James asked me to the ball! Wait, I forgot to ask him what kind of a ball it is. Oh look here comes a cute little house elf.
"Hello miss. My name is Jinky, and master sent me to help miss get ready for the ball. Master says that miss is allowed any dress that she wants for the masquerade. If miss will follow Jinky?" Jinky the house elf said in that high squeaky voice that only belongs to a house elf. Then Jinky began to lead me down a hallway to a beautiful room. "Miss this will be your room for the rest of your stay. Master says that Miss is to get the best treatment. Miss, that wardrobe holds the dresses and masks for the ball. If you need Jinky's help Jinky is here at your disposal."

"Thank you very much Jinky. Actually, why don't you take a seat on the bed, and help me pick out a dress color for starters?" I asked.

"Master told me of your kindness, but Master didn't say you would treat me like this! I would be honored. Usually Master's family just makes me stand and ignores me, although they treat me well most of the time." Jinky said. "In my humble opinion Miss I think a light green would go good with your hair and eyes."

"Thank you Jinky, I was thinking the same thing! Please stop calling my Miss, you can call me Lily." I said as I grabbed the light green dress. It was very silky, and had a slight V-Neck that accented my tan. It had a tad bit of shimmer to it as well. Almost as if it had been enchanted to look like that. "Jinky, I need you to help me with my hair, I need it in an elegant bun so that James won't recognize me. Is there any make-up in here?"

"Yes Lily. There is make-up in that top drawer of the vanity, and I can do your hair while you are doing your make-up, it will only take a second. Although, do you want some green shimmer in it?" Jinky asked.

"Yes! That would be perfect. I don't want to be recognized by the way I look, but by my personality. That is why I am going to apperate to the grounds, and come in with all the rest of the guests. Could you tell James that for me, once you are done of course!" I asked.

"Sure, Miss. I would be proud to tell master that, except he is at your door right now and is about ready to come in. I am sorry Miss, but he will recognize you!" Jinky told me.

"Oh well. James you can come in, Jinky is helping me with my hair, and I am doing my make-up. By the way, Jinky, didn't I tell you to call me Lily?" I asked

"Jinky is very sorry Miss, but when Master is near I have to do as house elves normally do. Sorry Miss!" Jinky said then was gone, I guess she was done with my hair.

"Lily! Wow! You like absolutely gorgeous. You will be the gem of the party. Are you almost ready?" James asked. He was wearing a black tuxedo, and where there normally would have been white there was the exact same shade of green as the dress I was wearing. His mask was black, and he had actually done something to his hear, it was the same color, but it was sleeked back.

"Ready! OMG James, you are stunning. Are you sure we aren't going to prom?" I asked. Then I started to giggle. After a moment or two I was ready to head out with James.

"My parents are going to enter first. They will both be in a hallway together, and then take a different staircase down, then introduce us," James said.

"Is that normal? I mean, at a Wizarding ball, because at all the muggle balls we were never introduced." I asked.

"Yes, and here we are. I have to get to the other side of the hall. Are you ready?" James asked me, and I nodded.

Then almost out of thin air someone said "PRESENTING HAROLD AND LILAC POTTER TOP AURORS OF THE YEAR!"

Right after that some soft music started to play, as Mr. and Mrs. Potter walked down the dual staircase. Mrs. Potter on the right, and Mr. Potter on the left. Then at the bottom their hands found each other and they spinned to look up at us. Then the same music said "PRESENTING JAMES POTTER AND LILIAN EVANS TOP OF THEIR YEAR AT HOGWARTS!" Then the same style music started to play as James and I walked down the staircase, in a similar manner as his parents. When we got to the bottom he grasped my hand in his, and music started to play. Then everyone stared at us, and James' parents, because we had to start the ball. James and I just did the normal couple dance, where as his parents did a wild twist between a tango and a waltz. Soon everybody had joined us on the dance floor, and James and I went off to the side to get some punch.

"James! Over here!" Said a sing songy voice. James and I turned around and it was Violet Patil, the sluttest girl at Hogwarts. "James, hunny, lets get away from this scum, and go somewhere quiet." She said in a seductive voice, as she took her index and middle fingers and walked them up James' chest.

Then James wrapped his arm around my waist protectively as Amos Diggory walked up behind her. "Lily, baby, want to go some place more privet?" He asked as he looked me up and down.

"In case you haven't noticed Diggory, Lily here is with somebody." James said.

"Really? Who? Surely you can't mean yourself!" Amos said with a tint of laughter within his voice.

"Actually, Amos, he is my date. Why don't you and Violet go and dance, and be together, alone?" I asked Amos. You should have seen the look on his face, he was absolutely disgusted.

"James? Surely you don't want to date the likes of her? I mean what ever happened to pureblood honor? A mere muggleborn isn't going to help you with your family's honor. No she will bring her Mudblood blood into your family. You are cursing yourself James!" Violet said as she ran away.

James' face turned a deep shade of red in anger. "Lily, if anyone EVER calls you that again, tell me who. I will take care of them," James said in a deep snarling voice.

"James, that isn't necessary. I have grown used to it. I am ridiculed at school by a majority of purebloods, and at home my sister hates me. I am also being told that I go to this stupid criminal instutition. All of the neighborhood kids were told to stay away from me. Therefore I lost all of my babysitting jobs, so I couldn't buy myself the things I loved and adored. It was the only school though that no kid in our neighborhood went to. It was the safest thing to do," I told him, but this seemed to outrage him even more.

"Wait a minute? You are treated differently at home because you having magic in your blood, but you are treated differently at school because you have muggle running in your blood as well? Where aren't you ridiculed? This isn't right," He said.

"James, it is okay. It is life, and besides, only my true friends accept who I am. They don't care about blood, and you are one of them," I said. Then, James kissed me. I freaked! "James, What are you doing? Haven't you heard of the dating rules? I also didn't think this really even counts as a date."

"Dating rules?" James asked. So I took him by the hand and led him back upstairs and into my room.

"Yes, dating rules. One of them is the first kiss should be on or after the 3rd date. The male, you, goes 90 percent, and the women, me, goes the other 10. James, I am sorry if I ruined your evening. That was really romantic and all, but I am not ready for that yet," I said to him.

"Let me guess, Lily Evans, you just had your first kiss?" James asked.

"Good night James. I think it is time that I turn in. You can go back down to the party or whatever though. And in answer to your question, yes James. You stole it from me. That isn't the only thing you have stolen though," Then I shoved him out the door, and shut it in his face. Now that it is locked, I am going to turn in.

"Jinky is here Lily. Master wants Jinky to find out if you are okay." Jinky said in that weird squeaky voice.

"Yes, and tell Master good night for me, and thank you. And I have an order for you. I would like you to make Master James his favorite breakfast, and serve it to him in bed tomorrow morning. Could you do that please?" I asked as Jinky nodded.
