Chapter 10: The Ball Part I

Lily just collapsed in the corner, breathing heavily, as the two midgets toddled over to where the stunned body was lying. They noticed that the attacker was quite tall, about the size of Sirius.

Could it be? Becky thought, but quickly dismissed the thought. Kim had pulled back the hood, rather roughly and when she saw who it was she gasped, it was.REMUS! Kim immediately dropped the hood back over his face, and stared at Becky. Becky put her hand over her mouth, no Remus wouldn't do something like that, would he?

"REMUS?" Kim screamed, "REMUS? IT CAN'T BE REMUS?" Lily just sat on the floor, sniffling and nodding her head. Remus didn't look quite normal though, his usually tanned face was ashen white and his sandy hair wasn't so dark. But, it was dark outside, and he was wearing a hood, so you could never be sure.

"REMUS?" Kim just numbly shouted again, before lowering her volume, "No it just can't be, not Remus."

Remus was lying unconscious on the stone floor, apparently when he was hexed he fell back and hit his head.

A/N: AHAHAHAHAAH! IT'S REMUS! WHOEVER THOUGHT THAT REMUS? HMMMM..MAYBE IT'S NOT? HMMMMMM? PERHAPS IT'S NOT..HAHA Sorry, I just had to say that.

"Remus, why?" Kim asked softly, and she gently touched his hair, it was softer than usual, and his skin was getting paler and paler, "HE'S BLEEDING!" Kim yelled, for perhaps the 10th time that night.

Remus's head was bleeding, and dark red blood flowed from it, onto Kim's hand. "We have to get him to the Infirmary," Announced Kim, "Criminal or not."

"Lily, make us big and we'll carry him there." Ordered Kim to Lily who had calmed down. Lily reached out and grabbed the wand which Remus had clasped in his hands. After some prying, she managed to take her wand and change Kim and Becky back to their usual size. Becky was leaning against the wall in shock, and when she grew bigger, her head hit against a ledge, and immediately the wall behind her opened, revealing a door.

"AHHH!" She screamed, after all, it had been quite a night and walls falling away behind you weren't that usual, even in Hogwarts.

"A door?" Lily asked curiously.

"Seems like it, but we can go look at that later, we need to carry Remus there," Kim said, but spat out the word Remus, which caused Lily to give her a look.

"I never thought I'd see the day when Kim is actually dissing her dear Remmy," Lily teased, but Kim snapped back, "This isn't Remus."

"Isn't LIKE Remus you mean, this is quite plainly Remus." Lily retorted, and Kim hooded Remus with a, "can't stand to see his face."

The three of them walked in silence, an angel, a devil and a vampire roaming the halls, freaky.

"Well after we deposit he who can't be named, can we go back to the tower to look at that weird door thing?" Asked Becky, as she absent-mindedly felt her teeth out of nervousness.

"SHIT! MY TEETH!" Becky exclaimed, "Lily I needed you to give me fangs, but you weren't there, so I tried it out and WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?" She screeched, as little pink gums emerged from her mouth.

"TELL ME YOU DIDN'T USE ENGORGIO WAITUS!" Lily shrieked, as she dragged Becky to the infirmary, all traces of nervousness and hurt gone with the wind. They hurried along, Lily and Kim carrying Remus while Becky was feeling her teeth, freaking out of course.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?"

"THAT ENLARGES THE WHOLE MOUTH1 AFTER SOME TIME! DON'T YOU PAY ATTENTION IN CHARMS!"

"DUH NO!"

"WOULD YOU PEOPLE STOP YELILNG!" Screamed Kim, and was rewarded with silence.

"Let's all hurry to that damned infirmary and sort this whole mess out. Becky stop waving your arms around and whining, that won't shrink your teeth, I really hope you know that." Kim reasoned, and Becky, scowling with her enormous gums and teeth and tongue, helped carry Remus as they hurried along, in peaceful silence.

Soon, they found themselves outside the Infirmary, with Madame Pomfrey, the nurse who everyone swore was unageable.

"What happened?" She asked, and Kim made up a story about finding this boy in his cloak on their way to the ball, as she knew Lily wouldn't like her blabbing the real story. Becky just gestured wildly to her extraordinary features and the nurse tutted, before setting it right with a simple "reducio!" spell.

"Let's go to the ball," Suggested Lily, wanting to get away from everything and just have a good time, hopefully get drunk.

"You're sure you're okay Lils?" Asked Kim, getting all motherly.

"I'm okay, don't worry. What happened to your dates?" Lily asked, noticing that Kim and Becky must have ditched them.

"We ditched them," Kim said matter of factly, "I'm so gonna try to avoid them at the Ball. Let's go back to the dorm, get ourselves all pretty, oh I mean prettier, and then go to the Ball and woo the whole male population minus the dates from hell."

"I second that." Becky supported, and the three girls, making snide remarks about Royston and Ivan, made their way back to the dormitory, and soon, the sad events of that night seemed to have vanished from their memories.

"Lily, help me get my teeth right, and don't you dare sabotage me." Becky pleaded, with a warning at the end.

"Sure sure, but dammit I was just about to swell your tongue again." Lily agreed, and in a flash, Becky had good "vamp" teeth.

"Girls are you ready?" Kim asked, and when everyone was ready, well everyone consists of only three but nevermind, they trooped down to the Ballroom, Kim and Becky making sure that they avoided Royston and Ivan.

MEANWHILE..

"James my boy, where were you?" Sirius asked, as he glanced out of the window, admiring the full moon.

"Chasing Lily, but she hates me."

"Duh, she always has, no offense mate."

James groaned when he realized that Sirius didn't know about the letters, and was positive that when he found out, James would have to run far far away from him.

"Never mind, let's just go to the ball." Sirius suggested when he saw James face so sour and black. James shook his head and said that he wanted to just stay in the room, leading Sirius to give him a suggestive look, hinting that perhaps James had fallen hard for Lily.

James just ignored him, he didn't' want to think about Lily, he just wanted to lie back and think about how his life was hell.

Sirius merely shrugged and said, "suit yourself" before leaving the room, leaving behind a downcast James who had thoughts of a certain redhead.
