On the way to the ball, Lily kept looking down at her dress and then looking out of the window, pinching herself lightly to try and believe that this was all real. The journey to the ball took about twenty minutes and in that time Lily's arm had gone the slight shade of red.

  The Limo driver got out and opened the door to Lily and as she got out she saw the most beautiful building she could ever imagine before her and she gasped, she stood there for about five minutes just examining the loveliness of the building until the wind picked up and she came back to her senses and started to walk up the large steps into the building where a doorman was stood waiting for her to enter, she thanked the man for holding the door and walked into the main reception which was lit with candles all around and she walked up to the desk.

"Excuse me?" Lily asked the old witch who was sitting at the other side of the desk.

"Yes dear how may I help you?" the woman said politely.

"I was looking for the main hall where the ball should be going on." Lily said to the woman who got out a big note pad and turned a lot of pages until stopping on one page and then looking back up at Lily.

"Can I have your name please?" the women asked Lily.

"Um…Sarah Evans" Lily said trying not to say Lily Evans.

"Your attending Mister James Potter, yes?"

"Yes I am" Lily said.

"Ok then, it's down the hall and the first door that you come to on the left," the Woman said closing the note pad and smiling at Lily.

"Ok thank you" Lily said and started to walk away.

"Your welcome!" the witch shouted to her from behind.

Lily started to walk down the hall and saw the first door she can to and walked in… when she walked in she nearly fainted; the room was more gorgeous then the whole hotel pout together, well the bits she had seen anyway. She walked down the long stairway and walked to where she seen people dancing and singing along with the music that was being sung by the Weird Sisters. Lily walked over to one of the tables at the side of the room and sat down, she hadn't seen James yet so maybe he just hadn't come yet or he just couldn't find her, he room was full of people after all, by then she heard somebody shout.

"Sarah there you are!" the voice said and she turned around to see that Sirius was standing in front of her.

"Hi ya Sirius how are you?" Lily said.

"I'm fine…James has been looking for you, how long have you been here?" Sirius asked.

"Only about ten minutes, so where is James?" Lily asked.

"He's over there," Sirius said pointing to a man who was sitting at a table looking at her and she waved, and he waved back.

"So are you going to stay over here on you loner or come over to James and have a bit of fun?" Sirius said with a laugh.

"Hum, I think I'll stay over here" Lily said sarcastically and got to her feet.

"I thought you said you were staying over here?" Sirius said in a mock voice.

"Well I changed my mind, come on" Lily said and her and Sirius walked up to James' table where he was still staring at her.

"Hi Sarah" he finally said still looking at her and Lily sat down next to him.

"Um hi James, how are you?" Lily asked.

"I'm better now you're here" James said and Lily smiled.

"That has got to be the oldest chat up line in the book James Potter." Lily said with a laugh.

"Well I worked didn't it?" James asked smiling at her.

"I don't know; you'll have to find out." Lily said with a laugh, and then the both of them went silent until James spoke up.

"You look really gorgeous tonight," James said looking at her.

"You think so?" Lily said.

"Yeah" James said simply.

"Well you know, I just threw this old thing on" Lily said sarcastically.

"Well it still looks good on you" James said and Lily smiled and James looked over her shoulder to somebody who were sitting at the next table.

"Sarah, you see that guy over there, that's my boss and if we don't go over and talk to him he's gonna try and work me really hard and the next training session" James said pointing to a guy and a woman at the next table.

"You don't have to come up with me," James said because Lily wasn't sure of what to say.

"No it's fine come on then" Lily said and her and James got up off their table and walked over to James' boss.

"Why hello James how are you?" James' boss said as the two made it to the table.

"Not bad boss" James said with a smile.

"And who is this lovely lady standing next to you?" James' boss asked.

"Oh this is Sarah Evans boss," James said looking at Lily.

"Really well it's nice to meet you, I'm Jack Hope and this is my wife Carol" Jack said and shook Lily's hand.

"It's lovely to meet you" Lily said politely and then James heard Sirius calling him over from their table.

"Sorry boss but I've got to go, I'll see you next week in training." James said and Jack nodded and him and his wife bided goodbye to Lily and James.

"There really nice people" Lily said to James.

"Yeah but you don't want to get on the wrong side of Jack, especially when he's in one of his bad moods, unless you like to spend a few months in St. Mungos." James said with a laugh.

"I hope you're kidding" Lily said with a laugh.

"What makes you think I'm kidding?" James said smiling.

"I don't know he just doesn't seem like that kind of bloke." Lily said sitting down at their table.

"Well looks can be deceiving" James said and also sat down.

"What did you call me for Sirius?" James asked.

"I was getting bored here all by myself," Sirius said.

 "Well unless you find a girl in the next ten seconds you'll be alone again because me and Sarah are going to dance." James said and Sirius looked like Christmas had just come.

"Ok then" Sirius said getting up and walking to the bar where a blonde woman stood with his back to him.

"Hum, so Sarah do you want to dance?" James asked getting to his feet and holding out his hand.

"Ok then" Lily said and got to her feet and he led her over to the dance floor.

While they were dancing they spoke just little words to each other, Lily was defiantly in bliss.

"You know you're the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen." James said seriously.

"Yeah" Lily said with a smile and felt James' breath on her face and they both leaned in, Lily could feel more of his breath on her face and they were about and inch apart when…

"Hi Lily!"
