Lol. Yes I am a very fast typer. I can type 77 words a minute. also about the halloween ball being costume I was assuming that in the past it was different then the real HP books. It is what I see when I think about the past.

AND NOW THE MOMENT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!
The gang walked down to the Great Hall where the Ball was being held. Together they walked in with their dates, beaming. The entire school was there, decked out in their costumes. They walked to a round table and filled it up with their group.
"Would the Head Girl and Head Boy please come up to the front?" Dumbledore announced. Lily's eyes locked with James.
He held out his hand for hers. She took it, allowing him to escort her to the front of the room.
"The Head Girl and Boy will now share a dance." Dumbledore said. He nodded his head to the band and they started to play a soft gentle song without words attached. James took her in his arms and pulled her close to him, his eyes looking down shyly. He led her around, his face growing hot with the thought that everyone in school was watching them.
"You're a good dancer." Lily whispered, her heart pounding.
"So are you." James whispered back, swallowing hard.
"Everyone is watching us." She said softly her eyes looking around.
"Pretend that they aren't there."
"I don't know if I can."
"Sure you can. Just put your mind to it."
Lily closed her eyes and did the only thing she knew to do at this moment. she placed her head upon his chest, listening to his heart pounding rapidly inside him. He drew her closer and placed his cheek upon his head and closed his eyes, savoring the moment.
Alice smiled and rested her head upon Frank's shoulder.
"They look so cute together." She said, cooing slightly over the scene that was playing out in front of them.
"They are in love with each other." Sirius said seriously (lol).
"It is so obvious. Why don't they just admit it allow everyone to get on with their lives?" Remus pondered out loud.
"Because she isn't ready." Alice replied knowingly.
"What do you mean she isn't ready?" Peter asked.
"She isn't ready to admit that she loves and has loved James Potter." Hestia answered softly.
"She has always?" Sirius asked in surprise.
"Of course. Why do you think she has always fought with him. She couldn't deal mentally with the thought of being in love with James Potter." Nancy replied.
"That is so sad. Seven years wasted." Gretchen, Peter's date said.
"No, they weren't wasted. It would have been wasted if she had never spoke to him, never laughed with him. Never had any interaction with him at all. They became friends in their hearts even though she wouldn't admit it in her mind."
Nancy replied.
"Maybe she will see it tonight." Remus said thoughtfully.
"That would be so wonderful!" Alice exclaimed softly.
Their dance ended too quickly for either of their liking. They broke away and smiled to the crowd that was roaring in applause. Well, all except for the Slytherins. They walked elegantly back to their table of friends and head banging music filled the air, taking everyone's attention away from them and back to the party.
"You guys were so CUTE!" Alice cried, clasping her hands together in excitment.
"Um, thanks." Lily mumbled, her face going completely red.
"WELL!! Um, like let's go dance man. Nancy will you accompany me to in being silly and wild?" He asked, bowing ridiculously in front of her. She laughed and took his hand in acceptance, allowing him to drag her away.
"They can't have all the fun! Come on Remus!" Hestia exclaimed, pulling him out on the dance floor.
"Will you do me the honor of dancing with me Alice?" Frank asked with a formal bow.
"I would be delighted." She replied, curtsying (sp?) in front of him.
"Gretchen, um. . ." Peter started, wringing his hands.
"Yeah, come on!" She said with a smile, leaving James and Lily at the table by themselves.
"Thanks." James said softly, looking down at his hands.
"For what?" She asked him, slightly confused.
"For coming with me. For putting her head on my chest. For acting like you like me." James said.
"That meant alot to you?" She asked him softly.
"Yeah. See, Lily I have loved you for quite some time. Actually since the very first train ride to Hogwarts." James admitted.
"I see. James, I. . ." Lily started.
"No. I know what you're going to say. Just pretend for tonight that you love me too?" He pleaded, his eyes penetrating her very soul.
"I promise I will. Shall we join our friends, my dear?" Lily asked him. Her heart was pounding. I think I love him, she thought. She shook it away. There was no way that she could ever love James Potter. Right?
He lead her out to the dance floor and joined their friends in their wild happiness. The night slipped by and soon they were heading back to the Head dormitory for an extention of their partying (sp).
(A/N: I hoped you enjoyed that. More to come within a couple of minutes or so!)
