Lily's Disappearance
It was a rainy Saturday afternoon, when James Potter woke up. Someone had thrown their pillow at him. He looked up the see his three best friends, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.
" Why did you wake me up! I was having such a nice dream."
" Well, Mr. Sleepy Head, said Sirius Black, We just though we should wake you up in time for Quidditch practise. Sorry we disturbed your dreams about Lily." he added with a snicker.
" I was not dreaming about Lily!" said an annoyed James.
" No, you weren't and Snape does not have greasy hair." Remus added in a sarcastic tone.
***
"Potter! Your late!"
" Yes, I realise that Banks."
Justin Banks was the Quidditch captain of the Griffender team. He enjoyed tormenting James on his punctuality(even though he was usually on time). But James was to tired to pay attention to his captain today. Instead his eyes wandered out to the stands where he saw Sirius, Remus and Lily, sitting there waiting him to start his training. He assumed that Peter was still eating breakfast. What a pig he was. James didn't like him that much anyways. Found him to annoying. He had no idea why he let him tag around with them.
" Hey, James. Do you have any intention of getting on your broom and flying or are you just going to stare at us all morning!" yelled a happy Sirius.
Reluctantly, James got on his broom. He started doing cool flips and turns. He had no idea why, but he just did. But Sirius and Remus had caught on to what James was doing even though James himself had not.
"Hey,Sirius." whispered Remus in Sirius's ear. " Do you think he's trying to impress Lily?"
"Probably." yawned Sirius. "Where's Peter? I feel like beating up someone!"
"He's still eating breakfa..... Oh! Look Prongs just fell off his broom!"
" That's what he gets for trying to impress a girl. I mean it was so obvious. But I think Lily was impressed. She's always been impressed with his Quidditch skills. Most people are for that matter."
" Do you think he's alright?" asked a worried Lily.
"He'll be fine." said Sirius laughing.

Back at the castle Peter Pettigrew was stuffing his face with pancakes. When James and the gang walked in, he immediately glanced jealously over at them. He had always been jealous of James and his charm with Lily. Why couldn't he have her. Was he not good enough.
" What are you staring at Wormtail?" James questioned suspiciously.
"Nothing!" Peter answered a little bit to fast for James's liking.
"You sure?" James stilled sounded suspicious.
"Yes, I'm sure James. How stupid do you think I am?
"Pretty stupid." Sirius chimed in happily.
" Shut up you stupid git!" Peter yelled. He was proud of the brains he had.
" Make me you imbecile!" Sirius shouted warningly.
At that Peter shrank down. He was afraid of Sirius when he was mad. He was afraid of him when he was not mad for that fact. Someday, he though. I'll have power that none of them will ever have.

"Attention all students!" Dumbledore called happily at dinner time. " We will be having a ball. Not for any special reason, but just because I feel like to have a ball." he said gleefully. " I will expect you all to have a partner if you are in 5th year and up. 3rd years and up are permitted to come, but 5th years and older Must have a partner!
***
"So Sirius, who are you going to ask?"
"I don't know, in fact. I haven't decided between Jessica or Merissa."
" Who are you going to ask James?" Remus asked smiling. "I personally think you should ask Lily. she seems to like you."
" Yeah, but 10 other guys have asked her already and she's turned them all down. What if she turns me down!"
" What if she doesn't. What if she's been waiting for you to ask her." Sirius said with a wicked grin.
" She probably is waiting for you to ask her Sirius." James said.
" She's my friend and that's all and you know that. I would never do that to you man."
" Why are you calling me man?"
" I don't know, I should call you boy, because of the way your acting about asking Lily out. And besides, who is she going to go out with, if it's not you. Gees James see the signs. She's been giving you all of the signs that say, I really like you." Sirius said sounding proud on his knowledge of girls.
" What do you know about "signs" Sirius?"
" Well, I'll tell you, first of all she always comes to your Quidditch practise."
" She's just interested in Quidditch" said a confused James.
" No, she's not. She hates it, your just to dumb to see."
" Okay, the second sign is that she always sits next to you at meals."
