The Halloween Ball
Chapter One
(Okiedokie folks, this was once an rp, I've converted it as easily as I can. Most of you don't know the character here except for Sirius... this is just the first chapter so yeah... FYI: Kierran is the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and Tilden is the annoying as hell Professor of Transfiguration and head of Gryffindor House... Lydia is Sirius' girlfriend, Lily.. we know... Amy is her friend and had/has a huge crush on Sirius, Molly is a Slytherin type of slutty girl lol, Lethe is Lydia's best friend and is going out with a Slytherin, and that's all for this chapter. Ok.. the little astiriks is when a different person is writing, just an fyi. Hope you enjoy, this entire thing will be around 20 chapters I believe. -David)

A ghostly hand lit a final candle with a quite solid looking wand. Then the opaque figure turned with a sigh, running his hand through misty silver hair.
"I'd have to say it's time to start the Ball!"
Kierran gave one last glance about the significantly decorated Great Hall. The normal house tables had been replaced by multiple smaller tables around the walls. A stage had been set up for the musicians, whom were resting before everyone came, their instrument cases leaning against the chairs. Jack-o'-lanterns floated above the head of the teachers, whom were rushing about to finish the preparations before the ball.
He turned to the large oaken doors, grinning he opened them slowly… or tried. Instead his hand went through the door. He sighed loudly.
"A little help here?!"
Another teacher rushed over, his black cloak billowing behind him. The other teacher opened the door. There was a HUGE crowd out there!
*
Tilden groaned, rushing over to help Kierran and what was the Professor of Potions. Grabbing one of the handles he pulled and peered out. Crikes! Was every single student attending? That was nearly over 1500 kids. Looking to Kierran he sighed.
Tilden was definitely looking.. a bit stranger than usual. Definitely Unorthodox. His normal full head of gray hair was frayed and standing up in random positions. Small luightning sparks coming from the ends. His glasses were no more, instead his eyes were completely white, some type of contacts no doubt. He usual pristeen robes were charred and frayed at the ends. He cleared his throat and attempted to say something.
"Now..."
"Aw, let is in already will ya?!"
Laughs immediately rupted as usual, the excited voice of Sirius Black was echoing over the hubub. Jumping up and down, Sirius waved his hook alongside his hat which had a very large and fluffy feather in it. Grinning crazily, Sirius let out a hollar.
"LET US IN! LET US IN!"
Tilden sighed and rolled his eyes, though no one could really tell. Looking to Kierran he shrugged and stepped aisde allowing teh students to rush in.
"Happy Halloween everybody.."
*
Lydia dashed after Sirius, brushing against several blushing and stammering boys in her rather scanty costume.
"Wait for me!"
Her costume was... interesting. It consisted of black silk, whose edges were embroidered with golden thread. A thin, transparent black veil hung over her nose and mouth, she wore plain papyrus sandals and golden anklets jingled. Her top covered only her upper chest, and barely that- it showed off quite a bit, and she had quite a bit to show. Her skirt sat on her hips and fell to her knees, but there were slits- on both sides- that went all the way to her thigh. Of course, her costume was no problem for her, she was nice and tan. Overall, her lithe body was scantily covered.
Lethe was almost as bad. She wore a tight, pale green tank top, her platinum blond hair was pulled up into a bun. Green glitter adorned her eyes. Her skirt was extremely short, letting her long slim legs go on display. There was glitter shining on her cheeks, arms and chest. She waited patiently for Felix, her wand in her hand.
Molly sauntered in, making a few boys blush at her also scanty costume. She wore a knee-length black lace skirt with a black slip beneath, there were slits in both. She wore a silken, stiff dark crimson courset, a low-cut white peasant shirt under it. Her hair was half-up half down, with red ringlets falling about her face. She wore fishnet stockings and high heels. She glanced around, looking for someone to talk to.
*
"Oh yeah..."
Pushing through the mass of second years that had just arrived, Sirius reached out and grabbed Lydia's hand, energetically running over to a table, the Marauders had "reserved". He grinned looking at her from to to bottom. Raising his eyebrows he laughed.
"Damn girl..."
He looked at James and Remus before giving a mischevious smile.
"I got a hot date and you two don't.. haha!"
Striking a rather comical pose, Sirius definitely made a figure. His normal straight chin length black hair was curled down to his shoulders, loose ringlets that fell lazily over his shoulders and wafted about when he turned. His hat was quite large and a dark maroon, a bright and fluffy pink feather sticking out from the back. He wore a puffy white shirt, a fringe on the front, sticking out from underneath his jacket, which happened to be a nice velvet maroon, fitting him quite nicely. Sexy. ^^ He wore knee legth khaki pants that tied off, starting his rather large leather boots, fit with golden buckles, that were really galleons. He had a sword hanging in a scabbard on his hip and off course, a hook on his left hand.
