The Flower's Story chp14
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched they must be felt with the heart."
-Hellen Keller


Through the next month, the whole school was buzzing with what happened on the train, (Lily thought it was very strange how Peter just happened to miss the train) and who they would be going with to the first school dance. All the girls had their dress robes and hairdo's picked out, but not their dates. For Lily and Tasha it was the other way around. Tasha and Sirius were the only ones who had noticed a change in how Lily and James talked and looked at eachother.

"Look at them!" Tasha whispered to Sirius
"Something is up!"

"Nothing is up Tash! They're having a staring contest. Ow!"
Tasha hit him

"Really! They're having a staring contest huh?"

"Yes! What is the big deal!" he was getting tired of this

"Then why in the world of muggles would they be holding hands?"

Sirius shot his head up and looked at James and Lily. He saw their hands close around each other, their eyes had a sort of glow to them. Sirius tried to rack his brain to the night on the train. He remembered Lily yelling at him, then Tasha came to him, she was crying.

"SO?" She asked

"SSSHHH I'm thinking!" she racked his brain harder

Where did Lily go after that? After Tasha came to him..................she.........went to James!

"I remember now!" It was like a candle had been lit in his head

"What do you remember?"

"Where Lily went after you came to me on the train! She ran to James, I think he was babbling about something" he lowered his voice "Then all of sudden she leaned over and kissed him!" he waited for his praise and genius

"SO..................they've kissed on the cheek before!" She rolled her eyes

"No! No no no no, she kissed him on the lips! Tasha I think there is a new couple in Hogwarts!" He saw Tasha's face brighten

Tasha was so excited! It all came together, why Lily had come back from the Hospital wing in a Bubble world, and why James actually fell off his broom in a Quiditch practice. He's usually never misses a beat in Quiditch! Tasha reached over to Sirius and gave him a big kiss. She took her bag and went upstairs to her dormitiory in a hurry.

Sirius looked like he was drunk.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

It was the weekend before the dance and Lily and Tasha still didn't have dress robes. Lily and James still thought no one knew about them being 'together'. Tasha thought she would break it to Lily at Hogsmeade. There was a store there that had very nice dress robes.

While Lily and Tasha were walking towards Hogsmeade Tasha noticed Lily in another bubble world. She thought this would be the most perfect time to tell her.

"So...Lily, you haven't told me who you're going with to the Dance?"

"Hmm? Oh, someone!"

"Please tell me!" 'I'm such a genius!' Tasha thought to herself

"You'll see this Wednesday!" Lily had such a smirk on her face

"It wouldn't happen to be James would it now?" That smirk was smacked right off her face. She stopped dead in her tracks and looked at Tasha.

"How did you know?"

"Please Lil! ONE) did you really think Sirius and I are that stupid? Two) You two look at each other like you gonna have a kid- your not pregnant are you you?" Lily shook her head no "Oh good! Any way Three) Sirius saw you kiss him on the train!"

Lily smiled

"He actually remembered that?"

"Yes! Well we can't stand here forever! She grabbed Lily by the arm and ran to Hogsmeade

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

The night of the dance, Lily and Tasha were sitting in their dormitory waiting for Molly to show them he dress robes!

"Molly I'm sure you look gorgeous now get out here so we can get changed!"
Tasha was getting impatient

It seemed that Molly glided out of the bathroom. Her dress was a bright purple with ruffles on the sleeves. Her hair was tied all the way up in curls. She had sparkles on her eyes.

"You look lovely Molly!"

"You two haven't even started! Tasha you get dressed and I'll start on Lily's Make-up and hair!"

Lily had never seen Molly this........................commanding.

Once Tasha was in the bathroom changing Molly sat Lily down and started on her short hair. While she was pulling the top of her hair into twisties Molly felt like she had to get something out.

"Umm, Lily?"

"Yeah? OW!" She had pulled one too tight

"I just wanted to tell you I'm going to the dance with Remus!"

Lily smiled "I'm going with James!"

"Like the whole school doesn't know that!"

They laughed.

*-*-*-*-*

The boys were downstairs playing chess. It didn't really matter to them if they were late or not, they were just a bunch of nerves.

James looked up and saw Lily come down the staircase with Molly fussing over Tasha's hair.

Lily's dress was an emerald green to match her eyes. There was only speghetti straps on it and the back was crossed. It had a pattern of stars on it. Her hair was half held up in twisties and half down in curls. Her eyes seemed to glow. There was only one word that described Lily right at that moment. An Angel.

Sirius saw the look on James' face and shook his head at him. 'love sick puppy!'
But when Sirius looked at tasha, His face resmbled James' the same.

Tasha's gown was silver, with long sleeves that flared at the end. Her hair was down all the way and it had little butterfly clips to match the effect of the dress.

"Let's go! I can't stand waiting around here all day!" Tasha was very annoyed

James gave Sirius a look that said "lucky you!"

"James, I'm not trying to be pushy or anything but............DO you own a brush?"

He considered this for a moment. "No!" he said simply dragging her along the corridor.

