Ch 3 The Costume Contest
The year started to pass by quickly, (Lily's filled with annoying
conversations with her head about James and Remus), and soon everyone's
minds were on the Halloween Feast. There was rumor that there was going
to be a contest for best dressed, and they ALL wanted to win.
The weekend before Halloween there was a Hogsmeade trip scheduled so
that everybody could get their costumes. Lily and her friends had all
decided to help each other pick out their costumes, and they all agreed
that Lily's was the best.
The Marauders had done a similar thing, but they couldn't decide whose was better: James' or Remus'.
*
On the day of Halloween classes were let out a few hours early so that the students could get ready for the contest. Lily's friends spent at least an hour on just her make-up, and her hair took another 45 min. They just threw on all of their costumes because they knew that Lily was surely going to win.
The students came into the great hall in little groups, and were surprised to see that the professors had dressed up, too. Dumbledore was a muggle toaster, McGonnagle was a cat, and so on. The hall was decorated as usual, with 10 glowing pumpkins, bats flying around the ceiling, and black and orange decorations all over the place.
Everybody was there but a few places were missing. The marauders walked in and gained a few gasps and giggles from the rest of the students.
Peter was a rat, (To match his animagus form and his personality) Sirius was a bright yellow duck, Remus was a vampire that mad him look very handsome, and James was a pirate, which accentuated his dark features.
As soon as everyone had settled done, Lily's friends entered, and then they ushered Lily in.
She looked beautiful. She had decided to be a fairy, and the dark green dress that came with it made her eyes stand out. Her friends had put on glitter all over the place, and she had even done a spell to make her wings flap slowly like a butterfly's when it rests on a flower. Her hair was done into and intricate bun, with many different twists and twirls.
"Wow." said James while staring at her. Remus did the same, but he couldn't say anything.
She sat down and the food popped up from within the table, and everyone dug in.
Once everybody was done, Dumbledore stood up and said, "Now, as you all know, we are having a costume contest. There will be one male and one female winner. Our finalists are: Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter, Mary Lambs, Meredith Jones, and Lily Evans. If you will all come to the front, please."
Sirius jumped up and ran to the front, followed by the rest of the contestants.
"You all may be wondering how we are picking our winners, but it is really very easy. We have done a spell that will read your minds for who you think should win, and they will all show up on this platter." Dumbledore said, holding up the platter as he spoke.
Eventually, all the contestants were eliminated except for Lily, James, Remus, and Meredith.
"And our winners are. Lily Evans and. there seems to be a tie for our male first place winner! I guess that Lily will have to have two winning dances!"
Lily gasped and blushed. She hadn't known that she was going to have to dance with the other winner! A light music began to play and the tables disappeared, leaving a perfect dance floor. Students began to flow onto it and she felt a light tap on her shoulder.
She turned around to see James in a very low bow.
"May I have this dance?" he questioned.
Lily sighed. "Yes, I suppose."
He took her out onto the dance floor and began to slowly move her back and forth. She looked up at him. His costume really did make him look handsome, even more than usual.
"What am I thinking?!" she thought to herself. "I never thought he was handsome! But he is being romantic tonight."
She buried herself deeper into his shoulder, and he didn't say a word. Inside his heart was glowing, but he would never show it.
At the end of the song there was another tap on her shoulder, and Remus requested a dance. She was actually sorry to leave James, but she knew she had to.
Remus swept her out onto a different part of the floor, and she soon forgot about James. She gazed into his eyes and saw that they were a beautiful shiny blue, with flecks of a light green. Before she knew it, their lips had met and she was being sucked into a different world. To her surprise, she remembered James, and the way she had danced with him, and the way her head had fit so perfectly into his shoulder, and the way it had made her feel. and before she knew what she was doing she had broken off. (Of the kiss. duh!)
"Sorry" Remus mumbled, staring at his shoes. Lily didn't know what to do. She had enjoyed the kiss, but why had she felt guilty about James. She looked at Remus and kissed him, pushing the thought of James out of her head.

Sorry if that seemed kinda short, and I'm sorry about how long it took me to update. I hope you liked it. (And don't worry, Lily and James will eventually get together=)) Thanx to GlitterGreen for her help on my costumes! And no, I didn't copy her idea about Lily being a fairy. I wrote that part before her seventh chapter and I thought that she was going to make Lily an angel. PLEASE tell me if you liked it!! Sorry, I can't hear you. Nope, a little louder. Still can't hear you, so maybe you should just write me a review and tell me! Sounds good to me! Thanx!!
them to me!
