Scenarios
① Ask Your Date to the Yule Ball - Invite that special someone or ask your best friend. There is nothing wrong with going as friends!

④ Picking Up Your Date - Go and pick up your date, the ball is about to start!
⑤ The First Dance - It's time for the first dance. Are you ready?
⑥ Refreshment Table - Let's hope someone no one spiked the punch! We're looking at you Marauders. We see that flask, Sirius...
⑦ The Courtyard - Need a break from dancing and people? We get that. Go into the courtyard and get a breath of fresh air. Just be sure no teacher catches you making out with your date.
⑧ Wardrobe Malfunction - The absolute worst timing, a wardrobe malfunction! What do you do?
⑨ Chaperone - Are you a chaperone for the evening? How'd you get stuck with that gig? Better make sure the Marauders aren't creating havoc or spiking the punch!
⑩ Free Choice - You know what, you do your thing!

Deflating with relief when Harry approached with all the quiet she had been hoping for Lily put a hand on her son's shoulder, looking up at his face. "Harry I need you to walk behind and slightly to the left of me and look ahead for any trouble. You absolutely cannot move away from my left." She spoke as solemnly as a spymaster laying out the parameters of a mission might, her eyes wide and serious.

"When we get out of here, turn left, I'm going to sprint for the alcove by the closest set of double windows. You stand in front of the alcove and fan your robes out a bit, blocking me. Got it?"

She gave him a nod, hoping that this would work and that nobody was already in the alcove. Bloody teenagers.

"You're acting like one of those spies that you enjoy watching on the telly," Harry said with an amused grin but nodded solemnly at the instructions. "After you then," he said, motioning ahead with his hand.

He figured it couldn't be that serious if he needed to watch for any trouble and stay exactly on one side of her until they got to an empty alcove. "Everything okay, Mum?"

Once she was hidden away in the alcove and could turn around enough to get at the awkward rip just beneath her bum Lily used her wand to make short work of it, sighing in relief.

"You're a good son," she said, patting him on the shoulder and stepping back out. "If you must know my robes ripped and a bit more of me was showing than ought to be." Lily grinned, giving her son a nod. "You've saved the day darling, I'm sorry I tore you away from your friends, Poppy was dancing with Hagrid and Horace would try to fix it himself and make a scene. Not to mention that would have been completely dreadful."

"That would be more than a little awkward," Harry said with a laugh, only imagining his Mum asking Professor Slughorn to assist her. "It's okay. Hermione understood. I'm glad I could help you, Mum." He gave her a hug and looked at her. "Ready to head back?"

"Absolutely, darling, lead the way," Lily gave her son a big grin, taking his arm cheerfully. "Do you think you'll die of embarrassment if your old mum asks you for a dance?" Her smile widened as she led him back into the Great Hall.
