Chapter 15: Reactions, The Ball and Sirius' and Remus' Apology!
Everyone turned to see who was late. It was Gwen, Bella and-LILY?
"Just walk to you seat, ignore the stares." Gwen lightly pushed Lily to her seat.
"This feels so weird, everyone looking at me! I have to do something." Before they could stop her she stood on top of her chair.
"Hello, my fellow Hogwartians, I, Lily Evans am proud to announce I have changed. I here by promise to dress to kill and act like my true, fun loving self." With that she sat down and began to eat her breakfast. At the same time, flirting with Greg Peterson, a cute 6th year. He was shocked.
"You really look beautiful Lily, James must be beating himself up, loosing you." He smiled enchanted by this beautiful creature next to him.
"Well, his lose. But you should know I'm free anytime." She winked and walked to Charms, followed by Gwen and Bella.
"Please tell me that was not just Lily Evans, and I thought she was shy!" Sirius muttered to a dumbstruck James.
Lily was suprised to find how easy it was to let loose. The old her just came out naturally and she found herself catching quite a few guys' eyes. It was time to think about the ball. Greg asked her to the ball and said yes, he was cute and nice. They had decided to go as a girl band. Sirius and Remus were finishing the final touches on there suprise.
The night of the Ball was hectic. The girls were putting the final touched on their costumes. Each girl was wearing a sparkly white shirt that said her name in rhinestones. Lily was wearing tight green bell-bottoms. Gwen was wearing tight purple bell-bottoms. Bella was wearing tight pink ones. Lily had her hair straight and two rhinestone clips kept it in place. Gwen's hair was also straight and down and the bottom had purple highlights. Bella's hair was up in a ponytail and curly.
The marauders were going as the three musketeers (peter was sick).
"Lets go, Greg is waiting for me downstairs." Lily rushed the others. Gwen and Bella were going alone, hoping Sirius and Remus would apologize.
Greg did indeed meet Lily downstairs. Everyone walked to the Great Hall. It looked fantastic. Live bats flew above. There was giant jack-o-lanterns were in every corner. There was a DJ playing music.
"Wanna dance?" Greg asked.
Lily glanced at Gwen and Bella who nodded before heading to the dance floor with Greg. James watched jealously as the two danced and had a great time. His own date had walked off with another guy after seeing he wasn't going to dance.
Lily and her friends wanted to sing a song for the audience as they were supposed to be a girl band, they magically built a stage and conjured microphones (magical ones)
Lily: When you looked at my face
You thought you could get me
You better look twice
It won't be that easy
Think it's because
You're a little older
Gwen: All you'll get from me
Is my cold shoulder You shouldn't judge
Someone by what you see
You may be wrong
Like you were about me
All:
I'm not too young
To know
The right things to do
And one of those things
Is not to fall for you
Don't play
Did ya hear me say?
I'm not gonna fall for you
So please just go away
Bella: Didn't work out
The way that you planned
Bragged to your friends
Said you were the man
Now whatcha gonna do?
Since your pride is gone
Lily: Couldn't get this little girl
Now you're crying all alone Too bad you judged me
By first sight
It's too late now
So kiss this chance goodnight
All:
I'm not too young
To know
The right things to do
And one of those things
Is not to fall for you
Don't play
Did ya hear me say?
I'm not gonna fall for you
So please just go away
I'm not too young
To know
The right things to do
And one of those things
Is not to fall for you
Don't play
Did ya hear me say?
I'm not gonna fall for you

Gwen: You say you want me
When you don't really know who I am
I don't wanna play no games
So catch me if you can Didn't work out

They left the stage as everyone clapped. Then Dumbledore announced another performance.........
Sirius and Remus come on, they changed into jeans and white shirts.
"We want to dedicate this song to Gwen and Bella" Music started and Sirius started singing.
Sirius: Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
Both:
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
Remus:
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
Both:
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life"
They stepped off the stage with a mix of applause and awwws.
Gwen and Bella ran to them and kissed them.
" We forgive you" they aid simultaneously throw tears.
With that the ball ended and everyone went back to the dorms to discuss what had happened.
