James could not believe his luck, he had not only gotten the girl he loved since first year to be his date for the night, she was also treating him like a human being!
This girl had loathed him for all his life and now she was calling him by his first name! He couldn't believe the progress he had made in one night.
He tried to find his best friends to share this incredible news with them, and eventually found them at the punch bowl.
"Well if it isn't the man of the hour himself!" Sirius said to him the moment he came into sight, "Well done Prongs! She looks smitten!"
"No, she couldn't already! Does she?" James asked excitedly, like a little boy given extra dessert.
"Trust me man, I know when women are smitten, it's a gift, I was born with it!" the womanizer said grinning, "In fact, they say the first words out of my mouth were, Hey there pretty lady!"
He continued despite the eye rolling. "Just one night with the charming Prongs we know, and she's all fluttery, she could barely walk straight when we just saw her!"
"Wait, wait, you just saw her?" James asked like he was interrogating them for a crime.
"Yeah mate," Remus said as he looked at James as if questioning his sanity, "She just came up to us with this smug look on her face, then said she needed the girls for a sec, and took Rylen and Auden somewhere with her."
"Oh god what is she doing? Pads, Moony, how are you not freaking out, what if they left, or are hanging with other guys because we did something wrong or-"
That second the music stopped and the lights went out. Before anyone could so much as scream, the song "Good Girls Go Bad" by Cobra Starship started blaring insanely loudly, and a spotlight hit the floor where all the teachers tables had been cleared off.
There were three girls standing there with their backs to the audience. The girls turned around, and started whipping out crazy intense dance moves, and breaking down to the beat.
Everyone started to cheer, and everyone crowded around where they were dancing. The real sight however, was if you were looking at James Potter's, Remus Lupin's, and Sirius Black's faces, they looked like they had been hit by a bus.
"Um, Moony? Are those our dates up there, dancing wildly in front of everyone?" James said his eyes growing wider and wider.
"I would have to say yes mate," Remus said with his head tilted to the side, he looked as confused as Peter did in potions.
"Hhmm," all three boys said at the same time, "That's interesting."
The girls were still dancing hard, and right when the final buildup came around, they jumped off the "stage" and headed towards their awestruck dates.
They pulled them by their ties into the spotlight, and started getting them into the dancing.
The boys looked a little awkward and were quite bewildered, but they pulled it off, eventually they got into it, and Sirius even used his wand as a "microphone" and lip synched along.
Rylen laughed and joined him and they pretended to do the duet for the rest of the song. Auden and Remus started breaking out the air guitar, and tried mimic hard playing tricks.
Lily and James just danced the whole time, but when the song ended, they actually ran holding hands, straight into a stage dive.
When all the friends had got together after the crazy show, all they could do was laugh. They hadn't just gone all out crazy in too long. Accept for Sirius, he's just always all out crazy.
"Now Moony, Pads," James said really seriously, "what do you say we give these girls a run for their money?"
All the guys faces lit up with the same impish grin. "Lets do it!"
The marauders then began to repeat the earlier performance, to the song "I Don't Wanna Be In Love" by Good Charlotte.
It was just all out fun, and everyone in the audience started jumping up and down to the beat with their hands in the air.
Later that night, all the gang sat at a table in the back and all just hung out drinking butterbeer.
It was so nice for all of them not have to worry about anything. They were content just thinking about that night.
After what felt like twenty minutes, but had really been four hours, Professor Dumbledore, went to the podium and quieted everyone down.
"Tonight has been a great party, especially thanks to the performances we were gratefully allowed to witness." he added a wink there.
"I feel like it's the time for a nice slow song, and soon we will be sending everyone back to their common rooms, get your last dance in while you can! Make sure it'll be a good day everyone, because it's already tomorrow!"
All the boys being gentlemen, asked the girls to dance, and they swayed back and forth as the song "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain came on.
Lily was so happy they had played her favorite song at her party, and even more grateful that James didn't seem as reluctant to hold her quite close this time.
She laid her head on his chest, and closed her eyes in bliss. This was not how she had pictured her night going, but it was more perfect than she could've dreamed.
She felt James's head rest on top of hers, and he began to hum along with the song. "You know this song?" Lily asked bewildered.
They picked their heads up, and James answered, "Um, yeah its really good, I listen to it before I go to sleep at every night."
He continued, "I think its beautiful and it's the most romantic song on earth." Lily was in shock, he was taking words out of her own mouth!
"How do you know it? Its muggle music!" he looked down and turned red. "I um, I heard you singing to yourself once in potions third year, and I asked my muggle cousin about it, he made me a CD thingy of just that song."
*silence*
"Look I know it's weird and kind of stalkerish, but it made me feel like we shared something, even if it was only a favorite song, it was something."
*silence*
"Ok I get it if you don't wa-" The rest of his sentence was cut off by her lips suddenly pressing against his.
The kiss was so passionate and sweet, everyone around them seemed to melt.
From a bystander, what you could see was a very busy couple, a few other couples dancing oblivious around them, and some people getting out of the great hall early heading to the commons. Also, if you were looking closely, you could see a long bearded man in the far corner, watching said couple with a knowing smile on his face.
"About time."
A/N: Haha I totally saw this played out as a movie in my head! Cutsie pootsie stuff, and the golden couple finally together! Be excited for what comes next cuz I'm sure I am! As always REVEIEW PLEASE! All feedback greatly appreciated!
