A/N: Second half, or part, I am not sure, of the Dance. Review!

Lily sat outside, her head buried in her hands. She blinked several times, but the tears insisted on falling and making stains. "I can remove those with a charm . . ." Lily said, thinking oddly clearly. She looked over the lake again, thinking about what a horrible dance this had been. She had been looking forward to this forever, and now to have it ruined like this . . .
"Lily?" A voice behind her asked softly.
"Go away," she answered, as she knew it was James, and she didn't want him to see her crying.
She felt him sit down next to her.
"Ok, I don't know if this is the best time . . ." He started, but Lily cut him off.
"Then wait!"
"But," he continued, "I am going to say it anyway. I know I was acting like a jerk back there, I get caught up in Quidditch a lot. I wasn't really thinking, and, well, I want to say I am sorry." He stopped there.
Lily sniffed. She turned around and looked at him. "Really?" She asked softly.
He nodded. A slow song started again.
"May I have this dance?" He asked her, offering her his hand.
"Out here?" She asked.
"If you want," he answered her. She accepted, and took his hand, also smiling.
They danced to the song, same as before, but without nearly as much tension. She leaned her head against his chest, and he places his head on hers.
They finished the rest of the song in silence, and then Lily sat down again.
"Now it's my turn to say sorry," she said. "I guess I over reacted a bit, but it seemed like you weren't paying any attention to me, and I felt left out. So I would also like to say sorry."
"Apology accepted," he said. He leaned toward her, and before she knew what was happening, they were kissing. She was surprised at first, as this was her first kiss, but then realized that this was James, and she didn't need to be surprised.
Then there was a flash. Breaking away from her, James whirled around, and simultaneously they noticed that Courtney had her camera.
"Courtney!" Lily said, running after her.
She smiled and waved the camera around before taking off. Lily and James were close behind her, both smiling as well.

After the dance . . .

Lily smiled as she recalled the kiss. It had been so perfect, as she always imagined it. Except for that picture. "Courtney?" she asked innocently.
"Mhmm?" Courtney answered.
"Could I see your camera for a second?" Lily asked, in what she hoped was an off-hand way.
"Of course not! I know what you would do! But trust me, later you will want a picture of that."
"Ok, maybe, but I am not sure I want you waving that around to the whole common room," Lily protested.
"Ok, I promise I won't show it to anyone except you," Courtney said.
Lily knew she wouldn't get a better answer then that out of Courtney, so she wrote to James, using Dakota.

James,
Courtney promised she wouldn't show the picture to anyone, so we're safe that way. Love ya!
Lily

Lil,
Good thing, but I don't think it matters too much. Sirius said that the whole house had known that we would eventually get together. Love you Lil!
James
