"How could you, Sirius!" He snapped, walking ever closer with a pained look in his eyes.
Sirius grimly replied, "Quite easily, as you might have noticed."
Groaning, James placed his wand away and tried to regain his temper, moving towards Sirius, who backed away, concerned that James would try to punch him; if it came down to muggle duelling the taller, leaner Sirius would beat him any day....
He ducked out of the way but James walked past him, head held high, and Sirius turned to watch him curiously as he marched over towards the stage where the Skeleton Sisters had stopped playing. Leaping onto the stage he grabbed a microphone and Remus caught Sirius' eye, worried - they hadn't anticipated this in the slightest.
"Wondering why I'm so angry?" He roared, his voice about 10 times louder than it would have been. "Well, my BEST FRIEND knows that I've FANCIED someone for about 3 YEARS and then he SNEAKS off behind my back and KISSES HER AT THE DANCE!"
People in the crowed were exchanging looks - was this really James Potter, the calm, laid-back mischievious boy they knew?
"Well, its time to let the whole world know - I LOVE LILY EVANS! THATS RIGHT - I LOVE HER!"
The hall gasped at this blatant declaration of emotion and in a wave of turning heads they all faced Lily, wondering how she would react. Amazingly, a single tear trickled from one of her glassy eyes and fell down her cheek; she was beaming, smiling radiantly, amazed that the boy she had liked for so long could declare his feelings in such a public manner.
James leapt from the stage and made for the doors to the Entrance Hall swiftly, now slightly embarassed - he had let his emotions get the better of him and now he deeply regretted the way he had put forth his feelings for Lily, especially considering she was there.
"James, wait!" Her soft tones broke the awed silence and everyone watched her sprint forward towards the black haired boy, who had turned around and was watching her approach him nervously. "I love you too."
Though her tones were low the whole hall heard her, and everyone watched with baited breath as an astounding smile broke onto James' face. Lily grabbed the front of his tux with one of her long-nailed hands and pulled him into towards her, kissing him forcefully and cupping his face with her hands -
"WHOOOOOOOO!" Sirius cheered and began to clap wildly along with Remus, breaking the stunned silence that had swept across the hall. Following their lead everyone exploded into cheers as the romantic pair stood kissing, finally together after three years of hiding their feelings from one another....

That night Sirius left with Jennifer, after informing her that he had hoped to go to the dance with her but his first concern had been to help James along. She had understood completely and had been rather glad to finish the night with the boy she had intended on going with in the first place, and around 2 o'clock the pair retreated to Gryffindor Tower where they sat alone in the empty common room and 'got to know each other better' til dawn.
Remus and Fiore had gotten along swimmingly and by 1 they had made their excuses and had went to walk outside in the grounds; the intellectual pair had talked for most of the night, and had been found curled up on a stone bench by Sirius the next day, Fiore's head in Remus' lap and Remus' hand resting on top of her hair.
As for James and Lily? Not long after their first kiss they had exited the hall and made directly for James' dorm room with the other Marauders; no- one had been brave enough to disturb them until they both joined everyone for breakfast bleary-eyed the next day...
