And again sorry

"Really James your acting like big baby," James's mother said.

"No I am not," James said. James and his mother were in James's room (which was messy) getting James ready for Eliza's party. James's mother was trying to brush James's hair. Fortunately for James it wasn't working but it stile hurt a lot.

"Why do I have to go anyways?" James complained.

"She's you friend." She took out her wand and tapped his hair four times muttering.

"Not even magic can make it flat", his mother exclaimed. James rolled his eyes.

"It's a formal party. You know that I hate formal parties," James said.

"Yes I know but that stile doesn't give you the reason to miss it," his mother said. She grabbed the brush again and started brushing. James winced in pain.

" I feel like a bloody girl," James said.

"Language James… oh this is hopeless." She threw the brush aside and glared at James as though this is his fault. Just then, the door opened.

"Hello Jamsie-poo," Sirius said. He was wearing black dress robs. His hair was cut to his eyes.

"New hair cut Padfoot," James said ignoring the name-calling.

"Nice huh?" Sirius said. He ran his hand through his hair.

"Excited Sirius?" James's mother asked.

"Not really," Sirius said.

"You are just like James," James's mother said sighing. She held a brown blouse. She smelled it then looked disgusted at it.

"Why James I thought you of all people would want to go," Sirius said almost tripping on a hat.

"Why?"

"Evans is going to be there," Sirius said. He smirked at James's impression. "I guess you didn't know."

"Oh mum try that spell again," James said. His mother laughed.

"Oh you do it for that girl and not for me," his mother said. She had a pill of clothes in her hand now.

"These robs are ugly," James moaned. He looked down at his blue robes.

"They are not. You look handsome," James's mother said.

"Come on now we are getting late," James's father who just appeared at the door said.

……………………………………

"Oh Lily you look beautiful," lily's mum said. They were in lily's room getting ready. Lily was wearing green Silk Spaghetti Strap Dress. It went down to her knee. Lily's wore her hair down with a couple of green clips.

"Do I have to go?" petunia said. She wore black strapless dress that reached her knee too. Her long blond hair was in a tight bun.

"Yes petunia," lily's mum said sternly. She was wearing long blue dress.

"Get down my three beautiful women," lily's father said from downstairs.

Lily's mum smiled she took her purse and pointed to the door. Lily and Petunia followed their mother out.

"Ahh I am a lucky man. Three beautiful women escorted by me," lily's father said when they reached down. They smiled and then went to the car after putting their coats on.

…………………………………….

"James stop winning, I'm regretting telling you that Evans is going to be here." James glared at Sirius. The Potters had arrived at the McKinnons at half past five and for the past half hour, James was complaining about his robes, hair, eyes, body, and about every tiny thing about him that might not like Evans.

"Who said anything about Evans," James said, who apparently returned to himself.

"Black and Potter what a pleasure to have you at my house." Both James and Sirius looked around to find Eliza. Sirius's eyes roamed up and down. Eliza was wearing a V-nick purple dress; it showed Eliza's Legs since it reached her knees.

"Well Eliza you look absolutely beautiful," James said politely.

"Yeah those Legs hmmm." Sirius made a hungry sound. Eliza slapped his head.

"Keep your Brain clean", Eliza said.

"Sorry but it's too dirty right now to be cleaned", Sirius replied. Just then Emily and Anna Appeared next to Eliza. Emily was wearing long strapless silver dress. Anna was wearing Blue Drop Waist Dress that reached her knees.

"Then let me bring a mop and mop it for you," Anna said.

"That'll take about ten Mops," Sirius said.

"Then I'll help her," Alice who just arrived said. She was wearing pink dress that ended just a little below her knees.

"I would be glad," smirked Sirius. Everyone rolled their eyes.

"So…. Where's Evans", James tried to ask causally.

"She was behind us so I think she would be here in minute." Everyone jumped and turned to see Remus with Peter.

"Hello Lupin," Anna said.

"Hi Pettigrew," Emily said. James's eyes caught the red hair that just emerged from the crowd. Lily Evans the beautiful Woman was coming towards them, Her long red hair flowing behind her and that beautiful dress. James couldn't take his eyes off her as she approached Eliza and everyone, and almost melted when she nodded to him even if it was a small nod.

The girls turned around to the other side of the hall and left the boys alone.

"Prongs if you're finished staring at Evans I suggest you stop drooling."

"Yeah when you take you eyes off Emily I will take mine of Evans Moony." Remus blushed. Just then, the hall went quiet and a single light was pointed at the top of the stairs. A beautiful Woman Appeared. She had Long Black hair. She was wearing golden dress that covered her nicely. Next to her was a Handsome Young man. They started walking down the stairs. When they reached in the middle of the hall the started dancing when soft music started playing. After a few minutes, other couples joined them.

