The next day Sirius awoke with many feelings playing at his heart.
Even though in the tiniest back of his brain he felt something for Lily, he had never been so taken by a girl like he was taken with Kim.
He wasn't in love with her or anything like that, but still she was a very intriguing girl. Unlike most of the girls who he found throwing themselves at him with out a shot of decency or respect for themselves.
Kim was different, he had to come to her, and the weird thing was, he didn't mind it. Kim was stability, nothing over the top, she came as she was, and it was fine with her. Remus didn't have feelings for Katie, sure I mean she was great person and everything, no doubt pretty, but he decided long ago that he wasnt going to have a steady girlfriend, too many problems...
Although they had only been dating a day the Marauders quickly began to feel the love.
Before every class there was a hug followed by either a butterfly kiss, or a laugh and a smack on the butt.
Although the Marauders and a few of Lily's friends would tell you that it was all fluff with James and Lily, but the couple would be the first to tell you they weren't sure.
James had never been with a girl who had made him feel this way, and he was only 17, how are you supposed to know if you are in love at 17.
He was beginning to find out. Lily had just gotten over the fact that she didn't hate James anymore and every time she was with him she felt as though she were in some cliché teen romance movie.
They would however tell you, that this was something more different than anything they had ever experienced. and they loved every minute of their time together.
Sirius soon found it much easier to accept that James and Lily were dating, probably because he realized for himself quite quickly what he had been missing.
Why he felt so attached to Lily. it was because she was the only girl he had ever really talked to, she was his psychiatrist, his therapist, his listener. He didn't have a sister, just a lowly brother who wasn't much of anything to brag about, and his mom was probably one of his least favorite people in the world.
He realized that he just couldn't stand the thought of having to share that with someone, however now he and Kim were starting to talk, on a more personal level, than the flirtatious intellectual level they had been talking on for weeks. and she was a very intriguing person.
She was almost better at the whole listening thing than Lily, she would allow you to vent your anger, then ask you questions that helped to subside it.
It was a matter of days before the Halloween Ball arrived and all the students were beginning to feel anxious, which wasn't a good thing because it was the end of the month that meant examinations.
The Marauders and Lily sat in the back of the DADA room they had all finished with their exams (with the exception of Peter) and were now flicking bits of paper at Snivellus hoping to get a rise out of him in front of the teachers.
No such luck though, he was concentrating incredibly hard which was something the Marauders weren't used to doing, well apart from Peter.
Her relationship with James had been good for Lily, it made her open her eyes to other people whenever James and the rest of his crew wanted to go off and hang out by the Whomping Willow (she never did figure out what they did there).
She and Kim were becoming better friends, Kim was excited that she would be might be dating Sirius soon... she though he was a real sweetheart, and Lily had to hand it to her, for the past few weeks she was almost all that Sirius would talk about.
"Lily! Can you help me clasp my dress?" asked a nervous Kim who was now getting a little anxious herself.
"Sure," Lily had to laugh at how nervous Kim was being, she really had no reason to be. Sirius would probably like her if she came to the dance in a T-shirt and shorts, however she was certain he would like her dress robes a little bit more.
Lily, who had been dressed for quite some time finally headed to the bathroom where she found herself surrounded by nervous girls trying to do their hair and make up with barely an elbow's space separating them.
The next dormitory over the boys seemed far less stressed over the dance, granted they were nervous but they weren't tripping over themselves.
Occasionally a boy would get a little freaked out because he didn't know how to tie a tie, but then would remember. He's a wizard!
In general as time grew closer the boys would leave to pick up their dates, James, Sirius and Remus were all leaving together. Peter, who asked a girl from Hufflepuff had already left for the dance.
The remaining Marauders left for the common room where they stood to wait on their dates, they watched nervous boy after gorgeous girl leave for the ball. They thought they must be the last people left in the whole school who had was not at the ball, well besides the people without dates of course.
The girls were sitting in their dormitory going through last minute checks over themselves. they were ready.
First to walk out the door was Katie, who found Remus and led him out of the room because he was still gawking at how pretty she looked that evening.
When Kim walked out she found a very handsome Sirius Black talking to James whom then coughed to get Sirius's attention. Sirius turned around and it was then that his heart stopped beating, she was beautiful. perfect. Kim smiled and drug him out of the room leaving James alone to see what Lily looked like. W
hen she descended from the stairs it was like heaven had opened up and dropped a red headed angel in the room. she looked lovely, lovelier than anything James had ever seen in his life. The couple made their way to the dance arm in arm, their eyes drifting towards each other when the other was looking away.
When they entered the dance they were greeted by the headmaster, "Nice to grace us with your presence. As head students you are to open the dance with the first slow song" He grinned at the young couple. the things they would do in the future. their importance he already knew. The headmaster made his way up to the front, "We will now have our head boy and girl, James Potter, and Lily Evans, open the dance"
Then a song came on, the name they weren't sure of, truth is. it really didn't matter. All that mattered was that they were together, just the way James had wanted to be for so many years. His dream had finally come true.
Halfway through the song Sirius dragged a timid Kim to the dance floor and they danced, for Sirius it wasn't the dancing that was as much fun as watching Kim's face turn red with embarrassment, and the smile that shone through that was one he wouldn't trade for anything. Girls eyed Lily and Kim with jealousy, but neither of them cared, they didn't see anything, they felt nothing but the beat of their date's hearts pressed against theirs. Lily's head rested on James shoulder-
"I love you Tiger. I have never felt this way about anyone I have ever known" James voice sounded so deep and genuine, the problem was Lily like James a lot, sure, but did she love him? She wasn't sure, he was nice, sweet, but was she old enough to fall in love? She kept her head on his shoulder not moving, and when the song stopped he pulled back almost expecting an answer
"Hey Lily can we go outside and talk for a minute?" she nodded reluctantly.
"I just told you something big. something I have never in my life told anyone, and you didn't say anything. at all" Lily looked at him half- scared, half ashamed
"James I just don't know we are SEVENTEEN, we don't know anything yet. I mean James, you are great your smart you are the sweetest person I know and I like you a lot, but I'm not sure I'm old enough. I don't even know what love is" James looked like he was gathering his words and thoughts together.
"Every morning when I wake up you are the first person I want to see, you are the first one I think about, every time I'm with you I feel as though there is a menagerie in my stomach dancing, and you know what? I wouldn't trade that feeling for anything because every time I look in to your eyes I see what I want to be I see what I almost am I see a beautiful, wonderful, smart brilliant woman just waiting to burst out. And Lily I love that every time I'm with you I discover something new about my self and about you. That's what love is, or at least that's how I know I love you"
