*I know this picture is from the Yule Ball, but I thought it was pretty so whatever*

It's 3:00 pm, 3 hours until the Christmas party, when an owl comes bursting through Marls' window carrying a large package with my name on it. There is a card on top so I rip it open first.

Dear Lily,

Merry Christmas! The package is part of your Christmas gift. The rest will be coming later. I picked it out myself, and I hope you love it. You'll look beautiful tonight! I just want to let you know that your father and I are so enormously proud of you, and I am so happy that you have your friends to support you. Petunia also wanted us to tell you to have a Merry Christmas. We love you! Also, this is for the party at Potter Manor.

Love, Mum

I snort (not the most attractive thing) and turn to Marls and say, "Yeah, I'm sure Tuney really wanted to say Merry Christmas to me." "Open the package!" Marls says eagerly. I rip open the brown paper and pull out an amazing emerald green dress with matching heels. I lay it down on the bed and stare at it in awe with my eyes wide open.

*I love this dress so much. For Lily, I feel like it would have less volume at the bottom though*

"It's gorgeous!" Marls says beaming at me. I pick up the dress and say, "I'll be right back." I run out of the room and knock on James' door. "Come in." He says and I push open the door and lay the dress on his bed. "What?" He asks. "My mum sent the dress for the party at your house." "It's perfect." He smiles. "Perfect? Isn't it a little..." I gesture with my hands. "Extravagant?!" To my surprise James laughs a little. "And what's this about Potter Manor?" I say while Sirius silently laughs in the corner of the room. James grins and says, "That's what my house is called. And the dress is perfect. It's a big party." "Potter Manor?!" He nods. I knew he had money, but his family has a manor?! I turn and walk out of the room and into Marls'. "Is your party going to be as extravagant?" "No." She says smiling. "Can I see your dress?" Marls nods and goes to her closet. She pulls out a magnificent red dress that has a long slit on the side.
