The Christmas Dance
Christmas was here before I knew it and I wasn't able to find Lily alone or maybe it was that I didn't want to. There was a dance before we were to go home. Lily was going with the jerk Brett Willington, Peter was going with someone Sirius turned down, Remus was going with Jessica as "friends", and Sirius was going with the girl he said was his one true love Sarah Trickle. Then there was me I didn't want to go, meaning I didn't feel like being tortured. I laid in bed as Remus, Sirius and Peter walked in the room.
"James, old pal, What's with you?" Sirius asked me taking a seat on my bed.
"Don't feel wel.l" I rolled over and stared at the curtain.
"Hope ya feel better. We'll be back at midnight, see you then." He patted me on the back and went off to get ready with the others. As they left Remus yelled, "We'll make sure to get you some sweets." The door then slammed shut. I sprung to my feet looking threw my trunk for my candy and invisibility cloak my father gave me, my Second year at Hogwarts. I slid out the door to the common room and sat in a corner, watching everyone leave for the dance.
I dropped my chocolate frog and my mouth hung open, when I saw Lily walking down the stairs. She glowed with radiance. She wore a long white dress that showed all her curves, it had a slit that went half way up her leg and her hair was in long curls down her back. She was an angel. I thought to myself as the last couple left the common room. Getting up from were I sat, still wrapped in my cloak, I sat in an armchair mesmerized by the burning fire. About 2 hours later, I heard someone storm threw the portrait door, I turned to she it was Lily, looking around quickly she ran up to her dorm slamming the door. I then ran to my dorm put my cloak and put my candy away. Then ran up to her dorm. "Lil's" I said knocking. No answer, so I let my self-in. "Lil's" I said again, she still didn't answer. I saw a lump under the covers, on one of the four poster beds. "Lil's" I said siting down beside her.
"James" she answered in surprise.
"Yeah, What's wrong?" I ran my hand over the covers.
"Nothing" came her muffled voice.
"Come on Lily, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, your upset."
"You wouldn't understand, you'd probably laugh."
"Try me. I swear on my mother's grave I won't laugh." I slowly stated to pull the covers off.
"Promise?!" she said siting up and looking straight at me.
"Promise." I smiled back. There were tearstains down her cheek. I never saw Lily cry. She was a rock.
"Well I found Brett kissing another girl." she said looking down.
"That jerk! Don't let him get to you."
"No, that's not all, he was kissing Kat, my so called best friend, she knew I was going out with him, but she went behind my back. James, thought she was my friend" silent tears started to roll down her cheeks.
"It's ok Lil's. I'll be your new friend" I opened my arms to her and she fall into them. I pulled her on to my lap and held her in my arms. It felt so good to comfort her. "Are you staying for Christmas?" I asked breaking the silence.
"Yes, that's the other thing. I don't want to but my parents are going on vaction to Paris with my older sister and there not taking me" She still wouldn't look at me.
"Why?" I said holding her tight to me.
"Because last time we went to Paris I said I hated it and never wanted to go again. But I do." She know was looking at me, I wiped away the tears that were running down her cheeks.
"Then spend Christmas with me and the guys, were going to my summer house in Florida that's in the United States. Your parents and sister can freeze in Paris and you can get a tan with the hottest guy in school."
This brought a smile to her face "I have to ask."
"Then ask. I'll help you write the owl, I'm the king of conning parents."
"Thanks James" she said hugging me after I put her down.
"No, thank you. Your going to make this my best Christmas ever."
"Oh, stop that" she said blushing.
"No really" she rolled her eyes at me and we wrote the letter to her parents. We then went to the owlrey and sent it. She ran threw the portrait door and to her dorm and I chased after her. "Got you," I said tackling her to the floor of her dorm.
"NO" she said tickling me.
"Stop" I yelled tickling her back, we went back and forth for about an hour tickling on another till we were to tried. Lily laid down and pulled the covers over her.
"So you give up," I said jumping on her bed next to her.
"I guess!" she said yawing. I smiled and got up to leave. "James."
"Yeah."
"This isn't a prank because if it is I'll kill you and your friends with my bare hands."
"No, Lil's its not. It's just I like you a lot and I want to be friends, well more then friends but I know it want happen so, I want to be friends." I ran from the room hoping she wouldn't cancel the plans if her parents said yes. When I reach my room I opened the closet door and took at seat. This was my sanctuary, my place to think and relax. The door flow open and the dim light I could see Lily's figure, she shut the door and took a sat next to me.