" She's my friend." James sighed.
Now it was Remus's turn to speak. " Third sign, she is always looking at you whenever you are in the room."
" Very observant Remus, I have taught you well." Sirius said swelling with pride.
" Next sign." Sirius continued. " Every time you crack a joke what does she do?
" She laughs of course, it's a joke Sirius!"
" But some of your jokes are really stupid."
" Yeah, whatever keep going."
" Well that's just a beginning of all of the signs that she's giving you. God I've never seen a girl give off so many signs."
" Okay. I'll ask her a lunch."
" Good." Sirius said sounding like a teacher.
***
It was lunch time and the three maurder's headed down for lunch. Peter had gone down five minutes ago. When James went into the great hall the first thing he saw was Lily. She was standing there waiting for him.
" Sirius said that you had something to ask me." she said excitedly.
" Um, yeah." said James trying to avoid the faces Remus and Sirius were giving him. " Will you.... Will you.... Will you...." he was stuttering horribly
" Will I what?" She asked.
" Will you help me with my charms homework? your best at it."
" James, we don't have any charms homework. And besides that wasn't what you wanted to ask me anyway."
" How do you know?" asked an embarrassed James
" Because I've been talking to Sirius and he has a big mouth you know."
" I'm going to kill him!" said James going as red as a strawberry.
" Don't, because I'd love to go with you. I've been waiting for you to ask me. But I won't go unless you ask so spit it out."
" Okay, here goes. Lily would you go to the dance with me? James asked hopefully.
" I'd love to James so I'll see you in the Great Hall the night of the dance?"
" Sounds good." James was overjoyed. Lily had been waiting for him to ask her. How lucky he was. James went to Griffindor table and sat down beside Sirius and Remus for Peter was already back at the counter getting more food.
" So what did she say? Sirius said trying to sound innocent.
" I'm going to kill you!"
" She said she was going to kill you, that's not what Sirius said she would say."
" No , she said yes but I'm going to kill Sirius!"
" Why?"
" I can't remember, I'm too happy." James said overflowing with joy.
"Well anyways we've got to get ready for the ball." Sirius chirped happily. " I'm going with Merissa. Decided that she was better than Jessica."
" Who are you going with Moony, I didn't see you ask anyone." James said mysteriously.
" I asked Minerva." said an embarrassed Remus.
"McGonagall!" everyone near them gasped.
" Yeah, so what she said yes!"
" Well congrats Moony, you have been a good student. Now I bet no girl could turn you down."
" Really", Remus sounded excited.
" So, Peter who are you going with?" Sirius asked sounding amused.
" None of you beeswax Padfoot."
" Oh really, because if you want to talk to me that way there will be consequences Peter, you understand that don't you."
" Just leave me alone."
" Peter doesn't have a date!" Sirius yelled so the whole student body could hear. Everyone started laughing, except Dumbledore who stood up and made an announcement.
" Anyone who does not have a date will be serving drinks to those that do."
And he sat down again. The chatter began again and everything was back to normal.
***
Later in their dorm room Remus, James and Sirius were getting ready for the ball. Sirius had dress robes that were a dark blue that matched perfectly with his dark brown hair. Remus had dark green dress robes that went with his eye's and James also had dark blue robes. For blue was his favourite colour. When they got sown to the ball James saw Lily standing there waiting for him in a glittering silver dress.
" Wow Lily, you look amazing!" said James.
" Thank you and I must say you look very handsome yourself."
" I always look handsome." James said in a royal manner and Lily laughed.
She was very beautiful indeed. Her red hair had been pulled back into a bun and had jewels all over it. And the dress, well the dress was simply marvelous. James had never seen her look so good in his life, and they had been friends for 5 years. Sirius thought the same with Merissa. Her dark brown hair was down and well all of the to her butt. She had disco ball earrings on that shone different colours and her dress was a nice whitish pinkish colour that stopped at her knees. Minerva was wearing a gold dress that fell all of the way to the floor. Her long golden blond hair was in ringlets and she had a tiny tiara on. James of course thought that Lily was the prettiest. But that was because she was his date. They made their way into the Great Hall.
