Chapter 4
For the next couple of days Lily and James seemed to be avoiding each other. Lily would always be found in the library and James was always to be found out on the quidditch field.
"Oh. My. God. Lily." Rachel came running up to her in the library where she was studying.
"Ray. What's up?" Lily said looking up from her 'Charms For Experts' book she got last year from her parents for Christmas.
"You, will not believe who just asked me to the dance." She said catching her breath and sitting down.
"Who? Humpty Dumpty?" Lily said rather sarcastically.
"No. Remus." Rachel said finishing with a smile that reached from ear to ear.
Oh. My. God. Ray, that is so awesome. We have to go shopping together tomorrow." Lily said giving her friend a hug.
"Sounds great. But I'm late for class. Bye." Rachel said rushing out of the library.
****
"So. You finally asked her?" Sirius said more surprise than James.
"Yeah. And she said yes." Remus finished standing in a posture of satisfaction.
"That's great, but Sirius who are you going to ask?" James said already knowing whom but thought that he would much rather tortures him.
"Umm...well...I was thinking of Caitlyn." Sirius said in a hushed voice.
"But, I just heard Dan say that he was going to ask her after breakfast." James replied not showing any sign of mischief.
"What? Fuck! Gotta go!" Sirius said running out of the portrait hole and down to the Great Hall where he new he would find her studying. "Hey, Cait." he said approaching her out of breath.
"Hey." She said not even looking up from the paper that she was writing for transfiguration.
"Can I talk to you?" Sirius said brushing his fingers through his black hair and sitting down.
"Yeah. Sure, shoot." Caitlyn replied looking into his eyes.
"Okay, well, I was kind of wondering if you would, maybe, you would go to the dance with me? If, you don't have a date already that is." he added when she didn't answer.
"Yes." Caitlyn said giving him a hug that he returned.
****
At dinner everyone was talking about how fun the dance was going to be except Katie who looked as if she was about to cry.
"Huh, Hum." Came a voice from behind Katie.
"Oh. Hi Alex." Katie said turning around to see a very ripped (but not to ripped, but yet ripped enough) handsome guy who was the Ravenclaw captain and keeper for the house quidditch team. He was also very liked by many girls.
"Kat, can I talk to you for a sec.?" he said with a smile.
"Yeah." Katie said rather happy.
"Would you like to accompany me to the Homecoming dance?" He asked looking into her eyes to see pure happiness.
"Yes, I would love to." Katie said smiling even more than before.
"Okay, great. So I'll meet you here at six o'clock than." He said turning on his heels and walking back to his table.
"Go Kat. Go Kat. Go Kat." Rachel started to cheer.
"Shut Up Ray!" Katie said hitting her hard across the arm.

"Chica! Where the hell are you going?" Rachel screamed when Lily pulled her down the street into a small boutique right by the joke shop.
"Shopping! What else?" Lily said with a smirk. Rachel gave her the eye and Lily replied, "Don't worry. You'll love the clothes. Now, Come on!" Lily said entering a store that looked a lot bigger than when you saw it from the outside.
"This wasn't here last year." Katie said remembering how she had to wear the same dress to all the dances last year because Hogsmeade didn't have a clothing store for muggle events.
"They just put it in. My mum told me about it." Lily said taking them to the third floor where all the formal dresses were.
"Holy crap." Katie said looking around at all the clothes.
"So. Let's get to work." Caitlyn said finally speaking after her silence when they first walked into the boutique.
"Okay. Let's pick out some dresses than we can show each other. So. No help until after we're in the dresses. Then the critiquing begins." Rachel said running up to a rack if black dresses.
"Sounds good to me." Lily said doing the same.
"Alright." Katie said almost knocking over a rack of shoes. "That was so not I." She said stepping away.
After about half an hour of looking at dresses they finally were in the dressing room. And yet another half an hour they were at the counter buying their dresses. When they left the store they also noticed James, Remus, Sirius, Peter and who seemed to be Alex walking out of 'A Bachelor's Hell' tuxedo store across the street. They all ended up in The Three Broomsticks and had a cup of Butter Beer.
"So. Lily. How's life going for ya?" James asked trying to start up a conversation.
"Good. Yours?" Lily replied trying to keep it short but sweet.
"Pretty good thanx." James replied getting the feeling that she didn't feel very uncomfortable.
"I. Don't. Know. I'm sorry I gotta go." Lily said pushing her chair out from under her and walking out of the door.
"Lily!" But she just kept on walking. "Lily!" James called out again walking out after her. He soon caught up with her and grabbed her arm. " Lily. What's the matter?" James said bending down to her height and noticing that she was crying. "Lily I'm sorry for whatever I did, said, or whatever. Please just talk to me." James said looking into her eyes.
"I -I -I can't. I'm sorry." Lily said twisting out of James' grip and running full speed to Hogwarts with out looking back.
"Dude. What the hell was that about?" Sirius said at the door of The Three Broomsticks.
"Don't know." James said walking into the park across the street.

