Chapter IV

"CHANGE MY HAIR BACK NOW!!!" Dani screamed, still chasing Sirius down the halls of the castle.

"NEVER!" He yelled back

Soon they had found themselves deep within the castle, down in some unknown dungeon.

"Sirius where are we?" Dani asked when they had stopped

"Black, Wells. What are you doing down here?"

They turned quickly to see who had spoken. It was Snape.

"We could ask you the same question" Dani replied

"Their Common room is just up that hall" Sirius whispered to her

"I could be forced to deduct points from Gryffindor if you don't leave, we don't appreciate Partial mudblood cluttering the halls" He told them.

He was of course referring to Dani. Her Mother had been a which.

"Take that back NOW!" Sirius yelled at him.

Snape yelped and tried to subdue his terror. He was doing a good job of it until Sirius jumped on him.

Dani unable to watch this any longer pulled Sirius up off Snape as she was silently thanking herself for her position on the Quidditch team and the muscles it provided her with.

"Come on Sirius, we have to go" Dani said dragging him away from Snape

"He.. he.called you.." He said amazed at how well she was taking it

"I know, don't worry its his only insult towards me, he is so un-original" She said as they walked away from Snape "Sirius, why did you do that? I can take care of myself"

"I know but it just made me made to hear him use that horrible word!"

"That's not nearly as bad as what Lily gets from him" Dani said looking at him "I think he likes her or something, he is always appearing near her, she gets really afraid sometimes."

"Has she told anyone?"

"No, this is Lily we are talking about, she couldn't bring herself to do something like that"

"Oh" Sirius said, "We are near the potions room, perhaps it would be best to go straight there then go back to lunch, we only have about ten minuets"

"Yeah, ok. Damn I hate potions"

"Young lady, don't swear" Sirius said with mock seriousness.

She laughed as they walked

The rest of the way they walked silence until they got to the potions room.

They took a seat next to one another and waited for the rest of the class the come in.

"Ahh my hair, I forgot!" She cried.

Sirius just laughed to himself

'Please change it back" She pleaded

"Sorry, no can do babe" he said all the while laughing

"Sirius Black PLEASE! I hate begging especially to you, please change it back!" she said giving him her best impersonation of a puppy

"Fine" He muttered a incantation and her hair immediately went back to the light brown colour it usually was, when Sirius was not around.

"Thanks" she said and hugged him. She immediately realised what she was doing and pulled back blushing slightly

"Your charm affected my thinking for a moment" She said trying to repose herself.

Slowly the class filtered in for their Potions lesson

"Where did you two get to?" Lily asked running over to them "You left me with Potter"

"Mary was there" Dani reasoned

"She was in a closet with Remus"

"Oh, hehe" Dani said "Sorry"

Lily sat in the seat in front waiting for Dani to come and sit by her. She felt someone sit and assuming it was Dani said "Potter is such a bloody idiot"

"Oh he's not that bad" replied a masculine voice

Lily quickly turned to see James Potter smile at her apologetically. She then turned to see Dani talking amicably to Sirius.

She growled, "Potter go sit somewhere else, I feel like spending today's class with mark"

"No you don't because Mark is in Ravenclaw"

"No he is not, he is in Hufflepuff"

"Mark Lowly is in Ravenclaw"

"Oh" She said admitting defeat.

"I would hate to be your boyfriend!" James muttered instantly regretting it as soon as it left his mouth, why, he could not for the life of him work out.

"Well there is no worry of that happening" Lily replied somewhat disheartened by that.

Just then the Potion Master walked in signifying the start of the class.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lily walked down the stairs that night ready to leave for the prefect meeting when she suddenly remembered the request of the Head Girl and Boy.

'.Would you please remind Mr Potter as I am sure he will forget...'

She turned back from the portrait hole and made her way up to the boy's dorm.

She reached the door and knocked.

"Come in" someone yelled from inside.

She entered to see... clothes, rubbish, and no room to move let alone sleep and live in.

"Lily, How wonderful of you to come visit us!" Sirius called from a bed, or what she thought was a bed, she could not e certain under all the clothes

"Where is Potter?" She asked

"In the bathroom, he should be out soon"

"Thanks, do you mind if I wait for him?" She asked

"Nope, pull up a piece of clothing and sit down"

"I'm fine standing" She replied

Just then James walked out of the bathroom in boxers, only boxers, nothing else but boxers.

