Thanks to story-angel for reviewing the last chapter!
Recap!
Lily opened her door and felt it hit something hard. She looked around her door to see Ceran listening into her conversation with James.
"Ceran!" Lily hissed, closing the door. "How much did you hear?"
"Just about all of it." Ceran replied, beaming like mad.
The girls were silent, and suddenly burst into several screams.
"I can't believe you said yes to Potter!" Ceran said.
"Me either." Lily said, thinking about what had just happened.
"Well, congrats I guess. But for now, I am really tired, so, bye!" Ceran said, walking to the door and yawning. "Oh, can I tell the other girls?" Ceran asked, stopping at the door.
"Sure I guess." Lily said, heading to her own bed. "Night!"
"Night."
So what happened was Lily finally admitted her feelings to James and became a couple! Now, On with the story!

October 22
Dear Diary,
Remember what I told you yesterday? Well you'll NEVER guess what happened! I was talking to James last night and I admitted my feelings for him! Turns out that him asking me out wasn't a joke! It was real! He then asked me out and said he really liked me! I said yes and then he asked if I would be his girlfriend! I said yes again! I guess I showed my Gryffindor courage by doing that; I would NEVER pluck up the courage to do that! I went back to the room to see Ceran eavesdropping! She makes me laugh, but at least the door hit her when I was trying to get in! Ha Ha! Just kidding! But it did. I better get to breakfast now. Bye!
Lily.
Lily tucked her diary away and began her way to the Great Hall. She spotted James sitting on the Head's common room couch.
"Morning Lily!" James said cheerfully.
"Morning James!" Lily replied happily.
"Ready for breakfast?" James asked.
"You were waiting for me?" Lily asked surprised.
"Of course! Now, can I escort this lovely lady to breakfast?" James asked, offering Lily a hand.
Lily and James walked out together arm in arm to the Great Hall. They could see everyone's head turning and staring at them as the Hall got extremely quiet.
Suddenly, there was a mob of whispers heard throughout the Hall about the latest couple.
Lily put her head down as James walked down the row with his head held up high, and joined their friends.
"Oh my gosh Lily! Congratulations!" Crystal said.
"Nice one mate!" Sirius called, beaming.
The couple could still hear people talking about them.
"Did you just see that?! Lily finally said yes to Potter!" said one group.
"James is taken now! All because of that stupid Evans!" said a group of girls.
"Noo! Lily finally agreed to Potter! Now Lily can never notice me!" said another group.
"Geez, you'd think people would get something better to talk about." Ceran said, rolling her eyes, already getting bored with the topic. She had a very short attention span.
The group ate their breakfast and slowly drifted off in pairs to their classes.
Lily and James walked to Transfiguration.
Professor McGonagall was amazed to see Lily and James walk in hand in hand. Ah, a day without a quarrel from the pair. Lovely. Still, it is rather odd that they are together. Hmm, no matter. Time to greet the class then. She thought to herself.
She reviewed transfiguration that they had learned back in first year with them in that lesson.

