A/N: Sorry it took so long, it wasn't supposed to but I ended up having to get surgery on my knee. But I'm back now, it's almost new years, and I thought I'd write this for you guys. BTW, (by the way), I'm going away for a few days to visit my Grandfather who is really sick, so I won't be able to update for a few days, but I hope to get on a steady pace. And I was thinking about possibly ending this story soon, so tell me what you think. Keep going or stop? And ideas would be greatly appreciated.

YKYLM,

T

Lily and Emmeline stood in the middle of the dance floor, laughing and dancing together playfully. They mouthed the words and mimed them dramatically with their hands. Alice had been taken off by Frank already, and the two girls had let her go willingly, hoping something would happen with her and Frank.

Lily twirled loosely, her hair whipping around and her hands threw up in the air, laughing as her hips swayed her around. Suddenly, she felt someone take her hands and spin her around by them. Looking up, she saw the face of James smiling back at her. When he finished by twirling her into his arms ballroom-style, she looked back at Emmeline, who was dancing with Remus modestly, but in a way that showed that the two were attracted to each other. Satisfied, Lily turned back to James.

"Have I told you yet you look beautiful?" Lily leaned back and looked into his eyes. She kissed him lingeringly, and pulled back, biting her lip.

"Thanks. It was quiet without you today."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. It was nice to hang out with the guys, but I missed you."

"I missed you too."

"It's good to see you again, Em."

"Good to see you too, Remus. How's your vacation been going?"

"It's been good. How about yours?"

"Fun. There's been a lot of romance. Lily and James, and I think something is going to happen with Alice and Frank, too."

I wish our names were on that list too. Alice Thought.

"Mm. James has been talking about Lily nonstop."

"Yeah. All of Lily's letters have been filled with James. Especially how sweet he is, and how nice his parents are. I've already picked out the bridesmaids dress."

Remus laughed. "Well, I'm sure that dress it beautiful." Just like you.

"I try."

Frank and Alice sat at a small two-person table in the corner, chatting lightly with glasses of virgin champagne.

"You know what I don't understand? Pet rocks. What's the point of petting something that can't even move?"

"Well, maybe some people can't take on the responsibility of taking care of a real pet satisfactorily, or maybe they want to feel closer to nature."

"You always try to find the good in people, don't you?"

Alice shrugged modestly.

Saturday Night Fever came on and Alice immediately looked up. That was one of her favorite songs. Ever since Lily had showed her Saturday Night Fever, she had been in love with John Travolta. Frank, noticing Alice's reaction to the song, stood up and held his hand out.

"Wanna dance?"

Alice placed her hand in Frank's gracefully. "I'd love to."

The first of the two girls pushed through the crowd of people.

He walked up to a couple dancing closely.

"Have you seen James Potter?" They shook their heads.

She walked through a group of 6 or 7 people talking, parting them forcefully.

"Have you seen James Potter?" No knew where he was.

"Has no one seen him? Isn't he a host?" She muttered to herself, huffing as she made her way through everybody.

"So, I'm gonna go. Wish me luck."

Regulus smiled at Bellatrix cynically. "Good Luck."

Pushing her hips from side to side exaggeratedly, Bellatrix seductively walked over to Peter. Trailing her hand down his arm from behind, she breathed into his ear. "Hey."

Peter looked down nervously. "H-hi."

"Do you wanna go… talk somewhere?"

"O, um, o-ok, s-s-sure."

Bella pulled Peter out of the room and into the large bathroom.

Here goes nothing. Bella thought as she made her move, ready for her plan to finally be completed.

Remus checked his watch, noticing it was nearing midnight. He broke off from Emmeline, stood on a chair, and put a sonorous charm on himself.

"Ok, so, it's getting close to midnight, so were gonna start the countdown clock." He waved his wand and the magical floating numbers started counting down from 20. 20 minutes until midnight.

"You know Lily, I really have had a fun time with you this vacation."

"I had fun with you too. I love your parents."

"With all the girlfriends I have had, you are the first that I can imagine being with for the rest of my life."

"Same here. Except boyfriends. And about you, not me. I'm not saying I can imagine spending the rest of my life with myself. Well, I am going to spend the rest of my life with myself, because I am myself but, well, help me here?" James laughed at how Lily's sweet sentiment began to take a more confusing turn.

