"Do you think white or blue?" Lily said trying the dresses on by her.

"I don't know do I…you need a girl for these things Lil!" Bryan said with a smirk on his face.

"Hum I guess you're right…see if you can go and find Michelle please" Lily said to Bryan, she was on her dinner break on was on the shopping floor of the hotel and was looking for what to wear for the ball that night.

"Alright see you in a bit" Bryan said and left the shop to go and find Michelle, or any of the girls for that matter, anybody except him, he soon found Michelle, Amy and Jen having a cup of coffee in the staff café.

"Hey guys Lily needs your help…she's picking her dress for tonight and asked me what one looks better and I haven't got the faintest idea what to say!" Bryan said to the three and they all smiled.

"Blokes! Can't pick a single thing can they!" Amy said putting her cup on a tray with the other two cups and got up with Michelle and Jen.

"I don't think they're that bad!" Michelle said.

"Oi just because you've got Sirius Black eating out of the palm of your hand doesn't mean that he's made a good choice!" Jen said with a small laugh.

"Is that supposed to be an offence?" Michelle said with mock furry.

"So what if it is?" Jen said biting back with the mock furry.

"Guys! Stop pretending to fight, we have a girl who has to get ready for a ball in less that eight hours and needs our help!" Amy shouted in front of them both.

"Yeah I guess you're right come on girls we've got work to do!" Michelle said and the four of them set off to the shop floor where they heard someone sigh.

"Lily are you in here?" Jen said and they heard Lily shout 'yes' in a changing room and then walk out and put a dress back on it's hanging rail in the shop.

"Didn't it suit you?" Amy asked.

"Oh it suited me just fine…until I looked at the price…there is no way I can afford anything in this shop…I'll be in dept for months!" Lily said and sighed again.

"Look don't give up…we'll find you something, it doesn't have to be something from this shop does it?" Michelle asked.

"Well no…it was just easy to get to without breaking anymore rules." Lily said and sat on a stool in front of all the shoes.

"Ok, who says we had to start with the dress…we could start with the jewellery…and don't say you can't afford that because I know Daphne would be happy to lend you a necklace providing that you didn't wreak it of course." Amy said.

"But what if it doesn't match the dress that I like?" Lily said now thinking that there was no hope for anything to go right tonight.

"Look don't give up we'll find you something me and Amy have got the afternoon off and I'm sure Michelle could ask Baker if you and her could have the afternoon off as well so don't worry about it" Jen said and Lily smiled.

"I don't know what I'd do without you three!" Lily said and stood up.

"Well one things for sure…you would have Bryan picking your clothes for you and nothings worse than that!" Michelle said.

"Ha very funny…even though you're right." Bryan said with a smile and Lily laughed.

"Come on stop stalling we've got some serious shopping to do!" Amy said and the girls went up to the staff room so they could ask if Michelle and Lily could have the rest of the afternoon off, which he happy agreed to.

"Um girls I don't want you to take this personal at all but I really don't wait to go girl shopping with you!" Bryan said before the four girls walked out the door onto the street.

"Oh you don't want us to spoil your image by girl shopping with us, is that it?" Michelle said with a laugh.

"Pretty much" Bryan said and crossed his arms.

"Don't worry mate you can stay around here but only if you promise to keep out of trouble!" Lily said to Bryan.

"Don't worry about me I'll be fine!" Bryan said and Lily thought of something and said the last warning to him.

"Bry, if you see James walk away before he can see you, try to avoid him at all costs do you hear me?" Lily asked and Bryan nodded.

"Like I said don't worry about me!" Bryan said with a sigh.

"Ok see you a bit later then!" Lily said and started walking towards the door with the other three girls.

"Ok bye have a great time!" Bryan said to the girls turned backs as they walked out the door to do, as they called it 'Serious shopping'.

Lily had been searching for the perfect dress for hours now; she had already gone and borrowed her jewellery from the girls friend Daphne who working in the jewellery shop that also belonged to the hotel.

"I'm defiantly starting to lose hope now!" Lily said and sat on a seat that was next to her.

"I wouldn't give up yet Lils" Michelle said coming from behind a corner of high pressed dresses.

"And why's that?" Lily asked.

"You'll see" Michelle said and took Lily's arm over to where Michelle had just been looking with Jen and Amy following close behind them, they came to a beautiful sky blue and cream dress that went down to the floor and was shoulder cut so it was just handing off the dummy's arms.

"Oh my goodness…it's gorgeous…and it's cheap to" Lily said to the other girls.

"Yeah go and try it on!" Any said looking at the dress like it was some sort of queen.

"Ok" Lily said and walked to the side of the dummy where all the dresses were and picked out one that was her size and walked into a changing room, with the three girls waiting eagerly outside to see what she looked like. Ten minutes later Lily called the girls into the changing room where she stood there in the most gorgeous dress anyone of them could of imagined.

"Lils you look gorgeous" Any said.

"Really" Lily said going red and looking again in the mirror.

"So are you going to have it?" Michelle said really knowing the answer already.

"Yep, come on, I'll just get it off and then lets go and pay for it" Lily said and the three girls walked back out of the changing room and waited outside for Lily.

As the girls were walking back to the hotel carrying what they had brought for Lily they were deep in conversation about the happenings that were going to happen that night.

"Hey girls thanks for doing this, I mean you didn't have to come with me to do any of this, I would have understood if you even didn't want to talk to me ever again, you know with me breaking all these rules." Lily said and the girls all looked at her as if she was mad.

"Lily we're happy to do this and we would never dream of falling out with you," Michelle said as they reached the hotel.

"Look you've only got an hour left before you have to get in the limo and we've still got to go and get your hair and make up done" Amy said and led Lily into the hairdressers, again in the hotel.

"Man, I've just figured how much this hotel actually has in it!" Jen said to herself and walked into the hairdressers.

45 minutes later Lily was walking down the hotel lobby stairs in her dress with her hair, make up and jewellery on and looking like a fairy princess and walked outside and got into the waiting limo and spoke to Michelle from outside her window.

"Michelle do you really think I can pull this off?" Lily asked.

"I've got no doubt now go and have a good time, I'll look after Bryan for you." Michelle said and Lily waved one last time at her friends and then the limo set off to the long awaited ball.
