Chapter 9:
The day has finally come for the Masked Ball and Lily still hasn't been asked. Lily was nervous, the dress looked magnificent on her, but what if the other students laughed at her?
But Lily wasn't the only one who was nervous about the ball.

"Come on James, what are you waiting for? 20 girls have already asked you to go, 20 and you said no to all of them, what are you doing?" asked an annoyed Sirius.
"I dunno, I just didn't want to go with them," replied James.
"This isn't about that girl we saw in that store is it?" asked Sirius
James didn't reply, Sirius and he hadn't mentioned the beauty since they saw her in Hogsmeade that day, and he was indeed thinking of her and the beautiful glow that had surrounded her when she twirled. He could never have thought anyone could have been so beautiful but she conquered him completely. Sirius looked at him, trying to read his mind but James was not letting anyone get in so Sirius dismissed the subject.

Lily sat on the window ledge watching the beautiful sunset slowly fade behind the mountains. As she looked up into the now darkened sky she saw a shooting star flash before her; she closed her eyes and made a wish –
Starlight star bright, I wish I may,
I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.
Please let me be myself tonight, let me
Be the person I was meant to be all along.
She opened her eyes and sighed. Lily just wanted to stay there forever, not have to do anything, just float away like she did on the boat at the start of the year.
DONG, DONG, Lily jumped as the clock rang 7:00pm.
"Where has the time gone?" Lily asked herself as she raced to the bathroom to get ready.
Lily looked at herself one last time. Her hair was up in a bun with curls hanging down the sides, she put silver glitter on her neck and eyelids. She then painted her nails silver as well. Lily looked over at her small pink jewellery box. She opened the lid and saw the necklace her mother had given her, it was also silver and had a shell at the end of it, she had never worn it before but when she looked at it she could see that it completed her outfit. As she put the necklace on she looked at the clock, it was now 8:55pm.
"I'm 25 minutes late!" she cried, she quickly sprayed some perfume on, grabbed her mask and high heels and ran out the door.

BANG, BANG, BANG!
"Come on James hurry up we have to go now," yelled Sirius as he banged on the bathroom door.
"Hold On" James yelled out as he put on his mask.
James decided just to wear a prince charming outfit. His mask was a plain silver one; it covered his forehead and went around his eyes, also covering the top half of his nose.
As he came out he bumped into Sirius. Sirius just wore a plain black suit with a red shirt underneath, his mask was the same as James's but it was red.
"Finally, took…." Sirius didn't get to finish his sentence as he looked at his watch.
"Time to go prince charming" he said and quickly rushed out the door.
James quickly followed behind him.