"It's ok, I know what you mean. But in all seriousness, you are the most amazing girl that I have ever met."

Lily got a little chocked up and had a hard time responding, so she kissed James as hard as she could. Because if a picture said a thousand words, than a kiss said two thousand.

10 Minutes.

Alice and Frank were still dancing, her arms around his neck so that her wrists were pressed again his shoulders, and his arms wrapped around her hips.

"Thank you for this vacation. I really have had a lot of fun with you."

"You too. But I was hoping that it didn't have to end. We can still hang out when school gets back in, right?"

"Right, of course." Alice responded, her smile slightly fake. Just hang out?

5 Minutes.

Bellatrix stood in front of peter in only in only her undergarments. He was sitting on the side of the tub, and she walked over, straddling him seductively.

"So, have you thought about it?"

The Marauders were getting ready for the party, but Peter had something else on his mind. He was thinking about Bella had said, and gossip girl's advice.

"Hey, guys, I have a question."

But the three did not respond. They were laughing at something Sirius had said.

"No, Sirius, just because I like Lily and talk about her so much doesn't mean I have the ring picked out."

"Guys, I need your help on something."

They turned to him, ready to help him, but only lasted a few seconds before cracking up again.

When they finally calmed down, they turned to him again.

"Sorry, Peter, what were you going to ask us?" Remus inquired.

"Nothing, just nothing. I figured it out on my own.

Peter broke from his memory, looking into Bella's eyes, mustering up all his confidence.

Sirius walked up to Regulus and tapped him on the back.

Regulus turned around. "Oh, it's you."

"Yeah, remember me?"

30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20

"Remus, listen,"

"No, wait, before you say anything. I know that there has been something going on between us, but there can't be. You don't know what you'd be getting yourself into."

"Remus, you're being ridiculous."

"No, you wouldn't want me. You deserve better."

"Remus I know."

19, 18, 17, 16, 15

The girl walked around, squinting to find James. Where was he?

She turned around, and finally spotted him across the room dancing with Lily. That bitch is going down.

14, 13, 12, 11,

"Alice, I don't want you to just be a friend. Would you be my girl friend?"

"Yes, I thought you would never ask."

Frank leaned in to kiss her, but she pulled back.

"Not until midnight.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5

Remus was shocked. "How do you know?"

"Does it matter? I know what you are, and I don't care."

"You don't? You don't think I'm some sort of monster? You wouldn't be completely appalled to be my girlfriend?

"Of course not! It's not like you asked for this. I would love to be your girlfriend"

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5

"You know, for a while, I really thought that you would be different. Like me." Sirius shook his head remorsly.

"What, you mean an air headed gryffindork?"

"No, I mean free from the pureblooded mania."

Regulus shook his head. "I'm sorry, Sirius, but I'm not like you. I'm not as brave as you. I can't do that to Mother; she would break, since you turned out like you did. And he promises me power. When he becomes my master, I will have all the power I could ever want."

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

"Happy New Year, Frank." Alice kissed him sweetly with the innocence of a new couple.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

"You have no idea how happy you have just made me."

Emmeline smiled at Remus. "Happy New Year, Remus." She kissed him soundly.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

"Ok, I'll do it."

Bella grinned. "You won't be sorry. Happy New Year, Peter."

She came down on him, and it was over. This deal is sealed.

"Lily, I love you."

"I love you too, James. Happy New Year." They kissed passionately, because they could. After all, they were in love.

"You know what, Regulus? You're not my brother! As far as I'm concerned, I never had a brother!"

Lily broke off the kiss as a flood of memories filled her head. James looked at her worriedly and loosened his grip on her.

"Lily, what's wro-" James was interrupted when someone pulled him around, and he suddenly felt a pair of lips on his.

By this point, the room had pretty much gone silent.

"Oh my god." Lily's hand flew to the side of her face where her scar was, and her eyes slammed shut painfully. She walked out of the room hastily.

James ripped away from whoever was kissing him to see Marini Zabini standing in front of.

"Don't touch me, I am in love with Lily, so don't even think that you can come close to being as amazing as she is. Now if you'll excuse me."

James ran after Lily, worried about what had just happened.

Hope that was enough drama for you, Lily's story coming up next, don't forget to tell me what you think and give me ideas.

You Know You Love Me,
