As he writhed and laughed, Sirius admitted to himself that Kailyn was good. Exceptionally so. Not that that deterred him in the least.
And so, Sirius Black had exactly one thing on his mind the evening of the ball. Well, that and the fact that he was going to look absolutely dashing.

[OOC: Lightning speed it is! I'm going to go to say, 20 minutes before the ball, and have the thing happen DURING it. OKaysies?
Dark red and gold equal orange?]
Twenty minutes until the entire ball began, and here they were. Alysson still rumaging through the newly made, and enlarged closet, Gwin sitting on her bed, wondering if the world would end before Alysson and herself would come to terms.
"Oo!" shrieked Aly, pulling out a ruffly, sunshine yellow dress.
"How about this one, Gwin? I think it looks absolutely stunning!"
Gwin glanced over, petrified by the apauling thing held before her.
"There is no way in all of Merlin's years that I would be caught dead in that!" she said viciously.
Why me?
Obviously, because you're the only one who actually wants to try this spell out.
Yeah, but what if it dosen't work?
What if it does. Imagine the possibilities- Being able to switch bodies with whoever you want to- Providing they'd swap.
I don't know, at this point, it seems far out there... Gwin fought the urge to shred Alysson when she looked absolutely heart-broken that Gwin wouldn't wear the dress.
She puckered her lips, and went meandering back into the closet. Next she chose a fluffy pink dress. Freaking hot pink.
Gwin gagged aloud.

Nadia was smiling as she was biting her lip to hold back the laughter that was about to overflow her. "Let me translate that for you Alysson," She cleared her throat. "That would be a definite 'no'." Still holding her laughter from escaping, she sighed; quietly, hoping that it would help her retain her composure. “Yeah, you might want to try a more . . .” Nadia looked at the floor trying to find the right word. “Well, actually I don’t know what you should try.” She turned to Alysson. “Just not that one.”
[Ooc: Okay, so I don’t know how to help with the lightning-speed part. But I don’t really mind. Do you?]

Lily turned around, her eyes flashing. "James Potter, if you don't leave me alone so that I can finish this essay, I will not refrain from hexing you into next year!" she hissed at him, turning back and scribbling furiously on her paper. "I would rather wither up and die then go to the ball with you," she spat, not even taking the time to turn around again.

James sighed; he knew he had pushed as far as he could. "Well then, my dearest, I guess I will just have to see you there." He said resignedly, before getting up and departing to his room, leaving the white Lily.
[Will post Kailyn and Leah, and MAYBE Severus after school.]

When Lily had finished the last of her homework, she packed up. She began to stand up, but stopped. Turning her head, she glanced at the white lily. Checking to make sure no one was looking, she picked it up with a smile, tucking it behind her ear. Lily climbed into a warm chair by the fire and opened a book that she had pulled from her bag.

Alysson furrowed her brow. So much for trying to get along.... she thought, but cheered slightly at knowing that At least they agreed to it. Or rather, convinced Gwin to go ahead and try it. Alysson shrugged, not swayed one way or the other. She dove back into the closet, only to re-emerge with a bright yellow dress. Her mouth formed a perfect 'o', and she could hardly speak. Niether could Gwin. She was absolutely petrified with fear.
"Oh Merliny-Merlin!" she whispered, her eyes as wide as saucers. "There is no way in Hades that I'd be seen in that toxic waste known to womankind as a dress!"
Gwin finally vaulted from her bed, and into the closet.
"Gawd, Alysson! Pick something- Oh I don't know-"
"Angsty?" snapped Alysson as Gwin pulled out a spiderweb designed black dress. Gwin shrugged, looking at the dress with a little confusion.
"It's not angsty! It's just- misunderstood." she finished lamely.
Alysson looked around the room for a reaction, her eyebrow raised.

