Most of the students were still standing around the stage when Sirius and Remus escorted Lily back into the Prom. James was nowhere to be seen. When the students noticed Lily standing there, most look surprised and even shocked to see her.
Holding her head up high, Lily strode across the dance floor to where Graeme was standing.
Knowing that Lily was going to say something personal, Dumbledore saved her from further embarrassment and made the band start playing again.
'Graeme,' Lily ventured. 'I'm sorry.'
Not meeting her eyes, Graeme said, 'I know.'
'Do you? I didn't mean to hurt you. That's the last thing I wanted to do. I was just speaking from my heart.'
Graeme looked up then and took one of Lily's hands into his. 'Lily, I know. I'm glad you did. I would rather have you be honest with me, than you to pretend that you liked me. You're a great girl and I'm glad you came with me. Friends?'
'Oh, of course!' Lily pulled him into a hug. 'So you're not mad at me for choosing James?'
'How can I be? It wasn't really your choice to make. Love makes those choices for you, not really caring about the outcome. It's too bad yours ended badly. Well, enough of this. Let's dance.'
'OK.'
Graeme pulled Lily onto the dance floor where they stayed for the rest of the Prom. James was nowhere to be found.
