"And? How was the visit?" Alice demands as I return to the Gryffindor common room.
"It was actually really fun," I say truthfully. "With who are you going to the Ball with?" I ask them.
"Frank," Alice says again.
"Marlene? Dorcas? Mary?" I ask the girls.
Marlene turns a deep shade of pink and Mary looks away.
"Sirius," Marlene whispers almost inaudible.
"I'm not going with anyone," Dorcas says.
"Well, hey, I'm not either!" I laugh, shoving her.
"Mary?" Alice demands.
"Peter," Mary whispers.
"PETER! FROM THOSE THREE BOYS, YOU CHOSE PETER!" Marlene explodes.
"Well, I couldn't take James or Sirius because I thought it wouldn't be nice to you and I don't know Remus very well," Mary explains to the red-in-the-face Marlene.
"I'm sorry Mary," Marlene apologises.

In the week until the Ball, James and I went to Dumbledore for our ideas and he loved them. I also showed the girls my dress and they loved it, they had beautiful dresses too.
James and I also got along more and better.

On the day of Hallowe'en, the girls and I had decided to go upstairs immediately after the Feast.
"Happy Hallowe'en, everyone!" Dumbledore says, clapping his hands making the food appear.
The feast goes on and we all eat loads.
"James, can I have the fudge?" I ask James.
"What's the magic word?" James teases.
"Accio fudge!" I say, catching the fudge. I stick my tongue out at James and laugh.
"Good one Lilykins," Sirius remarks.
I give him a stern look but then burst out in laughter. Whoops, that one is going to haunt me for a long time. We carry on with eating and eventually we decide to go upstairs and to get ready. We have till nine so that should be enough time.

We all put on our dresses and we then do each other's hair and make up.
Suddenly Dorcas jumps up and runs to the toilet. We hear her throwing up.
"Awh, poor thing!" I exclaim, going to her.
"Lily!" Mary exclaims.
"What?" I ask a little annoyed.
"Don't go there, you might get sick too!" Mary continues.
"I don't mind!"
I walk into the bathroom and hold back Dorcas's hair.
'Are you okay?" I ask when she washes her mouth with water.
"Kind of," Dorcas replies.
"You should stay here, I'm sorry but I'm not letting you go to the Ball!" I apologise, stroking her back.
"I'm sorry too Lil, now you have to go alone," Dorcas cries.
"It's fine Dorcy! Honestly!" I reply, tucking her in her bed.
"Thank you!" Dorcas thanks.
"Accio bucket!" I say, catching the bucket. "Here, for if you have to throw up again!"