Professor Dumbledore stood up and announced...
"We were unable to get a DJ for the ball so I will fill in the spot."
Everyone in the hall dissolved into chuckles. With a tap of his wand Dumbledore had changed into leather pants etc. He even had an earring and had his hair in a ponytail. When the music started everyone started to dance. Everyone except Peter. He was pouring drinks, and was very busy for everyone else had found a date. Just then a slow song came on.
" Um.......... Lily, do you want to dance with me?"
" Of course James, what do you think I came here to do? Use the loo!
" No of course not!"
The night went too fast for everyone's liking and soon it was almost the end of the ball. Just then Dumbledore stood up.
" I have a surprise for you. I have got some awards ready for some of you. They are Best Couple, Oddest Couple, Ball Princess/Prince and the most honourable award Ball King/Queen. I have nominees for the awards. The nominees for the best couple award are....... Sirius Black and Merissa Peterson, James Potter and Lily Evans, Remus Lupin and Minerva McGonagall. Everyone applauded. The winner is..............Remus and Minerva! Now the nominees for the Oddest couple are................ Peter Pettigrew and the Punch bowl. Wait who put that in there!
Sirius stifled a snigger and made it sound like a cough. Everyone looked at him anyways knowing that he had done it.
" Lucius Malfoy and Jessica Abbott and Serveus Snape and the carpet dust! Sirius did you have to do that?"
" What did I do Professor?
" Never mind, the winner is Serveus Snape and the carpet dust. No one applauded ,but just laughed.
Forget the stupid nominees the winner of the ball prince/princess are Sirius Black and Merissa Peterson. And finally the winner of the ball King/Queen are.......................................................................................................................
James Potter and Lily Evans."
Everyone applauded loudly as James and Lily walked up to the podium to be crowned. All that was left was their moonlight dance. Dumbledore being the DJ choose the song. When the music came on the moved towards the dance floor and started to dance. Dumbledore had chosen the song my Everything by B4-4. While they were dancing Lily and James forgot about everyone watching them. When James kissed her and everyone started to whoop, they realised what had happened and went beet red.
" Sorry about that Lily, I just couldn't control myself if you know what I mean."
" I kind of do, if it's your male hormones your talking about."
That was it. The ball was over and James walked Lily back to her dormitory.
" G'night Lily, I had a really great time tonight."
" Me too. See you in the morning James." and with that she kissed him on the cheek, opened the door to her dormitory and went in, closed the door with a click and flopped down on her bed. What a wonderful night it had been. She thought to herself. I went to the ball with my dream guy, was crowned ball queen and even got kissed by him. I'm the luckiest girl in the world. Maybe not the luckiest, but pretty close. With that she undressed and went to sleep.
***
It was a while before Minerva and Molly came in. Molly had gone with Arthur Weasley. She was still half awake but did not bother to tell them. Then she heard her name mentioned in their conversation. she strained her ears to hear what they were saying.
" Did you see how they looked at each other the whole night. Honestly I have never seen two people as much in love as them." Molly whispered.
" When they were dancing they just forgot about everyone all around them, and then they kissed. That was so romantic." squealed Minerva, who had always been one for romance. " Remus was so taken with me, like he couldn't take his eyes off me. It was really flattering. I like him a lot, but I wasn't sure if like me. I was so pleased when he asked me to the ball."
" You've told us that story a million times Minerva." Julie (a roommate) sighed. " Stop gibbering about yourselves, this is the only chance we have to talk about Lily and James. Lily's asleep so this is it and if you blow it then we won't get another chance. Specially cause Lil will never admit it. Neither will James at least not to Sirius. He'd blab it out like it was on fire. How long do you think they will last? I think they'll last a long time, they're so taken with each other." Another girl commented.
" I bet till we finish 'warts. Cause then they will have to go their separate ways, unless they get married. Probably will." Molly said.
" Well not much left to talk about so I'm going to bed you guys." Julie said.
