Love is in the air....or is it? ---February 2nd 1977 --Great Hall

Furrowing my eyebrows. '' No, I'm not doing htis because someone forced me....No one would be able to force me to do anything to be honest..'' I told her smiling with a grin. '' I'm going with you and we will have an awesome time. Lily just wanted to know if I was going with you because I think she's bringing everyone dress hunting. I believe. '' Man, she was this worried?. I was going with her, and I'm not going to just ditch the girl wihen we got to the dance. I was going to be her date and maybe let a few young men cut in if they wanted too. But It was a night for the girl in front of me. '' I'll make it one you'll never forget.''

I beamed. This was too good to be true... but it was happening! "So... erm... do you want to match colors.....? Or do you not want it to be official... because I'm assuming it's just as friends...." I left that open ended. I wouldn't get my hopes up for him to counter it... but I didn't want him to know that I was hoping it would be.

'' Of course we'll be matching colours...you just got to let me know what colour you get and I will match. '' I nodded with a smile. She looked like she was beaming happy. Man, I didn't know I had this effect on every girl I spoke too....Shrugging, Trying my best to not go total elaborate '' Let's see what the night brings '' I told her, not wanting to be so mean. As to say yes, right now it's just as friends. But let's see what the night brings means really anything. so...I smiled again, man I had to look creepy. '' So, you'll let me know?''

I nodded. "Yes, I will... and I'd better let Lily know that I'll need to go with her to get a dress..." I was suddenly all business. "I really appreciate this, Sirius... I know that sounds weird... but I do. Thanks," I said, smiling at him -- a true, genuine smile that had no meaning behind it besides utter happiness.

'' You dont' need to thank me...''I shook my head at her, and yes go let Lily know what's going on...'' I took a deep breath wondering how on earth am I supposed to start explaining this to prongs. I mean he was sure to understand why I did it after I tell him..it's just telling him would be the hard part.

'' So we have another lady coming with us to go dress hunting..'' I looked to Lily and grinned, '' So we have quite the group going dress hunting.'' Lily looked absolutely beaming. '' So this should be fun.'' I said stealing a grape off Lily's plate and popping it in my mouth.

'' Of course we could do somethingfor Ember. She is more than wlecome to coming with us.'' I said happily. The bigger group the better. That way we can easily just take over a certain part of the store for just us. That way we don't have to deal with any tough situations...'' I grinned.

"I'm really glad that the butthead actually asked her. I suggested it to him but I wasn't sure if he was going to go through with it or not." I said quietly as I looked over at Ember who was smiling her head off. The girl seemed really, really happy that the boy had just asked her out.

I walked over to the group of ladies. "Hi! Can I come with you guys/ Dress shopping? I need a dress now..." I said, hoping they'd say yes.

Grinning, " Oh of course you can Ember." I looked at her and this smile she had now won't be fading anytime soon. " glad to have you with us." I told her. I had come a lot closer with Ember now that James and I are dating it wasn't just about Ember your brother won't leave me alone. It was now more elaborate. "Shall we go get ready to go now then?" I asked the group.

I nodded. "I'm game," I said, grinning. "Do you guys have any idea of what your dresses would ideally look like?" I couldn't believe that I was going with SIrius! I didnt' even care what James said. Lily would keep him at bay... besides, James didn't control me.

I nodded. " Somewhat, I knew what I wanted. Just depends if it looks alright on me or not." I told her as I gathered my bag. " So, we should go soon?" I wanted to try and get everyone a dress now that way everyone was done for that and all we had to worry about was getting some jewelery that matches. " You know I want to try and get everyone a dress now. That way we'll have no reason to panic and just get done up and such." I grinned. Looking over to Ember. I knew James had talked to her, " I'll keep him busy. He won't do anything if he knows what's good for him." I told her with a smile.

I shrugged. "I might just show up in sweatpants even though Lily won't let me. So I'll try on...and emphasis on the TRY Lils, a red or black dress." I said with a smile over at Ember who was still grinning like she had just won a million gallons or something.

I nodded. " Yes, you'll try one or ten one.... as long as their red and black.." I always knew how to make her try on more then necessary. She always gave me an outlet to say well you never told me that. I looked over to the group, and smiled. " We should go soon though...but admittedly. I'm still hungry...I don't know about you guys..but I would like to finish breakfast first then we get ready and go? " I asked them.
