The Halloween Ball Part 1
~*~*~
A/N: And I'm back! I wrote some of this chappie in my Social Study's class while we were watching a boring movie. So..here you go!
~*~*~
It was the day. The really important day..well, to some. It would be the day of the Halloween Ball..or dance..either way. Everyone, mostly the girls, were already freaking out about it. Some..in other words, Lily, Kayz, and MoMo, didn't really care.
"It's not like this'll be the most remembered night I'll have," Lily muttered through the hallways. "No, wait, I take that back. This'll be the only ball I'll attend while James is expelled..hopefully the only time."
"Don't worry," MoMo said. "It's nothing big and fancy."
"Yeah," Kayz agreed, then she lowered her voice. "Tomorrow's the full moon and Remus looks dead pale and greenish. You know, as you would look when you're sick. Sirius and Peter are trying to fix him up now."
~*~
"Don't worry, Remus," Peter said. Remus, Sirius, and Peter were in the common room trying to Remus less pale and sickish.
"Yeah, don't fuss. Sheesh," Sirius said, grinning.
"Well, something about you pointing your wand at my face makes me a little skeptical, Sirius," Remus said, moving the wand away from his direction.
"Oh, come on. You wanna look better before the dance, right?" Sirius said, crossing his arms. Remus sighed.
"Do you even know the spell?" he asked.
"Well.." Peter said. "Sort of. We haven't practiced much."
"Practice then!" Remus said, his eyes already huge from before when Sirius walked in smiling with a wand. "I'd rather go like this then go without a nose!"
"Remus, come on," Peter said. "Please? I know he won't mess up on this!" Remus looked from Peter, to Sirius (who was throwing his wand in the air, but missed catching it so it hit him in the eye), to the mirror, which showed a really non-human-like Remus.
"Fine," he finally said. "Just hurry up with it..but please try to not kill me." Remus closed his eyes and Sirius looked at the book with the spell, concentrated, then said it carefully . . . .
"Do I look less pale?" Remus asked, eyes still closed. No one answered. "Hello?" He finally opened them to see Sirius and Peter looking at him with wide eyes. Remus heavily sighed and held out his hand. Sirius slowly gave him a mirror and Remus held it up to his face. . .
"I KNEW IT!" he shouted. "I DON'T HAVE A NOSE!"
"I dunno how that happened!" Sirius said. "I did the spell exactly how it said to do it!" He took the book and looked at it again. Slowly, he looked up with a heh-heh expression and an apologetic smile.
"What is it?" Peter asked.
"I got the Non-Paler spell confused with the No-Nose spell. Don't worry, though!" Sirius said when he saw Remus clench his fists. "It can easily be fixed. Let me try again."
"NO! YOU ARE NOT AT ALL POINTING YOUR WAND AT ME ANYMORE!" Remus yelled. "Peter, YOU do it!" Before anyone moved, Remus threw the closest book to him at Sirius's head.
~*~*~
"Guys, you should REALLY get ready for the ball," Lily said, looking at her watch. "There's only an hour left before it starts."
"Oh? That much time?" Kayz replied, looking up from her book. MoMo was also reading.
"Yeah, we'll get ready in a second," MoMo said.
"I think you should get everything organized at least," Lily said.
"No, that's ok," Kayz said. Lily looked at her and MoMo then sighed.
"Guys, you don't have to act like you don't care about the ball just because of me and because of James getting himself expelled," she said. Kayz and MoMo slowly looked at her. "Go on, get ready before you run out of time."
"Are you sure, Lily?" Kayz asked, biting her lip.
"Yeah, we can stay a little longer," MoMo said.
"No, go up and get ready! I will later, I'm not going right away, anyways," Lily said, shrugging. As Kayz and MoMo were getting ready, Lily started to read her book. There was absolutely nothing to do. She decided to go to the library quickly to get a book to read (A/N: before I forget, Remus and Sirius already left lol. Yeah that came out of no where lol).
**IN THE COMMON ROOM**
"We only have 8 minutes left," MoMo said, looking at the clock on the wall (A/N: Muggley huh? Lol).
"That should be enough," Kayz muttered as she tried to put her shoes on. She was wearing a sparkly sapphire and a shimmer white dress that frilled to the floor. Her hair was down a little passed her shoulders in thick soft curls.
Finally, she got her shoes on and stood up to get use to them. Instantly, she fell face first into the floor and her shoes went back off.
"Smart," MoMo said, brushing her hair. She had a shiny, silk dark green dress the fell perfectly to the floor. Her hair was straight and, unlike a lot of people who brush their hair, unstaticy. (lol). Again with the unlike, she could wear her shoes without falling like Kayz. They were soon almost ready for the ball.
~*~
A lot of people were waiting outside the Great Hall for their dates and everything was noisy.