Molly and the rest did the same. Meanwhile Lily was thinking about what the girls had just said. She really did like James and would have said yes in a minute if he had asked her to marry him. In fact what they talked about was probably right. At least one thing was for sure. If James told Sirius about how he felt then he certainly blab it out. That's just how Sirius was.
***
Next morning was a Saturday so Lily slept in. That was until she was roughly awoken. James Sirius and Remus were standing at her bedside.
" Get up sleepy head it's a Hogsmeade weekend!" Sirius exclaimed happily.
" Yeah, we need to go, I'm almost out of Zonko's stuff." James said " And besides I'm longing for a butterbeer."
" I'm getting up, you have to leave cause I have to dress." Lily yawned.
" Kay, meet us at the Great Hall in half an hour." said Remus
***
As soon as the boys left Lily jumped out of bed. She wanted to look good for James and the others at Hogsmeade. Lily went all through her closet. She tried on basically everything that she owned. She wasn't going to wear her robes, cause they were a bit to casual. She wanted to be casual but not that casual. She finally came to a plaid skirt and a white belly top. Perfect. She put on the shirt and her top. I'll freeze in this. She thought. SO she put on a pair on black knee socks which matched with her entire outfit. She put on black clogs and brushed her hair letting fall down onto her back. James'll like this. When she walked down the stairs she saw James waiting for her.
" I thought we were meeting in the Great Hall."
" I thought I'd wait and walk you there." he said with a smile.
" Lets go then."
We hooked arms and made our way down to the Great Hall. When we got down there Sirius saw us and started imitating us along with Remus.( Peter is not going to Hogsmeade with them because.... because... I said so and I'm the author! Ha.)
"Stop it you two."
"Why should we flower."
"Don't call me flower it's LILY!"
" Oh, well lets just go well miss the carriages if we don't hurry up."
" Whatever you say Moony." grumbled Sirius.
When they reached the carriages James helped Lily in and Sirius and Remus broke out in giggles. They sounded like schoolchildren. Wait they are schoolchildren. Lily said to herself.
***
When they got to Hogsmeade, Remus and Sirius went off to Zonko's while Lily and James made their way to The Three Broomsticks. When they got in they found a table and sat down.
" Gees, when the guys and I got back to our dorm all they could talk about was their dates. Remus kept going on about how good a time he had with Minerva and Sirius kept going on about how pretty Merissa is. I just about died of boredom."
" I didn't. When the girls came in I pretended to be asleep and just lied there listening about what they were talking about. Minerva was going on about Remus but the others told her to shut up basically so they could talk about .....us....."
"Really, what did they say?"
"I'm about to tell you that. They kept going on about how perfect we are for each other and all that mushy stuff. It was quite interesting to listen to. They said that I would never admit that I like you, but I just did didn't I."
" Uh hu. I wouldn't tell Sirius either, well I would eventually, but not right away. he'd blab it out like it was on fire."
" That's exactly what Poppy said."
" Really, what a coincident. Do you think we should order our drinks now."
" For sure, I'm really thirsty."
Just then Remus and Sirius walked into the The Three Broomsticks.
" So, what did you two talk about while we were gone?" asked Sirius who just happened to be grinning evily.
" Nothing much." James said in a casual voice.
"Really, I'm sure you'll tell us about that nothing later, correct."
"There's nothing to know, we just talked." said Lily.
" Did you order anything yet because I'm freezing and I'd really like a butterbeer." Remus said shivering.
" We were just about to, I go order four shall I say?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. The day bored on as the four friends talked and talked and finally it was time to go back to Hogwarts.
***
That night Lily couldn't sleep. so she got up and went down to the common room to get some fresh air. She thought she was alone until someone sneezed.
" Darn it." she heard. It sounded like a male voice, but she didn't know whose it was. She would have recognised any of the guys voice. She turned around just in time to see a head of greasy hair. Greasy hair.
" SNAPE!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.
Snape lunged for the portrait hole but Lily blocked his way and he grabbed her waist and gave her a big kiss on the lips. It was so disgusting. Nothing like James kiss. All of this stress put apon her was just too much, and she fainted. All of a sudden their was banging on the boys staircase. All of a sudden James and Sirius came running towards her body. They made a stretcher and floated her to the infermitiory.
