Gwen spent most of her time before the ball fixing up Lily's hair. She was using several bobby
pins to try and get it to set right. "One question," said Gwen, trying to make conversation.
"Okay," replied Lily.
"What exactly is so charming about my brother? I've known him for nine years and I'm still
trying to figure what girls see in him," she said.
Lily smiled and tried not to move her head so she wouldn't get poked. "He's just so sweet, and I
just can't help but trusting him."
"Just promise me... when he goes and breaks your heart, don't come running to me to cry your
eyes out 'cause I'm just going to say that I tried to tell you beforehand," Gwen said and put in
the final pin. "There! Now you look just lovely Miss Lily. Go and have fun."
"Aren't you coming?" asked Lily in surprise.
"I didn't think I would. I mean, why really bother?" Gwen said, closing her hair case.
"'Cause! Remus is going to be there," Lily replied in a teasing tone.
Gwen turned slightly pink. "If that's the only Reason you have, then I might as well go to
bed."
"Alright. Come for me, so I'll have someone to talk too when James goes and gets himself in
trouble for something." Gwen smiled.
"Fine... Give me a minute to get my dress robes on."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A half an hour later (You know girls... first it's the dress robe, then the hair and make up.
And that was only Lily), the two virtuous girls were walking down the stairs, laughing and
chattering away. Remus looked up as the two entered the Common Room. "You both going to the
dance?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah. Lily's making me go. Why don't you come along? That way, if Lily leaves me to go snog
with her boyfriend, I'll have someone to talk to atleast," replied Gwen. "She's FORCING me!"
Remus laughed. Lily was turning red. "Okay okay... I'll go, just wait for a minute," he said and
ran up the boy's stairs.
"You like him," Lily decided once Remus left.
"And where do you come up with that?" Gwen asked.
"I can't just tell these things, Gwen. It's all in your eyes and tone of voice," replied Lily
like she had just done a complicated potion.
"If I were to accidentally push you out the window, do you know how long it would take
anyone to notice?" said Gwen with a cynical tone. "When there was a strange smell coming from
the bushes..."
Lily appeared undaunted. She had gotten death threats from Gwen plenty of times before this and
one more fruitless threat was nothing to her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Great Hall was only lit with half as many candles as usual and the several fairies glowed
and flew around the room. The moon also shone softly from the ceiling so the Great Hall was lit
enough for everyone to see fine. The bats, however, seemed to like to swoop down on unexpecting
couples.
Lucius and Severus were both at the ball with their girlfriends, Narcissa and Sunny. They were
all looking like they were about to kill someone. Death threats from Severus and Lucius were to
be taken seriously.
James looked over, disgusted, at the Slytherins. "Bloody things. Why can they just stay at their
cage down in the dungeon," he said, wrapping one arm around Lily. Gwen smiled. For once her
brother was acting normal. Or at least as normal as James ever got.
"Just don't do anything stupid James. We don't want you to be stuck in the hospital wing
tomorrow or in detention," said Lily.
"No we wouldn't..." mocked Gwen with a grin. She love teasing Lily, but the Lily always found a
way to tease her back.
"You either Gwen. Don't lose us any points by getting caught when you run off to snog with
Remus," replied Lily with an equally annoying grin. Remus was bright red as an apple. Gwen's
grin just slowly turned into a smile.
"Okay... so maybe I deserved that one." She looked at James and Lily. They did make an awesome
couple, and she knew if anything happened, she'd have to consul Lily and give James a black eye.
She slight smiled at the thought. "Why don't you two both go dance! I'm not in need of any
babysitters," said Gwen and shooed them off.
"So, what happened between you and Sirius?" asked Remus, slightly curious.
"I don't really know. Just one day he told me that it was over and two days latter he was off
with some slutty Hufflepuff. I wish the Whomping Willow would just put him in the hospital for a
few months," replied Gwen and summoned a glass of pumpkin juice with her wand. "He's just a jerk
and I hope he burns in..."
"Guinivere!" exclaimed Remus.
"What? I was gonna say eternal loneliness."