At night, Lily and James were resting in the Head's Common room.
"Hey James, if it's not too late, we should have a Halloween Ball!" Lily burst out. She had been thinking about a Halloween Ball for awhile.
"Sure, we can make it a costume ball!" James said, perking up from his near slumber mode.
"Let's go ask McGonagall!" Lily said, standing up.
Lily and James went out and walked to Professor McGonagall's office.
"Hello Miss Evans and Mr. Potter! What do I owe to this late night visit?" McGonagall asked, appearing to be grading papers.
"Professor McGonagall, James and I were wondering if it wasn't too late, if we could have a Halloween Ball that was a costume party?" Lily asked.
"And we would have a Hogsmeade visit this weekend." James added.
"If you can pull it off, I don't see why not." McGonagall replied.
"Thank you Professor!" Lily said excitedly and exited with James following close behind her.
The next day everyone was talking about the Halloween Ball.
"What are you going to be?" said one group.
"I can't believe this is so short notice! How are we going to get dates?" said another group.
"Yes! Another Hogsmeade trip!" said another group.
"I think it's so awesome that you guys decided to have a Halloween Ball! I can't wait to find a costume!" said Annabelle.
"I can't wait!" Tessa squealed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The day of the Hogsmeade trip came and everyone put on their warm clothing and went toward the exit.
"How about we split up so our costumes can be surprises?" Ceran suggested.
"Sure why not?" Remus replied.
"Ok, we'll go to Connie's Costumes." Melissa said.
"And we'll go to Wally's Wardrobe." James said.
"Let's meet at Three Broomsticks at 3:00." Lily said.
"Alright! Goodbye ladies!" Sirius said merrily.
The group split up and went their separate ways excitedly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The girls walked in happily to Connie's Costumes.
"Hello ladies! Welcome to Connie's! If you need any help feel free to ask!" Said a dark haired girl in a Connie's uniform.
The girls smiled at her and looked around.
"Oh look! Lily! They have a muggle section! Wonder what's there." Said Crystal curiously and walked over the muggle section. The other three followed and looked around.
"Hey Lily! What's this?" Asked Melissa, looking at a baby blue dress.
"Oh cool! That's from a movie called 'Cinderella'! I have always loved that movie! I love all those Disney movies!" Lily rambled. Melissa and Crystal just looked at her blankly.
Lily laughed, "She's a princess basically. There are these movies that are different and well, er, there are different stories to it." She said, trying to explain it to the Melissa and Crystal.
"They are so cool! I used to watch them all the time!" Ceran added, being half muggle herself.
"Hey! I just got an idea! We can all be one of the princesses!" Lily said. The girls laughed and thought about it.
"Hey! Why not? What other kinds of dresses are there for the princesses?" asked Crystal.
"Try the Cinderella one!" Ceran said, giving Crystal the baby blue dress. "It would look so great on you!"
Crystal took the dress and went to try it on.
"Meliss, you should try this one!" Lily said, holding a yellowish golden dress. "Belle wore it when she danced with Beast."
Melissa looked at her confused, but took the dress to see how it looked.
"Ok, Lils, you totally need to be Ariel!" Ceran said, giggling, giving Lily a pink dress.
"Fine! If I am Ariel, then you need to be Jasmine!" Lily said, giving Ceran the purple dress.
The girls were all in the dressing rooms trying their costumes on.
"Ok, on the count of three, everyone come out with their dresses on. Ready? One… Two… Three!" exclaimed Ceran.
The girls stepped out of their stalls and looked around, then began laughing.
"Wow! We look so cool!" exclaimed Crystal, laughing.
The girls decided that they liked their costumes and changed to their regular clothes before going to the register.
"Have you girls decided?" Said the woman, and then looked at their costumes. "Wonderful choices! We have accessories for your costumes if you would be interested."
"Sure!" said Ceran.
"For the Cinderella costume, we have a blue headband, gloves, and a black choker that goes with the dress." The woman said, giving the headband, gloves, and choker to Crystal. "For Belle, we have gloves." She said, giving Melissa gloves that matched her dress. "We have a pink crown for the Ariel costume, and a purple headband for Jasmine." She said, and gave Ceran the purple headband and Lily the crown.
The girls paid for their dresses and accessories and left excitedly from the store chattering about their costumes and the ball.

Meanwhile…
The guys were looking around Wally's Wardrobes and couldn't decide.
"What is there to be!?" Sirius questioned, already getting tired at looking at the clothes.
"How about we just go to Three Broomsticks and ask the girls?" James suggested.
"Or, we can wear these costumes!" Remus said, holding four costumes up.
The other three looked at where Remus was.
Sirius ran up to a costume that was white with a bit gold and looked rather different from the other three.
"THIS ONE! THIS ONE LOOKS SO COOL!" Sirius said, enthusiastic because he liked how interesting it looked. "I like this cool fluffy hat thing!" He said, and rushed to try it on.
"Remus, you take the big blue one!" James said, laughing. Remus just shrugged and took it.
"Peter, I guess you take this white one." James said, handing the white top and red bottom costume to Peter. "I guess I'm taking this one then." James said to himself. He had a costume similar to Peter's, but had blue pants matching.
The boys quickly bought their costumes, and went to the Three Broomsticks.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So! How was the costume shopping ladies?" Sirius asked.
"Psssht! No one say ANYTHING!" Ceran said to the girls. "It's a surprise remember?" Ceran continued, while smirking.
"Well I can't wait!" Lily squealed.
The group enjoyed their butterbeer and talked about the Halloween Ball.
"Hmm, we should go back, it's getting dark." Melissa suggested.
"Good idea! Let's go!" Crystal agreed.
The group walked back to the castle, enjoyed their dinner, talked in the common room, and then went to sleep, looking forward to the Halloween Ball.

To anyone still reading this Fanfic: We are SO sorry for the wait! School has been so busy. So anyways, let us know if anyone is still reading, and if we should continue this. Thanks. & don't forget to review!
We added the Halloween Ball in last minute just because we thought it might add something to the story. Haha!
Also, sorry if it seems odd and like we repeated ourselves or something, because it is going to take me a while to remember what we wrote for this fanfic. Sorry again!
Oh, and it also seems like a lot of these things are so ironic or perfectly fitting. But it is just because we like things like that, so it isn't TOO complicated! (:
Review!
