Last time:
"Kadasa, would you like to go to the Christmas ball with me?"
She giggled then raised her chin and stood straight. "Yes good sir, I think I would."
He grinned and kissed the back of her hand. "Good!" He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "So it makes you feel better to know that you're going with a good looking young lad eh?"
"I thought I was going with you," she said innocently and he scowled at her then grinned.
"Now, you're going to have to help me prank some people."
She cried out in happiness. "Now there's the Sirius I know!"
"And love?"
"And is friends with."
He scowled playfully and snapped his fingers. "Almost had you."
"You'll never catch me."
"And why not?"
"Because no one can," she replied slyly then winked. "G'night Sirius."
"Night Asa." She turned and walked back down the tower to the Head Girl's dorm and he sighed but looked back at the stars. A shooting star shot across the sky and he smiled. I will catch her someday.

Two days flew past faster than anyone could imagine. By Friday afternoon, the last minutes of classes were spent with people glancing at the clock then at the teacher then back at the clock. McGonagall had, had enough of this and charmed the clock so no one could see it. Sirius, while she wasn't looking, transfigured one up front, that way people could look at the clock and McGonagall would think they were paying attention to her.
As soon as they bell rung, half of the girls in class disappeared, the other half, mingling for a little before leaving. Kadasa yawned as she stood and stretched then turned to Sirius, waiting for the mad rush of getting ready for the ball to leave before she'd actually move.
"So, what are we planning for tonight?" she asked.
He opened his mouth only to be interrupted. "As long as it doesn't have to do with food or punch, you're good," Lily said. "Dumbledore already warned us against a repeat of last year's fiasco." Kadasa and Sirius grinned fondly at that memory.
"Kadasa. Lily. The classroom's cleared out," Sam announced. "Shall we go get ready?"
They nodded and stood, Kadasa patting Sirius on the head. "Get some plans together. We need to create some couples and/or create mayhem and destruction to Slytherins and Gordon."
Sirius nodded. "Sounds good. When shall we meet up to discuss?"
"It'll have to be during the ball. Lily and Sam are going to chain me to a chair to get my outfit perfect."
Sirius snorted as she was dragged away by her friends. He stood and turned to James and Remus. "Shall we go get ready?"
"Let's." James grinned wickedly. "Remus and I have something to discuss with you." Sirius gulped.

