"Be careful where you put that Maggie!" Marcy shouted as Maggie clipped her hair into place.
"Stop whining, even Kat wasn't this bad and she is the whiner", Maggie shouted back.
Lily and Katherine both laughed at their friend's light bickering, Katherine smiled at Lily and looked sadly downwards. Her date had let her down at the last minute and was left with no one to go with.
Maggie finished with Katherine and turned around and looked at Lily who was still in her dressing rove.
"Lily! You are not even ready!" Maggie made tuting noise as she circled her, as she push Lily onto the empty stool, as she did Katherine and Marcy both came over and picked up various 'tools'. They all surrounded her, each taking different places.
"I don't see why I should go, beside I don't feel all well, the full moon is only a week away" Remus asked, in the boys dorm.
"Stop being a loser and get ready before I hit you over the head", Sirius told him smiling sarcastically.
While Remus and Sirius kept on arguing about the ball and wither or not Remus should go, James looked at himself in the full length mirror for what seemed the hundredth time.
Sirius could tell his best friend was nervous, he nudged Remus, and looked at James.
They both made their way over to James, and watched him for a moment before James asked, "Does this tie look right to you?"
"Just do the spell (Latin for tie me)" Remus told him as he pointed his wand at James tie.
"Prongs, I…I mean we need to talk to you" Sirius said seriously.
"Sure, what's up with you two, finally confess your love for one another?" James asked with laughter in his tone.
"It's about this bet, I know tonight is the last night…" Sirius started.
"Don't worry I will win its all sorted. I have a room set up, romantic music, candles, the whole thing", James checked his appearance and winked at himself.
"That's not what I mean, I want to call the bet off" Sirius simple stated.
"Cant back out unless you want to pay the consequences? And we all know that you don't like that girl", James laughed it off.
"I am being serious" Sirius looked straight at James.
"I know your Sirius, that joke is getting old," James laughed and looked at Sirius and stopped laughing.
"For fuck sake, I know you have fucking fallen for Evans" Sirius shouted and hit James around the head.
"What are you on about? Evans? Lily! Are you a moron, this is just a fucking bet simple as that!" James whirled around to walk out the door, to be confronted by a pair of brown eyes, which belonged to Remus.
"Calm down and sit down" Remus said calmly and pushed James to sit on the empty bed, and Sirius on the same bed.
"He is…" James started.
"He's being…" Sirius started at the same time.
"Shut up both of you, and listen carefully. We know James." Remus looked at James.
"Know what? That the sky is blue?" James joked.
"Stop acting as if you don't know" Sirius told him.
"James all I am going to say, and I am sure Sirius agrees. Do not lose love to win a bet" Remus said quietly, and motioned for Sirius to follow him out of the door.
"We'll see you downstairs prongs" Sirius turned around and walked out of the door.
James didn't reply, he didn't know what to say. He realised that the bet wasn't as important as Lily. And he was going to make sure she knew everything.
Marcy, Maggie and Katherine all stepped away from Lily, and smiled at their work.
"What have you finished?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, have a look" Maggie replied with a big smile on her face.
Lily turned around and saw herself in a new light, her face looked fresh, she had very little make-up on but she looked perfect. Her eyes were well defined thanks to Katherine who had used eyeliner to make her eyes look even bigger than they were original. Katherine had also applied a light green eye shadow to her top eyelid, which made the emerald green in her eyes stand out.
Maggie and Marcy had both worked o her hair they had it all curled and then each individial piece was clipped up separately with a few pieces falling down. She looked completely different from the Lily everyone was used to seeing in school.
"Oh my…you guys!" Lily started to tear up only to be shouted at.
"Don't cry, your mascara will run!" Katherine whipped away a few tears that had managed to escape.
"Sorry, its just I don't know how to thank you all."
All the girls hugged, each trying to avoid crying.
"We are such wimps!" Maggie laughed.
"Right soldiers, its 7 o'clock, so I suggest we all get our robes on" Katherine announced just like a Commanded Officer, and pointed to the clock.
"Sir, Yes, Sir" they all shouted back.
"Im first in the Bathroom," Maggie shouted as she ran towards the bathroom.
"No fair", "You take ages", were the only things heard from the three girls.
James, Sirius and Remus were all in the common room waiting, James was pacing back and forward, watching the clock. Sirius was impatiently drumming his fingers, and Remus was waiting for the two boys to get their dates, and get the ball over and done with.
