HALLOWEEN

When she got to the Common Room, she found Sirius in the same state.

"Siri!"

"Lily!"

"Remy!"

"Jamsie!"

"Dory!"

"Bunny!"

"Wait, who is Dory?" Lily asked.

"I don't know, who is Bunny? And Remus isn't even here." Sirius pointed out.

"Same here. Don't know why. First person that came to mind." Lily answered, jumping from one couch to the other.

"What did you two have for dinner? And never call me Jamesie" James asked from the couch. He was lying down, reading a book.

"Well, I had mashed potatoes and chicken, but I was saving up for dessert. For dessert, I had chocolate pie, treacle tart, candied apple, and a pack of Starburst my mom sent me. And what are you doing, reading? What's wrong with you?" Lily asked, bouncing across the room and grabbing James' arm. "Wait, you're okay. It's just some dumb Quidditch book."

"It's not dumb! Quidditch it great!" Sirius replied, indignant.

"Yea, sure. Okay! Where's Ross?" she asked, bouncing up.

"I think he's upstairs." Sirius said.

"No, he's in the library with Remus. He needed help with some homework." James explained.

"Okay. Thanks." Lily responded, grabbing a book. She threw it down after a couple of minutes.

"Aren't you going to go see him?" Sirius asked. He had calmed down and was finishing an essay for Potions the next day.

"No. I just wanted to know where he was. And since when are you doing homework?" Lily asked, finally calming down.

"Since now. It's due tomorrow and Walgner is threatening to fail me if I don't do my homework. Now, shh. I gotta concentrate." Sirius said, going back to his work. Lily grabbed her novel, sat on the couch and began reading.

"Hey, Lil. Whatcha reading?" James asked her after a few minutes.

"Um, I was gonna read House of the Scorpion, it's a Muggle book, but I just finished it. I'm going to go see a professor. Bye." She replied.

Soon it was October 31 and all the students were getting ready for the Halloween Ball.

"I can't believe it's finally here! This is going to be really fun." Jen exclaimed as the girls were getting dressed.

"Could you imagine what Snape would wear to if it were a costume ball?" Lily asked, giggling.

"Yea. He'd go as himself. And that is scary enough." Bridget giggled. Finally, after a very long time, the girls were ready. They walked down to the common room. Emily had asked Remus to the dance and they were going together. Jen, Sirius, and Bridget left the common room with Lily and Ross, Emily and Remus, and James and Kelly. They walked down to the Great Hall. Upon arriving, they noticed the decorations. Black trees were growing out of the floor, jack-o-lanterns were glowing eerily, and black cats wandered all over.

"Let's go find a table, shall we?" Sirius asked.

"Sure. Sirius? Who'd you bring?" Emily asked, frowning.

"You'll never guess." He replied.

"Sammie."

"Nope."

"Darci"

"Nada."

"Blake."

"Uh… no!"

"Alyson"

"No, but I should have."

"Fine, who?" Emily finally asked.

"Snape." Sirius answered seriously.

"Be serious!"

"But I always am Sirius." He responded gravely.

"Well, I don't think any of us knew you swung that way." Jen grinned.

"Fine. I brought… Kitten." Sirius declared. "I'm not kidding. She's right here." He said and Sirius's monkey appeared.

"Where did she come from?" Remus asked, mildly interested.

James frowned. "Did you take my cloak?" he asked.

Sirius grinned sheepishly. "Yea. Forgot to ask."

"Where did you get a monkey?" Lily asked.

"My uncle gave it to me for my birthday." Sirius shrugged.

"Okay. Well, let's get going." Kelly said, and the all began moving to the tables. They found a large table with enough chairs to seat them all. Dinner was soon served.

"How do we get our food?" Lily asked, when no food appeared on the table.

Jen looked up at the Head table and then said, "Oh, I remember. This is how it was in this restaurant called Tortall. See the menu? You look over it and find what you want. Then say you want chicken, you say it clearly to your plate. Like this." Jen looked over her menu and finally said, "Steak, medium-rare." Immediately, a steak appeared. The others were soon doing the same thing. When the whole Hall had finished with dinner, Dumbledore stood up.

"Welcome to the Halloween Ball! Now that everyone is finished with that splendid meal, let me introduce Witch's Broomstick!" Dumbledore roared. The door of the Great Hall opened wide. In came the two girls and two boys that made up the popular wizarding band, Witch's Broomstick. They stepped on to a newly-created stage and instruments appeared in their hands. They began their songs and soon the whole Hall was dancing to the music.

"Students, it is now 12:30 and this ball is over. Thank you for coming. Happy Halloween and good night." Dumbledore announce. Students all over the Hall started groaning. The Gryffindors walked slowly back to their dormitories, reliving the night through thoughts and talking.

"…That was so much fun. I hope we have more balls this year." Lily said, and the girls agreed.

"Hm, wonder why Peter didn't come, though." Sirius said thoughtfully.

"Who's Peter?" Bridget asked curiously.

"He's a third year Hufflepuff. He can't really do spell and that kind of stuff, but he's in Advanced Herbology. We met him a couple of weeks ago when Snape was cursing him. He's pretty cool. He's can get all these plants that can make you fall asleep and lots of cool stuff." Remus said. "Flaming Skies." He added as they reached the portrait.