Lily didn't eat at all that day. So after dinner was over James finally got up the courage to go into the girls' dormitories and talk to her.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Come in." Lily said starting early on her transfiguration homework.
"Lils. Can I talk to you?" James asked a little fidgety.
"Sure. What 'bout?" Lily said not looking up at him once.
"We're still going to the dance together right?" James asked closing the door behind him and taking a couple of steps toward Lily.
"Yeah. Of course." Lily replied with a smile.
"Okay well. I wanna show you something." James said walking to her bed.
"What you wanna show me?" Lily said trying not to look into his eyes.
"Follow me and you'll find out." James said walking out the door with Lily hot on his trail.
"James. Where are we going?"
"You'll see." James then stopped in front of the portrait hole and told her to close her eyes. Lily did as she was told and then heard the portrait swing open and James guide her out. They walked along a very long hallway and then took three lefts and a right. Soon she heard his soft voice tell her to open her eyes. She opened her eyes and was standing in front of a portrait with a fruit bowl painted on it. James tickled the pear and then opened the picture. James lifted himself up a couple of feet off the ground to get into wherever the entrance led. "Alright. Give me your hand." James said holding out his hand
"What?" Lily said with a confused look on her face.
"Do you trust me?" James said looking deep into her eyes.
"Yes." Lily said hesitating a little bit.
"Than what are you waiting for?" James said once again offering her his hand.
"Nothing." Lily said taking his hand and letting him lift her up into the portrait. When they walked around the corner she gasped. "James. Are we?" Lily asked looking around at a very beautiful kitchen and a table that was set for two full of all her favorite sweets.
"Okay. What about a midnight snack?" James said offering her a cupcake.
"I'm not hungry." Lily said looking down at her lap.
"Lils. You have to be. I know you haven't eaten anything all day. I mean I may be dumb but I'm not that dumb." James said once again offering her the cupcake. This time she took it and nibbled on it.
"Anything else we can get for you?" Asked a house elf in her squeaky voice.
"No Ella. I think that this will be fine. Thank you." James said looking at the table that was over flowing with food. "Lily. Have I done anything wrong? Cause if I did than just-"
"No. James everything perfect. I'm just tiered that's all." Lily said putting her cupcake down on the seat and sitting down on the floor next to the fire to stay warmer.
"You wanna go back?" James asked sitting down next to her.
"No. Staying right here is good enough for me." Lily said putting her head on his shoulder and letting him put his arm around her waist.
"Lils?"
"Yeah."
"One time when you were talking to Katie you told her that you couldn't fall asleep unless you felt comfortable and safe. Is that true?" James asked with caution while looking into her eyes.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Just wondering." James said smiling to himself and remembering the Hogwarts Express ride to school a month ago, the night of the thunderstorm, and the night class just about two weeks ago. Before he new it Lily was once again asleep in his arms.

"RACHEL! WAKE UP!" Katie screamed in Rachel's ear.
"Ahhh!" Rachel screamed jumping up and out of bed.
"Told you it would work." Katie said looking at Lily and Caitlyn.
"Kat. You have five seconds. RUN!" Rachel said running after Katie, down the stairs and into the common room. "I'm going to kill you!" Rachel said chasing her out of the common room and into the hallway.
"Ahhh!" Katie screamed pushing the portrait hole open and running for her life. "Holy Crap!" Katie screamed looking behind her.
"Kat. Get you arse over here!" Rachel said getting closer to her.
"Oh. Hell, no!" Katie screamed over her shoulder. But right then James and Remus came walking up from breakfast. Katie ran into Remus who caught her by the arm.
"Dude. Whoah. Hold up." Remus said as James held Rachel by the arms.
"I'm gonna kill her!" Rachel screamed trying to get out of James' strong grip.
"Ahh!" Katie said dunking behind Remus.
"What the hell is going on?" James said really confused.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Katie said looking over Remus' shoulder.
"Grrr!" Rachel said finally claming down so James would let her go. "Let's just say that some isn't going to see the light of day." Rachel tried to jump put her but James was to fast for her and grabbed her around the waist.
"Actually. I already ha-"
"Shut up before you hurt someone." Remus ordered.
"Okay." Katie said dunking down behind his shoulder.
"Ray. Let's go back tot he common room." Remus said offering her his hand.
"Aight." Rachel said taking it.
"Kat, maybe we should go back too." James said but not offering her his hand but just turning around and walking.
"Hey, yo. Wait up for me." Katie screamed down the hall at James.

