Disclaimer: Let me clear this up right now, these are not my characters,
well most of them aren't, and the world itself is not mine. Both of them
belong to J.K and I don't have any money so it wouldn't do any good to sue
me anyway this basically helps you avoid the attorney fees. One more time,
only the plot is mine, the rest belongs to J.K.
Author's Note: Well I guess this one should go out to my little sister, Kristy, who wouldn't let me go to bed tonight so I'm up and writing. I also want to say hello to Krista and Choclatkiss!. By the way; I hit a homerun in my game, not that it really matters but I've been in a slump so this was a big deal for me. I know it's short (really, really, really sort, the shortest yet I think) but I want to do the dance in one sitting so I get in the mind set and don't have to keep switching back and forth between that and everything else I have to do so this is sort of a connection chapter. (Only 9 weeks until school's out! YAY!)

"Well Sirius, how about this one?" Lily said as she spun around, the skirt of the light blue dress being swept out as she twirled. He looked up at her; this had to be at least the tenth or eleventh dress she had tried on in the past hour. The black one was too short, the red one didn't look good with her hair, the purple clashed, and the only green left had been too pale, not matching her eyes and making it seem, unbalanced. "So, any good?" Lily bit her lip as she asked, this was the only dress left in her size and it was getting late, glancing out of the window she could see the sky turn twilight, the sun painting the sky a shade of orange and pink.
Sirius had to catch his breath. She was stunning. The dress was simple but only brought out her really beauty more than any ornate decoration ever could. The three quarter sleeves fell slightly off her shoulder and when it reached her waist the blue fabric flowed out, cascading like a waterfall before settling into place. The golden locket glimmered and her ruby hair, which was pulled back for convenience, tumbling down the middle of her back. While you would assume that blue wouldn't look good on her it only gave her more charm. "Sirius, wake up! What do you think? Do I look alright?" A small giggle escaped his lips. "Sirius." She wined, her voice going high at the end.
"Lily you look, well you look stunning, absolutely beautiful. You're missing something though." He added glancing at the wraps by the counter. "What else do I need, I have a dress. This is more than enough Sirius." She replied, flipping one of her curls back. "It's winter Lily and that won't be warm enough for mid-December." He walked over to the counter and took the silky white chiffon wrap down and walked over to her, draping it over her shoulders. "Now that's better, you won't freeze to death now. How about you go and change back into your regular stuff and I'll go pay for this." He picked up a pair of white heels, the shawl (wrap everyone), a chiffon bag that was bell shaped and the ticket for the dress. "Sirius," she turned towards him looking right past him eyes and into his soul, "thank you." She turned, going back into the dressing room, her curls bouncing behind her.
James sat in the common room, running a hand through his coal black hair, crumbled up all around him were pieces of parchment. He couldn't write a word of poetry for his life and a love sonnet was even harder. He used to be good at expressing himself, but now every word he scratched with his quill seemed wrong. Nothing could really describe Lily. She was beyond beauty and her personality? You couldn't find anyone better in the whole world. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted.
With a swish of the portrait in walked Sky and Arabella, both looked at each other as their eyes met James', panic etched on their faces. As if in silence exchange, Arabella nodded and bounced up the stairs. Sky turned towards him and popped down next to him.
"So James." She began, trying to make conversation. "Yes Sky, what's wrong? I know it's something. When is Arabella gonna-be-Black quiet." James could always tell when something was wrong with Sky and Arabella, they would be unusually quiet. "James would you be really upset if I went to the dance with David Nevin instead of you? I mean we were only going as friends and well, this could be, well something more if you know what I mean." Her eyes trailed away from his and her cheeks blushed scarlet...
James you stupid, stupid, moron. Can you make this any worse? First you're going with Sky as friends, then you get Remus to ask Lily for you, sort of, then we ask out Narcissa. He mentally kicked himself "No problem Sky. Don't worry about it." She jumped up, relief evident on her face. "Thanks James, I owe you one." Sky kissed him on the cheek and ran upstairs "Arabella! He said it's okay!" echoing off the walls. James picked up the quill and leaned forward over the parchment again and began to think about his situation. "I'm such an idiot." He mumbled under his breath. "Such an idiot, I should have asked Lily in the first place." Flames flickered in the fireplace, playing off the planes of James face as they flickered again. Then they died out.

Well, didn't I say it was short? I was kicked off my computer at about 12:30ish so I didn't get to post it so I'm going to do that right now. If I don't directly say it, I thank everybody who reviewed, you're the reason I keep at this one (
CrazyStacy: It's happening, slowly but it will happen. Thank you so much for the review.
SAKURAnTOKYO: I love Sirius so far, I'm trying to make him a bit different from the usual constant mischief maker and give him a bit more dept but he still gets to have fun at the ball with Narcissa.
Sierra Sitruc: Remus is one of my favorites too, even though he isn't in his chapter. I should warn you that you will probably feel bad for Remus soon but I'll just have to fix that. I don't know if I can leave Remus completely alone, it would annoy me too.
Martini addict: Isn't Sirius adorable in this one! The last chapter was one of my favorite chapters to write. I want to get 7 out this weekend and then it will be about a week maybe a bit less. It should happen so soon, remember that this is 7th year so it has to happen soon. It's going to be sad and romantic and everything rolled into one when I'm done, at least I hope my plan works out.
Kristatwen: Slowly but surely. If you didn't read the little note in the top, go back up and give it a look ( I hope to talk to you soon. Hope this one was okay.
Sasseesam: Sirius is such a good character and I'm so glad he went over alright. This chapter had some Sirius and the next should too. I have to bring Remus back and that stupid, idiot, butterball rat aka Peter the Power-eater Pettigrew. I'll talk to you later (hopefully).
Miki: Here it is and more is on the way, just have to get it from my mind to my computer screen without messing it up too much.
Chocolatkiss!: Thank you sooooooo much! That means a ton to me, really. I know that this one was really short but I had to fix a small plot hole that was bugging me and it's more of a connection chapter. I hope this doesn't disappoint you. Next one should be out soon, because I can only really write on weekends I try to get two chapters done. Make sure you look at the top author's note (
AmiAmiNSusu: Thank you for the review. It makes my day brighter. You were the 50th review so thanks again!
Shits and Giggles: I like your name, it's really cute. Hope you liked this chapter.
Beauty Full: You really think it's good? Thank you a million times over. I hit a homerun but we walked in the winning run, oh well I play today and then on Monday. I'm so happy you think it's good. That means the world to me. Next chapter should be soon.
Sweet Star: I loved your poems; I gave James sort of my complex in this one as far as writing poetry goes. I just can't do it. I think it's about 9 weeks until summer and then I'll be writing about a chapter a day ( Hope you liked this one.
Wow, I never imagined one review and I have 53 on this story so far. Well, if you read this can you please review. It only takes a moment, please. I'll thank you, as a matter of fact I thank you right now for even reading it but if you review I'll thank you even more. Please review