***
When she woke up their were eight faces above hers. One belonged to James and the others to Sirius,Remus,Minerva, Molly, Julie, Proffesor Dumbledore and Madame Cleanse, the head of imfermitory.
" What happened dear?" asked a worried Molly
" It was Snape!" Lily explained. " I couldn't sleep so I went down to the common room for some fresh air. But then I heard a sneeze. and then someone said something, I can't remember what but it wasn't anyone's voice I recognised. So, I had a look around and found Snape. I yelled his name really loud and he bolted for the entrance. I blocked his way wanting him to get caught. But he kept running towards me. When he caught up to me he grabbed my waist and kissed me. After that I must have fainted. But excuse me do you have any soap?"
"Of course we have soap, what do you need it for?"
" I have to wash."
" Well then everyone must leave immediately." ordered Madame Cleanse
" No they don't have to leave I won't take off any of my clothes their is no need."
Madame Cleanse gave Lily the soap. The others who had been very quite since then all started talking at once. Lily didn't hear a thing they had said for she was to busy getting ready to wash.
" What exactly are you going to wash, Lily?" Julie asked nervously.
"My mouth." said Lily sounding like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
" Well wouldn't you if you had been kissed by a slimeball." Sirius said solemnly.
"I'm ready." stated Lily.
Within a second Lily had stuffed the bar of soap in her mouth. Chewed it up and did not and I repeat DID NOT swallow the soap, but kept it in her mouth while pouring some water into her mouth. She swooshed it all around and then spit out a mouthful of bubbles.
" Ah, much better. Where did Dumbledore go."
" She went to punish Snape. I think she said something about 500 points and a detention for a month." Remus chuckled.
"Good he deserved it!" said a very angry James. " Really, kissing my girl!" he practically shouted.
" Calm down James." Minerva sighed.
***
A few days later Lily was walking down the hall when a paper aeroplane bumped into her head. It had been enchanted to fly until it found her.
She opened it up and it read.
Dear Lily,
I don't know how to say this to you so I wrote you this letter. Meet me at the edge of the Forbidden Forest at midnight tonight. There we can talk alone, without Sirius bothering us. Wear your fancies dress robes when you come down. Make sure no one sees you.
Yours forever,
James Potter
Oh my gosh. James wants me to meet him and in my fancy dress robes to. How exciting.
***
That night at midnight Lily wore what she had worn to the ball and made her way silently down to the edge of the forest. There she saw a dark figure. She couldn't tell if it was James or not but she assumed that it was. (ASSUMED IS THE KEY WORD HERE!)
"James is that you." she whispered.
" NO, it's not."
" Snape, you imbecile. I have no interest in you. You slimeball."
" I'm not really interested in weather you like me or not."
" Really, I'm going now, not going to waste my time on you!
And with that she stormed away, or at least tried to. She was grabbed by two pairs of arms, and strong arms at that. She tried to struggle but she was quickly silenced for she had been knock out. ( yes once again, I like to do that, I think it makes the story more interesting)
***
In the morning everyone was worried when Lily didn't show up for breakfast. Lunch ,dinner or any of her classes. The castle was searched everywhere for her. Nobody could find her. Only when Molly was searching her trunk did they find any clues. the first thing she found was the letter. she read it gasped and ran down to tell everybody what she had found.
" James, James, James!" she called.
Everyone turned around to look at her. they thought she had gone mad.
" What is it Molly, did you find something."
" Yes, I did. Did you write this letter to Lily.?"
"No, I didn't. Hey I would never want Sirius out of the way. This letter is bogus!"
"Well this was in Lily's trunk and her ball dress is missing as well."

" Thank you and I must say you look very handsome yourself."
" I always look handsome." James said in a royal manner and Lily laughed.
