Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape. The two Slytherins sneered at Lily and the other Gryffindors as they walked past with their dates, Narcissa and Penelope Parkinson. James and Sirius showed them their favorite as they walked on. When the group walked into the Great Hall, they were amazed at the beautiful decorations. The four house tables had been removed and were replaced by many small tables all of which were decorated with beautiful tablecloths. There were many jack-o-lanterns in the air and there were orange and black streamers hanging from the ceiling. As the couples walked in, music filled their ears.
"Lily, would you like to dance," Remus asked as he grabbed her hand.
"Yes, I'd love to," Lily replied as she walked off with him hand in hand, grinning. They swayed to the music and Lily rested her head on his shoulder. He whispered in her ear, "You look beautiful tonight. Just like every other night." Lily smiled and blushed slightly. She looked at Savannah and Sirius who looked as if they were having a wonderful time, as were Crystal and James. Then the feast began so they all found a table and sat down. Soon after, the music stopped, signaling that the feast would begin. Lily and her friends quickly staked out a table and sat.
The evening wore on as they danced the night away happily.

When the ball had drawn to a close, Lily and her friends found their way back to the common room and sat down before the fire
"I'm so tired," Lily said as she laid her head down to the person beside her. She looked up to see that it was none other than James. She blushed from embarrassment.
"Goodnight everyone," she called as she walked towards the stairs. Before she got their, however, she found her way back to a certain someone..."Goodnight Remus, " She smiled as she kissed him on the cheek and left.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day, when the Gryffindors awoke, all they could talk about was the ball and how wonderful it had been. And of course, they had their fair share of gossip. ("Did you see her dress?" "I never knew he even liked her!")
Up in the boys' dormitory...
"Sirius, wake up!!!" James shouted from across the room. When his best friend still wouldn't wake, James resorted to a classic: pillow throwing.
"Ok, I'm up," Sirius grumbled. Immediately after he had said these words, he went back to sleep and began to snore. James began to get very annoyed and grabbed a pillow and smacked him HARD right across his face.
"Hey! Cut it out!!" Sirius screamed through the pillow, "Ok, I'm really up now."
The Marauders went down to the Great Hall to eat breakfast. Remus slid by next to Lily and planted a kiss on her cheek. He whispered in her ear," Lily, can you meet in the common room in 15 minutes?" Lily nodded. James sat next to Crystal and wrapped her in a tight hug. Sirius sat next to Savannah and plainly greeted: "Good Morning."
Savannah was slightly hurt. 'But maybe Sirius just isn't the romantic type,' she thought. They all got up and went to their classes. As Savannah walked out of Astronomy she saw Sirius with Kimberly, another Gryffindor, and his arm was around her waist. Savannah felt tears behind her eyes coming out. She really liked Sirius but he obviously didn't like her. He doesn't do anything romantic with her but he does with other girls. She wanted to run but her feet wouldn't move. Then Sirius's attention went on Savannah. He saw her standing there, tears coming out of her eyes.
"Shit!" Sirius cursed. Savannah began to run to her dorm and Sirius ran after her. Her grabbed her arm and turned her around.
"Listen…." He began to say.
"NO! You listen! You don't do anything romantic with me but you do with other girls. It isn't even like we are going out. She was practically sobbing at this point. Sirius tried to hug her.
"DON'T TOUCH ME! You lost that right ever since you put your hands on another girl. Just leave me alone," Savannah screamed.
"I'm really sorry but I don't like you anymore. I don't like commitment and I'm not the boyfriend type. I like to be free. I'm very sorry. I never intended on hurting you. " Sirius said sincerely.
She nodded. She had always known Sirius was a bit of a player, but hadn't wanted to listen to those thoughts, "I understand, but it still hurts that I truly liked you and you didn't back, but I'll get over it. I guess I can't force you to like me. For now I just want to be left alone." And with that, she left up to her dorm.

Meanwhile….
"What did you want to talk to me about?"
All
day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me
"I need to tell you something important. I…. I am a… werewolf."
I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
"That is it? I don't care about what you turn into once a month! I care about the person you are… my friend."
I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell
"You are okay with it?
"Yeah! Of course! By the way, have you seen Savannah?" Lily asked to Remus.
" Her and Sirius broke up, " He replied sadly.
"Oh, poor Savannah. I'm gonna go talk to her," Lily stated worriedly, as she hugged Remus and left. Lily opened to door to the dormitories to find Savannah laying on the bed crying and Crystal beside her. Lily walked over to her and comforted her. Savannah explained what happened thoroughly through her sniffles. Crystal went out to the Common Room and found James there.
"How could Sirius do that???" she screamed.
"Look, don't be mad at him. He doesn't like commitment. When he asked Savannah to the Ball, he just meant for the ball, not permanently. Savannah took it the wrong way, and Sirius didn't want to hurt her. That's why he didn't tell her." James explained. Crystal felt more satisfied and gave James a kiss on the cheek and left. Crystal climbed up the stairs to go to the girl's dormitory. Lily was still there even though Savannah was acting like nothing had happened. For the rest of the night, they talked and joked about anything and everything until they fell asleep.A/N: hiyee yall! hope u like the new chappy! dont be mad but im not gonna update till i get 4 reviews! only 4 *ducks flying tomatoes*
