Chapter V

Nothing much happened over the next couple of weeks.

James and Lily were both busy with Quidditch and the upcoming Ball.

Since the incident in the common room, their little talk, they had been on good terms with one another averaging at about 2 fights per day compared to the usual 5.

More and more reports had been entering into Hogwarts about a force some where to the East. This did not affect any of the students but there was still that fear there that no one could explain.

Countless attacks had been made on both Wizarding and Muggle communities, across Europe all the students had been affected by these attacks and many had lost relatives and friends.

Everyone feared his name, everyone feared him. He was the cause of so much bloodshed and uncertainty. He was the nightmare that none could hide from. He was Lord Voldermort.

He was known as You-Know-Who, well to those who feared his names he was know as You-Know-Who. Dani had lost her oldest brother to the monster, back in her first year. He had been sent out on a mission by the Ministry on a raid to catch with any Death-Eaters, the scum that were known as Voldermort's followers.

He was somewhat older than Dani and she had not known him like a sister should know her brother because of the constant travelling, but her was still her brother and she had been distraught!

That was the beginning of the fear that was destined to reign through Hogwarts and through Lily.

Her being muggle born, made her fear for her family. As the majority if the attacks were made on muggles with connections to the wizarding world (A/N: Why is it masculine? It could have been the witching world, but nooooo it had to be Wizarding!). But the days at Hogwarts came and went and nothing came.

The Quidditch Match was coming up and Lily and James were busy with practice and the afterwards ball.

All was coming along well. Lily and James had perfected a more they had been working on since the end of their fifth year. James as their Quidditch captain came up with all the most intricate moves, and plays that they had and with Lily's help they perfected them.

"Lily we have one more week till the ball and the Quidditch match" James whined

"Well, what do you want me to do about it" Lily replied

"Well, you know how we are being horribly forced to open the dance together?" James asked.

Lily nodded slowly, recalling the meeting they had had a few days ago saying that prefects from the same house had to open the ball along with the Head Girl and Boy.

"Well" James continued "I need some help with the.. ummm. dancing side of the arrangement"

"What!?" Lily asked surprised halting in the middle of the corridor they were walking down causing people to stare.

She grinned sheepishly and turned to face him "You can't dance?" She hissed

"Nope" James said

Lily mumbled something incomprehensible and agreed to teach him. "I wish you had come sooner," She said while leading him towards the empty Charms room.

A few screaming matches and a lot of bruised toes later they emerged satisfied. James had picked it up really quickly and after only two hours he and lily were ready to face the music (Literally).

"James you pick it up really quickly" Lily told him as they made their way to lunch "I thought we would have been there for days"

"I'm a quick learner" James replied smugly.

"Don't get to cocky," Lily said in an attempt to deflate his very huge head.

They reached the table and made there way to their friends who were sitting together yet again.

"Where have you two been?" Dani asked suspiciously

"Making out in some closet I suspect" Sirius said matter of factly (Sp?).

"I was teaching James to Dance" Lily informed them

"Translated, I was teaching James to snog properly" Sirius said

"Ha ha ha" James said

"I don't need teaching in that department, I was born with a expertise in that!" James said

"Yeah right!" Lily coughed "I need proof" And with that she leaned over to face him and pressed her lips to his.

This immediate sensation rushed over her. She felt like she was where she was meant to be. She did not want to stop, and the way James was going neither did he. She was losing control of her conscious mind! Her body was speaking for her.

James's hands reached up and begun stroking her face as hers moved to his waist as if by magic. She vaguely heard someone clearing his or her throat. And then someone yell their names. They pulled away to see a very angry looking Mark Lowly standing there.

"Hi, Mark, umm how are you" Lily asked still flushed from umm recent events

"Lily, why are you kissing him?" Mark asked as if he couldn't care less

"Ummm it was a dare, Dani and Sirius dared us to kiss" She quickly lied

"Well I want to take this opportunity to break up with you" Mark quickly said

"You cant, because I am breaking up with you, this just isn't working out, I'm sorry mark" Lily said apologetically.

"Yeah, you and me both, well see you round, bye"

"Bye"

Lily turned to see all her friends wide eyed. And James staring guiltily into his lunch.

"What?!"

