"I've got an idea, everyone." Lily was looking at all her friends who had gathered in her dorm room. They were perched on beds and seated on the floor. "I have decided to go to the Halloween Ball on my own." A sharp intake of breath was echoed around the room. "Lily, you couldn't, I mean you go alone is like me going with Duncan Smith or Joe Dinkle. You can't do it." "You guys don't understand. I'm going to make every single guy there want me. With the exeption of your men. And of course Sirius and Remus. I'm going for Carlton, you know that sixth year, and Logan, the guy from Ravenclaw. They're both perfect! With the exeption of them having girlfriends. Well anyway that's all I wanted to tell you, seeing as the ball is tommorow night. So see ya then!" With that Lily strode out of the dorm and skipped down the stairs. The girls staring at her as she left. James looked up as he saw Lily "Oy, Padfoot, you know Amanda Kappaha?" "Yhea?"replied Sirius looking confused. "I'm takin' her to the Halloween Ball." "Good for you, James." He said sounding very bored, James was popular every girl in the school wanted to date him. Then agian, Amanda was one of the popular girls. Very popular, less so than Lily but still popular. "Wait a minute, isn't she dating Michael Maroony?" "Was, was dating him. I, uh, convinced her to go out with me. Took me only one day." He smiled and turned to look at Lily. "So Lily, have you got a date for the Halloween Ball yet?" "Stupid question, Prongs." Said Remus airily. "Actually, Remus, I've decided to go to the ball alone." She stood tall as she said it. "All of the guys here are just not up to my standards!" "More like none of the guys here want to date an unpopular control freak" muttered James under his breath. Unfortunatly for him Lily heard. "I'm an unpopular control freak. You must not understand what that means, you just described your-self, not me." Lily turned her head and looked at Remus. "Moony, do you have a date yet?" "I'm proud to say I do, I'm going with Catherine Spinnet." "Wow, good catch Remus." "Sure is." He replied proudly. Sirius walked in through the portrait, Arabella Figg was right behind, her cheeks were a dark shade of magenta, she seemed very giggly. James looked at him, chuckled and shook his head. Remus smiled and raised his eyebrows. Lily's mouth dropped open and she stared at the two. "Arabella! Found a date I see!" She exclaimed still open mouthed. " You bet I did, come Lil's let's go upstairs and talk." She giggled, winked at Sirius and the grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her up the stairs to the dorm. "Good going, Sirius! Arabella Figg is pretty hot!" James said "Oi, Peter, you got a date yet? "NO" He replied sulkily. James laughed and turned around. Peter stuck his toungue out at him. "Why do I have such popular friends? God. why?"
