=Chapter 10=
Before they knew it, November 15 snuck up on them. As soon as all the plates cleared, Dumbledore made an announcement.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! I am proud to say that Christmas Holidays have been moved up to one month, due to the fact that you have all been studying hard!" Cheers came throughout the whole hall. "And," Dumbledore continued after they (the cheers) died down, "On November 30, the day before your break begins, I am proud to say that the heads have scheduled a Christmas Ball! All fourth years and up are invited!"
Louder cheers erupted from the audience. Before Lily, Ness, Belle, and Alice left the Great Hall, Someone grabbed Lily's hand. She turned around, as did her friends, and saw Amos Diggory looking down at her.
"Lily," he started, "Would you be so kind as to accompany me to the Christmas Ball?"
"Of course," Lily grinned.
"Then I'll pick you up in front of the Gryffindor Common Room at 7:00?"
"Please do," Lily nodded and left with her friends, leaving a pleased looking Diggory behind.

"Stupid Git," James muttered. He had just watched the whole thing, "We should prank him."
"For what?" Remus asked, highly amused.
"Who cares?" Sirius threw an arm over his friend, "Let's get our supplies. I bet we could bomb the Hufflepuff common room before the day ends!"
"No one will be pranking anyone," Remus grabbed his friends and led them back to the common room.

"Wow! He sure does act quickly, doesn't he?" Ness asked, pasting pictures into her scrap book.
"He sure does!" Lily agreed pasting in a picture of the four of them next to the wall.
"Too bad," Alice added, "I surely thought you'd go with Potter!" Belle nodded in agreement.
"GO WITH THAT GIT?" Lily was now pissed, "WHY SHOULD I? WHY WOULD I?!?!"
"It was only what she thought was going to happen," Belle said, pulling Lily down, "Besides! I thought you'd get with him after that one kiss."
"It did look like you were enjoying it, Lils!" Ness agreed.
"I wouldn't go anywhere with Potter! In relationships, he's been taught to do three things: Introduction to the girl, Shag the girl, and break up with the girl!" Lily said, ticking each off her fingers.

The four boys sat around the common room fire when they heard screaming coming from the girls dorm:
"GO OUT WITH THAT GIT? WHY SHOULD I? WHY WOULD I?!?!"
"It seems," Sirius sighed, "That they're talking about you, Prongs!"
=
Sadly, James had wandered off as soon as the word 'Git' came.
"So, would you like to go to the ball with me?" James asked Tammy, a beautiful Hufflepuff that was wanted by half of the male population.
"Of course, Jamsie!" She answered, red faced. She giggled a bit and kissed him on the cheek, "I'll see you around then!" and she ran off.

When James walked back in, the marauders and the girls were playing some game. The rules were a person had to spin a bottle and ask the person that the bottle lands on a question about someone else in the group. It was a good way to find things out about one another. James took a seat when Peter spun.
"Ness," Peter addressed the person it landed on, "What is the hardest thing to have Lily do?"
Ness thought for a second, "To tell you the truth, it's hardest to get Lily Evans drunk! I think it's easier to get Lily in bed with you then to get her drunk! Once it took her 5 gallons of Japanese Sake to get drunk! THAT'S GOTTA BE SOME KIND OF A RECORD!"
"Five gallons?" Sirius turned wide eyed to Lily, "You truly are a drinker! I think we'll get along just fine!" He used the summoning spell to get two glasses. Then he pulled out some Fire whiskey from his pocket.
"Actually," Lily said, watching Sirius pour Fire Whiskey into her glass, "I do get easily drunk if someone puts in a specific drug. Even the littlest amount! But to be safe, I won't tell you what it is!" she sung the last part and chugged down all the contents of her glass.
Ness spun the bottle and it landed on Sirius, "What's one of James's biggest weaknesses?"
"Well," Sirius added more whiskey into his glass, "He is head over heals over a specific girl, but, one of his biggest weaknesses is," he thought for a minute, "FOOFY!"
Remus and Peter fell over laughing.
"Who's Foofy?" Belle asked them.
"ACCIO FOOFY!" Sirius called out, and a little stuffed stag flew straight into his hands. Everyone burst out laughing.
"You're going to pay for that," James grinned, pulling Foofy back, "ACCIO SIRIUS JR.!" He called out as a black bean-stuffed dog fell into his hands, "This, is Sirius Jr. A/K/A: SIRIUS'S BESTEST FRIEND!"
Everyone fell over in laughter.

It was 7:00, November 30th. Sirius stood with Belle whose hair was placed down to covering some of her sky blue robes. She looked stunning. Remus stood hand in hand with Ness whose hair was half up. The robes she wore, which were a plum shade, accented her chocolate eyes. Peter got detention. The two guys waited because Belle and Ness wanted to walk with Lily. James came rushing with Tammy following close behind.
"I reserved a table. Why are you guys still here?" He asked, glaring at Amos.
Ness decided to answer, "We're waiting fo-"
She got cut off as Lily walked down. Her hair was pinned up in a bun, leaving a few strands to fall over her light makeup. Her white dress accented her hair, which in turn accented her eyes.
Diggory walked over to her and held out his arm, "Shall we?"
Lily gratefully took it and followed James and Tammy to their reserved table.
=
After about an hour of dancing, everyone returned to the table to eat a bit. Lily, Ness, Remus and Tammy had pork chops. James, Amos, and Sirius had stakes, and Belle, Frank, and Alice had lamb chops.
"I'm really thirsty," Lily said, putting down her fork.
Amos got up and got her a fire whiskey. When he got back, she looked at it and laughed, "If you're trying to get me drunk, Mr. Diggory, I suggest you bring me to the land of Alcohol!"
"I'll bring you when I think it's necessary," he answered back, taking a piece of Lily's food.
"Bring me with you," Sirius said as he watched Lily chug down her drink.
"Let's dance?" Amos asked, taking Lily's hand. She blushed, nodded in agreement, and followed him to the dance floor.
"That. Bastard," Ness said, rising. Belle slowly stood up to join her when their dates pulled them down.
"What's up?" Remus asked while trying to keep his date on her seat.
"Lily's never silent after taking a drink," Ness struggled to get up, "She's drunk! He put in that drug!"
Belle and Ness broke free, but before they could make it, James got there before them and punched Diggory in the face. Lily finished the new glass of Fire Whiskey Amos got to her.
James grabbed Amos by the collar, "How dare you do that to Evans?" he murmured.
"Take her," Amos answered, "Let me have some of your fan club at least! Who needs a little mudblood like her if you could be surrounded by women?"
James raised his fist, "You deserve to be in Slytherin, Diggory!" Before he could punch him though, someone touched his hand that held Amos's collar. James quickly let go to look at Lily.
"James?" she muttered, "Hospital Wing."
And she feinted.
