'I have an idea first, I know I'll end up rushing mine but, I want Severus's day to be special.' I said.

'How?'

'We take him shopping.'

'He won't agree and isn't it slightly.. gay?'

'Not really, I mean at the muggle shops, does your father stand there wondering how many more dresses your mother has to try on, and says every one is lovely?'

'So true..' She said.

'So.. I was thinking, since it's truly romantic, is we get him a blue corsage for Kiara, since she likes blue, and she has had a blue dress stored away.'

'A suit, would he have one?' Lily said, checking through a muggle magazine with a formal guide in it. (Formal is the same as a Prom.)

'Don't know, but a Midnight blue tie would be nice.. and a hair cut..'

'Something to lack off the grease?'

'Yeah, and he will be done!' I said waving my arm in the air in triumph.

'Oh – Chya!' Lily said High fiving me.

(-)(-)(-)(-) Flash forward.

I got dressed in my tube dress, in a khaki green with yellow, orange and white frangipani flowers on the corner. Lily did my hair in plaits at the sides and tied them at the back, so it looked like a tiara on my head. I wore my black pearl necklace, the emerald earrings and the bracelet from Sirius.

'You know what I want. I want a ring. One on my wedding finger.'

'Wait till you're engaged!

'Or friendship bands, I saw them, they're called promise bands.'

'Well we will see.'

'You sound like my mother.'

'Well, I plan to have children someday! 3 or 4!'

'Wow. Big family!'

'Yeah.' Lily said.

'So, shall we get going?' I said, picking up my tote bag and filling it with my purse and journal.

'Sure thing.' Lily said stashing a bag full of coins into her shoulder bag.

Lily was wearing a green off the shoulder top and a white frilly skirt. Her hair in a loose pony tail. Need I say that James couldn't keep his eyes off her.

'Want me to wipe the drool, Mr Potter?' I said walking past him.

'Urr, no.' He said sheepishly.

'That's good.' I said.

'You guys going to do shopping?' He said.

'Yep Ball gown.' I said.

'Ooh cool, who you going with? Did Sirius finally get his arse into gear and ask you?'

I glared at Sirius as he propped his head up from reading at the table.

'I am going with no one, doesn't mean I am not going to have a good time, just because I am too ugly, melodramatic and psychologically mentally saner then most, that I didn't get a date.' I finished, with the word date sounding like date-ta.

'Rightttt.' James said looking at me weirdly.

'You're not ugly.' Remus said from the table.

'Oh Bite Me Remus Lupin.' I said through my teeth, slamming the door on the way out.

'God.. Is she on her rags or something?' James said rounding onto the table.

'No she isn't' Remus said.

'And how, exactly, would you know that?'

'Cause she complains to me when she does, and I haven't heard no complaining.'

'Come off it, it's PMS.'

'Actually, I think it would be a combination of 'Plainly Men Suck' and 'Pass My Shotgun.'' Remus said scribbling out an answer.

'Why, on Earth, would she be like that?'

'Perhaps PMS stands for 'Poignant Malodorous Scum.'

'Sirius.. what did you do?'

'Nothing.. and thanks for the support Remus.'

'It's her words not mine!' He said facing his palms towards Sirius in the air.

'We better get going to Hogsmeade I guess then.' James said, grabbing his bag, while the other 3 got their stuff together.

They all congregated in the courtyard until Professor McGonagall had arrived and they moved their way towards the exit.

A tap was felt on my shoulder as Lily and I went through the archway.

'Hi.'

'Ello.' I said.

'I don't exactly want to come, but, I suppose it's a once in a lifetime thing.'

'You will enjoy it, Severus!' I squealed.

'I hope.'

'Soooo, Hows you and Kiara?' I said smirking.

'We're only going to the ball together.'

'Sure there's no.. spark?'

'Wouldn't know.'

'Very well.' I said disappointed.

'What about you and Black.'

'Don't even talk to me about that git.' I received a nudge from Lily.