Kadasa climbed out of the shower and dried off, yawning as she waved her wand and she was instantly dried off, except for her hair, which Laverne would be fixing up. She made her way to the dressing area. Lily being the wonderful Charms female that she was, created two huge rooms. How, Kadasa had no idea. But she did. The first room, was for years 1-4, the second room 5-7. Each room could hold about 20 girls comfortably. Seeing as there was only 11 girls in the second room, they fit quite nice.
There were as many dressing tables as there were girls, mirrors lining one wall, the other showers and dressing rooms, hooks on the wall beside a girl's dressing table for their dress, their make up and accessories scattered over their tables. In the middle was a huge pillow area for them to sit on and munch on the food Kadasa and Lily had just snuck up from the kitchens.
There were three from fifth year, Anne and her twin sister Sarah, and their best friend Raven Summers.
The four sixth years went to visit their friends in Ravenclaw to get ready for the ball.
There were all five seventh years, Lily Evans, Kadasa Mori, Samantha Selene, Laverne Murasaki and Katrina Kurone.
Raven Summers was one of those quiet girls who sat back and watched, took everything in, then made her decision and left no doubt about it. She also had the quickest wit Kadasa had ever seen. She had black hair that was pin straight and fell around her elbows. Her eyes were such a dark shade of blue they looked almost black.
And there were three out of five from fourth year, Emily Cornwell and her best friends Isabella Verano and Jasmine Yaamoli.
Emily Cornwell was a cute little red head that looked too young for her age. She had a pale tone to her skin and honey brown eyes, freckles splattered over her features. She was one of the quickest to loose it to her emotions and start crying but when needed was brave for her friends and always stood up for them, even if she didn't stand up for herself.
Isabella Verano, who'd informed them her name meant Summer in Spanish, was from Spain. She had tanned olive skin and amber brown eyes, her chocolate brown hair with gold highlights pulled into a ponytail. She was always seeming to argue about something, but made sure she had a point before going into an argument. She stood up for her friends to an extent where she'd get in trouble just to give the boy a black eye for pushing Emily around. This included several detentions last month.
And the final newcomer was Jasmine Yaamoli. She was quiet and didn't speak much, a lot like Anne except she would push people around if they got in her way. She'd had hardships with her family so she didn't take kindly to any kind of abuse or teasing from anyone to anyone. She had deep violet eyes and her dark, dark brown hair was braided down her back. Her skin was a deep olive since she was from India. Yaamoli, Jasmine said, was Hindu for melodious.
The reason the fourth years were with the wrong group was because of the other two fourth years, who just happened to hate their fellow dorm mates. To avoid tension trying to get ready, Sarah and Raven invited (told forcibly) them to join their gang before the ball.
Kadasa pulled on a comfortable pair of blue cotton pajama pants and a grey baby tee shirt before walking over to group and sitting between Kat and Emily. "Ah." She sighed happily. "I love showers." They all laughed.
"I do have to agree, showers are a wonderful thing," Isabella agreed in her accented voice.
Kat sniffed. "I don't particularly care for getting wet."
Sarah gave her a dull look. "That's because you're a cat." They all laughed again and just relaxed, music playing from the small stereo Lily had brought. There was still about four hours till the ball and while every other girl in Hogwarts was frantically getting ready, they decided to relax.
A knock at the door made them turn. Sam got up and walked over and opened the door then smiled brightly. "Remus!"
"Hey Sam," he grinned. "If you guys aren't in the middle of getting changed, you think I could hang out with you for a bit?"
She blinked then nodded and opened the door. He stepped in and waved to everyone.
"Remy!" Kadasa cried and vaulted at him, hugging him tightly. "I thought I'd never see you in forever!"
He blinked then frowned in confusion. "Kadasa… that made no sense…"
"Knows I do!" she chirped and skipped back over to her spot. He glanced at Sam who rolled her eyes and shrugged.
Hooking his arm with hers, he allowed her to lead him back to the circle, sitting between Sam and Laverne. Going around the circle was Remus, Laverne, Kat, Kadasa, Emily, Jasmine, Isabella, Raven, Sarah, Anne, Lily, and Sam.
"Poor Remus," Laverne joked. "Stuck with all these girls."
He chuckled. "Makes me wonder if you're talking about me."
"No," Kat said looking at her fingernails. "We're talking about our times of the month."
He froze then flushed furiously. "Um…" They burst into laughter and figuring out he'd been tricked he tossed a pillow at the cat eyed girl who ducked and grinned at him.
"So what are you really doing?" he asked.
Sarah shrugged. "Not much. Munching. Want some?" She held up a bag of chips.
"Yum. Thanks." She nodded and pulled another bag out from behind her. He blinked then shot a glance in Kadasa's direction. "Let me guess who supplied you."
Kadasa grinned. "Supplied you as well." She tossed a chocolate frog at him and he grinned.
"You're lucky Sirius isn't here right now," Remus stated. "All these would be gone."
"I know."
"That's why he's not here," Lily said dully. Another laugh spread throughout the group before they began talking about Hogsmeade visits.

