Chapter 3 : The Halloween Ball

Lilly sighed as she smoothed out a crease in her flowing black gown.
"Lilly," said Zammy exasperatedely, "I can't do your make up if you keep sighing and throwing you head around!"
"Sorry," mummbled Lilly. She wrinkled her nose as Zammy covered her face in an ivory foundation, and then when a few proffessional flicks she got up and said, "It's simple but effective,"
"Thanks Zam," said Lilly getting up and putting on an old pair of Zammy's kitten heel sandals. At that moment Clarity shut the door with a snap and bounded over to them.
"Oooh! You should see everyone!" she squealed clapping her hands together, "And Remus...He looks so good!"
"Are they down there already?" asked Lilly nervously.
"What? James, Sirius and Remus? Oh yeah, they are." said Clarity now applying lip gloss.
Oh no! Lilly thought. If James was there she would have to pass him, It would be so awkward! He would be with Bella and everything. But she couldn't brood on this Clarity grabbed her arm and said,
"Come on we better get going, we want to be first in the Hall," So the three of them swept out of the Dormitory, their black gowns sweeping behind them.
They found James, Sirius and Remus milling around in the Common Room all wearing blak as well. They had all decided to wear black to show they were The Ball Commitee.
"You look amazing," cooed Sirius softly to Zammy. Then right on cue Remus whispered,
"You look so beautiful Clarity,"
Lilly and James were left standing awkwardly together to look at the floor. But then James said somewhat bitterly,
"Where you meeting John then?"
"What? Oh I'm meeting him in the entrance hall," replied Lilly, "What about Emily?"
"Oh she should be here any minute." And as if they had planned it Emily swooped down the stairs behind them wearing a Lime Green dress stamped with sequins and rhinestones. James' eyes widened.
Lilly bit her lip to stop herself from laughing. Sirius gave a snort as Emily drifted over and pecked James on the cheek, leaving a hot pink lipstick mark.
"Theres no way your walking into the Great Hall like that James," said Lilly rubbing his face violently where the lipstick mark was. But Emily slapped her hand away. Lilly raised her eyebrows.
"So Jamie," said Emily sweetly leaning on James' side.
"His name is James." said Lilly shortly now scowling at Emily. Emily chose to ignore this and continued, "So James don't you like my dress?"
Sirius, Zammy, Remus and Clarity were all watching the scene now too. James ran his hand through his hair.
"Uh, yeah it's really nice Emily..." said James, but Lilly saw his fingers crossed behind his back.
"You know," said Lilly, frowning at Emily, "The invite said formal...not to dress like a citrus fruit in a blonde wig." The other howled with laughter, James' mouth twitched.
"God, Evans why don't you push off and find your own date." snarled Emily now putting her hands inside James' dress robes, "But I guess a girl like you couldn't find one...eh?" Lilly darted towards her but just then James had leapt away form Emily and put his arm round Lilly.
"Oh didn't I tell you Emily?" he said running his other hand through his hair, "I'm going with Lilly instead...Sorry I forgot to tell you."
Emily's lip trembled, Lilly laughed. "Hey cheer up, now you can save that lovely dress of yours for another occassion!" Emily stepped forwards and slapped Lilly hard around the face.
"OH MY GOD!!" screeched Lilly, making a grab for Emily but James held her tight around the waist and pulled her back.
"Who cares?" he whispered in her ear, "She's not worth it!"
"Oh no!" cried Zammy, "The Ball started ten minutes ago, LETS GO!" They all hurtled out of the empty common room (Emily had stomped off up to the dormitory) and down the stairs. Lilly and James holding each others hands tight, without noticing.
They brushed themselves down and entered the great hall expecting everyone to be silent and listening to dumbledore or something. But they were all sat around their tables talking loudly and happily, eating what looked like delicous food. They found a table in a corner of the great hall and sat down.
Lilly and James let go of each others hands, Lilly blushing furiously.
"Oh no," she said, looking around, "What am I going to about John?"
"Blow him off, he's a prat anyway." said James causually reading the menu.
"No James, that would be horrible!" said Lilly turning in her chair to surbey the hall. The light was so dim she could only make out shitllouettes of people huddled around tables.
"Oh, right." said James putting down his menu. "So I blow off my date for you...but when we get here you still want to be with john!"
"Oh come on James you didn't blow her off for-" began Lilly, turning back to the table and James. Remus, Sirius, Zammy and Clarity were all eating happily now not hearing the disscussion unfolding across the table.
"No Lilly your right!" said James, "I didn't blow her off for you...you blew her off for you! You know you were the one who started the fight, she'd still be here if it wasn't for you!"
"You sound like you want her to be here..." said Lilly scowling.
"Well her dress wsa quite tight...Ow! But she was so ugly!" said Sirius as Zammy hit him with her menu.
"Fine!" snapped Lilly getting up, "Enjoy your meal, I'm off to find John!" and she swept away across the hall.
As a loud fast song struck up across the hall and people began to mill onto the dance floor, James said,
"Great, now I have no date...and no back up date!"
"Oh come on!" said Remus taking a swig of pumpkin juice, "Like James Potter won't be able to find a girl to dance with him!"
"Remus is right mate!" said Sirius through a mouthful of potatoes, "You could get off with any girl here!"
"Couldn't get off with me!" said Zammy, grinning.
"Nor me," said Clarity grinning too. They all laughed, except James. He didn't care if could have any girl in the world...He only wanted Lilly Evans.