"James I see your girl hasn't been asked yet, go ask her," James's mother said.

"What!" James said.

"Ask Her or else," his mother whispered in his ear. James nodded. Knowing at least that the girls in formal parties in the magical word couldn't say no to a man who asks them to dance. It seemed like years tell he reached Lily.

"May I have this dance madam," James said the without thinking about it he bowed.

……………………………..

What in the name, lily thought.

James potter just asked her to dance and the he BOWED which of course made the whole hall stare at her so she couldn't say no. Especially when his mother and father where in the same room.

"Yes you may," lily said. Then she added in whisper. "I will kill you potter."

"Now, now Evans don't be rude," James said. He placed his hand on lily's waist and held her other hand while she placed her own hand on his shoulder.

"You know you could pretend to be happy," James said. Lily glared at him.

"It's enough I have to touch you, you want me to pretend to be happy about it."

"Yeah for incase you haven't noticed we are the center of attention." James said. Lily looked around. And sure enough, everyone was looking at them.

"That's because of your little show off back there," lily said. She pulled her self-up and smiled.

"I did it on purpose so you would say yes." Lily scowled.

"I hate you," lily said.

"No you don't." lily glared at him again and they continued their dance in silence.

"Really James the girl looked unhappy. What have you done to her," James's mother said.

"nothin' I gut lifj er," James said his mouth full of food.

"Don't talk with your mouth full", his mother said.

"Now, now Annie I charmed you the exact same way." James looked thankfully at his dad.

"Aneeta Potter ezz zat you," a Woman with long dark hair said.

"ahh yes I thing you are Marlene's mother," James's mother stood and greeted the woman.

"Yeas you are right, ezz zat James your son," the woman pointed at James. James who just took a gulp of hot tea swallowed it very fast that it burned his throat.

"Hello Ms." James said.

"And a gentleman.. What a shame," she added. James looked confused. But his parents didn't acknowledge that.

"As mater of fact, James was just going to ask Marlene to dance", James's mother said.

"Wha.. Um right I was," James said, when he saw the woman's face brighten he sigh.

"Oh she's just right there," the woman said.

James stood up and went to the girl Marlene.

"May I have this dance," he said without bowing.

"Um yes you may." James led them to the dance floor and they saw Sirius dancing with a blonde girl. Marlene placed her hand on his shoulder and took his hand while James hastily put his hand on her waist. James felt like he was cheating on lily.

"So you didn't bow like you did to lily," Marlene said smirking.

"Yeah Well…"

"I Assume you are James Potter", Marlene said.

"Um yes." Marlene laughed.

"If I'm making you nervous just tell me", Marlene said. James blushed and relaxed. This girl isn't bad after all, James thought.

"How do you know me," asked James.

"I don't think your parents told you huh?" Marlene said.

"No I don't think so."

"We were arranged to tie the knot," Marlene said smiling.

"What," James said.

"But your parents didn't want that", Marlene said.

"Of course they wont," James said. Then he added. "No offence."

"None taken." For the next half hour, James and Marlene talked and talked. James noticed how easy it is to talk to her. She was funny and loved Quidditch. And to James's great happiness, Marlene was coming to Hogwarts this year.

………………………………………..

"Look how happy he looks John", Annie said. She was watching her son laughing with Marlene. John smiled.

"I can't tell him John," Anita said after a moment.

"What," John said.

"Imagine what his reaction would be when we tell him he wont marry the woman he loves," Annie said. John frowned. He hated talking about this subject.

"We have to tell him Anita and you know it," John said.

"I never imagined telling my own son that he must marry a woman he doesn't love," Annie said.

"Anita we tried to make them fall in love but they didn't", John said.

"Did you see the way he looked at Lily Evans and to think he will have to marry her friend," Anita said.

"Remember what we talked about Anita, it's for the magical world's safety," John said.

"Oh James," Annie said. John knew his wife was going to cry if he didn't do something.

"Annie forget about this right now, we'll worry when it comes, but right now enjoy you last few months in this world," he said. Annie smiled.

"Well I'm glad we will take the journey of death together," Annie said. John smiled he kissed her.

"Ah John I see the Evans lets talk to them," Annie said pointing her head to a woman and the man in the back of the hall.

"I must ask her where she got her dress it's beautiful." John smiled his wife was strange but he loved her for that. He stood and followed her passing James. And John knew that the look f happiness would be removed from his son when he hears he must marry Emily Jones.
