Chapter 9: Halloween #1: Getting Ready
-----
So the next morning, everyone walked downstairs sleepily and ate their breakfast.
"What did I do at dinner?" Remus asked, rubbing his head.
"You were being a spaz, that's what" James told him.
"You put a bloody bowl on you're head pretending it was a hat for Merlin's sake!" Peter yelled.
"Hey!" Sirius said. "I do that sometimes too!" Lily laughed.
"I see someone's in a better mood!" James said to her. Her smile faded and she glared at him.
"Ooh! A package!" Alex said as her owl landed in front of her with a big brown box. "It's the uniforms!" She decided to hand them out later so that no one would get food on them.
"We're not pigs you know," Sirius informed her with his mouth full. She snorted.
The day went by slow, since everyone was waiting for the end of the day to continue working on their costumes.
"And then, Miranda the Great set out and... and..." Professor Binns stopped in the middle of his lecture on Miranda the Great and dozed off. Just then, the bell rang and he woke up.
"Yes, and then-" but by the time he started talking again, no one was in the room.
"I have the costumes in my dorm," Alex said and she raced up the stairs. After they admired the outfits, it was dinner time.
"Mmm, I'm hungry!" Sirius said rubbing his hands together.
"What else is new?" Remus asked and Sirius shrugged.
"So, my precious Lily, are we still going to the dance together?" a boy's voice asked her. She turned around and nearly spit out her pumpkin juice. Gilderoy Lockhart stood him front of her in a pink and blue outfit. It was extremely girly. It even had his name in cursive writing on the robes. Sirius, Remus, and James went to great lengths to keep from bursting out with laugher. Alex and Julia just starred. He was a good looking boy in general - blonde hair, gleaming blue eyes, white teeth - but his choice of outfit was horrible.
"Heh... uh, yeah," she said finally.
"Great!" he exclaimed. He saw Alex and Julia watching him and took out a pad and quill. He quickly scribbled something on two pieces of paper, ripped them out, and gave them to the girls. It was his autograph.
"I'm practicing for when I'm famous," he explained, winking at the girls. The boys rolled their eyes and Gilderoy strolled away.
"He's so... so dreamy..." Alex said.
"You mean you like that git?! Lex, he's so phony!" Remus exclaimed.
"Not to mention, he probably likes bologna," Sirius added, holding his fork up.
"Where did that come from?" Lily asked.
"I dunno... it rhymed," Sirius shrugged.
"You're going to the ball with LOCKHART?!" James and Julia said at the same time in different tones. Julia's tone was excited and James's was upset.
"Yes," Lily answered simply. She felt a bit guilty when she saw James's upset face. 'What am I thinking?' she asked herself. 'I'm supposed to be HAPPY he's mad.' But deep down, she was regretting it.
The next day (Halloween), they had off too get ready for the dance, buy extra things for costumes, etc. Lily, Alex, Remus and Sirius convinced Professor Smith, the flying teacher, to let the five of them borrow broomsticks. James and Julia were the only ones who had broomsticks, and they only had one each.
Julia stomped down the stairs and walked over to the couch were the tree boys were sitting.
"I dunno what to do here," she told them, referring to her face area.
"Ooh! Ooh! I have an idea!" Sirius yelled, nearly falling off of the couch with excitement.
"No. I don't trust you," she said with no particular tone in her voice. "Does anyone ELSE have suggestions?" She knew, even though she was going out with Sirius, he wouldn't give up an opportunity to pull a prank. So if he gave her advice, it would probably end up in disaster.
"Ooh, c'mon!" Sirius whined. "I have a REALLY good idea!"
"Fine, what is it?" she asked putting her hand on her waist.
"Just go out and buy some broomstick earrings! They're sure to sell them at... uh... that accessory store... I forgot its name..."
Julia looked at him and smiled. "That's the greatest idea you've had all day! And that you'll probably have for awhile."
"I can be helpful when I want to!" he said, grinning. Julia snorted and left the room.
About an hour later, she returned with a bag of stuff for her and her two friends.
"I'm ba-ack!" she sang as she entered her dormitory.
"Where were you?" Lily asked. "You've been gone forever!"
"I bought some stuff," Julia told them shrugging. She dumped the contents of the bag onto her bed and the two girls walked over.
"Aw, these earrings are cute!" Alex said as she examined the broomstick earrings. They all put on their make-up, earrings and costumes.
"What's that?" Lily asked when she was done dressing. She pointed to a fairly large book on Julia's bed.
"Oh, that? It's just a book on spells," she said. "For clothes and stuff," she added as an afterthought.
"What it for?" Alex asked.
"Do you guys really like the pants?" Julia asked.
"No," Lily said flatly.
"They're kind of big," Alex say, turning around in front of the mirror.
"This book is going to help us with that problem," Julia said with a mysterious smile.
Back in the boy's dormitory, things were going great.
"SIRIUS, WHERE THE HELL DID YOU PUT MY BLOODY UNIFORM?!" Remus yelled.
"WHAT ARE YOU YELLING AT ME FOR?!" Sirius screamed back. "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"
"Jeez, guys, calm down!" James said to them. "Remus, you're costume's on you're bed."
Remus looked down. "Oh!"
The boy's didn't take nearly as long as the girls. They were waiting in the common room for them.
"Come on, you guys!" Lily said to her friends. "We have, like, five minutes!"
"Coming!" Alex and Julia said and the three of them walked downstairs, brooms in hands.
The three boys gasped. The girls were stunningly beautiful. The first thing they noticed was that the girls had altered the uniforms a bit. Instead of pants, they were wearing skirts that stopped right above the knees and they had knee socks on. They had their hair up in high ponytails. They weren't wearing too much make-up and their broomstick earrings looked great.
"Wow," James said as he looked at Lily.
"Alright, time to go," Lily said when she noticed James was looking at her. But some part of her didn't mind.