She was very beautiful indeed. Her red hair had been pulled back into a bun and had jewels all over it. And the dress, well the dress was simply marvelous. James had never seen her look so good in his life, and they had been friends for 5 years. Sirius thought the same with Merissa. Her dark brown hair was down and well all of the to her butt. She had disco ball earrings on that shone different colours and her dress was a nice whitish pinkish colour that stopped at her knees. Minerva was wearing a gold dress that fell all of the way to the floor. Her long golden blond hair was in ringlets and she had a tiny tiara on. James of course thought that Lily was the prettiest. But that was because she was his date. They made their way into the Great Hall.
Professor Dumbledore stood up and announced...
"We were unable to get a DJ for the ball so I will fill in the spot."
Everyone in the hall dissolved into chuckles. With a tap of his wand Dumbledore had changed into leather pants etc. He even had an earring and had his hair in a ponytail. When the music started everyone started to dance. Everyone except Peter. He was pouring drinks, and was very busy for everyone else had found a date. Just then a slow song came on.
" Um.......... Lily, do you want to dance with me?"
" Of course James, what do you think I came here to do? Use the loo!
" No of course not!"
The night went too fast for everyone's liking and soon it was almost the end of the ball. Just then Dumbledore stood up.
" I have a surprise for you. I have got some awards ready for some of you. They are Best Couple, Oddest Couple, Ball Princess/Prince and the most honourable award Ball King/Queen. I have nominees for the awards. The nominees for the best couple award are....... Sirius Black and Merissa Peterson, James Potter and Lily Evans, Remus Lupin and Minerva McGonagall. Everyone applauded. The winner is..............Remus and Minerva! Now the nominees for the Oddest couple are................ Peter Pettigrew and the Punch bowl. Wait who put that in there!
Sirius stifled a snigger and made it sound like a cough. Everyone looked at him anyways knowing that he had done it.
" Lucius Malfoy and Jessica Abbott and Serveus Snape and the carpet dust! Sirius did you have to do that?"
" What did I do Professor?
" Never mind, the winner is Serveus Snape and the carpet dust. No one applauded ,but just laughed.
Forget the stupid nominees the winner of the ball prince/princess are Sirius Black and Merissa Peterson. And finally the winner of the ball King/Queen are.......................................................................................................................
James Potter and Lily Evans."
Everyone applauded loudly as James and Lily walked up to the podium to be crowned. All that was left was their moonlight dance. Dumbledore being the DJ choose the song. When the music came on the moved towards the dance floor and started to dance. Dumbledore had chosen the song my Everything by B4-4. While they were dancing Lily and James forgot about everyone watching them. When James kissed her and everyone started to whoop, they realised what had happened and went beet red.
" Sorry about that Lily, I just couldn't control myself if you know what I mean."
" I kind of do, if it's your male hormones your talking about."
That was it. The ball was over and James walked Lily back to her dormitory.
" G'night Lily, I had a really great time tonight."
" Me too. See you in the morning James." and with that she kissed him on the cheek, opened the door to her dormitory and went in, closed the door with a click and flopped down on her bed. What a wonderful night it had been. She thought to herself. I went to the ball with my dream guy, was crowned ball queen and even got kissed by him. I'm the luckiest girl in the world. Maybe not the luckiest, but pretty close. With that she undressed and went to sleep.

It was a while before Minerva and Molly came in. Molly had gone with Arthur Weasley. She was still half awake but did not bother to tell them. Then she heard her name mentioned in their conversation. she strained her ears to hear what they were saying.
" Did you see how they looked at each other the whole night. Honestly I have never seen two people as much in love as them." Molly whispered.
" When they were dancing they just forgot about everyone all around them, and then they kissed. That was so romantic." squealed Minerva, who had always been one for romance. " Remus was so taken with me, like he couldn't take his eyes off me. It was really flattering. I like him a lot, but I wasn't sure if like me. I was so pleased when he asked me to the ball."
" You've told us that story a million times Minerva." Julie (a roommate) sighed. " Stop gibbering about yourselves, this is the only chance we have to talk about Lily and James. Lily's asleep so this is it and if you blow it then we won't get another chance. Specially cause Lil will never admit it. Neither will James at least not to Sirius. He'd blab it out like it was on fire. How long do you think they will last? I think they'll last a long time, they're so taken with each other." Another girl commented.