"Nothing, Nothing" Dani replied

"I'm sorry Lily, I didn.." James said

"Don't! I didn't like him anyway! Don't worry I don't blame you at all! Lets just say it was inevitable"

"Ok, but I still feel bad" James said

"Hang on, maybe you should be talking about that kiss right now instead of whose fault it is" Remus suggested

"What's there to talk about?" Lily asked knowing full well that the passion the had held less than 5 minuets ago is pretty evident amongst their friends

""Come on, you know you both need to talk about it" Sirius said

"Sirius just drop it ok!" James said forcefully

"Ok, whatever dude" Sirius said defensively

"So, do you guys have dates for the ball yet?" Lily asked conveniently changing the subject

"Yep" Mary cried

"That was more directed at the single members at the table but, you go girl," Lily said smiling

"Not yet, people keep asking but I am working finding the perfect date, and someone I haven't dated in the past" Dani said

"Well, sweetie, that leaves you with few choices, seeing as you have dated most of the school" Sirius said

"Shut up, you cant talk I am sure you have dated more girls than I have boys" Dani shot back at him

"That's not the point, I'm not being fussy with whom I choose" Sirius said

"Well I don't see you with a date!" She told him

"I don't want to rush into it" Sirius said playfully

Dani just rolled her eyes in response to that "Why don't you two go together?" Remus suggested

"I said I wasn't going to go with anyone I had previously dated" Dani said

Suddenly Dani shot up, realising what she had said. Sirius's face had turned to stone shocked. He looked at her questioningly and then turned back to his lunch

Dani looked equally as shocked if not more. They had agreed when they had had their relationship last year that they would tell no one. Not only for Lily and James's sake but also for their own reputations.

"Ummm, I was only joking, I would go with Sirius if he didn't sleep around like he does!!!" Dani said before she could stop herself.

"Who says I sleep around?" Sirius asked angrily

"Well aren't you? You act like you are, all those girls you flirt with, the ones you disappear with of a night?" Dani said hysterically.

"Contreay to popular belief, I am not that much of a slut, unlike you," He said while rising to his feat to face her.

With that she looked him in the eye, tears about to break lose and slapped him hard across the face and ran out of the hall.

"I had better go" Lily said standing up to leave

"I'll come to," Mary said also standing up. She gave Remus a small kiss before running off to catch up to Lily.

"What happened there, we went from James's happiest moment, Kissing the girl he has longed for, since first year to Sirius's past blowing up in his face" Remus said amazed.

"I don't know what happened, I didn't know that she was still upset over it I thought she was over it" Sirius said more to himself than anything

"Do you want to talk about it?" Remus asked sympathetically

"No, I have to go, I'll talk to you guys later" And with that Sirius left.

"Do you know what just happened?" Remus asked "No idea, I have never seen Sirius so torn up over a girl before" James said in disbelief "Except this one girl he dated last year after he broke up with her he was pretty upset"

"Do you think it could have been Dani?" Remus asked

"Hey, it might have been, it makes sense" James said

"Yeah, we will go find Sirius when he cools off a bit" Remus said "Now" he started with a huge grin across his face "What about you and Lily flower? Whoa, that was some pretty heated passion passed between you two!" Remus said

"She wanted proof so I gave it to her" James said smirking

"Man, you are so in love its scary" Remus said

"I'm not in love with her!" James said defensively

"But you like her! And I don't blame you! She is beautiful!" Remus said

"Even if I did, it wouldn't be mutual. She doesn't like me" James said

"Right!" Remus said not believing him "Then she kissed you because?......"

"I don't know... she was just mucking around!" James said trying to convince Remus but failing miserably. "I don't want to talk about it!" James said ending the conversation

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

"Dani, Dani wait up" Lily called after her friend

She stoped abruptly and turned.

Lily and Mary quickly caught up to her and hugged her. Dani was trying her hardest to hold her tears back but they all know that she could not hold on for much longer so they quickly walked the rest of the way to the Common Room and up to their Dorm.

Alex and Derain, girls that shared their dorm were up there looking trough their schoolbooks. They looked up to see the three girls enter. Noticing Dani and her twisted face they got up and left hugging Dani and a quick attempt to comfort her.

As soon as the door has shut she burst out into sobs. Lily and Mary comforter her till she was ready to talk. She sobbed quietly for about fifteen minuets. She slowly got up and dried her eyes. Lily and Mary looked at her waiting for her to speak.

