A/N: I worked really hard on this part and it was the hardest to write. I know the song isn't from that time period but I don't care. This is the last part *cries*. Please R/R. Sorry it's short.

We're Just Friends, Right?

***Lily's POV (I know I have been doing her POV a lot)***
Finally it was the night of the Christmas Ball. We started getting ready three hours before hand at 3:30. When we were done it was really worth it. Michelle wore a tight, strapless, short, deep red dress with matching high heels. Her hair was pulled back half up, half down, kind of messy. Ara wore a long black skirt and a tight silver button up short-sleeved with black flats. Her hair was in two French braids. Jenn wore a long, pouffy, baby blue with yellow flowers with yellow high heels. I wore a white low cut, tight at the bottom-loose at the top, kind of short dress that had this soft net like mesh material that was tight over it with white strapped high heels. I had gotten out of the shower and just towel dried my here so it was loose and free. We each had a little muggle make-up on. We each also carried purses that were bewitched to match what we wore.
When we walked down stairs the boys were shocked. James, Sirius, and Remus just stood there staring open-mouthed at us.
"You look really pretty Jenni," Remus said.
"Wow, Ara." added Sirius coming out of his trance. After that Michelle practically dragged us so we could go and meet her date.
In the Great Hall there were lots of tables that sat eight instead of the house tables. We all sat down to eat at the same table. We talked about nonsense for an hour and I avoided James's eyes. Finally everyone was done eating and they cleared away the food and tables so we could dance. The couples left to dance as soon as the first song came on. It was the new song sung live by the Wicked Witches.
"Lily wanna dance," asked this boy, Billy hopefully.
"Sure Billy." I got up and took his hand and I dance with him for the next song too. Then I danced with Remus, then Nick, and Sirius. I had to take a break then but only for a minute. I went back to dancing with this guy I didn't know.
***James POV***
I watched Lily dance with practically everyone while I danced with numerous girls that half of I didn't even know their names. Finally Lily took a long break and I went over to her.
"Save the last dance for me Lils?" I grinned goofily.
"Of course. I have to dance with my best friend, James," she answered.
((She looks so alive and beautiful. Its the first time she has looked me in the eyes in a week.))
I was asked again to dance by Chelsea and we danced for like five songs. After a while I got a chance to sneak away. I ran up to my dorm and grabbed some of this sheet music to a muggle song I had ordered by owl. I went back to the Great Hall to where the Wicked Witches were taking a break.
"Can you do me a favor? Please?" I pleaded.
"We can try," smiled Bridget the lead singer.
"Can you do this song for the last dance?" I handed them the sheet music.
Looking it over the guitarist, Kate said, "Sure we'll do it. It's a prefect. Sweet and slow. Do you want us to dedicate it to anyone?"
"Yea, from James Potter, to a very special girl he loves. She'll know who see is." They nodded. "Thanks! I gotta get back now." I went back to where Remus, Jenn, Sirius, and Ara were standing. "Hey everyone."
"Hey, James wanna dance?" questioned Ara.
"Sure," I nodded.
"Ara, you're not supposed to dance with your date's best friend," Sirius complained. I dance with her, Chelsea, Megan, and Wanda. At 11:45 I started praying it would all go right. No one else knew what I was doing. Finally, it was time for the last dance and I went to find Lily.
"Okay everyone. It's time for the last dance so choose your partners carefully," announced Bridget. I stood next to Lily, smiling, and waited for what was to come. "This song was given to us by James Potter. It's for a very special girl that he loves. Whoever you are, you're a lucky girl. He sure is somethin'," joked Bridget. It was, of course, a slow song so I slid my arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around my neck. We started to dance avoiding each other's eyes, but glancing at each other every so often.
((I feel like this is were I belong, where I should be. Right here with the girl I love. But she doesn't love me, right?))
Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on ...
*Our glances caught and we got lost in each other's eyes.*
I can see its hurting you
I can feel the pain
It's hard to see the sunshine through the rain
I know sometimes it seems as if
It's never gonna end
But you'll get through it
Just don't give in cause you can ...
*See rested her head on my chest and I rested my head on her's. It was prefect. Meant to be.*
Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on ...
*We were in our own world, just me and Lily, my love.*
I know sometimes it seems as if
we're standing all alone
But we'll get through it
Cause love won't let us fall
*I knew it was time to tell her just how much I cared, that I wanted to be more than best friends.*
Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on ...
There's a place inside of all of us
Where are faith in love begins
You should reach to find the truth in love
The answer there with in, oh
I know that life can make you feel
It's much harder than it really is
But we'll get through it
Just don't give in
*I lifted her chin so she was looking at me and mumbled, "I love you." She whispered back, "I love you, too James. And I am sorry for what I did."*
Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on ...
*The song ended and we kissed. I knew then that we would always be together through thick and thin.*
