James and Lily



Chapter Six: The Ball and the Common Rooms





Lily couldn't believe it. How could James and Remus do such a thing? Their trouble making had gone too far. She had almost thought that James was actually NICE. Wiping away a drop of tear, she ran back to her dorm.

In the dorm, she sat on bed, thinking of the dance with James and the common room incident. How could they?

There was a small creak and Bella entered. "Hey, Lily. What are you doing?" she asked.

Lily forced a smile. "Bella, I have something to tell you." She said weakly. She just had to tell SOMEONE about the dance with James. She just couldn't leave it in her memory without telling anyone. Then, it would just burst.

"Mmm, what Lils?" asked Bella, flopping onto her bed.

Lily hesitated. "Well, Bella, promise not to tell anyone about this? I can't stand anyone hearing this."

Bella nodded seriously and locked the door and put a sound proof charm on the room.

"Well, Bella, you see..." she trembled and let the words rush out on their own.

"I was in the dorm by myself. I thought I was the only one who didn't go to the ball. I didn't have anyone to go with. I just didn't have the courage to ask someone out. I was really bored, so I went to the common room to read by the fire. I was reading for a while, thinking no one will come. But apparently, I was wrong. James and Remus didn't go either. James accidentally sat on me. Remus wasn't there that time."

She took another deep breath and continued. "Then James asked if I wanted to dance a little with him. He said he was really bored and didn't have much to do. So I agreed."

Bella looked outrageous. "Y-You danced with him? Why didn't he ask you out if he was going to dance?"

Lily shushed her and continued. "We danced for a while, and then, oh, I don't know. I just felt like I was in heaven or something. James was about to kiss me when you and Sirius came in."

Bella giggled. "Oops, did we ruin a good moment?"

Lily gave her a thriving look and continued. "We just left then, and James told me to forget about tonight for at least now. And then, you know, about the crowd, it was really James and Remus. I overheard them talking just now. They even pranked the prefect bathroom! Their pranks had gone a step too far!"

"Really, I thought James was a nice guy." With that, she turned away, looking very sad.

Bella could only watch helplessly.

But Lily really thought James was actually good in the heart now, but her opinion changed immediately the next morning.
