"Em!" Isabella screamed
"What?" Em said sleepily from her bed.
"Get up! It's Halloween and we are going to the great hall!" Isabella said.
"Alright, don't get your knickers in a twist!" Em said getting out of bed.
"I'm, you, oh shut up!" Isabella said throwing on a shirt and jeans.
"What are you doing?" Em asked her.
"Um, changing?" Isabella said.
"No, there's a costume party tonight aren't you going to throw on something a bit warmer so we can go to hogsmeade and buy costumes?" Em asked.
"Aw, shit!" Isabella screamed.
"Watch your language!" Teased Katy who had just gotten up.
"Yea, someone might actually care," said Madison looking at Lily warningly.
"Well anyway I'm not gonna get a costume from Hogsmeade!" Isabella said.
"Oh, really," Em said, "And where do you suppose you'll get a costume?" She asked curiously.
"I am going to order it from a catalog," Isabella said pulling out Witches' Impremium.
"The costume wouldn't arrive for days!" Katy said.
" No in this magazine you tap the stuff you want and say your bank number and they get money and your outfit or item appears instantly," Isabella explained.
"That wicked!" Madison said.
The girls crowded around the magazine and someone said, "Who made this magazine?"
"Um someone named, Mrs. McKinnon," Isabella said.
"Someone ought to tell her she's bloody brilliant!" Madison said.
The girls flipped through the magazine and into the Halloween section. There were hundreds of costumes and everything so the girls began to ponder which to get. Eventually they chose to go as fairies. Em chose an olive green one to compliment her skin tone. The dress went two inches above the knee and had a jagged hem. It had two thin, clear, cross straps and came with green slipper/shoes. The girls changed Em's hair to a lighter brown, seeing Em, is a metamorphmagus, and did her hair up in a loose bun with a curly piece of hair hanging.
Katy chose a midnight blue dress matching her eyes perfectly. The dress was the same as Em's but Em's wings were pure white, hers were silver. She chose to have the slippers too and her hair was pulled into a ponytail.
Madison's dress was pink, despite her complaining. It was also the same as Em's including the slippers, but her winks were white with a pink designed. Her auburn hair a was straightened and left down.
Isabella had a violet dress to match her eyes and the same style dress as Em's. She also had the slippers and like Madison her hair was down. Instead of straight her hair was curly. Her wings were gold.
The girls had figured out that if you did a group costume you could make a grand entrance. So the girls enchanted themselves so they could fly temporarily or so they thought. (A/n grins evilly I love the broomless flying and soon so animagus action may occur. sips hot chocolate thoughtfully) By 6 that night they were ready. The four walked down into the Gryffindor common room to find it deserted. They exited the common room and made their way towards the Great Hall. Once they reached the entrance they stopped to find a suit of armor ready to announce their arrival. "Names?" it asked.
"Call us the Fairies of Hogwarts!" Em said creating a group name off the top of her head.
"Announcing the arrival of the Fairies of Hogwarts!" The suit of armor cried enthusiastically.
The doors sprang open and the girls flew in. Still in the air Katy grinned and winked flying quickly in a circle before conjuring up a floating chair with the word KATY printed above it. Madison performed some outstanding quidditch type moves with a silver ball of light before sitting on her own floating chair. Em did a twirl and curtsied before sitting on her chair. Isabella did a series of flips and landed on her chair. Their was a silver, gold, white, and pink bursts of lights and the words Fairies of Hogwarts were formed and the chairs slowly landed on the ground.
Loud applause met their ears and they grinned. Before they could thank their audience another group was announced, "The Devil Marauders!" cried the suit of armor and once more the door sprang open. All dressed in red James, Sirius, Remus, and Felix (replacing peter) rose from the ground. Red flames shot up and spelled out 'Beware! Felix conjured up the words "The devil Marauders" and did a back flip landing on the T emitting silver sparks from his wand. Remus walked up in the air and sat on the D. James jumped up onto the letter M. Sirius rose up until he was above them and shot fire out of his hands. The fire formed each member's name in red. Their was a burst of applause and the boys fell back to the ground.
"It wasn't as good as ours," Katy bragged to Felix.
"It was better!" Felix shot back.
The smiled and Felix offered his arm in the first dance. "I always knew she liked that boy," Madison claimed.
"Yea, sure," Isabella said sarcastically.
Their conversation was cut short when they saw Em and Remus dancing rather closely. "I knew it!" they heard Sirius scream, "Remus fancy's Emily!" he shouted again earning a glare from Remus and causing Em to blush.
"Is that right," Em said teasingly.
"Actually yea," Remus said.
"What, um, I," Em stuttered considering her options.
She did what seemed most reasonable. She ran out of the Great Hall. Isabella and Madison grimaced shaking their heads warily. "Idiot, girl," Madison muttered.
Remus stood on the dance floor and sadly bowed his head in shame. "What are you doing?" Katy screamed at him causing everyone to laugh.
"Go after her you idiot! RUN!" She ordered.
Remus, startled, did as she said and ran after Em. The Great Hall burst into fits of laughter and finally calmed down when the Weird Sisters started playing a fast song. "Would you like to dance?" Gideon Prewit asked Madison.
Madison looked at Isabella as if asking permission and Isabella nodded signaling for her to go ahead. Gideon seemed too noticed so he signaled for his twin Fabian to come over. Fabian asked if Isabella would like to dance and she smiled and nodded. So the two couples walked on to the dance floor to engage in a dance. Isabella and Fabian danced happily. The latter remained unaware of the glares he was getting from a certain teenage heartthrob. They continued dancing until five minutes to midnight when Remus and Em walked in hand in hand. Sirius wolf-whistled and the couple blushed a shade of pink. "Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!" the crowd chanted. And as the clock chimed midnight Remus and Em shared their first kiss. Applause echoed through the great hall. But, the crowd was soon kicked out for the dance was in fact over. Fabian kissed Isabella's hand and asked to go to the next Hogsmeade visit with her. Isabella accepted and flew out of the great hall to catch up with Em, Katy, and Madison.
Later that night in the dorm the girls were eager to hear all the details. Em eagerly spilled.
Flashback- Outside-
Em sat near the lake and took of her slippers. She dipped her feet in and thought to her self. She wondered if she should have just admitted her feelings. But It scared her. Em was supposed to be a player not in love with someone. Then she realized it if she was in love there is no turning back. But, she had blew it her chance of being with Remus was gone. Footsteps sounded from behind her and Em brushed away her tears but didn't turn around. "Mind if I join you?" came the gentle voice of Remus Lupin.
"No," Em said quietly still not looking up.
Remus sat down next to her and said, "Look I understand if you don't like me but you have to know how I feel about you."
"But-I," Em started.
"No let me finish," Remus said silencing Em, "Em when I am around you my heart pounds in my chest. All I can think about is you and I wonder if you'll ever like me. I think of your soft hair softer than a cloud. And your brown eyes so like everyone else's but filled with knowledge one can only wish to have. I think your heart it's a heart of gold and not once have you lied to a boy you dated. You may have only spent a day but you never lied and said you loved them. I think you deserve honesty back, so I'm not going to lie and say that way I feel about you is nothing. Because to me, you're my life."
Em's eyes filled with tears. Not once had someone ever been so nice to her. "Remus I love you!" she cried throwing her arms around him.
And Remus knew she wasn't lying. They lay like that for hours just being with each other.
-End-Flashback-
The girls gave a collective sigh and hugged their friend with happiness. Soon way past three the four fell asleep on Em's bed and for once everything was perfect.
