CHAPTER 12: woop woop!

A/N: DELILAH EVANS ur on!

"LIIIIIIILY!" Sirius flounced into her room and drew open the curtains revealing the evil sunshine.

"SIRIUS GET OUT! AND SINCE WHEN DO I HAVE WINDOWS?" Lily screeched. She glanced at the clock and her face contorted. "Sirius, it's 5:45 in the morning on Saturday, why the hell are you up!"

Sirius looked crestfallen. "Lily, don't you know what today is? I can't believe you forgot?"

"I'm sorry Sirius, but I do NOT know what today is, and I don't really care, thank you very much..." Lily unsuccessfully tried to shove a pillow at him, but he just skipped away, avoiding it.

"Why...it's your birthday!
"Sirius, it's not my birthday."

"Then what's up with all those gifts in the lobby?" He smiled innocently.

Lily's eyes widened. "Sirius, today is NOT the 30th of October. Do you really think I am retarded enough to forget my own birthday?"

Sirius grinned, "But oh Lily! You must be forgetting what day the dance is! The dance is on the 31st, remember...and today is Saturday, the day before the ball. So that means that..."

She jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. She charmed her hair to be knot free and swiped on some gloss she sprayed some Michael Kors on her neck and wrist and searched her closet for her favorite jeans and a green polo.

Lily ran out of the door and was nearly deafened by the roar of clapping, 'whoop'ing, and music playing. In the main room about 75 sleepy looking teens were gathered. In the middle was an enormous stack of gifts.

Delilah Clark smirked and yelled out, "LOOK EVERYONE! IT'S LILY!" A new wave of sound rushed over her and she smiled. Shouts of 'Happy birthday Lily!' echoed throughout the room.

The girl rushed over to Lily and hugged her. Delilah Clark was one of her closest friends aside from the Marauders. She was in Ravenclaw unfortunately, but they still hung out a lot and studied together.

So this is what James meant about having a party... "Hey Del, long time no talk."
"Yeah, what is this I hear about you going out with said enemy?"
"Said rumor about said enemy and myself is true. Of course said incident was not voluntary. Said incident was a dare."
"Oh my god, how was it?"

"You better not tell anyone...but I really enjoyed myself and I had a great time. I learned that we get along really well, and whenever I'm around him I have fun, not to mention how nice and good looking he is." Why the hell did I tell Del that, she's a gossip, and is probably gonna tell everyone! NOOO, CURSE YOU POTION! It didn't wear off yet, GAH!

Lily smiled at Delilah. "Del, hold on a sec, is James here? Or Sirius? I need to talk to them now."
Del pointed in their direction, and Lily ran off trying to avoid the other guests.

"SIRIUS! I need the antidote to the potion. It didn't wear off yet and I accidentally told Delilah something I really really should NOT have."
"Ummm...I think Moony has it. Let me find him," Sirius walked off trying to find Remus.

"Good morning Lily, and a very happy birthday to you too,"
Lily whizzed around to see James holding a box that by the looks of it was very cold.
"Hey James! Good morning to you too. Sirius is trying to find me the antidote before I let anything that should NOT be uttered aloud slip..."

"That doesn't sound very good. It would be REALLY bad if you told Delilah something of that stature. You wouldn't be dumb enough to-...oh Lily...no, It's alright, I'm sure she wouldn't tell..." James pulled Lily into a comforting hug. "Here, open the gift I got you."

Lily's hands were covered in droplets of icy water that had perspired on the wrapping paper. She tore it off and found a tub of raspberry sorbet from Gelatina's. "James! You didn't need to! This is great let me put it in...dang, then don't have refrigerators...um..."

"You can put it in the cooler over there,"

"Good idea, I'll be right back!"

-- James' POV type thing --

As Lily walked off Delilah Clark rushed up to James. "Oh my GOD! I can't believe it! You will never believe what I just found out! I wanted to tell you first 'cuz other wise it would, like, so not be right!"

James raised his eyebrows and stared at Delilah. She's weird... Delilah clapped her hands together and hopped up and down.
"Del, does this have anything to do with what Lily told you?"
"YEAH! How did you know?" She flipped her brown hair over her shoulder.
"Oh, just wondering...you said you didn't tell anyone what you're gonna tell me yet, right?"
"Yeah...it would so not be right if everyone but you knew that Lily had the hotts for you..."
"Del, why don't we go get a drink...and you can tell me more about this..."

On the way to the refreshments table Delilah told James what Lily had said. James grinned and handed Del a butterbeer-not before tipping a little something in...
"Here's to me finally snagging Lily Evans." He raised his bottle and watched as Del drank a huge gulp of the drink. Her eyes got wide, and she shook her head a little.
"James, uh, I totally just lost my train of though. What was I saying before?"

James was laughing inside as he said, "Oh, you were just telling me that you were gonna go tell everyone that Malfoy wears one-sies to sleep."
Her brown eyes lit up in 'recognition'. "Yeah! I totally forgot, thanks James!"
She skipped away, passing on the news to whomever would listen.

-- Lily's POV type thing again --

"Ok, I'm back James. Sorry it took so long. Just about every person I passed stopped me and tried to have a conversation."
"It's okay. You will never guess who I just was talking with. Delilah Clark."

Lily's eyes went wide and she began fidgeting.

"I just wanted to know if you would like to be my date for tomorrow's ball."
"I would like nothing more!" Lily exclaimed.
James bent down to whisper "Del's secret is safe with me. I doubt she'll be telling anyone anything other than 'Malfoy wears a one-sie'."

A/N: lame, I know...but I had to do it. Puahahaha. Soon I'm going to make the chapter w/ the exchange student's diaries. Sorry Delilah Evans for making you sound so mean, haha, don't worry, she gets nicer, you'll see!
