Seven o' clock came and Lily was getting ready in the girls dormitory.
"I don't know what to wear!" She cried
"What about me?" Hannah asked, "I'm going out with Remus!"
Lily looked at her
"Where?"
"Hogsmeade." She answered "Why?"
"Double date is why." Lily remarked
Hannah looked at her confused.
"Sirius is taking me to Hogsmeade." Lily explained "And Remus is taking you there, it doesn't take a genius to work out what they've planned."
"Hate to mock your earlier words but, you do realize you have just called yourself an idiot don't you?" said Hannah
Lily stuck her tongue out at her.
"What are you doing with your hair?" Lily asked
"This!" Hannah answered and ran her wand across a part in her hair, which from there downwards fell to the floor. It was now just shorter than shoulder length and she added a little colour to it – Scarlet!
"Bit drastic isn't it Han?"
"Nah!" Hannah answered
Lily scoffed
"What's Remus going to say?"
Hannah shrugged.
"You don't really care do you?"
"No!"
"It goes with your top actually." Lily stated, "You really should wear a dress though instead of jeans."
Hannah gritted her teeth and muttered
"The only time you will ever see me wearing a dress will be on my wedding day."
"What about the balls?" Lily asked, "This year is out first ever chance to go."
"No!"
"Oh why are you like that Hannah? You'd look drop dead gorgeous in a dress." Lily stated.
"Why lie?" Asked Hannah.
"Oh my God! Ask anybody! Ask Rachel, Remus, Sirius or Natalie!" Said Lily
"What about Carolyn and Clare?" Hannah asked "Not that'd trust Clare since she's into pink! And I wouldn't trust Carolyn either come to that."
"Well besides Clare and Carolyn then, ask any of them."
"Technically, Remus doesn't count." Hannah said, "Since he tells me everyday that I'm gorgeous."
Lily rolled her eyes and looked at her watch.
"Come on, we're gonna be late if we don't hurry up." She said hurriedly "And put on some make-up."
"Hell no!" She retorted, "I'm not a girly girl like you and Clare – I draw the line at make-up and dresses."
She and Lily walked out and into the Common Room and saw Sirius and Remus sitting by the fire.
"I said seven!" Sirius said, "It's quarter past!"
"It's called being fashionably late." Lily pointed out. "Oh and can you tell Hannah something?"
"What?"
"She doesn't believe me when I said that she would look drop dead gorgeous in a dress." Lily said
"And she didn't hurt you?" Sirius asked incredulously.
"No, why?"
"Because I suggested that once and she broke my nose."
They laughed slightly.
"And we're going now." Sirius added quickly "Or we are going to be late."
Sirius turned and saw Hannah, mouth wide open as if he had only just seen her.
"What the hell have you done to your hair?"
"Something." She whispered "Do you like it?"
Sirius raised his eyebrows
"I'll get back to you on that."
"I love it." Remus whispered to her
"Good!" Hannah responded, smiling "'Cause I'm not changing it."
"You do realise that we have to go?" Sirius said
"Alright, alright keep your hair on." Hannah said, pulling a face "And speaking of hair, you do realise that yours is longer than mine!"
Sirius didn't answer to that, he took hold of Lily's hand and they walked out the Common Room.
"She's got a point there Sirius." Lily said, when they walked towards the passage to Hogsmeade.
"I like my hair like this." Sirius pouted.
"I'm not sayin' I don't, I just wanted to inform you, Hannah isn't taking the mickey." Lily said. Sirius raised her hand to his lips and kissed it and gave her a bad boy grin that nearly had her swooning.
They heard Hannah and Remus running up behind them.
"What took you so long?" Sirius asked
They shrugged. The four of them made their way through the passage. They soon came to a smallish building, which had candles in the windows.
