Lily's New Friend

Chapter 5

"Maybe today wasn't so bad after all"

James looked at Lily with amusement, and smiled back at his wonderful friend. Then the band started to play a slow song that was first written by the Sand Men a couple of years before this. Lily was getting bored by now, just sitting around so she asked the question James had really wanted to hear, "Do you want to dance, James?"

"Sure," said James with a big grin. He put down his drink on the table, stood and led her to the dance floor.

Lily liked how her hand felt in his, it was as if their hands had been made for each other. Then he let go of her hands and put them lightly on her waist while she clasped hers around his neck.

The way that James held her as they danced was light, as if she were something that might break. It was nice dancing with him, but also very different from the wild all-over-the-place dancing she had done with Sam. That had been fun, but this was fantastic.

Lily looked up in to James's bright blue eyes and grinned and as he did the same. "Do you like the Sand Men?" asked James, referring to the song that was playing.

"I really like about anything, I'm not really that into music," Lily replied.

"Yeah, I like some of their songs," James said quietly.

To Lily it was a bit of a shock when the song ended and the world rushed back at her as James dropped his arms and so did she. Lily smiled and said, "Thanks" shyly and turned and walked away, missing the slightly disappointed look on James's face.

As she was walking over to get a glass of pumpkin juice, Sandria walked up behind her. "So did you enjoy dancing with him?" she asked, and even though she had a big smile on her pretty face, her tone in Lily's opinion was saying "You're lucky I let you."

"Yes, I did," said Lily, smiling and ignoring the hint of meanness in Sandria's voice.

Lily went and spotted Sam sitting at a table alone and she headed over to him and they danced the rest of the night away. As they left at eleven o'clock with everyone else Sam bent down and kissed Lily on the cheek and whispered, "Thanks for a great time!" into her ear before she turned and headed up to the Gryffindor common room where she met up with Fran. Adrian was there, too, but she was busy sitting on the couch talking to John.

"Lily, did you have a good time?" Asked Fran.

"Yes, I had a great time!" said Lily with a huge smile.

"Did James bother you any? I saw him talking to you then I lost sight of you," said Fran, worried, knowing what had happened between them.

"No, actually, I did dance with him and he apologized for the way he was acting," said Lily to Fran, "I'll tell you and Adrian all about it tonight in the room, okay? Did you have a good time?"

"Yes, it was fabulous," said Fran and went off telling Lily all about her night, but Lily wasn't giving her full attention for James and Sandria had just walked in.

James spotted Lily and gave her a grin which Sandria thought had been directed at her. Sandria ran her fingers through his hair, not noticing the very perturbed look on his face. Then she leaned in to give James a passionate kiss.

James saw Sandria lean in to him, and knowing her, this wasn't just going to be a peck, but he didn't know what to do. He didn't want to push her away, but then all of a sudden she stopped. Her hands flew from around his neck to her butt.

"Ouch," Sandria yelped loudly enough to get the whole common room's attention.

Sandria felt another shock in her butt and then another. She was so embarrassed she could barely stop from crying, as she ran up to her dorm room with sporadic butt shocks.

Amanda got up from where she had been on Sirius's lap, making out with him, to run up the stairs after her twin.

James looked up and saw that Lily was grinning at him and she winked. He smiled too. With a look of amazement in his eye that she could do wand less magic and a wink to say thanks, he turned and went up to his dorm thinking, "Maybe today wasn't so bad after all."
