and fell asleep.
A/N The end of another chapter. You know I noticed a couple of interesting thing in the HP books:
1. Sirius said in the third that somebody started giving Voldemort information about the Potter's a year before they died, Harry was one year old when the Potter's died - this means that maybe Voldemort heard that Harry would be a threat the him and wanted to kill him or something and didn't kill Harry just because he was used to or something like Hagrid said.
2. Peter transforms to a rat. Now rat is the animal but it is also a traitor! Double meaning!!!
3. This doesn't really have to do a lot with the books but anyway- I'm starting to see people named James everywhere. I know it's a really common name and all but still - there's James Potter, James Hook, James from Sliding Doors (watched it last night - great movie) and more and more. It's really starting to haunt me! One time I was really bored and opened the TV guide for that week and every day there was at least on movie with a lead actor called James. I think I'm going mad!
Well I hoped you enjoyed and if you did please review! I really love Miss Congeniality and I thought it was kind of funny with Gracie Lu Freebush and world peace.
