Chapter 7:
(Isabella's POV)
A few months passed, and Sirius' and my relationship together could not have been better. The Spring ball was coming up in a few short days. As expected, I was going with Sirius, and Lily with James. The entire 'castle' was all in a buzz. One evening, Lily and I were sitting in the Head Girls' room, when Lily suddenly jumped up and said
"Oh my god! Izzy, we need new dresses for the dance..the old ones were for the christmas ball.."
This was quite unlike her because normally she only cared about her studies, but it was a nice change. I then realized that it was in fact our last dance at Hogwarts, so we deserved to be excited.
I decided to interrupt her "Lily, you need to calm down..my dress is fine..your the one who bought a green dress, for the christmas dance, not me. Plus, I doubt James will care what color your dress is..hehe"
"Your right..could we maybe find a spell to change the color of it though" So, for the rest of the night, we were asking people and looking in books for a simple charm. While Lily and I were looking for a charm, we came across a magazine that all you had to say was "Dresseo Rechango" and think of the dress in your head, and it could change even the most ugliest dress, into a gorgeous gown. We decided to try it. Since I still wanted a light pink dress, I flipped through the magazine, and found the perfect dress. I said "Dresseo Rechango" and thought of the dress. There was a small boom, and standing there before Lily and I was this breathtaking dress. It was dark pink at the top and then got lighter as it went down, reaching white at the very bottom. It was still strapless, and there were some small flower looking designs going down.
Then we started looking for Lily's dress. She wanted a light blue color that wouldn't clash with her hair or amazing green eyes. I started flipping once again through the pages, when I heard Lily gasp, I looked over and saw that she had already found her 'perfect' dress. It looked a lot more simpler than mine because of the lack of designs on it, but then again, she was Lily. It was a light baby blue color. It was also strapless, and had a long train in the back. That night, Lily and I decided that finding dresses was very difficult but that we had fun doing it. We ended up missing dinner, and just went straight to bed.
A few days later it was the day of the ball. All of the students, including Lily and I, were practically leaping with excitment. We went to all of our classes for the day, worked a bit on our homework, and then decided to start getting dressed. By the time we were in our dresses with our hair and makeup on, we looked stunning. Lily's hair was down, and curled. She had a bit of blush and mascara on. Her eyeshadow was a blueish color. My brown hair was also curled in little ringlets, around my face. I had on mascara, eyeliner, and some blush. I had some lipgloss, and some light pink eyeshadow. The clock said it was almost 8:00 p.m. so we decided that we had better start down. The boys were supossed to meet us by the top of the great staircase right before you enter the great hall. As Lily and I were approaching the staircase, we saw James and Sirius waiting there for us. I saw Sirius glance at me and saw him hit James to get his attention. They both looked at us as though we were their favorite dessert.
Sirius said "Izzy, you look beautiful" I smiled at him.
Next to us I saw James looked very nervous and was stuttering "Lily..you look very nice, umm I mean beautiful..no, I mean gorgeous..ummm"
She just smiled at him and kissed him soundly on the lips to shut him up. We all then walked into the great hall. We looked over by the punch table and saw Remus and his date. She was a Ravenclaw 6th year, named Melissa, that he was tutoring for Defense Against the Dark Arts class. He saw us and waved, he then walked over with Melissa and introduced his date. She was very pretty. She had long wavy blonde hair that went down her back. She was also wearing a light baby blue dress like Lily was. She really did look great in her dress, Remus looked very happy too. A little while after, Remus left with his date to go dance. I wonder why Peter isn't here.. I thought. Then before I could ask James why he wasn't, James and Lily took off outside for some reason, and Sirius had gone to get us some drinks. When he came back, I heard a song come on, and asked him if he wanted to dance. He said sure and steered me toward the middle of the dance floor.
I try but I cant seem to get myself to think Of anything but you Your breath on my face Your warm gentle kiss I taste the truth I taste the truth You know what i came here for So, I wont ask for more
I wanna be with you If only for a night To be the one who's in your arms To hold you tight Wanna be with you There's nothing more to say There's nothing else i want more then to feel this way

I wanna be with you Wanna be with youu (i wanna be with you yeaahhh i wanna be i wanna be with you yeah
i wanna be i wanna be baby i wanna be i wanna be with you yeah
As Sirius was twirling me around the dance floor, I remembered that he and I were engaged. Graduation was quickly approaching and I would have to leave Hogwarts. Where would Sirius and I live? He never talks about his parents, and we can't intrude upon Lily and James..oh dear!
"What are you thinking about" I heard him ask me
"Nothing.." I said.
"Well, you must be deep in thought about something because you keep stepping on my feet..they are going to turn blue soon.." we both started laughing. After a few songs, I saw Lily and James return, and Lily was smiling the biggest i'd ever seen her smile. James looked relieved. I then glanced down and saw a diamond on Lily's finger. I pulled Sirius with me and ran up to Lily and gave her a hug.
"Oh my gosh Lily! It's so pretty! Awww James you finally asked her..good job! Oh yea, Lily you have to tell me all of the details tonight alright?"
She agreed and then walked onto the dance floor with James. Sirius still looked oblivious to what was going on so I explained it to him.
"Oh..that, yea James has been nervous about it all day.." He told me.
"Poor James..well they make a really cute couple..awww their children will be so cute.."
Sirius glanced down at me when I said children. In all honesty, we had never even talked of our marriage and of children. I was nervous that he might not want children, I had always imagined living in a nice sized house with my kids running around, I wanted a baby girl and a baby boy. Maybe more..I wasn't sure. Sirius must have noticed that I looked sad for a moment because he took me outside and asked me "Isabella is there something wrong? All night you have been in deep thought, and all of the sudden when you meantioned the word children, your face fell..do you not want children" He asked me, I could sense some nervousness in his voice.
"Of course I want children..a lot of them" He smiled at me and then leaned down and kissed me on the forehead.
"Izzy, we also need to talk about some other things..like where we are going to live.." I looked up at him suprised, I swear, it's almost as if he can read my mind sometimes I thought to myself.
"You see, I already bought us a nice house by Lily's and James' house..you see James inherited a huge house in Godric's Hollow, so I decided to buy a nice sized house not to far from theirs..I hope that's alright..." He paused and glanced down at me to see my facial expression. I kissed him and said "I love you" which he returned. We both then went back into the dance. For the rest of the night, our 'group' danced, and we all had a great time. Then that night Lily and I sat up all night talking about our fiances'. Lily said that Dumbledore had said that he wanted to talk to Lily and James tomorrow though. We then went to sleep. Not knowing that tomorrow would be the start of the ruining of their 'perfect' lifes...