All the girls were at their beauty stations. They each looked equally amazing.
"I feel like a princess in this dress." Katie said applying eyeliner. All of the girls did their makeup and hair without magic. They all thought that it looked a lot more elegant and stunning.
****
Meanwhile all of the guys were in their dorms spiking their hair, trying to make look neat or just sitting and relaxing. They all looked handsome with the exception of Peter who was going with a Hufflepuff nerd in this fifth year.
"Dude, your hair is fine." Sirius said from his bed to James who was looking in the mirror and trying to tame his hair.
"Oh, screw it!" James said messing up his hair.
"Even better." Sirius said actually being serious.
"We better go and wait for the girls." Remus said picking up his jacket from his bed and walking to the door with everyone following him. Not long after the guys were in the common room (about and hour) did they hear the girls' dorm door open.
Caitlyn was the first one to exit. She looked amazing. When Sirius laid eyes on her they were ten times bigger and his jaw dropped. She was wearing a white long halter X dress. Her hair was in a bun with some of the strands spiking out.
"You look gorgeous." Sirius said when she approached.
"Thank you. You don't look half bad yourself." She replied looking him up and down.
"Why, thank you." He said pulling his tie tighter. But Caitlyn was right he did look good. He was wearing a black suit with a white button up shirt and a white and black pin striped tie.
Next one out was Rachel. She also looked amazing with her black one shoulder figure cut dress with the slit up the leg to her thigh. Her hair was down and in loose curls. Remus walked up to her and whispered something in her ear that made her laugh. Remus was wearing an all black suit with a black button up shirt with no tie. He looked mighty fine.
Katie soon followed her out of the door. She looked adorable. She was wearing a pink two-piece. She had her hair up in a simple bun at the top of her head wreathed in flowers. Her skirt was a plain skirt with a matching tube top that tied up the sides.
Lily was the last one to come out of the room. She looked maybe even more stunning than the other girls but not by much. She was wearing a bright red one-shoulder figure cut long dress that belled out at the feet. It had black flowers flowing down her chest to about maybe right past her knee made of jewels. Her hair was up in a tight bun. James just stood there frozen in time as she descended the stairs into the common room.
"You look like an angel." James said the first thing that popped into his head.
"And you look like the devil." Lily said standing next to him. But he was on fire. He was wearing a black suit, same as the guys but with a red button shirt with the top buttons undone and with out a tie.
"So. Let's get the show on the road." Katie said urgent to go and meet her date.
"Alright. Alright. Don't get your panties in a bunch." Rachel said walking after her holding Remus' hand. They were soon in the Great Hall. Katie was to busy looking for her date to even notice the amazing decorations. There was red, gold, silver, green, blue, yellow, and black draperies enter twined in each other and hanging over tables surrounding the enormous dance floor. Enter twined into the draperies were little fairy light to illuminate the room but not too much to make the atmosphere weird.
"It looks amazing." lily said quite out of breath from how beautiful the room looked
"Not as beautiful as you." James said under his breath.
"What?"
"Oh nothing." James said leading them over to an empty table. They all ordered the same thing to eat and when Dumbledore exited the back room the Great Hall soon quieted down a little.
"If I may have your attention than we can start the dance." Dumbledore paused to let everyone end his or her conversations. Before Dumbledore started again Katie came up to the table with her date Alex. He wore a black suit (about every guy at the dance did except the ones that wore the bright yellow or orange ones cause they usually got their clothes in the wizard world which they did by just not in a muggle clothing store) with a blue striped shirt unbuttoned at the top without a tie. They were holding hands and by the look of Katie's lipstick all over Alex's face (which he soon wiped off) they had been in the corner all dinner.
"Okay thank you all for coming. I hope that you all have a great time tonight. But before we can officially get this party started we need to announce the Homecoming King, Queen and their court. As you all know you voted in transfiguration one week ago and the vote have been counted. So we will begin as soon as possible."

Chapter 4
For the next couple of days Lily and James seemed to be avoiding each other. Lily would always be found in the library and James was always to be found out on the quidditch field.
"Oh. My. God. Lily." Rachel came running up to her in the library where she was studying.

Enter twined into the draperies were little fairy light to illuminate the room but not too much to make the atmosphere weird.
"It looks amazing." lily said quite out of breath from how beautiful the room looked
"Not as beautiful as you." James said under his breath.
"What?"
"Oh nothing." James said leading them over to an empty table. They all ordered the same thing to eat and when Dumbledore exited the back room the Great Hall soon quieted down a little.
"If I may have your attention than we can start the dance." Dumbledore paused to let everyone end his or her conversations. Before Dumbledore started again Katie came up to the table with her date Alex. He wore a black suit (about every guy at the dance did except the ones that wore the bright yellow or orange ones cause they usually got their clothes in the wizard world which they did by just not in a muggle clothing store) with a blue striped shirt unbuttoned at the top without a tie. They were holding hands and by the look of Katie's lipstick all over Alex's face (which he soon wiped off) they had been in the corner all dinner.
"Okay thank you all for coming. I hope that you all have a great time tonight. But before we can officially get this party started we need to announce the Homecoming King, Queen and their court. As you all know you voted in transfiguration one week ago and the vote have been counted. So we will begin as soon as possible."

*Just in case you guys are wondering. Yes that is the Katie that I put in the book. All the girls except Lily are some of my best friends but not all of them. They come in in the sequel. In case you are also wondering Katie is that big of a Spaz in real life as she is in the story. Sry Kat I had to say it. Also some of the events in the story are real so I hope you like it.
