Here's another L/J!
*~*~*~*
This is My Story. But you could've guessed that easily. My life is not as easy as that though, and my story starts with a boy. Or, perhaps not a boy. Maybe it really starts on a happy June afternoon...
"Hey, Lily!"
Yep, that's me. I'm Lily: beautiful, smart seventeen-year-old witch. I had prospects - I was going to the Magid University to get a teaching degree. I was also Head Girl at my school, Hogwarts.
"Hi, James."
And that would be my boyfriend, James Potter: hated each other for years, then finally gave up and fell in love. But thats a whole other story...
~~~~~~~~
"I can't believe they let us do this." Lily walked beside her boyfriend: James Potter, the Head Boy.
James shrugged. "That's why they made you Head Girl, cause only you would push for a Muggle-style dance."
Lily smiled up at him. "All the girls are going to go ballistic. They'll love it."
James laughed and said the password to Gryffindor tower. They climbed through the portrait hole and out into the common room.
"Lily!" Morgana Wynn, Lily's best friend, jumped up from the couch and ran towards her. "So, are we having the dance or not?"
"Yeah! I still can't believe they agreed! It's going to be so awesome..." James left the the girls to talk and went over the watch his best friend Sirius Black get pounded on the chessboard by Remus Lupin, another of James' friends.
"Hey, Prongs. So, what's up with the dance? Check." Remus smiled his little knowing smile.
"We're having it." Sirius moved his queen to stop the attack. "Ooooh, You're gone, Sirius..."
Remus smiled again and moved. "Checkmate. Now, wasn't that fun? You lasted out for much longer this time."
"Joy." Sirius flopped back on the couch. "So, what's the date for the dance?"
"June 23, a week before graduation." He sat in Sirius's spot in front of the chessboard. "Fancy a game, Remus?"
"You're on."
~~~~~~~~
"Lily, stop moving. You look beautiful. STOP." Morgana shook her head and froze Lily's legs to the floor. "That's better. Now hold still, so I can do up your hair." Morgana loved Lily's long dark red hair. She touched the wand to the top of her hair and did a funny little charm that she had learned ages ago, where it highlights your hair naturally. Now Lily's hair was alive with streaks of bright red. Then, also using her wand, Morgana did up the top half of her hair, leaving the rest to fall down around her purple satin dress.
"There, all done." Morgana stood back and grinned. "You look great. Now hop on down to the common room, I'll meet you there in a sec."
Lily walked down the stairs, and came into the common room. The four boys talking in a circle immediatly stopped and stared, not used to her looking beautiful.
"Madmoiselle Lillian, shall I have the honor of escorting you to the fair couch?"
"James, drop the accent."
"With pleasure." Morgana was now down the stairs, magnificent in black, as she curtsied to Sirius and took his arm daintily.
"And now," said Remus, with his girlfriend Ceilia, "Let us proceed."
They headed to the Great Hall. "To the right and straight on 'till morning!" Lily said as she threw open the doors.
They all loved the decorations. Lily was, as she put it, "something of an artist," and the whole Great Hall shimmered with crystalline stars and moons, and flowers were growing all down the walls. It was truly a wonderland.
~~~~~~~~
You are the Dancing Queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
"Eighteen next tuesday!" "Yeah!" "Happy birthday, Lils!"
Dancing Queen
Feel the beat from the tamborine, oh yeah!
Lily was taking the party by storm. Both she and James were good dancers, and they looked so good together: Lily's bright red hair and lavender dress, James with his dark sweater and hair. And every now and then Lily would take up the mike and sing a number. She was an exceptional singer, and no doubt, the true Dancing Queen.
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Oh see that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the Dancing Queen
~~~~~~~~
"Oh... oh... oh..." Lily couldn't stop laughing.
"And then," said James, leaning over to the others. "She comes up, and OH MY GOD, WATCH OUT FOR THAT OASIS!" This strange proclamation sent the Gryffindor seventh years into gales of laughter.
After the dance had regretfully ended at 2 in the morning, the Gryffindors had decided to take the party to a little Muggle ice cream shop that the girls were extremely fond of, known as "the Creamery." Now they were clustered around a small table, eating ice cream and telling dumb jokes, totally going wild: not at all like the 17 and 18-year-olds they were. And Head Boy and Girl, to boot.
"Okay, I've got one," Lily said. "So, once me'n James were at the movies, right?"
"Ohhh, haha." James grinned.
"And then, so we're watching the movie, la ta da ta da, and then the door was thrown open, and this HUGE guy comes running, as fast as he can, down the aisle. And now nobody's watching the screen. He was looking for something, it seemed. And then he jumped up in front of the screen, so he had a big hobbit on his stomach. And he yells, 'Hooray for the spicy chipmunk!' And I start laughing so hard it's not even funny." Which made this obviously fake story even funnier. "And I just... Whoo, I could barely watch the rest of the movie!" Everyone laughed even harder.
"Hey, guys?" It was that manager person. "We're closing up, sorry. Gotta get the customers out before we lock the door though." Everyone was still laughing, but they did get out.
Finally, at about 3, they decided to break it up and get on to Hogwarts. It was almost 3:30 before James and Lily could get back to the finally deserted common room. They crashed on the couch, exausted but extremely happy.
"Hey, Lil?"
"Hmmm?"
"I know a lot of people told you already but you look very beautiful tonight."
"Mmm, even laughing my head off?"
"Yes. You're always beautiful. But when you were dancing..." He leaned over and kissed her deeply. She felt a thrill come up from her bottom, rising to the top. She loved kissing James, as much as she loved James, every part of him.
Lily yawned. "Best get to sleep... Just one more week of school!"
James rolled his eyes. "School. Ha! You mean, sit around and do nothing."
"Right, yep. g'night, James."
"Good night, Lily. Sweet dreams."
~~~~~~~~
Yes, those were the times when I was happy. Graduation... another happy night at The Creamery... the summer... But oh how things would change...
*~*~*~*
Here's a toast
To all those, who hear me all too well...
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's gonna come too soon
All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go...
*~*~*~*
OoOoOoOoh, cliff-hanger. Well, cya in a few days when I write the next chapter! This chapter featured songs by ABBA teens and Eve 6. Next chapter... Nya I won't tell!