Remus left forty-five minutes later, giving them just over 3 hours. Since everyone had showers, they began planning out what make-up and hairstyles to wear with their outfits. And this is where they reached the problem.
"Kadasa! You have to wear some make-up!" Laverne argued.
"No!" she cried.
"Kadasa!"
"No!"
"Ka-"
She stuffed her face in a pillow so all they heard was muffled yelling. "Noooooooooooooooooooooo -gasp- ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Raven sweat dropped. "I was going to say that Sirius needs to see you."
She looked over. "Huh? Why?"
"I dunno. Said something about something."
She gave the dark haired girl a dull look, the other raising her eyebrows and looking innocent. She scoffed and got to her feet. "Fine." She opened the door and stepped out then looked around. "Sirius?"
"ELLO!" he shouted leaping next to her.
She screamed and beat him with the pillow she'd been holding. "Ow! Ow! Hey! Ow! Kadasa!"
She blinked and pulled the pillow from his head as he scowled at her. "Oh. Hi Sirius!"
"Jeez you hit hard. You should've been a beater, not a chaser."
"Hey!" Sarah cried from in the room. "That's my job!"
Kadasa stuck her tongue at the blond who returned the action before turning back to Sirius. "Whatta ya want?"
He scowled. "Is that anyway to treat your guest of honor?"
"A guest of honor wouldn't have just scared the hell out of me."
"Aw. Poor Asa… wait…" He grinned widely and dashed past her grabbing the chocolate frog on the dresser. "Mine! Chocolate! Sugar!"
"No!" she wailed and flew after him as her friends laughed. "Sirius! Chocolate makes you hyper!"
"So? Makes you hyper too."
"But I can contain my hyperness to just annoyance! You start cursing people!"
"Oh yeah…"
She pushed on his back, trying to get him back out the door. "Out! You're making Sarah nervous!"
"He is not!" Sarah shot back.
"Shut up Sarah!"
"Aw… so mean to your friends Asa."
"Out!"
He faked a pout before patting her on the head and stepping out the door. She shut it behind and began to walk back to the group when there was a knock, twitching she turned and flung it open.
Sirius grinned. "Can I have some more chocolate?"
"No!" She slammed the door.
Knock knock knock.
"What?"
"Please?"
"No!"
SLAM!
Knock knock knock. She flung it open. "WHAT!"
Remus blinked. "Oh… I um… is Sam still there?" She sighed heavily and stepped back, Remus stepping into the room. "What did I do?"
"Sirius," Lily stated, still grinning. "Kadasa's just embarrassed."
Kadasa flushed. "I am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are-"
"Okay!" Isabella cried. "We get it. Kadasa likes Sirius and Lily just wants to taunt."
"Yup!" Lily chirped.
"NO!" Kadasa cried, now beet red.
Remus cocked his head. "Hm… this could prove an interesting relationship."
She scowled at him. "What do you want Remy?"
"Just to inform both Lily and Kadasa that James and Sirius have decided that something something something, pranks are to be pulled, something something something, they will most likely be blamed, something something something. Don't drink the punch." Everyone just blinked at him. He bowed elegantly. "That is all my captive audience," he said. "See ya later Sam." He then turned and walked out of the room.
Kadasa and Lily glanced at each other before letting loose giggles. Soon everyone was laughing uncontrollably. Remus smiled and shook his head outside the door then grabbed the broom Sirius had lent him to get up the stairs and flew back down to the boys dorm.

Strumming her fingers, Katrina Kurone, more often called Kat (due to any number of various injuries she would inflict if ever called "Katrina") sat at her small dressing table, watching her friends flutter about to get ready. She smirked at Kadasa who was wailing and running away from Sarah and Laverne who were trying to put make-up on the blond who clearing didn't want any of the substance on her.
Anne, Raven and Jasmine were watching in silent amusement as Isabella berated Emily, jokingly, for the color of her hair and how difficult it was to find a shade for her while Emily blushed and giggled nervously.
Sam and Lily were sitting on their own seats, talking about something, most likely homework, Kat thought until Lily tossed her hands up in aggravation and Sam smirked. Now Kat was almost sure it was probably about Potter because of the familiar look of stress and anger on Lily's face. Kat smirked lightly then turned to find Kadasa screeching because Sarah had finally tackled the girl and Laverne was trying to put make-up on her. Kat rolled her eyes as she stood and walked over to help the unfortunate girl. Why did she feel like she'd regret it later?

"Padfoot… Pads… Sirius! I know you can hear me. Just cause you've got your head stuck in your shirt doesn't mean my voice doesn't penetrate the fabric."
Sirius made a face then violently tugged the shirt down over his head. "Leave me alone."
"Aw come on Pads!" James chirped happily, looking at himself in the mirror and trying to fix his tie. "Don't deny it. We all know you do."
"I don't like Kadasa," Sirius growled. Remus rolled his eyes, sitting in the armchair that somehow made its way into their dorm, reading one of his textbooks.
"Yeah but you did ask her out to the Christmas ball with you," James said, straightening his shirt.
"That's because everyone else had someone to go with."
James looked at Sirius' reflection in the mirror. "You've had all month to ask someone else."
Sirius glanced at him then away and scoffed, crossing his arms. "She's been my friend since I first met her. Nothing more."
James nodded. "That's good. You like her for her. You still think she's pretty but you like her more because she's herself around you."
Sirius stared at him then turned around, his back facing his friend. "James. You are out of your mind." James sighed and shook his head.
"But…" the quiet utter made James turn to look at him. "If… if I did… what would you say?"
James walked over, putting an arm around his shoulders. "If you did, I'd give you both the best of luck and well wishes." He messed up Sirius' hair making the other boy cry out in distress. "But of course, you don't so I guess I'm not giving anything up."
Sirius opened his mouth then shut it, shaking his head before he grinned. "Now about you and Miss Evans…"
James groaned. "Oh. She'll be so happy to dance with me."
Sirius grinned mischievously. "Oh yes. Tonight will be fun."
From the corner a scoff came and they both jumped and looked over, Remus resuming his reading. "Figures. You guys go all brotherly then turn to annoying the hell out of our female counterparts."
They both faked a gasp. "Remus Lupin!" they cried in union. "You said hell!" He gave them a dull look and tossed a textbook sitting nearby at them.