"I liked him soo much!" She said suddenly. They comforted her again till the new wave of tears had ceased. "I swore off love in our 2nd year after seeing Harriet and Jacob break up in the great hall" She said again closing her eyes.

"We remember, you said, 'I refuse to ever fall in love if it ends like that'" Lily recited

"Yes, that was until I started going out with Sirius Black. It was the longest relationship that either of us had been in and it was the best!" She said remembering all the good times with a sad smile

"Then he cheated on me," She said, the smile dropping from her face. "I saw him near the Lake with Martha, you know the Slytherin bimbo and I never spoke to him again "Man, how much freaking food have you been eating?" James said jokingly

"You are just losing all your muscles, Lily is turning you to mush with all that love crap!" Sirius said laughing

"Haha, she does nothing of the sort," James said showing Sirius his muscles in his arm

"Come on" Sirius laughed as they headed up to the Quidditch field.

Just as they rounded a corner they met up with the rest of the team waiting for them.

"Come on, we need to practice little Charlie up" Lily said ruffling the 4th years hair (A/N: I know that Charlie would be heaps younger, but I cannot be bothered to think up another character)

"I'm not little!" He replied. Everyone just laughed at that.

"Come on, up we go" James said kicking off from the ground.

Through out their practice, Sirius kept stealing glances of Dani when he was sure no one was looking. He caught her eye once but never again. And when they spoke, as the two beaters it was pretty necessary, it was brief and not at all personal.

Lily, James and the 3rd Chaser, a fifth year, were working with Charlie. He was pick it up very quickly and would almost definitely be ready for the coming up match.

After practice, Lily and Dani were walking to the broom shed when Sirius ran up calling out to them.

"Oh great" Dani said all the sarcasm drowning out the joy that she secretly felt.

Lily turned to face him and was about to tell him to go away when Dani stepped forward \.

"Lily, do you mind?" Dani asked hinting at her to leave. When Lily was out of ear shot Sirius began.

"Dani, let me first say that what we had last year, for those whole twenty days, was the most mind numbing, incredible time I have ever experienced. But I was scared. I had never fel like this about anyone." Sirius began as he steered her towards the great lake. "When I was with Martha, all I could think about anything but you and when you saw and ran I didn't go after you because I thought it was for the best, I was trying to prove to myself that I could live with out you but I cant" He was almost in tears at this point. If she would not take him back he would beg. He would do anything to make her realise how much she had and still does mean to him.

'Sirius, I don't know if I can do this" Dani said avoiding his eyes. "I don't know if I could handle another break up with you. I have tried my hardest to not fall in Love or get hurt, and you do all those things to me. I'm sorry" She turned to walk back to the castle.

"But...." Sirius started but she put her hand up to silence him.

"Don't make this any harder," She said sadly. And she turned and walked swiftly back to the castle.

Sirius watched her walk away. not blinking, not taking his eyes off her until she entered the castle.

"Damn" He cursed. He picked up a stone and threw it into the Lake. The stone then flew out from the lake and missed his head only just. He gave up and walked towards the Castle.

Suddenly someone jumped out of some near by bushes and stood right in front of him.

"Snape, what do you want?" Sirius said through gritted teeth

"Nothing but to inform you that you are losing your touch" Snape said with a smug grin on his pale face.

"Thank you for analysis of my current love life" Sirius said walking away from him

"Or lack of it" Snape laughed with his greasy laugh

"Oh and your "Love Life" is something to brag about" Sirius shot back at him "Not including stalking Lily Evans"

"Ha, why would I waste my time with that stupid Mudblood?"

Sirius lost all his patience with the slime ball and lashed out violently.

Sirius punched Snape and he fell to the ground breathing heavily. Snape went to get up but Sirius had already walked away with disgust. Leaving him they're loathing the sight of Sirius and hating everyone that had ever associated with him. In particular James Potter, the Gryffindor goodie goodie, Dumbledor's favourite student around nice guy. How Snape hated him.

Snape had always Loved Lily Evans and it was common knowledge amongst the school. Although it was not that amazing, because many people loved her. And now that Potter was winning her over it added to his anger. Potter got everything.

He stood up a few drops of blood sliding down the side of his mouth. He wiped them away and walked away back to the Castle.
