A.N: Okay…still not so sure about the continuing of the story…but I'm going to post this chapter anyways.

Disclaimer: Same as last chapter.

A little while after Bea left for bed, everyone else decided that it was getting late so they headed up to their rooms.

The next morning, Bea woke early and went down to the kitchen. She decided she would start her diet today, so she only ate an orange for breakfast. About half an hour later, everyone else trooped down to the kitchen still in their pajamas.

"Good morning Everyone!" Bea yelled in a sing-song voice across the kitchen.

The grunts and "uh-huh" that came from the group could only mean that they agreed. The "uh-huh" came from Michelle who was looking extremely bubbly, and hyper this morning.

"What's got your frown upside down?" Bea asked Michelle.

"Guess what today is!" Bea was about to open her mouth and guess her birthday but Michelle continued. "It's the grand opening of the new amusement park down the street! And guess what else!" Again, Bea was about to open her mouth to suggest that it was somebody's birthday but again, Michelle continued. "We're going! We're going, and we're going for the whole day! Isn't that wonderful!"

Sirius jumped up and started dancing with Michelle. Apparently, he thought it was a great idea. Remus just shrugged and James looked like Christmas came early. Bea was also excited and Lily looked like she might blow chunks all over James. Apparently, Lily didn't like amusement parks too much, but after some persuasion on Sirius' part, she grudgingly agreed to tag along.

When they got there, they chose to go on a huge roller coaster first. Lily absolutely refused to go on.

"No way! If I get on there and survive the ride, one of you might die tonight!"

"Okay! Okay. Calm down, you don't have to go on. I'll stand outside and wait with you, Remus, Michelle, Sirius and Bea can go on. Okay?" Asked James kindly.

"Okay. James?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks." And Lily gave him a small peck on the lips, which then turned into a full on snog session.

"James, buddy. We're going on the ride okay?" James just waved a hand to dismiss Sirius and the rest.

Since Michelle and Remus were dating, they sat together which left Sirius and Bea to sit together. The ride started out pretty slow and boring, but once the bumps came and they gained speed, everyone had their hands in the air and started screaming. Sirius and Bea were making the most noise out of everyone, not because they were scared but just because they could. Bea felt something on her hand and looked up to find that Sirius had attached his hand to hers while they were waving them in the air.

She felt like her stomach had been flung up to her throat, like she might choke on it at any second. She didn't know if it was because of the huge drop they just went over, or the fact that the man of her dreams was holding her hand. She guessed they both had a part in it.

When the ride was over, Bea and Sirius got off the ride, still holding hands. Remus and Michelle followed. When they got to the exit of the ride they found James and Lily holding hands, with huge smiles on their faces.

"Oh, 'What undying love?' What a lie, Lily." Said Bea, imitating Lily.

"Oh, shut up Bea!" Screamed Lily playfully.

The rest of the day went well, with everybody going on rides, even Lily once in a while. It was time for lunch so they decided that they would leave the park and come back some other time. They went to the small diner in town called "A Table For Two". It was a couple's place so Lily, James, Michelle and Remus convinced Bea and Sirius to go. Like the name of the diner, there were only tables big enough for two people so Lily and James sat together and Remus and Michelle sat together which left Sirius and Bea together. They got a table by the window and waited for the waitress.

"Hello. My name is Julie and I'll be your server this evening. Can I get you anything to drink?" said the waitress.

They ordered their drinks and the waitress left. When she came back, they were ready to order their food.

"I don't mean to be nosy or anything, but you two are so cute together! You make a great couple. How did you meet?"

"Oh. We're not a couple, we're just friends." Said Sirius.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, it's just that we usually only see couples in here. But I did mean what I said about you, you two do look great together." Bea blushed and Sirius just nodded.

They ordered their food and the waitress left.

"So…How do you think the rest of us are doing?" asked Sirius, trying to make the situation less awkward.

"They're probably having fun, considering they actually are with their significant other. God, this is so awkward. I wish it wasn't though, it's ruining our dinner."

"So true. How did you like the roller coasters today?"

"Oh my gosh! I loved them! I've always loved roller coasters! We should definitely go back again sometime, that was so much fun!" said Bea excitedly.

"I know! I feel the same way! I don't know how much the rest of them enjoyed it though. Maybe next time, just you and me should go! It would be a lot of fun!"

"Okay!" said Bea, genuinely smiling.

They finished their dinner, paid and went outside to wait for the rest of them. They spotted swings, just to the left of the diner, so they decided to go and try them out.

"Okay. Here's what we're going to do. We both get going at the same height, then whoever lands the farthest away from the swing wins. Get it? Good. Go!" Yelled Bea.

They started pumping as high as they could and when they were at maximum height, they started counting.

"1…2…3!"

They both jumped off and Bea landed farthest away from the swing.

"No fair! How'd you do it?!" cried Sirius.

"I don't know, I guess I'm just good at it!" replied Bea.

Sirius laughed and when they turned around, they found the rest of the group waiting for them.

When they got home they all sat in the kitchen, at the table.

"Okay, I know this sounds stupid but I feel like there's something I should be doing. I mean, it's only 3 o'clock, what could I possibly have to do?" asked Michelle.

"We're not doing anything tonight…"Bea trailed off and everybody wore a look of realization for a moment.

"The party!" they all shouted in unison.

Everybody had forgotten that the party was tonight, at 5 o'clock. They only had two hours to get themselves, and everything else ready. The boys rushed and got the food and music ready while the girls hurried upstairs to get dressed.

Two hours later, and everybody was dressed and ready. The boys were downstairs answering the door as guests started arriving and the girls were upstairs, waiting to make an entrance. Remus was Michelle's date, James was Lily's date and Bea was going solo. Sirius' date was a seventh year girl from Ravenclaw.