Leah guffawed from the bathroom, where she was doing her hair. After braiding two sections on top, she slid wires through them, and bending them into the desired shapes, Leah tapped each one with her wand to ensure they stayed put. The end result was two ears on top of her head. Still smiling, she walked into the closet and emerged with a black, brown and leopard-print dress that looked too long for Leah. She shook her head at Gwin and Alysson as she passed by them. "Can't you two agree on something? Like a depressing sort of girly frilly thing? Sheesh, just try a Lolita dress or something and give it bright trim! It doesn't have to be this hard." Leah disappeared into the bathroom again, wand in hand.
A minute later, and audible gasp of pain was hard from the bathroom. "Geez! Didn't think the spell would hurt that much!" Another minute later, Leah stepped out in the long dress, mask in hand. She was about Gwin's height now, and grinning fit to burst. "Well?" She asked excitedly.

Kailyn sat on the bed boredly, brushing out her long red hair that she had darkened for the occasion. She laughed slightly at the antics of Gwin and Alysson, being mostly ready herself. She wore a dark green silk dress that had a halter top, empire waist, and flowed easily to the floor. Beside her on the bed lay detached long, flowing sleeves of the same material and a green and silver mask that had a snake-scale pattern. Sighing, she deftly tied her hair up into a fancy twist, fastening it with two large pins that bore matching emeralds. The pins had been her mother's, and Kailyn was reminded again of how much she missed her mom. Pushing down the melancholy feelings, she sighed again and distracted herself by watching Gwin and Alysson argue. "Can you two hurry up? At this rate, we'll miss the whole thing!"

Nadia, who had gone in the bathroom after Leah, came out with a shy smile looking at the floor. She was wearing a black silk dress that draped all the way down to her ankles but was longer in the back. The sleeves were long and came down to her hands where it looped around her middle finger like a glove. She wore black dress sandals with silver buckles. Around her waist was as sea blue band with a bow on the back. Both the bow and the band had silver trim. In her hand she held a silver mask with black and sea blue feathers. Instead of her usual black choker, Nadia wore an elegant silver chocker with sea blue beads. Her hair was up in a smooth ponytail and her bangs hung on the sides of her face. She looked up from the floor still smiling shyly. "Well come on then. All of us are ready."
Hearing Leah's one worded question she turned to see Leah how was now a foot taller and replied. “Whoa. That’s different.” She walked over to her tall friend. “My head just reaches the bottom of your chin! If you and Gwin dressed alike people would surely get you mixed up." She chuckled slightly. "But really you should hurry up."

[OOC: Excuse my sarcastic/sardonic Ha Ha.]
"You all can go ahead."
"Don't leave me here!" the two girls called simotaniously.
They glared at each other.
"You are-"
"The most-"
"Dramatic-"
"Girly-"
"Anti-color-"
"Drop dead over the rainbow-"
"Facist of fashion-"
"Person I know!" they finished together. They huffed.
"This is obviously not going to work." Huffed Alysson.
"Tell me about it." Grumbled Gwin.
"Okay, how about this: Gwin and I will both grab a dress for each other, you all can head downstairs or whatever, and we'll catch up to you fine ladies later?" suggested Alysson to the Rogues.
"Only if you swear to pick something-"
"Monochromatic? Gothic? Positivly boring and dreary?" Alysson snapped.
"Actually," Gwin said, seeming to have hampered down. "I was going to say 'over-enthusiastic'- But okay."
Alysson blushed. "Fine. As long as you pick out-"
"Something that would make a seven-year old squeal. Got it." Gwin said.
For the moment, they had an uneasy peace. They walked over to the closet, and counted together.
"1, 2- 3!" and their hands shot out, and pulled back dresses.
Alysson pulled out a smoldering orange Monroe/Greek goddess styled dress,
while Gwin's selection looked like a fairy's gown.
"Oo! It's SO pretty!" Alysson screamed, snatching it from Gwin's arm and dodging past Nadia into the bathroom. Leaving Gwin with her loud orange dress.
"It could have been worse..." She shrugged, tappign it with her wand to add a spiderweb design to it with black/brown sparkles. She waved her mother's wand over her face, imagining the intricate designed make-up over her eyes and nose. It was, of course, a spider-web design as well.
Alysson hastilly made butterfly wings, and bounded out of the bathroom with a small, glittery mask on. It covered her eyes like Crow warrior paint in glitter. With a few other small adjustments they were ready to go.
"Wow, Leah. I never thought I could look you in the eye and say it honestly, but- You're tall now!" Gwin grinned, ear to ear.

