"Good work people. Thankyou for your help." Lily said as she watched a 5th year Ravenclaw put the finishing touches on the decorations. "It looks beautiful," she murmured. The younger prefects stayed to make sure nothing happened in the Great Hall while the 7th years were getting ready.
"Lily! Quickly!" Arabella pulled Lily into their dorm. "We don't have much time to get you looking gorgeous for the Ball!"
"What are you saying Bella? Don't I look gorgeous already?" Lily said indignantly. Jessabelle snorted and Arabella laughed out loud. "Hey!"
"Organising the ball must have been more than our dear Lily could handle." Jessabelle commented, then handed a small mirror to Lily.
"AAAAUGHHHHH! We don't have enough time!" Lily cried.
"Yes we do. We'll make you a Cinderella yet. Where's your dress?"
Despite Lily's fear she was ready for the Ball in time, although only with just enough time to get down to the Great Hall. James, Lily and the other prefects had to open the Ball.
"Is that Lily? Our Head Girl? The one who looked like she had traded her hair in for a bird's nest not an hour earlier?" The two prefects from Ravenclaw came up to Lily.
"Thanks" She replied dryly.
"Oh, Lily. You look beautiful!" It was true. Lily had chosen to wear a muggle-style ball dress, but ignoring the usual fashion of the '70s and settling with a plain emerald green dress, though she hardly looked plain in it. She had her hair piled on top of her head, much like in a movie she had once seen, Breakfast at Tiffany's. Lily looked beautiful, elegant and every bit the Head Girl.
"Can you believe we have to leave this place?" One of the Ravenclaws continued. "It's like a second home." Lily turned to the girl, finally acknowledging her.
"I feel exactly the same way." Lily was about to elaborate but Dumbledore waltzed over.
"Time to start don't you think? I believe there are some very excited Graduates on the other side of this door." He indicated the entrance to the Great Hall.
"Ready when you are, Professor." James walked over to them. The music started up, quietly in the background and Dumbledore magically opened the doors. The Feast was spectacular. The House Elves had really out done themselves this time. Everyone sat in his or her house groups albeit at smaller, more inviting tables. Soon it was time for the actual Ball. Dumbledore stood up and the Great Hall grew silent.
"Before we start the dancing and general fraternising," He winked, "I would like to thank the Head Boy and Head Girl along with the prefects for such a wonderful evening that I'm delighted to say is not yet half-finished." Dumbledore smiled out at them, waiting.
"Do we clap?" Sirius whispered to James.
"I think so." James replied. Sirius stood up and began clapping, followed soon by the rest of the Hall.
"Thankyou Mr. Black." Dumbledore continued on, "And now I ask our Head Boy and Head Girl to begin the Ball."
Lily and James stood up smiling, "If you and Sirius don't join us within five seconds I'll never speak to you again. And your toy boy will never have children." Lily muttered to Arabella through her teeth.
"Sold!" Arabella watched James and Lily walk to the centre of the room. They began dancing, still smiling at everyone.
"Where is that cow?" Lily muttered.
"Pardon?" James looked down at Lily.
"Bella promised me..... nothing, never mind." Lily replied, trying not to notice that this was the closest contact she had had with James for the last two months.
"Sirius?" Arabella tore her eyes away from Lily and James, "You don't plan on having children do you..... ever?"
"What? Why?" He growled, furrowing his brow.
"Uhh.... Lily said something 'bout dancing and your children and the likes." She waved her hand dismissively.
"Bella! Come on. Let's save the poor confused souls." Sirius grabbed her hand and led her to the dance floor. Not long after Sirius and Arabella had joined Lily and James on the dance floor did the rest of the 7th years begin dancing. As soon as it was safe, Lily broke away from James and walked over to Arabella.
"I'm not speaking to you ever again." Arabella just grinned at her.
"Umm... Lily? Do you want to dance?" A shy Hufflepuff had cautiously approached Lily. "Uh, that is as long as your not involved with James or-" Like a scared little boy he looked over his shoulder and seeing James walking over quickly backed away. "Sorry, I didn't mean-" The Hufflepuff practically ran away from them.
"Um, whoops? What did I do?" James was looking at Lily, clearly confused as she glared at him.
