I'm soooo happie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got over 50 reviews for 3 chappies!!!

Trust me I have plans for Lily, for James, and for Claudia. Muuhhhahhahahahahahaha!

Ok personally I am sick of all the best friends falling for best friends kinda thing so I'm just gonna make Lily have average normal girl friends (not girlfriend girlfriend)

Also some of ya'll were wondering the Marauders aren't Lily's only friends, she does have friends but they are not important, so I didn't mention them too much. Like I said, it's mainly because of the Lily's best friends always fall for the rest of the Marauders thing. Ugh! I am soooooooo sick of that.

Anyways, enough of my babblings, on with the show… ahem in this case on with the story…

Sure, James Potter had gotten so popular that he was asked to join the Quidditch team and found that he had talents on the field. And also he was now the Hogwarts heartthrob, but that didn't mean that he wasn't nervous towards his long time crush, the Hogwarts beauty queen. Especially when it came time for him to ask her to the Halloween Masquerade. (A/N: so cliché, I know! But like I said, I have plans for them.) He didn't even know what to say to her! Every time she's near, his tongue just tie up and he would make a fool outta himself.

His nerves grew even worse when he found out they would have to waltz at the dance. He didn't know how to waltz! He didn't even think he knew a person who could waltz! Wait a second… he did know a person who could waltz…

A person who had formal parents… A person who had been forced to waltz in her parents' little parties… A person who had told him specifically about her waltz lessons…

The person was Lily Evans.

(A/N: You expected that.)

Lily wasn't sure if she did James a favor or not, because these days he had been seen taking millions of girls out and then dumping them.

Lily knew he liked Claudia and those girls were just there to occupy him while he works up his nerve to ask her to the dance.

Lily sighed; she had turned him into a heartless womanizer! Is that better than a nerd?

As Lily pondered this question, the door to her dorm flew open, and in came a very worried looking James Potter.

Lily looked up startled, "James! What are you doing in here? You're not supposed to be in here!"

"HELP!!!!!!!!! Heeeeeeeeeeelp! I need help! Again! Pleeeeeeeeease Lily!"

Lily was very confused, first of all James had just burst in the girls' dormitory, second of all he's screaming his head off, and thirdly he wants help from her, not any other preppy bimbos.

"Um… ok… What do you need help on? Please don't tell me you are being hunted down by the Hufflepuffs and you need a place to hide."

"Ha Ha very funny," laughed James dryly. "You know that I wanna take Claudia to the Halloween Masquerade right?" Lily nodded. "Well, I just found out that you have to waltz in that thing. And since you're the only one who knows how to waltz… I was wondering if you could…"

"Teach you?" Lily finished for him and stared at him. Then she burst out laughing.

James looked confused and hurt, " What? What's so funny?"

"Can you imagine yourself waltzing? With Claudia? That girl probably doesn't even knew what a waltz is! And you… You're clumsy enough without trying to not step on her toes!"

James looked at his shoes. Lily stopped laughing and turned to him; "You really like her don't you?"

"Yeah…"

"I'm sorry, it's just that you seem so different when you're with the bimbos."

"They were just a fling, but Claudia… she's different…"

Lily looked sympathetically at her friend, and hugged him, " I'll teach you the waltz, this time, I'm doing this outta the goodness of my heart."

James grinned and grabbed Lily's hands, "Ok, how do we start?"

Lily smiled at his eagerness and taught him the basics. Soon James started doing very well, and even Lily was amazed at how fast he was picking it up. They talked while they danced and she learned that they were also slow dancing at the masquerade and not to her surprise, James didn't know how to slow dance either.

They switched from the waltz to slow dancing and Lily had her hands around his neck and head leaning on his chest. For some strange reason, she felt just right. She quickly jerked back and stammered, "T-t-hhat's it for today! You did well! If you still have trouble talking to Claudia then you can always come to me for help later, but for right now, I'm pooped."

With that she pushed James out the door and flopped onto her bed feeling extremely confused.

'What was that?' she asked herself, 'You will soo not have a crush on your friend, no way!'

James walked down the stairs and found Sirius and Remus in armchairs by the fire.

"Hey, what's up?" Sirius asked as he spotted James.

"Oh the usual, worrying about Claudia, worrying about the next Quidditch match, worrying about Claudia, worrying about Flitwick's test next Wednesday, worrying about what costume I'm gonna wear to the masquerade, worrying about Claudia, worrying about our next prank, oh, and did I mention worrying about Claudia?"

Sirius and Remus goggled at him, "You need to up a bit man, Claudia will love you, you're gonna cream the Ravenclaws in the Quidditch match, just study for Flitwick's test and me and Sirius will help you on the costume thing and our next prank."

Sirius just nodded feverishly next to Remus. Apparently Remus had just said everything that was needed to be said.

"Thanks guys, I'll just go up to my room now."

As soon as James left, Sirius turned to Remus and said in a baby voice, "Rwemmie… it's twime to shteal Jamesie's ittle cloak and pay an ittle wittle wisit to our dear wittle Lily."

Remus stared at Sirius, apparently not understanding the baby talk.

"OH FOR GOODNESS SAKE REMUS, I SAID… it's time to steal James's little cloak and pay an little visit to our dear little Lily!" Sirius bellowed, then under his breath he said, "Are all werewolves that stupid…?"
