Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or setting, they belong to J.K. Rowling. But you should know that by now.
The next week went by slowly. It seemed like all anyone could talk about was the ball.
For Lily and James, the week went by a bit faster. They did what Lily thought she'd never be doing in her life, having quickies in random broom closets across campus in between classes. Lily didn't know it, but James had a goal to shag her in as many places that he could by the end of their seventh year.
Eventually the eagerly awaited day was upon them. "I'll meet you in the common room at five, love." Lily smiled, pulling on one of James's shirts and climbing out of his bed.
"Do you have to go?" James groaned. "This is possibly the only Friday we'll ever have without classes and we could be shagging!"
"I need as much time as I can get to get ready!" Lily laughed, kissing him softly. "Don't forget. Five sharp!" She called before walking out of his dorm and over to hers.
"What took you so long?!" Marlene groaned. "We're wasting time!" Her, Alice, and Mary were all waiting in the middle of the room for Lily's plans for their day since Lily was the most organized out of the group.
"Sorry. It's hard to get out of bed with James." Lily giggled. "Anyways. We start with showers. Alice, you first. Then Mary, Marlene, and I'll go last. Don't forget to brush your teeth. I have bath robes with our names on them waiting on the rack. That's what you'll put on before coming out of the bathroom." She explained. "No longer than twenty minutes each! We're on a tight schedule."
And with that the girls all went and took their showers, waiting with towel wrapped heads in their bathrobes. "These are cute, Lily." Alice complemented.
"Thanks, Alice." Lily beamed. "Alright. Now it's nails and makeup. Then we'll do hair and get into our lingerie and dresses." Lily giggled. "And then it'll be time to go meet the boys for pictures!" She squealed excitedly.
The girls chatted excitedly about how they guys would look in their tuxes and how the ball would be and before they knew it they were ready to walk downstairs.
"Ready?" Lily grinned, charming a couple of cameras to follow the group throughout the night. She wanted to remember this forever.
"Lets go." Alice giggled, pulling them out of the room.
"It's 4:59...where are they?" James asked, glancing at a clock nervously.
"Um...Prongs..." Remus pointed up to the stairs where Lily was leading the group of girls down the stairs.
"Wow..." James gulped, nearly dropping the wrist corsage he had for Lily. "She's perfect." He breathed.
Author's Note: ANNNNDDD CLIFF HANGER! Hopefully I'll update within a week. I'm not really sure when I'll have time. But it's really the reviews that keep me writing. The next chapter will be about James and Lily's night at the ball. I might continue with in this fic after or start a new one about their lives together. hope you liked this chapter! (:
