Chapter 6
The Yule Ball
A/N: Yesm. This chapter will be about the Yule Ball and nothing else except for the beginning. I'm continuing from the last chapter. CLIFFIE! This chapter might or might not end with a cliffie. The only way for you to find out is to read. So what are you waiting for? **THANKS TO ALL THE REVIEWERS. SCROLL DOWN TO SEE EACH LITTLE MESSAGE**
*~*~*
"Mr. Black!" Professor Mcgonagall exclaimed.
"Wha-a?" Sirius asked in a dazed voice.
"Would care to share with the class what is taking your mind away from this lesson?"
Everyone was staring at him waiting for an answer. "Uh..."
"Do you want me to take 20 points off of my own house?" Professor Mcgonagall said sternly.
The Gryffindors were now glaring at him for not giving an answer. Sirius was tongue-tied so he said the only thing that was on his mind.
"Steph." He said.
Steph turned around from her seat.
"Pardon me?" Mcgonagall asked.
Sirius finally came to his senses and blurted out the lamest thing he had ever said in his life. "Steph's quill is on the floor."
Steph shot him a questioning look and looked down. Her quill was indeed on the floor. She turned to Lily who was looking back and forth between them with curious eyes. Steph shrugged.
Professor Mcgonagall was looking at him as if she was thinking over whether to believe him or not. "Twenty points from Gryffindor. This is for making me stop my lesson to deal with such nonsense." She went back to rambling on about the lesson. Sirius half listened to her while thinking about the upcoming Yule Ball. It was in two days. He would be going with Steph. Maybe things will change by then.
*~*~*
"Steph!" Lily shouted among the chattering. Transfiguration had just ended and they didn't have any more classes.
"Yes?" Steph said stopping herself from walking.
"Come on. Let's go back to the dorm rooms." Lily said pulling Steph. Steph tried to protest but Lily wouldn't let go of her.
There was no one in the dorm rooms except the two of them.
"Okay. You better tell me what's going on between you and Sirius." Lily demanded.
"There's nothing going on between us." Steph insisted.
"Right. Try again."
"I have nothing to tell you, Lils."
"You are not going out of the room till you tell me."
"Oh well. Then I guess I'll be missing dinner."
"Stop it, Steph. Just tell me. I won't say anything to anyone."
"There's nothing going on between me and Sirius. How many times do I have to tell you?"
"What was that in Transfiguration?"
"Sirius being stupid?"
"Ugh. Can't you just tell me?"
"There's nothing to tell."
Lily was quiet for a moment. "Are you guys going out?"
"Of course not!" Steph said incredulously.
"Are you lying to me, Steph?"
"No."
Lily seemed to have relaxed a bit. "Okay then. Why don't we pick out our accessories for the ball?"
"Sure." Steph gave her a small smile while wondering about the ball.
*~*~*
Two days later…
Lily and Steph were adding the last touches of their make up before going down to meet with the guys. They were allowed to wear Muggle dresses for the ball. Lily was wearing a form fitting black dress that sparkled in the light. Her eyes were done in a smoky gray. Her hair was up in a sleek French twist. Steph was wearing a white dress with sparkles. She even had on a pair of glass slippers and she felt like Cinderella. She had curled her hair. They were waiting for another one of their roommate, Brigitte Loretti, to finish getting ready. Brigitte was going with Remus. She was wearing a pale blue dress.
The guys were all wearing black dress robes. (a/n: I know. How morbid. But that's not the point. =P)
When the girls descended from their dorm rooms, the guys opened their mouth in surprise. Sirius was trying hard not to slobber all over Steph. He couldn't take his eyes away from her. He always thought she was pretty. But in that dress, she looked wow. He was speechless.
"So what do you think?" She asked doing a little twirl.
"Y-You like great." He said. He took her hand and they went down to the Great Hall.
John Frank looked like he was the luckiest guy on earth.
"Wow. You look nice."
"Thank you." Lily said grinning.
Remus goggled at Brigitte for a moment before he finally said something.
"You look beautiful."
"Thanks. You too." Brigitte said smiling at him.
*~*~*
It was a magical night. Everyone was having so much fun dancing and laughing. Except one. He looked at the girl who was dancing with that git laughing at something he said. The girl he was going to ask to the Yule Ball. He was dateless. Probably the only one. He sat in his corner observing everyone. There was Potter dancing with Summers. Lupin dancing with Loretti. He decided to get up from his seat and ask the girl to dance.
"May I?" Severus asked Steph when the song ended. Sirius looked like he was going to beat him up.
"Sod off, Snape."
"Sirius." Steph said in a serious tone. She turned back to Severus. "Surely."
Sirius shot Severus a glare and went to where the food was and sat down.
"How's your night so far?" Steph asked.
"It's been okay." Severus said.
"Severus, I hope you're not angry at me." Steph said.
"Who is the person that you like? It's not Black is it?" He asked.
"No, it's not." She said quickly.
The song ended and Sirius cut in.
"Thanks for the dance." Steph said.
"I can't believe you were dancing with that slimy git." Sirius exclaimed.
"I'm not dancing with him anymore so stop complaining." Steph said.
He seemed to be content with that and pulled her closer. Steph placed her head on his shoulder.
"I think we should get Lily and James to dance together." She said softly. "That was the whole plan right?"
"Uh-huh. But let's wait a little while." Sirius mumbled.
"Mhm."
*~*~*
Lily was getting some pumpkin juice when James came up from behind.
"Fancy meeting you here." He said.
"Should I be suspicious of your charismatic behavior?" She asked taking a sip of her juice.
"I was always this charming. You just never noticed." He said smirking.
"I think this must be a dream. We're actually having a civilized conversation."
He chuckled. "Want to dance?" He asked.
She shrugged and gave him her hand. They danced to a slow song.
"Where's your date?" She asked casually.
"I don't know and personally don't care." He said. "What about yours?"
"Got bored." She said and added. "Probably snogging with a girl."
"What-t?" He asked in disbelief. "He gave up his date for another girl who probably isn't half as beautiful."
Lily stared at him. James acting all charming and now complimenting her in one night was too much. He seem to realize what he said because he pushed her away.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"Getting some fresh air." He said and walked out of the Great Hall. Lily felt lonely and cold all of a sudden. She pulled her shawl close to her and headed the way James went.
*~*~*
"Where are we going, Sirius?" Steph asked giggling. They were outside of Hogwarts to get some air.
"You'll see." Sirius said. She could have sworn she saw a smirk. She couldn't see where they were going since it was pitch dark. There was no moon that night. They walked in silence until finally Sirius stopped. She nearly bumped into him.
"Here we are." He declared. Steph looked around and gasp. There was a small lake and all around it was flowers. "Lumos." Such a romantic spot, she thought. She wondered if he brought all his dates here.
"You're the first person I've shown." Sirius said like he was reading her mind.
"It's beautiful." She said in awe.
He took her hand and sat down on the grass. He looked at her and she was staring at him.
"Sirius, I don't think we should do this." She said quietly.
He didn't say anything but just leaned over brushing his lips over hers. He left her trails of kisses from her forehead to her chin. She wanted him to kiss her lips but instead he pulled away.
"Let's go." He said standing up. She opened her eyes and sat there for a moment taking in what happened. She got up and they went back to the ball. Her mind became mush from his kisses. They were so soft. She sighed.
*~*~*
James had gone to the lake to clear his mind. He felt someone following him and turned around to see that he was face to face with Lily.
"James?" She asked.
She looked so fragile in that dress. He wanted to go over but his feet wouldn't move.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I wanted to see if you were okay." She said softly while walking closer to him. She touched his face.
He couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed her. She seemed surprise at first but she relaxed. He put his hands on the small of her back and she put her hands to his neck pulling him even closer. She was intoxicating. He couldn't get enough of her. He never would have thought kissing Lily Evans would make him feel like this.