" I bet till we finish 'warts. Cause then they will have to go their separate ways, unless they get married. Probably will." Molly said.
" Well not much left to talk about so I'm going to bed you guys." Julie said.
Molly and the rest did the same. Meanwhile Lily was thinking about what the girls had just said. She really did like James and would have said yes in a minute if he had asked her to marry him. In fact what they talked about was probably right. At least one thing was for sure. If James told Sirius about how he felt then he certainly blab it out. That's just how Sirius was.
***
Next morning was a Saturday so Lily slept in. That was until she was roughly awoken. James Sirius and Remus were standing at her bedside.
" Get up sleepy head it's a Hogsmeade weekend!" Sirius exclaimed happily.
" Yeah, we need to go, I'm almost out of Zonko's stuff." James said " And besides I'm longing for a butterbeer."
" I'm getting up, you have to leave cause I have to dress." Lily yawned.
" Kay, meet us at the Great Hall in half an hour." said Remus
***
As soon as the boys left Lily jumped out of bed. She wanted to look good for James and the others at Hogsmeade. Lily went all through her closet. She tried on basically everything that she owned. She wasn't going to wear her robes, cause they were a bit to casual. She wanted to be casual but not that casual. She finally came to a plaid skirt and a white belly top. Perfect. She put on the shirt and her top. I'll freeze in this. She thought. SO she put on a pair on black knee socks which matched with her entire outfit. She put on black clogs and brushed her hair letting fall down onto her back. James'll like this. When she walked down the stairs she saw James waiting for her.
" I thought we were meeting in the Great Hall."
" I thought I'd wait and walk you there." he said with a smile.
" Lets go then."
We hooked arms and made our way down to the Great Hall. When we got down there Sirius saw us and started imitating us along with Remus.( Peter is not going to Hogsmeade with them because.... because... I said so and I'm the author! Ha.)
"Stop it you two."
"Why should we flower."
"Don't call me flower it's LILY!"
" Oh, well lets just go well miss the carriages if we don't hurry up."
" Whatever you say Moony." grumbled Sirius.
When they reached the carriages James helped Lily in and Sirius and Remus broke out in giggles. They sounded like schoolchildren. Wait they are schoolchildren. Lily said to herself.
***
When they got to Hogsmeade, Remus and Sirius went off to Zonko's while Lily and James made their way to The Three Broomsticks. When they got in they found a table and sat down.
" Gees, when the guys and I got back to our dorm all they could talk about was their dates. Remus kept going on about how good a time he had with Minerva and Sirius kept going on about how pretty Merissa is. I just about died of boredom."
" I didn't. When the girls came in I pretended to be asleep and just lied there listening about what they were talking about. Minerva was going on about Remus but the others told her to shut up basically so they could talk about .....us....."
"Really, what did they say?"
"I'm about to tell you that. They kept going on about how perfect we are for each other and all that mushy stuff. It was quite interesting to listen to. They said that I would never admit that I like you, but I just did didn't I."
" Uh hu. I wouldn't tell Sirius either, well I would eventually, but not right away. he'd blab it out like it was on fire."
" That's exactly what Poppy said."
" Really, what a coincident. Do you think we should order our drinks now."
" For sure, I'm really thirsty."
Just then Remus and Sirius walked into the The Three Broomsticks.
" So, what did you two talk about while we were gone?" asked Sirius who just happened to be grinning evily.
" Nothing much." James said in a casual voice.
"Really, I'm sure you'll tell us about that nothing later, correct."
"There's nothing to know, we just talked." said Lily.
" Did you order anything yet because I'm freezing and I'd really like a butterbeer." Remus said shivering.
" We were just about to, I go order four shall I say?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. The day bored on as the four friends talked and talked and finally it was time to go back to Hogwarts.
***
That night Lily couldn't sleep. so she got up and went down to the common room to get some fresh air. She thought she was alone until someone sneezed.
" Darn it." she heard. It sounded like a male voice, but she didn't know whose it was. She would have recognised any of the guys voice. She turned around just in time to see a head of greasy hair. Greasy hair.
