A/N the whole "." thing is a total habit sorry if it bothers people I will try to stop doing it.. Sorry this took long getting posted.. I don't own anything J.K. Rowling does.. REVIEW.







"If I never believed that you were beautiful before tonight.. I completely and utterly believe it now.. thank you for coming with me to this dance.." James smiled at Lily.. Lily's heart skipped a beat.. Maybe he does like me. She thought.

"You look very beautiful too. I'm glad that I came with you." Lily kissed James on the cheek and turned to walk to the great hall. Thinking that tonight would be the night where she tells him that she likes him. James was also thinking the same thing.

When they danced together everyone was watching them. James and Lily knew that people were watching them, but didn't really care.

James was also wearing mid-night blue dress robes. They both looked really good together.

Debbie and Sirius were sitting in a corner just watching their best friends dance.

"I knew this was going to happen. I knew it." Debbie was excited for her friend. She knew that Lily did really like James and now she knew that James liked Lily.

"You really need to calm down. Its just puppy love, James has never kept a girlfriend longer then a couple of weeks. I don't want him to hurt Lily but I have this feeling that in the end he will. And she will hate all of us again." Sirius had come to think of Lily as his little sister, all he wanted to do was protect her from getting hurt.

"Well if that happens we have to disown James." Debbie was quite serious. She didn't want her best friend to get hurt, but then again Debbie was known to date boys and just leave them hanging. Almost like a black widow spider leaving her "catch of the day" hanging for a little while only Debbie just leaves them completely.

"I hope you were kidding. He is my best friend you know, even if sometimes he acts like a stuck pig. But hey I still love him and I'm sure Lily will to." Sirius knew that if James hurt Lily again there was no way that Lily could forgive James like she did before.

"I do hope you are right." Debbie didn't want to have to break up with Sirius, just because their friends didn't like each other.

Lily and James danced every dance. When they got tired James asked Lily if she wanted to go for a walk out by the lake.

When they were walking the one thing that was on both of their minds was that they really did like each other, but wasn't sure if the other liked them. So they were nervous, and sweaty.

"James, can I tell you something, and you promise not to say or do anything." Lily with nerves of steal said..

"Yeah I promise. What do you want to tell me." Lily paused for a moment after he said this.. She even stopped to look at him.

"ilikeyou" Lily said this much to fast for James to catch it.

"I'm sorry I didn't catch that." James knew what she had said but wanted to be sure of what she said. Lily took a deep breath.

"I think, I mean I know, I like you. Are you terribly upset.. I honestly don't know how it happened.." Lily was cut off.. when James said..

"I like you too.. I have for a while, probably since we started to actually be friends, and talk to one another." Lily smiled a James a real smile not just one of the cheesy ones that she usually does but a true smile. James smiled back he couldn't resist smiling.

"I can't believe this.. I mean I was so afraid to tell you and you liked me too." Lily begin to laugh, and so did James because he had been fighting the same battle as Lily.

Then they both stopped and looked at one another.

"What are you thinking right now." Lily asked James..

"I am thinking about how beautiful you are, and how much that I do like you. How it would be nice to kiss you but I wont because I know it would be your first kiss and I don't think that you want it to be with me." James smiled.

"Is that really what you think.." She asked

"Yeah. It is." Lily thought about this for a moment

"Then maybe I should change your mind"

Lily put her hands around James' neck and moved her head up to his and pulled his towards her. James could feel the warmth radiating from Lily. When their lips were an inch apart, Lily let go and stepped backwards. James didn't know what to think, maybe she had changed her mind and she really didn't like him.

"Maybe not today though." She smiled and grabbed his hand and started to walk back towards the castle.

"Tease." Was all he could mange to say.

Debbie and Sirius watched Lily and James walk out to the lake. They couldn't hear them talking but you could almost see what they were saying.

When their heads started to move closer together, Debbie was jumping up and down. Sirius thought that Debbie had lost it, but then he saw what was happening and was also jumping up and down. If you were in the crowd and saw this you would have thought that they were nuts too.

Once the dance was over and they were all lying in their own beds, they were thinking about how this was going to change their relationship as friends.

Debbie and Sirius knew that it was never going to be the same again.

James and Lily just thought that they would become better friends, and maybe even kiss someday. They didn't think it would change that much.

James wanted to kiss Lily when they were by the lake, but obviously Lily was not going to be up to kissing him for a while.

Lily thought about why she didn't want to kiss James and she couldn't come up with one single reason why she didn't want to, there were plenty of why's she wanted to kiss him.

'Then maybe I will kiss him tomorrow, if I get him alone long enough.' She thought.
