A/N- Thanks foe all of you who reviewed (which wasn't that many!!!!!!). But
to those of you who have been wondering *why* Sirius did call Lily
'Darling'.. here is the answer! DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!!!!! Ok…. Now you
may read! No.. wait.. just for all of you who noticed that Seamus's dad was
a muggle.. (thanks quitesirius), we'll pretend he wasn't.. Hehe.
*~*~~*Darling*~*~~*~*
'AHHH! WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?' Elizabeth was going crazy, and it bothered everyone!
'Calm down.. man!' Lily was fed up.
'Why aren't you excited, Lily?' Jenny asked trying on a silk purple robe.
Lily frowned..
*Why aren't I excited?*
She put her hair up in a bun leaving a strand to dangle by her face. She wore a dark green velvet robe with flowers.
'Liz, wear this one. It suites you well!' Jenny suggested.
Someone knocked at the door, and Lily went to open it.
'Hi there, is Jenny there?'
'Also check if Elizabeth is there too.'
Sirius just stood there, looking impatient.
'Sure' and Lily turned back around.
'The boys are here..'
Jenny went outside quickly, and stood with Jason, and started talking.
'You look.. beautiful' Jason said stunned.
She turned red. 'Not bad yourself.'
'Uh.. Lily can you check if Lizzy is ready?'
The shriek from the girl's room gave it away.
Lily went in with a sigh.
'Elizabeth.. Daniel is getting impatient.'
'Oy.. okay..'
Elizabeth walked out hesitantly, leading Lily. Daniel held out his arm, and she took it. Jenny already left with Jason. Sirius was waiting for Lily. Lily put on her first smile for the evening, and walked side by side with Sirius.
'First dance of the year, wonder who McGonnagall is going with..' Lily said amused.
Sirius snorted.
'You gonna dance?' Sirius asked.
'I'm not sure yet. I don't exactly know *how* to dance.' Lily said blushing.
'So it's agreed? We aren't dancing?' Sirius asked keeping James in mind.
'Err.. maybe.. I actually do wanna dance..'
'Oh.'
'Who is James going with? I don't think he told us.'
'I'm pretty sure he's going alone.'
'Surely by choice.. right?'
'He hates --not to mention can't-- dance.'
Lily laughed.
They reached the entrance.
'Are we going looking like a couple?'
'Guess so' and Lily linked arms with Sirius.
They walked in.. only to find the dance had already started. They quickly sat down near James and Peter.
'How's it going?' Peter asked miserably.
'What's up with you?' Lily asked stacking food.
'I don't have a ..date..'
'No surprise there..' James muttered to Sirius.
Sirius laughed.
'So what about you James? No lover girl?' Lily said.
'Nah.. don't think love was meant for me.' (A/N- right now I'm thinking of the song 'I'm a believer'. The first few verses are as follows: I thought love was only true in fairy tales. Meant for everyone but not for me..)
Just then swing music started to play. Sirius couldn't resist.
'Come on Lily baby.. lets *dance*!'
At that he swept Lily off her feet (literally) and they started dancing. Sirius twirled her, danced with her.. and all in all they both had a good time.
James just sighed and watched his best friend get stolen away by a girl. James then noticed someone looking at Peter. He had no choice..
'Peter, girl checking you out..'
Peter's face lit up.
'Where?' Peter was eager.
He pointed the Hufflepuff eying Peter.
'Sorry Jamsie-boy (James scowled), I'm gonna dance!'
'Enjoy..'
The song ended and so did the dancing. Everyone took their seats, and started the main course.
Remus went to sit by Lesley's table. Jenny and Elizabeth sat next to Lily.
Jenny's expression showed what she didn't say.
She was having a horrible time.
'So how're you enjoying the dance?' Elizabeth asked dazed. It obvious that Elizabeth was having a great time.
'eh……' Lily laughed at this remark.
'What about you Lil's?' Jenny asked.
To her own surprise Lily said 'Great! Sirius is a great dancer.'
'Really? Oooo.. Lily..'
Lily blushed. She wanted to ask Sirius something, but noticed he was in a deep conversation with James and Peter.
'So Pete.. got the potion?' James asked excitedly.
'Couldn't forget it! Here.'
James quietly took the potion from Peters hand, and slipped some of it into Lily's, Jenny's, and Elizabeth's goblets. Sirius smirked, he couldn't wait for the results.
Lily was the first to drink.
Big mistake.
Peter couldn't control himself; he started laughing.
James whispered '5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1!'
Jenny and Elizabeth noticed Lily's hair started to grow…….. worms?
They quickly took her outside.
'Uh.. miss?' someone caught hold of Jenny's wrist.
It was Matt Kunner.
'Lizzy take her outside. I'll be back in a moment.'
Elizabeth took a very confused Lily outside.
'Jenny?'
'What Kunner?' Jenny snapped. She was very annoyed at him.
'Call me Matt, please. I was wondering if you wanted to dance. I mean.. you look SO gorgeous and-'
'Stuff it Romeo.' (A/N- That is my *favorite* line!!!)
Jenny turned around heading for the door, but she wasn't fast enough. Matt grabbed her wrist and spun her around.
'Why don't you like me?' Matt asked pleadingly.
Jenny took her hand out of his grasp and folded her arms. She frowned.
*Wait a second.. he doesn't know why I don't like him. He doesn't know about Lily..*
'Cause I do.. 'kay? Let's leave it at that.'
This time no one stopped her when she left.
She found Lily sitting outside, and to her surprise.. she was laughing uncontrollably.
