Chapter 4- The Ball
Later that night Steve came into look how Lily was doing and found her in her room, quietly crying "Lily baby, what on earth is wrong" Steve cried rushing over to comfort her. "Daddy, she said after a few minutes of weeping "why does mummy hate me, is it because I'm a witch, a freak" Steve held her at arms length "Lily, look at me" Lily held her head up and looked into her fathers stern eyes "you are not a freak, you are a beautiful young lady that has a very special gift do you understand me?" Lily nodded, not trusting her voice.
"Good now do you know how to do the spell for make-up and hair" "But daddy, I don't need to know how, all I ever need to do is think about what I want done, click my fingers and its done, see watch I'll show you" Lily clicked her fingers and her hair magnificently twisted itself into a messy bun with a few ringlets hanging down around her face, another click and the make-up was done, the eye-shadow an emerald green, to match the dress, earrings, necklace and her eyes, her mascara done a deep black, all of her freckles had magically disappeared and there was just a wee touch of blush. Lily's father gasped, "Lily, how long have you known you can do spells without saying the incantation" "Umm ever since I levitated the table" said Lily wondering why it was so important to her dad.
Lily's father jumped up and almost ran out before remembering his daughter "Lily, I knew you were powerful but this is amazing, I think you could be more powerful than me, with the correct training, I have to go and owl Dumbledore, but Lily, if you discover any more talents go straight to Dumbledore, okay" "Sure, cya, oh by the way when do you want me and James in the ballroom"
"Oh I nearly forgot, umm, I'll send Minkles to come and get you for you grand entrance" (Minkles Lily's personal house-elf- just in case you were wondering- its also the name of a rabbit that lives near our bus-stop- don't ask- my sister named him when she was 3rd form- okay there's just a little background info, back to the story!!!!) "Ohh dad do I have to do the whole grand entrance thing" "Yes, don't fight me on this, its tradition, and Lily, I must warn you, you must turn up, the tradition holds a curse and if you break it you will be cursed, and James" "Damn" said Lily, who had been just thinking of ways she could bolt. "Language, young lady, now if you could excuse me I have to go owl Dumbledore, and you need to change" "Fine" said Lily grudgingly. Steve smiled as he left the room, thinking of how alike Lily and he were.
Lily clicked her fingers and she had on the beautiful dress, another click and the gorgeous jewellery James had bought her was on, and as after- thought, another made sure her makeup and hair would stay exactly the way is was now for the whole night, she checked herself in the mirror one last time, then went to check on how James was going with his suit, and to warn him about her bitchy cousins.
"James are you ok" Lily said softly "Lily thank god, how the hell does this thing go?" Lily opened the door and struggled to contain her laughter when she saw that he had somehow tied himself up in the suit, "Here" she said kindly and with one click of her fingers his suit was on perfectly. James straightened up and looked at Lily and as soon as he saw her, his mouth dropped open in surprise, "Lily you look gorgeous" "Well you don't look so bad yourself handsome" said lily blushing slightly. "Hold on a sec" Lily clicked her fingers and James hair was flat, "hmm, no, you suit it all over the place" "What the hell" James exclaimed, "how on earth did you do that, you didn't have a wand, and you didn't say a thing" "Yeah so what, I can do wand less magic" Then Lily realised what she had so stupidly forgotten to tell James "oh crap I forgot to tell you, I'm a Mamut like daddy, except with the right training I could be more powerful" "How the hell could you forget to tell me that, hold on, your not joking are you?" "No, I wouldn't joke about that, I'm serious" "Oh my god, this is so great, we can prank the Slytherins and they won't even know, oh I can't wait" "Umm, sirs and miss, Minkles has been told to takes you's down to the ball room" "Oh thanks, we will be right down, Minkles, are you ready to go down into the fire pit Jamie old boy" "Lets go my fair lady" James said as he took her arm and tried to lead her the opposite way to the ball room! "Uhh Jamie, I've got a feeling the ball rooms this way" "Oh ok then, and DON'T call me Jamie" "Ohh who's the touchy one then" Lily said as they neared the doors to the ball room. "Ready to face the inevitable" "Alrighty then, let's go"
