Much Ado about Nothing
Chapter Two
Lily arrived at Hogsmade station looking for her friends. People could come anyway they wanted not just by train to this shindig. Lily climbed the stairs to the Common Room and said the password. She was a Gryffindor and was proud of it. The room was streaked with red and gold allover the room. Comfy red couches and arm chairs with gold trimmings and pillows, cherry desks, fabulous carpets, she loved it all. Lily grabbed the end of her trunk and carried it up stairs to her dorm room to see her friends.
James got off the train into Hogsmade station with his friend Sirius. Remus and Peter were coming by floo powder but James's parents thought it best to have him come by train to make sure he got to school. His parents were aurors and bad things could happen if he traveled by floo. They climbed the stairs to their Common Room. They were Gryffindor and proud of it. They took a look around the room and then grabbed their trunks. It's good to be home, James thought.
Lily saw her friends and dropped her trunk and ran to them ending up in a big group hug. Lily wasn't the most popular girl but her friends were. Gwen Burns, Alice Jones, and Sarah Dippet were all her best friends and room mates. They were all pretty and popular.
Gwen was about the same height as Lily, 5'8''. She had blonde hair that went down to the middle of her back. She had a pretty face and was popular with the boys. Everyone wanted to date her. She carried herself like she ruled the world, or at least Hogwarts. She was also very smart. She had to be Lily's best friend.
Alice was a sweet girl. She had short brown hair and a pretty round face. She was very caring and never left any one out. She was the one you went to with problems and she always went to Lily if she had a problem. She was going out with her boyfriend of 1 year, Frank Longbottom. He was a nice enough character and also very good looking.
Sarah was Alice's best friend that the girls got to know well. She had brown hair that went to her shoulders and was shorter. She was pretty but not stunningly pretty. She was a nice girl but very insecure, much unlike the other three. She wasn't the smartest girl and was often last to get the joke. She was nice though.
"Lily, you look gorgeous! Wow!" was all Gwen could say. The other girls squealed and just gushed at her. To say Lily was gorgeous had to be the understatement of the year. While they gushed over her new look, Lily looked around the room and noticed someone new.
Lily looked at the girl who looked at her and the girl blushed.
"Hello." Lily said.
James walked into the dorm room with Sirius. Three boys came over and thumped their backs saying their welcomes. James grinned at them all. Remus, Peter, and Frank Longbottom were his other dorm mates.
Sirius was his absolute, no doubt about it, best friend. He was tall 6 foot and very handsome, at least that's what the girls said. He had black hair that fell in his face with not a strand out of place. He was a beater on the Quidditch team with James as Chaser. He was a bad boy at heart but was also very good in school. He and James hold the record for most detentions.
Remus had sandy hair that was short but tidy. He was also good looking but shy. He was a werewolf and therefore didn't want to get into any relationships. This made him very mysterious to the girls and a bit of a tease. He was smart and a prefect with Evans. He didn't really like to take part in their escapades, but helped anyway. They became animagis for him so why not help them?
Peter was very much like Sarah Dippet. He had short brown hair that was messy but not sexy like James's. He was stout and short. He was stupid and not very clever but the boys till like to hang around him. They had to constantly help him with school and other things but they liked him anyway.
Frank wasn't really in their group. He was a Quidditch player, Beater. He usually hung out with his girlfriend or the Marauders. He had short brown hair that was kind of like Remus's. He was nice enough and helped them get out of trouble or covered up for them if they needed it. He was also very smart and talented in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"So how about the ball tonight, boys?" James said while the other boys whooped and yelled.
"My name is Lily and this is Gwen, Alice, and Sarah. Are you new here?"
The girl nodded. "My name is Elise Holland."
Gwen looked at her in surprise. "Not from around here are you?"
"No, I'm from the States. I moved here because my father got a good job offer as an auror."
Lily studied the girl while the conversation went on. She was also 17 years old, just like all the other 7th years. She had brown eyes that had flecks of green going though the middle to the outside. She was built like Lily and Gwen and had a golden complexion. She had light brown hair with blonde highlights and was also very pretty. She said something about playing chaser during the conversation that Lily heard.
When they were all finished, Lily screamed, "I get shower first." She proceeded to run to the bathroom and take a hot shower.
A/N: What do you think of this? Now, I've gotten all of the descriptions out of the way and am ready to type up the ball scene. He, he. What will James and the other boys think of the girls? What will the girls think of the boys?
