Chapter 3 : The Ball Commitee
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Rain drummed hard on the deserted classroom windows. James Potter sat on one of the desk scuffing the toe of his shoe as he kicked the floor...waiting. Waiting for her, Waiting for them. He pushed his hands through his hair nervously, what would Lilly say when she found out he had organised a Ball Comitee behind her back without even telling her...Oh well, what should he care? I mean she didn't even what to help the other day...why should she care now?
But even as he thought these words to himself, he jumped when the classroom door opened. But it was only Sirius, Remus, Clarity and Zammy, all smiling broadly their scarves pulled tight around their necks. It was obvious they had just walked through the courtyard.
"Hey mate!" said Sirius shaking his head like a dog so water flew everywhere "Where's old Evans?"
James stood up and said, "Oh Lilly isn't here yet."
"She's at the Library...Oh thanks Remus," said Clarity as Remus undid her sopping cloak and hung it on a peg.
"Yeah, she should be here any minute," said Remus taking of his own cloak and hanging it next to Clarity's.
"You've told her haven't you James?" said Zammy, pulling her hair out of it's pony tail and running her hands through her think black curls, "James? You told her you asked us to help right?" James said nothing.
"Oh James," began Sirius, his eyebrows raising, "You told her you formed a Ball Commitee...didn't you? Please tell me you did..."
"I...uh...I just haven't got round to it...yet." mummbled James retreating to his seat on the desk once more.
"Oh James!" exclaimed Zammy, "She's going to freak at us! Maybe we should leave while you tell her..."
"No mah dear," said Sirius putting an arm round Zammy's shoulder's, "She won't kill us she'll kill him" Sirius pointed at James.
"Look I bet she-" James said, but at that moment the door burst open and Lilly swept in.
"Sorry James I got stuck at-" Lilly began, but at that moment she stopped dead and looked around. Then she began to grin, "Oh hey guys...I guess James hasn't told you yet. We're planning the ball today, kind of Head Boy and Girl business..." she looked awkward when none of them said anything. Then everyone's heads turned to James, who just mummbled something like "thebacomugiwubi".
"What?" snapped Lilly, slamming a folder down on the desk next to her.
"They're...they're the Ball Commitee." muttered James feebly.
"Oh they are the ball commitee are they? How stupid of me not to recognise them!" she was grinning sarcastically now, "WHAT BALL COMMITEE?!?" she screeched.
"The ball commitee I put together when I thought you didn't want to do much work...look you should be grateful...Now we won't have to do all the work ourselves now."
"James being a Head Boy doens't mean you put together a group of people to do the work for you! You take the responsibility yourself and DEAL WITH IT!!"
"Lilly!" said James getting up and putting his arms on her shoulders, "Look, The Ball Commitee is a great Idea we can plan a great ball and have a good time with our friends at the same time..." Lilly looked as though she wanted to explode, but then her face relaxed and dropping her head onto James' shoulder she muttered "fine...okay" into his chest. James put his arms around her and hugged her. Lilly didn't pull away. James' eyes widened and he stared gaping around at Remus, Sirius, Clarity and Zammy who all gaped back.
Lilly seemed to notice this and her head snapped up suddenly. She snatched her folder up of the desk and started handing around pieces of parchement to everyone so they could take notes on ideas for the ball.
*
Over the next few weeks The Ball Commitee turned out to be a complete success they met every Monday, Thursday and Friday to discuss what was happening on each of their fronts.
The Commitee was split up into lot's of mini sections that dealt with different aspects of the Ball. Zammy and Clarity, were incharge of design of The Great Hall, and wherever they went they carried great sheets of parchment with sketchings of floating pumpkins and material arrangements on them, folders of ribbon samples, colour charts and thick notepads full of ideas and designs. Sirius could be found everynight in the Gryfindor Common Room designing different styles of invites and flyers, then trying bewitch them to smell like baking pumpkin or when opened to go off with a bang then shoot out orange fire crackers. Remus was seen wherever he went writing on parchment things like how many chairs around a table there would need to be, how many actual tables there would need to be, how much food and drink they would need and how many live bats would be suitable.
James and Lilly were left to organise what sort of food they were actually going to serve and who they were going to get in to play the music. They also had to meet with Dumbledore once every two weeks to collate all their ideas and scratch out to bad ones.
