Chapter 4: The Leather and The Lace.

The next day came and Severus found himself missing out on a trip to the local wizard village, Hogsmead. He instead was stuck studying history, and rethinking about the last night with the others.

"Hey Snivels, come over here and sit with us." A voice broke through the cloud of thoughts that were the goblin rebellion of 1947,

"Huh?" Snape looked up from his notes and saw the faces of his enemies, Black, Potter and "special" Lupin. Those dummies.
"Hey to yourself. I am busy, beat on me later please." Snape said and made to grab another book.

"Oh no you are not. Buddy we have a deal to finish and a miracle to accomplish." James said briskly closing Snape's books with a snap!
"Yeah so come on mate. Lets talk over at our table." Sirius said.
"I am not your mate!" Snape said through clenched teeth.
"Well you are for a week then its over!" James said harshly.
"You did promise." Lupin said serenely

"Why, you're so keen Lupin! Maybe you are the one who is in love with miss prissy Sam Moore! I may actually pity you Black" Snape said. Sirius said nothing but he clasped his hand around his wand.

Lupin blinked, "What ever Snivellius lets just get it over with then I can fall in love with Prissy Sam and you can run and marry your beautiful star gazer freak!" Lupin said coolly.

"I hate you Lupin! And I hate her as well, in fact I hate you all!" Snape said tersely.

"Come on!" and with that Sirius and James grabbed Snape by the armpits and hulled him over to their table.
"Alright then lets start with…" Sirius started to think
"The hair." James said firmly.
"You are not even coming close to my hair or I'm castrating you." Snape said viciously then paused, "Unless you already are, wouldn't surprise me one bit."

"Get stuffed Snivels."

"Fine!" Snape sighed and put his head on the table not looking at any of them.
"I don't give a crap any more."

"Good!" Sirius said.
"Speaking of looking cool, Snivels I am shocked to find myself liking that leather coat of yours where'd you get it?" James asked and indeed, others had actually complimented Snape that week, for the fine black leather coat he wore. It bore three pockets; two normal pockets and one small pocket on the left hand side on the chest.

"Gee thanks. Not really but since you asked…" Snape seemed to enjoy having something that James didn't have.

"Where did you get it, siriusly?" Sirius said. Lupin made a face at the lame pun.

"My father bought it for Christmas in Nevada." It was the way he spoke and the heat burning off of him at the mention of his father that Sirius decided to change the subject.
"Cool." He said then Sirius turned to Lupin and James, "What next?"

"Okay, what now?" Sarah asked the girls surrounding her and Sybil.
"Alright then how 'bout the shoes?" Sam turned to Sybil, "What size are you?"

"Oh about a size 7 1/2 and not too much heels okay?"

"Good point that would make you waaaaayyyy taller then Snape. Not good since you're already the tallest here."

The girls unlike the boys were wondering the wizard shops in Hogsmead village.
"Well what dress is she going to have, pink, mauve or orange?" Lily asked walking down the street ahead of the others.
"How about a pale blue?" Kirkley asked. The others nodded their approval, "I would like that." Sybil said softly staring into a shop selling quills.

"Ok, so we have the dress figured out, now the shoes will of course have to match." Sam said swiftly.
"Yeah, and the make up too!" Sarah said staring at Sybil. She always seemed to have a cold, hard look when she glanced or stared at Sybil.
"We could probably do that right before the date." Lily said quickly. She then hesitated, "I think we should cut or change your hair." She said in a rush. Sybil thought for moment then spoke, "Fine I can life with that I mean its just hair right?"

"Yeah just hair." Kirkley said sarcastically. Kirkley was well known for her long, sleek and shiny hair that she always kept in check.
"Ok, so lets go get the dress and shoes seemed to." Sam said, her voice showed that she was actually enjoying this.

"Ok." The others all agreed and the girls started to look for the perfect dress.
"Hey check this one!" Lily said over a quarter of an hour later, the girls were still searching for the perfect dress.

"Ooooooo, I like that one!" Sam said.

"Try it on!" Kirkley smiled.

"Yeah that's a nice one." Sarah said.

And with that Sybil was rushed into the changing rooms. She came out wearing a pale, soft blue dress. It clung to her torso tightly then it flowed in even softer material, to around her ankles finishing in elegant lace. The sleeves also finished at her elbows in the same lace. It gave Sybil a surprising royalty look.

"You look…" Sam was lost for words. "Amazing." Kirkley finished for her.

"I think we have a winner." Lily said softly then she gave a huge grin, "Lets get it!"

"Good! Now lets move on to the shoes." Sarah said smiling slightly as well, "But we can all agree that we are so going to win!"
"Great now lets move on shall we." Said Lily and the girls started to shop for other date related things.