"Did you mean that?" she finally said.
"Well yeah, no, maybe, I'm not sure" I stuttered. "How did you know I was in here?"
"Answer my question and I'll answer yours." I could tell she was looking straight at me.
"If it makes you happy, Lil's I like you."
"Oh, James" her arms flew around my neck.
"How did you know I was in here?" I asked again with a softer tone.
"Did you forget already. When your mom, um… passed you stayed in here for almost a month and it was me and the guys, who brought you food. If anything upset you from then on you ran here."
"Oh, yeah. I forgot" I ran my hands through my hair. Then I felt lily's lips on mine, she went to pull away, but I wouldn't let her. I pulled her close to me embracing her around the middle, her arms were loosely wrapped around my neck, and she was playing with my hair between her fingers. She kissed so gentle and with so much feeling, I was never kissed like this before, it sent me on a tail spin, my heart was beating in my throat when we finally parted. "Lil's I…"
She put her finger on my lips to shut me up. "They'll be back soon. See you in the morning."
"But.." she wouldn't let me speak. She got up from the floor and I followed suit. I walked her to the dorm door.
"Night" she said kissing me on the cheek and leaving.
"Night" I called after her. Still in shock I changed and laid down. But I couldn't sleep; I couldn't wait of tomorrow. I had her, she was the one, and I knew it. Soon after I laid down I heard people clunking up the stairs.
"Hey, James you awake?" Sirius yelled. I portended to sleep. "James are you sleeping" he started to shake me. "James?"
"Sirius leave him alone! He's sleeping!" came Remus voice.
"Fine he loses out on the cake. I'm eating it." They finally laid down and the room went silent. I dosed off in the early hours only to wake up to Sirius jumping on my bed with Peter and Remus trying to stop him. Key word trying.
"I'M UP! I'M UP!" I shouted as I joined then.
"You guys are going to brake something like last time" Remus shouted.
"Oh, shut up and have fun." I said as I pulled him on to the bed with us and like we were in first year again, we jumped till we all fell off. We all laid on the floor laughing hysterically when Lily and her friends (Sirius girl friend and Remus's "friend") barged in. "Lil's" I called out standing up. All the girl started to giggle and I realized it was because we were all in are boxers. I shrugged and said, "Hey, it covers as much as a bathing suit."
They shoke their heads and looked up at us. "We thought something happened there was a loud bang and then something that sounded like screaming. You know your worse then two year olds!" Lily said and they all turned and left, shutting the door behind them. We all shrugged and got ready.
"Guys, come here." I said standing in the middle of all are four poster beds.
"Yeah coming" they answered back. They all walked over.
"Alright, I invited Lil's to come with us to my dad's summer home. I just want you guys to know not to mess with her, that means no pranks from now till we get make from the trip got it, Sirius."
" Yeah, Yeah! Why are you being so nice to her I thought you hated her?"
"Hands off Sirius she's mine and I think we have something" I said smiling and walking out off the room with all of them behind me. I heard Sirius asking Remus when this happened and why wasn't he told and so on. "Lil's" I said coming up from behind her and wrapping my arms around her. "Did you get your owl back yet?"
"No, she should be back at the mail call for breakfast, I packed my stuff."
"Cool, lets get to breakfast then." I grabbed her hand and we walked out of the common room. Leaving everyone in there stunned that we had gotten together or maybe they were afraid what we might do, the two best students in the school together and they both love playing pranks. We set down waiting for everyone had arrived and when they did.
The head master spoke "The train will be leaving at 11:00. So if your leaving get your stuff together right after breakfast and if not I would like it if you could sign the sheet hanging on the door. Thank you" he said taking a set as the food appeared in front of us. We just finish as the mail came. Lily sprang to her feet grabbing her owl in flight, she took the letter, and I flew like mad. She unrolled it and squeaked.
"What?" I asked not knowing what it meant.
"I can come, I really can!" she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me. In front of everyone. "I can come" she squeaked again grabbing my hand and pulling me from the table. When we got outside the great hall, she spun around. "James, my parents never let me go anywhere unless, they meet the parents and so on, and know there letting me go alone to a summer home in the United States.
"Not alone with us." I said to annoy her.
"You know what I mean." We went back to the common room and double-checked are stuff to make sure we had what we needed.
