"Me?" Remus asked.
"We can go just as friends, if you want." Lily offered sadly.
"No." Remus said. He didn't know why Lily wanted to go to the dance with him, but he didn't mind. He liked her a bit. Not like James did, but all the Marauaders had a thing for Lily, and the whole school new it.
"No?" Lily asked disappointed. It took Remus a second to get what she was asking.
"Oh, I meant," Remus took a deep breath. "I meant lets go to the dance, but no not as friends." Remus said not looking Lily in the eye. He had much guilt now. James was going to kill him.
"Really?" Lily smiled up at him.
"Yeah." He replied.
Lily swiftly kissed Remus on the cheek and walked off to tell her friends. Remus sat dazed at what had just taken place when Sirius and Peter walked up.
"Mooney, did you just snag a date?" Sirius asked smiling broadly.
Remus nodded.
"Who?" Peter squealed.
"L...L...L..." was all Remus could get out.
"Only two girls in a class name starts with L, mate." Sirius replied dangerously.
"Is it Liz?" Peter asked softly. Everyone knew Peter liked Liz.
Remus shook his head, his mouth still hanging open.
"No?" Sirius whispered. "James is going to kill you."
"I know." Remus seemed to get out.
"Why?" Peter asked. He never got anything.
Lily sat on her bed with her friends talking and giggling. All were proud of her for asking Remus, she had liked him for a while. She already had her dress, seeing as the dance was the next day. All her friends had dates, except her and Liz. Now it was only Liz.
"How are you going to do your hair Lily?" Liz asked.
"Nothing big. Just down. I might curl it, and I've got fairy glitter." Lily thought aloud.
"Oh, that would be lovely, Lils," Lily's best friend Carly said.
They each slowly fell asleep, exited for the next day, Christmas Eve, and the dance.
In the boys dorm things were going well. The boys were also talking of the dance.
"I'm going solo," Sirius responded. "Then I'm not stuck with one girl all evening, I can move around."
"That's deceitful." Remus said.
"It's brilliant." James said. "I asked Carly this morning. After Lily turned me down I decided I didn't want to go alone, that way she'll get jealous." James told them. At the mention of Lily Remus stiffened.
"I heard she had a date," Peter said. Sirius hit him with a pillow. He still didn't get it.
"No, she couldn't." James decided. "What about you, Remus? Fallowing Sirius? footstep?"
Remus shook his head.
"Who?" James asked eagerly.
"He wont tell us either." Peter said. "I'm asking Liz in the morning, I heard she doesn't have a date yet." Peter decided.
"That's great Wormtail. We should get to sleep thought." James encouraged.
"'Night" They cried in unison.
The next morning Remus stayed in bed as his friends went down to breakfast.
Lily and her friends slept in that morning. When they headed down to lunch they bumped into Remus.
"Hey!" Lily smiled.
"Hi," Remus weakly smiled.
"You guys go ahead." Lily told her friends, who waved back at her.
When her friends left Lily spoke. "I wanted to talk to you."
"Oh?" Remus asked.
"In private," Lily said as she looked around at the many people walking the halls.
"Sure," Remus said, gesturing to an unused class room.
When safely inside the room Lily looked at Remus.
"I wanted to say Thank you." Lily smiled up at him.
"For?" Remus asked, feeling he should be the one thanking her.
"I really like you," Lily said. She planted a sweet, soft, kiss on Remus' lips.
"No, Lily. Thank you." Remus said and kissed her softly. "Hungry?" He asked.
"Yeah." Lily said. And taking each others hand they walked into the almost deserted Great Hall.
Remus breathed out slowly, James wasn't in here.
Lily headed up to the sixth year girls dorm. Her friends were already up their getting ready. Lily hopped into the open shower. She let the hot steam flow down her, and she began to relax. She was finished washing, and let the hot water run over her. When...
KNOCK! KNOCK! "Lily! Are you done yet?" Liz asked through the door.
Lily grunted, turned off the water, and grabbed her towel. She walked over to her bed and grabbed her best underwear; her only thong, a black silk one, and a matching bra. She didn?t expect anything to happen tonight, but they were the only underwear she owned that wouldn't show through her dress. She put them on, and tossed a big shirt over herself. Lily walked over to her bed and put lotion on her legs to make them extremely soft. Next Lily pulled a chair up to the big mirror where many of her friends sat and began curling her shoulder length auburn strait hair. When she was satisfied she sprayed EZ Spray Potion on her hair, to keep it smooth, and in place. Lily began applying soft makeup on her face. She powdered her perfect skin clean and applied a cream blush to her cream skin, giving it an amazing glow. She then outlined her eyes in black eyeliner and dark mascara to let her eyes stand out. She brushed a soft white shadow on the under folds of her eyelids. She took a soft pink gloss and put it on her lips. It showed up clear on her lips, with a small pink tint to it. When she was done she pulled out her fairy glitter and tasseled it through her hair casing it to shimmer with glitter. When she was done Lily took off her shirt and slipped into her dress. The dress she picked out was an deep green, making her eyes look brighter. It had no glitter on it like most of the girls dresses this year, and Lily loved that. It wrapped tight around her waist, then flowed down to just below her knees. It had a v-neck that was not low at all, and the straps came up from it and tied behind her neck. Lily put on a silver necklace with a emerald pendant, an emerald studded bracelet, and matching earrings. Lily then grabbed her pair of silver healed shoes with small straps that revealing her green toe polish that matched her dress perfectly and threw them on. All ready Lily grabbed her silver hand bag and threw in her lip gloss and wand. Lily waited for Liz and Carly who also had dates with Mauarders and the three walked down together after each girl told Lily she looked beautiful.
The boys were waiting downstairs and looked up as the girls walked down. Peter jumped up and walked to Liz and offered her his hand. Together they walked away. Carly walked down to James and nudged him, for his eyes were transfixed on Lily. He wondered who her date was. Lily walked down to Remus and kissed him tenderly and sweetly on the lips. James blinked, and his mouth hung open. Carly pushed James out the door.
