Dumbledore then paused. "That is all. I believe Poppy is knocking on the door."
****
Madame Pomfrey WAS knocking on the door, with a calm, perfectly normal Lily by her side. "All is now well, Albus."
Professor Dumbledore nodded. "You boys are excused. I must talk PRIVATELY to Lily for a few minutes."
*~*~*
"Lily, you do understand what is happening."
"Yes, Professor."
"Give those boys a chance. Especially James."
Lily's expression darkened, "Okay. But don't blame MOI for whatever happens when they play a prank on me." Her face broke into a grin.
Dumbledore smiled.
"Well, for the Hollow's Eve Ball, you may show up the way you naturally look. And if Voldemort stops bothering you and diverts his attention to Muggles and such, perhaps you can go naturally for the rest of the year after Christmas hols. I do suggest you get a date at the ball."
Lily smiled gratefully. She HATED the mask of deceit and ugliness. But then she frowned. "How will I get a date for the ball?" she asked.
Dumbledore looked at her. "As top students so far in the year, you and..."
Lily cut him off. "Yes, yes. James. Argh!" She threw up her hands in the air in loathing of the pairing."
Dumbledore dismissed her, smiling at the youthfulness of the couple.
*~*~*
Lily trudged down the stairs. She decided to wear a robe that she just bought the beginning of the school year. Thinking about more plans for the ball, she bumped into someone.
*~*~*
(No cliffe here) it was James. (How typical l/j, but hey- fluffiness for Valentine's Day!)
"Hey, Lily. Do you want to go to the ball with me?"
Looking straight in his brown eyes, she said, "Do I have a choice?" nodded, and walked off to her dorm.
*~*~*
James looked at her, stunned. He could hardly grasp the fact that there WAS a girl that stood up to him, drove him in circles, yet so smooth in her retorts, and had him actually interested in her secrets.
He shook his head, as if his thoughts were tumbling around, and also walked up to his dorm. He was still pleased he had her as a date for the ball. He decided it to keep that who his date was as a secret, and slept the night off.
*~*~*
2 days later...
THE BALL
*~*~*
James had arranged to meet her at Dumbledore's office 5 minutes prior to 6:00 PM, when the ball started.
Lily was at 5:55 PM sharp, and on time as always.
James had actually arrived 5 minutes earlier than planned.
But it was also he that made them late.
That time to get to the ball was spent him ogling at Lily.
*~*~*
Lily had gone like what she naturally looks like. She wore a white robe that slowly cascaded to a deep forest green. Along the bottom sparkled silver stars, as was in her hair also littered with sparkles. Her hair was down, tumbling down to her waist. Lily put on a little pink blush, sparkling pastel green eye shadow, deep emerald green eyeliner, black mascara, and lip-gloss.
*~*~*
Here We Left Off
*~*~*
They got there 10 minutes late.
A whole cluster of girls was coming up to James, but when they saw Lily, they got mad and smirked to the couple,
"Fashionable late as usual, Jamsie?" "What ever happened to Lily? Lost your sight on her? I would believe so!" "Longing for Beuxbaton's girls now?"
At that comment, Lily blew up, and with one strident kick to all their knees, they all collapsed.
Lily smiled a sickening smile, "As a matter of fact, Lily asked me to *substitute* for her. She has gone... on an errand for Dumbledore."
And then *Lily* glided off with James. (Whenever Lily is mentioned, you know it means Isabella. Lily's true name is Isabella. Got it? But she makes up these lies that are so complex so she can be safe from You-Know-Who. There, I explained it... kinda anyways)
*~*~*
They had to open up the ball, with the top students of year 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. (From now on her name is Isabella...) Isabella was trained very well in ballroom dancing.
She waltzed perfectly, their bodies in perfect sync.
*~*~*
The students chatted about Isabella while she danced with James.
"She's pretty..."
"...Thinks she's all that..."
"...Can really dance together..."
"They're meant for each other..."
"Who is she?"
"... Said she was Isabella Renaldo..."
"Master will be pleased..."
"Wasn't she in the Daily Prophet a lot?"
"Wonderful dancing..."
"She barely has any makeup on!"
"...Prophecy..."
"Mystery Lady..."
*~*~*
Around 9 PM, James grew tired from dancing, and lead her to the refreshments. They sat at one of the small round tables to chat...
*~*~*
About 10:30 PM, they started dancing...
Meanwhile people around them were whispering about this mystifying girl named Isabella Renaldo.
*~*~*
Precisely at 12:54 PM, the couple left... What they talked about, unbeknownst to others...
*~*~*
Isabella grinned, and said sharply, "You know my secrets. I suppose we could go out." When James asked if she wanted to go out with him.
Slipping into the common room, James seized her arm, and pulled her in as if she was twirling for a slow dance. Catching her chin and tilting it upwards, James' lips met hers in a soft kiss.
"Goodnight, Isabella. See you... soon." James whispered.
"Sweet dreams, James." Isabella faintly whispered back.

*~*~*Author Notes*~*~*
1. I finally put up this Valentine's Edition. I know, I know. It's Halloween when it's Valentine's Day. How ironic. But still, it's the beginning of the school year. So what do you expect?
2. Any flames, complaints, please, e-mail me rather than reviews. Constructive criticism is welcome in reviews.
3. Is this L/J action-fulfilled yet?!? I want to dedicate this chapter to that action, because sometimes when I read other fics, the romance sometimes gets in the way, or there's too little.
4. Okay- here are some series to tide you over til the next hp book!
a. The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot (One of the BEST series EVER!)
b. Fearless by Francine Pascal (May I remind you, this is not intended for any immature audience!)
c. Fingerprints by Melinda Metz (Unfortunately, as the rumors go, Fingerprints ended at #7.)
d. Sweep by Cate Tiernan (If you liked Circle of Three by Isobel Bird, you'll LOVE this series. I luv this more than Circle of Three!)
e. Replica by Marilyn Kaye (A child's version of Fearless, in a way... More scientifically correct and more adventurous)
f. If anyone knows of a great series, please include it in your review or e-mail me at [1]pampered_tigeress@hotmail.com thanks so much!
I know, not much. I was planning to write it longer... grrr....