James saw movement out of the corner of his eye and looked over slightly to find Sirius yawning, running a hand through his hair. James immediately ruffled his, a nervous habit. Remus was leaning against the wall quietly, not fidgeting, not checking on his image or anything. His eyes were closed and he looked totally at ease.
Then why am I feeling so nervous! James scowled at the floor.
"Uh… Prongs mate?" He looked up at Sirius who glanced at the floor then back at him. "Did the floor do something to make you angry?"
James rolled his eyes. "No. I'm just so bloody bored!"
They heard Remus snort but he didn't move and both dark haired males turned to glare at him before his eyes flashed opened and he stood straight for the first time in fifteen minutes. They raised an eyebrow and glanced at each other.
"Moony?" James asked. He nodded towards the stairs and they turned to find the girls walking down them.
Kadasa wore her royal blue dress, the one she'd gotten the other day. On her feet were silver high heels, about an inch high that had flat bottoms and buckled around the ankle and had a strap over the right above the toes. On each wrist she wore several thin silver bracelets and the sides of her hair were pulled into a braid, leaving the rest down.
Lily had her hair swept up into a bun, a few lazy strands framing her face. Her dress was emerald with a low neck and spaghetti straps. The back was open until the base of her back where it U'd. Her shoes were gold high heels, criss-crossing up her foot. She wore a necklace, a gold chain with a quarter sized emerald heart dangling from it.
Sam had also pulled her hair into a bun except for two strands in the front, which were curled, curiosity of Laverne. Sam wore a cream colored dress with only one sleeve, the right sleeve, billowing out and falling to her fingers. The left side cut off right under the arm, cutting diagonally above her chest and back. Each side of the dress was cut up to her mid thigh. She wore brown suede boots that came halfway to her knee and zipped up. She wore small gold dangling earrings and a simple gold choker.
Kadasa was currently telling them something funny, because Lily and Sam were laughing at her. Sirius rushed up behind her.
"Kadasa!" he chirped. The blond shrieked and stumbled, the only thing saving her from a messy fall being Sirius' body in the way. She gripped his arms then stood up straight and glared at him.
"What was that for!"
He shrugged. "It was funny to watch."
She rolled her eyes. "You're such a jerk."
"You know it love. Come on. I think Jamesie wants to tell Lilykins how beautiful she is, how he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, then go make out for the entire night."
James and Lily turned bright red. "SIRIUS!"
He grinned as well as Kadasa then held out his arm. "Shall we fair lady?"
"We shall good sir," she replied and took his arm and they headed into the great hall, Sam and Remus having already disappeared inside.
Lily scowled, still a pretty pink, and crossed her arms. "I can't believe him."
"Well… you are very beautiful," James muttered.
She looked surprised then turned a shade darker. "Thanks…"
He held out his arm. "Come on Tiger Lily."
She grabbed it. "So you'll be a semi-gentleman tonight?"
He grinned his famous Potter grin. "Of course. I do have to make fun of you some time." She rolled her eyes but felt much better about tonight. He led her into the Great Hall and her eyes widened. Even though she'd planned the decorations and music and helped with everything, she'd never thought it would work, never thought she'd live down the fact that her and James couldn't get along long enough to plan this.
But…
Everything was perfect.
She glanced over and found Kadasa and Sirius grinning and huddling close together. She sweat dropped. Okay… maybe not so perfect…

Author's Note
Finally! Updation! I've been practically boycotting fanfic! Sorry everyone! Every time I went to start this I'd go ah… dun feel like it. And go filter somewhere else… most likely to bug my family.

So I'll start having outtakes at the bottom of the page okie-dokie?

Next Chapter Preview:
Lily frowned as she stared at the dance floor. She wanted to dance. But she'd have to dance with James. Head Boy and Girl had to have the opening dance. Soon enough they'd have to get up and go dance.
"Lily?" She turned to look at James who grinned and bowed. "Would you do the honors of accepting the first dance with myself to prove our love?"
She blinked then smiled before extravagantly saying, "oh dear James! Oh course I would! I love you so much! You're so cool!"
The nearby table went silent and everyone stared. They rolled their eyes.
"Merlin. No appreciates good sarcasm these days."