"What's the time Mooney?" James asked.
"Two minutes more from when you asked me before" Remus replied sarcastically.
"Its quarter past 7, prongs" Sirius answered.
"She's late" James mumbled to himself.
At 7:30 the first descended down the stairs, James looked up hoping it was Lily.
Maggie walked down, Katherine followed her.
"Oh its you" James mumbled.
"That's nice, don't worry lover boy Lily will be down soon" Maggie told James.
Next down was Marcy, as she walked down Remus eyes followed her every movement.
"Mooney, put your eyes back in your head, close your mouth and say Hello", Sirius whispered to him, and pushed him forward.
And for once he followed orders, "Hello Marcy".
"Hi Remus," Maggie smiled at him.
"Oh look at this, Remus doesn't have a date, and wow look neither does Marcy" Maggie told Sirius very loud, so both people could hear.
"So it is, maybe they should go TOGETHER" Sirius shouted the last word.
Both Marcy and Remus looked at their friends, and went bright red. Maggie and Sirius smiled at the both and winked.
"Marcy I was wondering…ifyouwouldbemydatefortonight?" Remus talked to his feet.
"Pardon?" Marcy asked.
"Would you be my date for tonight?" Remus asked slowly.
"Yes" She answered, however Remus went on.
"I mean if you don't want to, you don't have to…wait did you say yes" Remus looked up to find Marcy blushing.
She nodded. Remus just smiled and stood next to her.
"My baby…" Maggie started.
"My baby…" Sirius repeated.
"They're all grown up!" They both said at the same time.
"As touching as this is, where is Lily?" James asked anxiously.
"Right here" came a voice from behind everyone.
James turned around and saw Lily.
She looked wonderful, she was wearing a soft green coloured dress, and it flowed from her waist down and was held up by two thin straps. She had a v-neck, which showed very little yet made her look sexy. The top of the dress was lighter than the bottom part, and the contrast was stunning.
"Introducing the new and improved, Miss Lily Evans!" Maggie bellowed, while Sirius made crowd noises.
"You look…" James was speechless, a million words were floating around in his head and he came out with, "Seautiful"
Lily laughed softly, "That's a new word".
"I just wanted to say that I am going to be the luckiest…" James started.
"Guy at the ball?" Lily laughed as she finished James sentence.
James laughed and kissed Lily lightly on the lips.
"Ready to go everyone?" Sirius announced to the group.
"Wait what about your date Maggie?" Katherine enquired.
"Oh yeah," Maggie moved over to Sirius, and he put his arm around her, "May I introduce my date, Sirius Black".
"One minute, you hate each other!" Marcy shouted, to Remus surprise.
"More like sexual frustration," Sirius smirked as he moved his hand.
"Dream on lover boy," Maggie told him as she removed his hand from her backside.
"This is unfair!" Katherine moaned.
"Why? What's wrong with you?" Sirius asked.
"I have no date, and its too lovey dovey in here," Katherine complained.
"Come with me and Sirius," Maggie suggested.
"Yeah, I could have a grand entrance with one girl on each arms!" Sirius started to smirk and offered his arm to Katherine.
Katherine took his arm and high fived Maggie both laughing in the process.
"You know later tonight we could have some fun…" Sirius raised his eyebrows up and down in a suggestive manor.
"How about No," Maggie told him.
"Think again, Darling," Katherine answered.
"Can't say I didn't try," Sirius shrugged the rejection off and turned towards everyone else, "Ladies, Gentleman, and Remus lets go party!"
Sirius led the way out of the common room with Katherine and Maggie on each arm. Remus and Marcy followed him stand close together, but trying to touch each other.
James and Lily were the only ones left in the common room, just as James had wanted it.
"Ready to go James?" Lily asked.
"As I'll ever be, Ready to go Flower?" he replied.
"Flower? That's what my dad calls me," Lily laughed.
"Ok, won't call you that again." James replied.
"Uh huh defiantly, unless you want me to think of you as me dad" She laughed at his facial reaction.
"Oh no, I don't want that," James moved closer, "I have a surprise for your after the ball".
"Cant I have it now" Lily pouted.
"No you have to wait," James kissed her lightly, "Be patient".
Lily laughed and pulled away, "Come along Lover Boy".
They both left the common room with theirs arms around each other, and stealing kisses every so often. Making their way to ball, they must have collided with at least three different couples, while being followed.
Duh Duhhh
Ok the next chapter will be up by Friday, I promise!