"Nothing." She spat out. "Absolutely Nothing!" Lily stalked off and grabbed the closest guy, starting to dance with him. James watched her, a strange feeling trickling down his spine.
"It's just guilt." He muttered, watching Lily dancing.
"Pardon, James? We missed that.... could you repeat it?" Arabella smirked at him.
"We have to do the prank now. It's perfect. Too early for anyone to have disappeared or gone to bed so everyone will be involved." Sirius cut in before James could respond. "Prongs you get Moony and Jess, Belle you get Lily and I'll find Wormtail."
"24, 36, 82, Haut!" Arabella chimed in, earning weird looks from those around her. They all split up and met again just out the door of the Great Hall.
"Okay, are we ready? Where's Wormtail?" James asked Sirius.
"Couldn't find the little devil. Doesn't matter. We'll find out who he has the hots for then won't we?" Sirius smiled maliciously.
"Away! Away! Evil, away!" Arabella placed her hands on Sirius head while she chanted.
"Oh, dear. Padfoot has gotten to her." Remus commented. "Are we getting this done now or what?"
"Who's doing the honours?" Jessabelle asked. They all turned and looked at Lily.
"Fine," She grumbled, "Versus amormeton!" Glitter was showered down on the occupants of the Great Hall.
"It's so pretty!" Some girl squealed. Everyone stopped and looked towards the ceiling where the glitter was slowly falling.
"I don't like this, Albus." McGonnagal said quietly to Dumbledore. "Where are the Gryffindor Seventh Years?"
"Nonsense, Minerva." Dumbledore conjured up an umbrella and held it over his head. "The Gryffindors are talking just over there." He pointed to the door.
"Then why the umbrella?" She asked suspiciously.
"It's extremely difficult to remove glitter from my beard. Months later I'm still sparkling away." He said jovially.
The glitter had soon settled down and disappeared, much to McGonnagals relief, and everyone resumed dancing. The Gryffindors entered the dance again.
"When's it going to work?" Arabella asked Lily.
"Right about...now." Lily answered. Just as she spoke it seemed that realisation dawned on every face in the Great Hall, if it were a cartoon then light bulbs would appear above every head. There was a mad rush as everyone humiliated themselves by professing their undying love for those who had been just mere crushes the morning before. It had seemed like a cruel joke and hardly a prank but Sirius had reasoned with them, 'If they don't tell their feelings before the end of the Grad. Ball then there might not be another chance!' with a meaningful look towards James.
A good-looking, tall Ravenclaw walked towards Lily and Arabella proving that the charm had worked.
"Lily, I just had to tell you that I think I love you. You're the reason I get up every morning. Please will you dance with me?" Lily raised her eyebrows to Arabella who was trying not to laugh.
"Of course, Matthew." Lily smiled at him and took his hand. The Ravenclaw looked as if he were in heaven.
"I think she's over you now James." Arabella told him.
"Huh?" James was busy declining offers of dancing and marriage and 'Please take me! I'm yours!'s.
"Look." Arabella pointed to Lily and the Ravenclaw, Matthew who were slow dancing. James froze, staring at the two. The same feeling as earlier in the night hit him like a ton of bricks.
"You stupid idiot!" Arabella continued on, breaking James out of his reverie. "Wake up to yourself! She's not going to wait around forever!"
"What can I do?" James asked hopelessly.
"Go and dance with her!" Arabella gave him a push towards Lily.
"She'll kill me!"
"Just try you great big git!" Sirius came up beside Arabella, holding her protectively against him. He had seen a lot of guys looking at her.
"Fine." James walked over to Lily and Matthew. "Um, can I cut in?"
"Sure James. Go right ahead." Lily walked off leaving James staring at Matthew.
"Uhh....that's not what I meant." He quickly walked away from the strange stares the Ravenclaw was giving him. "Lily wait."
"What do you want now James?" Lily asked.
"I just need to talk to you."
"I'm sorry James, but I'm all done with talking." Lily shrugged her shoulders, "What can I say? I made a fool of myself in front of you, things are never going to be the same." Lily now had tears streaming down her face. "Believe me, if I could take it back, I would."
"Lily." James made to grab her hand but she stepped back.