Lily's eyes went wide, god did he had a good body.

"Hello flower"

"Potter, we have a prefect meeting" She said trying not to be distracted by this amazing being standing in front of her. "I'll wait outside" and with that she promptly walked out.

I may hate him but, damn, he is hot! Lily thought to herself Agh, not Potter, Potter cant be hot, he is Potter She reasoned

James walked out fully dressed a few minuets later.

"Come on flower, we'll be late"

"Yeah, thanks to you"

"We need to organise more Quidditch practices, the match with Hufflepuff is in a few weeks, we need to find a replacement Keeper Soon if we want to have any chance of winning"

"Replacement Keeper? What happened to Fremont?"

"Didn't he tell you? He said it interfered with his grades so he quite!" James said surprised Lily dident know

"Did you have anyone in mind?" Lily asked

"Not yeat, I thought we could hold tryouts on the weekend"

"Yeah, ok, but we might be busy with the ball"

""I should only be for a few hours, we will talk to McGonagall, and she'll be ok about it"

"yeah, ok"

They reached the Transfiguration room and realised that they had kept everyone waiting

"Sorry" Lily said as they took their seats.

The head Girl started to talk.

"The ball is to be held some time this term, I think the earlier the better because it will get to cold otherwise"

Mihara Natsum was a petit girl with Asian heritage. She was beautiful, and was the sweetest thing, the first years loved going to her for advice.

"Any suggestions for a theme?" She asked addressing the whole of the room

"What about something to do with autumn as it is autumn right now, and most probably when the ball will be held" Carissa Smith a Slytherin prefect suggested

"Yes, we will certainly consider that" Mihara said encouragingly "Anyone else"

"What about we hold it after the upcoming Quidditch match, it can be like a whole school after Quidditch ball" James suggested

Murmurs ran up and down the table suggesting this idea was liked but most if not all

"Ok, well another ideas?" Mihara asked

No one answered

"Ok, well we will vote on it" the Head Boy, Daniel Peterson said

"All those in favour of the autumn theme raise your hand" He said

Carissa raised her hand along with Snape, the other Slytherin prefect

"All those in favour of the after Quidditch ball raise your hand" He said

Everyone remaining raised his or her hand to that.

"Ok it's settled, it will be held after the Quidditch match, do you have and exact date for it?" Mihara asked

"yeah, Saturday the 10th of November" James informed them

"What years should it be for?" Storm, the Ravenclaw prefect asked

"What about 4th years and up, that seems to be the more popular age group for the balls" Mihara suggested

there were nods all round agreeing with her.

"Ok, well that will do for tonight, we will inform you of the next meeting, Dumbledor will announce the ball tomorrow at dinner"

Lily and James made their way to the Gryffindor tower, arguing over who they were going to take to the ball.

When they reached the common room, they noticed it was almost empty

"Lily" James said turning to face her "Can we talk now?"

"Yeah, I suppose" She agreed. She walked over to the fire and sat. James followed and sat opposite her.

"Lily, I have been thinking about what you said a lot today, and I still cant believe you think I hate you, I mean, its not like we go out of our way to make on another miserable, we just muck around, tease on another occasionally" James said

"Yeah, I know, and just for the record, I don't hate you either!" Lily said

"I really am sorry for today and all that" James said

Lily blushed slightly "Whatever, I have no idea how you get so many girlfriends, you are hopeless when it comes to women" Lily laughed

"Well when you are in a closet somewhere, you don't really talk so there is no need to be"

"Right, you're mad!" Lily said still laughing.

"Oh, Lily, babe, I am so offended! How could you say something like that" James said with mock horror

"Sorry" Lily said standing up, getting ready to go upstairs. Before she could work out what was happening James had picked her up and put her on the lunge and tickled her.

"Ahhhh Potter!" She yelled through fits of laughter

James just laughed.

Lily was squirming so much that she rolled off the lounge and into James's lap.

"I have to go to bed" she said looking up into his eyes. They are so peaceful and brown Lily thought

"Ok" he said softly. She waited a minuet then slowly got up

"Night" She called after him

"Night" He replied softly. He waited until she had gone in before making his way up to his own dorm.

When he reached his dorm, he was questioned briefly by Sirius and then went straight to bed.
