Disclaimer: No I do not own any of the characters except Rachael, Abi,
Nicole, and Betty and Bob Evans. And now I'm involving The Weird Brothers
– I couldn't think of another band name and it was kinda copied off of
Rowling's Weird Sisters so give her credit for that
A/N: Finally it's here! Sorry it took forever to write this but I hope you like it. Now I'm back to James here. And also I decided to change the rating up to PG-13 I have a sudden urge to use more mature terms
Chapter 11: The Actual Dance
**************************
When James had first saw Lily – it felt as if his heart had skipped a beat. She looked so – sexy. Her robes were so perfect. Now they were at Three Broomsticks drinking their butterbeers. Many other Hogwarts students were there killing time until it was time to go to the dance – the actual place was called the The Hangout. James was extremely excited. He liked the way Lily left down her hair casually. It fell over her shoulders in huge, red waves.
"Remus," said James, voicing the sudden thought that just occurred to him. "Who will you be dancing with?"
Remus suddenly looked uncomfortable. "Well, I can't tell you – you'll just laugh at me."
"No I won't," said James. "Just tell me, heck if you're that worried about it whisper it in my ear."
Remus looked uncertain. "Well, ok," he said reluctantly. "But you better not tell laugh."
"Ok, ok!" said James and he leaned down for Remus to whisper in his ear.
"Arabella Figg," whispered Remus.
James sputtered out a bit of butterbeer and looked at Remus in disbelief. "Her?!" he said.
Remus nodded, looking intently into James face.
"Well – gosh Remus she's the most popular girl here! Did you ask her? Why would I laugh about that you lucky duck!" said James.
"Yes," responded Remus, smiling and feeling very relieved, but still going red. "She said ok and I'm supposed to meet her there."
James whistled. "Dang she must have been pretty desperate."
"No, she wasn't!" said Remus indignantly.
"I'm just kidding!" said James with a smile. "I mean – you're lucky! She's really hot!"
Remus looked very relieved and was about to say something when Peter Peddigrew appeared at the table. He was with – Nicole. She was looking sulky and she eyed Lily with James. Even though they were supposed to be on good terms – she still wanted James back. They sat down with the rest of them and started up a new conversation. James kept checking his watch. 20 more minutes… 15… 10… 5… finally only 3 more minutes until the dance was officially going to start. He started to stand up and said, "Well we should probably start heading down there – it's almost time."
Lily and the others nodded and got up too. As they walked down the street Lily held on to his arm very tightly. James noticed she looked very nervous- excited, but nervous. James didn't see what she had to worry about – she was probably the best looking one there – well maybe except Rachael and Arabella Figg.
When they arrived it was packed with practically the whole school from the third years up. Finally the door was open – and Lily and James were swept with the current into the building. There was already a band there – a bunch of almost teenage looking boys. Beside him, Lily gave an excited squeal. "Who are those people?" he asked Lily.
"The Weird Brothers!"
"The Weird Brothers?" he said blankly.
"You haven't heard of them?" she said incredulously. "They're really good!"
There was a huge dance floor with a bunch tables around and food. And The Weird Brothers had already started to play a song. Lily dragged James out to the dance floor and she began to dance. She was undoubtedly a good dancer. The problem was that James wasn't too good at doing that. "Uh Lily?" he stammered.
"What?" she murmured swaying to the music.
"Well – I'm not very good – at," he gulped, "dancing."
"Oh that's ok!" she said casually. "Just copy what everybody else is doing! That's what I'm trying to do, anyway."
"Oh!" said James, looking around. He pointed out a couple doing a very enthusiastic and lively dance. They spent more time trying to imitate their moves and later collapsed into some chairs nearby, breathless and laughing. They got some drinks and watched everybody else. Remus looked so ridiculous with Arabella Figg, with his hat barely reaching her nose (Arabella was really tall). But she seemed to be having a fun time – and Remus certainly was too. He had a dazed expression on his face as he peered up at Arabella's face. Abi and Sirius were also nearby – dancing a very exuberant dance. A few short minutes later James and Lily went out on the dance floor and made up their own moves. Suddenly a slow and romantic tune started and Lily and James walked onto the floor. Lily seemed to know how to do this. She held his hands and placed them on her waist. Then she hung her arms around his neck and they slowly danced, staring into each other's eyes.
"Awwwww…" Lily thought to herself. "James is so cute." She could feel him trembling.
All to soon, the dance was over – and it was nearly time to go. They started to gather up their cloaks. When people were heading out the door Lily enclosed James in a tight hug. James was embarrassed - but rather please anyway. When she finally released she stared into his eyes and was about to say something when suddenly they heard a piercing scream.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" (duh duh duhhhh)

A/N: Another cliffhanger! Hehe I love doing that but if you want me to continue I need reviews! Umm lets see I have decided to rename this fanfiction because it sounds retarded – suggestions appreciated. Anyhoo see you in chapter 12
