Chapter 24 – The Ball
Lily was walking down the stairs with Delicata and Adriana. The three of them were looking very pretty, all with similar halter neck dresses, up to their knees from the front, and long from behind. Lily was wearing a green dress, Adriana's was pink, and Delicata's was blue. The three of them had long straight hair, with silver jewellery, and were smiling happily.
All the boys in the Common Room couldn't help look at them with mouths open. The trio giggled, and approached their dates.
"Hey David," Delicata said in an innocent voice which meant danger, "Everything ok?" she then asked in her sexy French accent which left him staring at her more than ever.
"Beautiful…" he muttered.
Delicata giggled, and pecked him softly on his cheek, and pulled him in an inviting manner to the Great Hall.
Meanwhile Adriana approached Daniel, and grinned. "Hey!"
"Um, hey dude," he muttered as he smiled back. "You look very hot!"
"Thanks dude," Adriana mimicked, and the two left together for the Great Hall.
Lily smiled as she saw Ale by the fireplace wearing black dress robes just like Dan's and David's. His hair was pushed back, and his eyes sparkled as he looked at her.
"Um, hi?" she asked uncertainly.
"Wow Lil, you sure are beautiful," he said as he smiled, and transformed a red rose and handed it to her.
"Thanks," she muttered, as she gratefully took the dress and attached it to the left strap of her dress. "Ready?"
"Yeah," he answered, as he gave her his arm, and the two walked together to the Hall chattering.

Kev was waiting for Diane by the Great Hall entrance and saw her approaching him. He smiled, as he admitted, 'She does not look so bad.'
"Hi Kevin!" she called, and ran up to him and smiled. "Nice dress robes!"
Just like his brother he could afford the best dress robes, and looked simply hot as usual.
"Thanks Di," he muttered, and to break the silence asked, "Had a good day?"
"Oh yeah, just went shopping and stuff, you know. You?"
"Oh, everything ok, yeah!"
"Good."
At that moment he saw Lily and Ale walking towards him and Diane, both of them laughing. Kevin's expression changed as he saw Ale holding his girl's hands. He decided to talk to them.
"Come with me, I need to talk to my friends."
"Sure."
As Lily saw Kevin, she pulled Ale with her and Kev said,
"Hey! I was waiting for you!"
"Oh thanks," Lily said as she flashed a smile. "Um, so who's your date?"
"This is Diane. She's from Ravenclaw."
"Oh hi!" Lily told Diane as she stretched her hand, but Diane simply smiled, although the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Pleasure," Diane said sourly.
"And you're Alejandro right?" Kev asked in a careless voice.
"Yeah," Ale answered, as he smiled in a forced manner.
Sensing their discomfort Lily then said,
"Well we're going to meet the rest. You'll join us later, won't you?"
"Yes Lil," Kev said, as he looked at Diane and wished that he had not asked her for the Ball, "We might join you later."
"Great!" Lily said as she waved, "See you then!"
And Kevin watched as Ale gave his arm to Lily again, and the two left, looking like a happy couple. He couldn't help feeling jealous.

"That was a good joke!" Frankie said between laughs.
Ale had spent all the evening entertaining his new friends, who had all accepted him easily. 'He's indeed a great guy!' they had all thought, cause just like how Lily had said, he had been very friendly.
"Believe me, if Ale meets Gred and Forge, the World will be doomed!" Lily said, as they all started laughing again.
"Why?" Ale asked as he grinned.
"Well, Gred and Forge are Lily's, Delicata's, Daniel's, and my uncles!" Steve started.
"Yeah, and they're twins!" Adriana continued.
"And they're the worst masterminds in the World!" Frankie finished.
"They own a joke-shop!" David added.
"And it has the creepiest inventions, you would imagine!" Delicata said as she shuddered.
"Hmm, I got it! They seem to be wicked guys! You should introduce us, Lil!" Ale said, as he laughed.
"No Lil! Don't!" Adriana said as she faked terror, "No one will ever sleep peacefully again!"
Everyone started laughing again, until Lily's favourite song started playing, and Ale noticed her moving her feet to the rhythm, and her eyes lost in her Own World.
"Lil, wanna dance?"
"Yeah, sure!" Lily answered happily, and the two left the table, at the moment that Kev and Diane had arrived.
No one could imagine Kev's anger at that moment. 'Not only had she not bothered to talk to me,' he thought, 'but as I come to dance with her, she leaves with him!'
"Hey Kev, everything ok?" David asked his brother, as he and Diane sat down.
He wanted to yell that this was the worst night of his life, but not to hurt Diane muttered, "Yeah, sure. People this is Diane, she's from Ravenclaw."
They all smiled at her and nodded, but could feel that she had not the same character of Ale, but was instead a girl with an icy manner.
"This is such a nice song," Lily muttered, as she put her arms on Ale's shoulder. She knew that it was difficult for her to keep back from wrapping her arms around his neck, and press against his body.
"Yeah, I realised that it's your favourite song by the way you looked when you heard it. Am I not right? Isn't this your favourite song?"
"Yep, it is!" Lily answered, and she felt his hands slither on her waist and pull her slightly closer to him.
"Yeah," he muttered casually as he looked in her green eyes. "I adore your eyes."
"Thanks," Lily answered, and again she felt herself pulled closer towards him.
Soon the two were dancing slowly, and without knowing Lily had her arms now wrapped around Ale's neck, and her head rested on his chest. His arms were wrapped around her waist, and she could feel him sometimes caressing her back. Both could no longer think about the rest of the World.
Kevin was shooting daggers to Ale and wanted so much to do the same with Diane but knew better than to make Lily jealous. Firstly, he did not want to use Diane, and second, he could never betray Lily, neither in the slightest way.
"Hey wanna go outside, for some fresh air?" Ale asked.
"Yes please, it's so hot in here."
The two walked out of the door hand in hand and Kevin decided to ignore as his girlfriend left with her date and trust her.

"The moon looks so wonderful and big," Lily said as she watched the moon.
"Yeah, I just love the way it reflects on the lake. It makes the lake look so bigger!"
"Yes, it's true. You do notice certain things."
"I noticed you," Ale said, as he moved closer to her. They were seated on a small bench overlooking the lake.
Lily shivered, and he swiftly removed his cloak and put it around her.
"Thanks," Lily said, as she turned to face him and smiled.
"You're welcome," was Ale's answer. Again he was lost in her eyes, and slowly started rubbing his hand against her neck. Lily closed her eyes, and was soon breathing slowly, almost finding it difficult to breathe.
Ale felt a sort of hunger inside him, which he had never before, except when he had been with Lily. He knew that she was different than any other girl. She had put a charm on him, and slowly he leaned in, and captured her lips with his.
Lily was caught in surprise but soon found herself passionately kissing Ale, as she felt his hands travelling on her body whilst hers cupped his face.
Suddenly, just as if she woke up from a dream, she broke the kiss, and pushed his face back.
"I'm sorry, I can't do this!" she said in a frightened voice, as he gave her a hurt look.
