Thank-you everyone who reviewed Chapters 5 and back!! =P

Last Chapter Ending:

'Got you there prongs,' Sirius joked. James was fuming.

'Fine! Be that way!'

'I will! I like it this way!' Lily started to eat again as James stormed off to the kitchens to get some food.

'Baby!' Lily called after him.

'Takes one to know one!' James replied.

Chapter 7: The Ball of Balls: Preceding time

Amos Diggory was very sour. His girlfriend had dumped him for the last guy she would ever have dated, He had no date to the ball, and every Gryffindor hated him.

He felt very relieved to find out that neither Lily Evans nor James Potter had dates to the ball either.

"If I could get Lily to go to the ball with me, then my reputation would be restored" Amos thought.

'Don't waste your time,' a familiar voice whispered in his ear. He turned to find Lara Turncoat from Slytherin behind him.

'Why?' Amos questioned.

'I've been after James for a few years now, but it seems that he only really has eyes for Lily.' Lara stated matter-of-factly.

'Ok...'

'So I take it that you don't have a date to the ball...' Lara continued.

'No...'

'Good. Pick me up at the entrance hall around 6 p.m., don't be late!' And with that, she disappeared into the shadows.

This was just what Amos needed. Someone to make Becka jealous with. He'd ditch her, and Becka would come... ready to be his, and if he was lucky, some of her friends might come along for the ride too.

Attention all students from 3rd year and above: A Hogsmeade weekend has been organised for tomorrow and Monday only. Please use this time to buy gowns etc. for the forthcoming ball.

-Professors McGonagall and Dumbledore

'Hogsmeade! Alright!' Sirius and James gave each other high fives.

'We'll use tomorrow to buy a dress, makeup and jewellery for the ball! And Monday we can go to a beauty spa before the ball' Lily and Arabella cried together.

'Yeah!' Frances and Becka agreed.

The four girls walked up the stairs to their dorm, when Arabella suddenly blurted out.

'Guys, we need a group name!'

'Arabella? Where did that just come from?' Lily asked, a little puzzled.

'The marauders have a name, so we should too... how about, Godric's Angels?'

'Sounds good to me! What do you think Frances?'

'Good for me Becka, Lily, what do you think?'

'I'm still a little puzzled where that came from but, sounds good!'

The newly named Godric's Angels walked up to their dorm, and hopped into bed.

'James! What are you doing here?'

'Lily, I'll protect you! Stand behind me!'

'James?! What the hell?!'

A dark figure approached the two, and it spoke.

'I have waited a long time for this. The Potter line shall die out now before anything more will come! The child of James and Lily Potter must never be born!'

It struck James down with a single hex, and disapparated.

'James!'

'Lily... I want you to know that I always have, and always will love you...'

Deep in my soul, a love so strong it takes control.

'No James! Don't die!' Lily clutched his body with all her strength.

Now we both know, the secret's there, the feeling shows

'James, I love you too. Dear sweet James, don't go!'

Change, and fall apart, I'll make a wish on a shooting star.

And there will come a day, somewhere far away.

In your arms I'll stay, my only love.

Even though you're gone, the love will still move on

The feeling is so strong, my only love,

My only love

'James! How could you do something so stupid! Don't go!'

And there will come a day, somewhere far away.

In your arms I'll stay, my only love.

You've reached the deepest part, of the secret in my heart.

I've loved you from the start, my only love.

There will come a day, somewhere far away.

In your arms I'll stay, my only love.

You've reached the deepest part, of the secret in my heart.

I've loved you from the start, my only love.

My only Love

Lily leaned in and kissed James' lifeless lips.

'I love you James'

Lily woke in a cold sweat.

"Could I love James?"

The next morning, everyone was bright and cheery. Today they went to Hogsmeade, and then tomorrow was the ball!

Lily kept her dream to herself. If she told anyone, and James found out, she'd be dead.

Amos Diggory seemed the smuggest brat throughout the whole of Hogwarts. He strode through the hallways, grinning, and flirting with any girl he saw.

Unfortunately, he passed Godric's Angels.

'Hi ladies! Hope you're having a good day,' He said, with a stupid grin on his face.

Becka, Frances, and Lily's hands immediately went to their wands.

'Piss off Diggory,' Lily spat.

'Ooh, feisty. I like that in a girl,' and he grabbed lily's waist, and pulled her into a long kiss. Regrettably, the marauders walked up just in time to watch this little charade.

You could practically see the smoke erupting from James' ears. Sirius and Remus ran to the aid of their girlfriends, just in case. James, however, took the more direct approach.

He walked up to Amos, tapped him on the shoulder, and decked him. Lily pushed Amos off, and then did something that no one expected, including James.

She hugged James, and thanked him for his assistance. James was stunned.

'And, if the offer is still open, I would love to go to the ball with you as a sympathy date,' The rest of Godric's Angels, and the marauders' jaws dropped to the ground.

"Lily and James? Who would have ever thought?!" The eight 5th years went into Hogsmeade together, and then separated. The Angels went to 'Madame Chic's robes for all occasions' and the Marauders went to 'Wee Monsieur: Robes for the young man'.

'Meet up with you guys later at Florean Fortescues?' Becka asked Sirius.

'Sounds good to me =P' Sirius grinned, gave Becka a peck on the cheek, then ran off with his friends.

At Madame Chic's, The Angels were trying on what seemed every dress in the shop.

Becka settled with a blue stringy top, with a long skirt of the same material that shimmered when she walked, and changed from blue to purple in different light.

Frances went for a long sleeved black dress that had silver and gold sparkles weaved into the fabric, which went from the top, right down to the floor.

Arabella chose a simply designed dress that was a royal blue, sleeveless and very, very, very long.

Lily didn't choose, but had chosen for her a long emerald green dress to match her eyes, with different shades of green woven in, and small gold glittery sparkles. It was sleeveless, and brought out Lily's eyes magnificently.

Once they had finished shopping for dresses, the Angels went to 'Shoetree and Bootelyn' for the shoes to match.

Lily chose a pair of platform slip ons, that were green, to match the dress, but had a tinge of red to them.

Arabella decided on a pair of strappy high-heels that were a metallic blue.

Frances settled for a pair of stilettos that, like the dress, were black and had silver and gold sparkles.

Becka went for a pair of Light blue, like her dress, sparkly platform slip ons that shimmered and had sparkles in them.

Finally, they went to Florean Fortescues, and waited. James and Sirius chose not to go shopping for robes straight away, but they went to Quality Quidditch Supplies instead.

When they eventually left the Quidditch store, the headed to Wee Monsieur. (A/N lame name eh?)

James picked out a set of Black Dress robes, and Sirius chose some Lilac ones as a joke. They looked so good on him; he just had to buy them.

Remus chose some blue grey robes, and Peter chose some rich green ones.

The boys paid, and then went to Florean Fortescues to meet the Angels. At Florean's, James and Sirius bought the biggest sundaes that he could offer, Remus: the second largest, Peter got the Lime sundae with Lime sauce and neon green marshmallows, And all of the angels got the small death by chocolate. (A/N Mmm death by chocolate! Mwhahahahahaha!)

'Hey Guys, we'd better get to the Bella Rouge beauty spa and book for tomorrow!' Arabella exclaimed after finishing her sundae.

'Yeah, you're right! Hey guys, we'll split the bill. Here's 4 galleons. We've got to go!' And The Angels ran off.

'Can we keep the change?!' Sirius called after the four girls. Didja like chapter 7? I'll write more about the ball in Chapter eight! Remember