Remus was feeling a little queasy. He didn't know if it was about the ball/dance, or because tomorrow was a full moon. Either way, it made him sick to the stomach.
Sirius looked perfectly normal, like this was a day-to-day thing. Though from the inside, he was very VERY nervous indeed.
"Remus, why are you shaking?" Sirius asked, eyebrows raised.
"I am?" Remus asked, looking at his shaky hand. "Well, what do you know.." A minute later, MoMo came down the stairs.
"Hey, guys," she said, smiling. Sirius almost had his mouth wide opened until Remus kicked him.
"Hey, MoMo," he finally stuttered and Remus shook his head and smiled. "You look nice tonight."
"Thanks," MoMo said. "You, too."
"Hey, MoMo, where's Kayz?' Remus asked.
"She said she'll be down in a minute," MoMo said. "We'll see you guys in the Great Hall soon." She and Sirius walked into the Great Hall. By now, half of the place was empty, but even so, there were still a lot people. Remus gulped a few to get the lump in his throat to go away when he saw someone who stood out from everyone else.
Kayz (who mastered the weird shoe walk lol), started to carefully walk down the stairs that led to where Remus was standing.
"Woah," Remus whispered to himself. "You look beautiful, Kayz."
"Thanks, Remus!" She said, smiling. "You look handsome as well." She knew she was blushing, and Remus also was. There was an awkward pause, and neither of them talked, or even looked, at each other. It was one of those times where you didn't want to ruin the moment..though, they needed to get going. (lol).
"Well," Remus said, breaking the silence. "Shall we go to the Great Hall?" Kayz nodded and smiled with relief that it wasn't so silent. Remus held out his hand to take Kayz's, which she took without any hesitation, and they walked into the Great Hall.
It was full of students, 1st year to 7th. Everyone had a date, though maybe it was because you couldn't come unless you had one (thanks to Professor McFrant). Remus and Kayz looking around for MoMo, Sirius, Lily, and Peter. (Since you needed a date to go to the dance/ball, Lily and Peter pretended to go together to get in.) In the corner by the food and drinks, Peter was sitting there eating some chips. Next to him was Sirius, also eating some chips, and MoMo who was having a drink. (A/N btw, NOT beer or anything lol). So, of course, Remus and Kayz headed towards them.
"Why are you dancing?" Remus asked them as they sat next to them.
"It's just the beginning of the dance, duh!" Sirius said. "We're waiting until later when the better music comes on."
"Where's Lily?" Kayz asked, looking around for her, but didn't see anyone.
"I dunno, she went off somewhere," MoMo said, also looking around. "It amazes me that she got ready in so little time, AND in the girl's bathroom. She apparently had all her things there and she was going to go hurry there and come here in just a few seconds." Suddenly, a nice slow song came on and the lights dimmed a tiny bit. (A/N hey, this ain't no make-out party lol).
"I'm thinking this song is pretty good?" Sirius asked MoMo, and she smiled and nodded in agreement. They got up and disappeared into the thick crowd on the dance floor. Peter excused himself to the bathroom, leaving Remus and Kayz by themselves.
"Would you like this dance?" Remus said in an old fashion voice with a nice fluent accent, making Kayz laugh.
"No, not at all, Monsieur," Kayz said in the same fluent accent, trying not to laugh. She took his hand and he lead her to the dance floor towards practically the middle of the room. Remus put his hands just above Kayz's hips, while Kayz put her hands around Remus's neck. They swayed gently back and forth with the beat. Even though the lights were dim, Remus could see clearly into Kayz's eyes. . . .
~*~
Lily was sitting on the other side of the room where Remus, Kayz, MoMo, Sirius and Peter once were. She wanted to avoid them, but she didn't know why, exactly. What Lily did know was that she really wished James was there with her. It was their last year at Hogwarts, and who knows if they were going to have another dance/ball again.
In the middle of the dancing area, Lily could see Remus and Kayz slow dancing, and smiled. She knew how Kayz was set on being single for the rest of her life because she was so sure no one would ever like her back. Now, there was Kayz, dancing with her true love, or how Lily would put it. It seemed that they were going to be together forever, but love isn't always what it seems at times.
'She doesn't need to worry,' Lily thought to herself. 'It's true love.' That made her start thinking of James and tears swelled in her eyes.
'I know the dance just started, but I'm calling it a night,' Lily said, but before she got up, the Great Hall doors opened and James walked in. . . . .
~*~*~
A/N: DUN DUN DUN!!!!!! I love leaving cliffies..but not reading them. Well, more on why/how James is here and more on Kayz cuz there hasn't been much.
Oh, and I REALLY am sorry for the lack of updation. I've had HUGE writer's block and I've been lazy. I'll be better at updating this, I promise!!! PLEASE REVIEW, THANKS!
