A.N. On with the story!
Lily and James, Lovers? I Think Not
The music started slow. It was a tango, full of life and sensual. One figure on the dance floor started to move, circling around the other, tempting him to make a move. Finally, he does. He motions to grab her, but she dances out of his reach, he chases after her, and finally catches up. He wraps her arms down to her sides in one quick motion. She accepts defeat and together, go though the dance. A certain tension is in the air, an atmosphere created by these two. People clamber up on their chairs to get a better look.
He struggles for the lead, but she takes it back. Back and forth until, she gives the lead to him. He takes it and pulls her to him, literally sweeping her off her feet. He seems to almost seduce her into this dance. They dance closely and she spins out. He pulls her in, dips her, and she leans into him. The tempo picks up and she gets really into it. They dance for a few more precious moments and as the music starts to fade, he pulls her to him once more.
The audience from Hogwarts and other schools alike burst into applause. Even Snape was seen to be clapping enthusiastically (Can you imagine him dancing?!). The announcer took the stage.
"Well done Lily and James. Now, I would like all of our contestants together for one great big round of applause."
*Applause*
"Now it's time to give out the trophies. Third place is Durmstrang with Victoria and Conner. Second place is Wictashi with Tamaria and Jacob. The first place winners are…Lily and James for Hogwarts!!!!!!!!!!!" the announcer announced.
"Oh my gosh James we won!" Lily cried
"Ack! Lily, I'm really happy we won but please try NOT to strangle me!" choked out James.
"Oh sorry!" Lily said "Come on, let's get our trophy!"
The trophy was huge! It was a gold trophy with a figure of a girl and a boy posing mounted on the top. Everybody took pictures and threw roses and teddy bears, and everything.
The rest of the year, or what was left of it, went by in a blur. Before long, the final, Final exams were taken and it was time to leave.
Night before graduation:
"Well this is it Lily, our last night!" James cried happily
"I'm gonna miss this place" Sirius sighed
"Sirius is getting sentimental? What a moment! Wait till I tell my future kids that!" cried Sue
"You mean our future kids right?" questioned Sirius
"Of course." she agreed
"Remus, Kimmie, where have you two been?" greeted Sirius
"You didn't do anything I wouldn't do right?" called out James
"Ouch! Stop hitting me Lily!"
"Just think, it's gonna be our last night here, ever. No more studying in the common rooms, no more sneaking down to the kitchens, no more pranks, no more teachers to talk to, no more keeping Moony company under the willow, no more sneaking off to other dorms, no more pranking the Slytherins, no more hearing Lily scream James name around the hall…" sighed Sirius
"I know what you mean, this means we'll never be back as students, ever." Reminded Lily
"I can't wait to go out into the world and all, but this is like leaving home." Said Sue
"I won't be able to wake up to Sirius's bouncing on my bed, or hearing Moony's mirror call out the time, and all the other stuff I'm used to." Reminisced James
"Well, we'll always be together right?" asked Remus
"Right." Answered Lily, for everyone
"I know I'll miss the secret passageways. It was always fun exploring them, even though it was dangerous." Reminisced Kimmie
"My gosh, we spent seven years here. So much has happened since first year." Lily sighed
"There's one thing that I won't miss though." Said James
"What's that?" asked Lily
"Our fights. I don't know how we made it last till our seventh year, but I think that was far too long. Lily, I really like you and I don't know what to do about it. I know there's probably tons of other guys out there but Lily, will you...marry me?" Asked James breathlessly
"Oh James, of course!" I love you!" cried Lily, pulling James into a long, sweet kiss
"Wait till I tell Peter this!" Sue exclaimed
"What" asked Peter, clueless as usual. He had just come in from who knows where. (A.N. More like you-know-who if you ask me.)
"Guess what Peter?! You owe me 20 sickles! James asked Lily to marry her! Can you believe it?" Exclaimed Sue
"Whh..whaaa…WHAT?!" Peter said before fainting
"Hm…of all the reactions I'd expect from him, it certainly wasn't that." Remarked Remus
"Remus!" reprimanded Kimmie
"What? Did I say something wrong?" he asked innocently
Everyone laughed, but sobered up quickly thinking of what lied in the future for them. A 6th year took Peter up to the infirmary while all sat and mused.
"Oh gosh, I can't believe we're leaving! I can't ever go through the secret passageways again! I'll never be able to bug Snape an turn his hair pink again!" cried Sirius
Again silence ensued.
"Hey guys?" Lily spoke up. "Everyone, promise we'll never drift apart ok? I know some people say that and never see each other again, but, but tell me that won't be us? We'll be together right?"
"Right. Let's promise right now, never to lose contact no matter if we're mad at each other ok?" asked Sirius
"Oh wait, hold out your hands and link arms in a circle like this." Sue demonstrated
Everyone did so.
"Ok, on the count of three say Connotus Fove" she instructed
"1...2…3…"
"Connotus Fove" everyone shouted
A pulsing light came in the center of the circle. Out of everyone involved, shot a different aura. From James, a white stag erupted. From Lily, a flower, like her namesake. From Remus, a blue eyed wolf. Kimmie had a swirl of ribbon. Sirius of course, had a shaggy black dog with a party hat on his head. Sue had a majestic falcon flying in front of her. They swirled around with each other, until each went into the center light. The light lingered, and then vanished.
"I think I should have asked earlier, but what was that?" asked Lily
"A spell I learned as a kid. It binds the people involved together with pure magic. It will be able to tell when those who preformed it were in trouble. If someone…if someone dies, a little part of light from your body will come out, and the person's earth spirit, a falcon, stag, flower, wolf, ribbon, or dog will come out. It's real neat. It's like having someone, or rather, six someone's there with you." Sue explained
"Cool!" cried Remus
"We won't let it come down to that will we?" asked Kimmie
"Never. We'll be there till the end." Agreed Remus
"Till the end." Everyone chorused together.
The End!
OMG! *sobs* I actually finished! I started this fic a lifetime ago, its seems, but it was actually only last year. I will write spin offs with Sirius, Sue, Kimmie, and Remus. Don't worry, I'll try to start and finish that soon ok? Thanks for being the greatest reviewers ever!
