"It was worth it." Said James. They were at this night's detention.
Cleaning out the Trophy Room.
"We are in total agreement, James my man." Sirius said, polishing off another trophy.
"Especially if you're a guy named Sirius who waited to impress a girl called Jessie." Remus said slyly.
All of the boys, except Sirius, snickered. Sirius got a little red in the face.
"It was. just, you know. didn't want her, . I mean them.. to miss it." He blubbered.
"Sure Sirius, whatever you say." James said smoothly
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
"I feel sorry for the boys. They have to go and have detention with Filch. Ugh. Wonder how their doing." trailed off Jessie
"They deserved it." Lily said disapprovingly
"They always have" mumbled Lynn.
"YOU'RE just anxious because Sirius is with them, Jessie." Emily said, smiling.
Jessie went brick red.
"NO! I mean. it's just. who wouldn't be. Flich. Ugh." She went trailing off just as Sirius had at the exact same time in the trophy room.
"Sure Jessie, whatever you say." Said Lily smoothly
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
McGonagall knocked her spoon against her goblet. "ATTENTION STUDENTS!!"
It was breakfast of the next morning. Last night when the boys got back the girls were already fast asleep. Then they themselves went to sleep in their dorms.
Dumbledore stood up.
"It is my pleasure to announce that this year, instead of the regular Halloween banquet we will have a full Halloween Ball!!!"
Everybody cheered.
"This'll be so much fun!" Jessie said
"How so? Squeaked Peter.
"What do you mean?" Jessie asked confused "He means that it's better for you girls because you don't have to go and ask someone like we do. We have to ask and fear being rejected." Said Remus.
"Oh. We can ask guys if we want to though. I don't see whats wrong with it." Jessie said, shrugging
"Oh, yeah. Then do so. Ask a guy before the day ends." Smirked James with a plan in mind.
"Fine" said Jessie stubbornly.
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
"I got to go. I left something in the dorms. See you all in class." Jessie said
"I left something too. I'll come with you." Said Sirius.
They left to the dorms.
James gathered everybody up in a tight group.
"Look, we all know that Sirius likes Jessie and Jessie likes Sirius. We should set them up." Said James quickly.
"I agree." Said Lynn.
"But I must say that I'm only doing this for Jessie. Not for you." She added
"Wouldn't want it any other way." Said Remus smoothly.
"So, what are we going to do?" asked Lily.
"I think we should set them up in as many positions as possible today so Jessie can ask him." Said James
"Imagine Sirius reaction to being asked to a dance by a girl." Chuckled Peter.
"Whatever, Peter. Anyway, I think all of us just stay away from them both all day and they'll be stuck only with each other because their both being ignored." Said Emily
"I agree." Said Lynn
"Alright, let's do it."
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
Their next class was Charms, so Lynn and Lily paired together, James and Peter paired up and Remus and Emily went together for class partners.
When Jessie and Sirius arrived they saw all their friends paired up.
They were confused but they just looked at each other and shrugged.
They sat down and a table and got their stuff out for class.
When class ended they noticed that the gang other than them left unusually early. And they were early to class even though they hadn't seen them at lunch.
"Something's going on." Said Jessie.
"No shit, Sherlock". Said Sirius bitterly. "James has never ignored me like this."
"Well, will see what happens, because it looks like we'll be stuck together all day." Said Jessie.
"You say it like it's a bad thing, Jessie" Sirius said teasingly
"God, I'm turning into Lynn. Lord save me." Jessie said despairingly.
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
This pattern continued for the rest of the day. Jessie and Sirius were doing their homework in the Gryffindor Common room.
All of their friends came through the portrait hole.
"So, how'd it go? Do you have a date yet, Jessie?" said James as if nothing happened
"Yes." said Jessie, confused
"And who is it?" asked Lynn
"Me!" piped up Sirius
"See, this is why we ignored you all day. So you could get together. And it worked!" said Emily
Jessie and Sirius looked at each other for a sec and then burst out laughing.
"So. that's . why." they said to each other in between laughter.
Everybody else looked confused. "What?" asked Remus
When Sirius was still laughing, Jessie summoned enough control to tell them
"Guys, we got together, like, when we went to get our stuff this morning. He asked me, but I said no because of James. Then I asked him and he said yes. You didn't need to ignore us all day."
"Geez. We were wondering if you guys thought we had a disease or something." Said Sirius still laughing
The group all looked at each other with the same face expression. "We are total arses"
"and here I thought you guys didn't like me anymore." Said Sirius, wiping an imaginary tear off his cheek.
"There, there Sirius. It's not you, it really IS them this time." Laughed Jessie.
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
The next morning at breakfast, Jessie and Sirius were still teasing them.
"Enough already!!!" said James finally, exasperated.
"I agree!" said Lily
"Fine, fine." Jessie relented
"You brought it on yourself any ways." Said Sirius
"Whatever, just enough." Said Lynn.
"Hey! Did you guys see the post on the common room board this morning? It was all about the ball." Said Emily.
"No, what did it say?" asked Lily
"It said that it would be a costume ball and that we are all aloud to go to Hogsmeade to get them this Saturday."
"Costume ball? Said Sirius sneakily. He and Jessie exchanged evil looking smirks.
"God. Now I'm scared." Said Lynn.
"You should be" said Jessie.
"So, boys, have you gotten yourselves a date like me?" Jessie asked
"No" said Remus and Peter
"Well, I have had a couple of girls ask me but I said that I'd think about it so we'll see." Said James
"Jeez James. Just think, who do YOU want to go with?" said Jessie exasperated
"I want to go with a friend." Said James
"Then ask Lynn, Lily, or Emily." Said Jessie
"Because you don't have any other girl friends" said Lynn smoothly.
James splashed some of his pumpkin juice on her.
"Hey!" screamed Lynn, as she through some of her eggs at him.
It hit James flat in his face.
There was total silence in the Great Hall when they saw James. You could hear a quill drop. It seemed as if time would stop.

"FOOD FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
James yelled it across the Hall and mass chaos broke out. Food was soon flying everywhere in all directions. No one made it out clean.
Not even the teachers.
The amount of food flying was unbleivable because the food dishs kept refilling themselves. It was so dense you couldn't see across the room. People were throwing food everywhere. At their neighbors, their tables, across the Hall. All of the most daring ones even threw at the teachers table, so the teachers too were drenched in various food. There was screaming and war cries everywhere. Everyone was caught up in having so much fun the didn't notice anything else. People were standing on the benches and on the tables, Some were even jumping from table to table.
"ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
This time it wasn't James who was screaming
It was.
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_
Ohhhh, Cliffhanger. Do you like it?
P.S. I am really sorry that I put half of the last chapter here earlier. Thanx for letting me know! (Geez, how embarrassing for me!)
Okay, since I know that people are reviewing I want to ask a few questions.
1. Should I make the chapters shorter so I can put them up faster?
2. What do you think should happen in the story?
3. Do you like it?
4. Should I keep writing? Its not like I want to become a writer when I grow or anything so I don't really know.
THANK YOU ALL FOR REVIEWING!!!!!!!!! I want to write one of those stories that have about 300 reviews on it. That is my dream. HELP ME!!!!
