Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I am doing standardize testing at school so I have a lot of homework and I broke my ankle so I have been kinda busy with stuff. But I'm bored now and I realized I haven't posted. I'm guessing most of you don't read the authors not so I'll bold this:

PJO Fans: I have a new Tratie one-shot and I am wondering if I should post it? Thank you!

So hope you guys are liking this story. I may have to put it on hold because something got screwed up with the last few chapters. If I put it on hold I will notify you guys. I'm sorry but I will work on it as much as I can. Maybe I can even get some of The Epilogue That Never Happened done.

I don't Harry Potter!

Chapter 10

"Oh my god! He was going to ask you, wasn't he?!" Rose squealed. After two weeks I finally told her about James and I's conversation. I blushed looking down.

"Hey! You put that head back up so I can finish your makeup!" Roxanne commanded and I jerked my head up quickly. "I don't care if you're embarrassed about your feelings for my cousin. You won't ruin my masterpiece."

"I don't have feelings for your cousin." I muttered, glaring slightly. She raised an eyebrow but I just rolled my eyes.

"Oh my god! You guys could like get married then you will really be part of the fam-!"

"No!" I yelled, mortified. "I'm not marrying him!"

"Well not yet." Lily laughed. I glared at her as she leaned by Rose, doing her hair. "We could be sisters! And you and Rose and Roxanne can be cousins! This is perf-!"

"Stop it, you guys! I don't have feelings for P-... James and I'm not marrying him. Ever." I huffed. The girls smirked at each other and I groaned in frustration, still completely mortified.

"Done!" Roxanne and Lily yelled at the same time. They smirked at each other, looking like they were about to say jinx.

"Go put on that dress before you look at yourself." Rose smiled. I sighed and walked over to the corner where I took off my shirt, leaning my spandex and bra on. I put the dress on and Lily zipped up the back.

I looked at the other girls. Roxanne was wearing a red dress that matched her darkish skin and had on mascara and cat eyes. Lily wore her dress with light brown eyeshadow and light pink lipstick. Rose wore her dress and natural looking make up since she really didn't need it.

"You are so pretty, Kaity!" Lily clapped.

I turned and looked in the mirror next to me. The girl staring back was beautiful.

Her long red hair was natural, laying down on her shoulders and back. Her dress fit her perfectly, hugging every curve but not making her look trashy. Her light skin looked good with the black, which I didn't expect. But her eyes were the prettiest. I took a step closer to the mirror to see her better. Each eyelash was defined and long. Eyeliner was along her waterline as Roxanne had said. The same blackness was slightly above her eyelashes. Everything made her eyes stand out.

"Oh my gosh." I whispered. I couldn't believe the girl in the mirror was me. I turned to the girls and they beamed at me.

"I gotta go find Carter. Good luck girls." Roxanne grinned and winked before leaving my dormitory.

"I have to go meet Lucas outside since you know he's a, uh, Slytherin." Lily laughed slightly. She smiled and took off.

"Put on your shoes." Rose sadi pointing to the flats. I shook my head. "You are not wearing your boots."

"Come on Rosie!"

"No."

"Please! They are just combat boots! They might look good!"

"Nope."

"I'll do anything!"

"Anything?" The glint in her eyes was terrifying. I nodded slowly. She grinned. "You have to dance with a boy tonight."

"What?"

"Yep. A boy. Not me. A boy. A slow dance."

I looked at Rose, feeling the urge to call her Satan. Her smile didn't waver as I glared harshly at her. We sat like that for a minute.

"Fine!"

Rose smiled broadly and held out her arm as I pulled on my boots.

"Kaitlyn Davis, will you be my date to the Spring Dance?"

I glared at her for a minute but couldn't help but smile at my Ravenclaw best friend.

"If I have to." I grinned and hooked my arm in hers.

**At the Dance**

Walking in the door was enchanting. The Great Hall's tables were gone and were replaced with a dance floor and circular tables on the outside. The ground was green as if you were standing in grass. There were trees on the walls that had flowers and flowers fell from the ceiling but never hit the ground.

"Wow." I muttered.

"I know right?" Rose grinned. "Oo! We need to get pictures. My mom wanted to see me in her old dress!"

"Okay."

"We have to go find Al, Lily, and James though. My parents wanted them in the picture too. I'll go find Al and Lily. You go find James."

Rose didn't even give me a choice as she ran off to find her cousins. I looked up the beautiful ceiling and glared.

"Why?" I whispered angrily before lowering my head and turning, looking around for the guy I had been avoiding for two weeks. My eyes searched the crowd as I walked around. I felt stares on me, probably because I am wearing black and nobody else is.

When I caught sight of James, I stepped toward him and then froze. He was with his friends as three girls half-circled them. I felt a tug at my stomach but I ignored it. Nick and Wood were both wearing a normal suit, like everyone else. James was wearing a white dress-shirt rolled up to his elbows, a black tie, and black dress-pants. I had never seen him so dressed up before even if it wasn't even as close to as dressy as everyone else.

I gathered my courage and walked up to him. I pushed through the girls.

"Hey!"

"What's wrong with you?"

The girls complained but I ignored them.

"Rose needs you to come take a picture." I said quickly. James seemed stunned for a second. His eyes were wide.

"I, uh, you…" he stuttered. I looked at him weirdly. Nick and Wood grinned at me. They seemed to know something I didn't.

"I think he means you look really pretty tonight Kaitlyn." Nick laughed. I blushed and rolled my eyes. James shot them a glare.

"Oh I bet that is what he means." I said sarcastically. James looked back at me, seemingly stunned by my sarcasm. "Come on, you idiot."

I grabbed his elbow and dragged him to where the pictures were being taken as I waited for Rose. James seemed to snap out of it. He smiled at me and I smiled politely before looking the other way. I pretended to look for Rose but I really just didn't want to meet his eyes.

"Are you avoiding me, Davis?" James asked after a second. I heard the smirk in his voice.

"No." I muttered, not turning to him.

"You have always been a terrible liar."

I looked at him but he was already looking at me. I felt bad for ignoring him these past two weeks.

"Sorry."

"Don't apologize for having a good trait." he said coldly, obviously annoyed. His mood seemed to change so quickly. I glared up at him.

"I'm sorry but I said something that usually wouldn't have said and I was embarrassed by it." I sighed. "Have a nice time, Potter."

I walked away quickly before he could say anything back.