When they entered the Great Hall the sight just stunned them. There were different colored candles floating around, and there seemed to be bubbles coming out of some of them. The platform that the Teacher's usually sat at was transformed into a stage for a band. They were actually really good! The dance floor seemed to glow a bright silver color whenever someone put there foot upon it.

"May I have this dance mamma?" Sirius asked Tasha

"I thought you'd never ask sir!" they went onto the dance floor

There was only one way to describe how Sirius and Tasha danced. WILD. They dashed across the floor, knocking into people. When Professor Flitwick got knocked over McGonogall marched right up to them and asked them to wait until a slow song to continue dancing. By then the other four had already sat down with their pumpkin juice.

"Marvelous show Sirius ol' boy!" James said raising a glass to him

"Why thank you ol' chap!" He collapsed on a chair

Lily looked to Tasha and saw she was in her prime. Lily smiled at her.

A slow dance started to play and Sirius and Tasha ran to the floor. But McGonogall gave them a look of warning, so they toned it down.

"Lil?" James asked delicately

"Hmm?"

"Wanna dance?" He looked nervous

"Of course Darling!" she took his hand and they went to the floor.

He put his hands on her waist. She giggled.

"What? That tickled!"

'What a cook!' James thought to himself with a smirk on his face

Lily folded her arms around his neck. They swayed back and forth to the music. Every now and then they would comment on the music or on all the other odd couples around the floor. But Lily didn't exactly see anything else except James' eyes. She always thought their was something strange going on with his eyes.

"What?"

"Huh? What what?"

"Your looking at me funny!"

"I am not and even if I was that doesn't mean anything! You take everything so serious......"

She went on and on. It wasn't exactly James' fault about what happened next. The little voice inside his head told him to do it! He never disagrees with what the little voice sais! So he pulled her closer and she gave him a look that said 'Oh dear!" He smiled at her and leaned in for the kill. Well, kiss rather. It was everything they said it to be. As had been all the other little kisses they shared. But this one was shown in front of the whole school, so it sort of got to the point where even the teachers' mouths were hanging wide open.

"Is that allowed?" Tasha whispered to sirius

"I sure hope so." He followed James' lead and leaned in. Tasha was caught unaware of this. When he pulled away she looked stunned.

There was a ripple of young men in the great hall leaning in for kisses. Some got them and some got smartly smacked across the face. Lily and James snickered at the unfortunate ones yet kept on dancing. This was certainly a night to remember.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

The group of six walked with their couples to Gryffindor tower. They were still laughing at each other about the ripple of kisses. Remus had actually kissed Molly, but only on the cheek.

"Snape kissed his date too!" Lily announced

"What happened?"

"The slimeball, had a date?"

"And all this time I thought he was a puff!"

"Well, No he is not a puff, yes he had a date but an ugly one! And he got slapped!" She giggled not missing a beat

They reached the tower soon after that. They all said goodnight again. But James wouldn't leave without stealing another kiss!

"I'm going to have to get used to that!"

"Yep! Goodnight!"

"Goodnight!"

Once they were back in the dormitory and changing Tasha started to rage about the night.

"That was spectacular! Lily, you had some action tonight!"

"Hey that's not fair!" she said climbing into bed

"Oh yes it is!"

But Lily pulled the curtain shut and the second her head hit the pillow she was asleep.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Lily looked around the room she was standing in. It was a nice quiet sitting room. A cabin! There was a crib in front of a bright fire. She couldn't here anything but the short intake of breath. Lily walked up to the crib. She stopped half-way there noticing a pair of hands sticking out from behind a door. She then kept on walking to the crib. When she got there, there was a baby with jet black hair. His hands were so tiny and it looked as though he was struggling to breathe.

He started to stir but Lily put her finger on the child's sheek to sooth him back to sleep. But the second her finger graced his smooth skin, the door with the hands flew open. She could hear a high pitched laughter, There was a man standing there with two limp bodies at his feet. A man and a woman. He took them by their hair and with a snap of his fingers their bodies straightened out. It was James and herself. Their eyes were so cold. They were dead.

*-*

Lily jumped out of her bed and ran into the bathroom. She started hyperventilating for a few minutes. She felt sick to her stomach and ran to the bathroom. She actually did get sick for a bit. She looked at her face in the mirror after washing it. She looked all pasty and sweaty. She took a deep breath and thought to herself. 'It was only a dream. It was only a dream.'

She walked back out of the bathroom and looked at her bed. It seemed like there was blood all over it! Lily didn't want to go anywhere near it.

"Lily wassamater?" Tasha said groggily

"Go back to bed Tash" she said quickly, not taking her eyes off the bed

A loud snort told her Tasha was way ahead of her. Lily sighed and took a long robe out of her draw. She quietly opened the door and crept downstairs. She couldn't sleep in her bed again that night. She laid down on the couch and watched the dying fire. She let her eyes heavy eyelids drop down and she was soon asleep. The only thing she could hear was the short intake of breath from a baby.