After almost a month of busy planning the final week before the ball was upon them and all of the Commitee could be seen at Breakfast and Dinner handing out flyers and invites, while answering peoples frantic questions about dress code and partners etc.
The day before the ball the Commitee were sat in the qudditch stadium watching the Gryfindor practice. It was a cold breezy night, but they all felt they had to be out of the hussle and bussle of the common room, so wearing their scarves and gloves they were now sat in the stands happily reliving the past month's events.
Zammy was on Sirius' lap and she kept kissing him on the chin. Remus had his arms around Clarity and she was laying her head cozily on his chest and had her arms around his waist. They were all sat merrily talking but Lilly had her chin on her hands and was watching James practice Quidditch.
She had certainly grown to like him more over the past month. He had been so nice and serious when they were planning the Ball. Lilly and James had had to spend a lot of time alone planning meetings with Dumbledore and things like that.
Lilly was thinking about a night two weeks ago when James kissed her again in the common room. No one had been there, they had come back from planning the music and he put his warm hands on her cheeks and pulled her into him. It had been amazing and warmed Lilly when she thought about.
But, she thought with a pang of anger, He had proablly just used her to get rid of pent up sexual frustration!! I mean after all her had asked Bella Fleetley to Ball...But then again, Lilly had said yes John Dougal, a Ravenclaw, before James asked Bella.
Lilly didn't know why she'd said yes to John Dougal...she didn't really even know him. But as she sat her fingertips freezing in the cold and watching James speed across the quidditch pitch, she knew why she'd said yes to John Dougal after all. He had asked her the day after James and her had shared their second kiss, and she knew she had been afraid that James would ask her to the ball...If she said yes to James, everyone would know she felt for James...and she couldn't do that. She didn't know why...she just couldn't.
"Lills, come on!" It was Clarity. The practice was over and they were all getting up and heading out of the stadium to meet James.
"Oh right...yeah just a second!" said Lilly standing up and following them. Zammy walked off, arms around Sirius, and Clarity walked off hand in hand with Remus. So Lilly was left with to walk with James.
"Guess it just you and me left to get togehter," he laughed.
"Uh..yeah," Lilly laughed to.
"That was a joke by the way," said James, "I know you'd never go out with me...ever,"
"Don't be so hard on yourself James...your not that bad." said Lilly grinning at him. Feeling a new subject would be best she said, "So it's the big day tommorrow, eh?"
"What? Oh the ball yeah!" said James, watching his feet. They walked quietly up to the 5th floor, only talking occassionally, to mention stuff like homework or Sirius and Zammy...nothing important. Until Lilly turned to James and letting the others walk out of earshot said,
"Thank you so much James."
"For what?" said James.
"You know...everything...The Ball, being so serious and stuff about it."
"Well I know it meant a lot to you that it went right..." said James smiling at her.
"You're so...so different," said Lilly. James took her hand in his.
"Good...or Bad?" he said looking intently into her eyes.
"Good..." she whispered rubbing her nose against his, "Very Good,".
They kissed....and kissed....and kept kissing deeply until a plump witch in a portrait screamed that they were squashing her, when they had gone to lean against the wall. When Lilly pulled away, James was startled to see she had tears in her eyes.
"Whats wrong?" he asked trying to stroke the tears out of her eyes with an elegant finger. But Lilly pushed his hand away and said,
"We can't keep doing this!"
"Doing what?"
"Kissing...then pretending nothings happened! Then we go and kiss again and pretend like theres nothing there...." she burried her face in her hands, "Because if you just like kissing me and don't really feel anything just tell me...okay?"
"Lilly!" said James wrapping his arms around her, "I would never do anything like that to hurt you...I kiss you because I feel something really strong for you."
Lilly pushed him away and still sobbing said, "Well prove it...show me you really do." and with that she ran off up stairs. Leaving James feeling confused and upset.
"I do love her I really- wait did I just say love?" James thought, but just then a voice from behind him made him jump. A bald wizard in a painting above him said,
"She's a lovely gal...don't you let her go!"
"Oh don't worry, I won't." murmmered James, and walked off to bed. Thinking all the while off Lilly Evans.
