Dear Diary,

The ball's over now. I have to admit it was great. James and I work well together.

I arrived at the ball with Remus and opened the ball with James. As we waltzed together I couldn't help notice how well he danced and how nice he felt. I'm almost certain he felt the same, as he seemed so reluctant for us to part at the end of the song. However, we stopped dancing and I went over to join Remus, smiling at him. We danced and talked for the first hour before I propelled him to Eva. I left them together with only the explanation of needing to get changed.

I left the hall and went to the nearest prefect bathroom where I had left my other outfit. I slipped off my dress and pulled on the next, after changing into Daisy. Using spells I found in the library I charmed my make-up on and my corset up. Adjusting my hair, I gave myself a once over before leaving the prefect bathroom to meet James.

I walked into the Great Hall and searched for James. I found him talking to the other Marauders, Vicki and Eva. I strolled over and caught the last of their conversation before James noticed me.

"Are you sure she doesn't mind? I mean, you were her date," James was asking Remus.

"Positive, she only asked because she had to have one and I'm her friend," he explained, smiling at me. "Oh, and your date's here."

James turned to face me and if I had to describe the expression on his face it was awe, possibly wonderment. Definitely a Kodak moment. I smiled at him and then at the twins and Remus.

"Hey Daisy! I was beginning to think you had stood me up," James greeted me.

"Yeah, sorry about that. Something came up and made me late but I dealt with it and I'm here now," I smiled cheerfully at him.

"Everything ok?" James asked, obviously concerned.

"Yeah, thanks for asking, it was sweet of you," I smiled at him before turning to the others. "Hey girls, Remus, Sirius, Peter."

"Oh, do you know each other then?" Sirius asked, making all three of us smile.

"You could say that," Vicki answered.

"In a manner of speaking," Eva finished.

"I know someone who's friends with both of them," I explained. "Lily? She was the one who suggested I ask you out, James. She said you weren't a bad guy and she'd really appreciate it if someone stopped you from asking her out. I think she might like you better if you did," I teased playfully knowing it was only encouraging him to ask me out more, which I'll regret by tomorrow.

"I'll keep that in mind although I'm surprised she said such nice things about me. Do you want to dance?" James replied.

"Sure."

We danced for the rest of the night and there was chemistry between us. I'm not sure if that means anything or not between Lily and James though - I'm not sure if I like James. He's cute and a lot more mature than he used to be. He's also kind, loyal and funny but there's something holding me back, something stopping me from liking him. There's just something wrong.