"No." She turned around and ran out of the Great Hall leaving James standing by himself. He ran his hand through his hair trying to figure out why his whole chest seemed to be aching. James felt extremely guilty and regretful that he had hurt someone who he loved but that still didn't--
"Hang on.....I love her." He muttered to himself, a shocked look on his face.
"Indeed, Mr Potter." Dumbledore said, clapping his hand on the young man's shoulder. "And I believe the object of your affection has just ran out of the Hall!" James jumped at the sudden arrival of Dumbledore.
"You have to stop just appearing like that Sir." He replied.
"Give an old man his only pleasure, James. And while you're at it, go and get your girl before you lose her for good! Now! Or you don't graduate." Dumbledore joked and James ran out of the Hall.
"Now let's hope he doesn't screw things up, again!" Sirius said to Arabella as they watched James run.
"Don't even say it! You'll put thoughts into Fate's head!" She responded. Sirius laughed and bent down to kiss her.
"Ewww! Public affection! My eyes they're burning!" Jessabelle cried as she and Remus decided not to interrupt the two lovebirds.
"You have a problem with public affection?" Remus inquired, an idea popping into his head.
"No! I just-"
"Good." Remus cut her off as he grabbed her and kissed her quickly.
"Nope. No problem at all." Jessabelle said after she had recovered. "Hang on," she grinned impishly, "I might need reassurance on that one."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
James ran out of the Great Hall, trying to figure out where Lily could have gone. It turned out she hadn't gone far, James heard sniffing just up ahead. He turned the corner and was just about to call out when Lily saw him and began to run away from him.
"Lily! Please wait!" James finally caught up to her. "I need to talk to you!" He said desperately, grabbing her arm.
"Why James? School's almost over. We don't have to see each other ever again!" Lily struggled to get out of James's grip.
"That's what I'm worried about!" He let go of her arm but she didn't run off as he had expected.
"James-"
"Wait," He put his hand over her mouth, "Someone's coming. Let's go in here." He led her to an unfamiliar portrait. He tapped the frame and it swung open letting them enter.
"It's not a room?" Lily said peering over the edge of the balcony. They were in what seemed like a niche in one of Hogwart's outside walls, but high above the ground.
"Lily, have I lost my chance?" James asked before his nerve ran out.
"Excuse me?" She looked at him in confusion.
"Am I too late? Have you fallen for that Ravenclaw guy or something?"
"You were jealous?" She looked shocked now.
"No! I..... yes, extremely." He admitted. "Please tell me that I still have a chance."
"A chance?"
"To be with you." He looked straight at her, resisting the urge to look at his tempting shoes.
"But-"
"Lily, I love you." He took a step towards her. "I can't imagine what I've put you through, and it's all because I'm such an idiot."
"You're not and idiot." She protested quietly.
"I am."
"Okay, you are." She agreed smiling at him.
"I'm an idiot in love with you, Lily."
"And I'm in love with an idiot."
Their eyes locked in intensity as James closed the gap between them.
And kissed her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
*You Were There*
I guess you heard, I guess you know
In time I'd have told you, but I guess I'm too slow.
And it's overly romantic but I know that it's real
I hope you don't you mind if I say what I feel.
It's like I'm in somebody else's dream,
This could not be happening to me.
(Chorus)
But you were there, and you were everything I'd never seen.
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep.
I was alone.
I opened my eyes and you were there.
Don't be alarmed, no don't be concerned.
I don't want to change things
leave them just as they were.
I mean nothing's really different
It's me who feel strange.
I'm always lost for words when someone mentions your name.
I know I'll get over this for sure
I'm not the type who dreams there could be more.
(Chorus)
But you were there, and you were everything I'd never seen.
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep.
I was alone.
I opened my eyes and you were there.
Can I take your smile home with me,
or the magic in your hair?
The rain has stopped, the storm has passed
Look at all the colors now the sun's here at last.
I supposed that you'll be leaving but I want you to know
Part of you stays with me even after you go.
Like an actor playing someone else's scene
This could not be happening to me.
(Chorus) But you were there, and you were everything I'd never seen.
You woke me up from this long and empty sleep.
I was alone.
I opened my eyes and no, I'm not alone, I'm not alone.
I opened my eyes and you were there.