*
Lily entered slowly, getting shoved around by the other kids still entering. She was dressed in a long black dress, adorned with golden lace at the chest regally. A black and gold headband worn about her head, her straight auburn tresses reined back by the band. Lily was here as a Medieval Renaissance princess. Her emerald eyes sparkled with interest and wonder as she looked up at the pumpkins above her head- a wonderful effect.
Amy entered behind Lily and Lydia. She almost bumped into Lydia but pushed the other way; she didn't want the night to be ruined in a confrontation. Amy wore a flowing white skirt and a pale blue courset. A silver pendant of a dolphin glimmered on her neck, suspended there by a delicate platinum chain. Two long pieces of hair, one from each side of a central part, was pulled back into a silver barrette at the back of her head, the ends of her hair curled a bit at the end. Light blue eye shimmer decorated her eyelids, a bit of white glitter above that. Plain clear lip gloss dressed her lips. She had come as Melody of The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea. She sighed and looked around.
*
Lydia's hand went to her veil, which she had momentarily intended to remove so she could kiss Sirius. She was stunned at his costume, it made her want to kiss him a lot, but remembering the presence of the others, she ran her hand through his hair.
"Nice... I like... a lot."
She smiled seductively, golden lipgloss shimmering on her lips. She hoped that sometime later some of that lipgloss would have detatched itself onto a certain someone. Brushing her hair away from her eyes revealed them more. She wore black eyeliner Egyptian style, a bit of gold eyeshadow but not much. The one time, and probably the only time, they would ever see her wearing makeup.
*
Sirius grinned and gave a modest shrug as if saying he already knew. Laughing he shut his eyes with a smile as she ruffled his hair. It didn't go back to being straight either, it jut returned to the ringlets. He wasn't too fond of them actually, he thought they made him look gay, but by the dreamy gazes he was getting from a group of 4th year Ravenclaws, he chose to think otherwise. And of course from Lydia! He made to give her another little playful cuff before realizing it was his hook hand. Laughing he looked at it, the metal gleaming from the candle-light.
He had wanted it silver, but as Remus was about he really couldn't, so it was titanium. He wan't expecting to use it but if the need arose it was indestructable. Instead he made a small bow, flapping his hat back and forth in a rather gentleman like manner. Raising up he placed it on his head and held out his right arm.
"Care to join me, me buxom beauty?"
*
Lydia continued to smile.
"Of course, Sir Hot Pirate!"
She giggled, slipping her arm into his.
"Let us descend!"
She wondered if he had yet noticed... she had dropped her voice cover and sounded like the pure Egyptian she was.
Lethe continued to wait, arms crossed, looking impatient now. She glared around, looking for Felix. Nowhere to be seen. She swore at him beneath her breath.
*
Sirius gave a mischevious grin, raising his hook a bit. With a wink he gave a small shake of his head, ringlets falling in front of his shoulders.
"Captain my lady Egyptian...."
Nodding his head, flashing a small smile, he walked forward, giving a whoop and hollar to those he knew, recieving an insane amount in return. Ah, popularity was so much fun. He also noticed a couple of girls were staring at him and Lydia with obvious jealous faces, he loved it. Dropping his formal attitude he looked around.
"Allrighty, where to?"
*
"I don't know. Tired of everyone staring at me. But I suppose that is the price one pays when one wears something like this."
She laughed.
"Maybe to get something to drink..."
She glanced at him.
"Captain."
She laughed again.
"I feel like... dancing..."
*
Lily looked around and decided to walk over at a table with a few girls there."Hello..." She said to a couple of her friends.
Amy looked at Lydia and Sirius.She smiled at both hoping Lydia would go off.She sighed and stood there looking dumb.She moved to the table Lily was at
*
Sirius grinned and tipped his hat accordingly. He didn't really want the punch they were serving, especially if Tilden was the one serving it. He'd probably poison it or something. He did however know he had a nice little bottle of his Uncle's "present" from the Soviet Union inside of his coat, he'd just have to spice it up a bit. Not a lot of people were dancing yet, and he didn't want to be the first. He wasn't afraid of dancing, hell, he did it just to show off and he was sure a break dancing Captain hook would be something to see... but not yet... no no no.
"Drinks are good... hey..."
He glanced over at her with a handsome smile.
"I'll dance with you later, it's mingling time... and don't worry, who cares if anyone's looking at you,"
He gave a small laugh, winking at her.
"They're just jealous."
*
Lydia snorted derisively.
"Mingling shmingling!"
She said at first, but remembering that this was Mister Social Popularity here, she smiled apologetically.
"Very well... mingle mingle..."