[OOC: For those who are wondering, these are SIMILAR dresses:
Alysson I know, I know- It WAS supposed to be Talos', but I changed my mind.
Gwin Again, I know, I know, orange is not the right color for her. I'm thinking about changing it to this pretty teal....]

Leah giggled. "You mean you never thought you would ever look me in the eye period, without leaning over." Slipping her leopard mask on, she offered her arm to her sister. "Shall we depart then?"
Kailyn pulled on her sleeves and fastened her mask, not very excited. "Yeah, let's go and get this over with." She grinned slightly though, as they walked out of their room, past the common room, and down the stairs to the entrance of the dining-hall-turned-ballroom. Hey, this might be fun. Maybe....
James straightened his collar, and grinned at Sirius and Remus. "Ready, gents?"

Sirius beamed. "As always, friend," he announced. He kicked Remus now, and an audible grunt was heard. "I have homework," Remus told James viciously, as savage as any of them had seen him as a human. After much struggle, a sliver of Remus was visible. He had only agreed to wear a simple, plain white mask. Sirius smiled cheekily. "Don't be a prat, Moony. You have more important things to deal with."

"You got me there, sis." Gwin laughed, accepting her arm, and making her way down the stairs. As soon as they were out of ear-shot, Gwin asked, "Is Nadia going to be okay? I mean- with the moon so- uh- you know." Gwin said, very vaguely. She was never hot on this topic, especially after Nadia had almost killed her in her were-wolf form.
Why do were-wolves hate cats? Or dogs for that matter? Gwin thought.
"She looks like she's taken a peace draught one or two many times. I've never seen her so- Serene around this time." Gwin continued. They were at the bottom of the stairs, and Gwin stopped talking. She was catious when it came to talking about her friend's secret.
Alysson beamed at the remaining Rogues, mentally swamping them in complaments. She refused to look like a brown-noser, and chose to smile over her shoulder, shrug and flutter her wings before gracefully walking down to the common room.
Luckilly, she didn't hear Gwin and Leah's conversation.
Lorian tapped her foot, a few feet away from the Fat Lady.
"Where are they? If they don't get a move on, I swear that I'll get in and drag them out!" she hissed angrilly to Rockelle. "I mean- Honestly, they need to get moving if they want to do the spell and have a decent amount of fun with it."
Lorian and Rockelle were to be look-outs while Alysson and Gwin performed the complex spell.
Lorian was dressed as a peacock- A billowing poets shirt under a wildly embrodered vest, simple kapris, and long golden boots, and a belt with faux peacock feathers hanging down the backside, dragging on the floor. The boots toes curled into clawed bird feet, and her mask had the eye of the feather, giving her a slightly crazed look about her.
Lorian pushed aside a strand of curly hair, magiced to a forest green for the ocassion.
"You can stop hiding now Rockelle- You look fabulous! Not to mention that that Prefect Timsen is gone now..." Lorian ungracefully smothered a snicker/giggle.
Andromeda gave a snort as she looked in the mirror.
"So much for going for the Blue Man look." she shrugged. Ted had taken her to a show this year, and she LOVED it.
"Maybe if I-" She scrunched up her nose, and it became a little thinner, looking like a true Black nose. She shrugged, and dawned her mask. In all honesty, she looked nothing like a Blue Man, more like a giant navy owl, encrusted with dew drops. With one last glance at the mirror, she swept out of the Slytherin common room, and headed towards the Great Hall, where the Ball was to take place.
Kael prayed that he didn't look like an idiot, and bolted for the door, hoping to avoid Talos' gaze. As soon as he made it out of the common room, he dodged into a short-cut, finally letting out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. His mind started to wander as soon as he realized he wasen't being dogged by Talos. How was he going to find his date?
How do you look for a Blue Man?