Michelle was the first to go down the stairs. She was wearing a halter-style, orange, knee length dress that was loose, yet looked absolutely lovely on her. She left her hair down, but straightened it so it wasn't curly, as usual. She met Remus at the bottom of the stairs.

"You look beautiful." She smiled and they walked to the dance floor together.

Lily went down next. She wore a spaghetti-strap, emerald green, floor length dress that complimented her eyes perfectly. It was fairly form-fitting, but it flowed out at the bottom. She wore her hair up in a bun, with a few loose curls framing her face. She met James at the bottom too.

"Woah, I umm…flowers?" James said as he handed her a bouquet of tiger lilies.

"James! They're my favorite! Thank you so much!" exclaimed Lily as she hugged her boyfriend. They walked over and sat at a table.

There was nobody waiting for Bea, so she walked down the stairs to be met by emptiness. Not exactly a happy thought at the time. But, nonetheless, she smiled and walked to sit at a table.

She was wearing a beautiful, white, ball gown. It was strapless and the bodice hugged her body, but not too tightly. It flowed out at the bottom, mermaid-style and it was just perfect for her. It made her hair stand out, which was special in its own way. Instead of styling her hair differently for the party, she decided to let Michelle and Lily cut it for her. It turned out beautifully. It was short in the back, it only went to just above her shoulders and it was longer at the front, it went to just above her breasts.

The first song started playing and all the couples went out onto the dance floor. There were only a few people left sitting, Bea was unfortunately one of them. She tried her hardest to keep the smile on her face but she really had no reason to smile at the time. A young boy, about a year younger than her, yet still quite handsome, asked Bea to dance after the first song was over. She gladly obliged.

They walked across the dance floor until they were in the centre and started to dance. Eventually, all eyes were on them. Bea was smiling and laughing, she was having a great time. The dance floor cleared out until they were the only ones on it, everyone else was standing on the outside in a circle watching them. He spun her around and when she arrived back in his arms she spoke.

"I'm having so much fun! I'm sorry, but I haven't gotten your name. I'm Beatrice, but you can call me Bea." She said.

"I'm having fun too. My name is Jason, but you can call me Jay." He said with a wink.

The song ended and Jay kissed her hand. "I've had a lovely time, Bea, but I think someone else has their eye on you right now."

"What do you mean?" she asked, clearly confused. He nodded his head in the direction behind her so she turned around.

"May I have this dance?" Sirius asked when she turned around.

They started to dance to the slow song that had just started.

"And to what, do I owe this wonderful pleasure?"

"Well, my fair lady, the other maiden left with an illness and my knights of the round table are fairly engrossed in their own maidens." He replied.

Bea looked at him with a quirked eyebrow. "In English you would understand, please?"

"My date left because she wasn't feeling good and James and Remus are busy with their own dates." He restated simply.

"Oh." She said, trying not to seem sad about it. 'So he's only dancing with me because he doesn't have anything better to do. Okay then.' She thought.

"Oh! No! Don't take it like that! I didn't mean it like that! It's not like I didn't want to dance with you or anything…I just…Oh I don't know! But I didn't mean it like that!" he explained when he saw the look on Bea's face. "Bea, you look beautiful tonight. And I'm sorry I didn't ask you to dance before now."

"Don't even worry about it. I'm used to stuff like this happening. It shouldn't bother me anymore."

"Did you even hear the part about you looking beautiful tonight?"

"Yeah. I heard it. Thanks, I guess."

He didn't know what else to say and the song was ending, so he kissed her hand and walked away. After a while and a few more songs, Bea was still sitting alone at a table. She decided that she wanted to go for a walk by the water. She went down to the beach and took her shoes off. She held up one end of her dress and, while carrying her shoes, walked along the edge of the water occasionally getting her feet wet.

"You know, sometimes I wonder who you really are." She said to her reflection in the water. Surprisingly enough, it didn't answer her.

"What? Do you not see me either? Come on, I know somebody in this world has to see me!" she turned away from the water and walked to the woods. She walked about five tree lines in, and turned to her right. "DOES ANYBODY SEE ME!? DOES ANYBODY HEAR ME?! AM I INVISIBLE TO EVERYONE?!" she screamed into the wind.

"I see you. I hear you. You are not invisible to me." she turned to see Sirius standing there.

"Oh. I didn't really expect anyone to hear that." She said blushing.

"What did you mean by that exactly?"

"It was nothing."

"Bea, I know that wasn't nothing. One doesn't just scream words like that into the wind for no particular reason. Please tell me."

"I'm sick of people not seeing me. Not giving me a second thought. Not caring about me. Not loving me."

"Bea, I see you. I give you a second thought, bloody hell, I give you more than a second thought. I care about you, and Bea, I love you."

"You don't love me the way I want to be loved. I'm only ever loved as a friend. Nothing more. I mean, isn't there anybody in this world who can look past the fact that I'm a little bit over weight? I'm sorry. I shouldn't be dumping all this on your shoulders. I'm going to bed. I guess I'll see you tomorrow." And with that, she turned and walked out of the woods and up to Michelle's room.

When she got to Michelle's room, she found a note on the dresser.

Bea,

Michelle and I have gone out with the boys. We won't be back until late, so don't wait up. If the party's still going and you want to go to bed, then just tell everyone to leave. Sorry we couldn't tell you personally! It'll just be you and Sirius tonight.

Love,

Lily.

'Okay then. I guess it's time to end the party.' She walked downstairs and magically amplified her voice. "Attention party-goers! It's time to leave! Go on now! Get out!" Eventually everyone started piling out until the place was empty.

Bea went back up to Michelle's room and got changed for bed. She fell asleep almost instantly.