" SNAPE!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.
Snape lunged for the portrait hole but Lily blocked his way and he grabbed her waist and gave her a big kiss on the lips. It was so disgusting. Nothing like James kiss. All of this stress put apon her was just too much, and she fainted. All of a sudden their was banging on the boys staircase. All of a sudden James and Sirius came running towards her body. They made a stretcher and floated her to the infermitiory.
***
When she woke up their were eight faces above hers. One belonged to James and the others to Sirius,Remus,Minerva, Molly, Julie, Proffesor Dumbledore and Madame Cleanse, the head of imfermitory.
" What happened dear?" asked a worried Molly
" It was Snape!" Lily explained. " I couldn't sleep so I went down to the common room for some fresh air. But then I heard a sneeze. and then someone said something, I can't remember what but it wasn't anyone's voice I recognised. So, I had a look around and found Snape. I yelled his name really loud and he bolted for the entrance. I blocked his way wanting him to get caught. But he kept running towards me. When he caught up to me he grabbed my waist and kissed me. After that I must have fainted. But excuse me do you have any soap?"
"Of course we have soap, what do you need it for?"
" I have to wash."
" Well then everyone must leave immediately." ordered Madame Cleanse
" No they don't have to leave I won't take off any of my clothes their is no need."
Madame Cleanse gave Lily the soap. The others who had been very quite since then all started talking at once. Lily didn't hear a thing they had said for she was to busy getting ready to wash.
" What exactly are you going to wash, Lily?" Julie asked nervously.
"My mouth." said Lily sounding like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
" Well wouldn't you if you had been kissed by a slimeball." Sirius said solemnly.
"I'm ready." stated Lily.
Within a second Lily had stuffed the bar of soap in her mouth. Chewed it up and did not and I repeat DID NOT swallow the soap, but kept it in her mouth while pouring some water into her mouth. She swooshed it all around and then spit out a mouthful of bubbles.
" Ah, much better. Where did Dumbledore go."
" She went to punish Snape. I think she said something about 500 points and a detention for a month." Remus chuckled.
"Good he deserved it!" said a very angry James. " Really, kissing my girl!" he practically shouted.
" Calm down James." Minerva sighed.
***
A few days later Lily was walking down the hall when a paper aeroplane bumped into her head. It had been enchanted to fly until it found her.
She opened it up and it read.
Dear Lily,
I don't know how to say this to you so I wrote you this letter. Meet me at the edge of the Forbidden Forest at midnight tonight. There we can talk alone, without Sirius bothering us. Wear your fancies dress robes when you come down. Make sure no one sees you.
Yours forever,
James Potter
Oh my gosh. James wants me to meet him and in my fancy dress robes to. How exciting.
***
That night at midnight Lily wore what she had worn to the ball and made her way silently down to the edge of the forest. There she saw a dark figure. She couldn't tell if it was James or not but she assumed that it was. (ASSUMED IS THE KEY WORD HERE!)
"James is that you." she whispered.
" NO, it's not."
" Snape, you imbecile. I have no interest in you. You slimeball."
" I'm not really interested in weather you like me or not."
" Really, I'm going now, not going to waste my time on you!
And with that she stormed away, or at least tried to. She was grabbed by two pairs of arms, and strong arms at that. She tried to struggle but she was quickly silenced for she had been knock out. ( yes once again, I like to do that, I think it makes the story more interesting)
***
In the morning everyone was worried when Lily didn't show up for breakfast. Lunch ,dinner or any of her classes. The castle was searched everywhere for her. Nobody could find her. Only when Molly was searching her trunk did they find any clues. the first thing she found was the letter. she read it gasped and ran down to tell everybody what she had found.
" James, James, James!" she called.
Everyone turned around to look at her. they thought she had gone mad.
" What is it Molly, did you find something."
" Yes, I did. Did you write this letter to Lily.?"
"No, I didn't. Hey I would never want Sirius out of the way. This letter is bogus!"
"Well this was in Lily's trunk and her ball dress is missing as well."