Elizabeth looked helpless. She stood there trying to figure out what was so funny about having worms dirty your hair.
'So what happened with Kunner?' Elizabeth asked.
Lily quieted down.
'What?'
'Nothing.. he just wanted to know why I said no.' Jenny answered with a wave of her hand to dismiss the topic.
'He.. is.. still wondering?'
'Apparently' Elizabeth said quietly.
Jenny elbowed her.
'Why?' Lily said breathlessly.
'Evans, Pril, and Scenor, Professor McGonnagall said we have to all stay under one roof, so all of you get back in.' Ashley Duff, Prefect said. She quickly added 'Lily.. clean your hair..'
Lily started walking in reluctantly wiping out the remaining worms.
Jenny was immediately pulled into a dance by……… Matt Kunner.
Lily sat down next to Sirius, and stared in disgust. She wanted to find Jason, and hoped that he could separate the two. He was dancing with another girl.
Lily had an idea.
'Sirius, lets go dance.'
She pulled him out of a conversation with James.
'What's up, hun?'
'Well..' She shifted their position. 'Look over there..' She hissed.
He saw Jenny and Matt dancing.
What's with that guy? Wait.. you don't still like him.. do you?' He was shocked.
'Well..' she was hesitant.
'Well.. I know you want me to cut in with Jenny and you cut in with Kunner.. it ain't gonna happen!'
'Wha? Wha? That was *not* my plan!' Lily said laughing and lying through her teeth.
'No?' He said now laughing.
'Nice hair trick.. but worms aren't really my thing!' Lily said while dancing to a new song with Sirius.
Sirius laughed heartily. Lily smiled.
*What-do-you know? I'm enjoying myself.* The two both thought.
On the other side of the room Remus was dancing with Lesley. On the corner of his eye, he saw Lily and Sirius dancing.
*Hmm.. they look good together..*
James noticed Sirius was having a good time.
He frowned.
He then noticed, Jenny wasn't.
'Matt.. please..'
'How about a stroll through Hogsmeade?'
'No..' Jenny said as if it weren't the first time she'd been asked this question.
Matt stiffened up, and Jenny noticed that his grip was tightening.
'Why not?'
'Cause I don't like you.'
'FINE!'
Matt twirled her out and spun her into the drinks.
James dashed towards Jenny, trying to help her up.
'Oh.. so Potter, here is your boyfriend?' Matt almost shouted.
'Stuff it Kunner.' James said coolly.
James turned around holding Jenny by the shoulders. Matt took out his wand and yelled 'Expelliarmus!'
James flew into the Ravenclaw table. He laid there, opened his eyes, and quietly got out his wand. He waited for Matt to get closer until..
'Accio wand!'
Matt's wand flew out of his hand right into James'. Matt walked up to James and punched him square in the face. James punched him back. Everyone was staring at James and matt. Jenny felt it was her fault so she went in between the two and put out her hands to stop the fighting.
She turned to James and said 'Thanks, but I'll take it from here.'
She turned to Matt and said 'Matt, I am flattered you are fond of me, but I don't feel that way about you. It is NOT because James is my boyfriend, in fact.. he isn't. But.. please.. accept the facts the way they are, and enjoy the rest of your dance.'
Matt slightly nodded, bighting his lip, as if trying to stop himself from saying anything he didn't want to say.
Jenny walked away, slightly proud of herself she handled that all by herself.
*But where is McGonnagall?* She wondered
Remus and Elizabeth caught up with jenny. Sirius went to find Peter; he wanted to ask him a question. Lilt went to talk to James.
(A/N- gooooooood part!)
'Wow James, that was mighty brave of you.. but you know the saying "If you have to resort to violence, you've already lost". Lily said
'Yea well that prat deserved it.' James muttered angrily.
James started walking faster and Lily had to run to catch up with him. She gripped his elbow so that he would stop.
'James, you have to calm down in order for me to talk to you.'
'Well, did it ever occur to you, that I may not want tot talk to you?', and at that, he got his elbow out of her grip and started walking again.
Instead of catching up with him, Lily stood there for a moment thinking. The she ran back next to him.
'James what's up with you?'
'What's up with *me*? Why don't you go ask your boyfriend, Sirius, that?'
He tried to continue walking, but Lily blocked his way.
'James Potter, STOP! Are you.. jealous? You think I'm stealing Sirius away from you?'
'What's to think about?' James said in a tone Lily thought he wasn't even capable of using.
Lily sighed.
'Okay.. James.. the first time Sirius called me Darling,' James rolled his eyes, and if Lily noticed it, she chose to ignore it. 'was at breakfast. Before I cut him off, he was about to say that the night before, we were going over every ones names. When we got to mine.. well.. I never told anyone.. my middle name is Darling.'
James was genuinely sincere when he asked:
'What?'
Lily laughed lightly.
My full name is Lillian Darling Evans. Sirius wanted to start calling me Darling. But when you guys freaked out the other day, I decided to have a little fun. It's obvious that it got out of hand.'
(A/N-Ohhhhh.. now you know!)
'Oh.' James said looking embarrassed. 'Sorry.'
'You okay?'
James nodded.
Lily kissed him on the cheek.
'Good.'
Lillian Darling Evans started walking away.
'See you Darling!' James said a little happier.
She turned around and continued walking (In other words. walking backwards)
She winked at him and said 'Careful, someone might hear you and get jealous. Oh, and thanks for the worms.'
James chuckled to himself lightly.
Lily turned back around. James gazed after her until it was too dark.
*Well, at least that's settled* was on both their minds before fluttering their eyes in to a dreamless sleep.
