DC: Still don't own anything... never will...
Story:
"Where is he?... where is he?" Lily thought to herself as she once again roamed the halls looking for James Potter.
James was also looking for Lily.
He was on the third floor and Lily was on the first.
James was working his way down while Lily was working her way up.
They both got to the same staircase at the same time, James heading down and Lily heading upward.
"Where is he?" Lily said with her head down.
"Were is who?" James asked when he saw who it was.
"James Potter" Lily said automatically, not realizing that she was talking to him.
"Uh, Lil..." James said with a little laugh.
Lily then looked up, "Oh! James! I've been looking for you!"
"No duh," James responded childlike. "I was actually looking for you too, Lily,"
"Oh, what, what do you want?" Lily said, looking down again. But this time it was because her cheeks were turning a tad red.
"I was wondering... if, um... You were going to go to the Christmas Ball Friday night?" James turned his statement into a question.
"I...I...I might, I don't have anyone to go with... at the moment, that is," Lily stammered while going even more red in the cheeks.
"Oh, well, who do you want to go with, then?" James questioned, with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Um..." Lily said, while breathing heavily.
"James! I've been looking for you!" a pretty blonde haired girl came huffing over to him. "I was wondering, do you want to go to the Christmas Ball with me?" she gave him her best smile.
"Ah, hi Alice," James stammered.
Lily walked away then, with tears daring to leave her eyes.
James noticed that Lily had left. He wanted to stop her, but that would be rude to Alice.
"Well?" Alice said, with questioning eyes.
"Ah, yeah, sure," James said, half aware of what he was saying.
"Great! See you then!" Alice skipped off just then.
James realized what he had said and started to bang his head against the wall, "Darn it! I didn't mean to say yes! What am I supposed to do now!?"
Sirius walked up to James just then, "What are you doing, James?"
"I just told Alice that I would go to the Christmas Ball with her! I didn't mean to! I wasn't listening!" James explained.
"James, you dolt! You were supposed to go with Lily!" Sirius said, after he said it, he gave a small chuckle.
"I know that! I was just about to, when Alice came over, she asked me and Lily walked away!" James said with a sigh.
***********************************************
"Alice just asked him! Right in front of me! I can't believe it! I'm never going to get a date!" Lily sobbed to her best friend when she ran into the common room and found Bella.
"What?" Bella asked.
"Alice just asked James to go to the Christmas Ball! I was standing next to him, about to ask, and she came up and asked him! So I walked away... I am never going to find a date!" Lily said more slowly.
"Oh, well, did James say yes?" Bella said with reason.
"I walked away before he responded. But why wouldn't he? Alice is wicked pretty and popular!" Lily flopped onto the couch and buried her face in a nearby pillow.
Bella comforted her friend by patting her on the back and cursing Alice.
***********************************************
The night of the Christmas Ball:
"Lily! Get out of the bathroom! There are other people in here waiting!" Bella yelled while pounding on the bathroom door.
"Just a minute! I'll be right out!" Lily hollered back.
Lily decided to go to the Christmas Ball stag. She didn't want to admit it to anyone however. Only the girls in her dormitory knew.
Once they were all ready, they headed down to the common room to wait for their "dates"
Lily was on the stairs surveying the room when her eyes landed on James and Alice.
"He looks so good" she whispered to herself. Then she shook her head and continued to look around the room. There was Sirius and Bella, Remus and June, and some other six years. The rest were all downstairs already.
Finally, she was the only one left in the room. She didn't want anyone to see her by herself.
As she headed towards the Great Hall, she saw Narcissa and Malfoy walking together, hand in hand.
"Aw, isn't that cute?" Lily said sarcastically to herself.
She continued her journey and at last reached her destination. The Great Hall.
She entered it quickly and hopped into a chair next to Bella, hoping that nobody saw her enter alone.
"Hey, Lil," Sirius said as she sat down.
"Hey, Sirius, what's up?" Lily responded.
"Not much... hey, Bella, wanna dance?" Sirius said as he raised both eyebrows in a playful manner.
"Sure, if you don't step on my feet that is," Bella said slowly with a laugh.
The two of them headed toward the clearing in the center of the room that was for dancing.
Lily was by herself.
She saw Snape heading in her direction. She prayed he wasn't going to stop at her now empty table.
He was slowing down, he was stopping right in front of her!
"Hey, Lil, want to dance?" Snape said with a smile.
"Um..." Lily said, trying to think of some way to say no nicely.
"Sorry, Snape, she can't. She promised she would dance with me," James said as he rushed toward the table. He had seen what was going on and he didn't want Lily to dance with Snape, even if she wanted to.
"Whatever," Snape said as he walked off with a sad expression on his face.
"Thank you!" Lily breathed a sigh of relief. "That was close."
"Yeah, but now he is going to watch us to see if we actually dance. So get up," James said, putting his plan into action.
"Oh, all right," Lily said, smiling to herself as she got up and took James's hand.
"Where is Alice?" Lily questioned once they had gotten to the dance floor.
"The bathroom," James said as he put his hands on Lily's waist.
They danced to the song, both of their minds were full of thoughts that mirrored each other's. They were both thinking that this was the happiest moment in their lives.
"James! Come back here! You are my date!" Alice said once she found James. She had been looking for him for five minutes.
AN: What do you think? Sorry this took so long to get up, I forgot about it! lol... anyway, please review! Thanks!
