Chapter 7: The Halloween Ball Part 1
The day of the Halloween Ball had finally arrived. Lily, James, and the Prefects made final adjustments on decorations, food, etc. Everywhere in the castle 4th years and above were literally running around looking for last-minute dates, missing accessories, and lost shoes.
Lily and her friends were in her Head girl dormitory frantically getting ready, while the Marauders (except Peter who was picking up his Hufflepuff date) and Frank were downstairs waiting, seeing as they are guys and they don't take as long as girls getting dressed.
"Em, have you seen my blush?"
"It's right here, Lil, I'm using it!"
"Where the bloody hell is my other earring?"
"It's right by your foot, Amy!"
"Oh!"
"Is everyone ready?" asked Lily turning around to reveal her silver and black dress robes. Her hair was in an elegant bun, like her friends.
"Yes!" the other three answered excitedly.
"Well," Emmeline started, looking at her best friends, "I have to say that we clean up very nicely."
"We are going to knock the guys of their feet!" exclaimed Amelia.
"Let's go!" Alice squealed and the four walked out of the room and down the stairs two by two; Amelia and Emmeline then Lily and Alice.

Downstairs in the Common Room, James, Sirius, Remus, and Frank were standing near the foot of the staircase awaiting the girls' arrival.
"Is it me, or are they taking too bloody long getting ready?" asked Sirius.
"It's you, mate," said Remus, "You're just impatient."
"Well, they're taking too long!"
"You know how women are before dances and such," said Frank.
"Yup," joked James, "They spend about an hour in the bathroom…"
"About 15 minutes getting dressed…" continued Remus.
"About 30 minutes on their hair and make-up…" Frank continued.
"About 18 minutes on their friends' hair and make-up…" added Sirius.
"And about 5 minutes complimenting each other!" they finished at the same time before bursting into laughter.
Then, the sound of heels and female voices were heard as the girls came down the stairs.
"Emmeline!" Sirius said dramatically as his date approached him, "You look marvelous!" And he kissed her hand.
"Why, thank you!" exclaimed Emmeline with equal amount of drama, "You look positively handsome yourself!" Their friends just shook their heads with amusement.
"You look pretty, Amelia," Remus complimented.
"Thanks," Amelia smiled, "You look nice, too." (a/n: theyre juss friends ppl! Altho….. I mite juss change that… grins mischievously)
"Hey there, gorgeous," said Frank as he gave Alice a peck on the lips.
"Hey there, handsome," replied Alice.
"You look amazing, Lily," said James, unable to take his eyes off his date.
"Thank you," replied Lily, "You look good, too."
"Let's go, people! The Heads here got to do an opening dance!" exclaimed Sirius, while he and Emmeline walked towards the portrait hole.
The girls linked arms with their dates and followed Sirius and Emmeline.
