"What books do you need anyway? I could've gotten them for you." Lupin's voice was low, but calm.
"Oh, just a few books for Professor Flitwick's class, doesn't matter."
"So......uh...you mentioned that dance later...I guess you're going eh?" His voice became a little more hesitating.
"Yeah Lily said it was gonna be real fun. Only I dunno if I wanna go...I mean you're supposed...to have a date and such...heh..."
"Oh...yeah I heard...well umm...do you think...er...would you want...to go with...me? ::gulp::"
There were a few moments silence, and Lupin didn't dare look at her. Though from the corner of his eyes he could see her long, dark brown hair being pushed out of her face. Mustering up his courage he looked up at her excited expression which made his heart jump, which then quickly disappeared as if she had just remembered something terribly important. It was just as she was about to say yes to his question. But she took a step closer to him and leaned up to his ear, his height not being an advantage to her.
"I'm sorry, it's not you, but I just remembered something, and I can't go to the dance. I can't explain it now, but hopefully someday I'll have the courage to..." She looked at him for a moment, smiled, and kissed him on the cheek, then waved good-bye. She was gone...down the hallway. Lupin blinked in defeat and sighed, walking back to the common room.

Before Casey got to her room, she turned around to see Sirius.
"I knew I heard someone following me." She smiled brightly to him
"Well...I have been meaning to ask you for a long time now...," Of course Sirius' courage was much more than Lupin's, and he walked closer to her, taking her hand,
"Will you go to the dance with me?"
Casey laughed a bit, a kind-hearted sweet laugh, and nodded her head, "Sure I'd love to."

James walked down the hallway clutching his wand and looking around for Snape. He smirked as he saw Snape walk around the corner toward him, but his excitement left as fast as it had come when he saw Lily Evans walk around the other corner in the same direction. Suddenly what Jess had said about the party popped into his head. He couldn't help but think how stupid he would look if he didn't have a date. Meanwhile Snape had walked right passed James without saying a word, but James didn't care.
"Hey Evans!" James called running up to Lily.
She stopped and turned to look at him as if to say: "How dare you talk to me."
"What Potter?" Lily asked suspiciously
"Um...well...you got a date for the dance tonight?" James stuttered
"Well no...", Lily trailed off, "do you?"
"No" James replied
"Well, uh...yeah so...I guess, ya know?" Lily said oddly
"Yeah, I guess" James replied
"Yeah"
"Yeah"
"So"
"Ok"
"Yeah"
They both looked at each other oddly for a second then walked off in different directions. James smiled to himself and ruffled up his hair. He knew something definitely good had just happened there.