'What?!' I said as she pointing to Sirius behind us.

'Let him hear.' I said.

James trod on the back of my shoe. I ignored it, as you do.

He did it again. I sighed heavily, showing my annoyance.

He trod on it once again.

'James POTTER!' I said turning on heel.

'What?!' He said innocently.

'Did I tell you how annoyingly innocent you are today.'

'Oh but you do every other day, so you are excused.'

I rolled my eyes and kept walking.

'I like those rings you know.' I said to Lily and Severus.

'I still don't think you should get one for your wedding finger!'

'Well chances are, I won't get any where near a wedding anytime soon, so I couldn't care less.'

'Well oh ok, as long as they are thick gold bands with the scribe F4L.'

'F4L?'

'Friends for Life.'

'Aww that's so cool!'

'Gold would match the necklace.' Severus said.

'Yep.' I said rubbing the pearl.

'Get your own girl, Snivellus.' Sirius burst out.

'Oh, and who's guy is Hopes?'

'I am.'

'Oh Pigs Arse.' I said turning around.

'See, she even disagrees.' Severus said.

'Shut your mouth, Snape.'

'Don't tell him to shut up!'

'What in the world is going on here?' Matthew Jacobs, the Head Boy from Ravenclaw, said.

'Matt, can I ask you something, away from these guys?'

'Sure.'

'Look, even if you have someone to go to the ball with you, You would be doing me a HUGE favour, if you walked me into the ball.'

'Well, I don't have anyone to go with, so sure, I'll take you.'

'Thanks.' I smiled.

'There's no room on the Prefect table though sorry.'

'It's ok, I'll sit with my friends.'

'Ok, well coming in with me means, entering and dancing at the start and finish. As Well as a few interval dances, because I say so.' He grinned.

'Sounds good. See you then.' I said.

The marauders were gone when I met Lily and Severus, outside the dress shop.

'Ok, well we'll get your stuff first, Severus, so you can then go do what ever.'

'Ok. What first?'

'A suit and tie.'

'A.. suit?'

'Yes. And a blue tie to match Kiara's dress.'

'Ok..' He said.

We bought the suit and tie, and parted with Severus, before we would meet up with him later.

Lets get out dress!

Ok, so we tried on many dresses. But the one Lily chose was beautiful. It was Dark Shimmer green at the top, going black at the bottom. It was strapless. She had black strappy highheels to go with it.

My dress was an elegant black and gold, with it black all the way with gold speckles over it. I bought black heels also. I got some gold hair extensions for my hair.

Then we went to the jewellers. The stuff in the window was gorgeous. We entered the shop and browsed the counter. A Pair of rings were sitting at the front, gorgeous in silver, and a pair of gold bracelets.

'Silver rings?' Lily said in disgust.

'Is it possible for a masculine sized friendship ring and a female one?'

'Yeah, aren't you lucky to actually have a guy as a friend.' The girl said behind the counter.

'Yes Indeed I am.' I smiled.

I tried the ring on my thumb. Yes that size would fit perfect. I tried my ring on my wedding finger, and that fit also. Perfect.

'Anything else?'

'Yeah those bracelets.'

'Anything engraved on them?'

'Yeah, I'll start with the rings.'

'Sure thing.'

'Masculine, on the top write Remus, on the bottom write F4L and on the female, write Hope on top and F4L on the bottom.'

'Sure.'

After a little wait the girl came back with the rings in cases.

'The bracelets?'

'F4L and on the back, Hope and the other Lily.' I said.

'Sure thing.'

After all, these were gorgeous.. They cost shit loads. Any who, they're certainly worth it.

I placed my bracelet on my wrist, and Lily did on hers.

'They are beautiful!' She said.

'Yeah.'

'And that ring is so pretty.'

'I agree.' I smiled.

'To the three broomsticks?'

'Hell yeah.' I said, collecting my things and placing them in my Tote bag.

But guess who was already there.
