Chapter 10
The girls were almost done getting the Head Girl ready. All they had to do was fix the makeup and she was good to go. Her costume wasn't anything real special, but she liked it. It reminded her of her childhood.
~*~
The Head Boy was almost certain when he came up with his costume that she would love it. He knew that after that one comment she made that that should be his costume. He spent hours trying to get everything he needed for it. That might be all ruined now for what happened just half an hour ago. If he wasn't the biggest idiot in the world...
~*~
Lily and company headed down to the dance. Lily had to see that everything was going well in the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw common rooms before attending the dance. Everything was going well in both rooms. They seemed to be having fun. She was counting her blessings that she didn't have to deal with the other two houses though. Hufflepuff didn't like her because she held the heart of Amos Diggory and wouldn't date him. He was the prize for Hufflepuff and everyone knew it. Slytherin hated her because she was a 'mudblood'. She didn't care what they thought. She was just happy that James had to deal with them.
James... God did she hate him. No, she didn't hate him. She just thought that he was a dolt. Honestly, who comes into a girls' dorm without knocking? Idiot, oh, and she had to dance with him tonight. PERFECT!
They walked into the Hall and everyone turned to look at them. Gwen was catwoman. She was good looking and knew it. She used that to her advantage. She was dressed in all leather. She had her blonde hair down in waves. She had a leather mask that covered her upper face and a tail.
Alice was an angel. Frank was dressed up as God. She had white dress robes on with wings that made her fly if she wanted to. Her brown hair was in ringlets and her makeup was light. She looked heavenly. (a/n: hehehe...pun)
Sarah had on a yellow gown. Her hair was half up, half down. She was dressed as Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Lily had helped her pick out a good costume for the ball.
Elise was dressed as a goddess. She had a toga on with a wreath of olive leaves going through her hair. Her outfit was purple with a dark blue shall over her shoulders.
Lily didn't really want to dress up. She mailed her mom and asked her what to be. Her mom sent her some ideas. Lily didn't want to be sexy or anything special. That's why she was dressed up as Pipi Longstocking. It was a muggle book that Lily used to love. Her hair was in braids that curled up. She had on short jean cut-offs and a flannel shirt that was opened to show a camisole. She had on white tennis shoes. She also went as far as to paint on some freckles. It wasn't anything special but how many costumes can you do for red-heads?
~*~
James and the Marauders entered after Lily' group did. The girls clapped for them as they made their appearance. Girls whistled for Sirius. He was dressed in a white toga tied at his shoulder. Elise had decided that they should go like this and anything that required him to where less clothing was fine for Sirius. He had a wreath of olive leaves through his hair too. He walked through acting like he was Caesar. People even bowed to him. James, Peter, and Remus walked in rolling their eyes at their friend's antics.
Remus was dressed up as Dumbledore. He had on a fake beard and everything. He put a charm on him eyes so that they twinkled like Dumbledore's. Dumbledore came up to Remus and complemented him on the beard.
Peter was dressed as The Beast from Beauty and the Beast. Sarah helped him with his costume so that they could match.
James remembered something that Lily had said at one of their meeting. Something about "same bat time, same bat place". James researched and decided to dress up as Batman. He liked the costume as did many girls. They only liked it because he was dressed in leather. James liked it because he always wanted to be a superhero of some sorts.
~*~
After a bit of mingling, Dumbledore called for silence. "Welcome to your Halloween Ball! The teachers would like to thank the prefects for the spectacular decorations. It truly does look like a haunted house!" He was right too. There were bats flying around, pumpkins floating above, and if you stepped on a certain spot, something would come out and scare you. It would always be something different too.
"If our Head Boy and Girl would come out to have the first dance now, the Dance shall begin!" Lily and James emerged out from the crowd. James smiled at how cute Lily looked. Lily laughed hysterically, along with many others, at how funny James looked. Trying to clam down, she walked up to James and started to dance with him.
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
"What was so funny Miss Evans?" Lily started to laugh again. "Batman costume, eh Potter? How did you find out about this particular comic book hero?"
"Well, you said something about it and I thought it would be a cool idea." James smirked at her. "Plus, you love looking at me in leather, don't you?" Lily rolled her eyes and resumed dancing in solitude.
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
Yeah, that is what I really want. I do want James. I do like seeing him in leather. Oh, what the hell am I thinking? Lily said to herself. He's an idiot. He's an absolute moron. That's why I like him. Oh Merlin, I like him. It's just a crush though, nothing more. It'll go away.
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
Lily is very hypnotic. She controls me. I love to be around her. When I'm not around her, I feel empty and dead. What is this? This is Evans! Merlin, she's beautiful, funny, smart...everything I want and need. I need her.
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The crowd looked at James and lily dancing. They knew that they were perfect for each other. Girls were jealous and boys were disappointed that they wouldn't have a chance with either of them. Dumbledore looked at McGonagall and shared a 'look' with her. "It's only a matter of time," he said to her. She nodded and smiled.
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
(For) you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you'll have to follow through
So I like him. What am I going to do?
With every word you say
An I, all I really want is you (For) you to stick around
I'll see everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow
So I like her. What am I going to do?
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?

A/N: I don't really like the beginning of this chapter. I hate describing people so I'm sorry if that sucked. I loved the fluff though. The confusion kills me. Soon they will be getting together. I promise. I didn't go to school today because I didn't feel like it. My teachers are going on strike next week, so I should have more updates for you. Please review!
