There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
What you build you
Lay to waste
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
What I've got's
What you
Didn't take.
Sarah woke up that morning with all her memories of last night drifting away. Lily had woken up telling them to go get their dresses on, and do their hair.
Sarah went to go put on her dress. First of all, Lily was wearing a beautiful green dress with no straps. It was the same shade of green as her eyes. Her hair was down and she looked gorgeous.
Alice's dress was a brilliant shade of sky blue. It went up to her ankles and glittered. It had spaghetti straps, and her hair was in a bun on the side of the back of her head. There were loose strands of hair, fitting her face perfectly. She looked angelic.
Vickie was wearing a red dress with one sleeve. Her dress was tied in the middle. It went just up to her knees, and had glitter on the sleeve and at the bottom. Her hair was just simply down, and had glitter in it, also. She was beautiful.
Sarah's dress was green and blue. It had no straps or sleeves and went down to her knees, but the right side of the dress expanded 'till her ankle. Her hair pulled on the side of her head, and came down in pretty curls at one end. She had a little glitter on her dress, and her hair.
All the girls gasped. "Oh my God! You look amazing!" yelled Lily.
Alice smiled and said, "You look gorgeous!"
Vickie jumped up and down yelling "God, all the boys are going to go crazy!"
Sarah blushed a bit, and everyone laughed. They walked down the steps to meet their dates. Except Sarah.
Once James got a look at Lily he was shocked. He hugged her tightly as she giggled.
Remus kissed Alice on the cheek and said "You look wonderful."
Mark picked up Vickie, twirled her around and kissed her hand as he put her hand.
Sarah looked around at all the boys that were looking at her. She looked for Sirius—she didn't know why him specifically—but couldn't find him.
She went and sat down. Sarah was waiting and waiting, but not sure for what.
Finally as the music started and people began dancing, something caught her attention.
There was Sirius dancing with a girl. She felt her heart break into little pieces. Everything was slowly happening. Then a boy named Derek came to ask her to dance. He was a fourth year, smart, athletic, and cute. Sarah decided to agree to dance with him.
As she danced with him—thank God—it was a fast song. They danced and she actually started to laugh and have fun. He made funny jokes, and basically mended her heart and made it full again. She was having so much with him, until he finally stopped abruptly.
"Derek, everything okay?"
He shook his head looking straight ahead. "I think Black's going to kill me."
Sarah became shocked and slumped her shoulders. "Well, okay then, I'll just go." She waved and sat down, watching everyone having fun—including Sirius.
He was dancing with more than one girl at a time, but none seemed to mind this at all. Sarah felt tears threatening to come out, so she quickly looked away from them.
Sarah decided to leave, so she went back up to her dormitory. She changed her clothes and threw her dress across the room. She never wanted to see it again.
She hopped onto her bed, and cried silently. Tears came down so hard it stained her face with make-up. She brought out her journal and began writing a poem.
"Dancing
The music is soft
Yet not unheard.
The people dance slow
But not unnoticed
I am waiting
And I am falling
I wait to see you
Your eyes
Your smile
Your soul
But you never show
I cry silently, never shedding a tear
Because I know
People are dancing
Everyone but
Me."
Sarah was an amazing writer and she wanted for all her pain to just disappear. She wanted it all to go away. She just wanted everything to be over.
Then she heard a door open, and she put away her journal. She wiped her eyes, but knew it wouldn't help. She pretended to be asleep, so that Alice, Vickie, and Lily could all enjoy their night.
They came in laughing and talking about how much fun they had, and apparently, they all had boyfriends now.
After they closed the light Sarah snuck down to the common room, only to see Potter there as well.
She went and sat down, not acknowledging his presence. He must've seen her make-up though, for he came and asked, "What's wrong, Sarah?"
"Nothing." She croaked.
"But you're crying! Tell me what's wrong!"
"I said nothing, leave me alone!" she yelled at him. She turned her face to look at him, and he immediately hugged her. She hugged him back, just wanting to be comforted. Sarah started crying again, as he held her and stroked her back. She eventually stopped and they separated feeling quite awkward. When she said "Thanks." And kissed his cheek—they were like brother and sister, okay?—she heard someone say, "What's going on here?"
Sirius...
