When I Looked into my True Love's Eyes
Part 2
By: cheesepuff
Looking in the mirror, for the first time in her life, Lily Evans was happy with her reflection. She wore beautiful, forest green dress robes that matched her eyes perfectly. She had piled her shiny red hair atop her head, and charmed it to sparkle, and for a finishing touch tucked a small, delicate lily behind her right ear.
Tonight was the night of the Christmas Ball. Though Lily didn't really see the point in having one because there were only going to be about ten people attending. But she wasn't complaining. She was going with James Potter.
James was tall with messy, black hair, twinkling, brown eyes, and a great smile, and just about the whole of Hogwarts female population was head over heels for him. But it made Lily happy to know that he had chosen her, even though there was about only six or so girls at the school for the holidays.
Lily looked at the clock on the wall and it said, "Time for the ball," in neon pink letters, so she went down to the Gryffindor common room to wait for James.
When James finally got down to the common room he found Lily sitting in a large, scarlet armchair. 'My gawd!! She looks like an angel!' Was his thought and then out loud he said, "Hello, me lady. You look simply marvelous!" Then held out his arm which Lily took while laughing at his attempt to be a gentleman.
James put a hurt look and a pout on his face, which just made Lily laugh harder. Then she said between giggles, "Stop pouting, James! You look 'marvelous' yourself!" And he did. He was wearing deep black dress robes, and somehow he had managed to flatten his hair down... A little any ways.
They walked down to the ball arms linked and when they got there their eyes were dazzled. The great hall was absolutely gorgeous. There was a light snow falling that disappeared when it touched the floor and there were real icicles hanging from the ceiling and there was holly everywhere and even a little bunch of mistletoe in the corner. The Christmas trees were singing carols softly in their corners and little elves with pointy ears were serving little deserts that they were carrying around on trays.
From a small stage on the back wall a wizard band played slow, Christmasy songs. "Lily, care to dance?" Asked James in his most sugary, charming voice.
"'Course I would!" Lily responded without trying to mock James's fake politeness this time. She grabbed James's arm and pulled him out onto the nearly empty dance floor, and put her arms around his neck.
"Geeze! I guess you really wanted to dance," said James putting his arms around her waist as they started moving to the rhythm of the music.

"Lily and James! I never would have thought!" Said a puzzled Professor McGonagall to a twinkly-eyed Professor Doumbledore. "I mean... I thought they hated each other! But to me it look as though they fit together... Almost like pieces of a puzzle."
"How right you are. They looked just perfect together," said the Headmaster happily. "Well goodnight Minerva, see you in the morning.

OK! I'll try to make the next part (if I continue this story) longer and I'll try to take my time (something I'm not good at).
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW!!!
(Because I know I have plenty of room for improvements)
