"Dumbledore will see you now," Professor McGonagall told the two, who were rather perplexed because Dumbledore was usually content to let McGonagall deal out punishment.
McGonagall left and Sirius and Lara walked into Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk, and he looked serious and at the very same time amused, as he was apt to. He waited for the pair of troublemakers to sit before beginning.
"It has been brought to my attention that there is one main target for your pranking. And thought many--myself included--find them amusing, they are rather embarrassing to your--erm--victim. Professor McGonagall has requested that you victimize others and not torment Mr. Snape so very much. Therefore, to let you reflect on this, your punishment is that you are not permitted to go to the masquerade."
He was answered with a stunned silence. Then Lara said, "What?!?!? That--that's not fair!!!"
"Fair or not Miss. Brown, that is you punishment," Dumbledore's eyes were sad, then amused. "Now, if I'm not mistaken, I believe you have classes to attend."
Lara was still angry when they reached charms class. She shot Prof. Flitwick, one of her favorite teachers, a withering look when he politely asked why they were late. She slammed her bag down on the ground next to her seat. Lily and Sierra looked at her curiously, but she glared at them until they looked away. For the rest of the class she scribbled angrily on her parchment, not really writing anything, but slowly turning it black with all the marks.
After class, she stomped out, leaving her friends behind, which she would not have normally done. She usually had to be dragged to their next class, because she would stay after to talk to Flitwick.
When they caught up to her, Lily asked, "Lara, what happened?"
"I don't see how that's any of your bloody business," Lara snapped, not thinking.
Realizing what she had just said and to whom she had said it, Lara stopped walking and shut her eyes. Putting her hands over her eyes, she sighed.
"I'm sorry," she apologized. "It's just...I can't go to the ball because of the stupid prank me and Sirius pulled."
"What?! That's not fair!" Sierra gasped. "Does this mean Sirius isn't going either?"
Lara nodded. "You can go with Remus, that's who I was going to go with."
"I don't get it," Lily said. "Why would he exclude you from the ball? Why not give you detention?"
"He said we needed to stop tormenting Snivellus, and pick on someone else." She was quiet for a moment. "You know, I was really looking forward to this, for once. Just a night to dress up and hang out with a band playing and people everywhere. And all that Butterbeer that needs to be spiked. I'm going to miss it all!"
"You know what would make you feel better?" Sierra asked. "A shopping trip. Tomorrow's a Hogmeade trip, we could shop all day."
"Yeah, and I'm going as you, so it would be a perfect time to get our robes." Lily said eagerly.
Lara slowly smiled, "I suppose you're right. Come on, we're going to be late for Divination."
The next day, they set out for Hogsmeade, ready for a full day of shopping.Their purses were loaded with money. Every knut they could find was brought.
"Sweet shop first," Lara declared.
They entered Honeydukes and bought enough chocolate to last them a month. Then they left to go to Madame Malkin's.
Only Lily and Lara tried on robes, because Sierra was going to go as Lily. So Sierra acted as a judge for who should get what.
Finally, it was decided.
Lily, as Lara, would wear midnight blue robes, with delicate silver embroidery around the hems and neckline. It was made of a silky material. The neckline was a scoop, not too low, but not too high. The skirt fell straight to the floor. The sleeves were tight until just below her elbow, where they stopped on to, but kept going on the bottom.
Sierra, as Lily, would wear emerald green robes. The robes were velvety and the skirt flaired out and formed a train at the end. The top was almost low cut but it was still modest. The body piece clung to the her, not too tight, but tight enough to accentuate her curves.
Satisfied, Lily and Sierra paid for their robes and they three of them left to meet people at the Three Broomsticks.
Putting their packages beside their chairs, Lily, Lara, and, Sierra collapsed onto them. They ordered Butterbeer and started to talk.
The Mauraders announced their presence when Sirius yelled, "Rosemerta, darling, can we get a drink?"
Madame Rosemerta rolled her eyes good-naturedly. The boys sat next to Lara and made themselves comfortable at their table.
"How have you been this fine and lovely day?" Sirius asked, pretending to be overly polite.
He got looks from all three girls, "Shut up, Sirius," Said Lara, shaking her head at his stupidity.
Sirius put his hand over his heart in mock-agony, "I'm wounded, Lara. You wound me with your--"
Sierra interrupted, "Shut up. You're acting stupid."
Sirius stopped. "Fine," he sniffed. "I can see I'm not appreciated."
"See, the boy has some sense! You just have to knock it into him!" This set everyone laughing.
The ball completely forgotten for the moment, the group laughed and talked until it was time to go back to school.
