On the day of the ball the girls started getting ready the moment they got up. All the girls didn't have much breakfast, but they had to have some, they didn't want to be hungry for the ball.

Since it was Sunday they had no classes but they all had homework so Lily, Ellie, Emma and Alice did their homework. They had Potions, Transfiguration, Herbology and DADA. They got it all done with four hours left till the ball.
'I call last shower' shouted Emma.

'I call first, and why do you want last?' said Lily.

'So I will be the freshest for the ball of course'.

'I call second last then' said Alice.

'Fine I'm second and we better get going or we won't be ready on time' said Ellie.

Lily ran into the shower and Alice, Emma and Ellie started to paint their fingernails.

'Hey, you never told me what you're wearing' said Ellie suddenly.

'That's because I don't know, Sirius bought me a dress and hasn't shown it to me yet, and now that you've reminded me, I should go and get it off him!' she said and ran out of the roomexcitedly.

She came back minutes later carrying a box with the Chanel sign on it, she had a big grin all over her face, she looked like a young schoolgirl.

'It's a muggle dress'

'What does it look like?' asked Lily who had just come out of the shower.

'Like this' she said and she pulled out a beautiful pouffy black dress that was strapless and around the bottom it had white lace.

'It's beautiful' whispered Alice.

'Sirius has wonderful taste' she said proudly.

'You're lucky to have him, and he asked you so you know that he wants to be with you, I was walking with him to Potions and nearly the whole of the grade asked him' said Alice.

'That happened to me to, but with James, you're lucky to have him Alice, and he asked you!' said Ellie.

'Yeah, after he asked Lily and Emma' said Alice 'and you can't talk you have Amos Diggory- like the hottest guy ever.' she said.

Ellie hopped into the shower and they resumed painting their nails.

'Do you think they expect us to dance with them all night?' asked Alice.

'Yeah, I don't expect Sirius to dance with me all night'

'Yeah not with James'

'Neither Amos' said Ellie who had gotten out by now.

Everyone looked at Lily; she was the only one with out a really popular date.

'Well I expect Frank to stay with me all night and that's what you want them to do when they ask you, or you ask them'

'I guess you're right, but say I wanted to dance with Frank just as friends, would you let me?' asked Alice.

'Of course' she answered.

'I'm off to the shower' sung Alice as she disappeared.

They laughed at her and Lily started to get dressed. She was wearing a long emerald green dress to match her eyes. She put on white heels, pearl earrings and pearl necklace. She tied her auburn hair up in a knot bun and put on some perfume. She looked beautiful.

'Well I'm ready' she said and sat down on her bed and resumed reading Hogwarts: A History.

Alice came out of the shower and Emma went in.

Ellie put on a pale pink flowing dress that went down to the floor, with an amethyst necklace and matching earringpon some 4 inch pink heels, she looked amazingShe walked over towards her bed and sat down, she started singing softly, all the girls turned towards her, she had an amazing singing voice.

Then Alice put on a pale blue dress, pale blue heels a deep blue sapphire necklace and matching earrings, she curled her hair, and left it out, falling on her shoulders.

They all sat down and talked about whether going to the dance made them a couple.

Emma came out when there was half and hour until the ball.

She put on her dress, black heels, diamond necklace and matching earrings.

They all went down to the common room and the guy's were all waiting.

'Wow, you look beautiful' said Frank to Lily.

'Thank you, you look handsome'

'Thanks'

James was watching Lily and Frank this whole time and he hadn't even noticed Alice who was trying to get his attention.

'James?' said Lily.

James snapped out of his daydream and greeted Alice.

Sirius and Emma kissed each other on the cheek.

'You look really nice in that dress' he said sweetly.

'Thanks for getting it for me, that was really nice of you' she said.

'That's ok, anything for you' he said and she kissed him.

He's so bloody sweet. Emma thought to herself and he such a good kisser, how the hell am I meant to resist the charm?

'Cough cough' said James.

Thanks James, just when it was getting good, I'd rather not go to this stupid ball and just sit her with her but it will make her happy thought Sirius.

'Can we go down stairs now; I kind of want to see Amos' said Ellie. I don't want to sit here and watch Sirius and Emma snog; I want to go down and snog my guy.

'If we must' sighed Remus who would rather have stayed in his bed reading but Sirius had made him come. What was the point anyway? he didn't have a date.

Ok, now please review! The next chapter will be the ball!

Luv ya, from Em and Ellie
